#her repeatedly screaming i thought that’s what you wanted broke my heart actually

[telestorm]

is drolta evil? yes! did that stop me from bawling my eyes out when she met sekhmet? no! the inherent tragedy of pledging your entire life to someone and doing everything in their name, not realizing how your faith has blinded and warped you, only for the objective of your belief to denounce you? hell yeah i cried

merry chrisis lovely ♥️♥️

2-4 songs that are probably on their iPod

I don’t think canon Walburga would listen to any music other than magical specific classical music, or maybe some Christian hymns. In a muggle AU though, I think her playlist would be similar to both my gran’s: something like Two Of A Kind by Roy Orbinson, I Won’t Forget You by Jim Reeves, most 50s songs sung by Doris Day like Que Sera Sera

The one place they sometimes end up falling asleep — where they’re not supposed to

On the sofa in her favourite sitting room, where she contemplates how one best murders people and tries to think of ways on how to drag Sirius back into the house and the family (she draws blanks a lot on that for…. some reason…)

the game they’d destroy everyone else at

She’s surprisingly good (excellent) at Exploding Snap. She’s decent at bridge too and always wins.

the emoticon they’d use most often

Walburga Irma Black does not use emoticons. But if she did it’s this one: 💔. She sends it to Sirius because he ‘broke her heart’ (he ignores it until he blocks her)

what they act like when they haven’t had enough sleep

Horrific. Really short fuse, unimaginably grumpy. The smallest things make her snap (like Regulus slurping his tea). There’s a reason she and Orion rarely share a bed (he snores and she has to sleep under Perfect Conditions). Sirius actually ran off after Walburga hadn’t had enough sleep because Orion slept next to her that night.

their preferred hot beverage on really cold nights/mornings/whenever

Irish coffee. Sometimes without the coffee. Preferably without the coffee.

how they like to comfort/care for themselves when they’re in a slump

Screaming really loudly into a pillow but without the pillow. Plotting murder. Gossiping with Lucretia. Antagonising Orion into paying attention to her. Also embroidery (she likes to imagine that the cloth she’s stabbing repeatedly with needles is her enemy-of-the-week’s face)

what they wanted to be when they grew up

A healer or a Potions Mistress, but she had to get married so she gave those dreams up. I think she would’ve been a good healer, despite the chance of horrible bedside manner.

their favourite kind of weather

A rainstorm, but only if she’s inside (she finds the sound of rain and thunder soothing). If she’s outside, a misty, cold morning.

thoughts on their singing voice

Beautiful, if a bit pitchy. Quite low for a woman. She refuses to sing the moment she’s married because her parents always wanted her to do so at all family functions against her will. Even if Orion wants her to (he used to dream about it).

how/what they like to draw or doodle

Walburga Irma Black does not DOODLE. But she used to doodle tiny cartoon Orions promising to follow her to the ends of the earth and swearing eternal loyalty to her.
