#also partially believe druella and cygnus believe andromeda's rebellion was bellatrix's fault

[elysianymph]

i just saw ur bellatrix post and yess to all of that esp the “she was the first disappointment” line like i literally have a post about her in my drafts that says just that bc that’s what she always would be to druella, she was the first one and after her everything went wrong for druella

as always ur brain is simply <3333

ik we talked about walburga sirius and regulus but i think we might've touched on the black sisters and said something along these lines too??? or maybe i'm going crazy idk

but yeah bellatrix was like the omen of what was to come. eldest daughter, first disappointment and — to cygnus' horror — a mini walburga.

bellatrix acted like an heir during her childhood, much like walburga and sirius, but she was criticized for it like her aunt because she was a woman. she doesn't need to act like that, her job is to stay quiet and wait for some older, rich pureblood to ask for her hand in marriage. bellatrix wasn't meant for a life like that and her deteriorating mental state was enough proof of that
