regulus black is running like water. he's volatile, ever-changing, slipping through one's fingers so easily and into the other's, molding to their liking, so he can get what he wants, when he wants.
regulus black is the calm before the storm and the distant rumble of the clouds. he's the quietness before the burst, before the explosion. he's observing, not talking; he analyzes, and he knows. he knows everything, to the smallest details, of what he wants to know, of what he needs to know to get his way. he knows how to be nice, because he's never as nice as he appears to be, he's not as nice as his facade, and he knows his way around words.
his temper never flares up. he's taking his time to attack, unlike his brother, who bursts into anger and, much like a fire, destroys everything around him. regulus is like a snake; he takes in, gives in, and when the time comes, he coils himself around his victim, and, even then, he's patient, and he uses his words, sharp like blades, sharp like venomous teeth. he waits for them to give in, and that's when he does it, that's when he ends them. little by little.
he's not his parents' child. he used to be, though, but he's still bound to them. he's not like sirius, who ran away and never looked back. he could never do that, because he's their heir, chained to that house. the distancing is gradual, and it starts small. nights they don't spend with each other anymore, nights in his room, and not with them, in the dining room, laughing and whispering. he has his own secrets to whisper to the night, and, sometimes, he looks at the night sky and whispers to sirius. sirius would understand him; he always would.
sometimes, he allows himself to miss sirius. only sometimes, though. regulus doesn't blame sirius for leaving and, if he hadn't been a coward, he would have left too. he would have taken sirius' hand and gone for shelter, for a family, for love, that had never been something that the black family did. they needed an heir, though. and that was who regulus black was going to be.
he takes him time to miss, to grieve, to mourn. he used to drown in his feelings, too much to feel, too many emotions, until they numbed him. he used to feel everything so deeply when he had been little, until he felt nothing anymore. until he went to hogwarts, and then, little by little, he felt again, with every stroll out on the ground with pandora, with every joke with pandora, with every time he bickered with barty, with every night he had spent smoking with dorcas. the little things. he never would feel the same way he had once felt, but it was enough. it was enough, the love for them, and he'd do anything they'd ask of them, loyal until the end to the ones he loved.
he looked to the past sometimes, too. to what he had been, to who he had loved, and his heart ached for a little child and their brother that had been more than a brother. his protector, sirius. who wasn't there for him anymore. he'd be his own protector. he drowned them, both of them, little regulus and little sirius. regulus lived in the past, but his past would never, ever define him again. little regulus was vulnerable, but he had learnt his lesson; regulus black would never leave his guard down again, for anyone.
RB for the largest sample size this site has ever seen. it's time to put an end to this.
Remus is definitely a poor little meow meow. Pathetic sopping mess of a man. And tbh I'm totally here for it hims a baby bean. He's smol. He can lay his head on my chest and wet my fav shirt with his tears idc. I will play with his hair and kiss his head and make it all better.

Himbo simp James is the best thing that ever came out of the marauders fandom. I am so beyond obsessed with him. He’s literally the personification of this emoticon “ :D “
"In its place he wore a sapphire, but commonly donned an eyepatch as to not frighten ladies at court." 🥺
Help 😭

James Potter 🤝🏼 I was made for loving you
Remus and Hozier is so true 😭
what type of muggle music/bands/artists do you think that the trio era characters + the marauders would listen to? sorry if this seems like a weird question..
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐏 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫'𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞
Ooh, another music question! I only did the Golden Trio and The Marauders minus Peter, lemme know if you want anyone else 🌷🌿🌻
a/n: I'm not taking time into consideration...
ᴹᵃˢᵗᵉʳˡᶤˢᵗ
・The Marauders love Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees (fun fact, my Pa lived on the same street as them when he was a kid and they would play together)
・The Marauders would so reenact the scene from Mamma Mia when Donna is crying in the bathroom and Chiquitita comes on
・The Golden Trio all love Lizzo. Harry loves her confidence, Ron loves her charisma and is attracted to her and Hermione loves how uplifting her songs can be
𝐇𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐲
・Is a lot more well-versed in muggle music
・So when he shows Ron all the different types of muggle music, he understands a glimpse of what everyone felt when they were showing Harry the magical world.
