what's your favourite version of Regulus' death in a fic and why?
i like when he’s alive actually
i love stories about betrayal i love depravity i love tragedy i love miscommunication i love backstabbing i love when characters encourage each other to be worse i love dysfunctional partners i love misfits & i love it most of all when they are bisexual
Snape is Reg’s no bullshit friend who tells it like it is, Barty is the “tearful conversations about our daddy issues at 3 am” friend
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

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.
my favorite character type is a character that is gay but they have no romantic chemistry with anyone because of how fucking insane they are
the whole point of the marauders was that they were a flawed, toxic friendship full of mistrust and codependency and inequality!!!
also, writing / reading about them is SO much more interesting when sticking and exploring the canon versions of the characters
What the Marauders actually were:
A group of Bullies and Enablers with unequal power dynamics. James and Sirius being the ring leaders, Remus being an enabler who'll throw his self-respect under the bus if it means that he'll get to stay friends with you and Peter being a cowering rat who'll worship the biggest bullies in the playground.
What the Marauders weren't:
Whatever shit they spewed in ATYD
the tragic death of regulus black 😔
Of course Regulus and Voldemort didn't like each other, they were both competing to be supreme emo
