#French black family

[wafflinglumos]

“Jam you can’t just make the Black family French because you want to” WHO’S going to stop me?? Hm?? Who’s going to stop me?? All those mfs are FRENCH, they were going to go to Beauxbaton even

You can pry French baguette eating ancient house of Black out of my cold dead hands

I randomly remembered about admiral born in Germany who ditched Germany and come to Poland and it's navy. When he got cought by Germans during WWII, they tried to win him over to their side. Józef (I think that was his name...), however, declared that "1 September he forgot how to speak German". He remembered the language, of course, but during his imprisonment he spoke only in French (I think), and would insist on having a translator present if he was spoken to in German. Call it trolling

Basically I think that Sanji should do it with Vinsmokes. Just to be a petty little shit

like

Sanji on Sunny: *speaking to himself fluently and cursing flowery in French/whatever language we decide Germa 66 commonly speaks* *Time skip to Germa 66*: Ichiji: Bon retour parmi nous, mon frère. Sanji: *In East Blue common language* The fuck you're sayin'? Ichiji: De quoi parlez-vous ? Parlez-moi dans votre langue maternelle. Sanji: No idea what you're sayin'. I'm afraid I don't remember language anymore, too bad. Ichiji: ...

honestly, being half French is the best skill I have, because when I'm reading a wolfstar or jegulus fanfic and they start yapping in French I can read it, even if it isn't in the end notes. it's like having an extra treasure trove of knowledge that other readers don't have and it's the most fun thing. except when they start talking dirty. then I am scared.

Trans regulus is 100% real to me but Walburga black with a daughter is a bone chilling thought.

Walburga was a definitely the sort of mother was incredibly picky with her ’daughter’s’ appearance. She was always quick to point out how regulus was ‘too skinny, your bones are showing’ or ‘could stand to loose some weight’ and like purposefully take food off of regulus’ plate to snidely make the point he was ‘being a pig’ when either his table manners weren’t absolutely perfect or he simply had ‘too much’ on his plate. She made sure to remind him every chance she could that his eyes were too slim and his lips too full and his stature too small to meet textbook European beauty standards AND his hair was too curly and his skin had too many moles and his nose was too big to meet textbook Asian beauty standards as well. There was always something to call out regulus for not paying attention to, something to justify being called a slob or careless. A hair couldn’t be out of place, posture had to be perfectly straight, clothing had to be precisely tucked, or Walburga would notice and make it a big deal. Even if he did everything right, she would mention something he couldn’t change. Even if he did change something, like got a nose job or something, she would still ask why he hasn’t gone smaller. Nothing he did could be enough and there was never a time that she ever looked at her ‘daughter‘ and called ‘her’ beautiful or even nice.

So even though regulus knows from other people he’s attractive, he’s aware that people let him get away with things because they find him pretty, he’ll never really believe them. There’s always something to fix, something he’s doing wrong. Anyone who doesn’t see that is stupid and naive. And he’s neither, so he does.

Laurel French @ The SVMH Headquarters 🖤

After countless late nights and coffee-fueled strategy sessions, Laurel finally met with the rest of the SVMH board to provide project updates for the Tartosa hotel project. For Laurel, this isn't just a job – it's a chance to make her mark and prove that she's more than just the boss's daughter. Thankfully, everyone was super impressed by her presentation, especially the exclusive members' club opportunity she suggested for their most loyal SVMH customers.

Ok imagine Regulus, growing up in this traditional , still stuck in the victorian era house learning about the language of flowers and what each one symbolize and making James a bouquet made of

Cherry blossom or Foxglove - Insincerity Scarlet Auricula- Avarice Turk’s Cap - Haterd and Oleander- “Beware”

and James is just Like “REGULUS GAVE ME FLOWERS!”

Sirius not knowing how to tell him too

[I took the flower language things from here ]

the black family is so pretty because they have aquiline noses, curly hair, and a whole lot of eyebrows. any other interpretation is wrong.

