Had this Headcannon that when Multi-Lingual Dick and Jason get drunk they start singing Ballads in Spanish. Yeah some classical shit like Vicente Fernandez but also the most wild Selena you've ever heard.

and if i said i'm working on a modern au clegan dog–play fic... then what. if gale makes a joke about getting john a collar and notices heart–on–his–sleeve john looks a little more keen than intended. if john thinks gale's joking the first time he brings up doing a scene like that, and if john ends up really, really enjoying it because it gets him out of his head on rough days, and he likes following gale's instructions, having someone else think for him...

fantastic little animal with her little treat for good behaviour 🥰

[leafie-draws]

thinking about the classist themes in Lady and the Tramp like Tramp literally represents homeless people and Lady and her friends are the bourgeois that believes he needs to be punished for his actions. like when Tramp explains to them that he's a homeless stray because his owners didn't want him anymore their literal reaction is to go "that isn't true humans aren't cruel!" and when he says your warm spot by the fireplace could be replaced with a leaky doghouse Lady becomes distraught and her friends tell him to stop talking about it. they refuse to acknowledge a reality that their wealth and comfort could be taken away and insist that Tramp is a liar and a Problem that needs to go away. Tramp also gets accosted by a cop for being in an upper class neighborhood like??? 💀💀💀

so in your fic there's Sirius/Barty Jr ship. i reread your analytics of their character and pretty understand the connection. but i would still like to read opinion about their ship 👀

Glad you enjoy my various writing!

Yeah, okay, so Sirius/Barty Jr is a little rare pair my beta reader and I came up with for a different fic that never really got written, but we liked it so much it made it into my current fic, A Matter of Chance.

I'll note that it's gonna take quite some time in A Matter of Chance until Sirius and Barty actually meet and even longer until they get together in any meaningful way (but also my writing plans are super vague, so I don't really know). So there's some waiting until that tag is gonna be relevant. That being said, why I ship them and my thoughts on the ship:

So, I wrote a bunch about Sirius, and a bit less about Barty, but they have, like, a lot in common:

They're both incredibly loyal.

They both suffered Azkaban.

The way Sirius described Barty's father always struck me as him being familiar with the situation: "should've spent more time at home" and might've been showing the bitterness towards Orion.

They both have reason to hate Crouch Sr for sending them to the dementors.

They both care about Harry (pretty shocking on Barty's part, but it truly seems like he does) and are as involved as they can be.

both of them are hands-on in their approach, of, well, literally anything.

I feel Sirius and Barty would get each other's sense of humor that's a bit on the crueler side too. They won't make the other feel guilty over stupid shit.

They also communicate in a similarly straightforward way. They say what they think pretty damn clearly when they're free to do so.

So, as you can see, they have a surprising amount of things in common. As for Barty being a Death Eater, well, I illustrated in my posts about him that I don't think he was that much of a loyal Death Eater and I don't think he tortured the Longbottoms (it's outright stated in the books he wasn't caught with the Lestranges, but with a different group of Death Eaters that walked free!). I think Barty was a Death Eater more as a teenage rebellion than truly believing in everything (though he likely isn't a fan of Muggles). Like, the way Sirius went all in on Dumbledore and the Order as rebellion, Barty did in the opposite direction.

I don't think Barty really killed and tortured many people, but unlike Draco or Regulus I think he could if he felt he needed to, he isn't as sadistic as Bellatrix (or Sirius, honestly). He's tamer but still colder and more willing to respond with violence than Draco or Lucius.

The main quote I'm basing this ship on is the entire conversation in which Sirius talks about Barty in GoF:

