Beneath Notice | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_101500e | comment |
Beneath Notice: Walburga blatantly states a house-elf is this. She's completely befuddled by her sons granting Kreacher some attention - Sirius by antagonizing him, Regulus by doting on him. | |

Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_10dcbe05 | comment |
Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Sirius doesn't get along with his family; neither do they seem to get along with each other. But even though the members of the clan are more likely to show animosity than affection towards one another, they do love each other in their own way (some of them, anyway). Sirius's parents are autocratic and domineering, and their efforts to discipline their son can probably qualify as abuse. But they are also very concerned about his well-being and safety, and, despite their inability to honestly express themselves, they did miss him during the three years he was away, and long for him to return home. Sirius also finds himself, to his own mortification, wanting their approval, despite his wish to dissociate himself from the family entirely. Andromeda, like Sirius, has abandoned the Black family and is disinherited for it. But although she claims to have washed herself clean of the family, it is implied that she also misses her parents and her younger sister. Narcissa herself seems to miss Andromeda, fondly recalling to Colette about how she and Andromeda used to slide down the staircase when they were children. | |

Big, Screwed-Up Family | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_154aa477 | comment |
Big, Screwed-Up Family: The Black family issues are depicted in great detail. Having a proud, narrow-minded and oppressive tradition that dates back to centuries, this mindset are so ingrained in the bloodline that even the most rebellious and disgraced members of the family can't cleanly wash themselves clean of the family's influence. Relationships within the family tends to be exceedingly complicated as a result. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: In chapter 24, Orion "confides" to a barmaid about the "trying period" he and his wife had endured when their misguided son ran away from home, but that the son had since returned to their fold in a joyous reunion. James, who had initially invited Orion out to confront him about his blackmail of Sirius, is horrified to hear this extremely skewed accounts of the events, especially when the barmaid found herself sympathizing with Sirius's parents. | |

Title Drop | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_18d15922 | comment |
Title Drop: Lucretia mentions the "Black mask" as the tendency for the members of the family to put up an inscrutable facade to mask all appearance of weaknesses and prevents other people from knowing their true intentions. Orion is apparently the best at employing this mask—often a little too well. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: A lot of the issues and strained relationships between the family stems from the fact that most of them are too stubborn and proud to really express their feelings towards one another. This is particularly true for Sirius and Orion — when Sirius ran away from home three years prior to the story, Orion refuses to come and take Sirius back despite his father's and wife's wishes because he's too proud to show that he needs his wayward son. Sirius is similarly too proud to admit that he still wants his parents' approval and stayed away because his father won't show. | |

Parents as People | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_20989d05 | comment |
Parents as People: Orion and Walburga are far from perfect parents, and Sirius loathes living with them and being constantly reminded of how much he fails to live up to the family's standards. One of the main point of the series is to show that, for all their snobbery and bigotry, the two do care very much about their children, even if their own issues prevent them from properly showing their affection. | |

Generation Xerox | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_25bc8511 | comment |
Generation Xerox: The Foolish Sibling, Responsible Sibling dynamic between Sirius and Regulus is almost an exact mirror reflection of their father's dynamic with his older sister, Lucretia. Sirius and Lucretia are both brazen and headstrong troublemakers who remain frustratingly charming even as they drive their families up the wall. Regulus and Orion, on the other hand, are more passive, reserved and obedient. Also, Colette accuses Sirius of having bullied his brother as children, while Orion complains the same about Lucretia (and Walburga); but in both cases, the bullying is not malicious, and both pair of siblings deeply care for one another. | |

Language Fluency Denial | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_2765af58 | comment |
Language Fluency Denial: Amusingly, both examples backfire rather quickly: In Chapter 3, Sirius has to pretend not to speak English when he poses as the Norwegian Svensson. Colette finds him out pretty quickly when he fails her Impostor-Exposing Test by speaking French with an English accent. In Chapter 22, Colette tries only speaking in French to McGonagall to avoid getting in trouble for trespassing. Unfortunately they quickly ran into Slughorn who knows Colette speaks English and doesn't realize she's trying to hide it. | |

| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_2de7bbf1 | comment |
Nominal Hero: Orion, Walburga and Regulus may be against Voldemort, but it's clear that they are still, at heart, the arrogant blood purists not unlike the ones found in the Dark Lord's ranks. They are starting to get out of this mindset though (especially Regulus and Orion). | |

Honor-Related Abuse | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_4a8fd6a0 | comment |
Honor-Related Abuse: Discussed by Bellatrix when she remarks that her father should have killed Andromeda when she announced her desire to marry a Muggleborn than allow her to leave the family and breed with Ted, bringing shame to the family. She then expresses her distaste towards the rest of the family because they have grown "indolent and weak" and had fallen short of the warrior legacy established by the first Black, and believes that everyone else needs to be culled to restore the original family's honor. | |

Drowning My Sorrows | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_52488c54 | comment |
Drowning My Sorrows: Orion rarely consumes alcohol in excess, but when he shows up in Dumbledore's office in chapter 8, he's half-drunk from brandy, and then goes on to drink several more glasses when Dumbledore offers him mead. Considering how, at that moment, he's just spent the last couple of hours getting browbeaten by his father, arguing with his wife and having a screaming match with his son, it's not hard to see why he'd need the drink. | |

Jerks Are Worse Than Villains: invoked Briefly alluded to in Chapter 31 when Sirius claims he'd rather be compared to Bellatrix — a prominent Death Eater who has probably killed many people under Voldemort's orders — than Arcturus, who is rude, domineering and cantankerous, but likely isn't villainous. | |

