#regulus headcanon

(Regulus has a white streak in his hair, Regulus has a white streak in his hair, I'm a Regulus has a Mallen streak/poliosis truther. And this snippet is from my current WIP. Where Regulus has a white streak in his hair.) “Sometimes I forget what a contemptible pillock you can be,” Regulus huffs.

“Yes, I can feel the hate,” James says, voice laced with laughter, when Regulus sinks into him with a whimper after he rakes his nails over his scalp. He pitches forward and dusts a kiss to Regulus’ shoulder. “This haircut looks great on you. And I love this.” He catches the white forelock and twirls it around his finger. “It's so unique” 

“You do? I’ve always hated it.”

“Why?” 

Regulus shrugs, and James uses the pause to rinse the shampoo out of his hair and give a quick wash to his own untameable mane. Who knows, perhaps the expensive French cosmetics will manage what no product except for Sleekeazy’s has achieved so far and tame it.

“There’s a belief in my family that the white patch of hair denotes a wizard of extraordinary talent, and, well. You’ve met my family. Being a Black comes with enough expectations attached when nothing special sets you apart. Add a unique trait marking you for greatness, and you get the picture. And once I became the heir, the pressure to perform, to fulfill a superstition that’s probably nothing more than a genetic aberration, intensified tenfold.”

Regulus would definitely pick Sirius's long hair off James's clothes and say "who is she?" every time as a joke

[randommmthoughts]

James would do anything for Regulus

But he would do ANYTHING for Regulus if he asks it in French

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Regulus would be the type to write fanfics but completely be in denial about it Like:

Barty: Regulus is writing fanfics again

Regulus: They are not fanfics, I am simply writing some poems and stories about my favorite characters.

Barty: That’s what fanfic means.

Regulus: Shut the fuck up you don’t know shit!

Barty: you make them all gay!

Regulus: THEY ARE GAY IN CANON TOO!!

Regulus: I wasn't allowed to have knives so..

James: Yeah that makes sense, I wouldn't let you have a knife either

I love how as a fandom we decided that Regulus Black has cold hands.

We really said : “The twink with the locket? That’s a POOR CIRCULATION havin’ bitch if I’ve ever seen one.”

[fae-whispers]

Regulus, laying in bed: Get out of my room.  Sirius, standing just outside of the door frame: I’m not in your room.

[moonyspride]

james: DATE NIGHTTTTT

james: WHAT DO I WEAR

remus: clothes would be a good start mate

peter: oh and definitely some boxers

peter: unless you wanna go commando

sirius: jamie… please don’t turn up in your birthday suit to take my brother on a date

remus: reggie might like that though

sirius: don’t speak so daft remus

sirius: reggie doesn’t like naked bodies. he’s too young.

peter: he’s a year younger?

remus: sirius. question.

sirius: yes my moonage daydream?

remus: did you like the look of naked bodies last year when you were 17?

sirius, winking: i liked the sight of a naked you

peter: *walks out*

remus: padfoot.

sirius: oh come on. you practically gave me that one.

james: i mean you kinda did.

james: anyways. you’ve been no help at all.

Regulus goes nowhere without his noise cancelling headphones

[snarky-magpie]

So I was thinking yesterday how little we actually know about Regulus and his personality. Plenty of people, myself included, seem to HC him as somewhat taciturn, sarcastic, introverted, and not very social.

But what if we got it wrong. What if Regulus was a chatterbox, trying to drown the inside voices telling him he's worth nothing, that his parents love Sirius better, that he'll never compare to his older brother, by a constant stream of chatter.

What if Regulus developed humor as a way to cope with abuse and bullying. (It can happen. I mean, I'm a prime example. Every time someone compliments my fics for being "hilarious," I'm tempted to respond: "Thanks, that's my childhood trauma. It has pockets - of fun.")

What if Regulus found out that people don't bully him when they're laughing at his jokes.

What if Regulus was a class clown.

What if.

(I mean, I know it's not likely, but it's an amusing scenario to entertain.)

james: so,, moons did you get anything for valentines?

remus: yeah actually

james: what? who from?!

remus: a bunch of shit from some ‘S’ girl

james: wow i got a sweet letter from an ‘R’. wasn’t you was it moony?

(cuts to regulus and sirius struggling to understand muggle wrapping paper so their presents will look nice for their valentines but ending up tangled in tape and shreds of pink paper)

[the1970sdeadgaywizard-regulus]

Regulus signed off R.A.B in his letter to the dark lord after his death. Yes, it was because those were his initials, but also because that was his preferred initials.

Voldemort knew of him as his deadname, so by signing off with R.A.B, 1: Voldemort would not know it was him and 2: It was his final “f you” to Voldemort and his bigotry

[maladaptivewriting]

regulus black who struggles with chronic fatigue. regulus black who was never allowed to be sick as a child so now he fantasizes about developing a terminal illness so people will be forced to care for him. regulus black who was emotionally neglected by his parents. regulus black who only ever describes his childhood as “lonely.”

[moonyswarmsweaters]

Remus: are you a cuddler?

Regulus: I AM A MACHINE OF DEATH AND DESTRUCTION-

James: yeah he's a cuddler.

[thatdyingacewhoneedstheirspace]

is it just me or would Regulus absolutely tell Voldemort to suck his hypothetical dick?

[yourgalgremlin]

Some guy flirting with James @ the bar:

GUY: Hey pretty boy, I like your top

REG: I’m his top. Can I help you?

SIRIUS: (spits out his firewhisky)
