So I haven’t posted here in a while I’ve been more active on IG… HERES FOR SIRIUS’s BIRTHDAY yesterday 💙💙💙
(new anon). It's too bad JKR has such dislike for Malfoy and his fans. I was raised by racist parents and really identify with him and his struggle because of that. It took going away to college for me to fully snap out of the brainwashing. Sirius seems to be the only character raised with that kind of ideology who never gets sucked into it. And I guess maybe that's possible for some people but it's hardly realistic for everyone. Especially since he wouldn't have been exposed to opposing views until going away to school but he seems to already just despise his family and their ideology when it's all he's ever known.
JKR seems to be under the impression that people who like Draco only like him because they're into the fantasy of "fixing" him, and I don't think that's fair. Realizing that you don't 100% agree with your parents - and especially realizing that you don't agree with your parents' politics - that's just an incredibly relatable coming-of-age experience.
I do think that we're supposed to interpret Sirius as "correct" for being eleven and already questioning his family:
“Who wants to be in Slytherin? I think I’d leave, wouldn’t you?” James asked the boy lounging on the seats opposite him, and with a jolt, Harry realized that it was Sirius. Sirius did not smile. “My whole family have been in Slytherin,” he said. “Blimey,” said James, “and I thought you seemed all right!” Sirius grinned. “Maybe I’ll break the tradition. Where are you heading, if you’ve got the choice?”
But I think this just adds to the impression that Sirius has a spectacularly bad home life, same as Harry (who also shows up to Hogwarts at eleven thinking that the Dursleys are wrong about everything.) There are also parallels to to the way Lily sort of pulls Severus in the direction of Gryffindor ("sometimes I think we sort too soon") and the way James is pulling Sirius towards Gryffindor here.
But unlike Severus and Sirius, Draco... does not have a bad home life. It's a plot point in Book 6 that his family is really tight knit. Which of course just makes questioning his parents messier, harder, and realer.
Whenever I write fic (or read fic) about Harry and Sirius, I like it when they still have a little leftover gunk from their upbringings that they need to examine and unpack. It doesn't work like an on/off light switch: you realize that your parents are wrong and then magically throw off all the thought patterns and norms they taught you. Like for Sirius - of course he doesn't believe in all those pureblood, blood supremacy talking points. But I bet he still kinda thinks rules are for other people, and that it's sort of his job to protect disenfranchised people like Remus (who are inherently less capable them him...) That's when something like the Prank actually starts to make sense.
It’s such a shallow take when people say, 'Well, Sirius did it, so why didn’t Draco?' as if everyone grows up in the same emotional environment. Sirius might’ve had a bad home life, but Draco had a loving family, so why would he question them? jkr wants us to believe Sirius was right and that everyone should be like him, but in reality, there are way more people who grow up in environments like Draco’s. That actually makes him more relatable. Expecting Draco to be like Sirius isn’t realistic—it’s idealistic.
Sirius is the exception to the rule, not the standard. Right up until his death, his environment clung to his heels. Look at how adamantly he mistreated Kreacher. Whether he liked Kreacher or not, whether Kreacher instigated Sirius’ ire or not, Sirius had no qualms about his behaviour, even in front of an audience. You can’t tell me Sirius didn’t learn that from his parents or other relatives.
Draco isn’t going to experience an on/off switch with it either. The war gave him a sharp jolt, but if the war never happened? Guarantee the Lucius we saw in the early books would have been Draco in twenty years.
#thank you#people try to act as if Sirius was perfect#the only thing we're he didn't believe in was blood supremacy#we were still shown how classist he still was in childhood#and the his treatment of Kreacher#snd this might be picky but his line sbout treating your inferiors good rubs me the wrong way#because... what do you mean “inferior”#who is this INFERIOR??????#House elves? mugglebornes? muggles? poor people?????
*Good notes.*
I thought @kittenwriter put it really, really well when they said "I'm drawing mental parallels to cultural Christianity and fandom purity culture-- he changed his morals somewhat but he never changed the *mindset*, never dug into the "but actually I'm not superior to everyone else" of it all." We were talking about Sirius in the context of one of my fics, but I try to give him a little bit of... recovering rich bitch... whenever I write him.
✨All of this!✨
I rarely write Sirius as a sweet, gentle person. He can be, but that’s not who he is at a core level. Sirius is both entitled and traumatised. He lashes out and hurts others when he’s hurting or afraid. He has a defensive, impulsive, and volatile personality. Even with Harry, arguably the person he cares for the most post-war, he can be cruel when he doesn’t get what he wants.
It’s interesting how Draco parallels both Black brothers at different points. I think JKR intended for him to parallel Regulus, and he does in some ways, but his reactions during/after the war are far closer to Sirius’s. Draco grew up in a close-knit, protective family. His parents were strict, but not abusive. Regulus grew up in an abusive family and bent to their will to avoid that abuse. That upbringing nurtures two very different personalities.