Generational Trauma | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_53677c0e | comment |
Generational Trauma: It explores how the Black clan's Big, Screwed-Up Family dynamics impact the members at various levels. Sirius hates their parents because they constantly disapprove of his views, his friendships, etc., which conflict with their closed-minded and bigoted view of social status and blood purity, and has a chip on his shoulder because of his repressed upbringing. However, Orion and Walburga do love their wayward son despite their borderline abusive behaviour towards him, but due to their own dysfunctional upbringing, they are unable to express their love properly. Even Arcturus, Sirius's paternal grandfather, who is shown to be by far the worst abuser of the lot, is implied to have been a victim of a similar cycle since Alphard described Arcturus's father (Orion's paternal grandfather) as someone with "ice in his veins in place of blood". | |

Four-Temperament Ensemble: Choleric: Walburga—willful, scheming, and apparently rules the household with her domineering ways. Sanguine: Sirius—gregarious, charming, popular and typically the center of attention. Melancholic: Orion—reserved, calculating, and duty-bound to preserve the family honour. Phlegmatic: Regulus—quiet, unassuming, eager to please his parents, hero-worships his brother, and tries his best to keep the peace between his family. | |

Thicker Than Water: Despite their strained relationship, both Sirius and his parents care far more about each other than they'd care to admit. Orion risks his life to help Dumbledore with his missions if it would keep Sirius from launching himself head-first into danger for the Order's sake, and Sirius gets defensive when other people, such as Frank and Moody, accuse his family of being Death Eaters. | |

Land Poor: The Battancourt family, or at least Colette's branch of it, according to Orion in chapter 9. | |

Armor-Piercing Question | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_7b6e47a5 | comment |
Armor-Piercing Question: While Lily is keeping an eye on Regulus, she tells the younger man to try and make amends with his estranged brother, saying that anyone can patch things up start over. Regulus immediately asks if she's willing to do the same with Snape, if he was in the same situation, and Lily finds herself unable to convince herself with the very words she just told Regulus. | |

Disinherited Child: Subverted. Sirius believed his father disinherited him the moment he ran away, and so does the rest of the world, but it turns out he's still legally the heir. | |

Arranged Marriage | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_80621707 | comment |
Arranged Marriage: A common practice in the Black family. Regulus's absence from England has been explained with cover story that he is finding a fiancée in France. Walburga also fully intends to arrange marriages for both her sons, and has already started making plans for Sirius. In chapter 11 Sirius says that his parents were an arranged marriage, although in chapter 18, Orion says that he proposed to Walburga. | |

Ambiguously Christian | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_83902d45 | comment |
Ambiguously Christian: Most of the characters seem to be, at least, culturally Christian. First names are still referred to "Christian name", God is mentioned here and there (and not just as an expletive), and the story occasionally alludes to Biblical events as similes to describe current happenings. Sirius once even quoted the Bible while arguing with his father, and Walburga seems to believe in fate/divine providence. However, other forms of religious devotions such as prayer and church-going are noticeably absent, and the characters' personal faiths, if they actually have any, are never mentioned. | |

Double In-Law Marriage | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_882cd7d1 | comment |
Double In-Law Marriage: Discussed, but ultimately defied. When Rodolphus marries Bellatrix, the family thought about having Rodolphus's younger brother, Rabastan, marry Bellatrix's sister, Andromeda. Of course, Andromeda ended up eloping with a Muggleborn, so this never happened. | |

Ancestral Name | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_8fe7f493 | comment |
Ancestral Name: The series takes the common Harry Potter fanon that a son (especially the first born) takes his middle name after his father's given name and turns this into a Black family tradition. Hence, Sirius' full name is Sirius Orion Black, while his father Orion is Orion Arcturus Black. This is played for drama as both men struggle with the burden of sharing names with a father "they could never live up to". | |

Foreign Queasine: Walburga forces Sirius to eat pickled herring and brown cheese (a Norwegian-styled breakfast) as punishment after finding out that he had been at his grandfather's party as Svensson. Despite being appalled by its disgusting appearance, Sirius later admits that it's not that bad, though the clashing flavours weren't helping his hangover. | |

You Are Not Alone | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_d44ea142 | comment |
You Are Not Alone: In chapter 6, Sirius is feeling pretty down after being blackmailed by his father, scolded by his mentor, and because he fought with James, he doesn't even have his best friend to support him. Right as he's wondering who he might have left to turn to, however, Regulus comes in with some food and a hug, reminding him that he's not alone. | |

Dating What Daddy Hates: Sirius enjoys implying he has relationships with Muggle women. Walburga does not appreciate. | |

Idle Rich | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_deea2fb5 | comment |
Idle Rich: Although the story takes place during the first war with Voldemort, the Blacks and other pure-blood families seem wholly separate from it, simply going about their lives paying calls and attending parties like there isn't a war on. Except for the Death Eaters using the same parties as a cover to pass along coded messages. Being magical aristocrats, none of them actually have a job either. | |

Calling the Old Man Out | |
| The Black Sheep Dog Series (Fanfic) / int_e52a0409 | comment |
Calling the Old Man Out: In chapter 6, Sirius gets to call his father out on being willfully ignorant when it comes to the Death Eater activity in his family, his seemingly lack of principles, and the way he can't stand up to his own father. | |

Exact Words: As part of a way to get Sirius out of a party he crashed, Orion has Sirius use his animagus form and says he's "removing an unwanted whelp from the house. It's not even a lie". | |

In Chapter 3, Sirius has to pretend not to speak English when he poses as the Norwegian Svensson. Colette finds him out pretty quickly when he fails her Impostor-Exposing Test by speaking French with an English accent. | |
