#italian!barty

[starlittragedies]

i read a fic a long time ago where barty was italian (we love italian barty on this blog !!!) and he gives nicknames to everyone he likes and I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE WITH IT.

he calls regulus tesoro/caro, pandora piccola, evan amore/rosa/fiore, and dorcas dolcezza.

i also think that it pisses his friends’ partners (more specifically james and marlene).

james has always been a little jealous fella but it goes beyond when its barty we’re talking about (its kinda barty’s fault). the bloke can’t stop himself from taunting james by saying things like “i had regulus first” or “did regulus ever tell you about the summer of fourth year?”. so him having a nickname for darling regulus just sets james off more.

but marlene…

oh sweet marlene’s reasons are quite different. she gets irked by it because she DOESN’T have one. when she and dorcas had dated for a good amount of time and she was introduced to the pantheon barty quite liked her. she was funny, always kept it real, and kept his wits about him.

he treated marlene (to some extent as he would say) as a good friend. she would have had her nickname given by now but being as she is considered as a friend by barty crouch jr. it would mean that she had to deal with him being a little menace to her life as all his friends do (a good example of this would be regulus who somehow will always find that one of his socks will be missing its pair). and the form of her little minuscule personal hell served by barty is NOT getting a nickname and just being called “mckinnon” for the rest of her days.

simply love your romanian!barty hc, even if i hc him as latino (nothing to do with the fact i am latina and he is my fav, no no)

anyway, romanian!barty, latino!barty, italian!barty, all of them are gold in my opinion haha

characters are made for projecting on!!! they are clay and fans are sculptors!!!!!!!! i wholeheartedly believe you can do whatever you want with them, i support you every step of the way ✊

for instance, i hc dorcas as colombian most of the time, literally just based on the fact that my wife's colombian and they are one and the same 🤞 similarly, i'm norwegian so i find it easier to view marlene (my fav) as norwegian too, and i think all of those are totally fair. so pop off with your latino!barty!!

i've outlined why i view barty as romanian/think that hc is fun here, but i can also get behind latino!barty. it fits his vibe you know? i can 100% see him arguing in spanish at speed level thousand and then turn around and be all lovely with the "amor"s and "corazón" to you. which country do you think he would be from? i can see colombia, chile and venezuela the most i think, but since i mostly view him as eastern-european, i don't have any hard opinions/preferences there.

i have a harder time picturing him as italian, but i think that is mostly due to the italians i know not matching his vibe whatsoever. and i feel like it's a tad bit too slow/soft for his personality, but certain regions are a bit harsher with their dialects from what i know

thank you for chatting with me lovely, i have many thoughts on these things lmao<33

Dorcas: lying face down in Barty's bed complaining about Marlene

Pandora: lying face down on Evans bed complaining about Emmeline

Regulus: lying face down on his bed whining about James

Evan: *sitting on Barty's lap* gay people amiright

Barty: totally, anyway, mio bello*-

*my beautiful

soooo i've been real busy this past month and change working on this monster of a painting! it was originally for the GO Ref library study club but clearly took much longer than i anticipated😅

for those of you who don't recognize it, this is based on one of my favorite historical paintings, Judith Beheading Holofernes (1620) by Artemisia Gentileschi. i love the Baroque period and this painting (as well as her other works) makes me insane. here it is Good Omens style so maybe all of you can be insane with me <3

"Aziraphale (and Crowley) Beheading the Metatron"

(non-bloody and non-glowy versions under the cut)

Marlene and Barty hcs cause why not

(and because i think their friendship would be amazing and way too chaotic)

• they met because of Dorcas

• at first Marlene was a bit scared of Barty cause he loved to say the most unhinged shit ever and look at Marlene's horrified face

• they listen to maneskin together

• gay and lesbian besties

• they paint their nails together

• "OH MY FUCKING GOD BARTY DORCAS JUST SMILED LOOK" "Marls i'm literally next to you wtf"

• "I'm so gay bro" "same"

• "Oh my god look at Evan's hands I want him to fuck me so bad" "Kill yourself"

• "Barts looks the way they're looking at each other" "Yeah they definitely fucked"

• "you suck" "and swallow"

• they also have matching tattoos

• silver jewellery besties

• "Marls isn't that my t-shirt?" "yeah i thought it was cool so i stole it"

• they fight about quidditch (Barty loves to tease Marlene when Slytherin wins and she gets so worked up about it)

