BIPOC PEOPLE IN THE ROCK MUSIC INDUSTRY
Post inspired by, and is an extension of this lovely post about POC emo icons by @rpf-bat. If I get anything wrong, please feel free to correct me. I’m going to try to keep the bios relatively short and sweet so I don’t write an entire essay. All my information was found from Google/Spotify search results or my pre-existing knowledge. Feel free to DM me for specific sources. Fair Use for educational purposes, no copywright infringement intended.
Acrassicauda: Iraqi metal band from Baghdad. Andy Capper and Gabi Sifre wrote Heavy Metal in Baghdad: The Story of Acrassicauda about the band’s formation and their fight to be able to play the music they love.
Tumblr media
Booboo Stewart (Vic Lakota from The Relentless in Paradise City and American Satan, Seth Clearwater from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Jay from Disney’s Descendants, among many others): Blackfoot, Korean, Chinese, and Japanese.
Tumblr media
Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine, Audioslave, The Nightwatchman): biracial- Kenyan and white (quick side note: Morello has a bachelor’s degree in political science from Harvard, which I thought was really cool).
Tumblr media
The HU: Mongolian metal band. They’ve worked with the likes of Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach (The Wolf’s Totem), Lzzy Hale of Halestorm (Song of Women), and Danny Case of From Ashes to New (Yuve Yuve Yu).
Tumblr media
Jose “The Metal Ambassador” Mangin (radio personality/host and interviewer, Sirius XM): Mexican-American. Is often hosting on Sirius XM Octane and Liquid Metal.
Tumblr media
Meet Me @ The Altar: Pop punk trio made up entirely of BIPOC musicians Edith Johnson (Black), Téa Campbell (Black), and Ada Juarez (Latinx). Three of their popular songs are Hit Like a Girl, Feel a Thing, and Garden.
Tumblr media
Nandi Bushell: Zulu and white. The twelve year-old drummer has collaborated with Roman Morello, Tom Morello, Jack Black, and Greta Thunberg on Roman’s song The Children Will Rise Up! She has also played with the likes of Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters, Roger Taylor of Queen, Ringo Starr of The Beatles, and Matt Helders of The Arctic Monkeys (and likely more that I’m missing).
Tumblr media
Joe Hahn (Linkin Park, Mr. Hahn): Korean-American. The man behind the band’s turntables and keyboard. Linkin Park’s Cure for The Itch on their album Hybrid Theory (2000) specifically highlights Hahn on the turntables within the first minute.
Tumblr media
Ayron Jones: African-American. Jones is gaining traction in the scene. Two songs of his I’d like to note are Spinning Circles and Mercy from his 2021 album Child of the State. He has toured with the likes of Shinedown (and makes a hilarious feature in one of the band’s Tiktoks) and will tour with The Pretty Reckless and Black Stone Cherry this year.
Tumblr media
BIPOC ICONS
Chuck Berry (The Chuck Berry Trio, Sir John’s Trio) Black. Widely successful, influential singer and guitarist known for Johnny B. Goode, You Can Never Tell, and No Particular Place To Go. Berry’s legacy is still deeply felt in his contemporaries today.
Prince (Prince and The Revolution, “The Artist Formerly Known as Prince,” 3rdeyegirl, Madhouse, 94 East, The Family) Black. Groundbreaking, inventive, and androgynous artist known for hits like When Doves Cry and Purple Rain. Prince has also written songs for others like Sinead O’Connor (Nothing Compares 2 U) and The Bangles (Manic Monday).
Jimi Hendrix (The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Band of Gypsys, Kings of Rhythm, Jimmy James and The Blue Frames): Black and Cherokee. Acknowledged by many to be one of the greatest (if not the greatest) guitarists of all time.
Slash (Guns N’ Roses, Velvet Revolver, Spinal Tap, Road Crew, and entirely too many others to list): biracial- Nigerian and white. He’s the guitarist for Guns N Roses, whose hits include (but are not limited to) Welcome to The Jungle and Sweet Child O’ Mine. He joined his bandmates of Guns N’ Roses Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum in the early 2000s to form Velvet Revolver, recruiting Scott Weiland of Stone Temple Pilots for vocals. He continues to release music, especially with Myles Kennedy of Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators and Alter Bridge (see Driving Rain).
