Fanon Sirius is kind of like fanon Draco: girly, gay, the type to gossip and paint nails with the ladies, short, submissive, a poor helpless victim and overall boring and woobified

Isn't fanon Draco the alpha daddy dom abuser?

Or maybe I misunderstood what fanon is I always think it was about generally accepted by fandom

Speaking of this:

girly, gay, the type to gossip and paint nails with the ladies, short, submissive, a poor helpless victim and overall boring and woobified

Why did Sirius became this and also Regulus?

Or maybe I misunderstood what fanon is I always think it was about generally accepted by fandom

Hey, I wouldn't agree with that. Fanon is simply a divergence from canon. There may be fanon headcanons that are generally accepted but that is not always the case.

People can interpret characters differently. Which is how you end with this hotpot of Draco representations. From child abuse survivor symbol to gay Draco who is dealing with internalized homophobia.

I tend to see more effeminate versions of Draco in Drarry. To the point where I wonder why the author didn't just make Draco into a girl. Not all Drarry of course! I tend to see more of the suave, alpha dom abuser Draco you mentioned in Dramione.

Either way, canon Draco is hard to come by. Drarry is my best bet for getting interesting Draco plots but sometimes I get sick of the Drarry romance.

Why did Sirius became this and also Regulus?

I am not the best person to ask this. I really don't understand why marauders fandom is so keen to make Remus into some alpha stud when Sirius 'handsomed handsomely while being handsome' Black is right there! I don't know why these people are so freaking obsessed with turning masculine characters into women! So sick and tired of Draco and Sirius being feminized like this! So not helping with the effeminate gay man stereotype, sometimes I wonder if the stereotype is valid after all given that almost all of the gay guys I met in college were girly.

I will always have a soft spot for Godfather!Sirius. Too bad quality godfather!Sirius fics are so hard to find. Have to shift through a bunch of Wolfstar crap and Slytherin bashing. Not to mention, Sirius' character being distorted.

Idk why, but when I think of Sirius parenting Harry, all I see is Sirius and Harry getting really close and laughing together, and then toddler Harry calls Sirius, 'papa', and all of sudden Sirius is on his knees with pictures of James and Lily, begging Harry to remember.

Things a random person is trying to claim canon on Snape and the Marauders over one of my videos since I can't fall asleep cus of sickness + they are EXTREMELY stupid for a 17yo:

Severus tried to kiss Lily by force. (???)

The worst memory happened because of he wouldn't leave Lily alone (??? He didn't even talk with her before it started and they were BEST FRIENDS)

James was "provoked" and did it to "protect his girlfriend from the enemy" (the "gf" in question which hated him and refused to date him till their 7th year, and the enemy being her best friend)

Severus physically hit children (only happened in the movies where his character was cut by more then half ☠)

Physically abused Harry for 7 years (girl do you know how to read?)

He was a stalker (??? Mixing him much with the marauders who literally had a map that showed who is where and when? 🤨)

Severus called lily a slvt (what even???l

She said Severus trying to apologize for using the word 'mudblood' is "guilt tripping" (you would've cried over him not apologizing, right? ☠)

Came to attack me for shipping Snupin as if that had anything to do with the convo lol (didn't have anything smart to say ig)

Continued it by saying that Remus was a marauder and that they all hated Snape - also untrue regardless, he was the only one to call him be his name and to feel bad for him, also the only one to not laugh at him at the worst memory.

They said they're 17 yet they're fighting me like a 12 yo ☠

"I've read the book 4 times" girl who gave you the knockoff version ☠

The video in question was a joking vid over people hating Snape-defenders and Harry being the 1# defender, nothing more.

Random but imo canon Sirius would straight up bully fanon Sirius if they were in school together pass tweet

[hyperfocuscentre]

i’m gonna make a statement and the sirius/severus fans might not like this one but…

sirius and severus are very much opposite sides of the same coin.

(before you continue, i would just like to suggest proceeding with caution as i will be mentioning topics such as abuse and bullying).

sirius grew up with wealth and privilege, severus did not. however, it’s heavily implied in canon that they both experienced some form of abuse whether it be mental or physical. gonna sight some sources because i’ve had people argue with me over that:

^ as shown above, we get a lot from sirius that suggests the way his mother’s portrait acts is similar to the way she acted in life (although presumably more extreme). furthermore, we get a direct comparison of harry’s childhood house to sirius’ from harry himself, implying there’s similarities in their treatment and the memories formed in these households.

it was actually much harder to find evidence for severus’ possible abuse, but there’s definitely signs of neglect. he was obviously poor, so his appearance might just be a reflection of that but the stuff about the arguing and his father’s distaste for everything does imply abuse.