Draco is confident, entitled, and self-absorbed. He believes he’s superior not only because he was told so, but because he was treated as superior by everyone around him. A truly spoiled, rich kid, whose narcissism and visions of grandeur were encouraged. He takes pride in his intelligence, his looks, his family’s wealth and status, showing off as much as possible. It takes being exposed to the violence of the Death Eaters and threats to his family to wake him up, and still he doesn’t fully switch sides right away. He simply steps back and disengages from actively hurting people, shutting down. Why? Because recovery from deep held beliefs takes time and intentional effort!
Regulus has to prove his loyalty to his family and their beliefs because he faces abuse if he does not. He is functioning from a place of self-preservation, which is a trauma response. His brother found supportive friends at Hogwarts, so he was strong enough to leave and had a safe place to go, but Regulus doesn’t. Sirius calls him “soft enough to believe (their parents)” which likely means he saw him as easily manipulated, but also makes it clear that Regulus’s pureblood supremacy stems from forceful indoctrination, not a place of validated superiority.
Regulus is also surrounded by people who re-enforce that belief at Hogwarts, illustrating the power and influence of pureblood status without experiencing it for himself. It’s pretty clear that Regulus was flying under the radar at school and doing the bare minimum to keep his parents happy. This is why, when he discovers the purpose of the horcrux and Voldemort’s violent intentions, he switches sides so quickly. Regulus isn’t a true believer, he is still looking for validation when he joins the Death Eaters. When Voldemort’s facade breaks down, so does he.
At his core, Regulus wasn’t a self-confident or violent character. There is no mention of him hurting anyone but himself. He wanted his parents’ praise and pride, as well as avoid their anger. He is mentioned by only one of his teachers in passing, so he clearly didn’t make much of an impression even though he was the Seeker on his house quidditch team and was in Slughorn’s Slug Club. There are no awards shown with his name or mention that he made Prefect. He’s not even mentioned as part of Snape’s gang of future Death Eaters by Sirius. Even Slughorn doesn’t gush over him like he did Lily and Sirius.
Instead, it’s Kreacher who tells his story. His house elf is Regulus’s only trusted confidant and that speaks volumes! He had no one else to turn to for help and clearly didn’t believe his parents would support him, so his redemption and sacrifice were kept quiet and private.
Draco couldn’t do that. However by the choices he makes post-war, it’s obvious that he’s trying to reverse course, if only for his son. He has to dig much deeper and unpack far more than Regulus did to turn himself around, but he does! That matters. It is an important aspect of his character arc that JKR didn’t give much time to in the books.
What a wonderful insight into all of the three characters, bravo! Especially Reg. It made me tear a bit, ngl.
We know that James would never pick between Sirius and Regulus, but do you know why we make him choose Sirius anyways?
For the angst of course. Like James feeling awful after choosing Sirius over Regulus, and Regulus absolutely breaking down bc he had thought that maybe, maybe someone loved him completely, but he was always the second priority, always second to Sirius, the spare heir, the second thought.
And James too breaking down but never once regretting his choice of picking Sirius, bc he was his brother in all but blood, someone for whom James would throw all his morals and the world out of the window. He breaks down, feels awful, is partially dead inside but never regrets his choice. This only makes Regulus crumble faster.
And Sirius, he was chosen over his brother, he knows the choice was hard and he watches his brother crumble and his best friend become a husk of himself but he doesn't find it in himself to hate James for it because, it was prongs, his brother in all but blood, and if James had not chosen him then he would have not survived. This only makes him hate himself more bc his brother is crumbling down and he is kind of glad for it.
If you've read this then maybe you're crying or just angry at me so here's cookies🍪🍪🍪🍪 <3
Pt 3 MARLENE 💙
The outfit gave me some trouble but now I really like it!!
PART TWO Mary 💙
Was going to post all the designs together but they’re taking me a bit longer than I expected so here is Lily’s design for my pixie hollow au (I will post something more concise as soon as I finish the other designs 😩)
Remus: Don't you feel like you're being watched?
James: Huh?
Remus: Don't you feel that someone is always watching you?
James: Like Santa Claus?
Remus: no...
James: God?
Remus: no...
James: Birds? Those fuckers are always watching...
Remus: Try again.
James: My dead grandma?
Remus: ...no
James: Big Brother?
Remus: no.
James: The Devil?
Remus: Oh for fucks sake- I meant Regulus. He always looks at you, when you're not aware.
James: oh really?!
Remus: Yeah... but I guess you could have missed that with all that eyes on you all the time, mate.
A quick animation of Remus’s mind during his transformation ✨🥹