Robert Trujilo (Metallica, Suicidal Tendencies, Mass Mental, Infectious Grooves): Mexican and unspecified Native American descent. Trujilo replaced Jason Newsted as guitarist for Metallica, starting as a full time recording member with St. Anger (2003).
Carlos Santana (Santana): Mexican-born Latinx. A legendary guitarist, Santana’s song Smooth featuring Matchbox Twenty’s Rob Thomas is still an incredibly popular hit to this day. A prolific part of the song is Santana’s guitar work at the beginning of and throughout the song. The riff is considered to rather iconic to rock music as a genre.
Freddie Mercury (Queen): Indian Parsi, born in Zanzibar. Mercury is also considered to be an LGBTQIA+ icon by many. He was a groundbreaking and charismatic performer (not to mention his prolific appearance and fashion). His absolute powerhouse of a voice behind Queen’s innumerable hits like Bohemian Rhapsody, We Will Rock You, and We Are The Champions earned Mercury a deity-like status in both the music industry and pop culture as a whole. He continues to influence and inspire many in the decades since his death.
To all my BIPOC beauties/handsome people:
You exist in this industry. You belong. Do not let anyone in this scene erase or invalidate you.

I have posted about the impact of Sirius on my life now. My connection to several ancient civilizations is prevalent in my DNA as evidenced through several genetic tests over the years. I truly believe we carry the spirit of our ancestors with us and I also believe we embody that spirit and have the ability to align and heal from the inside out, healing that compasses the past and future through this NOW moment.
Although I am American/ Cuban Italian/German/ Navajo Indian as recent as my great- grandparents, grandparents & parents. Immediately after that my ancestory is Mali, West African, Egyptian (Northern Africa- Tuareg , Peruvian, and Japanese) As well as a sprinkle of many other countries, that I have mentioned before.
Mali & Egypt have always resonated with my spirit DEEPLY. Many things have carried over, through many generations, as always I honor my ancestors those that are known and those that are unknown, those who have done great things and those whose contributions may appear small. Love to them all, and as the gateways of the summer continue to OPEN,
I love and honor those of my ancestors who made the earth their home, even though they knew and have always known the stars as their true home. #starseeds #galaxykiddZ #iqntfromaroundhere #homeawayfromhome #siriusenergy

Aliens anesidora length
Tumblr media
They state they have come in peace to get Humanity's help in solving an environmental issue on their world. The habitable nature of the planet will lead to over 50,000 settlers by 1990.ġ982: A ship of sick alien known as the Prawns lands in Africa and they are taken in by the Race (District 9)ġ983 : The alien Visitors from Sirius IV arrive in a fleet of 50 ships. (The Thing)ġ982: Human and Race settlements begin to spring up on Venus. The entity is later killed by a second team but as none of the teams make it back to civilization, it is decades before this incident is discovered. All nations also get a share of all technology found in the Mekon's abandoned labs.ġ982:A joint Human/Race team encounters a polymorphic shapeshifting entity capable of mimicking humans and Race in a crashed spacecraft. Venus is placed under the protection of the three major powers of Earth and the Race on Earth, with different 'protection zones' on different parts of the planet. With the death of the Mekon, the highly obedient, initiative-less Treens surrender instantly. However, Captain Nakamura succeeds in defeating the Treen invasion and - apparently - destroying the Mekon's flagship. What follows is a three-month war as the Treens' ruler, the Mekon of Mekonta, seeks to invade Earth with the help of an array of vicious superweapons and armies of Treens. Although the weapon is somewhat demanding of power, and needs to be mounted on a large spacecraft, it can do a great deal of damage to a space-borne target.ġ980: A Japanese mission to Venus under Captain Nakamura Nobuhito finds, shockingly, that the planet is not only inhabitable, but inhabited by a race called the Treens. The process will be a long and difficult one, but over the next ten years, commercial mining will begin and civilian workers and - eventually - families will arrive.ġ979: USSR tests 'Czar Skelka', the first military laser. This marks the beginning of the siting of major base complexes, industrial/extraction facilities and the first settlements. Seattle nuked by the Race in retaliation for the American attack.ġ973: The United States of America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, and the Empire of Japan agree on the division of Mars between them. The brutal war ends in a stalemate and a tense peace with The Race controlling half of Earth, the Use of Martian technology shocked the Race quite a bit.ġ962: The Race Colonization Fleet arrives and is attacked by the United States (Worldwar)ġ965: The Race-Reich War, the end of Nazi Germany. Life goes on.ġ942-1944: The Race Invasion of Tosev-3 (Worldwar). Various great powers get a hold of Martian technology. (Doctor Who/Stargate)ġ898: Martian Invasion (War of the Worlds) Humanity is soundly trounced by the Martians who are subsequently defeated by the common cold. Assume the Milky Way is much larger in this universe.ġ879: The Torchwood Institute is founded after an attack on Queen Victoria by the Goa'uld Osiris is thwarted. This is just a little collaborative thread I'm going to start it off with a little timeline of the 20th and 21st centuries, although it is subject to change an additions. Important Note: To any new readers, please read story pieces in Threadmark order, as that is set up according to in-universe chronology.

