sometimes i judge my friends for sharing so much shit on their ig stories while they working, but then again here i am writing/reading stuff about fictional characters who, if they existed, would still be dead
to each his own 🤷🏼‍♀️
if you have a good sense of style, you come across as mean and you’re not concerned with people liking you, chances are you are a blackinnon shipper.
blackinnon headcanons | physical appearance edition
marlene’s eyes are brown with green and golden highlights noticeable with sunlight. to sirius it reminds him of the surface of lakes at sundown.
sirius’ eyes are light blue varying to grey. most people describe them as cloudy skies. to marlene it reminds her of the foam of the waves at the bottom of cliff where she spent most summer visiting her grandmother in the tiny island she lived.
marlene is tall (175 cms) but she still needs to tiptoe to reach sirius’ lips (186 cms). however, she’s the perfect size to drop little kisses at the nape of his neck. she loves doing that particularly when she has freezing lips after a winter excursion to hogsmead.
sirius looks very lean at a distance, but when you get up close and personal (as marlene does), turns out he’s very broad and muscular. marlene is constantly surprised when she buys him clothes having to look in the larger sizes. but it turns out that it provides her with comfy clothes when she borrows (sirius claims she steals) something to wear. she will be caught dead admitting he’s the reason she sometimes buys shirts and jackets on his size that are actually hers. she just loves when he wears them and his scent cling to her clothes long after.
on the other side, marlene leans more on the smaller frame but she’s all fiber muscle. she claims it’s all the tips in nutrition and proper training from her quidditch captain (the one and only james potter), but actually is due to the fact she constantly try to run and catch up with her older brothers so she could play with them. if it weren’t for that, she probably look more like a regular and more muscular quidditch beater.
that last one gives sirius plenty of chances to trick people into betting against marlene in quidditch matches or sometimes wrestling matches in the common room. marlene plays along because she enjoys proving people wrong. ofc that doesn’t last long after they finally catch up to the fact that marlene is actually quite strong. also, prof. mcgonagall frowns down on sirius gambling scheme.
sirius has always wore a signet ring with the family motto engraved in it. mostly hiding with magic, but because their cousins accused them with his parents he started wearing a lot more as to hide the family one. after he runs from home, marlene gifted him with his very unique and personal signet.
marlene wear lots of jewelry because she has always loved how her mother looks wearing them. most of her stuff is inherited, except for earrings. she went nuts piercing her ears first summer she went on an excursion with sirius in muggle london.
sirius wears a pinky ring that belonged to marlene and marlene wears a thumb one that belonged to sirius, but they also have a matching hoop with a little start dangling in both their left ears. sometimes, because she can’t quite comfortably use her wand, she takes the ring off and wears it as a necklace. sirius copy this once they join the order, in fear of losing it.
they both get into muggle clothing. sirius as a rebellious thing and marlene because she actually finds it more comfortable to move around. the matching leather jackets only became a thing after marlene borrowed sirius’ so often but she still prefers wearing his.
marlene cuts sirius’ hair, sirius does marlene pink highlights. as for bleach, sirius would rather marlene magically altered her hair as it looks more clean, but marlene really loves when her roots are showing. because of this, sirius makes sure to help her in hopes to get every strand of hair so it’s last longer all clearer.
as for tattoos, sirius never went too crazy seeing as he like doing them the muggle way and because of the order he didn’t have much time. marlene never got around to get any, though she wanted plenty.
watching my grandma take her medication with a glass of red wine is so walburga black coded
you should write a marauders (blackinnon) fic set in a Bridgerton-like setting! (high society, marriage mart, gossip column!). I looove ur writings❣️
omg thank u!! đź’—
that’s sounds interesting but i fear i would struggle a lot with time period accuracy in terms of language, common phrases and things like that (not that i would mind that much re-reading some classic in english to immerse myself in it).
you have for sure given me something to think about!
James Potter and Sirius Black, 1979
ballet academy au | blackinnon edition
boys in the ballet —well, men actually, but he recognize he had been acting more like a boy these days— were often times invisible. often in the background, unseen. they were like accessories of no true significance.
but the truth was, they were important. vastly so.
see, they were the pillars on top of which the whole piece, the whole choreography, rested on. they were unseen much like the beams in the ceiling of the theatre. yet the whole building would collapse if they weren’t there.
he realized that now, whether he liked it or not.
and it was all her fault.
he was ready to leave, to put it all behind him, but he wasn’t prepared to deal with the fact that it would be his fault if marlene’s career crumbled down.

how i think sirius understood he had feelings for marlene- i'm so canon u can't prove me wrong.
sirius was glad that the only person in the room was james. it was easier for him to let go of the breath he was holding in and slack his shoulders.
james, of course, knew right away that something was wrong.
"what's gotten into you? why are you wet?"
he was indeed soaking wet from the rain.
james was sat near the window, he was looking outside while playing with the stupid snitch of his.
"the rain got to me," sirius responded, closing their distance and throwing himself into the chair nearest to james. he let out a well held grown. "what are you doing?"
"i was waiting for you, mate? you're late. we made plans-" "oh, shit-"
"yeah, no shit you forgot-" james rolled his eyes. "i told remus and peter to go on. tell me what's up. there is no way you would forget a day out."
"i-" sirius looked around the room, "i fucked up."
"when don't you?" james snorted.
sirius kicked his chair, "prongs, man."
james snorted, after he regained his chair's balance, "so?"
"i was with mckinnon," sirius leaned on his knees, "i was helping her train. you really did a number on her the previous match."
"she knows me, i get heated up when shit gets fucked," james shrugged.
"i know. she said the same thing," sirius laughed, "and as mckinnon-"
"she wanted to prove me wrong?"
"yeah," sirius nodded, "so, i helped. it started to rain, she wanted to keep going. i had completely lost track of time- my bad, again, let me finish- and she reached a record- she got happy- smiling, laughing, she jumped on me before we could even land properly- and- and fuck- i don't know- i bloody tried to kiss her!"
"you what?!" james jumped from the chair.
"i did," sirius pinched his nose, "i just- she jumped, i caught her, and we were close and i just leaned in, and- and she leaned in- i think-"
"you think?! how does one think that?! weren't you there?!"
"i don't know! it felt like i wasn't- and-!"
"the last time i have seen you this worked up was when you lost your motorcycle magazine, mate-!"
"shut up-!"
"well, what happened?!"
"nothing! we just got up immediately as soon as i drew back and we said very awkward goodbyes-"
"the last time i saw you being awkward-"
"james, shut up!" sirius groaned "- and it hit me, james... when i was coming here- i think i like her. a lot."
pov: you’re harry being born to a bunch of 21 year olds
their thoughts and doodles below the cut <3
searched up what andromeda means and tell me this isn’t the most on-brand thing ever
like—
“an Ethiopian princess of Greek mythology rescued from a monster by her future husband Perseus”
so you’re telling me andromeda black was destined to run from the monster (read: the black family) and choose love over bloodline??
girl was literally named after someone who escaped a monster and chose her own fate.
Andromeda black said “yeah actually i will leave my toxic pureblood family and marry the muggleborn man i love”
icon behavior. prophecy fulfilled.
she was the rebellion.
i’ll insert the image for you all
sirius orion black,,,,,
i wonder whos hand that might be
