The marauders fandom is crazy because you can call child abuse A+ parenting and everyone accepts it as a valid tag

[evvvangeline44]

the Blacks are sooo cunty. like wdym ur a problematic filthy rich family with a black sheep and a mamas boy who are both gay. the tabloids would eat this up.

[deswhomst]

Just here to remind everyone that that canon Regulus Black was:

The youngest person to join the Death Eaters

The first person to discover Voldemort’s secret

The first Death Eater to betray Voldemort

regulus who dyed his hair from blonde to black to look more like sirius

narcissa who dyed her hair from black to blonde to look less like andromeda

Bellatrix, eating a meal: I poisoned one of our glasses… but I forgot which one. Regulus: The way this dinner is going, I pray to God that it's mine.

sirius was walburga & orion's favourite despite his rebellions and regulus wasn't paid as much attention despite his constant obedience - and they both hated this

[del-stars]

okay, but. imo sirius would not have walked onto the hogwarts express, picked out james potter, and said 'oh good, my parents will hate you.' he's eleven, and he hasn't been sorted into gryffindor yet - he's still very much in his parents' favor at this stage. baby sirius wants to do good and impress them; he's so sheltered that he's never even met someone who didn't uphold their beliefs. james is the first. i really think that being sorted into gryffindor broke baby sirius' heart, because he knows even then that it creates an irreversible divide between him and his mother. he befriends james not out of spite, but because he's james - he's nice, he's welcoming, and he's a kid. carelessly, james kicks his feet up on the bench, eats his food with his fingers, and lets his shirt go untucked. james is sirius' first taste of freedom, his first realisation that he can do things he isn't really supposed to, and still turn out a good person.

walburga comes to despise james potter not just because of his family's reputation, but because of the noticeable effect he has on sirius. it's like someone has taken her son and replaced him with a cheap copy: sirius burps at the dinner table, refuses to dress properly, and has started using foul language. worst of all, he writes to james. he talks of missing james. walburga has been desperate to get sirius back into her arms from the moment he left, because sirius is walburga's entire life, and it's becoming clear that sirius is destined for more. he's learning there is a life for him outside the walls of their house. sirius' existence is the culmination of her life purpose, and she is no longer her favourite person. she hates him for this.

the heartbreaking thing is sirius genuinely doesn't know why. he isn't trying to upset his mother, but he has to make friends, right? the slytherins won't talk to him, his cousins have shunned him, and he spends a lot of time around james. for a little while, he thought the gryffindor thing wouldn't be that big of a deal. parents are supposed to love their children regardless, right? this is where sirius begins to hate his mother, in turn: her love appears to be conditional. he seeks it from others, obsessively, to spite her.

what IFFFF instead of sirius leaving regulus, regulus BEGGED sirius to get out. sirius was dying and he refused to die without his brother near him so he tried to refuse when regulus told him to go but then regulus pretended to turn on sirius. "I hate you" type shit so sirius left. really angsty shit ya know. CANON OR NOT WHO GIVES A FUCK NOTHING FROM THE MARAUDERS IS CANON I JUST THOUGHT THATS BE A COOL IDEA FOR EXTRA ANGST IN A FIC.

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Walburga: You are not good enough for my son.

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

Walburga: Excuse me?

Remus: You heard me.

SIRIUS BLACK they could never make me hate you.

Walburga and Orion realistically never would’ve allowed for either child to live in the shadow of the other. A Black eclipsed by anyone, even another Black, would’ve been a disgrace.

You think they would’ve favoured Regulus if he’d been a weak, blushing and trembling kid hiding behind his brother? No, they simply excelled in different areas.

Sirius was all charm and charisma, knew when to laugh and smile, turned heads upon entering a room, left them wanting more — could’ve been the perfect heir had he only wanted it. Regulus was cold cunning and heartless manipulation, had people fearing and respecting him since he was 12 and loved it. He didn’t have to say a word, by 17 one look from him had people agreeing to anything. He was the perfect heir because he enjoyed the game.

The Blacks were power hungry maniacs, imagine how incredibly fucked Regulus had to be to be their favourite. How deranged did he have to be to be chosen by Voldemort at 16. This man treads the line of irredeemability with a smile

sirius trauma made him loud, regulus trauma made him quiet

[deswhomst]

There was so much missed potential with the Black brothers because when I was reading the Harry Potter books, and they both had no dead bodies, I was waiting for them to just appear at some point in the story with a crazy plot-twist but no!! They stayed dead. What was the point of the veil if there was nothing beyond it but death? And I really thought that since Regulus’ death was so mysterious, too, there was a chance he was alive, and Sirius went beyond the veil to him, and they both found a Horcrux or something bigger !! Anyways, this is proof that I have always been very delusional.

sirius black didn't know what unforgivable curses were until hogwarts.

when he learnt about them, he didn't know what to think. yes, he knew his parents were horrible, abusive people. he'd be the first to tell you that, would scream it from the rooftops. but unforgivables? the way it was explained to him made them sound like it was the worst thing a person could do. could anyone even be capable of that? if anyone was, it'd make sense it'd be his parents.

he was strangely quite most of that day, going over everything in his head. his parents, unforgivables, the punishments, unforgivables, the nights he spent trapped inside his own mind following his mothers voice in his head, unforgivables, screaming in pain till his throat was raw, unforgivables–

the thing that got him out of his head was the sound of his brothers voice, walking down the corridor with those two brats, crouch and rosier.

regulus. oh his sweet, soft, baby brother regulus. his brother. who is in that house with him. with his parents.

he pulls regulus into an empty class room, ignoring the yelling from his brothers friends and his protests.

they left that room, silent, going in different directions down the corridor. if any of their friends asked what that was about, they'd scoff and make something up, ignoring the knowing looks from their friends.

neither were never the same after that discovery.