HELLO I was jw what were your favourite fics featuring POC Marauders without the shitty stereotyping 💜
Also thank you librarian for your content. Honestly this is the top tier rec blog in the fandom due to your amazing taste.
Well THIS is a great ask! It’s nice to see fans looking for authentic diversity in fics as opposed to tokenism. Just about all of these fics have been listed on various library lists, but hopefully people enjoying seeing them listed somewhere convenient. Also, this is just a VERY SMALL selection of fics featuring Remus or Sirius as POC, so if you’re looking for more of a certain representation, just send an ask!
Also, a note to authors looking to include representation (other than their own ethnicity) in their next fic: make sure that you read first hand experiences from multiple sources, research with advocacy groups, and THEN try reach out to a peer who can potentially beta/do a sensitivity read for you. It's important that we all try and learn as much as possible on our own before asking our peers to work as our educators. ❤️
POC Wolfstar
Black James & Cuban Sirius
Be My Baby by @remus-john-lupin It’s the summer of 1963, and 18 year old Remus Lupin discovers dance, love, and even himself. (A very romantic and very gay Dirty Dancing AU.)
Latino Remus
Forget-Me-Not by @halictus-writer
For someone who just woke up with amnesia and a bad concussion, Remus Lupin isn't too dispirited. He'll get through it with the help of his friends, taking it one day at a time, as Sirius says. The only (other) problem? There's something important that he's forgetting.
Retrial by phoenixgal
Remus Lupin, host of the popular podcast Retrial, decides to focus on the case of Sirius Black, a man convicted of murdering his high school best friend, for his upcoming season. Remus has gotten too close to his subjects in the past, so he promises himself that won't happen this time.
Desi Sirius
Young Hearts Intertwined by @goodboylupin
There’s a special kind of magic to a wartime wedding.
Latino Remus & Desi Sirius
A Lucky Mishap by softiejace Of course this would be just Remus’ luck - the library printer breaking when the deadline for his term paper is coming up. And to top it off, the pretty boy he’s been running into all week is there to witness his moment of misery… but maybe he can turn things around?
Sephardic Jewish Remus
Candles in the Darkness by @miraxb
In the winter of seventh year, James, Sirius, and Remus are all carrying their own burdens and fears for the growing darkness in their world. Together, they find comfort and light at the Hanukkah celebration in the Lupin household.
Half Syrian Remus
I Tried Writing Your Name In The Rain, But It Never Came, So I Used The Sun Instead by @prefectmoony
Don’t get Remus wrong. He loves his friends, he does! Loves them to the moon and back in fact. They’re his people, his favorite part of everyday, his found family. He’d do anything for them. But the thing is that doesn’t take away from the very simple fact that his friends are fucking ridiculous. Remus knows this, has known it for five years now. But it doesn’t stop him from startling awake on the morning of his sixteenth birthday surprised by the sound of fireworks exploding in their dormitory and a raucous chorus of “Happy birthday Moony!” being shouted into his ear with jaunty gusto.
Chinese Sirius
got a fascination (with your presentation) by @alifeincoffeespoons
When Remus thought of Oxford as a child, he envisioned turrets, laughter, and an unnameable, unforgettable magic. He did not envision vomiting his breakfast all over himself while standing in the halls of St. Catherine’s College.
Cut Your Bangs by @notmycatsname
"There’s something about him that catches Sirius’s eye. His voice is a little whiny, almost off-key. Sirius has heard it time and time again in the bands that Lily plays through their speakers at their apartment but it sounds more genuine, almost heart breaking, through his voice. Remus’s voice."
