The first stanza gives me the vibes of Alphard, Andie, and Sirius deciding to leave and begging for their siblings to follow. The Black family drains everything unique about it's children and makes soilders, and those three didn't want to be. They tried for so long to change (beating a long dead horse) but being apart of the Black family is a life sentence.

The chorus is everyone. All of them are trapped in a cycle until they break it. "Never your baby, just a maybe," they never had kids to have kids. It was always for heirs. The Blood purity, so forth eeee

The middle stanza is Sirius and Regulus and Walburga.

It's between them and Walburga in the first part. Sirius and Regulus reminding Walburga of Alphard and herself - one trapped and lashing out and one desperately fleeing. Its also difficult because of how similar all three are - forced into positions, unhappy, lashing out. I would image that if they interacted as older, Sirius and Walburga still would have issues due to this. Even if she doesn't or didn't hit them with her hand, spells and words do it best.

It's between Regulus and Sirius in the second part. The dogs biting the bone is Sirius messing everything up with Remus and the others. "Daughter bites her words," Regulus not coming out as FmT for years due to fear. "Fight like wolves, then flee like birds," Whenever the brothers fight it's always vicious, pulling at old wounds and cruel - like their family. Then they both realize, fleeing before the other says something. "From the save pack but rivaling herds," the brothers come from the same family, but in the end have vastly different friends.

I also just imagine that when it doesn't get physical, the family does have screaming matches often. Cops would be called, the whole thing. Very early the kids learned they could use their words effectively against each other even if they couldn't against their parents. I imagine that while close, the boys and girls had a battle of shouts at least once a day (then sneak each other treats to make up for it.)

I could also imagine Sirius and Regulus trying to settle into the Potters and realizing how intertwined their family is in them. And also Reg and Sirius have to stomp to the back of the garden to have their arguments - they cannot not have them, because then they get waaaay worse.

Walburga: you are not good enough for my son.

Remus: you’re not good enough for your son.

Walburga: pardon.

Remus: you heard me.

idk if that makes sense but in regulus’ story:

icarus = regulus

the labyrinth = grimmauld/black family

daedalus/wings = sirius

sun = james

icarian see = the cave

similarities between regulus black and icarus

1. got too close to the sun

2. drowned

birthday.

In honour of what would've been Regulus' 63rd birthday, here's a small one-shot. June 25th, 1975

Regulus never slept the night of his birthday.

Ever since Sirius let slip that Regulus was born at 4:44 am on the cool morning of 25th June 1961, Regulus always stayed awake to celebrate the moment he officially completed another year in solitude. Sirius tried to join him many times, but, after the fifth consecutive year when Regulus made it very clear that he did not want anyone with him at that moment, Sirius decided to wish his brother at exactly 4:46 am, giving Regulus two minutes to enjoy completing another year before he was smothered.

And Regulus loved it.

He loved how calm London was at the early hours of the morning. The glow of the lightbulbs weren't that much at Grimmauld Place, and it was probably the best place you could stargaze from. Even better, both his and Sirius' rooms had balconies where one could sit and watch the stars on end. Sometimes, Sirius would join him from his balcony, but most times, he would wait for Regulus to have his moment.

Regulus looked up again. The Leo constellation shone brightly in the sky, and it didn't take him much time to find the star he was named after. Regulus. A star from the lion constellation born into a family of snakes, traitors and blood-supremacists.

He wasn't sure how to feel about that.

The special clock struck once, reminding Regulus that there was just one more minute till he officially turned 14. Wow, he thought, this year went by really fast. He was finally growing into the Black genes, and it didn't go unnoticed that Regulus' Black's jawline had become more defined, his nose longer and the shadow of maturity rising in his features. Although he was slightly taken aback with that change one fine morning, he was glad, at least he looked as aristocratic and melancholic as he felt. And while third year was nice, third year was great, he looked forward to fourth year. Maybe Sirius would talk to him at Hogwarts too, now that neither of them were no longer children.

The clock struck twice. Thirty seconds.

Regulus traced his fingers over the small engraving on the railing and closed his eyes. That was the first time he had broken a rule -- he was around 5 or 6 at that time -- and for some reason, it was never noticed. It was his little secret, and he loved to keep it that way.

As it had happened on all his previous birthdays, tears began to pool in Regulus' eyes. Most of them were happy, this time, but it was more gratitude that he had lived another year. Gratitude for the friends he had. Gratitude for his experiences. Gratitude for having whoever he had, because had it not been for them, he would never have become the person he was.

The clock struck twice again. Ten seconds.

Regulus took a moment to take a deep breath. His tears were overwhelming him, but if there was one thing he hated, it was entering a new year with a tear-strained face. It was poetic, though. Every time he entered a new year, he entered it crying, just like he did when he came out of his mother's womb.

Thank you, he said over and over again, although he wasn't sure who. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for everything.

The clock struck thrice.

It was 4:44 am.

