I will defend Walburga for as long as I have to. Why can’t people realise that she was just as abused, actually even more so, as Sirius. She was a first born daughter in the 1920’s to two parents who had to produce an heir, her mother was a foreigner to the Black Family, her father an absent man. That little girl would have been abused until her brothers came along several years later. Does no one ever consider the fact that Walburga was put in an arranged marriage and that the entire fate of The House of Black’s survival rested entirely on her shoulders because Cygnus had only produced girls and Alphard had been wiped off the family tree. Has no one checked the dates to realise that Walburga took ten years to get pregnant with Sirius and had several many miscarriages and still births before that. Does nobody realise that this woman would’ve likely been abused by her husband for not giving him a son for those ten years. Can no one understand that canonically there is no proof that she ever laid a hand on Sirius or Regulus. This woman was being suffocated by the ideologies forced onto her, she didn’t know any better, she didn’t know love or kindness. And then in the same year her husband and her youngest boy die, most of her family is dead, Sirius gets locked and she dies in her 50’s most likely because of heartbreak and loneliness.
Wow. This actually gave me goosebumps--but then again, all of your videos do. You have such a talent for bringing to life these incredibly underrated couples and painting their stories in the most compelling light. I also loved the casting in this, especially Astoria's. This was legit the only good part of TCC. Thank you for this, as always. Every time you post my day shines a little brighter.
Thank you so much for these kind words. Your feedback means a lot, because sometimes my inspiration just...disappears. But thanks to such support, everything is getting better!
I've always loved the idea of Draco and Astoria (though you won't catch me alive reading the Cursed Child) and their possible dynamic, and I looooove this! It's always so exciting to see fanmades of them and I love the casting of Emma Mackey for her, it's the first time I see it.
One of the most underrated characters. Astoria was perfect for Draco, she was his island of tranquility! 0:58-0:59 it's so sad ((( At least he still has Scorpius. I really liked your choice of actress for the role of Tori Greengrass) Great job❤
Rhaenyra and her lovers are legit entertaining. Daemon the hottie #1. Laena the hottie #2. Harwin the Honorable Daddy. Laenor the Unbed. Crispy the Bitter (a traitor but he still managed to smash her). All this while she's suppose to be fat in the book. No wonder Alicent is so angry and bitter. (yeah yeah i know.. but it was implied in the books that rhaenyra, laena and daemon we so close they would visit each other often and its just the 3 of them and that one of this visit resulted with their kids betrothal to one another)
Honestly it's kinda ironic that their relationship in the show is just the complete opposite in the comics.. --Comic spoilers - - - - At the end of the first volume, after he shot her at the back of her head using a gun and nearly killing her, he stated, "You know I never really liked your vanya." And also in the comics Diego is the one that has a crush on Vanya 😅
