🧠 (sirius!!! and james pls). 🤩✅🤯 YAY
hello!!! also comprehensive! thanks very much for these :D
🧠 Pick a character, and I'll tell you my favorite headcanon for them.
sirius has a scar on his chin from when james punched him hard after his poorly thought-out stunt with snape. it's small, barely there, and he can get rid of it with magic, but he keeps it there as a reminder of what he had almost done. he's let his hatred for snape and desire for retribution cloud the very real and terrifying fact that he had almost exposed his friend, his brother.
at some point, james decided to actually try forgetting about lily and started dating someone by the name of charlotte fairchild (any story i've written where james is in a previous relationship, it's always with the same character. she's not even canon, i don't think) but that proved to be unsuccessful (at this point either charlottes honestly tells him it's futile effort or charlotte ends up becoming a backstabbing girl and betray him).
(i also have like a thing of unrequited love so hence this particular headcanon)
🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?
sirius just because i love him lmao. he's my bias sdlflksdjflksdj but he's also one interesting character to explore, like, being morally grey, and being complex, and always having this shadow of evil always lurking behind him even though he's obviously a good person and was trying his best to be a good person. sometimes that evil wins, like when he was bullying snape in hogwarts, but he makes sure that good wins. gosh i hope i made sense.
okay but also, this is going to sound strange, the lesser known characters are also fun to write. so like benjy fenwick, for example. it's more of the possibilities of what i can turn them into that makes it fun. i mean yeah they have established fanon traits, but it's always fun to explore how i see them specifically as characters? so like, for instance, for me benjy fenwick's the golden boy of hufflepuff, like the cedric diggory before cedric lol.
✅ What's something that appears in your fics over and over and over again, even if you don't mean to?
characters ending their dialogue with "yeah" lmaooo.
i try not to, it starts making everyone sound the same, but i can't help it. it's gotten to the point where i do it too now, in real life lol.
🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)?
COMEDY. COMEDY because like... my humour, whilst super unhinged and broken and utterly disgusting (not that that's a good thing. i don't even know why i framed it as a good thing dsklfjsldk im sorry), is not something i can translate well in writing. like, i have humour, but it's too beyond comprehensible to use and write into a story.
and this goes with any kind of comedic writing. so comedic scenes, jokes, clever pranks, quips, puns... any kind of comedic writing at all.
that's not to say i won't try, but i'll probably limit it to a paragraph or something.
horror is a close second in terms of... scares, if that makes sense. i feel like i can do the atmosphere enough, cause i'm good at over-describing, but when it comes to the scares itself i can't. i'm too marshmallow and potato for that.