[lijeuxs]

me when i remember the black family isn't canonically french

[silverameco]

as a french person i feel like it's my duty to make Sirius and Regulus speak french in my fic

except i have a problem : my own language cringes me😭

[mrsfrecklesmarauders]

Sirius was born in England, London, in the Blacks' city Mansion. Grimmauld Place in early november: late autumn.

Regulus was born in France, Outside Paris, in their The Blacks' Manor in the country side Marbre Noir in late June: early in the summer.

if I don't add in the fact that Regulus has at least a slight French accent in my fics just assume I've been possessed or hacked or smth

I love Chinese Reggie but he's so ingrained into my head a little French bitch like everything I've written he's French and I feel bad bc now I want to change it bc the more you talk Abt it the more I love it

who says he needs to be one or the other? even some of my own family, they moved to vietnam from china due to war, then vietnam to france due to more war…even without having to come up with an explanation for it, who says that an ethnically chinese person cannot also have other nationalities or heritage??! the house of black can be chinese AND french if you so wish it, and it’s not even unrealistic.

Since Hazbin Hotel popped off, I've seen a few times people asserting that there is something racist about Alastor's backstory, given that he is canonically a Creole from New Orleans, but his demon form does not have any overt indicators of his being a person of color

So here's a gentle reminder and clarification, as a Louisiana Creole myself;

"Louisiana Creoles (French: Créoles de la Louisiane, Louisiana Creole: Moun Kréyòl la Lwizyàn, Spanish: Criollos de Luisiana) are a Louisiana French ethnic group descended from the inhabitants of colonial Louisiana before it became a part of the United States during the period of both French and Spanish rule. They share cultural ties such as the traditional use of the French, Spanish, and Creole languages and predominant practice of Catholicism. Some mistakenly think the term is a racial designation, while in fact people of European, of African, and of mixed ancestry have all been termed "Creole" since the 18th century." (x, emphasis mine)

Please pay special attention to the last sentence. While many, probably most, Louisiana Creoles are of mixed-race ancestry, not all are. I'm not saying there aren't valid critiques of Alastor as a character, this just isn't one of them

[jewishregulus]

i think about priest!james and devout!regulus becuase james saying “fuck you calling me father like it doesn’t turn you on to say it” to regulus would be insane

listen i respect this but my very last post was about how my regulus is jewish as fuck so unfortunately this is not the one for me . who can i pass this along to . somebody else handle this

on this note i am anxiously waiting for the first piece of media to attempt to sexualize rabbis the way priests are…. somebody’s gotta bite

I would love to write a marauders fic of the Black family always speaking French at home so Sirius and Regulus grew up speaking mostly in French but of course they speak English at Hogwarts- except when Regulus comes along he just doesn’t, he speaks exclusively in French and it gets to the point where everyone including Sirius is questioning if he even knows English because Sirius was required to know how to speak in both French and English and their education should’ve been the same right? But now that he’s thinking about it whenever they went to dinner parties as kids and everyone was speaking English he can’t remember Regulus ever saying anything… Sirius really starts to question if he was just taught English because he was the heir and they didn’t bother with Regulus because he wasn’t meant to really do anything and they decided teaching Sirius was hard enough. In reality Regulus is perfectly capable of both understanding and speaking English he just doesn’t want to. As a child he was too shy to say anything and by the time he got to Hogwarts he’s too jaded to have any desire to speak to anyone so he spends his first days speaking exclusively in French and when a rumor starts that he doesn’t understand English he just runs with it (and also uses it as an eavesdropping opportunity since people talk pretty freely around him thinking that he doesn’t know what they’re saying), even the teachers believe it and teach him a spell that translates spoken and written words (something like that has to exist in the wizard uhh world) so that he can understand the lectures. They don’t know that once they stop casting it for him he actually never uses it because he doesn’t need it

Anyway all that to say I would love to write it but I will not be doing that because I took one year of high school French and retained absolutely none of it so that would be embarrassing for me to personally attempt but if any French-speaking or simply bolder individuals than me want to steal this idea I greatly encourage it and only request that you tag me in it because I want to read it
