my mice staring at the shadowy figure twitching, sobbing and cackling in front if a large glowing box at 3AM:
(i’m rereading crimson rivers)
The Black Brothers trying to explain his trauma to people
"how to prevent smile lines" there are a thousand more important things to do with your time than postpone evidence of life's joy on your face
Studying with a tired heart and a hopeful mind
a lot of life can be persevered thru by secretly playing pretend in your mind the whole time
Regulus: I don't need to go to bed. I'm not tired, I'll be fine.
James: But, darling, I'll be so lonely without you. Come curl up in my arms so I can feel whole again.
Regulus: O-oh. Well. Are you trying to seduce me into healthy sleeping patterns??
James: Is it working?
Incorrect quotes<3
the Blacks are sooo cunty. like wdym ur a problematic filthy rich family with a black sheep and a mamas boy who are both gay. the tabloids would eat this up.
you all want to act like he was a villain but lowkey regulus contributed more to materially defeating voldemort than sirius ever did.... my boy was stealing horcruxes and solving crucial mysteries meanwhile his brother spent like half that book series angrily sequestered in various rooms. and serving face
me after sitting in the sun for 5 minutes
i love the world so much. why do i often forget this
bro your whimsy. you forgot your fucking whimsy. your solemn and somber attitude is scaring the hoes
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
