Regulus Did I Beat You At Your Own Game? Black

TOMORROW IS THE 41st ANNIVERSARY OF JAMES AND LILY’S DEATH. IM NOT OK

James: I would SAVAGELY murder someone for you

Sirius: I would too!

James: You’re welcome

Sirius: I love you!!

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.

*sirius walked into a closet where James and regulus may or may not have been making out and now the doors stuck*

James: Well this is nice, just the three of us

Sirius and regulus: No!

Regulus Arcturus black was the most mesmerising person he had ever seen. From the moment he saw him, James was trapped, like a fly in a web. At the time, in second year, he’d thought it was hatred. But it wasn’t, was it?

Over time, he came to realise that what he felt for regulus wasn’t hate at all, but love. Although there is a very, very thin line between the two.

Even when he knew he should’ve hated him, James loved him. James loved him with everything he was.

In the end, hatred and love were two very different things for James Potter.

The moment Regulus Black laid eyes on James Potter, he hated him. Even before that, he hated the idea of James Potter. He hated his stupid face, his stupid, bright smile and the fact that he’d taken away his one lifeline in the cold life he lived.

The thing was, James potter was everywhere, there was no getting away from him. In the beginning, it was fine, fun even, James, along with Sirius, mocking him, picking fights with him. He could deal with that. But then, encounters like that became less and less, replaced with James’ bright smiles, his futile but constant attempts at becoming friends.

That was what broke regulus in the end, what made him admit that what he felt for James potter was more than just hatred. It was love.

Loving James potter was all consuming, regulus became love for James, all the while hating himself and James for it. He hated and loved James potter right up until the end, even after those cold dead hands pulled him into the black water, he hated and loved James more than anything.

In the end, hatred and love were the same thing for Regulus Black.

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

OK YES!??!?!??!!!!!

And yeah, he would so love the shooting range scene

Tv shows I think people from the marauders era would watch:

James and Sirius: H2o (and they’d fucking love very minute of it)

Regulus: Young Royals

Sirius and James (yes again, because I can): heartstopper

Evan and Barty: Heartbreak high (the new one)

Dorcas: the chilling adventures of Sabrina/gossip girl

Lily and Mary: Gilmore girls/ gossip girl (they’d talk about it with dorcas)

Lily: Anne with an E

Pandora: the good place

Pandora and regulus: umbrella academy

Peter and Sirius: teen titans go

Remus: shadow and bone (he’s obviously read the books first tho)/ derry girls

Marlene: atypical/sex education/ Kath and Kim

James and regulus: the end of the f***ing world/I am not ok with this

Regulus and Remus: the queens gambit

I HAVE REALLY DETAILED EXPLANATIONS TO ALL OF THESE BUT THEYRE REALLY LONG AND RAMBLY SO IM LEAVING THEM OUT