^ as shown above, this is actually considered a form of emotional abuse.

ANYWAY, onto my original point! both sirius and severus do negative things, possibly as a result of this abuse:

- severus’ distaste for muggles, stemming from a young age, is arguably because of his father. he joins the death eaters and picks prejudice friends as a result. however, it’s also possible he joined the death eaters to feel powerful, considering it’s implied he’s felt anything but throughout his childhood (and also during hogwarts because of james and sirius). this, obviously, is an awful decision and cannot be justified but it’s always interesting to look deeply into the motives of morally grey characters.

- also, he rejects his surname and creates the title ‘half-blood prince’ which probably suggests bad relations with his father (or maybe he just wanted a cool name, although that’s not an argument that fits with my yapping).

- sirius similarly seeks power through his constant defiance: he becomes a gryffindor (there is some level of choice during the sorting, remember!), he completely opposes his parents beliefs and was probably only further motivated by their mistreatment considering he ends up disowned. additionally, he seeks out power through bullying in canon. it’s a well known fact that bullies maybe be acting this way due to bad situations in their home life.

arguably, these two guys are acting out in attempt to combat their shitty situations.

FINALLY, in adulthood these two guys seem to be heavily controlled by their past. sirius never got the chance to mature and grieve, stuck in a prison with creatures that literally sucked the happiness and positivity out of him. he was stunted, dealing with his grief and incapable of joining society. instead, he got trapped in his childhood home which was probably full of great memories!! (sarc) he remains impulsive and clearly still holds his childhood grudge against severus.

severus’ only purpose for living was avenging lily (i believe?). he joined dumbledore in attempt to save her, and then just continued to help him when he failed. he’s very clearly burdened by his mistakes and stuck grieving for his past friendship. adding onto that, he can’t let go of his anger at the marauders: he takes it out on harry, absolutely jumps at the chance to get sirius ‘kissed’ and blatantly despises remus.

i’m done! i’m not doing a conclusion because i hate those so… enjoy my badly worded ramble? please don’t be mean in the comments if you disagree!

Snape Gang

Here to remember that Evan Rosier was part of the Snape Gang canonically.

According to Sirius Black, he was part of a group of Slytherins and aspiring Death Eaters which included Severus Snape, as well as Wilkes, Avery and Mulciber.

it is much more likely that he was part of his group than that of Regulus who was a year younger than Severus. So the gang needs to be updated:

Severus Snape

Bruce Mulciber

Edmund Avery

Charity Burbage

Aurora Sinistra

Wilhelm Wilkes

Evan Rosier

The Story of the Prince by G_Monti_E

[maxdibert]

i’m very much enjoying your blog, i’m glad that more people like you active in this fandom space despite the stupidity around it. Thank you for your service for clocking tea(s)!

Hahaha, well, it helps me vent too because honestly, I read some incredibly stupid arguments. The worst part is that, for example, in Snape's case, it's quite curious how fans of the Golden Trio—who he always treated like crap despite everything—tend to be much more lenient and understanding towards him, and maybe they don't like him, but the general opinion is more sympathetic. The problem lies with the Marauder fans who have taken those four characters and a bunch of random names throughout the saga that have literally zero relevance to the plot, turning them into OCs with canon surnames as a sort of sublimation of their fantasies of building a group of teenagers like Elite or Riverdale in a magical fanfic version. And to make everything fit, they have to use Severus as a punching bag because if they don’t, they have to admit that their beloved characters were a gang of abusers, bullies, and rich kids who took advantage of their status, which doesn't fit their narrative.

But anyway, as always, I’m advocating for the most bashed characters in fandoms—making hot takes about Severus reminds me of when I used to defend Sansa Stark, lol.

All the hate to the person who first headcanoned Sirius Black as short. I hope there's always hair in your food.

[fanfic-lover-girl]

Hi there can you tell me how fanon sirius is and how different he is from canon sirius?

And also do you hate all fanon sirius?

Hey there!

Usual disclaimer, I think you would have a more comprehensive answer from someone who is an old school marauders fan. Honestly, most of the fics I have read and enjoyed tend to be about teen Sirius.

Fanon Sirius is kind of like fanon Draco: girly, gay, the type to gossip and paint nails with the ladies, short, submissive, a poor helpless victim and overall boring and woobified.

Canon Sirius as I know him is tall, masculine, harsh, dominating, passionate, loyal and complex. Canon Sirius does not care about Remus as much as his fanon counterpart who seems to worship this loser's shadow. Everytime I see the wolfstar pairing in a fic, I immediately abandon all hope that the fic is good or that Sirius won't annoy me.