・Headcanon that Harry somehow saves up his money to buy a walkman (one of those things that you put cd's in to listen to it) or a small portal radio or takes one of Dudley's many birthday presents. Anway, it's a way for Harry to listen to music. He is a maladaptive daydreamer (like us!!!) and would sneak off from the Dudley's house to lay down in the grass and have his headphones on, getting lost in music
・He has a broad range of musical taste
・From classical, to beautiful movie scores, to old music to new.
・I do think that Harry would be a bit of a metal head though, and he would love Korn, Rob Zombie, and Godsmack.
・Feels a personal connect to the song Me and the Devil by Soap&Skin. It's how he felt during the height of Voldemort's power.
・Underground !!! By Cody Fry !!! Has amazing daydreams about the song!!!
𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐞
・Like Harry, she knows muggle music a lot better than the others
・Might be a bit of a shock, but she loves Viking-esque music. Her favourite bands are Folknery and Dakha Brakha. She has gets this surge of power whenever their songs play. As if she can feel the magic running through her veins
・Hermione loves music that moves her. That has a bit of umph - so I think she would like the Alabama Shakes, specifically their album Sound & Colour
・Secretly loves Cardi B's songs (YEAH IT MIGHT BE A REACH BUT C'MON, she'd totally be in her room studying to her classical music when out of the blue Cardi comes on and Hermione is like *... okay, I can dig it.*)
𝐑𝐨𝐧
・Unironically loves the Black Eyed Peas
・And goes hard for Rasputin by Boney M.
・Would make fun of Hermione for liking the Viking/Scandinavian type of music. But Hermione only needs to give him a death glare and he apologises ...
・THE WEASLEY'S WOULD BE A DISNEY SINGING FAMILY. Harry would show them all the classics (I mean, I doubt that the Dursley's let him watch much tv. But maybe they just sat Harry in front of the tv for most of his childhood???) The Weasley's reference the movies to each other all the time, and Harry feels a sense of pride because he's shown them something from his world
・Would follow a lot of the popular trends and have pride in knowing the words to all the popular songs.
・Fred & George walked in on Ron White Girl Dancing to Stargirl Interlude by Lana Del Rey once
𝐉𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬
・Bad Reputation by Joan Jett
・I Was Made For Lovin' You by KISS
・Likes a lot of the classics
・Holding Out For A Hero!!! Would absolutely belt it in class and jump up on the tables thinking McGonnagal wasn't in class:
"That was quite the performance, Potter. Now sit down. And I'll be seeing you every night for a week's detention."
・Would definitely sing ABBA's When I Kissed the Teacher for McGonnagal, and it would make her blush but also another week of detention (he got on the table again)
𝐒𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐮𝐬
・Loves belting out I'd Rather Go Blind by Etta James. It gets him in his feels.
・Really fell in love with the 60s and 70s era of music. Some of his favourite singers are Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and Nina Simone
・You Know I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse! He'd become obsessed with her. He feels truly connected to her music because of how alone he feels in the world
・Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood by Nina Simone would bring him to tears the first few times he listens to it
・Music was a way for Sirius to escape into his own world while at the Black household
・Created playlists for the people he cares about. They're songs that 1. he thinks they'll like 2. songs that remind him of them 3. songs that represent them
𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐮𝐬
・Loves David Bowie!!! Definitely would want to dress up as him for Halloween (can you imagine a little marauder halloween party??)
・HOZIER HOZIER HOZIER HOZIER. Oh my god, some of his favourites would be Cherry Wine and Sunlight. The soul, the guttural... umph that Hozier has with all of his songs. It moves Remus every time. The lyrics would mean so much to him.
・His taste in music is songs that make him feel connected to the artist or what the message of the song is
・Always has the radio on at home, while being a professor at Hogwarts etc
Ok so this is like my third matchup by the lovely @witchthewriter because my ADHD ass cannot do anything in moderation
I absolutely adore the first and second and I just know I'll adore this one too
I love her work and definitely think if anyone who comes across this post decides to check out her fabulous page they will as well
She covers such a large range of fandoms and most of them are pretty popular so I do think that there is something for everyone
Not to mention the astrology lessons and variants of Greek gods and goddesses like...YES
Definitely one of my favorite blogs on here and I definitely think you should go check her out
