Merry Christmas!
Welcome Christmas, bring your cheer
Cheer to all whos far and near.
Christmas Day is in our grasp
So long as we have hands to clasp.
Christmas Day will always be
Just as long as we have we.
Welcome Christmas, while we stand,
Heart to heart, and hand in hand!
Sirius speaks German!
I’ve seen a lot of posts on Tumblr claiming that the Blacks spoke French at home. Now, I see where this headcanon comes from: French used to be the language of the upper-class and, frankly, it is pretty sexy too.
But… German was the language of Gellert Grindelwald.
Okay, let me take you through my train of thought. I have that headcanon that most of the Sacred Twenty Eight would support Grindelwald and his cause because he wanted to overturn the Statute of Secrecy and create a new order in which wise and powerful wizards were the benevolent overlords of a new society. The purebloods would, of course, hope that, once more, they would be the ruling class under Grindelwald’s rule and learn the language of their master: German.
So far so good. But why do I think that the Blacks spoke predominantly German? First of all, their family origin. Black is an Anglo-Saxon name and therefore closer related to the Germanic roots (they might have chosen to emphasize that). Secondly, given that Viktor Krumm was very upset at the sight of Grindelwald’s mark, his influence seems to linger and there must have been supporters out there to that day. Last but not least, there are many German names in the Black family tree (Sirius’ mum is called Walburga. That is like every German grandma’s name ever).
And tbh Walburga yelling at Sirius in German is far more intimidating than French. I also feel like Regulus and Orion would have appreciated German because it’s very precise and has many words whereas Sirius would have disliked it; simply because it reminded him of his family, but he’d speak it fluently.
Then why did other families drop the language? Some of the Sacred Twenty Eight might not have supported Grindelwald in the first place (maybe they preferred Voldemort’s solution?). Other families might be bilingual or not have a high command of the language and other families might still rely on French as the language of the aristocracy.
Anyway… maybe next time I get to see a prompt/fic/drabble with any of the Black family using German. I think it’s at least a valid theory.
The Grindelwald connection aside, I do like the idea of the Blacks having German heritage through the Crabbe line, considering Walburga and Irma are very German names. Alphard and Cygnus both had traditional Black astronomy names, but I like the idea of Irma wanting to give at least one of her children a German name in honour of her own heritage. And yes, the idea of Walburga having a mad shouting fit in German sounds far better than plain old English. You know she’s pissed when she switches to German xD
Welcome to my new headcanon.
Resurrecting this because the Blacks having German connections is still one of my favourite headcanons.
A customer contacted our team with questions, and then finished their email with: "I am daunted by the complexities and unknowns." I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since.
Reblog if you are daunted by the complexities and unknowns
Remember when Harry wished that he was lying with his parents underneath the snow?
Because I do.
Remember that time he wanted to die so he could be with Sirius?
Because I do.
Remember that time he got such a fixation on simply looking at a reflection of his dead family - not only was Ron worried about him, but Albus Dumbledore got concerned enough to break his 'don't get close to Harry' silence and talk to him for the very first time?
Because I do.
Remember when he had to remind himself his parents were dead and that listening to their final moments wouldn’t bring them back?
Because I do.
Orion retreating to the study every time Sirius and Walburga argue/fight:
I feel like I have to @ @mariekavanagh (sorry)
#also regulus retreating to the kitchens when Sirius and Walburga argue/fight
This is 100% Orion in most social situations haha
So true!

Haha! It does sound like that 😂
Happy Halloween!
it used to be 2007 you know
All the adults should put in the tags how old they were in 2007
shoutout to the fact that peter pettigrew was so terrified of sirius that he decided nothing short of resurrecting lord voldemort could keep him safe
OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”
NOT JIF,
GIF.
And here is the link for the opposite.
WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.
I just wrote in my diary, for the first time in a long time, and let me just say..it feels really cleansing to get everything out. This time, I will try to make it a daily routine.
At first I was like: “Oh she’s a carbon copy of teen Bulma.”
Now I’m like: “Oh…now I see it!!!”
Yes! I will scream it from the rooftops that Bulla has Vegeta’s nose and mouth with Bulma’s eyes 🩷 Trunks and Bulla are a good mix of each parent.
Rest Peacefully Akira Toriyama. Thank you for everything 🩵
