First Kiss, Blackinnon Week day two.

Sirius, to put it simply, was a player. 

He had girls running after him, and he made sure it didn’t go the other way around. He toyed with girls hearts like he toyed with his hair, he knew the game. He knew just how many girls are pursuing him just like he knew all the strands of hairs in his head, and when he combed his hair with his hands he knew he was being watched.

But one person seems to have the same amount of attention from boys.

Marlene McKinnon, to put it simply, was hot. He knew this fact because out of all the girls Sirius knew, Marlene seems to be the most interesting, the most pleasing to look at. There is just something about Marlene McKinnon that made Sirius so fascinated by her, which he would never admit.

One morning, however, when Sirius and his friends were talking about James’s favorite subject (that is Lily Evans) during breakfast in the Great Hall, James said something that seemed to irritate Sirius. He didn’t know why, it just bothered him terribly.

“D’you notice that all the blokes McKinnon had ever dated or snogged were never a Gryffindor?” said James as he chewed the last piece of his toast, “I was beginning to think Gryffindors just aren’t her type,”

“What do you mean Gryffindors not her type?” asked Sirius, failing to hold back his question.

“Well, you know, just like how guys say they prefer brunettes over blondes, Marlene preferred boys who aren’t Gryffindor,” said James.

“Yeah, like how Lily preferred boys who aren’t James,” Peter chimed in,

“Like how girls like boys who aren’t Peter,” James answered and Remus chuckled. Peter and James threw a few jokes but Sirius had a hard time listening to anything, which is very unlike Sirius. Nevertheless, Sirius shrugged off the matter and try to focus on more important matter, anything would do really. Besides, he’s a busy man.

They have a map to finish. James Sirius Remus and Peter are sitting in the library, they were discussing the map they’re about to make. They’ve been spending a lot of time drawing lines and performing spells, Sirius was getting bored.

“I cant take this anymore Prongs!” Sirius scratches his head and ruffled his hair, “Let’s go have a little break,”

“A trip to the kitchens would be nice” said Peter, and Remus answered with a huff.

“We’re close Sirius, I can feel it.” James said seriously, making Sirius groan.

“James?” said a voice from behind. The boys turned their heads to look at Marlene McKinnon standing with her bag on her shoulders.

“Can we help you, McKinnon?” Remus asked, and Marlene narrowed her eyes.

“Do you know Lilys book? The one she reads over and over again last week?” She asked, more to James than to the boys.

“Yes… But what for?” James asked her, his eyebrows raised,

“I think she may be up to something. Need to find out what it is.” Marlene folded her arms,

James stared around his friends, “Well i’m a little busy here,” He stared down to his planning of the Marauders map, then his eyes went to Sirius.

“Sirius’ll show you.”

Sirius walked along shelves of book with Marlene on his side, “Heard Mr. Prefect fancies you”

“None of your business.” She hums and Sirius ignored.

“Have you shagged him yet?” He asked “Bet you did. Where? Is it in the Quidditch changing rooms? Is it?”

“Why do you care so much of my love life, Black?” She asked and Sirius stopped his steps right in front of her. Then he leaned closer, they were breathing each other.

“I guess you interest me.” He said and Marlene looked up at him with a devilish smirk. “and the fact that you don’t snog Gryffindors, which is traitorous.”

“Jealous aren’t you?”

They were one inch apart and it’s hard for them not to just close the gap. “I have plenty of girls chasing after me, McKinnon.”

“Shame I’m not one of them,” said Marlene as she puts her arms on his shoulder to tease him. “But just so you know, I have no preferences.”

Only a few things could surprise Sirius, one of them was Marlene taking a step forward and kissing him. He liked it.

Would update if more discussions comes out. This post is not for a specific person. If the statement doesn’t apply to you, do not take it personally.

If you think Blackinnon is homophobic, think again!

Here are the facts: yes, Blackinnon is fanon. yes, we are a small community. yes, it’s heterosexual. But does that mean we hate queer ships?  No.

Some may think,  “Marlene Mckinnon is not even a background character, why on earth does people ship it? They must be homophobic.” This may be a little shocking, but accusing someone of being homophobic just based on what they ship is an act of denigration. You’re just putting hate on other people’s mouth to make them your foe, even if they have no intentions to be so.

We can ship blackinnon and wolfstar or Meadowpin. Some of blackinnon shippers actually believe those can co-exist. So what is the problem?  We can ship wolfstar or meadowpin and not blackinnon or the other way around. It’s really based on taste and what they’ve read. 

Shipping a straight ship is not an act of homophobia, nor does it make you straight. I could be gay or bi and ship blackinnon. It’s not a hard concept to understand.

I know a lot of people who hate blackinnon rant because they have a passion for their own ship, and I don’t blame them. You can ship whatever you want. But is it really necessary to bring other ship down?

