TW: Abuse in the two POV's of Antonin
☆ — oc questions: creator edition. by @ricesinspo
— ☆ —
send me a question + an oc and i'll answer it
would this oc fight you if they could?
would you kill off this oc, and why? / if they're already dead, why did you kill them off?
if this oc could change anything about their life (or lack thereof), what would it be, and would you change that?
how was this oc named? is there any specific reason or meaning behind it?
why was this oc created?
what was the inspiration for their story / lore?
have you made any alternate universes for this oc? if not, what kind of au would you make of them?
has there been any part of having this oc (designing, writing, drawing, etc...) that was difficult?
what is your favorite part of having this oc?
have you ever considered removing, abandoning, giving away, or otherwise no longer using this oc? why or why not?
— ☆ —
you can ask anything about the Knights! (because everybody but Tom, Walburga, Alphard, Cygnus, Orion and Antonin are OC, and name OCS works for those also about the second name)
the Deatheaters just didn't have the same razzle-dazzle 😔
The KoW were a bunch of ritzy theatre kids who got super intense and didn't realise Tom was being serious until it was too late, and you can't convince me otherwise.
Pollux and Irma are tired of Walburga, Alphard and Cygnus. To the point that
Alphard's bedroom is Antonin's bedroom too
Abraxas is mostly there
Albert (Druella's father) sends reminders of everything to Pollux because Druella is always at Grimmauld Place.
Irma tried to tell Pollux to not let their kids' lovers around.
His answer?
"Sweetheart, I cannot fathom to let Antonin home. We might bring here Natasha too." (Natasha is Antonin's younger sister)
"Do you see how pretty Walburga smiles when Abraxas is here?"
"I do love when a friend of mine text me. Doesn't matter why."
3 boys, 1 shared brain cell
Pansy and Alessia walking in this: "What is."
Gregory and Vincent: "Why are you girls even asking?"
Rigel got hit by Draco and nobody cared.
fancast: anna chancellor as lucretia black, later prewett and colin firth as orion black.
"Many say that the young Lucretia resembled her mother most, hence might behave like her as well. Yet it was the Master Orion who inherited Melania's steadiness, and a sense of stability. The two were never apart yet never too close as well. Orion could always rely on Lucretia, no matter what."
When Sirius was born, Orion had one person only in mind as godparent: Lucretia. He didn't care about the godfather, Walburga surely would have asked one of her brothers. But if there was a person he would let his son be with, that was his sister.
james is a cocky, self-centered bastard with little to no regard for the feelings of others. in his youth, he’d been a spoiled brat with both monty and effie wrapped around his finger. potter was only sweet to his parents, a stark contrast to the overly entitled and arrogant personality he displayed in front of his peers.
blunt remarks were the only things that ever came out of james’s, as well as rude insults. you would never catch him being nice to anyone who he didn’t think would benefit him. he was a taker, not a giver. at times, he could be selfish, even towards the people he was closest to. james was just so used to getting what he wanted, because no matter how many times euphemia or fleamont tried to humble her son, they would always let the adoration for their only child get the best of them.
the only time james exhibited any sort of selflessness had been with sirius, remus, and lily. of course, there has been times where he’s hurt them in the past with his own self-sabotaging nature, but that didn’t mean potter wasn’t going to ever stop putting them first above himself.
It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.
If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.
#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.
headcanon that orion black was afraid of the dark as a kid and would have terrible nightmares.
Melania would always fix him a nice glass of warm milk and a bowl of cherries (my mom used to do this) whenever he couldn’t sleep.
Lady Black refused to let the servants assist her in preparing her son this late-night snack.
awww this is so sweet 🥰
Melania was too kind for the House of Black. Sirius II and Hesper never liked her, but Arcturus didn't want to marry anybody else who wasn't her. Definitely didn't help that Lucretia was born only 7 months after the wedding... even if Pollux claimed it was done by them for getting married.
And Orion was such a mama's boy that he never had a single day in his life without his mother being alive.
A thief lost in the Black Mansion: sneezes
Lucretia, from the balcony above: Bless you. Thief: God? Is that you?
Walburga, from the balcony below: No.
Thief: Satan?
Cygnus banging pans together outside the room with Alphard cackling: YOU HAVE ANGERED THE GODS! Thief: screams
Orion: starts playing creepy violin music from the next room
Thief: ungodly screech
Pollux and Arcturus, seeing all the chaos unwind: Teens these days.
to all my fic writers: be that one rarepair writer. even if literally no one else is there. be the single glowing lightbulb in the void. write the rarepair so good some poor reader stumbles on it at 3am, loses their mind, and then realizes… oh. there’s only one fic. yours. congrats you’re both the blessing and the curse.
Hell yeah
I need more Slytherin girls shenanigans.
