After Sirius left home, Regulus would sometimes sleep in Sirius's bed until his parents caught him and punished him. It was then he vowed he had to let go of Sirius for good

Happy birthday Sirius Black!

Here's your reminder that he did, in fact, spend his 22nd birthday (and many more after that) alone in a cell in Azkaban, riddled with guilt and grief, perhaps quietly singing happy birthday to himself under his breath as he remembers all the parties his friends threw for him in the Gryffindor common room- Peter included. Wondering how one of his best friends could betray them all.

And Remus Lupin is also alone, thinking about life without everyone and the staring at the presents and plans he has carefully collected to throw Sirius a surprise birthday party, playing the new record vinyl he had got Sirius in the hopes of them dancing and laughing to it together, discovering new favourite music. Instead, he just cries and wonders where it all went wrong

But anyway, happy birthday!

I forget people are actually at Halloween parties and trick-or-treating. What do you mean, you aren't crying in bed over fictional characters with very little canon information?

Today is so depressing, all because a fucking rat decided to betray his friends

Love young Peter. But traitor Peter? Ew, fuck off

(kind of impressed that he managed to pull it off though, I'll give him that)

"Play this when I'm gone" by MGK is Sirius to Reggie

That's all

Crimson Rivers altered my brain chemistry so badly that everytime I watch "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" I expect Reaper to declare "Hallow is Hollow" when he tears down the flag in the arena to cover the dead tributes

It hurts, when you hit the ground after falling in love. Regulus is sure it was always going to end in tragedy, him and James. He still wishes it didn't. As he sits alone in the astronomy tower reflecting, he wishes for James to come back. Hopes and yearns for him again. Even though they were doomed from the start. They should never have aligned.

I think one of the reasons I love Jegulus so much is because of the horrifically tragic "doomed from the start" trope (usually more prominent in canon-compliant fanfics)

There's just something about the trope that is so gut-wrenchingly sad and melancholic, but it also always leaves more of an impression on me. I crave it

It's one reason Romeo and Juliet was so enjoyable to study at school. Yes, I know there are issues with the relationship itself, but it's the idea of them being doomed from the start that I am talking about. The audience are told from the very beginning that they are fated to die, yet we all still somewhat convince ourselves they will survive until they die. Similar to They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera. It's literally in the title and yet, the amount of people (myself included) who were convinced they'd both survive? For me, it was the fact that I felt the title was too obvious and it was a bluff so I decided to remain skeptical and not trust it. The ending hurt like a bitch

Romeo and Juliet is similar to the myth of Pyramus and Thisbe which is an equally horribly tragic story of two forbidden lovers who meet their demise

In canon-compliant Jegulus fics, we always know that they are doomed. From the start, we know they will break up and Regulus will go into that cave and die. I always know this but still yearn for the pain of it. Cathartic release can be a good feeling, honestly

James and Regulus were two souls intertwined, doomed to be ripped apart by tragedy

The final chapter of my "Marauders, The Next Step" AU came out a couple of days ago, so if you are interested, it is all there. (please be reminded this started as somewhat of a joke that I ended up far too invested in)

[reggieandtheripoffmoose]

Just published the first chapter of a dumb fanfiction which is an AU of the marauders in The Next Step. Here's the link if you're interested. Bear in mind, it was meant as a joke which turned into a whole fanfiction and it follows true Next Step fashion with cringy dialogue. It is not a work of art

Finished re-reading art heist baby-

And I can't function-

I forgot how badly it hurt

"He never did fall in love again" AHHHH THIS QUOTE WILL HAUNT ME FOREVER

James going to the house in Brazil will never not hurt me. He was supposed to live there with Reg omg...gotta go get some pink post it notes

And the orange muffins and purple flowers omg😭😭😭

Also Sirius screaming that he only just got Reggie back-

This fic has destroyed my life. And I'm still planning on reading it again

Shout out to Rosekiller for getting married without telling anyone and then sending a text to the group chat telling them where to send their wedding presents 😭😭 literally love them

[reggieandtheripoffmoose]

Re-reading art heist baby and I just came across a quote I forgot about when they're all in Paris and James is telling Reg he sees him in everything

"Every purple flower, every classical symphony, everytime the sky turns the stormy colour that matches your eyes, every hint of Earl Grey tea, every glittering star in the sky. It's you. It's always you.

I'm just-

Coz I know how it ends AND IT'S GONNA HURT LIKE A BITCH

I will never get over this book

[reggieandtheripoffmoose]

That one quote in Choices after Reggie has died when Cerci asks the girl she likes out:

"Did you see that Reg? I did it.

Rips my heart to shreds EVERY TIME
