everyone’s always talking about how james is such an amazing dad, and yeah, he’s awesome, but can we take a moment to talk about regulus as a parent? i mean, let’s just agree that he’s sooo attentive, and sooo loving, and he always lets their kid hang out with him in the kitchen while he’s cooking or cleaning, just listening to them go off about random stuff like, "daddy, mr. snuggles (aka the stuffed bunny) said he doesn’t like carrots. we had a fight." and regulus will give this exaggerated shocked look and be like, "no way? seriously? you’re telling me?" all wide-eyed and dramatic, and they’ll just go back and forth like that for hours, because their kid’s got the same endless chatter as james
"the black family madness" the books call it. "the consequences of inbreeding" is what it actually is
Sirius being absolutely obsessed with Remus and Remus worshipping every breath Sirius takes is my favorite Wolfstar dynamic.
Thinking about Regulus talking James's ear off about things he enjoys (but only in private cause he has a reputation to uphold) and James being silent only when he's with Regulus (he too has his reputation to uphold) and actually listening... Reggie is happy cause someone is listening to him for once in his life, and James is happy cause he doesn't have to be 'the happy person' for once.
James Potter's loyalty to his friends as seem by Snape:
“Like father, like son, Potter! I have just saved your neck; you should be thanking me on bended knee! You would have been well served if he’d killed you! You’d have died like your father, too arrogant to believe you might be mistaken in Black — now get out of the way, or I will make you"
James Potter's loyalty to his friends as seem by Lupin:
"No, I think you're like James," said Lupin, "who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends."
Marlene: You’re going to need to socialize.
Lily: What? No, I don't wanna do that.
Mary: You're going to have a great time, you might meet some new people.
Lily, burying her face in her book: No, no, no, no!
[James watching young Luna and Harry]
Harry, running in: Papa! Papa!
James: Yes?
Harry: Luna said the B word!
James:
Luna, also running in: Motherfucker doesn’t start with B, Harry!
Sirius getting in trouble and McGonagall not calling his parents because Sirius was disowned, but also not calling the Potters because they had to take care of talking to James.
So, she decides to bring Regulus to her office and just let him yell at Sirius.

honestly love being in the marauders fandom, there are so many talented creators, especially fic writers. like i read popular fics from another fandom, and it just does not hit as hard as the masterpieces yall create over here. other ppl are getting emotional over stuff, and i don’t even bat an eye bc of the absolute tragedies the marauders have put me thru.
regulus opened the little box of the day in the advent calendar james made for him and found a free therapy session for him and sirius. he is very offended.
