#daddy cygnus

[motherfuckingmaneater]

bellatrix: daddy can you pass the salt? rodolphus, orion and cygnus: *all reaching for the salt at the same time* voldemort: *flicking his finger at the salt to send it to her without looking up from his meal and without a word.*

bellatrix: . . . bellatrix: thank you

[motherfuckingmaneater]

Cygnus: I hate it here.

Narcissa: I’m gonna tell a dad joke-

Bella: your dad is a joke

Narcissa: at least I have a dad

Andy: we’ve got the same dad

Narcissa & Bella: no, you’re adopted

[catinthemoonlightwrites]

In a modern world AU Bellatrix and her father are that daughter-father duo that go out for a run at 6am, and he tries to live some of his failed athletic dreams through her

[capriddle]

Bellatrix has daddy issues. Yes, not in the classic sense of the word but for me yes. I never imagined her with a very close bond with her father, on the contrary I always imagined them arguing often. Voldemort was the first real role model of a man in her life, someone to admire and respect, the crime is history.

[wisteria-lodge]

What do you think of Bellatrix? Would you have liked to explore more dynamics about her?

I *love* unpacking sibling dynamics and toxic relationships, so of course I find Bellatrix fascinating. (Also "Bellatrix Lestrange" might be my favorite name in a series full of very good names. 10/10.)

To me, what's key about Bellatrix is that she's the oldest of the three Black sisters. She could have been written as the indulged, attention-seeking bratty baby... but that would be a less interesting character.

Growing up, I think Narcissa was probably the quiet, passive child. That's her strategy when Voldemort shows up and she's once again living with a powerful, unstable authority figure. (I mean we have no info about what Cygnus Black was like, but he's Walburga Black's younger brother, and I imagine they probably enforced each other's extremism and intensity after their brother got blasted off the tapestry.) Narcissa's strategy is fade to the background, don't react, don't let them see what you're thinking, let them ignore you.

(I also think it's very believable that she went subtly went low contact with the Blacks after she married Lucius. The Malfoys have *always* been much more squeamish about violence, and much more politically moderate. I think Narcissa likes that.)

Andromeda you can take in a couple of different directions, but she was probably the problem child/scapegoat. And if she wasn't before she married Ted, she DEFINITELY was after. She also looks so much like Bellatrix that Harry does a double take, which I think... would have really bugged Bellatrix growing up, and informed their dynamic. Bellatrix sees herself as SO exceptional that she wouldn't want to be compared to anyone... but if she were, then it would be important that any casual comparisons come out in HER favor. (Which can't have been fun for Andromeda.) It's interesting that Voldemort underlines the connection between the two sisters as a way to get under Bellatrix's skin, and it works *really* well. She's got a competitive streak.

Because Bellatrix would have 100% grown up the *Golden Child.* Powerful, driven, beautiful in a striking way. The Daddy's Girl energy is off the charts (and she was probably Aunt Walburga's favorite too.) Bellatrix is described as acting like a queen, which is exactly how she sees herself. She grew up in an echo chamber not only telling her that people like her were special and better... but that she was the most Special one within the Special group.

So she meets Lord Voldemort. He's beautiful, driven, brilliant, power levels off the charts. He's Grindelwald born again (but straight) (probably.) He's not just the Dark Lord, he's a King. He wants to rule the world as an immortal god-king. He tells Bellatrix that this is going to happen, and she believes him.

And like - of course she's into that. But also, seeing yourself as a temporarily embarrassed Immortal Goddess Empress requires such a specific self-concept. You are going to need a delusionally high opinion of yourself... but also enough talent/power/beauty/external validation to carry that idea into adulthood.

(also Rodolphus... he doesn't count. Good Marriage was just another box to check as a young woman so Bellatrix could remain Perfect. The rules are different if you're a Immortal Goddess Empress anyway. Any consort she had would be so far below her own power level, or the power level of her King, that he literally would not matter. But she's not going to have a *kid* with Rodolphus. She's Voldemort's favorite, Rodolphus is not good enough. You sire PRINCES with the KING.)

Voldemort of course would know all this. And we see him have so much fun finding ways to creatively torture Lucius. He's a sadist in general sure, but there's something specifically about bringing pureblood royalty low that he gets REALLY into. He *likes* bringing up the werewolf nephew-in-law and and watching Bellatrix scramble desperately for ground, crying, while the rest of the Death Eaters point and laugh. Until he tells them to cut it out, because he's the only one with enough power to do that.

And then Bellatrix goes back to her room and probably constructs a whole narrative about how that was actually Voldemort protecting her, because she's the most Special, and it's all in good fun really. Because the alternative is having to admit that she's not extraordinary, she's just a punching bag (like Lucius Malfoy.) This is where a lot of her anger and instability come from. Every time she's in a situation where someone else is doing something *more* or *better* ... she lashes out.

