Evan Rosier Was Mentioned One (1) Time In The Harry Potter Books In Passing And Somehow I Can Write A

“i am going to victim blame a child in an abusive household and claim this literal kid had enough power to stop the dynamics that were put in place since his youth. said child most likely also had much burden placed on him as he grew up because he had to take on a lot of responsibility, most probably keep the peace in the family, and had pressure on him to overcompensate for his older brother’s behavior.”

let’s not act like regulus being the golden child meant that he got off unscathed from his childhood, all children that grow up in abusive and toxic homes are victims.

pointing out his racist ideology and behavior is one thing and entirely just, but blaming a child (remember that he died at 18!) for not stopping his parents abusing his older brother is wholly unjust.

and let’s not act like sirius, james, and andromeda were perfect either :-)

i’m sorry but the hatred i have for jegulus is almost as strong as my hatred for snily

regulus literally let his brother get abused by their family and did nothing to help him. and don’t tell me he couldn’t have left, both sirius and andromeda had left and were doing fine on their own.

james is far too good for him and would never fuck around with a blood supremacist

no thoughts just regulus with a toujour pur tattoo

Sirius is wearing a Japanese inspired outfit to single him out but also because I managed to create a whole backstory in my head that I will hopefully share as a mini comic 🖤

did hogwarts students have to feed their owls? was there a school rattery? if not, how did the ecosystem around hogwarts support a concentrated population of hundreds of predators? did the owls pair-bond. did they fuck. were they distressed and defensive about being crowded together with so many rivals in a small territory.

okay but do u believe in uwu soft reggie or bamf dark regulus black?

i have um. thoughts on this

ok i used to think so much about how fanon regulus would be written if sirius hadn't called regulus "soft" that one time in ootp. like imagine all we knew about regulus was that he died when he was 18 and the last thing he did was literally tell voldemort that it was regulus who betrayed him.

but then i realise that it's even better like this. because why can't regulus have both sides?

i think it's even better if sirius thought regulus was soft and sweet "this kid must be protected" and all but to most people, he's actually an intimidating... scary person.

like imagine everyone being genuinely terrified of regulus's temper and then imagine first year slytherins only asking regulus for help because he's the kindest?

imagine regulus being sneaky and cunning and manipulative and resourceful and single-minded abt things he cares about. imagine regulus being the one who nobody argues with, whose quiet leadership nobody ever questions.

and then imagine regulus being touchy and sensitive and hurt when he's with sirius and then imagine all this happening at the same time.

basically, anon what i like to think is : regulus black is a bamf powerful proud spiteful haughty shit and he's also miserable insecure little brother house elf champ reggie. he isn't the louder one or the brighter one but that doesn't mean regulus ever lets himself be walked over by anyone. he's insecure in a way that you'll never catch onto. on the outside, he's arrogant and basically the perfect pureblood heir but inside he's maybe just a tiny bit crazy

i was actually writing something yesterday that sort of touches on this, u can read if u want :

"Sirius told me he was young," Harry said, remembering Sirius's words. "Soft. An idiot, really, not truly bad."

"Regulus Black was never soft," the man scoffed, something strange in his eyes. "He just didn't know how to be harsh with Sirius."

Harry stared at him.

"Dark," he clarified. "Powerful. Magic like an ocean wave. Frightening aura. The way he looked at you, the way he flew. You knew what was coming when Regulus Black raised his wand. But Sirius was always there for him, when he was a kid. Sirius raised him, infant to toddler to Hogwarts. If someone's seen you as a vulnerable, crying little child," he laughed, humorless, "You can't possibly be anything but soft with them."

so. yes anon. regulus is uwu soft reggie and bamf r.a.b i love him yeah thanks for the ask <3

what’s sad is that regulus would have 100% known that sirius would’ve never in his life betrayed the potters and i think about that a lot
