regulus was terrified of being a bad dad to harry.
t e r r i f i e d.
he worried, and he paced, and half the time he panicked if he was left alone with harry for even two minutes for james to go to the kitchen and bring back a bottle.
james was phenomenal with him, a natural. james was born to be a father. lily was an amazing doting mother, it all seemed to come so natural to her. mary always made harry squeal with excitement the second she walked into a room. but regulus felt as if he could never be a good father. he never had a good example, so how could he be?
so when harry potter was eleven months old, and took his first steps towards regulus, who at the time was not even paying attention to him. and james and lily screamed in excitement, scaring harry and causing him to not only just walk to regulus, but run to him.
well, regulus figured he must of not been doing to awful of a job.
and as he held a now crying harry who couldn’t understand why everyone was screaming and being so loud, and clung to his papa with tear stained cheeks and soft coos. regulus decided it didn’t matter how terrified he was of being a father, because he already was one, and harry seemed to think he was doing a pretty good job.
Walburga Black: You are not good enough for my son, and I don't want you around him. End. Of. Story.
James: *at the door with a guitar* so why don't you give me one more-
*door is slammed in his face*
So true
WESPER & KANEJ in Shadow and Bone (2021-2023)
Marauders & co as things my sister has said (she’s deranged, Istg)
- James: (Talking about storm troopers) look at them running around like tic tacs. Tica tica tica tica
- Barty: When I grow up I’m gonna be a Kidnapper
- Sirius: Can you touch this hole in my foot? Regulus: no. I don’t want to touch the hole in your foot. Sirius: Whyyyyyyyy
- Barty: See ya sisters! Wait are you taking a video? Take a video [regulus]! Okay. See ya sisters!
- Pandora: This foot massager is like dislocated bones wiggling around under skin. I love it
(These are all the ones I have written down in my notes app, but my sister is completely nuts and has said some way weirder stuff)
No one can tell me that Elio (call me by your name) isn’t literally regulus (and I don’t just mean that Timothee Chalamet “plays” both of them)
Because like, you can’t say that this:“I wanted him dead too, so that if I couldn’t stop thinking about him and worrying about when would be the next time I’d see him, at least his death would put an end to it. I wanted to kill him myself even, so as to let him know how much his mere existence had come to bother me-“ isnt LITERALLY regulus talking about James.
Also, they both have the music/poetry/literature vibes, and they’re both my babies, so yeah
James: I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’re my centre of gravity, without you, everything would float away and life would be nothing. I just don’t know how to explain how much I love you, my love for you is what I am now, I am nothing if not complete adoration for everything you do.
Sirius: I love you too prongs, you’ll never really know how much, but I do love you, so so much
*emotional loving embrace*
Regulus standing in the corner: what the fuck did I just witness
Remus: get used to it bud
I JUST FINISHED CHAIN OF THORNS AND OMFG GUYS I CANT.
anyways here’s the merry thieves as marauders (or the other way round idk)
Thomas -> James
Matthew -> Sirius
James -> Remus
Christopher -> Peter
And as an added bonus, the love of my life, Alastair would be the other love of my life, Regulus.
(I REALLY wanted James herondale to be James potter for the lolz but they’re just don’t give off similar vibes in my humble opinion)

Sirius will literally thirst over Remus in 3 layers of clothes or no layers. Fight me
sirius black loves everything about the winter season fr like permanent blush? yum. excuse for cuddles? delicious. remus lupin in three layers of clothes? does not get better than that
Sirius: *waking up* Wait so guys I just had the strangest dream
Remus: nope, I’m not listening to this
Peter: *already gone*
Regulus: Not this early
James: I’m listening babe 😍
Sirius: *idk, telling the strangest dream you will ever hear*
Regulus to Remus: are you sure they’re not dating
Remus: they better not be, since I’m shagging one of them and you’re shagging the other
Silence
Sirius: james…
James: *literally running for his life*
Regulus to Remus again: oh delightful
*james walking into the lounge to the walls covered in sticky notes and string and Regulus running around like a madman*
James: Love, it’s 3 am, what are you doing?
Regulus: I need to find out if Lizzie Borden killed her fucking parents or not, James. It’s really important
James: Come on honey, we can work that out together tomorrow, just come with me to bed.
