Well, Well. It's spooky season, which means autumn and halloween, which means a million thousand Jily vibes.

So even if it was just once, I needed to draw them, it heals my heart.

Canon Sirius through quotes

Part 1. Appearance

In the canon, he's described as handsome 3 times from Harry's point of view - but never pretty. By the way, Harry has only described four people as handsome (+ Tom Riddle, Cedric Diggory and Gellert Grindelwald).

"Sirius was tall and handsome. He loped with an easy grace, his hands in his pockets and a grin on his face."

"Beside him was Sirius, carelessly handsome, his slightly arrogant face so much younger and happier than Harry had ever seen it alive."

"Sirius stared around at the students milling over the grass, looking rather haughty and bored, but very handsomely so."

"Sirius was lounging in his chair at his ease, tilting it back on two legs. He was very good-looking; his dark hair fell into his eyes with a sort of casual elegance neither James’s nor Harry’s could ever have achieved, and a girl sitting behind him was eyeing him hopefully, though he didn’t seem to have noticed."

having jily thoughts. like wow. everyone lily cared about eventually left her but here comes in james “my last breath will be used to defend you” potter and i’m supposed to think they’re boring apparently

Lily, who couldn't take the shit she was going through at home anymore, and ran away

Lily, who lived on the streets and joined a gang

Lily, who left it behind together with the muggle world once she finished Hogwarts

Lily, who never told anyone about it, not even James

Lily, who still kept a gun close because old habits die hard

Lily, who used the gun to save her family on the night of Halloween in 1981

Forgive me, Peter

My lost fearless leader

In closets like cedar

Preserved from when we were just kids

Is it somethin' I did?

“black brothers angst this” “black brothers angst that” CAN WE PLEASEEE GET MORE PETUNIA AND LILY ANGST PLEASEEE

I am going to write more of it!!!

walburga: you’re not good enough for my son

remus: you’re not good enough for your son

walburga: excuse me?

remus: you heard me.

“The ones who love us never really leave us; you can always find them in here.” 

tbh if my friends' animagi forms were a majestic stag and a badass dog, but mine was a RAT, i also would've betrayed them.

remus lupin :3

I, personally love Jily.

I love the concept of them being high school sweethearts and them still being in love years later. I also love the concept of both of them dating people before getting together and in a silly, sunday night, them opening up their yearbook and pointing out the people they've hooked up with and them actually hooking up with the same people and laughing while drinking wine.

i fucking love the domestication of jily, of them both being soccer parents and yelling profanities to harry soccer opponents. (in chilean/mexican)

nobody will ever make me hate them. some people just don't see their potential and how their relationship isn't boring. it's more than that and could be more than that.

mother fuck, while doing research for my james potter essay for @annabtg, I came across THIS quote:

Sirius Black was, even to someone who barely knew him, SUCH a deeply good person that he was the last person you'd have thought would become a death eater. THE LAST PERSON. Not the loyal, Gryffindor-bred James Potter, not quiet Prefect Remus Lupin, SIRIUS FUCKING BLACK, the firstborn son of a blood supremacist family with several family members who actively served Voldemort.

Young Sirius Black was so full of goodness that if someone said he was going to be a death eater, Rosmerta would have thought they must be drunk.

And Remus and McGonagall and Dumbledore and everyone else who knew him so much better let him go to Azkaban without a trial, never tried to get him out, never gave this boy the benefit of the doubt.

And then what did he do when he broke himself out of Azkaban? He forgave Remus in an instant. He rejoined the Order. He trusted Dumbledore enough to willingly stay locked up again. He handed his house over to be used for the Order, welcomed people to come and go as they pleased, to stay long-term if they needed -- even Snape, who had recently been eager to have him killed. And in a matter of two years, showed Harry more parental love and support than anyone had before -- to the point of dying for him, exactly as his parents did.

So when you actually look at canon Sirius, I think it's very clear why he was the last person you'd expect.