• they're unstoppable together and Dorcas regret her life decisions

• they dye each other hair

• they also do their piercings together

• Barty says something in italian and Marlene answers in polish

barty is a great cook.

like, not only because his mum taught him how to cook (gets even better if you hc him as italian or spanish [or latino, too]), but also because his friends can't cook even if their lives depended on it

regulus is a menace in the kitchen, he once burned a kettle trying to make tea, evan is too lazy to try to learn, pandora was banned from the kitchen after making something (no one really knows what it was) that got them all sick, and dorcas can do the basic, but she likes having barty cook for her

it surprises a lot of people when they learn it that that goth, punk, edgy, slightly off guy with too many piercings and tattoos to count could be the chef of his own restaurant if he wanted to. his specialty is main dishes, he's superb with pasta and meat, but also rocks the desserts

he bonded with james over food, because james is also the cook of his group of friends (he makes the most amazing desi dishes [which i won't go into much detail because honestly it's 3 am and i can't research properly right now])

opposite to what many people think, the skittles rarely order food when they're hanging out together. barty almost always cooks. more than knowing how to, he likes to cook. it's something he shares with his mum, something his father never had any influence over (after all, he was never home during supper)

most of all, barty loves to cook for evan. evan is the type of person who tends to either get into hyperfocus and forgets to eat or has a very bad week and forgets to eat. either way, he doesn't take good care of himself. barty helps by popping up in his house, making him get up from the couch and help him in the kitchen. evan doesn't cook, but he sorts the ingredients out and occasionally chops a tomato (not onions though, he hates how they make him cry). he makes barty company, and they both have slightly better weeks just because of that

so, in the end, barty loves to cook.

rip barty crouch jr you would’ve loved måneskin

[morsmortish]

hear me out. barty as the (italian) frontman and lead singer of a popular rock band (think maneskin). he’s prancing around in ridiculous outfits and pulling stunts like matty healy’s (strangling himself with his own microphone cord, for example). he has many controversial and very public relationships and yet no one is surprised when it’s revealed he’s been fucking his drummer on the downlow for years.

[incorrect-maraudersaandco-quotes]

Barty: due tazze di caffè, per favore

Evan:

Barty: What?

Evan: Since when do you speak Italian?

Barty: My mom is Italian

Evan: Since when?

Barty:

Barty: Since her birth

[desssquicio]

I have no way to explain it, but I just know that Barty would whisper to Regulus every chance he gets “Sei l'amore della mia vita” believing that he doesn't understand it. But Regulus learned Italian to talk to Barty, and he always understands him when he says that, only he gets so nervous that he doesn't know how to respond.

[stargazingtranquility]

Harry knows a lot of languages, in theory, but he’s only fluent in English like;

He can completely understands Punjabi because that’s the Potters’ native language but he can’t quite grasp speaking it. He picks up French terms of endearments/cuss words from Regulus and Sirius. He knows welsh cuss words as well as philosophical translations because of Remus. He can playfully imitate Italian pick up lines because of Barty. He knows to hide when he hears Swahili because Dorcas only reverts back to it when she’s completely pissed at someone. But everyone around him speaks English the majority of the time, so that’s what he speaks.

Then he gets to Hogwarts and meets Draco Malfoy who can hold a conversation in just about any language someone speaks to him in and fuck, Harry never thought that French was romantic. He’s never seen Punjabi as alluring before. He didn’t consider Italian as attractive.

He spends the summer begging members of his family to teach him more of their languages so he can go back and prove to Draco that he is stupid in more than one language.

[saturnsconstellation]

I headcanon Barty as Italian, so he can’t pronounce the “th” sound because in Italy that just doesn’t exist.

Barty *visibly mad*: Evan! Where is te…

Evan *struggling not to laugh*: te?

Barty: yes! te towel! Where is it?

Evan *wheezing*: te?! Don’t you mean ‘the’?

Barty: ahhhh che cazzo! Yes! Te! Now where is-!?

Evan: *fully cackling on the floor*

BARTY CROUCH JR. KNOWS HOW TO COOK

Barty is Italian he grew up in Italy as kid and moved when he was 11 to go to Hogwarts.

BUT when he was in Italy his mother taught him how to cook

When is mom died (or left) he continued learning how to cook and enjoying it

I feel like it’s a secret talent of his, like nobody knows that he can cook until somebody (maybe Evan or Pandora idk) fucks up real bad trying to cook and Barty comes over a fixes it and everyone’s all surprised that it actually tastes good and isn’t lit on fire
