more of them :D normally i do not care for modern aus but the concept of dea being able to read books in braille and gwynplaine getting an autism diagnosis is so appealing i am making an exception. please do not tag as body horror or anything similar [id in alt text]
i just want to put it out there that sirius black is scary as fuck from a purely physical point of view.
he’s tall as shit, has been since fifth year when he got his growth spurt, and he has tendency to loom over most people.
there’s also the matter of his poker face—it’s impeccable, untouchable. can make anyone feel like him stuck to the bottom of his shoe. he learnt it from the best in house black and it’s his default. there’s a reason people are afraid of approaching him, and are slightly awed by james’ ability to unconditionally do so at all times.
his magic is ridiculously sentient. it swirls around him at all times, often feeling suffocating to those near him. he doesn’t even notice how it swells with his emotions, rising in his defence without him having to call it. at times, it can feel like a brick wall, that’s how powerful it is. and it’s cold. people have been known to shiver and turn into metaphorical icicles around him.
and he’s also just intimidating in a—social capital way ykno? so much money, training, and status. it shows. he could be dressed in a potato sack and he’d still reek of royalty. which is essentially what the blacks are.
and this is it u don’t take padfoot into account. this fuckoff huge Grim who’s literally an omen of death, easily twice the size of any human around him, just bounding around with sharp canines on display and malice in his eyes. it’s the easiest thing to piss ur pants when u come into contact w him.
anons hc: turles is gay bc his dub va is?? thoughts??
So I'm completely opposed to that line of reasoning- the real life person is an actor who can act in various roles, and suggesting that the details of their personal life should inform our reading of a character they play seems.. problematic. For a lot of reasons.
However
I also dont see anything wrong with interpretting Turles as gay (or any of the characters as any brand of queer for that matter) and do think this particular line delivery is uuhh..