Black Remus, Desi Sirius & James
Palo Alto by NachoDiablo
Modern AU set in Silicon Valley. It's easy for Sirius to ignore his mixed-up feelings while he's got Remus all to himself, but when Remus starts dating again, Sirius is forced to figure things out before Remus moves on for good. Or before James and Peter strangle them both.
Japanese Remus and Taiwanese Sirius
kavaluan (means white lily here) by @claudiafekete 1926, Taiwan. Japanese empire's prized colony. Remus needed an interpreter. Sirius volunteered.
Philippino Sirius
Problems with Narrative Structure and the Rules of Manly Engagement [+Podfic] by @xinasvoice
"There were easily six hundred people living in the Paramount building in downtown San Francisco. That was a lot of neighbors to get to know, but it only took a single day of living there for Sirius to notice Remus."
Latino Remus & Japanese-American!Sirius
Discards by @picascribit​ When 21-year-old assistant librarian Sirius spots a cute hipster college student at the Seattle Public Library, he just needs to figure out a subtle way of determining whether he’s into guys. But Remus’s life is more complicated than Sirius knows.
Native American Sirius
Grimsfall by @remus-john-lupin
There is a legend in the old city of Grimsfall that a large, black creature used to emerge from the forest at night, and anyone who met its gaze would be driven to madness before the thing dragged them into the depths of hell.
Mexican Remus & Sirius
A Whole Queer County Fair by @bigblackdogfic Two queer Mexican kids talking, having sex, and feeling their feelings in Arizona.
Indigenous Australian Remus
Among The Gumtrees by WolfstarGarden Sirius inherits his uncle's farm, but finding the right farmhand isn't as simple as he'd hoped: Sirius just couldn’t help but wonder if fantasising about his straight farm assistant was maybe one boundary breach too far. On the other hand, perhaps Remus shouldn’t suck on the end of his pen while lost in thought.
South American Remus
The Delegate by @wanderingbandurria
It’s 1921, and Sirius Black is a sailor that wants to prove himself as a political agitator. He sets foot in a lost, forgotten port in South America, where he’s supposed to help with the local organization of syndicalists. He’s not expecting to meet a brown-eyed man who is there to help put his words into Spanish. A man that’s really not interested in anything but doing his job. Nothing more.
Thai Sirius
Whatever Words I Say -orphaned fic
When Remus Lupin is hired to control the antics of famous lead singer of the Marauders, Sirius Black, he knows he has his work cut out for him. Sirius is contrary and has absolutely no chill, and loves pissing off the press. Remus feels up to the challenge, but he certainly does not expect to fall head over heels in love from the moment he meets the charismatic singer.
Something Beautiful -orphaned fic When Remus Lupin’s ex talks him into a drunken tattoo mistake, he goes to his friend and co-worker Lily for help. Luckily her husand’s best mate is a tattoo artist who can help with the cover up. Unfortunately for Remus, the tattoo in in a rather compromising area, and he’ll have to get over his embarrassment. Luckily for him, Sirius Black is just the man for the job.
So many fics and yet so many more to go! As always, feel free to reblog with your own recs!

Regulus Black is Skull De Mort (P1)
A time-travel fic where after the arcobaleno curse is broken and (the still growing into their adult bodies) 10-year-old arcobalenos are flung into the past, replacing their past selves.
Except, knowing Voldemort is defeated by Harry Potter, 10-year-old Regulus (but really decades old Skull) runs from home upon Sirius leaving for his first year at Hogwarts to track down the rest of the Acrobalenos. Cue Viper and Skull revealing that the former is a squib (because ?!) and the latter is forced to reveal that he is not really a cowardly civilian but Regulus Black, a wizard, because he is really stubborn on preventing Sirius' death and he doesn't care that he has to change the timeline if he has to.
Cue...