Regulus opened his eyes with a soft smile on his face. He felt a rush of excitement and joy course through his veins, just like every other year, but there was something special about this one. Regulus knew at that moment, although he didn't know how, that that year was going to be vastly different from what he had imagined. Something was going to happen, and it was going to change him forever. A grin formed on his face at that thought.

Looking up at the star he was named after, Regulus took another deep breath before uttering his next words.

"Happy birthday, Regulus."

Sirius looks more like his mother than his father, and Regulus is just the opposite (yes, Orion and Walburga shared a shit ton of relatives, but I think they looked quite different)

all the siblings rushed to Andromeda's room whenever they were scared. Be it baby Sirius when the thunder was so loud he couldn't stop trembling, or Narcissa when she was awaiting her OWL results, or Regulus when he felt like he had lost Sirius forever.

Bellatrix was the one who got crucio'd the most. Yes, she was obedient to Voldemort, yes, she supported the dark arts, but her obedience came with a price that was her sanity.

the marauders weren't as sneaky as they thought they were during their first year. It was Narcissa who fine tuned their pranks (she did not like that Sirius was hanging out with blood-traitors, but she was a prankster too) and ensured that they did not get caught.

Regulus sleeps on his arms. He tries to sleep on his back, but for some reason, it never works out.

the reason for the above is that when Sirius and Regulus shared a room (as toddlers), Sirius would always pull Regulus closer to him when the latter was asleep. Many times, they would face each other, Regulus' arms squished between his and Sirius' body and Sirius' arms around his. Regulus does not know this.

Sirius makes time to stargaze at least once a week. When it first started, it was a means of spotting the constellations/stars of all the members in his family, and soon, it became a means of escape the Black brothers used very often.

Sirius also recites names of stars and constellations to keep himself from losing his mind whenever he is crucio'd. This was also what kept him alive in Azkaban apart from redemption.

Narcissa always dutch braids her hair. It annoyed her parents, because they are of French ethnicity, but it was one of the many styles that made her sharp features stand out.

after running away with Ted, Andromeda couldn't sleep for weeks because she fully expected that one of her family members would somehow find her and kill her, or worse, drag her back.

a similar thing took place right after Dora was born for obvious reasons.

Bellatrix loved to play the electric guitar. Her parents didn't know about the guitar she had hid under the floorboards of her room and certainly did not know about the complex magic she had used to start the guitar without the use of electricity (even better, she developed it when she was underage)

Orion's hair and beard were always groomed. Everyone assumed it was magic, but Regulus was the only one who knew that it was due to Sleakzey's, Fleamont Potter's creation. He had been threatened with having to see Sirius getting tortured for three full hours, which was the only reason he carried this secret to the grave.

on a similar note, SIrius also saw Walburga using Sleakzey's to tame her hair. Walburga, however, did not know he knew.

the Blacks always dined together. Even if someone was sent to their room or grounded, they made it a point to ensure everyone important was there to eat their meals. These meals were also frequented by the portraits, and a full extended family conversation would nearly always take place.

the Blacks also had abysmal immunity (incest and good immunity do not go hand in hand in this case). However, Kreacher was great at healing charms, so it was very tough to tell when someone was actually sick.

every single Black sibling was not straight, apart from Andromeda, who would throw her fists at anyone who showed even a smidge of homophobia.

Walburga had developed a counter-charm for the permanent fixing charm, and when Sirius found out, he stayed up for five whole days to successfully find a way to make something impervious to Walburga's counter charm.

However, he had forgotten about it during his time in Azkaban, and didn't have the energy to recover it after that.

Andromeda's favourite colour was green. Not the green that characterised slytherin (she thought it was elegant, but it wasn't her taste), but the light green that symbolises new life.

Bellatrix tried to run away once. It did not work.

Regulus, though he loves rings, hates that they sometimes get stained by ink. Therefore, he started wearing them as necklaces, and it isn't rare to see him loosening them during the day.

he did not risk it at home though, especially after he was declared the heir.

un headcannon que yo tengo sobre regulus y sirius, es que además de hablar francés también aprendieron otras lenguas romances de chicos, corte italiano u español, específicamente con acento rioplatense y puedo imaginarlos peleando en español solamente porque tiene insultos más fuertes 💀

seguramente usarían insultos tipo;

hijo de puta

la recalcada concha de tu madre

la puta que te pario

aborto mal hecho

y hay mejores🤠

So I think I found out where the Black family got their inspiration to marry onto themselves, you see

*turns spinny chair around halfway to look at you*

The Greek gods and goddesses used to be 12, until they decided to start marrying their siblings, therefore breeding themselves wrongly.

Things my family and I have said as Marauders quotes:

Peter: You don't mind having no clue what you're doing with your life while your family members are politicians, doctors, lawyers...?

Sirius: I mean, somebody's gotta be the disappointment of the family.

Remus: *sighs deeply*

Sirius: *smugly* Exactly.