In the main timeline of the books this mainly shows up in her dynamic with the other Death Eaters (and Narcissa.) Bellatrix tries to give orders in Malfoy Manor and I am sure it really annoys her that Voldemort is using Lucius' house as his HQ. That isn't how it's supposed to go! We even get the fun detail that Dumbledore thinks Bellatrix is going to try really hard to get into Grimmauld place - and of course she does, she wants to volunteer the better HQ. Narcissa is sacrificing Draco for the Dark Lord? Well, Bellatrix would have five sons (hypothetically) and sacrifice them all (happily.) She tries to shift the blame for Department of Mysteries thing 100% onto Lucius, and gets really defensive when Snape implies that he has more emotional intimacy with Voldemort than she does.

But she's still really, really useful, and Voldemort knows this. She is talented, and powerful, and his best enforcer. So he would have so much fun dangling that carrot just out of reach, forever. The prophecy makes such a big deal about Voldemort marking Harry "as his equal," because that's just not a thing he does. BELLATRIX certainly isn't his equal.

(dumbledore though... we can maybe revisit.)

[siriusblackdevotee]

hmm Sirius's shit father Orion, gives birth to his daddy issues, so now he's seeking validation from older men, Cygnus isn't those men because he hates Sirius for snatching the heir title, however, Alphard...who is always nice to him, literally the first to give him gold, u could say he's Sirius's sugar daddy....hmmm

[just-dance-incorrect-quotes]

Young Jack: *crying* daddy! Mommy called me the B word!

Cygnus: Leda, did you call Jack the B word?

Night Swan: “Motherfucker” doesn’t start with a B

[mrstellmeafuckingsecret]

...talk about Narcissas and Sirius's dynamic pls

they have the most sibling relationship out of all of the cousins (yes, even the actual siblings). they fight constantly over actually, literally, everything and pull each other's hair and narcissa screams and cries to daddy and sirius screams and cries to mommy and cygnus and walburga have beef because their kids have beef. they have the shortest tempers and they're perfectionists and want things done fast and want to be in complete control so whenever theres some sort of party or event theyre kept as far away from each other as possible. doomed yuri & doomed yaoi solidarity. massive egos, even by pureblood standards. narcissa greets sirius by slapping him in the face and is very very pissed off when sirius grows too tall for her to catch him by surprise. sirius fucks lucius and narcissa fucks james. in an au where she was less of a bitch, she could've freed him and become a good person.

[vulcajes]

Bella headcanons 🙏🙏🙏

VERY tall. Like... 6'1" she is a tall girly

Manipulated/controlled Sirius in their youth because she wanted to be heir (the closest she could get to being heir was through controlling him)

Forced to do ballet as a kid but used it to hone her strength and flexibility

Excelled in dada and history of magic, even though she didn't care for hom and she only cared about dada for learning dark arts from it

Very like her father and they had similar coping mechanism (violent and abusive but also alcoholic sex pests)

She chose to marry Rodolphus but her family pushed her to get married in the first place

HATED her mother. Despised her and blamed her for everything (much like Cygnus, I fear)

Thought she was very sweet and caring with her sisters but in reality she treated them awfully too

Extremely competitive and a sore loser but she can respect when someone rises to the challenge

Joined Voldemort because she wanted to gain power/control which he gave her an opportunity for

As much as she had the image of a leader, she was absolutely a follower and could be naive if she trusted someone

Always tried to please her father/be a daddy's girl but could never live up to him

Had a lot of plants but they always died under her care

Never wanted kids and would rather die than be pregnant (the idea of losing control of her body terrified her)

[motherfuckingmaneater]

Cygnus Black and Orion Black sexy as fuck but still not as sexy as Walburga Black

[grimst4rs]

may i kindly request ur narcissa hcs 🧎

narcissa looks almost exactly like druella (very pale, blonde, pointy facial features) which is why she’s her mother’s favourite

however, she’s a daddy’s girl through and through; she and cygnus were always extremely close, and he felt the need to protect her, being the youngest daughter)

she was always closer with regulus than with her sisters; she emphasised with being the spare, with being the least important in her family. needless to say, her least favourite member of the family was sirius

the most extravagant of her sisters; she always wants the brightest and most expensive jewellery and robes, the most expensive clothes and accessories (cygnus obliges; anything for his youngest daughter)

she is also the most arrogant and full of herself, however she can be quite pleasant to be around when she likes the person she has to engage with

prefers pearls and silver to gold

her marriage with lucius was arranged, however, she and him really loved each other and cared for each other. narcissa had a small infatuation for him, that blossomed into actually liking him

after she got married, despite the fact that she was proud to be a member of the malfoy family, she continued wearing her black family heirloom necklace

wore stockings with her uniform, and her style, besides her dresses and robes, would be described as the old-school preppy

her nails are always carefully manicured, and she’s very well-kept

played with dolls as a child, and often decapitated them

[metalomagnetic]

If Voldemort had to rate all the Blacks out of 10 on how Bangable they are, how’d he rank em?