Sirius smiled grimly. “Crouch’s own son was caught with a group of Death Eaters who’d managed to talk their way out of Azkaban. Apparently they were trying to find Voldemort and return him to power.” “Crouch’s son was caught?” gasped Hermione. “Yep,” said Sirius, throwing his chicken bone to Buckbeak, flinging himself back down on the ground beside the loaf of bread, and tearing it in half. “Nasty little shock for old Barty, I’d imagine. Should have spent a bit more time at home with his family, shouldn’t he? Ought to have left the office early once in a while . . . gotten to know his own son.” He began to wolf down large pieces of bread. “Was his son a Death Eater?” said Harry. “No idea,” said Sirius, still stuffing down bread. “I was in Azkaban myself when he was brought in. This is mostly stuff I’ve found out since I got out. The boy was definitely caught in the company of people I’d bet my life were Death Eaters — but he might have been in the wrong place at the wrong time, just like the house-elf.” “Did Crouch try and get his son off?” Hermione whispered. Sirius let out a laugh that was much more like a bark. [...] Crouch’s fatherly affection stretched just far enough to give his son a trial, and by all accounts, it wasn’t much more than an excuse for Crouch to show how much he hated the boy . . . then he sent him straight to Azkaban.” “He gave his own son to the dementors?” asked Harry quietly. “That’s right,” said Sirius, and he didn’t look remotely amused now. “I saw the dementors bringing him in, watched them through the bars in my cell door. He can’t have been more than nineteen. They took him into a cell near mine. He was screaming for his mother by nightfall. He went quiet after a few days, though . . . they all went quiet in the end . . . except when they shrieked in their sleep. . . .” For a moment, the deadened look in Sirius’s eyes became more pronounced than ever, as though shutters had closed behind them. “So he’s still in Azkaban?” Harry said. “No,” said Sirius dully. “No, he’s not in there anymore. He died about a year after they brought him in.” “He died?” “He wasn’t the only one,” said Sirius bitterly. “Most go mad in there, and plenty stop eating in the end. They lose the will to live. You could always tell when a death was coming, because the dementors could sense it, they got excited. That boy looked pretty sickly when he arrived. [...] Wasted away just like the boy. Crouch never came for his son’s body. The dementors buried him outside the fortress; I watched them do it.”

Sirius talks about Crouch Sr and Barty's relationship. He knows a surprising lot about Barty's backstory and childhood for someone who didn't even know for sure if he was a Death Eater and only found these things out after he escaped. Like, where did he learn all this from (sure, he likely read old newspapers, but how much of this information is actually likely to be there?). He also talks about both Bartys with a certain familiarity "ol' Barty". He's dull and bitter over Barty's death, he watched the only "funeral" Barty got, probably the only "attendant" besides the dementors. And he talks about hearing Barty screaming until he died in Azkaban... Yeah, I like that angst, I'm so here for an Azkaban romance (and post-Azkaban romance).

And, like, Barty was in Regulus' year, they probably joined the Death Eaters around the same time, maybe even together. And Sirius probably didn't talk to Barty at all his own when they were in school, he had no reason to, but he knew his little brother hung out with him occasionally. And from the quote above it's clear Sirius felt sorry for him, felt sympathy for someone else he thought might've been innocent. Someone in the same situation as he is that he might've felt protective over, like he could succeded in saving Regulus this time. And Barty has no one, basically, no friends, no family, just haunting memories, a situation Sirius is so familiar with. And Sirius is like a sorta friend, he's basically Regulus if you squint (not at all but at first), they share an experience (and hatred for Crouch Sr) that could feel so isolating when speaking to someone who doesn't know. He's someone Barty could potentially trust since neither of them trusts the ministry, or Voldemort, or Dumbledore. They can be in their own little corner where they have no one (well, Harry is there, but no other adults. Remus has way more faith in Dumbledore than Sirius does)

So, imagine this: Sirius lost everyone, he lost James, he lost his brother, he and Barty are in the same boat. So, like, imagine them talking quietly through the bars, each treating the other as a Regulus stand-in even if their personalities are more similar to each other than to Regulus. This grows into somewhat getting to know each other, something that's almost friendship. A cold comfort in the coldness of Azkaban. Then, Barty seemingly stops talking to Sirius and dies soon after, and Sirius doesn't know what to make of it. After Barry dies, he starts staying in Padfoot form more and more.

And then, post-Azkaban, they gonna meet again and bond over escaping Azkaban and caring about Harry.

There'll be healing. There'll be bad coping mechanisms. There'll be a desperation for any familiar connection and a lot of dark humor. They're on the run from both Voldemort and the ministry. And, like, if anyone thinks Sirius Orion Black won't be willing to help get away from Crouch Sr's body, they don't know Sirius Black.

Like, I think they'd just get each other, but also keep making incorrect assumptions about each other at the same time all the while being desperate for what the other represents — people they lost, time they lost. I think it's a fun concept with angst potential.

They're also both incredibly intelligent and skilled wizards (Barty tricked the Goblet of Fire, which is no easy feat). I think they could see each other, eventually after they get over the initial mess of shared losses, as equals and partners in crime. They just have such a vibe, idk. Like, I imagine them pseudo-parenting Harry together, and all I can come up with would be hilarious, but also, like, surprisingly good for Harry. Harry needs more people in his life who would appreciate him for him, more people that'll raise his ridiculously low self-esteem.

