#and THAT is part of the reasons why he ended up telling Moldy Voldy about the Potters (though I like to believe that it was relunctantly)

[mairon-goth-minion]

Alright. Jegulus, but they meet thanks to Peter. Peter who sometimes went out at night because of insomnia, who at some point came across Regulus sitting all alone in an archway, and instantly activated the Must Keep Friends Happy Mode™, sneaking food to him from the kitchen and becoming somehow one of the only people that Regulus trusted. And at some point he’s with the Marauders and casually mentions this friend of his who he sees every other night, and they get curious but Peter won’t betray Regulus’ identity to them, so James decides to follow him one night and it somehow (although he keeps denying it) becomes his favorite part of the day, to watch Regulus smile and laugh, because he finds him truly beautiful when he’s himself. And Peter notices him because of course he knows his friends’ footsteps and postures and tics, and of course he decides to introduce the two.

And they fall in love. And there’s confetti and rainbows in everywhere. And a unicorn singing Sky Full of Stars in the distance. And they live happily ever after. And it’s a fairytale. And that part never happens because IT IS TRAGIC AND THEY DIE YOUNG.

on the idea of regulus black

okay but imagine

90% of our information on regulus comes from sirius, who has to be about the most unreliable narrator for reg’s life to ever. exist. estranged at 15/16, opposites of a war, complete abandonment issues - what on earth says we can trust his perception of where regulus ended up???

no. no.

regulus never went soft. he did not realize that Voldemort asked too much, was too violent, too committed. he didn’t suddenly realize that muggleborns and muggles were ‘worthy’ or valid. there weren’t years of looking at sirius and wishing his brother would notice that he was struggling. no, not at all. regulus simply learned the truth, and he was livid. 

when he found out that Voldemort, his 'purity’ leading master, was a half blood, that was the end of his involvement with the death eaters. regulus was a pristine pureblooded brat from day one. raised in it & reveled in it, sirius likely got that part right at least. he was from the noble and most ancient house of motherfucking black goddammit, and years of prestige created a mindset that exemplified everything written across his door - ‘do not enter without the express written permission of regulus arcturus black.’ who writes that and isn’t a spoiled elitist??? regulus was marked as worthy from his first few steps across the ancient oriental carpets that adorned the halls of grimmauld place, and he knew it in his bones. and yet, their master was not. voldemort’s father was a fucking muggle for merlin’s sake - what the hell was he doing leading this movement??? and why they hell were they all blindly following him??!!

moldy voldie’s motivations were clearly moving from blood purity to some random baby and his own immortal life. his priorities were changing and he wasn’t even worthy of the monologues he delivered anyway. regulus refused to follow someone who clearly didn’t even care anymore and never deserved this respect and power to begin with. but his family was falling apart - his father dead, sirius abandoned him long ago, andromeda has already chosen a mudblood over her own family, bellatrix may very well be going mad, and reg is sitting here watching his world burn while their leader cares less and less about purebloods at all (probably because he isn’t even one). regulus won’t stand for it. he’s slytherin for a reason - ambition. he takes kreacher to steal the horcrux with the hope that someone else will figure out just how fucked up voldemort is and destroy him for even pretending to be someone he was not - someone worthy of their admiration. no mudblood is worth that. and his brother was a traitor of all it - why the hell would he tell him?

HP and the Birthday Weekend: DH Part 1 Reaction.

Okay, so it’s the last day of Freeform’s HP showing and I’m gonna be reacting to DH pt 1. Hope you enjoy! If you don’t want spoilers, don’t read.

I forgot how creepy the beginning is with the screechy buzzy.

Oh no it’s the obliviate scene. UGH NUUUU THE FEELS

YES THEY INCLUDED THE HARRY AND PETUNIA DELETED SCENE.

“You didn’t just lose a mother that night. I lost a sister.” Yeah, this is sweet and everything, but you should’ve ACTED like it and not treated that sister’s son like shit, Petunia.

That whole montage switching between each of the trio really sets the tone for the movie.

YES, THE TITLE IS HERE. LET’S GO

Okay, this is one of the few times I can appreciate the Death Eater’s flying thing because it’s Snape and he could do the unaided flight thing in the books.

Yes, Bella step aside. Let Moldy Voldy do his own dirty work for once.

Man, this is one of the times I pity Lucius. Also one thing I don’t get about this scene did he just snap off the handle or the actual wand.

SHUT UP VOLDY THE ONLY ABOMINATION HERE IS YOU

Harry leaving behind his Firebolt is just so sad. I mean, I know it’s just a broom, but it really shows Harry’s childhood ending

Oh shut up Mundungus. No one likes you

Dan Radcliffe in a bra never gets old. LOL

Well that Death Eater who got stunned is super dead. I thought Harry never stunned in the books for that reason.

Nuuuuuuu! Hedwig!

Is it only me or does Voldy look he look like he has hair in the scene where his and Harry’s wands meet?

Aww the way the trio hugs. AWWW MY BABIES

“We wouldn’t last a day without her” True Ron true

“Moooorning” Ilysm George Omgs

Oh here comes Scrimgeour with his annoying self

WHY WAS HARRY DISGUISED AT THE WEDDING???

