I don't think we, as a fandom, talk enough about the trauma that Sirius most definitely had after escaping Askaban. This man spent twelve years in a place designed to break people's minds and spirits knowing that the people he loves and are still alive (Remus and Harry) think him a cold blooded killer who betrayed his most beloved friends. Remus wanting to keep a distance in Grimmauld Place cause god he can't do this all again it's just too painful, watching the man he lov-used to love more than anyone else slowly fall apart from his nightmare and his lack of sleep. The little stares when Sirus would start trembling after Molly raised her voice or the time he had a panic attack and started shouting, "NO PLEASE STAY AWAY" cause the lights went out. Until one night he was waking outside Sirius room and just heard him yelling screams of pure anguish begging for someone to let him go and he just wordlessly curled up in the bed with him and hugged him until he felt Sirius breaths calming down and his eyes slowly close
James meeting Regulus' friends for the first time as his official boyfriend was definitely a big thing for everyone involved except Regulus. Sirius already knew Barty and Evan from when they would hang out at the Black household so he just decided to terrorise the living shit out of James telling him that they're "super protective" "super scary" and that "their approval means the world to Reggie". Remus just decided to go along and presented Pandora (who he knew from a study group) as the ultimate boss of mean girls. And when James almost shaking walked into the coffee shop they had arranged to meet up what he saw was Barty putting salt in Evans coffee, Evan drinking and spitting said coffee all over Pandora and her just throwing little rocks at him
Geto "severe attachment issues" Suguru and Gojo "crippling abandonment issues" Satoru
I am so obsessed with the idea of Remus having a really hard time coming to terms with his sexuality and going through this difficult journey of self-discovery all by himself. I mean he always kinda knew that his disinterest in girls was kinda weird but when he turned 15 he started to realise that the way his eyes would follow different boys he found pretty was the same way James' eyes lingered on Lily. He already was difficult to love in his mind,being a werewolf and all, he was afraid that asking his best friends to embrace that additional part of himself would be too much. So he became distant, he closed himself off, and the situation became even more difficult for him when he caught himself staring at Sirius for a bit too long. All of that dramatic, serious, self discovery stuff and James fucking Potter had the audacity of just explaining "oi fellas I think I like boys and girls by the way" on a random Monday afternoon like it was NOTHING
Peter is a plant mum - he buys plants constantly to the point where they don't even fit in the dorm, and he gives all of them names. He will literally be late for important social events because he didn't water his plants, a process which takes like a good 30 minutes. He has favourite plants, for example, vanilla orchids, and when James bought him one for his birthday, he almost sobbed
Megumi "cold hearted, mean, stoic" Fushiguro who has a box of random little things from his loved ones - the tickets from the movie he and Yuuji went to watch on their first date, the receipt from his first dinner with Nobara and Yuuji, the bracelet Inumaki gifted to him on his birthday, a little dog key chain (the first gift Gojo ever gave him). He would never admit this to anyone, but whenever ye feels sad, he just sits and looks at the contents of the box, reminding himself that there was something worth fighting for every day
Mary and Lily kissed for the first time for "practice" before Lily went on a first date with a Ravenclaw boy. At that point Mary had been in numerous situationships with guys - the joke of her friend group was that she was to her core a fuckboy. But Mary couldn't explain that something always felt off, that she never got the sparks when those boys kissed her and touched her. And then she kissed Lily. And it was like her black and white world finally got color. The only thing running through her mind was "oh, this is it, this is what it's supposed to feel like". Mary at Lily right after the kiss with the most undeniable yearning in her eyes and Lily, sweet, clueless Lily, looked at Mary with the biggest smile in her face and thanked her for being such a good friend and preparing her for her date.
