James and Regulus hyphenated their surnames.
They wanted to break the cycle. They wanted to prove that having the name Black did not inherently make you evil. Regulus never truly believed he had escaped the burden his name brought until James added their names together. If James can be a Black, then the name can’t be so bad anymore.
And all their little children got Black-Potter as well.
GIGGLING I LOVE THEM
Regulus: My future partner must be brave, strong, intelligent, successful and organized.
James: *steps on a caterpillar and proceeds to drop to their knees and sob while apologizing profusely*
Regulus: That one. I want that one.

Hello hello users of tumblr :) I would like to make it known that I am incredibly awkward so if this is the most stilted intro post you've ever read... you know why

People stared at the makeup on his face Laughed at his long black hair, his animal grace The boy in the bright blue jeans jumped up on the stage Lady Stardust sang his songs of darkness and disgrace ✦ . ⁺ . ✦ . ⁺ . ✦
Fandoms/media I enjoy: Marauders, DPS, Arcane, Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Tpobaw, Friends, Hamilton and many many more.

reminders:
if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.
if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.
if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.
mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.
if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.
if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.
if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.
your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.
did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.
in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.
we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.
jokes on you i do care. someone write this. right now. that is a direct order and a threat
i’m aware this is my very personal niche and you won’t care BUT
Architect James who is known for being an engineer’s absolute NIGHTMARE because all his designs are planned from the aesthetics viewpoint not the construction one
Engineer Regulus who always found comfort in maths, and who loves a challenge so fine if nobody else at the company will work for this jackass he will- oh my GOD HE’S AN ACTUAL NIGHTMARE
“you need a column there”
“what? no that ruins the whole view”
“the ceiling caving in will ruin the view”
Incredibly rich (thanks Alphard) Artist Sirius that hires James to design an art gallery for him, also makes sure to pay james to lead the entirety of the construction so Sirius won’t need to be involved
ahem regulus not knowing he’s working for his estranged brother
also james and sirius having meetings, sirius who loves anything artistic adoring James’ designs, prongsfoot friendship my beloved
finaLLY James and Regulus find middle ground on a design james likes and regulus can actually confirm wont crumble to the ground, Sirius approves it and so starts the construction phase
contractor remus working w regulus and james on site, who is missing a construction worker. enter barty that wants to have a “humble” job just to piss off his politician dad. besides it’s a good workout reggie so how bad can it be?
supportive stay at home boyfriend Evan who, like Barty has enough money to not work but unlike Barty has no desire to sweat his day away, so he just visits from time to time to drop off baked goods for the crew (yes he bakes wonderful french pastries)
sirius absolutely will randomly visit the site bc he is bored and impatient, somehow always misses regulus but does meet remus. doesn’t mention the fact he is the owner of the building they’re working on and therefore his boss
food truck cook Peter who is friends with remus and always has him let him know what new project his crew is working on so he is always there on site for lunch time
meanwhile marketing genius Mary and graphic designer Marlene working w Sirius to promote the gallery. fellow artist lily getting mixed in bc her art will be displayed in the gallery too. photographer dorcas gets involved later on
Guys I'm sorry but there's no way Xenophilius is cis like that is either a non-binary spec person or a trans femme idk they're just SOMETHING like come on dawg named themselves that name to add some sparkle
without arts & crafts we are in hell