Regulus/Skull dragging the strongest seven into Hogwarts by falsifying their magical level in order to get acceptance
Viper having a heart attack by Skull using his flames to multiply wizarding currency for the group
Reborn tailoring his robes to be a suit and refusing the ugly pointed hat for his fedora instead, Verde doing the same for a lab coat version, Fon and Lal uncaring about it aside from its lack of efficiency in movement, Colonnello thinking it's cool and ripping it by accident on the first day, Viper customizing it with a hood, and Skull making sure it's purple in colour
Regulus/Skull giving both Sirius and the Marauders a shock by appearing on the platform 9 3/4 after a year of running away from home and being missing only to return dressed entirely in purple and 6 odd friends with none of them being pure blood or halfboods except for one squib
The Acrobalenos making bets on their houses and threatening the sorting hat to put a certain member into a certain house because they have their money riding on this
Skull/Regulus standing up and openly threatening everyone in Hogwarts on the very first day that if anyone tried to lay a hand on any one of the six acrobalenos associated with him, they'll be ending up in the hospital for the second time (the first time by the acrobaleno they had offended/fought)
Reborn and Skull redecorating the Slytherin dorm/common room (also kicking out their other roommates into the common room) because Reborn is unimpressed by the dungeons and refuses to live in anything that doesn't fit his eccentric extravagant tastes and Skull is the same even if they both have completely opposing eccentric interior aesthetics (reborn threatens to kick skull out and to keep the room for himself but never does because he is a softie but he refuses to admit it, so they decided on a silver and black theme with traces of golden yellow and purple) but where did they get the furniture and paint from ???
the strongest seven discarding their house colours because Fon might be a Hufflepuff but yellow is not his colour, neither is a huge amount of bright red on Lal and blue on Verde's clashing green hair is a horror that Reborn still laughs out loud about to Verde's ire
their animal companions chilling around the castle (Oodako usually chilling in the lake) and Leon nearly eating Professor McGonagall as a cat but Reborn assures her that it's because Leon mistaken her as a threat and it won't happen again soon
Colonello's falcon Falco becoming the unfortunate mail deliverer for the acrobaleno
Reborn relentlessly flirting with both professor McGonagall and Lily but still acting like a gentleman to James' annoyance
Skull and Colonnello keeping their traditional Mafia Land annual invasion with Skull blackmailing his Slytherin House (and threatening them if they do anything outside of his permission) into invading Gryffindor House to lay out traps that triggers pranks into their dorms and Colonnello trying to find a way to defend his house by bullying the rest of his housemates into military training as if they were soliders and not his fellow students
The seven of them all speaking in a mix of italian, english, and japanese (and the occasional mind telepathy link by Viper) to the rest of Hogwarts confusion (especially Sirius, because since when did Regulus speak Italian, American English, Japanese, and Russian?? How did he get such a perfect accent in less than a year)
Reborn regularly stepping on people's robes in front of him to see them yelp and fall backward on their butts between classes
Reborn regularly watching people (but really the first years) try to climb up the moving stairs and finding it hilarious
Reborn guiding first years to their classroom in the wrong directions to generally mess with them before telling them how to get to their class correctly
Skull and Reborn regularly creating a commotion during meal time because Skull shrieks really annoying into his ear and Reborn responds by threatening him with bodily harm
Skull/Regulus trying out for Seeker once again and deciding to pull off stunts in mid air that leaves EVERYONE on the field having a heart attack
Lal and Colonnello trying out for it too only for Colonnello to get whack off of his broom by a bludger thrown by Lal who yells he needs more training to work on his reflexes in mid-air on a flying broom against a flying projectile
Fon trying out too because he thinks it seem fun but ultimately being unable to play because Reborn made one taunt at him about his lack of flying broom talent and a pissed Fon whack a bludger outside of Hogwarts with his incredible arm strength, broke the bat with the sheer force of hitting the bludger which came flying back to smack Reborn right in the face that lead to Skull wheezing in laughter as he fell off his broom and landed on a broken nose Reborn
Lal mastering the ability to cast hexes from Skull first out of the group but still instinctively whipping out the gun from under her robe to people's faces as a reply which Reborn and Colonnello also does but Colonnello has yet to master the ability to effortlessly carry guns on his body without being caught and has to carry a new rifle on him each time it gets confiscated by a professor
Verde and Reborn refusing to call the professors "professor" because they don't have their PhD, and insisting that they should be "professor" because at least they know how to do science and math and takes to mockingly calling each other "professor Reborn" and "professor Verde" while calling teachers by their first names
