Barty: 🎶HEY I JUST MET YOU AND THIS IS CRAZY🎶 Regulus: you are crazy. Barty: Reggie darling, you’re killing the vibe. Regulus: I’m killing myself. Barty: now, now, what did I say about suicidal thoughts? Regulus: bury them along with my emotions then die at forty years old of heart failure like a real man? Barty: exactly. Now partyyyyy Regulus: go away.

(Regulus has a white streak in his hair, Regulus has a white streak in his hair, I'm a Regulus has a Mallen streak/poliosis truther. And this snippet is from my current WIP. Where Regulus has a white streak in his hair.) “Sometimes I forget what a contemptible pillock you can be,” Regulus huffs.

“Yes, I can feel the hate,” James says, voice laced with laughter, when Regulus sinks into him with a whimper after he rakes his nails over his scalp. He pitches forward and dusts a kiss to Regulus’ shoulder. “This haircut looks great on you. And I love this.” He catches the white forelock and twirls it around his finger. “It's so unique” 

“You do? I’ve always hated it.”

“Why?” 

Regulus shrugs, and James uses the pause to rinse the shampoo out of his hair and give a quick wash to his own untameable mane. Who knows, perhaps the expensive French cosmetics will manage what no product except for Sleekeazy’s has achieved so far and tame it.

“There’s a belief in my family that the white patch of hair denotes a wizard of extraordinary talent, and, well. You’ve met my family. Being a Black comes with enough expectations attached when nothing special sets you apart. Add a unique trait marking you for greatness, and you get the picture. And once I became the heir, the pressure to perform, to fulfill a superstition that’s probably nothing more than a genetic aberration, intensified tenfold.”

i just mistyped "kreachers tale" as "kreachers take" and i cant stop imagining kreacher with a podcast like "whats up guys thanks for tuning in this episode is sponsored by weasleys wizard wheezes use my promo code REGLIVES for 20% off dungbombs"

‘James should be with regulus-’

‘he’s so much better off with Lily-’

And if I said James is a good boy and he deserves both -simultaneously- what then.

My favourite “what if” in the marauders fandom is “What if Regulus Black survived the cave?”

There are so many ways this could have impacted the story, for the better or for the worse.

For the better, Regulus manages to destroy the horcrux, for example.

For the worse, Regulus fails to destroy the horcrux, for example.

So many lives would be different if Regulus Black had survived but so many lives would also still have been lost, maybe even characters who wouldn’t have died if he had in the first place.

Like, Regulus Black, as much as it pains me to say, had NO impact on the story for the better, because in the end, he made it harder for Harry to do what needed to be done.

Thing is, had Regulus survived, maybe Harry would never of had to fight a war he didn’t start, a war he had no part in.

Maybe Lily and James wouldn’t have died.

Sirius, Remus, Tonks.

Maybe a lot of good would have come from it.

Maybe a lot of bad would have come from it.

WE DONT KNOW AND IT KILLS ME.

I enjoy reading fics like this. I enjoy making them too. It’s so interesting because Regulus goes from being a nobody death eater who died trying to spite Voldemort and destroy his horcrux to Regulus who could have been so much more if only circumstances were different.

the golden king by maladaptivewriting

Hide Your Fires by bizarrestars

anti-hero by rweoutofthewoods

ALL OF THESE FICS!!! And so many more!

WHAT IF HE LIVED??? WHAT IF HE SURVIVED?? WHAT WOULD HAPPEN???

It just… it’s my favourite what if and I will read every single fic I find because they are the best thing to me.

The Marauders: A One Act Play

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: Professor Slughorn tells me that you were behaving inappropriately. What exactly is your side of the story before I fill the blanks in myself? 

JAMES: [James sits up straighter.] Inappropriate? Oh come on we only- [Sirius cuts him off by pushing him by his face back onto the chair.] 

SIRIUS: What exactly was his side of the story? Because we have no idea what you're talking about. [James rubs his nose dejectedly.]

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: Really you have no idea? [She looks at them like she doesn’t believe a word out of their mouths.]

SIRIUS: Nope.

REMUS: Nuh-uh.

JAMES: Not a clue.

PETER: Absolutely zero ideas.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: That’s funny, you’d think that you guys would remember filling your teacher’s classroom with fifty chickens! [They all pause for a moment to watch her face turn red.]

REMUS: [Remus taps his finger on his lips, looking thoughtful.] Hmmmm you would think we’d remember doing something like that.

PETER: [Peter mimics his thoughtfulness.] Unless we didn’t do it, in which case there would be no memory to remember.

