James Baldwin is one of my favourite writers of all time. His writing is so intimate. Every time I read them, I feel like I'm alone in a room with him as he's telling me this story. Or I'm watching through a window of a real situation and no one knows I'm there.
He was also brave enough to not only write about Black characters when no one really wanted him to, but also to write about Black queer characters as well-- in the 1950s.
If you haven't read Giovanni's Room, Go Tell it on the Mountain, Notes of a Native Son, and I am Not Your Negro. He has so many other incredible works, but these four in particular are probably the more famous ones.
His writing is incredibly intimate, authentic and raw-- and it can be heavy, at times, absolutely. But he makes every word worth it.
Please check him out. He's not nearly as famous as he should have been-- everyone should have read at least one of his works in school, but it was never a priority, because he was a gay Black writer.
And some time, watch some youtube interviews with him-- as with his literature, his interviews feel very intimate and incredibly authentic. Please check him out.
James Baldwin at Junior’s Bar and Lounge on 52nd Street, during rehearsals for his play “Blues for Mister Charlie” in New York City, 1964.

The Marauders & Regulus out in town, enjoying the day...
Peter: Guys, where's Regulus? I don't see him anywhere.
Sirius: Eh, he'll make his way back eventually - he's like a cat in that regard.
Remus: I got this, no worries. *Deep breath* SIRIUS BLACK IS A SHIT BROTHER!
*Silence*
Sirius: Mooney, that's not gonna work, we're barely on speaking terms right now.
Remus: I have a back-up plan; JAMES POTTER IS WEIRD AND NOBODY LIKES HIM!
Regulus, getting closer the more he yells: HOW ABOUT YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP, PIECE OF SHIT?
Sirius: See, Mooney, I told you he wouldn't answer to mine.
Regulus, suddenly there now: No, I answered to yours, I was just too far away. Also, Remus? I will hit you if you say shit like that again about either of them, joke or not. I'm the only one who can talk shit about my brother, I don't care if you guys are dating. *crosses arms over chest*
Sirius, tearing up: Reg... OW-
Regulus, trying to hide his blush: Shut the fuck up.
James, leaning on Peter: Did you hear that, Pete?? He defended me!! That has to mean something, right?? Do you think he likes me? Oh, I hope so!!
Peter, rubbing in-between his eyes: James, he was literally sitting in your lap last night and letting you play with his hair. Not even Barty's allowed to do that anymore.
James, clueless: Yeah?
Peter: I do not get paid enough for this.

I can’t stop thinking about the discussion James and Regulus must have had when Harry was sorted into Gryffindor. James would smirk at Regulus for a looooong time.
But oh how sweet Regulus comeback was when Harry was chosen as seeker for the quidditch team.

Fic: Home
When Regulus first mentioned he was moving out of Sirius and Remus’ place, his brother insisted it wasn't necessary. But today, on his last day, Sirius couldn't hide his excitement about living alone with his boyfriend. Regulus was genuinely happy for them, though what bothered him most was leaving their cozy flat behind and getting used to a new living arrangement.
Moving out meant finding a new place and a new roommate. Regulus had enough money to live solo, but the thought of loneliness irked him more than anything. Sirius knew this, which is why an hour after Regulus announced his departure, he received a text from James Potter.
[Jamie] Come live with me
Regulus smirked at his phone. James had saved his contact with that nickname, hoping Regulus would feel guilty about being mean to him. He didn’t, but that didn't mean he wasn't growing fond of James.
[Regulus] Where are your manners, Potter? Shouldn’t you at least ask me out first?
[Jamie] You’re such a princess. I have a spare room and you need a place to live.
[Regulus] So you’re my knight in shining armor coming to my rescue then?
[Jamie] I mean, I do have the looks for it.
[Jamie] Just take the offer.
[Jamie] Don’t even try to say you don’t like my flat when I know for a FACT that you do.
[Regulus] Fine. You sure?
[Jamie] Positive, princess.
AAAAH IM SO EXCITED