Reborn criticizing their teaching style and forcefully making himself the home tutors of the younger students in his house with Skull making sure he doesn't drive them to an early death
Verde being stubborn about the existence of magic and trying to use science to explain everything, Reborn actually agreeing with him but also loves to antagonize him by pointing out the existence of Dying Will Flames, while Skull state that it's both science and magic because he uses physics in his stunt works and potion is essentially chemistry and the other not caring
Verde and Viper being scandalized at the lack of internet nd technologies in this ancient castle and being determine to set one up with Viper selling access to muggle born and half-blood students
Verde, Reborn, and Skull being the nerds to the jocks in their group (Colonnello, Lal, Fon, also Skull) and their one goth (Viper) as the three nerds aims for the top spot in their year (Verde selectively aiming for potions and arithmetic)
Viper setting up a complex network of informants from inside every House and somehow getting blackmail material on every authority member in Hogwarts and the Ministry
Reborn intimidating the house elves into giving him fresh coffee in the morning and Skull shrieking in his ear about his mean treatment and forcing the hitman to grudgingly apologize to them
Regulus/Skull deciding to start a riot for campaigning House Elf's rights and roping the rest of the Acrobalenos in it even though Colonnello is a little freak out about the house elves, Reborn is in it for the sake of chaos, Fon is the polite one about it, and the rest don't really care but someone made a comment about Lal and now she's in it to destroy some bitch
Skull making Reborn use his reptile/bug speaking ability to open the chamber of secrets and neglecting to tell them about the gigantic basilisk living there until Reborn is hissing at the gigantic reptile challenging it to try and kill him as he is the world's greatest hitman, Lal and Colonnello is shooting and yelling at the thing to die for already, Fon is wrestling the end of the basilisk into place with his superhuman strength, Verde is rapidly shouting out logical ways on how to kill it from the top of his lung, Viper is yelling at them not look at it in the eye unless they want to die, and an eye-closed Skull is completely ignoring Verde's suggestion and clinging to top of the basilisk's head trying to blind the basilisk by either poking it in the eye with his wand or casting a spell
Verde immediately determine to do some tests on the dead basilisk and the Acrobalenos carrying basilisk venom on Skull's insistent in order to destroy the horcuxes in the future and Viper's warning them not to use it on anyone that annoy them
Viper selling the basilisk remains (after Verde takes enough samples to satisfy his experiments) and hording the profit from it
All of them promptly ditching their dorms to live in the chamber ignoring Reborn's grumbles of downgrading from a dungeon to an underground chamber as Skull and Verde immediately set on creating a secret staircase from the Hogwarts to the Chamber
Skull enchanting a motorcycle that he had somehow gotten which the group uses to pile up on and visit Hogsmeade on weekends/whenever they skip class

Dude oh my god I'm so happy you like poc HCs. Half Japanese and half Arabic sirius black is just y e s. And east or south asian james potter (specifically Arabic or Indian). I really want a character to be latinx (definitely not me projecting) but I cant think of any that come to mind immediately. Also!! Half Korean and half white lily. Maybe mexican remus bc I'm mexican and I love remus so much fkfbfkfbdj
YES TO ALL OF THESE!
To me, Sirius and Remus are both Chinese. I think that there’s a lot of internalized racism in there because Walburga always felt really insecure about being Asian and as a result they didn’t really get to learn that much about their heritage. It’s only afterwards that Sirius started learning more about his culture, speaking the language and finally gets over this internalized racism that his mum imposed on him.
Draco’s half Japanese because I think that would be gorgeous. Also because I’m writing a Hanahaki fic and I love the idea of him coughing up cherry blossoms and chrysanthemums.
Pansy is Chinese and absolutely badass. Luna is half Japanese/Korean, and Blaise is African American. I love Indian James Potter, POC Lily (Korean Lily sounds 👌👌 especially with that fire red hair? Like very Kpop style??) Which means Harry is half Indian, half Korean which would be gorgeous as well (though there would obviously be that racism coming from the Dursley’s and from Vernon...)
I HC Dorcas as Latina! And Benjy Fenwick is a POC (for some reason I thought Mongolian? But also African American!) Cho is Korean as well! (In Eighth year, she and Pansy go on epic Kpop karaoke sessions!) I also think Marcus Flint is Chinese/Japanese because I need more Asian HP rep!!
Seriously, I’m so happy to talk about my character hc’s ANYTIME (and I’d love for y’all to share yours!!)

Ello! I was wondering if you could help me find a fic I've been dying to re-read? It's a au story. Sirius is trans (ftm) and a Japanese American (I think his birth name was Stella) Remus is homeless and kind of hipstery and I think they meet at a library? The Potter have adopted Sirius and are also of color. I dont know if this is a good enough description or not, but I would really appreciate if you could find it, please. If you couldn't or if you didnt have the time, that's alright. Also thank you for doing this for people, it's very nice of you.
Sounds like you’re looking for this fic. :)
