what’s some of your favourite black brothers hcs?

bless you for sending this and giving me the opportunity to yap

i wish i could remember who posted this hc but sirius got stuck in walburga's ribs in birth and regulus was born blue/not breathing

sirius constantly causing walburga pain during her pregnancy, burrowing as far inside of her as he could, only to be ripped from her into a reality that will constantly tear them apart vs regulus being doomed from the very beginning, dying so young because he shouldn't be alive in the first place MHM YUP

sirius was the favorite child. this led to regulus trying to copy sirius in absolutely everything he does when they were very little

sirius bore the brunt of physical punishment because of the expectations/attention constantly placed upon them. regulus, on the other hand, suffered from neglect

incredibly competitive household, everything they do is compared against each other. recipe for sibling failure

i could write an entire essay on how sirius internalises his failure to be a 'good heir' into thinking something is inherently wrong with him/how regulus' being born second gave him limitless rage at everything around him

even after sirius is sorted into gryffindor and, by his family's definition, becomes a major fuck-up, walburga wants and hopes that he will assume the demeanor and responsibilities of being heir. this is where regulus' resentment of sirius is born: regulus has always been good, has always kept his mouth shut and done what he should, and yet he's still not fit to be heir, even when sirius so obviously doesn't want it. walburga wants her eldest son to be 'perfect' again so badly that she can't see that regulus fits all of her requirements

and after regulus is sorted into slytherin, sirius begins to resent him. now that he can see that he isn't just a black sheep - the rest of the world is nothing at all like his family - he wants regulus to follow in his footsteps, and he won't. he sees regulus as weak for continuing to bend to their family's ways and strive to impress them

so, by age twelve or thirteen, they hate each other. that's the tragedy. they don't come back from this. regulus thinks sirius is ungrateful and out of control, and sirius thinks regulus is a coward and a bigot

regulus spiralssssss because of how much he hates sirius. it is pure, unbridled jealousy. he isolates himself, lets himself be driven by negativity, and tries desperately to mask his inherent sense of inferiority by positioning himself as superior due to his blood status. this makes him the perfect candidate for targeted radicalisation by the de's/bellatrix

sirius does not regret leaving and does not wish he could've taken regulus with him. regulus was fucking over the moon that sirius ran away, and was also part of the reason sirius needed to leave. i will die on this hill

i will always think their characterisations are more interesting/compelling when you make them hate each other. they are fundamentally so different that you can't just swap traits/storylines between them. regulus is SUCH an interesting villain and i wish people explored him in this light more rather than just giving him sirius' story

they are a product of their circumstance. in any other universe they probably could've bonded over their shared trauma (which is why i love my black brother modern aus), but in the one they're in they are destined to be torn apart.

and now, the mini moodboard:

[kairithemang0]

I’m uh

I’m thinking about the arm thing

Like

Oh my god

oh

my god

the way they just kinda squeeze each other at the very end makes me want to scream like a weird bird. Lauren Lopez why did you do this. Why did you add this?

This is like a kiss right? Like this is the equivalent of a kiss? THE WAY CURT LIKE LIGHTLY TOUCHES OWEN’S SHOULDER WITH HIS LIPS???? Gay. Gay people are real this confirms it.

Two brothers are left standing in the frozen town around them. They hold each other close, terrified the other will be taken from them too. They’ll hold each other close forever.

NOT SHIP ART.

Random Darkblue vibes because I love them.

Protects him from VAATI HIS BOSS

Blue cares

He's so sweet 😭

Ya mean it Blue? 😏

Hot.

Dark doesn't mind if you fall on him, just gives him an excuse to hug ya.

"I'll miss you" he's so stinkin' cute.

Zam wants to be ♠️ with Minute SOOOOO bad. And Minute has no idea why. He’s so confused by it. Reluctant and honestly pretty tame Kismesissitude

Jawbone runs hot due to being a werewolf. He's just naturally warm, and this makes his clothes warm too. Sandra Lynn is a clothes thief. She'll steal any item of clothing from her partners and will not give it back. This combines wildly in the cold months as whenever Jawbone removes his cardigan at the end of the day, Sandra Lynn dives into it for warmth and doesn't take it off until it's pried off her.

spoilers for hollow city!!

also this is long so if you don’t want to read the whole thing/scroll (me too twin) I wouldn’t open it. I be yappin

I feel like I’m running around the rings of hell every time I so much as remind myself of the dreams Jacob has of home (specifically the one in the beginning of hollow city) just because of the fact that no matter when he goes, no matter who with, no matter where he is, he can’t ever just go back home and call it all a bad dream. He can’t ever go sit at his grandpas grave and cry like a regular kid. He can’t unhappily stock shelves and entertain his parents dreams of him. He can’t not be the towns freak cold case. it messes with my head that somewhere in any century he can get to, there’s a teenage boy looking for his friends, the only people he truly feels related to in a sonic sense, knowing that he might not find any of them while simultaneously cramming the voices of his mom and dad back into his imagination because they just can’t be his top priority anymore.

It’s utterly inescapable for him. His biggest dream, his lifelong passion, now a reality, and yet he will always long for that silent, stainless, sad life back in Florida. He has to explore, he has to look in places he can barely see, what else can he do?

Every quiet moment he gets, he’ll be thinking of his dad perched on that cliff, binoculars practicing sewed onto his eyes as he looks for his boy. Anything left of his boy. He’ll be thinking of his mom, her freshly manicured nails slowly chipping away while she spends the day in his room. He’ll be thinking of that last phone call, a sour guilt, a burning sadness rooted now in his bones as he replays their bargaining voices. He’ll be thinking of that last fight with Ricky, if it was worth what little they had. He’ll be thinking of holding his grandfather in his arms, trying to keep him off the dirt at least. He’ll be thinking of what he could’ve had if he’d never felt so different, if he’d never listened. He’ll be thinking he regrets it, growing weary of his fate as the world tries to woo him to feel otherwise. A complete change of hands in an unfair card game.

By far, he’s one of the most captivating characters I’ve ever read, he tears me to shreds