Do I hate all fanon Sirius??? Hard to say. Since I have not fully read the books, I think I have more tolerance for certain aspects of fanon Sirius compared to a more hardcore Sirius fan. Like I don't mind fics where Sirius is a sexy womanizer even though in the books Sirius showed little attention to women - like they weren't worth his time lol. Given how rebellious Sirius is, I doubt he would respect conservative pureblood marriage traditions. Plus he's handsome, rich and a bit immature. So yeah I could see Sirius running through women (even though I hate that kind of behaviour in real life). I also don't mind fics where Sirius is a little domestic, eg liking to cook. Especially in fics which are centered around godfather!Sirius.

But I dislike everything about fanon Sirius when it comes to Wolfstar. I was reading this non sexual age play fic with Harry and Draco and one of the reasons why I stopped reading it was because I couldn't take the Wolfstar anymore. Pretty sure I mentioned that to the author too...

Anyway I am sure you can find more hate for Fanon!Sirius by checking out the anti wolfstar tag :)

severus snape who felt the same power when he developed the sectumsepra curse.

severus snape who slowly felt himself giving into the whispers of those who claimed that the muggleborns should not live.

somewhere along the way, severus snape who lost himself.

severus snape risked himself for the person he once thought he loved but was self aware enough to know, what he felt now was mere obsession. crazy obsession.

severus snape who was doing so much better, working on himself, until he saw the body of the one oerson he loathed the most with the soul of the only person he's loved.

severus snape who lost himself again in the power he felt making harrys life hell in a way he never could his father's

severus snape who couldve been so much had he not been where he was.

severus snape who couldve doen so much better if he was just a bit stronger.

I’ve just realised why Wolfstar rubs me up the wrong way when it takes precedence over James or Harry. And it’s personal, which I think tbh this debate is for most.

For some people, Wolfstar was the first gay couple in the series. They saw the ‘finishing each other’s sentences’, the joint present, the living together, the closeness and intimacy, and finally saw a gay couple in an extremely heteronormative book series. Of course it becomes personal when others say they see no evidence for this. Also why wouldn’t we want them to be in love? And the more I learn about wolfstar the more I understand this side of the argument. We non-wolfstar people must sometimes appear absolutely hateful.

I didn’t see wolfstar, however. (I still don’t). I don’t think it makes me a bad person; blind or a homophone. It just makes me someone who was dealing with other things and therefore took away other stuff from the series.

When I was reading the series, I was dealing with the slow and irreversible decline of my father’s health. I was living with a mother and sister who I loved, but who were both very fem. For me, it was hard to relate to them.

For me, Sirius Black’s sole focus on Harry represented the father figure I missed just as much as Harry. Like Harry I didn’t really know my father all that well (he’d been sick in some capacity since I was born). It was extremely important to me to have Sirius focused entirely on me Harry. It was easy to find platonic and not so platonic reasons why Sirius’ whole life evolved around Harry/James. Those were the moments that stood out to me and I relished reading this series.

Yes I am also a sucker for the type of relationship James and Sirius had. If you thrown the words brother (which has it’s own set of angst-y stuff) or ‘like a brother’ (which opens a few more romantic doors as well as some platonic ones), I am bound to love the story.

This isn’t me making excuses for not liking wolfstar all that much. I like what I like. I dislike what I dislike. I just lose my patience sometimes when some (some being the operative word) Wolfstar fans say they haven’t brought in any biases - and they see the canon clearly - it’s us non-Wolfstar people who are biased against them being gay.

The reality is that JKR wrote these characters intending for them to be straight and we all brought our own biases into it. My bias of not making Wolfstar a thing isn’t an evil plot to make the story more hetrosexual (I love other m/m ships just don’t take Sirius’ attention away from me Harry/James). Sirius isn’t straight in my eyes. I’m all here for ignoring JKR. I’m just not here for wolfstar all that much.

So here it is: my own biases - ready to be used as an argument why I got the story wrong by those who disagree with me. My view: people don’t get stories wrong. A good story has multiple sides to it…

[heartfeltletters-written]

my headcanon on the little incident with snape and remus and the whole werewolf thing is that Sirius didn't actually tell Snape how to get past the tree. As we know Snape was extremelly talented in legimency, so he was goating Sirius to tell him something and read his mind, Sirius was distracted so he had his defences down. When he tells James he claims it's his fault and that he told Snape because Sirius blames himself for letting Snape read his mind and not being cautious enough and protecting his mind, but he never says what really happened to anyone so Remus always thinks he willingly shared the secret when that is just not true.

James knows because he and Sirius share one brain even tho Sirius never told him, he just knows.
