On Fascism, DEs and Dumbledore

I really think we should be talking more seriously about how dangerously close to condoning fascism and actually villanizing those who oppose it we are getting as a fandom, especially on TikTok and especially when we talk about the Marauders Era

Anyone interested in my rant/book and characters analysis?

DNA Guarantee by Kodi Rhianna is Black Family coded

- more under the cut -

The first stanza gives me the vibes of Alphard, Andie, and Sirius deciding to leave and begging for their siblings to follow. The Black family drains everything unique about it's children and makes soilders, and those three didn't want to be. They tried for so long to change (beating a long dead horse) but being apart of the Black family is a life sentence.

The chorus is everyone. All of them are trapped in a cycle until they break it. "Never your baby, just a maybe," they never had kids to have kids. It was always for heirs. The Blood purity, so forth eeee

The middle stanza is Sirius and Regulus and Walburga.

It's between them and Walburga in the first part. Sirius and Regulus reminding Walburga of Alphard and herself - one trapped and lashing out and one desperately fleeing. Its also difficult because of how similar all three are - forced into positions, unhappy, lashing out. I would image that if they interacted as older, Sirius and Walburga still would have issues due to this. Even if she doesn't or didn't hit them with her hand, spells and words do it best.

It's between Regulus and Sirius in the second part. The dogs biting the bone is Sirius messing everything up with Remus and the others. "Daughter bites her words," Regulus not coming out as FmT for years due to fear. "Fight like wolves, then flee like birds," Whenever the brothers fight it's always vicious, pulling at old wounds and cruel - like their family. Then they both realize, fleeing before the other says something. "From the save pack but rivaling herds," the brothers come from the same family, but in the end have vastly different friends.

I also just imagine that when it doesn't get physical, the family does have screaming matches often. Cops would be called, the whole thing. Very early the kids learned they could use their words effectively against each other even if they couldn't against their parents. I imagine that while close, the boys and girls had a battle of shouts at least once a day (then sneak each other treats to make up for it.)

I could also imagine Sirius and Regulus trying to settle into the Potters and realizing how intertwined their family is in them. And also Reg and Sirius have to stomp to the back of the garden to have their arguments - they cannot not have them, because then they get waaaay worse.

i have an itty bitty headcanon for one sirius orion black iii that i’d like to address if that’s cool?

sirius, as he grows up, fears his mother less and less. she’s awful, absolutely abhorrent, and merlin knows that will never change, but what can she do to him that she hasn’t previously? he’s not naïve enough to believe there isn’t a world of pain out there that he hasn’t experienced, but the weathered corner walburga rules is familiar and unchanging. walburga has never been soft in her discipline, and her anger is predictable as he grows.

if he were to face a boggart, he would see himself. not as he is, of course. sirius has shed blood, sweat and an insurmountable number of tears to be exactly who he is and fuck it if he isn’t comfortable in the skin he’s sewn himself. no, his boggart has succumbed to the black family madness, and that is what sirius fears. that he cannot escape his family, and instead becomes another copy, another mindless clone that thrives off pain and fear and chaos. this inheritance is the only truly unmovable force that could drive him to being just another black.

that is what sirius fears. what is to stop him from hurting his true family and his favoured parents and his brothers, if he is descending into the same spiral of insanity that has taken his mother, his cousin and who knows how many other relatives?

sirius knows, and the odds are not in his favour.

this is what sirius fears.

Walburga notices regulus wince for every step he was slowly climbing. She bends down and picks him up.

It's seems we have our moments. Even the worst among us.

Sirius Black was a carbon copy of his mother everywhere from his physical appearance down to his mannerisms and this is exactly why they clash.