Gojo tries to convince everyone he has naturally perfect skin, but he does actually have a 20-step Korean inspired skincare routine that he follows religiously every night (Megumi blackmails him with that information all the time)
The Black brothers have an annual Ghibil movie marathon, and they rank their favorites (Sirius' is Howl's Moving Castle and Regulus' is Ponyo)
regulus and sirius would definitely watch my neighbor totoro together
The Slytherin skittles are Ghibil fans and one time they all watched "How's Moving Castle" together and Regulus fucking CRIED. Dorcas and Evan couldn't stop laughing, Pandora was just hugging him, Barty was absolutely shocked and Regulus was just cursing them all through his tears
Satoru was absolutely distraught for weeks after Suguru's death, so Shoko had to take care of him constantly. She brought him meals,made sure he drank water, sat next to him while smoking nd pretended she didn't notice him crying (he hates people perceiving him as weak),informed him about jujutsu news and silly gossip.She never really got to grieve Geto, one of her best friends, because she was too busy trying not to lose Gojo in his grief
Marlene is constantly doodling and drawing. She's one of the most talented artists Hogwarts had ever seen (which is so unfair according to her friends because how is she sportsy and artsy??) and it drove the girls wiiild. Her converse always had doodled stars, her notebooks were full of sketchss, and her hands would always end up decorated with little drawings by the end of the day. But no one knew about the one sketchbook Marlene had that worked for her like a diary - that's where she drew her thoughts and tried to express her feelings. This is how her notebook progressively got filled with drawings of the Slytherin girl with the dark eyes. At first Malrnene's drawigs of Dorcas were rushed, angry, intense but after some time the lines got softer, and an adoration, a gentleness could be sensed in the way Marlene drew the curve of her neck, her earrings, her beautiful hair
Mentioning the Secret History is enough to make me wanna forever bind souls with someone
Sirius and Regulus weren't allowed to read muggle stories when they were younger for OBVIOUS reason, and they never really felt the need to anyway. Until one day, Regulus got his hands on an old book filled with muggle fairytales, and he was absolutely captivated. He and Sirius would stay up at night under the covers with just a small light reading the same stories over and over again. Little Reggie was terrified of the story of "The Little Mermaid" because he couldn't bear the thought of Sirius leaving him and their house for someone he loved (like the Little Mermaid left her family under the sea for the prince). Sirius would always reassure him that that would never happen, that he would never love anyone more than his little brother. As Regulus was drowing in his final moments, he couldn't help but think about the irony of the situation, Sirius left him, and now Regulus was going back to his place in the water
The Slytherin Skittles got really worried at some point by how much caffeine Regulus costumes regularly, so one day Dorcas secretly gave him a decaff coffee, and I kid you not Regulus almost died that day. He couldn't keep his eyes open,he didn't really understand what was going on around him,he didn't make any sarcastic remarks (which had th entirety of Hogwarts l even the teachers lowkey worried for him) and Evan swears he saw him falling asleep on top of the mirror while brushing his teeth.
I truly wonder what was going through Sirius' mind when he learned about his mother's passing. I assume a big part of him felt vindicated, happy, free, maybe even a bit detached and indifferent (after all he hadn't seen his mother in a while) but I have to wonder if a part of him grieved the mother he never had, the love he never got. A part of me wonders if he got overwhelmed by the unfairness of his childhood, the acceptance that was so expected for the people around him and was never given to him, the parts of Sirius that broke and would always be a bit shattered because of the way his mother raised him. What if a small,tiny part of him, the part that would forever be a child desperately wanting his family's support, couldn't help but remember the small moments of protectiveness and gentleness his mother showed to him before everything, the way she hugged him before his first year at Hogwarts , the way she cleaned his bruises even though he knows she is the one that caused them
Dorcas and Marlene both came out as lesbians around the same time. The result was that every sapphic at Hogwarts was having a FIELD TRIP. Ladies were fawning over them,writing love letters, sending gifts. Marlene and Dorcas because of their ridiculous rivalry (and sexual tension) with each other ended showing off whenever one of them got a confession or a conquest (yes, they were a little bit of a fuckgirls let them be). Both of them couldn't understand why this particular game of theirs annoyed them considerably more than the others, until at one party Marlene honest to God full on made out with a girl while locking eyes with Dorcas. THE SEXUAL TENSION COULD BE CUT WITH A KNIFE EVEN PETER WAS SWEATING AND HES ACE
