#bartylus as a family

[crimsonlovebartylus]

Think about Bartylus raising Draco, and first year Draco coming to bitch about that potter kid during winter break, and Barty and Regulus giving each other a knowing look because in first year they didn't really like each other.

[moonyswarmsweaters]

They can only agree on one (1) thing:

Bart: you don't want Regulus to die

Barty: and i don't want Regulus to die

Barty: so now we gotta make sure Regulus doesn't want Regulus to die.

Sirius: fantastic plan but have you met Regulus

[starrysillhoutte]

ok but the rosier twins + the black cousins were the most ethereal otherworldly beautiful people to ever walk the grounds of that school and I will not be taking any objections

[inkpads]

batshit barty 🤝 loony lupin

having a thing for the black brothers

[kayylivesinchaos]

@earthisaweirdplace yk<3

shit me and my friends have said but make it marauders era incorrect quotes pt3

Sirius: academic validation? haven't heard of her!

Regulus: academic validation? I live off that shit!

Sirius:

Regulus: ...it's a toxic relationship.

Sirius: I know.

(Modern AU) Grave-digger Barty getting caught by (“fuck, is that a ghost?”) no, its just elusive Regulus Black on one of his midnight walks- (because of course Barty’s in the Black family cemetery, that’s where everyone’s buried with hundreds of money worth of shit).

Barty’s heard of the Blacks- they’re terribly behind-the-times, never let their children out… the family’s been liked to a cult by a certain runaway. Barty reads the papers, he’s not daft. He needs to know when his politician father gets a raise, so he can go waste more of his money.

And Regulus, clad in clothes that Barty wouldn’t have doubted were a hundred years old, just stares at him- Barty’s scared this kid’ll start chanting some witch-y demon shit, but all he does is point to another grave, telling him, “that one’s better, if you’re looking for valuables. This one here’s my uncle Alphard. Mother didn’t like him so she didn’t bury him with much.”

Barty, brows furrowed in something akin to confusion and somehow thanks, climbs out of the half-dug grave.

“Thanks,”

He mumbles, and makes his way over to the ornate headstone Regulus had pointed to.

Regulus continues on his walk.

A day later, when Barty returns, he sees Regulus again- he doesn’t say anything to him, and neither does Regulus in return.

Another day, he sees him again. It’s odd, it’s like Regulus is purposefully walking in Barty’s general direction, but he never says anything. It’s weird as fuck, but Barty’s a little intrigued.

Of course, he rants about this odd boy to the Rosier twins- still elites in their town, though they had more freedom than the Blacks- Evan and Pandora knew Regulus through parties Barty’s father could only dream of attending. They told him all about the odd ‘Regulus Arcturus Black’.

The next night, Barty decides he’ll talk to Regulus, but this time he’s not walking- Barty can’t find him anywhere.

What he does find, though, is a small note on on of the gravestones of the grave he’d robbed last night- in obnoxiously pretentious cursive, it’d read:

‘You are Bartemius Crouch Jr. I know that because I saw you in the paper with Bartemius Crouch Sr. Please say hello to me tomorrow night. I will walk by Druella Black’s grave tomorrow night.’

Oh, so he was odd as fuck in writing, too. Barty, unfortunately, found it a little endearing.

(Safe to say, Barty and Regulus meet at Druella’s grave the next night. They continue to meet and Barty tells Regulus all about a number of things he’d never know outside of his family, and eventually Regulus realizes it really is a cult like Sirius said, and manages to get out, with the help of his new boyfriend 😁)

Things I don’t get about the marauders fandom as someone who’s been obsessed with them for literal years

1. How we let so many characters be only children?? like I get that people don’t necessarily want to make OCs but HOW did it get to this? James, Marlene, Peter, Remus, Mary, Barty, Dorcas, Alice, Frank and so many others! Idk maybe it’s just where I’m from but look me in the eyes and tell me you know that many people who don’t have siblings ALSO the ratio is so off and barely any of them have only child energy. It’s just not right.

2. How sooo many of you aren’t multi shippers. Like what do you MEAN you can only see James with Regulus and Regulus with James?? What about bartylus? what about sunrose? what about draksun/sunkiller? what about moonwater? what about jily? what about prongstail? WHAT do you read?? Aren’t you bored??? WHAT DO YOU MEAN you only have ONE ship for each character???? As a multi shipper, I can be convinced of any ship with anything ranging from a real good fic or a pretty edit to an enthusiastic rant from a random person on TikTok and it just makes things interesting. Maybe my adhd brain just needs more ships to focus on or maybe some of you just lack flexibility ( or imagination), but we need to fix this cause there aren’t enough fics with the ships I like 😭😭

3. THE SHIP NAMES. I can’t be the only one who thinks some of these suck right? Like why are we saying jegulus when starchaser and sunseeker are RIGHT THERE?? Same with jily and flowerpot, and bartylus and starkiller. ALSO some names make me wonder if some of you just haven’t grasped the concept of ship names or if I just got it all wrong cause marylily and jegulily are just annoying, why are we keeping the L in Lily? The point is to merge the names together not stick them one beside the other, I just say marily and jeguily because it rolls off the tongue so much more easily

4. The Peter erasure. I just don’t get it, it’s so easy to include him in things, you don’t have to make him a main character, but just mention him every once in awhile. Sometimes I’m reading an important scene in a fic and everyone is mentioned EXCEPT for Peter! It’s so easy, just make him roll his eyes at his friends being idiots or something. And it’s not like you’ll get his personality wrong, ALL THESE CHARACTERS PERSONALITIES WERE MADE UP BY FANS but I understand that some people lack imagination so here’s some things about Peter I like to imagine: he’s a HUGE gossip, like my man sees and hears everything and he takes notes!! He likes to randomly turn into a rat and take a nap in one of the other marauders’ pocket, he does it so much that they had to tell the girls that they had a pet rat cause they were asking too many questions. He’s really perceptive and his friends are all oblivious so it leads to funny scenarios like:

Remus & Sirius after YEARS of pining: we’re dating

Peter: I thought you guys had been together since third year?