Bella, Sirius- 10/10 It's not just that they are So Hot, but he also likes their tempers. Wild, fun, dangerous night guaranteed. He'll need a stamina potion or something to keep up with them.

Andromeda- 8/10 She looks enough like Bella that she'd rank high just for it.

Regulus- 8/10- He looks enough like Sirius that he'd rank high just for it.

Narcissa- 0/10. She's breathtakingly beautiful, but he'll shrivel up under her icy, judgemental stare. Besides, he thinks she's too proper and calm for a romp in the sheets with him, but also vaguely intimidating. She'd give him performance anxiety.

Walburga and Orion- 10/10 if they don't speak during it.

If they speak, Orion probably 7/10, Walburga 0/10 (If he gets to kill Walburga during it, then 100000/10).

Alphard and Cygnus- 5/10. They'll do for a night.

Arcturus- usually 0/10, but if Voldemort is having a very bad day, with low self esteem and big Daddy issues, probably a 5/10.

Draco- 7/10. He'd love to terrify him and corrupt him, and also he could play into Draco's Daddy issues. Not only does Draco have some of those Hot Black Features, but he also has some Hot Abraxas Features, and it would remind Voldemort of his Hogwarts days, when he definitely banged Abraxas.

Now I live in fear of what Voldemort would do to me if he knows I whore him around so much!

Here to provide some prongsfoot brain fodder!

So I know you like murder and a good Wendy AU and I just saw a theatre show about some horses girlies that ended in double murder, so what if Sirius and James are world class riders (dressage? Show jumping? Military?), both hailing from a long tradition of horsemanship, but while James and his family believe in working on the horses' terms, the Black family are notorious for their cruel methods, to horses and competitors alike. James teaches Sirius about The Other Way and as their (secret) relationship grows and Sirius becomes disillusioned with the ways of his family, they realise that the only way to put an end to the cruelty is to get rid of Orion and Cygnus. And really, stables are such a fire hazard....

Remus could be there too - maybe he works at the Black stables 60+ hours a week in exchange for keeping his horse there - a horse with no fancy pedigree, but together, they win a surprising amount of competitions (at least when Remus isn't sick and Orion isn't forcing him to work to keep him out).

And maybe Peter has a really fancy horse that his parents bought him, and they drive him hard because "Pettigrews are horse people", but Peter secretly hates horses (and horses hate him), has no talent for riding, and is overall miserable, but too afraid to stand up to his parents. The only thing that keeps him from hating the experience completely is the friendship he makes with the other three.

Oh, and Bellatrix is of course Sirius's and James's biggest competitor, and she gets on the cover of all the magazines, even gets a modelling deal - the world loves her - but her horses all go insane in the end and she has no qualms sending them to the slaughter house as her daddy has already bought her the next one.

Oh, oh, and Sirius's horse is a black stallion named Agamemnon. And Snuffles, the stray mutt who is good at catching rats, is his best friend besides James 💕

Sorry, this got long and complicated - do with it what you want 😅

Oh, oh, oh I LOVE THIS!

Okay listen, I am all for arson in the stable however you need to get the horses out of there first and do so inconspicuously. Which might be hard depending on the setup of the stable and how many horses you have inside. Also I kind of imagine the Black's to be lk too good to set foot into the stables themselves. They wait out front for the stable boy to bring them their saddled horses.

But I really like the idea of the fire 😊 maybe something else could burn 🤔 Orrr - you know these round thingies that look like a giant revolving door that make the horses run in circles? I hate these and they get really really fast and dangerous. So. What if Orion and Cygnus end up in one of these 😊 By accident. Noone knows how. Very tragic when they find their mangled bodies in the morning 😊

Anyways, however the murder commences, I love it but you know what I love even more?

There's this saying in Germany to call a loyal reliable person someone "Zum Pferde stehlen" (someone to steal a horse with). So I really like the idea of James and Sirius just taking their horses and fucking off. They live on the road and hide in the woods. They keep off the big roads and only ride small hidden paths. Eventually they might get caught. But they might not! Who knows! These boys are smart! And Peter and Remus are there to cover their traces!

Also absolutely love Peter being forced to ride hahaha that's so funny and fitting and Remus with his kind of knobby looking but very able horse that he loves very much!

Amazing, I am here for it! I see the vision!!
