i’ve been having a rough day for about 5 years now
i just read a washington post article on romcoms aging poorly due to the pushiness (and oft-stalkery conduct) of the male characters therein, and it got me thinking about pride and prejudice, and specifically darcy saying, “one word from you will silence me on this subject forever.”
because, like, that’s the seldom-portrayed romantic dream in the patriarchal hellscape that is our world, isn’t it?
a dude being willing to say, “i understand if you don’t feel the same way about me, and i’ll leave you alone forever about this if my attention is unwanted.”
so simple, yet so wonderful in its basic human decency
philosopher’s stone: no direct mention of sirius but hagrid gives harry a photo album with pictures of his parents and you know sirius is being actively handsome in at least a third of them (5/10)
chamber of secrets: a hollow, empty book (-10/10)
prisoner of azkaban: uncle vernon disapproves of sirius’ hair at the beginning of the book which means it looks sufficiently punk rock even after twelve years in prison. harry thinks sirius looks handsome in the photo from his parent’s wedding day and hp is super pissed off at that point so it must be an objective fact; other than that not a great time for sirius or his #look (7/10)
goblet of fire: sirius looks good even when his face is made of flames. feels true and right. (8/10)
order of the phoenix: an entire flashback devoted to the “casual elegance” of sirius’ hair and how good-looking he is. at one point he looks “rather haughty and bored, but very handsomely so”. excellent stuff jkr. would get full marks except for my inability to accept the end of this book (9.5/10)
half-blood prince: one can only hope that sirius is keeping it fresh up in wizard heaven but who can say for sure (2/10)
deathly hallows: sirius is described as carelessly handsome in a photo, although im personally skeptical about how careless it was. ghost sirius is tall and handsome, as per usual. (8/10)
villains who are like. shitty to kids are automatically irredeemable