OKAY HEAR ME OUT I GOT AN IDEA. So we all know that Walburga would get absolutely furious whenever she saw Sirius receiving a letter from an owl,knowing its from one of his "dirty,traitor friends" so she would get furious at him and punish him even though it wasn't really his fault. Sirius never really told the rest of the Marauders cause he didn't want to worry them, but they understood that they should only write to him sparsely. One time, James sent a whole ass broom as a gift to Sirius, and it arrived a few days after Sirius had run away from the house. Fortunately, Regulus took notice of the owl before his parents did and decided to send it back to the Potter household, not without writing a letter, first absolutely cursing Potter. James didn't expect Regulus to bring the broom back let alone write and he got so shocked by just how beautiful Siriu's little brother's handwriting is and his flowery choice of words even while writing an angry letter. And BOOM letter correspondence and then they fell in love
The first time James truly talked to Regulus, met him and not just the idea and the concept of him that he knew from Sirius, was when he went to the Astronomy Tower one night to calm down after an incredibly intense panic attack. It was dark and silent, and the last thing that James was expecting was to get punched right the moment he walked in. When he opened his eyes, he saw a teary-eyed Regulus Black looking messy, shocked with himself and surprisingly not put together, so different to the constantly perfect boy James had seen around at school. And James would look back at that moment, even knowing that what followed was a "what the fuck Potter?" coming out of Regulus' mouth (even though he was the one who fucking punched James) and say that that's when he started falling irrevocably and maddeningly in love with Regulus Black

Kageyama and Hinata bicker all the time, so most people who meet them think they don't really like each other all that much. That's what Miya Atsumu thought too the first time he saw the pair together. But during training camp, he saw Kageyama's eyes visibly soften when talking about Hinata. He ranted about it to his twin later. "I mean god, Osamu, his voice got all gentle and shit it was SO CHEESY." Later, when Miya wanted to put his contact info in Kageyama's phone, he noticed the photo that Tobio had of Shoto as his homescreen wallpaper. The photo looked so intimate, Hinata was lying in bed sleeping, his hair all ruffled. Miya knew Kageyama probably made fun of Shoyo when he woke up ( He did "You fucking idiot, are you really falling asleep in the middle of an action movie??"). Miya also knew that Kageyama probably cuddled next to Shoyo (He did "Oh shut up Tobi just come here I'm tired" "Fine I guess I could sleep too" "Aww you like meee" "Shush Shoyo") (Miya is not jealous he's fine without that, really. Who needs all that stupid love shit anyways.)
Regulus absolutely ADORES cats, but because of his father's allergies, he never got to have one of his own when he was young. When he moved in with James, the boy was so SMITTEN that the moment Reggie turned up in the house with a small kitty and looked at James all full of hope and excitement he couldn't say NO to keeping the cat. That however ended with James having to think up a BILLION different excuses to keep Sirius outside of his and Reggie's apartments "oh you know the electricity is broken" "why not go out the weather is so lovely" (it was indeed raining). Regulus found it all endlessly amusing and even more amusing to him was the absolute look of horror and betrayal in Siriu's face when he saw the little black kitten for the first time
Remus,Lily,Dorcas,Regulus, and Pandora have a little book club, and they just meet up and get all pretentious about different books it's honestly amazing. At some point however it did evolve into just monthly gossip and roasting sessions where everyone was telling their relationship drama and getting feedback "For the last time Lupun I don't wanna hear about you and my brother fucking". "Dorcas, I think you should stay prioritising yourself and expressing your desires to Marlene."No, Pandora, I understand where you're coming from, but I think you should break up with him already." Said partners have tried multiple times to overhear on these conversations, and they always end up getting found out and hexed
In his teenage years Gojo really wasn't the type to take pictures - selfies, places, people, he generally had the Facebook mum attitude of "live in the mood, don't try to capture it". After Geto died, all Gojo wanted to do was look at pictures of his ex best friend, his beloved, because he was terrified by the prospect of forgetting Geto's face. He had encountered so many dead jujutsu sorcecers that after a while their faces started to blur together and he couldn't stand the idea of forgetting anything about Geto's face - the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled, the way he threw his head back when he laughed, the way his hair always seemed to fall in front of his eyes. He was devastated when he discovered how few pictures he had of Geto, how many of the moments they shared could only be found in the labyrinth that was his brain. Because of that, because of his constant fear of losing his beloved, he takes pictures all the time. Megumi is fucking tired of it at this point. Yuuji, Nobara and Megumi will be doing the most simple stuff and they'll suddenly hear the click of Gojo's phone. Shoko will be literally cutting someone open when Gojo decides to take a picture of her. Not only that but he prints them and keeps them in a little box in his office. They don't know how he looks at them everytime he feels anxious or stressed, or how he carries one of the only pictures he has of him and Geto alongside a picture of him and Shoko and one of Megumi laughing on his birthday in his wallet at all times
Another way that Remus is just like me fr
Remus: Fuck capitalism. It's a rigged system that keeps us poor and it isn't fair. You shouldn't need to work three jobs to afford basic necessities.
