perciver (i have not abandoned my roots)

[rose-vanderan]

ron would be the sibling that's the most sympathetic to percy's conflicts with and eventual leaving of the family imo

[rose-vanderan]

percy, charlie, and bill are the people you never see at family gatherings because they're all hiding away in a room catching up

[rose-vanderan]

The older I get, the more I love, appreciate, understand, and relate to Percy Wealsey

[rose-vanderan]

Hehehe I turned him into a strawberry.

And he looks pissed about it.

[rose-vanderan]

Percy Weasley - born to question, forced to wonder

[rose-vanderan]

Am I reusing stuff?

No because this is the og canvas so it’s not the same

I had some notes and then it turned like this

[rose-vanderan]

You guys know that trend on tt? “What emotions I feel the most?”

I’ve tried it with Percy

This is right after Fred died, so emotions are running high

Spend the whole day trying to figure out the colour palette

[rose-vanderan]

wyd if you’re roaming the halls after curfew and you see these two fine babes (im sorry for typing that out)

[rose-vanderan]

you left me first.

in which bill and percy have a little talk.

-----

"Ahem."

Percy looks up at the familiar voice, his eyes weary and his glasses slipping down his nose.

He blinks.

"Bill?" He sits up a little straighter, leaning back in his chair. Hastily, he runs a hand through his hair and straightens his glasses, trying to look at least slightly presentable and not like he'd been working for 13 hours straight. "Oh- Hello, Bill. You must have missed Dad's office, he's actually-"

Bill cuts him off with a wave of his hand, shaking his head. "I'm not here to see Dad, Percy. I'm here to see you," he says stiffly, taking a seat.

The brothers sit in silence for a few minutes. Were they even brothers anymore? Percy wondered vaguely. He found that the thought didn't hurt now as much as it used to.

That realization actually stung ten times more than the initial thought.

"Do you want some tea?" he asks awkwardly, his hands fidgeting under his desk. "I can make some, if you'd like."

"No, I don't want some tea." Bill snaps, getting up to his feet and putting his hands down on the edge of Percy's desk. He looks like Molly, in some twisted way, with his eyes narrowed and his lips almost curled into a sneer. It almost makes Percy flinch--indeed, he stiffens and his spine straightens--but he doesn't jump back.

Flinching was a sign of weakness, of doubt. He'd trained it out of himself the very first month after Pius Thicknesse had become the Minister.

"What is the matter with you, Percy?" Bill hisses, and for a moment, Percy thinks he may have seen tears in his eyes. A blink, and they were gone the next moment. "You chose the ministry over us, years ago, and you're still here."

He looks away, taking his hands off the desk, and he starts pacing the length of the office. "You missed so much, you know that? The twins created a whole business, Ginny's first boyfriend, Ron had his seventeenth-"

Now, Percy is on his feet. He wasn't sure when that had happened; all he could feel now was the rushing of blood to his ears, the pounding in his head, and the empty ache in his chest he had spent years trying to press down.

"Me?" he asks, staring at Bill with an almost manic look in his eyes. "I missed- of course, everything I missed!" he laughs, a broken sound of surprise. "Then what about everything you missed? My fifteenth? My sixteenth? Ginny being kidnapped and almost murdered by Lord fucking Voldemort? Ron nearly drowning? And that was before- everything!"

Now, it's Bill's turn to be shocked into silence. He stares at his younger brother--the flame, the bright boy who had burned and burned for as long as he'd lived... or so he'd thought. The once bright spark in his eyes was gone now, replaced by cold, hardened steel.

Bill's eyes are still narrowed, and his chest is still heaving, but there is a flicker of confusion behind his gaze now. "Percy, I-"

"No!" Percy nearly yells, suddenly very glad he'd gotten his office soundproofed. "No! You don't get to make excuses now, strutting into my office after everything is over!" He swallows hard, pulling his glasses off and swiping roughly at his eyes with the back of his hand.

"You know the only thing I asked mum and dad for on my fifteenth? I asked if they could get you and Charlie to come home, just for a day," he says bitterly, looking away. "And you know what? I really thought it would happen. I did. But when it comes down to it, you're just like our dad, aren't you?"

"Percy, stop." Bill begs, stepping forward. Suddenly, his hands are on Percy's shoulders, and there are tears in both of their eyes. "Don't say that. Please don't..."

"Why shouldn't I?" he asks, but his voice cracks, and his arms are around Bill before he can tell himself to pull away. Suddenly, he's fifteen years younger; he's a child again, crying to his brother after he'd been hurt. "The only person who came to visit that day was Auntie Muriel."

There's a big difference between a broken family and a scraped knee, he thought bitterly, screwing his eyes shut tight. Why can't everything be as simple as it used to be?

Bill takes a deep, shuddering breath, resting his chin on Percy's shoulder. "You missed my wedding," he says, closing his eyes. "You left us."

Percy shakes his head, his grip tightening on his brother despite his words.

"You left me first."

[rose-vanderan]

my most controversial take

[rose-vanderan]

Wdym Percy Weasley isn't autistic

[rose-vanderan]

That moment when you're trying to remember if the Triwizard Tournament had rules against submitting the names of pets into the possible pool of names to be used for champions but your brain instead decides to remind you that Percy turned one of his bosses into A SEA URCHIN and in doing so potentially committed treason. So now you're just sat there being like "Not what I wanted to remember but Good for him"

📙Percy Weasley📕

Talk about pompous swots, the studious, rule-following, over-achieving type 👓That’s Percy. He will tell the teacher they forgot to assign homework, he will rat you out if you’re breaking rules and then not regret it, because it was the right thing to do. He will also stand up to a bully, protect a younger student. Maybe because the raucous was distracting him from his reading, but does that really matter? He takes action, but mostly because he finds a reason to care 🧐

I think Percy is a great character, he’s well-written. It’s also realistic that he had trouble with his family, from whom he is so different. Percy is the black sheep of the Weasley family. He was bullied by his brothers. Granted, they never meant to truly harm him, but being on the receiving end of pranks and jokes does tire eventually.

I think Percy is very strong. And I think he had a great character arc :) 🌈

It was so fun to draw him, all proper and prim, in contrast to the rest of the family✨✏️
