✨🩷Parvati and Padma Patil at the Yule Ball🩵✨

This was by far the biggest challenge and the biggest fun to make. I wanted to do these girls justice, because as we all know, the film costumes were atrocious. BUT, I want to say that just because Parvati and Padma have Indian heritage, it does not mean they would wear a sari to the Yule Ball. In the books, they wore robes with gold bracelets (read: bangles). So, I explored different options for their dress robes. I imagined they received the dress robes in the post by their mum. And she had lovingly put the outfits together for her girls, passing on jewellery that had been in the family for generations, finding their new homes with the twins. Bangles and hair clips and necklaces and earrings. Gorgeous pieces they wore at the ball with pride.

My personal favourite design is 2. What are your thoughts?

Final note: hot pink and turquoise are not exactly my favourite colours to work with. So, that too, was a challenge. I’ll be happy to leave the pinks, purples and turquoises with lavender and the Patil twins for now :)

One thing it hit me when I was scrolling through Harry Potter stuff and I was like, "Oh lord....how did they survive 7 years in Hogwarts" and it was "HOW THE FUCK did the Patil Twins and Cho Chang like not freak out at the fact that Hogwart's Food had no Rice or Noodles"

Like Hogwarts is British, the amount of Rice they are going to get would be from Welsh Rice Puddings, Irish Dunmurry Rice and low chance of Cornish Game Hens with Wild Rice Stuffing, but OH HELL NAW there are no Noodles.

Cho Chang and the Patil Twins must be screaming internally being like,

"Where the Fuck is my Briyani?"

"Where is my Mala Xiang guo when I NEED IT?"

"What do you mean there isn't Chongqing Mian?"

"They don't even have Tikka Masala? WTF?"

And so in Every Fibre of my being, my headcanon is that the Patil Twins and Cho Chang hang out at each other's Houses so they can finally get their Asian Food.

They also make Electricity or Steaming spells to run a Rice Cooker or just Steam a bowl of Rice they got from a bag of Rice and packets of Noodles they brought from home.

Imagine waking up in the Middle of the Night and it's just Cho Chang studying near the Fireplace while having a whole set of Guò Qiáo Mǐxiàn, like she got a platter of Quail Eggs, Ham Slices, Chicken Slices, Vegetables, Rice Vermicelli and a pot of Hot Boiling Soup from her Cauldron Levitating over the fire in the fireplace and just looks at you and be like, "Sup"

Can't help but think about how the women girls of Harry Potter treated whenever I listen to 'because i liked a boy' by Sabrina Carpenter.

I mean of course there's Lavender and the Platil twins, but there's also Ginny & Hermione in the fandom, the mothers being fixed as mothers with nothing more (I don't even need to mention how we don't even know anything about Lily Evans that isn't centred around a boy while Snape and James get CHAPTERS of information)

This barely even mentions fandom and how they're treated

[mssr-crumpled-paper]

My Harry Potter is a girls' girl, I just know it.

Somewhere in my mind's eye I can see the Patil twin teaching him the desi hair care he unfortunately missed out on (and desperately needed).

Turns out his rats nest was just thick untamed curls.

[ronsharry]

harry james potter head-cannons ! ★

he has a resting bitch face and he looks so mean until he smiles bc his smile is just so kind and soft and RARE.

harry NEVER takes off sirius’s leather jacket it doesn’t matter what weather conditions that boy will be wearing that leather jacket.

this man is always cold but never complains or tells anyone.

he keeps every. single. gift ANYONE has ever bought for him.

after the war he only became an auror because he FELT like he had to, he lasted a few months before he disappeared for a year or two and came back and became a DADA professor.

he’s lactose intolerant

this guy looks like he’s about to fall apart all the time and he is about to.

he actually likes gossiping when it’s not about him lol

harry got tattoos for james, lily, sirius & remus

he’s indian and growing up he never could connect with his culture bc of the dursley’s but the patil twins taught him about everything and they’re actually really close friends.