Remus, playing Monopoly: Sorry, if you wanted to win you should have tried not being poor.
James Potter had the most embarrassing musically phase. He did every trend conceivable with a lot of passion, too, and those videos are honestly Remu's favourite things in the world. He planned ahead (because he's a mastermind like that when it comes to embarrassing his friends) and downloaded every single musically James ever made before he deleted his account when he suddenly developed a sense of self presentation and embarassement. Whenever James pissies Remus or tries to argue with him about something Remus mutters a song James has made a musically too or says "Reggyyyy I have something so interesting ro show you" in the most annoying tone and James just caves.
My name is Nour, and I’m 21 years old from northern Gaza.
I once lived a peaceful life with simple dreams, but everything changed on October 7th, 2023, when war tore through Gaza. I had to flee my home, leaving behind everything I knew, and now I live alone in a tent made of torn fabric in southern Gaza.
The constant bombings are unbearable, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects me is even harder.
I live in constant fear of judgment and violence. On top of this, I face extreme shortages of food, water, and basic supplies.
Life has become a daily fight for survival.
Dear LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters around the world, I turn to you in my time of desperate need. I have no one else to ask for help. The world around me looks at me with disgust, and I can no longer bear this life. I am exhausted, broken, and alone. Please, I beg you, help me leave this place and find safety, dignity, and a chance to live as myself. I cannot survive here any longer. Your support is my only hope.
Every day, I fear for my life. But I refuse to give up. I want to live. Please, your support can make all the difference. Every donation, no matter how small, gives me hope for a better tomorrow.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Sometimes, especially after particularly difficult and draining transformations, Remus would end up delirous, burning with a fever and drenched in sweat. It was in one of those instances during their 5th year that Sirius stayed with him in the nursery, wanting to just keep an eye and take care of him. Remus was so sick and dazed that he didn't quite know if he was in a dream or not, especially when he opened his eyes and he saw Sirius, his Sirius, softly caressing his face and pressing a cold towel on his forehead. He couldn't tell if he was awake or not when he grabbed Sirius and just barely let his lips touch the other boy's just before letting his eyes close. Remus of course didn't remember any of this the next day which is why he couldn't explain why Sirius couldn't look him in the eyes and was o insistent on bringing up his new girlfriend in their conversations all the time
Classics are so weird because you will be reading the most beautiful writing known to mankind, absolutely heartwrenching quotes and brilliant themes, and then you will be hit with the most VIOLENT RACISM AND SEXISM
Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and I’m writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.
The ongoing war has devastated my family. We’ve lost 25 family members—each one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeply—their laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.
We are now facing daily challenges to survive—things that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.
💔 Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. 🍞 Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. 📚 Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my family’s dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. 😢 Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.
I’m sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if you’re unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.
Your kindness, no matter how small, is something we’ll never forget.
Your support is not about changing our entire situation—it’s about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you can’t donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.
Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ❤️