Awe look at Hagrid and Madam Maxine. And also I need a Luna in my life. Sometimes I’m just too polite to tell people to go away.

Oh fuck off Muriel. Reading this scene in the book made me so damn uncomfortable.

Kingsley’s voice is so perfect for this scene. It’s so foreboding and chills evoking.

Gods this waitress is so damn oblivious. Lmao

Hermione needs to get her priorities straight.

UGH STUPID MUNDUNGUS RUINING EVERYTHING

I love how they included more parts of the Death Eaters looking everywhere for Harry besides the train. And then there was Neville being awesome as usual

Yay! Dobby’s here!

Lol so smooth Ron just casually dragging unconscious bodies into a shed. 

Oh I LOVE the toilet scene. It’s so creative and must’ve been so much fun to film.

“Have you tried an umbrella?” Lol SMOOTH Ron

Aww I feel so bad for Ron going there by himself. And poor Hermione too for having to be alone with Umbitch.

Lol Runcorn!Harry just casually sliding out is the funniest thing ever.

Oh Arthur’s here. This is super awkward

The fact that Umbitch can cast a corporeal patronus while wearing the locket just shows how twisted she is..

bITCH STFU MUGGLE BORNS DONT STEAL MAGIC 

That guy who says “It’s Harry Potter!” can choke

NO HARRY DON’T WEAR IT PUT IT IN HERMIONE’S BAG YA DUMBASS.

“Dumbledore tells you how to find all these horcruxes, but doesn’t tell you how to destroy them.” Yeah Dumbledore’s a dick

Uuugh why don’t they just put it Hermione’s bag?!!!! It’s not like anyone would find it under the pile of books and Mione’s not gonna lose the bag.

Also Hermione doesn’t strike me as the type to wear perfume so then Snatcher wouldn’t smell it.

Aww Ron bby there’s nothing between Ron and Hermione

I love Ronarry’s deleted scene. Them just acting like stupid teenage boys warms my heart.

ALL THE DELETED SCENES ARE SO CUTE. Especially the skipping stones one. He’s teaching her swish and flick and it’s WONDERFUL for my Romione shipping heart. The music doesn’t really suit the tone tho.

Oh no here comes The Scene. Ron’s about to leave

NUUUU I CANT TAKE THISg

SHUT UP RON HARRY HAS A FAMILY 

NO DON’T LEAVE

THERE! IS! NOTHING! BETWEEN THEM! DUMBASS!

OMGS EMMAS ACTING IS KILLING ME HERMIONE SOUNDS SO HEARTBROKEN I AM DEAD I AM DEAD

NO BBY DON’T CRY

Oh the dance scene is coming. This’ll be sweet. Still don’t ship them tho. Also, I thought Harry was supposed to be a horrible dancer

Okay, but no one has any sense of consequences in the movies. In PoA, Harry never used the cloak when he snuck into Hogsmeade and in this one Harry NEVER uses Polyjuice Potion. Like, yeah, there’s the fact that he doesn’t want to go to Jily’s grave as someone else, but Book Harry was smart enough to know that it’s DANGEROUS

The guy who plays Grindlewald reminds me of Anakin Skywalker.

NO HARRY GET OUT OF THERE

YOU HAVE A FUCKING WAND DON’T USE A BLOODY STOOL AND BRICK

Hermione being so exhausted and thinking of just saying that they should just stay there and grow old just breaks my heart

Oh god spiders poor Ron

YEAH RON DON”T LISTEN TO THE LOCKET

HARRY JAMES POTTER WHY DID YOU DECIDE GOING INTO A FREEZING COLD LAKE WITH SHEETS OF ICE COVERING IT SHIRTLESS IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER WITH THE DEVIL LOCKET WAS A GOOD IDEA YOU DUMBASS BITCH???????

Filming this scene must have been SOOO awkward for Dan and Emma. Kissing Rupert was hard enough for Emma, but Dan and Emma had to have a full out makeout session while groping each other and everything.

“Hey” SMOOTH RON

Yeah Harry you better run bitch Hermione’s pissed

Ron you are so WHIPPED. Put that hand down!

Oh gosh I feel so bad for Xenophilius. He sounds so empty

RON NO ONE CARES IF MOLLY SAYS MIDNIGHT

I forgot how epic and creepy the animation for The Three Brothers was. Props to Warner Bros for that

That house GOT REKT

Gods this music is so intense C H I L L S

JUST! FUCKING! CHILL! BELLATRIX!

Yay! Luna’s here!

DOBBY!

Aww Luna and Dobby are so cute

YES RON YOU PROTECT YOUR GIRLFRIEND

Dobby Ilysm 

GET REKT LUCIUS

“Dobby never meant to kill, only to maim or seriously injure.” Iconic

NUUUU IT’S ABOUT TO HAPPEN NUUUUUUUUUUU

NUUUUU DOBBBYYYY

Yikes they cut to a commercial break right 

“We’re all safe” YEAH EXCEPT FOR DOBBY HE’S NOT SAFE

Did you hear that? JUST THE SOUND OF MY HEART BREAKING INTO A MILLION PIECES

When Voldy breaks into Dumbledore’s grave it looks like they’re about to kiss LOL

So overall this was a great adaption. Intense and pretty good at keeping the tone. 

Anyway, on to DH pt 2!