this probably happened in sixth year when ron + lav we’re together and hermione spent most of her time in a bad mood and at the library. and he and parvarti was standing together just watching them make out for a sec and they were like f this and dipped. (I HAVE MORE HEADCANNONS ABT THIS FRIENDSHIP ILL MAKE ANOTHER POST)

harry and luna understand each other like nobody else does.

mans loaded so he literally SPOILS his friends.

he’s the number one romione shipper.

can fall asleep anywhere

when deamus are on and off and romione are PINING for each other harry and nev try to give helpful advice except nev is like “maybe taking a break wou—” “um no?? aim a bludger at him.” (i got this idea off @cheersprongs on tiktok btw !)

AND HE WOULD MY GUY WAS PLOTTING FOR GINNY.

hates tomato ketchup.

remus gives harry sweaters as random gifts especially in the winter and harry wears them ALL THE TIMEE

easily wins all try not to laugh challenges (he tries so hard when it’s ginny trying to make everyone laugh)

he’s killer queen

he struts. just like james did

THATS ALL BYE !

[overheard-at-hogwarts]

Pansy: Ugh, I told the Patil twins that rumor in the strictest confidence. Some people are such blabbermouths!

[lexisflexis]

This was the original, non-Holi version. I added the extra colours as an afterthought, and now can’t decide which version I like better!

[sp1rit-realm]

JAMES POTTER IS NOT INDIAN AND SIRIUS BLACK IS NOT ASIAN. BOTH OF THEM ARE WHITE. I DON'T GET WHY YOU GUYS HAVE TO ALWAYS PUSH YOUR RACE ONTO EVERYTHING BUT YOU SHOULD LEAVE ALONE CHARACTERS THAT ARE WHITE. THERE'S NO NEED TO MAKE JAMES INDIAN AND SIRIUS ASIAN. YOU ALREADY HAVE CHO CHANG AND THE PATIL TWINS. THATS ALL YOU NEED

Wow! So many words when you could have just said: "I'm racist and I hate you."

#1 You really didn't need to say "Indian and Asian." You could have just said Asian (or do you not know that India is part of Asia?)

#2 Typing the words "You guys"—which, in this context, is synonymous to "you people"—reading over those words and then thinking: "Yeah, this is okay for me to say" is absolutely outrageous.

#3 I will continue to "push" my race onto things because I didn't have East Asian rep. growing up. There were racist caricatures, very stereotypical East Asian characters (smart, studious, wears glasses, etc.), and East Asian characters where their race was never explored.

#4 Cho Chang is a racist caricature. Her name is Cho Chang. Her name is comprised of two East Asian surnames. And, get this, Cho is a Korean surname while Chang is a Chinese surname. JKR couldn't even choose two last names from the same fucking ethnicity. Cho Chang is not "all EA people need" and the Patil twins are not "all SA people need" in representation. They are far from it.

#5 From the age of FOUR I remember experiencing Racism. I was told that my "chink eyes" and my "ugly wide Asian nose" made me unlovable. I was told my food was gross and weird. I was asked if I could see when I smiled. I was told I looked too white to be Asian but too Asian to be white. I was an outcast because of my race; and I will not sit here and let you tell me to stop headcanoning characters as Asian. I will do as I please because I am taking back what was stolen from me. I am taking canonically white characters and making them Asian, because I fucking can.

Do you feel more comfortable hiding behind that anonymity when you're actively being racist??? Come off anon and let's have a real talk.

Padma Patil on her wedding day. Summer 2003. Taken by Parvati Patil, struggling not to cry.

[animezinglife]

Of all the gorgeous Indian clothing out there...why those outfits?

They did the Patil twins so dirty, but honestly, between the boys being complete douchebags, the random background girl crying on the staircase with her friends comforting her, and Ron and Hermione being complete psychos towards each other in front of everyone, I’d say it’s a pretty realistic depiction of a high school dance.

