sirius black headcanons once more
would absolutely not vape, he only smokes cigarettes. only smoked hookah when he meets up with james
his smile is more of a smirk than anything, and his natural smile is downturned
afraid of attachment and commitment, because whenever he got attached to someone, he got attached so much, and he got hurt
has this really haughty beauty to him
likes tinkering with stuff, breaking it apart and then putting it together. he found himself to be very drawn to mechanics
cracks his knuckles and plays with his fingers when he’s anxious or nervous
doesn’t like reading books that someone makes him read, but will read books that he likes and that interest him
has absolutely no sense of shame
doesn’t really care about a lot of things, but when he does, he cares deeply, and he lives deeply, with his whole heart
his favourite genres are horror and thriller, and he only interacts with romance through remus (since that is his favourite genre)
his nail polish is somehow always chipped
would post thirst traps with the caption “look how stupid you look when you do this” yet he looks hot doing it and people are obsessed
shuts out his feelings a lot
tall, and has really long legs. compared to him, remus is just tall enough for sirius to give him forehead kisses

Fuck internalized gender roles.
For the longest time I've thought I'm a Morticia in our marriage cos I'm the wife (nb afab). And don't get me wrong, I'm happily married, but there has always been this feeling that I'm not very good at being Morticia. I love my husband so much, I wanted to give him so much more than this sorry excuse of a bootleg goth wife.
Then one day I was grocerie shopping and I saw this absolutely stunning bucket of flaming red and orange roses. At that moment I realised I'm in fact a Gomez and my husband deserves all the beautiful roses in the world and more cos he is my Morticia, the love of my life, the air in my lungs, the everlasting madness in my heart and mind.
I gave him the roses and I'll give him more, and I keep lovin' and worshipping him all eternity and beyond. And there is no more self doubt cos now I know that I am Gomez.

I saw a post about racist Jasper stans bitching bc they’re not able to enjoy shitty J*sper content bc of tags or whatever lol and someone said: “What is there even to enjoy?”. I had to laugh and I thought if you bc it’s so true. Most Jasper content isn’t even that enjoyable. It’s mostly the same boring white-supremacist garbage that I’ve seen before; even the jalice stuff is played out.
The only J*sper content I enjoy is content where he is worshipping Maria, thinking about Maria, talking about Maria, loving Maria, doing anything for Maria tbh. Is that bad? XD I owe it to you and your writing! idk something about a 19/20 year old dumbass confederate falling madly in love with a native brown woman and literally seeing her as a god-like figure as she’s basically handing him his karma for his racist crimes sends me. Ppl act like he was this awesome person before Maria and that it’s her fault he’s gutter trash now with the C*llens but he was gutter trash BEFORE he met Maria. She honestly made him so much better, stronger and MUCH more interesting. She literally created the man these stans thirst over so much. She is the blueprint.
the thing anti-María Jalice stans don't get is, without María, you do not have Jasper. for everything Jasper is, María is the catalyst ❤️
canonically, all we know about Jasper Hale pre-change is 1) he was born in Texas, 2) faked his age to join the Confederate Army* where he became the youngest major in Texas, & 3) was persuasive
beyond that, María made Jasper into the man the fandom adores. you like that he's an empath? guess whose venom made him one. you like that he's a warmonger? guess whose war he fought for. you like that he has a troubled past? guess who put the trouble in it. you like that he's "soft" "empath" "baby" (tbh i don't see it but ok)? guess who made him want to be that way. you like that he's submissive to Alice? guess who broke him in first.
you want Jasper with Alice but wish the María era didn't exist? lol just say you want the hot faceless Confederate to get with the psychic Mississippian & go
as for me, MARÍA ALL DAY BAYBEEEEE
here we have a woman who has suffered all her life at the hands of colonizers. born "1800s or earlier," we can suppose she has firsthand experience with colonization (at least Napoleon's invasion) & lived through Mexico's War of Independence. i.e., she has a deep familiarity with what it means to have your way of life ripped from you by invaders. PLUS she was a victim of Benito's army in the Southern Vampire Wars; her entire coven including her mate was killed.
& despite her losses, she rallied to take back her land & drive out her oppressors. baseline, she is a strong, cunning, powerful indigenous woman with a deep love for her community and her people. HOT
now let's look at Jasper, a bright leader in the Civil War who suffered defeat at the hands of the Union army. yes, María changed him. but did she force him to stay? to go to war? the newborn vamp with the strength & speed to overcome a "grown" vamp chose not to do so. the empath with the power to make anyone disregard him chose not to use it. some say María was "abusive" & "manipulative," but few acknowledge that Jasper had a choice.
why didn't Jasper leave? because he's submissive to anyone more powerful than him. because he was a loser. because the Southern Vampire Wars gave him a second chance at victory. because "empath" or no, he wanted to play war & win.
that's what's compelling about Jasper/María. as wrong as Jasper was for fighting for the Confederacy, he believed he was fighting for the same thing as she. he saw his way of life destroyed by "invaders" & fought back. it's a sick & twisted parallel between oppressor & oppressed that becomes subverted as their relationship goes on... & one that can heal them both.
María's experience with colonizers gives her a visceral picture of what it means to be oppressed... but her relationship with Jasper gives her the victory & emotional reflection she needs to move on. Jasper's military training gives him the hunger & knowledge for war... but his "curse" of empathy provides him with the tools he needs to recognize & address the horrors of his problematic past & move on.
tbh, i find Jasper & María are perfectly suited for a delicious character-driven narrative. Maria's story is that of a traumatized indigenous woman on a path from colonization to decolonization, & the sacrifices & destruction she endures realize that vision. Jasper's story is that of a troubled man on the path from self-hate to self-love, & what it means to undo the societal teachings/traumas & forge a life of empathy & forgiveness.
& that is something Alice alone can never give Jasper.
tl;dr all hail Queen María
