Omg Absolutely Do It, It’s 100% Worth It

Hi new mutual 🥰 hope you’re having a great day

Omg hi✌️ I’m admittedly not having a good day but I hope your’s is great I love your work😘

K so like, Sirius always wanted to be a rockstar right? He always dressed super punk and has the voice for it.

But imagine…

Regulus felt like he could never talk with people about his problems. He was always so alone and felt even lonelier.

But then he over heard from some Ravenclaw that they keep a journal to help them get all their emotions out.

He decides to do so. He writes everything he feels he can’t say. He lets his handwriting get messy, he scratches things out. Some pages are just lists or bullet points. It’s the one place he can actually be himself. The only way he can figure out who he is.

He stops feeling like he’s fading away. He has something to hold onto. He can identify his feelings and really understand them.

Soon he just has journals filled with half finished poems, song lyrics he overheard (from people like his brother who refused to turn down their music), chord progressions he can’t get over from his concertos, and now, he has full songs.

He knows who he is now. He runs away to muggle America and starts a career as a mysterious new singer who just showed up on the rock scene. Violin and guitar are basically the same instrument, right? Of course his skills will translate.

His songs are filled with anger, sadness, and pain. He writes about his family, the loss of his brother, his cousin, his uncle, and what it feels like to have everyone who you loved forget you. But he also writes about joy. For having had a brother at all, for having friends (even if they are three feet tall and hate everyone except for him), for falling in love with a boy he met in a recording studio who was saved by music just like he was.

He writes about the war and the guilt of running away instead of fighting alongside his brother. And about reconnecting with said brother after Voldemort was killed by Dumbledore (Just go with it).

He was finally happy.

And if his brother got super jealous after finding him on the cover of a magazine in the boots he used to wear, well that’s just a bonus.

*Story involves Drarry (probably the only drarry I’ll ever post)

This has been floating in my head for a while:

So Regulus and James dated but then broke up and Jily happened.

Regulus doesn’t join the death eaters and they all survive the war.

So one night Harry wants his whole family to meet his new boyfriend. So James, Lily, Sirius, Regulus, and Remus are all in the living room when Harry comes home holding hands with Draco.

They all look at this emo slytherin boy who’s the son of Narcissa Malfoy née Black. Then they see this tan boy with crazy hair and the biggest smile. Sirius just bursts out laughing.

Harry doesn’t know why his dad and Regulus are staring at them in shock or why Sirius is dying laughing. He asks what’s wrong.

Sirius composes himself and just says, “Do you also happen to fancy a ginger?” Regulus kicks him out of the room for that comment.

That’s the night Harry found out his dad and Regulus used to date.

Things James would call Regulus:

Little king

Lionheart

Little star (NOT to be confused with bright star who is Sirius)

Love (Reg calls him lover)

Gumdrop (because it annoys the FUCK out of him)

Lucy (let me explain. Everyone calls him Reg so he decided to call him the end of his name instead of the beginning but ‘lus’ was weird so he said Lucy)

Broom boy (affectionate)

James calls him lots of things but these are the most used.

James even called him shawty once and Reg only spoke to him in French until he promised not to do it again.

I knew I should have put a disclaimer first!!!!! I just thought people would realize this is my own characterization of Regulus and I probably shouldn’t have put Snape as the comparison but other death eaters in general. I’m so sorry if I made you mad I just fixed it now.

One small difference between Snape and Regulus is how they react to people wanting to join the death eaters.

A younger slytherin comes up to them and tells them they want to become a death eater too.

Snape is fully supportive. Tells them all about the glorious things the Dark Lord has done. Tells them they will have to work hard to gain such an honor and he will be waiting to see them at the next meeting.

Regulus tells them they are making a huge mistake. They will be used as a pawn in Voldemort’s game and, if not willing, forced to kill. He would say it isn’t worth your life.

He tells that kid every horrific thing he’s seen or heard about (he’s still in school so he hasn’t participated in it yet). Better to be scared than dead. He makes sure they don’t want to participate in the war at all.

They are both death eaters, they both support Voldemort and have seen the unspeakable things that have been done. But Regulus knows when he’s being manipulated, and he’ll be damned if he let someone be in the same position as him. It’s too late for him, he’s too deep in the war. He realizes it never mattered what they were fighting for, people are dying no matter what they believed in. He doesn’t want to contribute to that number more than he has to.

Do it. Wanna know why? BECAUSE YOU CAN

How would you all feel if I did a Wolfstar/Marauders through Hogwarts story? Kinda like “All the Young Dudes” except not as good XD, no one can beat all the young dudes MsKingBean89 is a literal genius. But how would you guys feel about that?

That doesn’t matter!!!! Just do it because you want to and if people like it that’s just a bonus

People can say what they want about Jegulus but at least we can all agree it’s better than Drarry.

Too bad Drarry’s the one that has happy endings. 😐

My thoughts EXACTLY. The perfect post.

I believe that the reason why so many people like Regulus Black is because he is a blank slate. like we barely know anything about him other than the fact that he was a seeker, Sirius’s younger brother, a death eater at age sixteen, in a good relationship with a house elf and died around the age of seventeen or eighteen. another thing is that writing him is so interesting because of his circumstances, like boy grew up in a blood supremacist household, had Sirius Black as his older brother, Walburga Black and Orion Black as parents, was friends with Kreacher. There are just so many possibilities on what kind of person he could have been. He could have been a blood purist until he realized that muggle-borns are just as good at magic as purebloods. Or he didn’t believe his parent from the start but kept quiet because someone had to keep the peace in this shit hole of a house and it sure as hell wasn’t Sirius or Walburga. he could have been a very nice boy and a goody-two-shoes who tried to please everyone. or he could have been a ruthless young man who was tired at the unfairness of the world, bitter towards his older brother who left him to rot with his crazy mother and distant father. he could have been an animagus. knew Remus was a werewolf. friends with halfbloods or even muggleborns. maybe he was bisexual or demisexual or asexual. he could have been in love with James Potter. best friends with Barty. there are just so many headcanons and possibilities with Regulus because he is a blank canvas for us waiting to be brought to life and we can project ourselves on him and mold him to our liking and hoe we see fit. and this is why I think regulus is such an interesting character even though we know so little about him.

**this is my own take on Regulus. Literally none of this is canon.