[saintdoodledstars]

Another boring gov lecture, another batch of marauders doodles

Remus (I'm still messing with his design) and Mary

Marls <3 I forgot to draw the rest of the broom but she's flying

Remus braiding Sirius's hair and another of Remus

Padma and Pavarti Patil's mom, I like to call her Eshaan.

[ameliathefatcat]

Padma and Parvati Patil and their best friends Sarah Hart and Lavender Brown

Sarah usually wears a bandanna because she has extremely large ears and she hides them. About Sarah and Lav’s necklace. Lav wears a cross since she’s catholic and she got her necklace when she visited the Vatican along side her gold necklace. Sarah wears a ‘chai (הי)’ necklace

[rewritingcanon]

Definitely agree with the Pansy thing in your last post. Like, there’s four other underdeveloped Slytherin girls in the background ensemble to develop (Daphne, Tracey, Millicent, Astoria) and. It’s always just Pansy… (and if it’s Daphne, then. Well. It gets weird.)

exactlyyyy give some other slytherin girls more development they deserve it 🙁 pansy is not the ally people she thinks she is guys….

but i do ubderstabd people choosing to interpret her differently for fanon reasons. no one likes racism and she was draco’s friend (as well as blaise’s???) so draco fans might want to change her a little to fit their own ideas of the characters. as long as they can recognise the source material i dont have a problem really.

but it will always be weird that pansy is more developed than any other female side characters in fandom when she is like that in the books. not even just the slytherin girls (because i guess pansy had more page time than the other girls) but even the gryffindor girls. fandom can you please turn your attention to angelina johnson please i beg!!!

[olivers-cocoapuffs]

I have this head canon that Desi Harry doesn’t know anything about his culture cause his parents are dead and obviously Petunia and Vernon aren’t gonna teach him anything but then he gets to Hogwarts and meets the Patil twins.

-The Twins’ mum sends them home made food sometimes and they share it with Harry

-The three of them get Diwali off so they spend it in the Patil household (they start in first year and do it for years after they graduate)

-Harry is taught how to make traditional meals by Mrs Patil

-Padma and Parvati have an older sister who tells them stories

-They act like siblings (make fun of each other, hang out, are super protective)

-They hang out at Hogwarts too. They sit on the grounds gossiping, doing schoolwork.

-They do mehndi on each other to practice

This doesn’t even scratch the surface of the list of head canons I have for them in my notes app 🫠

Happy Friday! For the Five Sentence Ficlet: gen, the Patil twins & the Weasley twins

Happy Friday, scarlet! 💛

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Miss Padma Patil is not, generally, a petty person; however, she's more than willing to make exceptions, especially after Miss Cho Chang took such pangs to loudly announce to the Ravenclaw common room that Mister Cedric Diggory, the real Hogwarts Triwizard Tournament Champion, asked her to be his date to the Yule Ball, before snidely saying with faux concern, "I can help you and your sister get escorts, Padma, since you don't already have them."

Usually, Padma never speaks less than the absolute truth, but, last night, in light of the circumstances, she found herself saying, "It's sweet that you're concerned, Cho, but Parvati and I were asked to the Yule Ball the day it was announced," before swanning out of the room, leaving stunned silence in her wake.

Parvati is the Gryffindor, but that doesn't mean that Padma isn't brave, so she marches right up to Mister Fred Weasley the next morning and says, "Are you interested in pulling a prank on all the prissy purebloods at the Yule Ball that will send all of pureblood society into a tizzy of horrified whispers and gossip?"

Fred's grin grows wider with each word she speaks, until it almost swallows his face, and then says, "George and I are in; tell me everything."

Padma smiles with saccharine sweetness and says, knowing exactly how society will react to the thought of two sets of twins bonding together, a four-fold of magic that would make them more powerful than an Oligarchy Lord, "You and your brother will escort Parvati and I to the Yule Ball," and relishes in Fred's cackling, delighted, instant agreement.