JAMES: [James points at Mcgonagal importantly.] Oh my God we didn't do it! Honestly I wasn’t expecting that. [He sits back looking very relieved.]

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: [Mcgonagal angrily waves her hands around.] He literally saw you do it! He saw you running away, you left a trail of chicken feathers! Peter you have a feather in your hair right now! 

PETER: [Peter plucks the feather out of his hair with a look of new understanding.] Ohhhh you meant that time we filled our teachers classroom with forty nine chickens.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: What do you mean “that time” of course that time! How many other times have you filled up your teachers' class room with fifty chickens!

SIRIUS: Never. We’ve never filled up our teacher's room with fifty chickens. [They all blink in unison.]

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: You guys just admitted it, like literally two seconds ago. The professor walked in his class room and found 50 chickens labeled with a number. [She reaches up and rubs her temples looking on the verge of tears.] They still can’t find number 13. 

REMUS: Oh how strange. 

JAMES: Strange indeed. [James stifles a smile, looking away from Remus so he won't laugh.]

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: [Mcgonagal signs with an air of resignation.] What on earth possessed you guys to do this?

PETER: The pigs were expensive.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: [Mcgonagal tugs on her hair.] Right of course, I always put chickens in my teacher’s classroom because the pigs are expensive. 

REMUS: I don't see why you are so upset, it’s not like there’s a rule against putting forty nine chickens in your professor’s classroom. We checked.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: You checked to make sure there wasn't a rule against putting fifty chickens in your teacher's classroom.

REMUS: [Remus smiles brightly.] No, but that’s not a rule either.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: what? I- It’s not a rule because we assume our students have common sense! 

SIRIUS: [Sirius waves his hand in a dismissing movement.] Ah well you know what they say about assumptions. 

JAMES: No, what do they say about assumptions?

SIRIUS: [Sirius thinks about it for a second before he shrugs.] I don’t know, they probably cause cancer or something. [James nods like that makes sense.]

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: They do not cause canc- He was yelling after you! He told you to stop!

REMUS: Ohhhh that's what he was saying! I thought he was practicing.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGAL: Practicing?!

REMUS: For the opera.

PETER: [Peter nods encouragingly.] He does have a lovely singing voice.

DESERVED TOO

[klarolinexluv]

black brothers !

"I still see her face every time I look in the mirror," Regulus sighs, tracing the outline of his own reflection. He still wonders what he must have done to deserve the cards he was dealt.

"Yeah," Sirius breathes, "I can hear her too." His brother mumbles, coming to stand beside him.

Regulus glances between Sirius' features to his own, trying to catch all the ways he resembles his brother and not his mother. They have the same nose, the same dark curls, bright eyes- But these are also things they got from their parents.

"Yeah. Same." Regulus sighs, "Somedays it's like I never left that house." He adds, shoving his hands into his pockets. He watches as Sirius nods before tucking his hair behind his ears,

"But you know what, Reg? We did. We did make it out." Sirius says, placing his hands on Regulus' shoulders to pull his attention away from the mirror. "And look at us now, I married the love of my life, you're about to do the same. We got something they never did, a happy life, surrounded by the people we love. We made it out of that house, Reggie. You and me, we did it." Sirius finishes with a grin on his face, his eyes shining with joy and a hint of defiance.

Regulus tries to hide his own smile but his brother's enthusiasm is contagious, it seems. "Yeah, Siri, you and me. We did it, didn't we." He says quietly, glancing back at the mirror.

There's another thing he got from his brother, the light burning in his eyes, hope.

Sirius doesn’t feel sad, he just feels empty. His little star just burst.

discuss - Jegulus Microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - word count: 348

"Padfoot, what the fuck is this?" James asked, sighing as he entered the empty classroom he'd been led to by a cryptic noted signed with a pawprint.

"This, my dear Prongs, is the most important class I shall ever teach!" Sirius announced from the front of the room.

"The only class he'll ever teach," Peter murmured from one of the desks, where he had his feet kicked up.

"Save all questions until the end, please!" Sirius said dramatically, waving his hands all around.

James took a breath, staring at the chalkboard. There, scribbled in Sirius's handwriting, were two titles: Things regarding dating Reggie that James may discuss and Things regarding dating Reggie that James may never, ever, EVER talk about again EVER.

"So we're here to talk about prank ideas then?" he quipped, sliding into a seat and grinning.

Remus, who was sitting at the teacher's desk, chuckled. Sirius, however, looked scandalized. "Mister Potter, don't make me take points from Gryffindor!" he admonished.

