Does your muse approve of his brother's choice of friends? Asked by @proditeur 100 years ago and I will tag you in this again because it’s a Regulus Meta and I’ve added some stuff

Good Lord does Alastor despise his brothers little Death Eater buddies. Alastor didn’t move out of his family home until he was twenty-one and the ones that came over during summer holiday drove him bonkers. Regulus Back probably being the most bothersome of them all. While he has no clue of Regulus’ Death Eater status, sometimes he wonders if the others are a bad influence on Gordon and often warned his brother that he was headed for trouble. Sometimes Alastor has his suspicions about Regulus but more often than not the evidence that he has against him is circumstantial. Not only that Alastor’s mother has a close relationship with Walburga Black and Alastor rather have not stirred the pot with that kind of information, even if he had enough evidence to prove anything. Walburga had already lost/disowned one child, Alastor would not want to be the auror coming for Regulus.

For some background about Gordon and Regulus’ friendship, Gordon Moody isn’t a supporter of Voldemort or blood supremacy. He simply has an appreciation for dark magic and was sorted into Slytherin house, and suitably so. Gordon is quite ambitious and strives for greatness. He knows Hogwarts only offers defense classes and has never been overly fond of that. Gordon loves his friends for all sorts of reasons and appreciates the trades they have to offer in regards of knowledge. Gordon learns so much from them. He appreciates all types of magic and believes that even dark magic can be used for some sort of good. In addition, he believes that studying dark magic is fundamental to understanding magic better as a whole and likes to be well rounded.

While growing up Alastor, disagrees with this wholeheartedly. He has seen dark magic hurt his family, friends and Order members too frequently to want to dabble in the arts. Having a mother as a healer also influenced Mad-Eye’s perceptions of dark magic; on occasion she’d come home emotionally drained from work and shocked at the state of some of her patients. Although Alastor comes to terms that he won’t be able to sway Gordon and maybe he is right about some things. But it still isn’t something Alastor was excited to learn to practice, although later in his life and career he comes to terms with the fact that he needs to sometimes fight fire with fire.

#Headcanon; Through my eyes #Queue; Patience is the most difficult part about being human #annddd then i will do a meta about Alastor's relationship with Regulus as a death eater because trash #later but not today

Family Headcanons

👩 = What’s your muse’s relationship with their mother, what made it that way?

Growing up, Alastor was definitely his mother’s child. More often than not he could be found toddling after her and hanging on her robes. For six years, Alastor was the only child and having his mother dote on him definitely strengthened their relationship. When his brother was born his parents were as gleeful and fortunate as they had been the first time and soon Alastor’s little sister followed.Often Emily and Glenn tried to thrust responsibility upon their son, especially in regards of studying and caring for his siblings. Alastor’s mother was persistent to remind him that he was responsible for them because they were vulnerable, this definitely influenced Mad-Eye’s sense of justice and empathy. She was always loving, eager to listen and a guide to her children,even with her taxing job as a healer at St. Mungo’s.

Into adulthood, she often worried for her son’s safety as he made his way through his professional training. While his father had taken his son under his wing, Emily was far from okay with this. With Voldemort rising to power she didn’t want to lose her husband, and her son. She and Alastor often bickered about it even if Alastor knew she was in his best interest Many arguments and tears later,Emily came to terms that her son was going to live out his dream.

👨 = What’s your muse’s relationship with their father, what made it that way

His father may have drank too much and was infrequently home, but Alastor never had any doubt that his father loved him. While his father often came and went when he was at home he was at home. He played games with his boys and adored his daughter, and treasured his wife. Any moment of free-time he had was spent with his family or friends.

While Glenn was proud that his son chose follow the family craft, he understood the dangers of working as an auror and like Alastor’s mother, often worried for his child. While their relationship had always been rather steady, it became strained as Alastor became his protégé. Often Glenn was overbearing and protective and during his training, Alastor felt more babysat if anything.

This inevitably resulted in a fight with Alastor expressing that he needed a longer lead than what Glenn was giving. Hesitant, Glenn began delegating more responsibilities to his son and Alastor as became more confident on the field, their relationship began to improve again. By the time Alastor had completed his three years of training, he was closer to his father than he had ever been.

?👩‍👧‍👧 = Does your muse have any siblings? Do they wish they had more/any?

Alastor has two siblings and is the eldest. He is six years older than his brother, Gordon Moody (Slytherin), and eight years older than his sister Paige Moody,(Ravenclaw). In regards of wanting more siblings, Alastor is definitely a ‘more-the-merrier’ kind of person but having two siblings just always felt right to him.His mother always imagined that she’d more children but with their busy lives, it just never happened.

Random Rewatch Musings, S3E14:

There is nothing subtle about Grotesque; the episode is dark and moody and atmospheric as hell. But it works. Good god does it work.

Bill Patterson is a fantastic character. He exists to me immediately in the context of Mulder and Scully's world. He exudes gravitas, and so I feel connected to him in a way I never did with Reggie Purdue. Not sure if that's due to Howard Gordon's writing or Kurtwood Smith's acting, or a combination of both.

Also, that scene where Skinner asks Scully if she's worried about Mulder, and she says no, and then he asks again, "off the record", and her facade just kind of crumbles just the tiniest little bit...Gillian fucking slayed that scene. Slayed. So did Mitch.

11/10, would recommend rewatching.

#random rewatch musings #grotesque #this should be a top 10 ep for me #maybe it is