Contrary to popular belief, I actually do have a life. It just revolves around fictional characters who are either dead, gay or traumatised

british tv be like: got the perfect show for you, it's a 20 year old absurdist comedy about an alcoholic who runs a book shop and clearly has a thing for his assistant. he treats him terribly and is the most filthy disgusting creature you've ever laid your eyes on. yes, you will want to fuck him. 6 episodes a season, 3 seasons, take it or leave it. *spits*
#i love that literally the only reason he gives for not being gay is that he isn't into hygiene or dancing#this little freak deserves more tumblr attention#irish chainsmoker dramatic hateful tsundere alcoholic writer emotional myopic horder chaotic bisexual brunette#what's not to love#black books#manny bianco#bernard black#my nonsense

I got this prompt today: "I’m not pretending to love him," Regulus said quietly. “I’m pretending to belong.”
...Should I chase it? 👀
.
.
.
You know what? I don’t care—I’m gonna chase it
Just to clarify, credit for the art goes to @industrations. I’m not claiming it as my own—just using it as inspiration for my writing, like everyone else does.

“brace” - Jegulus microfic - @into-the-jeggyverse - 266 words
The match had been going on for hours. It was heated and aggressive and even from the stands James could feel the intensity. The score had been close the entire game and it all came down to who could catch the snitch first, but neither seeker had seen it the entire game.
That was until Regulus spotted it hovering in the corner of the pitch only centimeters above the ground. James saw the moment Regulus found it and he didn’t hesitate to go after it. He shot across the pitch faster than James had ever seen him fly and James had to brace himself on the front of the stands as he watched Regulus dive directly towards the ground. It was a risky move because Regulus would have to pull up at the very last second so he didn’t crash into the ground or the side of the pitch.
It felt like time slowed down and James held his breath the entire time. Regulus reached his hand out and wrapped his fingers around the snitch at the same time as he pulled his broom up and spun to the side to fly straight up along the side of the pitch. It was beautiful. And ridiculously stupid.
Regulus had the biggest smile on his face as he flew over to James.
“You are insane.” James told him. “But that incredible. You’re incredible.”
“For you.” Regulus held out the snitch.
Instead of taking the snitch, James wrapped his hand around Regulus’ wrist and pulled him down for a kiss.
“For you.” James said when they broke the kiss.

Trans!Regulus Au in which Sirius often sneaked out with Regulus to show him the stars (pre Regulus coming out).
On one of those nights, Sirius and R* are lying on their backs and look up at the sky filled with stars as they always do. Sirius laughs as he just found the Lupin constellation for the first time. "It's moony!" He says and grins to himself. R* has long forgotten the stars in favour of watching at his brother. Sirius started to grow out his hair. Soon it will reach shoulder length, just as R*'s hair. He doesn't understand, if R* could, he would cut his hair off without a second thought. He looks back up, his mouth opening and closing again and again, as he contemplates how to phrase his next words. How could he describe this lingering feeling deep inside of his chest, to his big brother?
"I think..." It came out broken, but it caught the attention of Sirius, as R* could see his brother's head turn in the corner of his eyes. His own eyes are focused on the stars in the sky. "I'm a boy." it bursts out of him. A secret he had carried in his shoulders for over a year now. He immediately bites down on his lip, afraid to say anything else.
Sirius is silent. R* doesn't dare to shift his eyes from the stars to glance at his brother. This isn't how people describe it. There's no invisible load taken off his shoulders. If anything, there seems to be more pressing down on him, hindering him to breath. R* can feel himself spiral. If not even Sirius excepts him, who will?
"I never told you this, but..." Sirius starts. His voice is calm, his eyes fixed on the night sky again. R* glances over at his brother. A small smile was playing on the older boy's lips. "I always loved Regulus way more than the star our parents named you after. It's the heart of the lion, just like Sirius is the heart of the dog. The lion may not be as cool and awesome as the dog-" Sirius laughs at this part, but instantly turns serious again "-but he is a very, very brave animal. Just like you, brother." Sirius turns his head again to catch R*'s eyes.
This time R* answers the stare as a grin, that mirrors the one on Sirius' face, tucks at his lips. "Regulus." He tests out the sound. The way the letters roll from his tongue. "Yeah, I like that." Regulus looks back up to the stars and when he finds the lion constellation, he feels like the Regulus star ist burning brighter than normally.
And that's how the one person who always was just like a parent to him (way more than his biological ones), gave Regulus his name.
#sirius giving regulus his name or at least the idea for it would be so cute#i need more wholesome moments between theses two#honestly what is wrong with all the sibling angst in this fandom#I'm starting to believe that we should add sibling issues to the mommy issues make this daddy issues make that thing#sibling issues make Marauders fans#especially jegulus and wolfstar writers on Ao3#like what the fuck i am crying#harry potter#marauder#the marauders era#marauders#sirius black#regulus black#dead gay wizards#trans reggie#trans regulus

