If an animagus potion requires the brewer to hold a mandrake leaf in their mouths for a month, imagine James, Sirius, and Peter…going silent for a MONTH.

After a week alone all of the students at Hogwarts would be SO on edge.

*MANGA SPOILERS AHEAD*

Since I'm on [redacted]'s backstory, there are a few echoes in those chapters that are... well.

Like this one:

Right - children at play. Left - men at war. [redacted] wins at both. But he also doesn't. Because '...how many thousands of bodies...'?

Right - [redacted]. Left - also [redacted]. Maybe he was born for this? Maybe he's always been a shadow? No. No one is born for this.

Top - little boy seeing his childhood in ruins. Bottom - little girl seeing her whole world collapse.

And the anime really drives it home. Good for them. But also, stop trying to make us cry!!

I have cannot exactly explain why - maybe it's because of the smouldering ash heaps that are tributes to war - but when [redacted] tries to convince himself he knows Ostanian's evils, I've always associated it with...

...what Handler tells the student terror cell in Doggy Crisis Arc. And given the gist of what Sylvia is saying - that war makes monsters of us all, that when we see others as less than human, we become less too - I think we're probably suppose to link the two images. Which, err... it may or may not say a lot about Twilight without the manga saying anything out loud. The imagination fills in the gaps.

The past and the present are for better or worse, very much intertwined in SxF (and I guess, in the real world too). But that's the thing - those echoes and rhymes are disconcerting because it means it doesn't take a lot for the present to repeat the sins of the past. Hence Handler's rhetorical question to the university students...

Did not expect that last post to get that much love, thanks guys :) I’m wrapping up my exams and another commission, but for now here’s a colored version that I made a couple weeks ago.

Ewen: Have fun on your date!

Emile: Wait, they’re dating now?!

Becky: *Sob* My children grow up so fast.

James, proud: Look, Reg, I drew you!

Regulus: That is a cat.

James, beaming: Yes! :D

Regulus, trying hard not to smile, blushing, hiding his face in his hands, realising his cold-hearted facade is crumbling down:

Barty to Evan, from afar, horrified: He's breaking Regulus

Evan, doing wand-spinning: How dare he

[ketchupspeed]

james: i dare you-

remus: nope. he isn’t allowed to take dares anymore

sirius: apparently i have ‘no regard for my physical, spiritual, or physiological safety.’

UNINTELLIGIBLE, that I'm telling you.

It's not easy birthing a child... It's not easy.

What are you going to do with your children? What will you give them?

Where is your husband?

[ketchupspeed]

remus: would you rather be pretty or funny

peter: pretty

james: funny

sirius: i don’t think i can choose… good thing i’ll never have to!

[ketchupspeed]

i fully believe that James could not tell McGonagalls animagus form from any other cat so he just treated every cat like it was her

[ketchupspeed]

Death Eater: Listen here, pretty boy-

Sirius: You think I’m pretty?

Death Eater: It’s an INSULT, idiot.

Sirius: You think being pretty is an insult? Oh honey, who hurt you?

…An hour later…

Death Eater, crying: And then my father threw out all my dolls-

Sirius, patting his arm: Let it out, let it out.

[ketchupspeed]

ellen: so i heard you wanted loving parents

sirius with euphemia and fleamont potter standing behind him: oh my god! ellen you didn’t!!!

snape: caffeine no longer keeps me awake while i work, so instead i have minerva periodically send me texts saying "we need to talk"

snape: it gives me the right about of adrenaline and fear to keep going.