"Yes, Professor Black," James smirked.

"Now Class," Sirius said, giving James a stern look. "This is very important. Because some of you seem to be under the impression that since I have accepted this new relationship, you can talk about whatever you want, so-"

"But I already have some questions. Under the things James can talk about side, you have 'hand holding.' What if the hands are holding other body parts besides hands? Because I've found that Regulus is very good at using his hands to-" James started in, a shit-eating grin on his face.

"Absolutely not!" Sirius yelled, grabbing a piece of chalk and circling 'hand holding,' drawing an arrow to move it to the other side.

"What about 'Reggie's arse?'" James continued, causing both Remus and Peter to let out shocked laughs. "It's not on either list. Can I...?"

"No!" Sirius grimaced, adding it to the appropriate side.

Then, Remus spoke, grinning from ear to ear. "Can I talk about Regulus's arse? It is rather ni-"

And Sirius banged his head against the chalkboard, whimpering to himself. "I hate you all," he muttered.

thinking about how Regulus is brighter than the sun but Sirius is closer to the sun so Regulus is outshined

Regulus Bribing People with Candy Part 2: *Remus, entering the library and going to his favourite spot in a corner only to find Regulus sitting on Remus' seat.* Remus: What are you doing here? Regulus, not looking up: My seat was taken. Remus: But this is my— Regulus, Transfiguring a book into a chair: Sit. Remus: *Sitting down* Are you going to— Regulus, shushing him and offering him something from his pocket: Have a chocolate. Remus: Remus: Yup ok.

I always imagined that although Sirius defied Walburga in many ways, Regulus also had a bit of that rebel in him.

When Sirius and Regulus were young, Walburga never let them have anything sweet. She wanted them to look good all the time and meet the standards of the Noble and Ancient House of Black. Whenever they even tried to secretly get any type of sweet from Kreature, she would end up knowing and always get extremely angry.

Although Sirius defied her as soon as he sat on the train to Hogwarts, he ended up disliking the first candy he tried and never tried it again. (Bertie Botts every flavour beans)

However, Regulus, being the rebel he is, started to keep a huge stash of all types of candy hidden in his room where not even Barty or Evan could find it. It has every candy you could even think of. He especially keeps candies that all his friends liked. Regulus would also be the one to introduce a good candy to Sirius which would make him start liking candies too. 

Regulus would also keep candies in his pockets, with each day of the week having a different type of candy. He would also try and bribe people with candy every now and then.

to those of you who are moving here from tiktok, from someone whos used both tiktok and tumbr for years...

1. DO NOT censor your posts

dont censor sex, abuse, suicide, dont censor it. we dont have censors like tiktok does, you wont be banned for talking about these things and tagging them properly helps people avoid them (also, we dont have shadowbanning here)

2. we dont really have an algorithm

you follow who you follow, and you see posts from who you follow or what you search. the 'for you page' is basically useless here. this also brings me to my next two points

3. dont crosstag

we get it, on tiktok you have to crosstag for reach, but thats not really a thing here. just tag your posts properly (also posters often leave more info about the post in the tags!! and when you reblog stuff you can leave your own notes in the tags, kind of like the old "repost comments" on tiktok)

4. dont expect to go viral/be famous

"viral" isnt really a thing on here (at least not for the average blogger). your posts will probably get 2-10 likes and you wont get nearly as many followers than on tiktok. thats just how tumblr is

5. blocking is your best friend

tiktok is VERY discussion based, and while tumblr is much more discussion based than other social medias, its still not a good place for ragebait/discourse. dont interact, itll make your experience worse in the end, just block and move on

6. you cant go into someone elses house and start rearranging their furniture

this is tumblr, not tiktok. dont diss old tumblr users for how they use the site or try to change them, thats like going into someone elses house and trying to rearrange their furniture. we've been here longer and we're familiar with the site and its culture, either find your niche, adapt, or find a different app

college au where regulus is absolutely awful at math and goes to the library every day trying to study with no success.

one day, after a coffee break, he goes back to his desk only to find mocking and kinda flirty notes (but with the right answers!) all over his books. this thing keeps happening at least twice a week and every time the notes are more flirtatious and regulus will never admit it but he likes it a bit too much.

so he starts writing short answers on his own book, effectively starting a very non conventional conversation with the mysterious person who keeps entertaining him.

imagine his surprise when one day during his break the coffee shop is closed and he goes back to the library only to find soccer team captain james potter writing on his book with a minecraft pencil.