– Burning with obsession
Yandere Sanji x Male Reader
Summary: You're not sure if you even feel safe with your boyfriend Sanji anymore, and you're very concerned with his behavior with you.
---------------------------------------
The Going Merry rocked gently on the waves, the moon casting a silver glow over the deck. You stood alone, leaning on the railing, lost in thought. The sea was calm tonight, yet something felt off—a strange tension in the air that you couldn’t quite place.
“Y/N, you’re out here late”
Came a voice, soft and smooth, but with an undercurrent of something that sent a shiver down your spine. You didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.
“Sanji”
You greeted, trying to keep your voice steady as the cook approached. You could feel his presence behind you, closer than usual, the warmth of his body almost palpable. He had always been attentive, but lately, his attention felt more intense, more suffocating.
“You shouldn’t be out here alone”
Sanji said, his voice dripping with concern as he moved beside you.
“Anything could happen, and I wouldn’t be there to protect you.”
You glanced at him, trying to read his expression. His usual charming smile was in place, but his eyes—the way they locked onto you with an almost predatory focus—made your heart race for all the wrong reasons.
“I can handle myself, Sanji. You don’t need to worry about me so much.”
His smile faltered for a brief second, and then it was back, wider, almost forced.
“But I can’t help it, Y/N. You mean so much to me. The thought of something happening to you… it drives me crazy.”
You swallowed hard, the word “crazy” echoing in your mind. Lately, Sanji had been growing more possessive and more insistent on being near you. It was flattering at first, but now it was starting to feel like too much, like he was always watching, always there.
“Sanji, I appreciate your concern, but I need some space,”
You said, trying to put some distance between you both.
“You’re always looking out for me, but it’s… it’s overwhelming.”
Sanji’s eyes darkened, and for a moment, you saw something in them that made your blood run cold—something obsessive, something dangerous. But just as quickly, it was gone, replaced by his usual adoring gaze.
“I’m sorry, [Name]”
He said, voice softening as he stepped closer, closing the distance you’d tried to create.
“I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable. It’s just… I care about you so much.”
He reached out, gently taking your hand in his. His grip was firm, too firm, as though he feared you might slip away.
“You’re the most important person to me. More important than anything else.”
You tried to pull your hand back, but Sanji’s grip tightened, holding you in place. His eyes bore into yours, the intensity in them making your heart pound.
“S-Sanji, you’re hurting me.”
He blinked, and for a moment, confusion flickered across his face. Then, as if realizing what he was doing, he released you, stepping back with a strained smile.
“I’m sorry, Y/N. I just… I don’t know what I’d do if anything happened to you.”
You rubbed your wrist, unease settling in your stomach. The way he was acting, the way he was looking at you—it wasn’t right.
“Sanji, I think you should get some rest. We can talk about this tomorrow.”
Sanji’s smile remained, but there was a glint in his eyes that made your skin crawl.
“Of course, Y/N. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
He leaned in, brushing his lips against your cheek in a gesture that felt more like a claim than a kiss.
“Sleep well, my love.”
As he walked away, disappearing below deck, you exhaled, realizing you had been holding your breath. Something was very wrong, and you knew you needed to be careful. Sanji’s affection had crossed a line, and you weren’t sure how to handle it.
That night, as you lay in your hammock, the memory of Sanji’s eyes lingered in your mind, and for the first time since you being his boyfriend, you didn’t feel safe.
---------------------------------------
This yandere oneshot delves into a more intense and unsettling version of Sanji. :D I tried my best, lol. Did u like it? :3