Give me Millie and Daphne and Pansy and Theo and Tracey and Astoria, playing games and arguing and swapping clothes and sharing invented spells. Give me Slytherins being something other than bitchy and cliquey and hierarchical. Give me girls seeing each other as equals and companions.
There is so much power in the friendship of teenage girls.
AKA GIVE US the girls JKR would have loathed because they were feminists!
Millie and Daphne who helps Alessia (OC) being close to the pure-blood community and how surviving it.
Tracey, who gives her all the tips in the first year.
Pansy and Astoria who help her in makeup and dresses so she can be pretty because there is no way in hell they don't want her to be at her maximum, also because they know how great she is!
And let's not forget the boys:
Draco, Gregory and Theodore who helps her in the political's stuffs, as she will vote in the House of Black soon.
Vincent who trains her in physical combats (because the wand doesn't always save)
And Blaise who loves her so much to betray all his values for his girl.
I'm 100% missing somebody but meh, you got my point.
THE JOKES THE KNIGHTS WOULD HAVE SAID WHEN THEY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE HORCUXES LIKE-
Diana: don't tell a soul that I'm dating Reinhard
Lucretia: fine.
------- Lucretia: Diana is dating.
Tom: who?
Lucretia: I cannot tell, Diana made me promise that I couldn't tell a soul and you got half. So I told you half the secret.
Tom: intensified stare you're joking?
Lucretia: no
Tom is thinking if actually dating her is worth the money he will gain
Tom Riddle (talking about how he would be in charge): My first rule would be that no one could veto my rules.
Mathilde Grindelwald (the daughter of a possible tyranny): That's called tyranny and it's generally frowned upon.
saw this on twitter and i just had to do it
But I can bet that Orion and Evan Sr. Did this joke a lot.
The Knights and their patronus
Disclaimer: Same as JKR I'll not give in the story a patronus to the future Death Eaters, but I came with every patronus to each of them. Many times I'll describe them when they are adult, because I'll put the patronus class in their last year.
Walburga: a dog. Meaning of loyalty and protection, this describes Walburga especially as a mother: she is loyal and protective, even if it's in the wrong way, but her means are good.
Orion: a cat. Meaning of liking spending time alone and being by themselves, this is Orion a lot in his adulthood. He can't be alone, but whenever he can he takes quality time for himself.
Alphard: an elephant. A strong connection with those around then, friends and family. He doesn't follow a lot the crowd, and he is unique. Alphard is somebody who will be in the neutral side of the First Wizarding War, while everybody else in his family will join a side.
Cygnus: a white swan. While the swan is the meaning of grace and love, Cygnus he loves fiercly people he is close to. He gives positive energy freely especially in his teenagers years and early adulthood.
Antonin: a brown bear. A symbol of Russia (Antonin's home country), the bear means having a wild and free heart, and in need of little help, with difficult life problems. It recalls to Antonin's childhood and teenagers years.
Tom: a snake. Symbol of his household and House, it also means duality, wisdom and circle of life and death. Tom is a Christian Catholic person (in later life he will consider himself atheist) and in this religion the snake is symbol of evil.
Lucretia: a moth. Meaning of a connection to transformation and embracing the unknown. While the Moth means rebirth and inner strength, in Lucretia's case it means fragility and vulnerability, as she tends to be easily swayed.
Druella: a dolphin. Meaning of a person intelligent, social and expressive. Druella is a social person and expressive, she never has to stay quiet if she has something to say.
Mathilde: a wolf. Lone and solitary, and aptitude for combat. But it is also great in packs. It balances the two personalities. The wolf represent feared and mystery. It describes Mathilde's adaptability for fighting both alone and with other people.
Icarus: a hyena. Symbolizes a person who is cunning, clever and smart, often using a humorous or silly facade to hide their true motives and outwit others. Especially post August 1945 this is Icarus' description.
Reinhard: a wild boar. Symbol of strength, courage, loyalty, and a warrior's spirit, indicating someone who is strong, noble, and fierce when challenged, yet also grounded and honorable. Reinhard is the most physically strong within the Knights.
Evan: a fox represents cunning, resourcefulness, quick thinking, adaptability and solving problems by going out of the box, it's also a good definition for pranksters.
Abraxas: an peacock. Symbold of natural show off, eccentric, but suffering of making often poor judgement call. Wonderful entertainer, it describes Abraxas his whole life.
Diana: an eagle. Symbol of a person being bold, free and dominant. They know what they want and how to get them. Stubborn, they open up to close people only. Diana doesn't like to let people telling her what to do, she prefers her clear path.
Maxwell: a hummingbird. Symbol of flirtation, charm and vital energy, it's Maxwell whole life as a charmer (hence his nickname within the Knights)