Do you know who's the first character to tell Harry he has talents? Barty Jr.

“Well, I’m not going to tell you,” said Moody gruffly. “I don’t show favoritism, me. I’m just going to give you some good, general advice. And the first bit is — play to your strengths.” “I haven’t got any,” said Harry, before he could stop himself. “Excuse me,” growled Moody, “you’ve got strengths if I say you’ve got them. Think now. What are you best at?”

(GoF, 344)

Basically, I think they'd be messed up, but also make it work under their specific circumstances.

Hey seeing that Im in as a competitor for dtblr biggest DNNer, can I swindle your vote with this?

Sapnap gets surprised by how much his boyfriends love him sometimes. Sure, he himself had his fair share of daydreaming about romantic dates or looking at rings while window shopping for a bit too long, but George and Dream are true hopeless romantics.

Its almost funny how similar they are in that aspect. They both start staring at him, not saying anything, looking almost like they're trying to see past his skin into his soul

Them Sapnap would ask what's wrong, and a big embarrassed smile would spread across Dream's face, along with a deep red blush, and after a bit of prodding he would say

"I think our blood was made from the same star"

George however, would startle, looking so much like Naomi as he looked at Sapnap with his big brown eyes

Really, its so much harder to get him to voice his thoughts, but after minutes of pushing and loving banter and insults George would mumble

"I wanna be inside you"

"... like, in a horny way? We can fuck if you want..."

"No- i mean, yes kinda in a horny way, but not like that? Its like- you know- like- inside you?"

George always does that, stumbling over his words until Sapnap manages to iron out what he's trying to say, which normally ends up being something insane like

"I want to shrink down and live inside your body, to be tucked in safe inside your bones"

Sapnap doesn't get like that. But still, as he sees his boyfriends try to share how much he matters to them, and how much they matter to each other, their words spilling out messily like an artist desperately trying to paint their ideas into canvas, he can't help but feel a warmth all over his body, like Dream and George are sunlight, making happiness bloom all over him like wildflowers

My propaganda I guess o7

[beeg-bark]

pinning someone down and they're struggling against you and then they hit you with the dom stare, and so you don't really want to let go but you're excited to see what will happen so you loosen your grip a little bit and they say "you're loosening your grip" and you say "yeah i wanted to see what would happen" and they hit you with the "don't let go" with the fucking dom death stare look in your eyes so you have no choice but to obey and then they spend the rest of the time criticising you and making you readjust your grip ughhhhh

>song. indeed

my current anima character, she is a warrior mentalist, which means she's both a physical combatant as well as a psychic. her powers are mostly telekinesis (sending enemies to the moon godbless), minor telepathy, and self and object teleportation. she also has something called eternal blood, which means she, well, has no critical points. stabbing her in the heart is the same to her as stabbing her hand, and she doesn't fall unconscious when at negative health, which is both good and bad. perhaps it's related to the way most people don't tend to remember her after she leaves their sight? a mystery for sure! she loves cheese and stories and bright clothes. she's also got the, i believe, highest count of cold blooded murder in the campaign so far :')

when she was a kid, the world ended, you see. a mysterious flying city started obliterating countries, and dragons roamed the world again. one of them destroyed her home, and the only reason she survived long enough to be magically healed is because of her gift, and even so it left her without the capacity to speak. the one who saved her took her with him for a while, but eventually left her with some willing family, leaving to continue his strange mission. it's been years since then, and while she never saw him again, she's not forgotten. she knows he had something to do with the end of the world. now she roams looking for clues to learn about, well, anything and everything. so far, so good.

I was walking Arthur and we encountered a guy with a Pittie mix thing. He was screaming at it and jerking it around and forcing it to the ground for reacting to Arthur. It was really upsetting. The poor dog looked completely overwhelmed. I hate people who think they need to "show their dog whose boss." I feel so helpless seeing that kind of thing. There's nothing I can really do about it. That kind of person wouldn't listen, and saying anything could put me and my dog at risk. There's some people who are receptive to "there's another way to train" and then there's ... Assholes with bully breeds they abuse.

I put Arthur in a heel and praised and cookied the heck out of him until we got past them. Didn't want him to get stressed out by it.

Ahhh every dog deserves kind and fair treatment. Why do people suck so much.
