u ever look at a shade of green and think "yes."
what kind of music do you think Sirius listened to? favorite songs/bands? I know most of the fandom associates him to punk rock (or Bowie and Queen), but he grew up in the seventies, that was such a rich decade music wise.
also I’ve been listening to a lot of Pink Floyd lately and the song “Brain Damage” makes me think about him and the effects the whole Peter betrayal and Azkaban had in his mind.
Hello anon.
So I have some controversial takes about Sirius's music tastes. I don't think he was achingly cool in his tastes. He spent most of his time either in a really traditional home or a remote Scottish castle. Also the only time we see him being musical in canon, he's singing his own dorky remix of a traditional Christmas carol.
So I can imagine his early tastes being Opera (which suits his personality so much) and classical. I have a HC that wizarding classical music is stuck in the 1600s so young Sirius may well have jammed to something like this:
Note: one of my other hyperfixations is Anne Boleyn
I also don't think he arrived at Hogwarts all 'woke' about muggleborns. I think he had to unlearn some prejudices (we get glimpses of his upbringing when he calls Peter 'Filth'.).
But as he gets older I can see him starting to explore his musical tastes (I still HC him as a massive opera fan).
I see him as someone who likes quite angsty music (Joni Mitchell) and I also don't think his tastes would purely be contemporary music (personally I love stuff from all decades).
I like the subversion of Sirius with an achingly cool taste in music listening and loving something like this (especially the Misbehaving thing)
I also think Delta Blues fits his personality and this is the song that reminds me the most of him:
sorry what was that i was thinking about harry potter
actually [unwritten project] is my greatest accomplishment in life
James & Lily.
So I watched Anastasia (1997) again and I couldn’t help but think: Anya and Dimitri are so Jily together. I guess this is one of those times I love to make fanarts <3
'do you think you're superior for not using AI in your work' thank you for asking! yes i do
#absolutely
#and, like, it shouldn't even be that difficult to understand because it's really literally the core of the saga 😭
the story showed luke’s love bringing anakin ‘back’ in the end. the movie is called return of the jedi. “i am a jedi like my father before me”.
so why, then, would you think the message is “anakin was actually a toxic abusive evil piece of shit all along”, “padmé was a dummy who didn’t see red flags”, “anakin never genuinely loved padmé [or by extension luke]”, “anakin’s love was superficial”, etcetera etcetera? like 😭 just utilizing critical thinking and looking at the core story being told as well as the genre, why would you take those messages away? why would you not look at the skywalker family as people who loved each other deeply, lost each other because of evil (the dark side), and were set free by luke’s compassionate love and ability to release them?
sexiest thing a character can do is drag their past around like it's a dead body tied to their ankles
I drew this for fun and I don’t think it turned out terrible :)
