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 was scrolling - as you do - and saw someone posting their headcanons for different marauders characters and I saw that they add some underrated characters (Alice, Frank, Bellatrix, Rita ect)
And now I feel like an asshole cause I kinda forgot about them.. so none of them have been added to my headcanon posts.. so imma add them now cause I feel bad
“But I have seen the same. I know the shame in your defeat.”
But it’s Andromeda Black with Sirius Black.
“Your mother wouldn’t approve of how my mother raised me” but it’s the black family to their lovers.
Regulus “please don’t say you love me” black.
Siurus “please don’t say you love me” black.
Bellatrix “please don’t say you love me” black.
Andromeda “please don’t say you love me” black.
Narcissa “please don’t say you love me” black.
Itty bitty waists are a very prominent feature in the house of black
Feel that thinking about writing something about them bc I find nothing about them
Hot take (everyone expected it from me)
I think more about the Black Sisters than the Black brothers
Literally the idea that Andromeda escaped!! SHE MADE IT!! Only to have her daughter killed by Bellatrix! Her own sister!! THAT GETS ME
Im that one girl who dont mess with the Black sisters
black family edits with Midwest Emo are my achilles heal 😔
Rosekiller are the kind of people to be besties with theire local takeout
(the tai takeout guy gave me 6 instead of 8 springrolls)
(i hate myself for using the word bestie)
if jily + other marauders era characters weren't in the houses they are in:
james would be a cute little hufflepuff because hes loyal af, kind (to people who deserve it) and also he is an excellent cook (my hc)
lily evans is a ravenclaw, and there is no argument for her being slytherin. a) she would probably be murdered or tortured for being muggleborn, b) she THIRSTS for knowledge (and james potter) and is extremely creative and witty and self-aware. plus shes (in most fanfics i read) excellent at charms which is flitwicks class.
anyways if they werent the ultimate gryffindor head boy/girl couple, they would be the huffleclaw head boy/girl couple that everyone adored.
sirius: he is a gryffindor fight me on this
remus: ravenclaw
peter: hufflepuff EXCEPT towards the end hes a slytherin
marlene: slytherin
dorcas: she was ORIGINALLY a gryffindor but if not then she would be a ravenclaw
mary: hufflepuff
regulus: ravenclaw
evan: hufflepuff
barty: gryffindor
narcissa: hufflepuff
andromeda: gryffindor
bellatrix: ravenclaw
