fully believe sirius hated the nickname Siri for a number of reasons starting with ‘it sounds ridiculous’ and ending with ‘Reg used to call him that when they were kids’ and that’s why James always went for Si instead.

except, except no one accounted for tiny bite sized harry james potter wrapping his entire hand around Sirius’ pinky, going ‘Siwi, Siwi, Siwi, pway?’ and stealing his entire heart and soul in one fell swoop.

why was he ever even opposed to it anyway?

sirius style moodboard/inspo

I was asked by an anon to do little moodboards for marauders era characters- ive previously done petunia and lily. some notes below!

Notes: firstly, I think Sirius would have adapted quite well to dressing like a Muggle, and would have preferred that to wearing robes, deliberately opting for Muggle clothing when his parents specifically asked him to dress in wizarding garb for dinner or other occasions. His style would have been pretty casual and careless, mostly just tees, open-collar shirts, and jeans/tight-fitting trousers, a lot of it probably found in charity shops and jumble sales once he moved into his own flat, but because it's Sirius his clothing would somehow have come together with that effortless rockstar quality to it anyway. He might have added some accessories like the bandana neckties or the necklaces in some of the photos above, but still in a very cool, casual, kind of grungy way.

Imo Sirius mostly would have worn dark clothing but wouldn't have minded some colour also, simply because he didn't give his clothing much thought-- I do fall on the "Sirius probably had a leather jacket" side of things but it was probably just one, and it was probably fairly weathered and crusty lol. The thing that defines Sirius is that he looks good when he isn't even trying, and that definitely comes through in his clothing as well.

Obviously all of the people in these photos are famous musicians from the time-- I don't think he'd dress quite as radically as Marc Bolan or the Stones are famous for doing onstage etc, but in many photos they share a certain air imo.

you can't tell me sirius was so dramatic and acted like he was leaving the earth when he had to leave james for 0.00001 secs and whenever this happens, remus and regulus wonder if james and sirius are dating each other instead of them

[resident-gay-bitch]

little rich boy sirius who gets disowned and can barely survive without his expensive brands and the basic human need to eat at least once a day meeting the entirely too generous james potter who just falls for the vanity and sincerity of the reformed rich boy and decides that once sirius stops caring about brands and status and rich boy things and just cares about what matters in life he decides to spoil his boyfriend to pieces because he’s secretly sitting on a fucking fortune

[m00neroni]

I personally, as a wolfstar shipper, enjoy very much the angst of sirius not thinking about escaping azkaban for nor going to remus after. or remus simply giving up and not trying. like, I know it's a common point thrown against the ship but for me it adds a good flavour. especially if they start dating again after POA/during lie low at lupin's

[atlasdoe]

this may be a controversial opinion but I would've preferred Greyback to have killed Remus then Dolohov

OC-tober (late) Day 7: Personality

Guess who finally watched ATLA

[calamitoustide]

does anyone know that one good mythical morning clip where Link says he'll give something to "one of his significant others" making everyone go quiet before he says he means his daughter. yeah that's james btw

i think it's worth interrogating why, for some, "thinness" is associated with gender affirmation and niceness. i think it's worth interrogating why, for some, being bigger is associated with agression and ugliness. i think, if your first impulse to someone suggesting a character be depicted in a larger body is, "fuck you ewww how dare you," that maybe just maybe, you might have a few biases that you need to unpack. this is not saying that artists can't draw what they like, this isn't saying people can't headcanon what they like, but i wish people would think a bit deeper about why they view thinness as so desirable, and fatness as such an affront.

THIS IS MAKING ME SICK

KURO SELF-PERCEIVING NOT BEING IN BAKU 1 STORY MODE AS GETTING THIRD-WHEELED i have to draw this later

[padfootastic]

dear miss padfootastic: harry learning he's gonna be a dad and promptly losing his mind and going to the only person he can think of for dad advice: sirius.

gosh miss imp i have so many thoughts about this!!!!!! (i wrote almost all of this and realised that i did it post birth lol bc that’s the moment that made the most sense to me but we can easily doctor it to be pre birth as well!!)

- the first time harry holds james sirius in his hands, he has to dip out in three minutes flat to puke all over the nearest washroom. it’s sirius holding him, brushing his hair back, and soothing him on the dirty hospital floor. tells him that he did something super similar when he held harry for the first time too. it doesn’t hit harry then.

- when they’re all back at home, the first few days, it’s all a sort of frantic autopilot where he has no time to think. it’s only when things calm down a bit that he realised how his hands shake and his pulse races when he thinks about being a father. it’s not…debilitating bc it’s his duty, one he asked for, and harry’s never been one to back down from a duty. but it’s still—he doesn’t want to be a passable dad, he wants to be a good one.

- so he goes to the best one he knows: sirius.

- the thing here is, harry thinks he’s gonna be a terrible dad. he was abused and neglected in his most developmental stages of life, never really knew what unconditional love felt like let alone parental, and does not trust himself around a vulnerable defenceless child. knowledge of his anger and it’s consequences does not help.

- but also to consider: sirius had almost an exact similar experience. he was equally terrified to be a godfather for harry bc he never trusted himself w delicate things. so he knows, intimately, what’s it’s like to fear yourself.

- it doesn’t get better with one conversation. sirius knew this going in. what he does, instead, is help harry become confident by being there, always, without fail. makes him see that he’s got this down pat, and his child loves and trusts and adores him and there’s no greater privilege than that. he’s there every single time as a safety net, to tell harry that nothing will go wrong, yes, but also to prove he doesn’t need anyone else.

- it’s also a whole lot of ‘omg this is so difficult, you did this for me?????’ and just. realisations about ‘omg u changed my diaper??? i peED ON YOU??????’ that basically make it impossible for him to look sirius in the eye for a few days.

- another point to consider: harry sees sirius with jemmy from an outsider pov yeah? and he can finally see what others have all this time: how sirius looks at someone he loves wholeheartedly, how much he adores his children. and it’s humbling and awe-inspiring and a bit terrifying. imagining the full force of that love directed towards him, making him wonder what he did to deserve it

- there’s a loooooot of midnight/asscrack of morning firecalls/mirror calls etc for emergency assistance bc ‘are babies supposed to sleep like tho at! he’s been farting all night sirius iTS SO BAD! omg his poop is green padfoot is my baby toxic?????’ ykno. normal new dad stuff.

(and this is random but there’s also one,,,,forbidden conversation with sirius about it he’d ever hated him bc harry had some very unsavoury thoughts in the beginning when he had teddy that he hates himself for to this day and if he has to hear his godfather say he didn’t want him to get rid of them then he’ll do it. it’s a tough but necessary one)

so many marauders posts (esp ab the black brothers) can basically be summed up like ‘tell me ur an only child without telling me ur an only child’
