hyperfixating on a fictional woman who went underdeveloped in canon is literally FUN and the 80-90% of fandom people who only do the same for background character men have no idea of the degree to which they are fucking missing out
hour 1 of thinking about an underdeveloped woman: idk it would've been nice if she had more screentime
hour 100 of thinking about an underdeveloped woman: ok but despite having only eight lines of dialogue she is literally THE most interesting nuanced and tragic character in the entire series and these writers had no idea what they even had. how is no one else seeing this it's literally so objectively obvious
Do you have any headcanons about the Black sisters?
I always saw the Blacks in general as decaying aristocrats, with some branches possibly near bankruptcy, which is why Bellatrix marrying a Lestrange for financial security makes sense to me. Given JKRβs terrible math, Andromeda was probably born around 1953 and Tonks around 1972/73, so I always assumed Andromeda got pregnant near the end of her last Hogwarts year and it was some shocking teen pregnancy, even more and that kind of teen pregnancy with a muggleborn sent her family into hysterics, but her and Ted were genuine, so they made it work until yk
When I first saw this, i was like, hmm, I don't think about the Black sisters enough, but I do have headcanons!
So, do understand that I have been in fandom for a LOOOOOONG time, and my interpretation of the Black sisters was HEAVILY influenced by Makani's drawings from the early 2000s.
Okay, here are my headcanons:
All three Black sisters are in love with their husbands (or...whatever love looks like to each of them).
The way I see it, Bellatrix does nothing she doesn't want to do. If she didn't want to marry Rodolphus, she would have murdered him. Or, she would have married him and then killed him and kept the gold.
Personally, I think she and her husband want to fuck Voldemort which is what made their union so, so special. (Maybe they had a threesome and that's how Delphini came along, idk. Or, let's be honest, maybe Rodolphus asked to be in the cuck chair while his wife and Voldemort fucked...)
Narcissa and Lucius struggled with infertility, and so, Draco is their miracle baby boy most precious thing in the universe.
Andromeda and Bellatrix were best friends and only a year apart in school. Andromeda dated Ted secretly, and when Bellatrix found out, they had a huge, explosive fight. Following this, they never spoke to each other again.
Narcissa snitched on Andromeda and Bellatrix all the time to their parents or house-elf.
Bellatrix isn't insane. I don't know how this came to be some sort of "accepted" truth about her, but she reads, to me, as someone who is incredibly cruel and angry and intelligent. She's someone who gets bored very easily, and she isn't bound by a sense of empathy to keep her actions in check. She seeks praise from Voldemort because her self-esteem is derived by her belief that she is inherently better than everyone else--but she's extrinsically motivated by how she is perceived by others. Voldemort feeds her need to be appreciated, and thus has her undying loyalty.
I see Bellatrix as a very Azula-like person, and it might've been nice to see that kind of arc for her. Alas.
something tragic about you, something so magic about you
iβve always had this concept in my brain of knight adam trapped in a tree, like a physical manifestation of his cabeswater bargain! and many have tried to save him but Ronan is the only one who can set him free :β)