If you have the need to rant and hate about a certain ship, make sure you use the anti tag. If you knew about the tag but still refuse to use it, you’re just writing rants to belittle other people in your favor. Doesn’t sound very accepting.

read more about my points on Blackinnon and sexuality from previous discussions here (x) 

Seriously, though, WHY do people ship it? 

If you genuinely want to know, then ask the person who ship them. I can’t speak on behalf of all the Blackinnon shippers because they ship it for different reasons. Some ship it for their dynamic, from the fanfics they’ve read, from the headcanons, from their view of Marlene, from their view of Sirius and many more.

For me personally, I ship them for two reasons. Their character dynamics throghout almost all the fanfics i read and, because in my mind wolfstar couldn’t work because of Sirius’s insensitivity for Remus throughout the books (i.e. The Prank, him liking the full moon, giving his riches to harry, his suspicion, etc.), and Frankly i think Remus deserves better. Shockingly, that’s just my opinion. And I have no problem with people not agreeing, but that’s what I concluded when I read the books. and the idea of Sirius having someone is nice you know? The flexibility of Marlene’s character is very inviting for everyone because they have their own interpretations.

Someway or another, you should accept that people have different opinions and interpretation. If you think blackinnon is unbelievably bad, then you do you. Doesn’t mean you have to leave a hate-post on their tag, nor should you blame them for shipping stuff they like.

Blackinnon is a very small ship. And if you hate it, you shouldn’t even bother commenting, responding, or ranting. It just makes people defend it, really. Some people love this ship and you’ve gone out of your way to make them feel bad about themselves. Why?

Marlene McKinnon is not even a a proper character

Here are the facts about Marlene McKinnon: Her name means star of the sea, she is a member of the order, her name is mentioned in Lily’s letter to Sirius, Sirius pointed at her in the movies.

A person that we know Sirius is at least acquainted/friends with makes her a blank canvas. As we all know, Sirius has no romance life in canon, so our options are very minimal. 

There are people who ship Sirius with Caradoc, Benjy, Dorcas, Mary, Gideon, Fabian, and so much more. There are less hate for them compared to balckinnon and here’s why: Marlene McKinnon seemed to be in the spotlight because she is second to Remus in terms of possible pair for Sirius. That’s it.

Some Blackinnon shippers like blackinon because Marlene is practically a walking OC. She can be whatever you want.

 But people tend to focus on the fact that she’s female. Putting that aside, Marlene is an absolute blast to read. Yes, she’s mentioned only a few times, but the whole point of Blackinnon is the possibility. Isn’t that always the case for fanon ships?

Understand the hate towards Blackinnon

When I first dive into Blackinnon years ago, all I see is hate thrown at them. The hate hasn’t stop, whether it’s from private messages or from hate-post.

The conversations I have with fellow Blackinnon shippers usually consist of the same things, “Why don’t they just leave us be?” and till this day I still wonder.

I’ve done my research, and really I wanted the results to be different. 

There are many many many ships out there, using incest, pedophilia, or other stuff, and shockingly, it receives less hate from people. Doesn’t that beg the question? 

Do people hate it because they simply dislike it or are they hating it because they have biased opinions about other ships. The truth is, (I’m going to unfilter- god protect me from hate messages) Blackinnon received a lot of hate because it’s the opposite of wolfstar. It’s straight. It’s not Remus. The audacity of people shipping Sirius with a person other than Remus! It’s the same argument for Remadora hate. More than 70%  (not all ) of the people who hate on blackinnon and remadora, I observe, is from wolfstar shippers. (Yes, I counted it. I am a math god, and in need of a job)

People don’t have as much of a problem for Sirius/Mary, Sirius/Dorcas, Sirius/ Benjy, Sirius/Hermione etc. They have a problem with Blackinnon and Remadora (I wonder why).  I’ll say it again, Marlene McKinnon seemed to be in the spotlight because she is second to Remus in terms of possible pair for Sirius.

Hating other ship to make your ship appear better is…. to be honest, understandable. But to tell you the truth, It doesn’t change a thing.

It doesn’t make me hate my ship. If your intentions on writing hate post is to receive approval from other people, I suggest you search for something else than the topic of hatred.

But, again, if you have the need for the feeling of satisfaction of speaking your opinion of something you passionately hate, then use anti-tag. It’s not so hard.

***CONCLUSION***

At the end of the day we have so much love for these characters, and our biases is only for ourselves. Can’t we just agree  that although we love Harry Potter, we can also love different characters throughout the books/movies? There are communities for everything, focus on the community you love, not the community you hate.

If you got offended throughout reading his post, I’m sorry. But let me clear things up, I do not hate wolfstar, queer-ships, etc. I just like blackinnon, as simple as that. This doesn’t prove that I’m straight, or bi, or anything. It’s just what I like. This post is a defense and obviously not a hate-post. What I ask of you is just to leave blackinnon (and remadora) alone. Thank you.

Lily: No sweetheart, I’m pretty sure that’s your job.
