So. You say in this post that Sirius Black is a very powerful character and that he was severely underplayed. Can you elaborate on that? Like i beliece you, but i need to know exactly why you think that ya feel?

hi hi hi! i just went through several months worth of my asks bc i was so sure i’d answered something similar before (when i was generally more coherent) but this is the only thing i could find lol. (not complaining bc i found other good stuff but oh well)

so, i have a few reasons for this.

one, that he managed to ‘retain his sanity’ in azkaban; have enough presence of mind (and good enough eyesight!) to recognise pettigrew and come up with an escape plan and actually manage to pull it off. he has incredible strength of mind & character imo.

two, he’s so smart. becoming an animagus at 15, helping create a magical map that’s so versatile, being super unbothered about his OWLs/academics, all the outsider pov comments we have.

third, bouncing off that, he’s also rational. he’s intelligent. he can connect dots and form a picture. and tbh, considering the avg wizard’s poor ability to think critically—this one trait in itself pushes him to the top of ‘very capable, very powerful’. (this meta is really quite fascinating too)

four, i think magically also he was really quite good. not just bc of the animagus thing, but also that he’s duelling death eaters (iirc he beat someone before tango-ing w bella) after like. years of incarceration and months of being locked up in his childhood house of horrors.

and this is all just canon. if u include HCs on top of that—i have so many about like, the black family teaching their kids skills/spells from an early age and making them generally more competent/ruthless than others their own age.

re being severely underplayed—man. this one gets me so bad lmao. here we have a character who’s demonstrated some serious magical ability, can think well on his feet, can draw conclusions from facts like you’ve not seen before, and is heavily, unequivocally devoted to harry (and therefore, the cause). this is one person that would’ve done anything in his not-inconsiderable power to end the war bc it’s taken so much from him.

(and again, venturing into HC/AU territory, if u consider the black family & its power/authority/resources, then that’s a whole other thing)

all of this and what was he relegated to? haunting the walls of GP & being shifted from one prison to another. that’s it.

Being a girl is: wanting to go to bed early but deciding to just get on tumblr/wattpad/Ao3 for a little bit and then end up finding a fic series that you really like and read until well past your usual bedtime then keeping on because it’s already past your bedtime. Then being mad when you wake up in the morning because you overslept your timer.

the bond between a girl and their favorite fictional man is both an unstoppable force and an immovable object

It’s like a full-blown addiction, but instead of drugs or booze, it’s this fictional guy who’s got her wrapped around his finger. She knows it’s fucked up—knows she’s out here daydreaming about someone who’s not even real—but who cares? This guy? He’s everything. He’s charming in the worst ways, flawed in every possible sense, but there’s just something about him that has her hooked. He doesn’t even know she exists, but she’s ready to fight anyone who says a word against him. Seriously, she’ll defend his honor like it’s a fucking life-or-death mission.

He’s a goddamn trainwreck, but he’s her trainwreck. She’ll put up with all his baggage, his emotional scars, his dark sides, because somehow, that brokenness makes him feel more real to her than any real guy could. He’s messed up, but she’ll fix him in her head every single time. Maybe it’s that thrill of knowing he’s dangerous and untouchable that makes him even more irresistible. He might break her heart in a hundred ways, but it’s the kind of heartbreak that makes her feel alive, even if it hurts like hell.

And it’s never gonna happen, right? She knows that. He’s not gonna waltz into her life and sweep her off her feet. But it doesn’t matter. Because she gets to have him on her terms—no messy reality, no awkward first dates, no risking her heart for real. He’s always there when she needs him, in that perfect little bubble of fantasy she’s built for herself. And maybe she’s a little crazy for it, but at least with him, she’s never disappointed. Every time she replays his scenes, reads the fanfics, imagines their future together—it's like a high she can never quite shake. She knows it's all just a mindfuck, but she’s never felt more alive.
