[ourtalechara]

I, suddenly, and for no reason at all, felt compelled to finish and upload all my angsty Blaise sketches

Also bonus non-angst

[rabidkoalasinmybloodstream]

okay, so. currently i’m, like, really obsessed with the golden era slytherins? so, HEADCANONS!

theo has adhd

draco is trans (ftm)

daphne is trans (mtf)

pansy is a lesbian

theo is bisexual

blaise is gay and greysexual

draco is panromantic ace

also blaise and draco must be dating. they must be in love. they must be soulmates. i love them together

draco is, like, always cold, and blaise tends to run a little bit warm, thus: lots of cuddling and handholding

daphne is aroace

they are TALL.

like, really tall.

daphne is 6’3, blaise is 6’4, theo is 6’1.5, and pansy is 6’2

draco, unfortunately, stands at 5’10 (which, like, isn’t even very short at all) and the others tease him mercilessly for it

okay, so i have a lot of really in-depth thoughts and headcanons about all of their childhoods, but i headcanon that theo, blaise, pansy and draco were friends since they were literally born, and they met daphne and tori (astoria) in their second year at hogwarts (and tori’s first)

when they were kids, draco and theo took classical ballroom dancing lessons together and did competitions and stuff, and draco also did ballet (because everyone in the black family was forced into ballet fight me on this) so sometimes draco and theo just, like, spontaneously burst into dance??? like, really intense, fast waltzing and fancy twirling and whatnot???

OKAY. so, blaise’s mother. i’ve seen many different names given to blaise’s mom, (like beth and maria are pretty common i think?) but i always thought of her as a gina. she just feels like a gina. and, like, even though she’s a little bit… uh… intense, with the whole killing-seven-men shebang, but she’s cool. everyone loves her. blaise’s house is the top-rated sleepover house.

pansy has three older brothers and her mom’s name is juno

all of them are pretty good singers, but draco and tori??? hoLy SHit. they are SPECTACULAR. they’re so damn good at singing, it’s not even describable. those bitches have ineffably melodious voices. it’s like kind of annoying how good they are

draco has some veela in him. fight me on this. draco is AT LEAST 25% veela. AT LEAST.

DRACO’S FIRST LANGUAGE IS FRENCH AND IN FIRST AND SECOND YEAR HIS ACCENT WAS SO HEAVY BLAISE AND PANSY AND THEO WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO COULD UNDERSTAND HIM WHEN HE SPOKE ENGLISH AND SINCE HE’S A BLACK DRACO SPEAKS LIKE AT LEAST SEVEN LANGUAGES FLUENTLY BUT HE TOTALLY SUCKS AT ENGLISH AT FIRST DRACO IS SO FRENCH OMG I AM OBSESSED WITH FRENCH DRACO

blaise also speaks many languages; like english, french, italian, and like latin??? idk.

pansy speaks english and french

theo speaks english, french, and spanish

tori isn’t very tall. she’s like 5’5, but no one makes fun of her for it, which drives draco insane because “she’s literally FIVE inches shorter than me, why don’t you make fun of her???” “‘cause she doesn’t care. you’re getting all mad and pouting.” “*while pouting* i don’t pout.”

draco has a very tiny nose. so does daphne. they’re noses are so incredibly tiny and dainty? like how is this even possible??? how are they so small?????

DRACO CAN DRAW. REALLY WELL. HE CAN ALSO WRITE. FUCK WITH ME.

daphne really, really likes those 50cm grape japanese candy things?? (these)

daphne gets really quiet and judgemental-looking (EVEN THOUGH SHES NOT JUDGING ANYONE THATS JUST HOW HER FACE LOOKS) in public, and gets all mean, but with her friends she’s just like so nice and funny

pansy wears cargo pants with tights tops really often

pansy and theo wear (and share) leather jackets VERY often

ASTORIA GREENGRASS AND GINEVRA WEASLEY ARE REALLY CLOSE FRIENDS AND YOU WILL NEVER CONVINCE ME OTHERWISE

theo does muggle magic. like, illusionist stuff, and he’s really good at it. like, weirdly good. it drives everyone insane. and like i bet he does it at really weird times, too. like: “oh my god, why are you crying?? what’s wrong?” “oh, nothing i just read flowers for algernon again.” “oh. well… *whips out deck of cards* …wanna see a card trick?”

theo is really protective. would stab someone who mildly insulted someone he cares about

pansy is jewish

draco and pansy have a lot of tattoos. like a shit ton of tattoos. they are very tatted-up

for some reason i headcanon them all getting into muggle musicals sometime after the war?? like mary poppins and the wizard of oz and hamilton and stuff??? idk. i want them to like musicals, especially old ones.

on the topic of muggle things: draco reads a lot, especially muggle books.

okay, so in this one fanfic i read (i read this fic a WHILE ago, and i forget the name and also what it was about??? but i don’t remember what it is and i’m sorry) blaise called draco “honeybee” AND I THINK THAT SCORPIUS IS LIKE REALLY CLUMSY AND SO BLAISE CALLS DRACO HONEYBEE AND SCORPIUS BUMBLE

LIKE NOT BUMBLEBEE, JUSY BUMBLE

GET IT

LIKE HOW BUMBLE SOUNDS LIKE THE ACT OF DOING SOMETHING CLUMSILY????

DRACO AND LUNA ARE COUSINS. PANDORA AND LUCIUS WERE SIBLINGS.

pansy usually has really heavy makeup on. like, make sure you don’t stand at a 45° angle from her face because you will get blinded by her highlighter

draco is a vegetarian (so is scorpius, by choice)

daphne is like always so dressed up?? like she’s wearing fancy cocktail dresses and five inch heels to, like, check the mail. idk. she’s always dressed up.

pansy LOVES doing impressions, and she’s good at them. (especially unflattering impressions)

blaise is really good at rubik’s cubes. like, he’s one of those people who can solve them blindfolded in six seconds and stuff.

and that’s all for now! to follow all of that, some side notes:

a). these are just my opinions

b). feel free to add more!!

c). maybe i’ll add more of mine some time?? (specifically more about astoria, i didn’t write very much about her)