Sirius: I’ve literally introduced you to people I was dating?!

Peter, shrugging: look mate I don’t question you lot anymore, you do whatever you want, I don’t care what you’re into, I just don’t wanna know about it

He also pulls people, like he’s really nice and will gossip to anyone who’s in his vicinity so he’s friends with basically everyone and he’s funny and pretty and he’s got charisma so he just charms everyone and when I say everyone, I mean everyone, even the slytherins have a soft spot for him (that’s how he gets accepted among the death eaters during the war actually). In pranks he’s the lookout so he often has to distract the teachers so he asks them random things and spits out half-made up facts about anything so he’s besties with most of the teachers which means he doesn’t get many detentions.

5. The Black brothers, more specifically the way the speak to each other in most fics, like they call each other “brother” so often and as someone who has a brother I’ve never called him that. Is it an anglophone thing? Like do people who speak English at home all do that or are fic writers only children?? (That would explain my first point actually) Or is it more a rich people thin?? Cause I know it’s not a francophone thing that’s for sure (also special mention to people who don’t know anything about French writing Sirius and Regulus as French speakers, I can tell you don’t know what you’re writing about but I eat it up everytime anyway)

6. This is actually just about ao3 but I WANNA BE ABLE TO LEAVE MORE KUDOS!!! I just loooooove fics but I can’t leave kudos at every single chapter and I’m bad at writing comments so I can’t show the author how much I love their work, I hate itttt 😭

7. Why there aren’t more fics about the Black family, and not just Sirius and Regulus, but Andromeda, Bellatrix and Narcissa as well like that would be so interesting and maybe like a deep dive into the Black family ideals and all that (if you have fic recs I’m all ears!!)

8. How jegulily is a pretty popular ship (which I LOVE) yet SO FEW people ship Regulus and Lily outside of it! They are a power couple and I love them and they don’t need James to work!!!

9. Why there isn’t more background Minnie x Poppy cause they are my mothers and I wanna see them moooooreeee

If you read all of this I love you 🥰 have an amazing day/night

[deathnguts]

I love how in character Jegulus is James ‘fixing’ Regulus and in character Bartylus is Regulus fucking ruining Barty

[the-emeralds-incorrect]

(no voldemort au)

when regulus became lord black Barty realized that a) he’s from a very prominent light family and b) he’s going to marry into the most renowned dark family AND ALSO BE LORD BLACK!! and ergo has double immunity. imagine how much shit he could go away with

[nixnight1]

Mi jefe me hizo un té 😭😭😭

Anyway...

I want to write a bartylus one shot, but one where Barty doesn't die, you know?

Lonely dancers

Like...

Barty and Regulus marry each other young and nobody knows that, till they find out and everyone is so upset because one: "wtf you didn't tell us?!" And two: "You didn't invited to your wedding you cunt!!!" So they decide to just plan a bigger wedding with everyone they love? And Regulus decides that if he's going to have a bigger wedding, he wants Sirius in it, so he decides to be brave and contact his brother

[risetherivermoon]

Barty probably had a time turner because he did all of his OWLs (kinda like Hermione did) and i 100% bet that he fucked with people all the time because of it,

like,

Barty, walking into a classroom after Regulus saw him walking in the courtyard out the window:

Regulus: where the fuck did you come from?

Barty: what do you mean?

Regulus: I just saw you-

Barty: you're delusional Regulus

Regulus: I swear-

Barty: ✨delusional✨

[stanelyurisisaliveandwell]

just thought of something so naturally, i refuse to suffer alone.

Imagine this:

Barty was the one who killed Dorcas. After the deaths of Regulus and Pandora, his mind was already starting to fracture. Dorcas was his childhood best friend who always had his back. The Regulus to his Pandora if you will. However, the war tore them apart. After he killed Marlene, Dorcas went after him for blood.

Two souls intertwined and fought it out because they knew no other way of life. Their mediators and the ones who would normally calm them were gone. I don't think Barty ver meant to kill Cas, he just saw an opponent and fought with all he had. They both died sorry

[maraudersandtears]

wait bro did I just figure something out

Class fight- Fake Bartylus from Evans pov Drama club- BLACK FAMILY ENERGY Strawberry shortcake- just Lily vibes Lily fucking Evans vibes MISS MELANIE??? WHAT IS GOING ON??? Tell me if I’m just crazy

[random-regulusblack-kinnie]

regulus: so i’ve come to the conclusion that i’m homophobic

regulus: cause i’m gay and i hate myself

[loonyloopylupin96]

Three weeks ago I found a song that sounded like it could be Regulus' anthem (or voldemort's tbh) and TIL it ended up second overall in my spotify wrapped

I didn't know it existed in October! 😂

[marauderswolf22]

we all know/reconize minimum one weird harry potter universe fan that ships the most odd, having lack of sense and trope, disgusting or shocking ship in the fandom and acts surprised or even bothered when you tell them you ship something like wolfstar, jily or drarry 💀
