I know people probably already hc this but what if while Sirius learned ballet, Regulus learned how to ice skate.
Sirius loved ballet but couldnât skate for shit meanwhile Regulus learned how to do all the tricks and flips and stuff (I donât skate I have no clue what the lingo is)
So whenever the lake was frozen over he would go super early in the morning and practice what he only got to do a couple months a year.
James, being the maniac who gets up at five in the morning to go for a jog, is one of the only people to actually see Reg skate.
At first he couldnât see it was him and thought âthis dudeâs gonna fall on his ass trying to ice skate in the darkâ. He couldnât make out much but was mesmerized by the figure who moved so elegantly on the ice.
He would only realize it was Regulus an hour later when the sky finally started to lighten up. Regulus was taking off his skates when he looked up and saw James fully facing him (away from the jogging trail). They both stayed silent until James whispered âbloody hellâ and speed walked back to the school.
Every morning they would see each other, maybe nod, exchange pleasantries, until one morning. The ice was too thin to skate on and Regulus certainly wasnât going to risk it, so instead he joined James for his early morning jog. It shocked James, and if Regulus was being honest, it shocked him too. They ended up having a really nice conversation. That was the morning they both realized they had a crush on each other.
YES THIS ENERGY ONLYđ
The best part about being a marauders fan is there is pretty much no character information so we get to have these characters with very light information and do whatever the fuck we want with them and no one can say otherwise? All of them are gay? Sure! James is desi? Absolutely! Remus is welsh? Yes please! Marlene played quidditch? Yep! Lily and Remus were besties? Totally! Dorcas uses she/they pronouns? Hell yah! Regulus was in love with James? He is now!
There are no rules and she can suck it because theyâre not her characters anymore. Every single minor character, every ship, every head canon is canon if we say so!
I wrote my first fanfic if you wanted to read. Thereâs not really a plot. Just a lot of jegulus flirting. Hope you like itđ
Someone notices Regulus singing a song nonstop and when they ask him what song it is he just says he doesnât know and walks away.
And then like a month later the song comes out on the radio and that person is just losing their shit.
Seer! Regulus but it only allows him to randomly know songs (mostly muggle) that have yet to be written. Like imagine he goes to to Lucius and Narcissa's wedding and just starts humming 'Barbie Girl' by Aqua.
Sirius pisses him off and so Regulus screams 'Who let the dogs out' at the top of his lungs.
11 year old Reg just strolls down the Hallways singing Mr Blue Sky. (On bad days it's A Thousand miles by Vanessa Carlton)
regulus vs the divination professor
The most well thought out analysis Iâve seen so far. Lightly touching upon each character (except for the Alaska group but who cares about them anyway), their arcs, and their relationships, and then moving into the problem with the marketing. All of it is amazing thank you for this.
Man, for a show Iâve fallen in love with and had so much anticipation for, I ended up kinda wishing I hadnât watched vol2.
Spoilers and a huge rant under the cut
The whole time I was literally shaking with nerves about what was gonna happen to Eddie, to all of them. His last moments (the whole last two eps honestly) dragged on for what felt like hours. It wasnât fun; it was nerve wracking. And yeah, maybe itâs my bad for getting so attached to a fictional character in a show where people die, but so what? He makes us happy in a time where things arenât going super well, brought us comfort. If we canât use fiction as an escape, whatâs the point of it?
All that aside, Iâm still disappointed about other things. El saying goodbye to Brenner and finding her strength was great, as was the whole thing with Hopper, but other than that? I spent the whole four hours dreading what was gonna happen. I feel like they took the whole âall hope is lostâ thing way too far. Watching Lucas hold Max while she begged to die made me fucking sick, as did watching Eddie sacrifice himself. I hate this trend of having people guess whoâs gonna die, itâs just sad. Lucas getting beaten up by Jason, who, yeah he died, but didnât get what he deserved. He was grieving and deranged, and then he was nothing.
And like they touched on Steveâs character arc for a split second before taking ten steps back. I donât believe that he wants to get back with Nancy because he keeps finding new people in his life, new experiences that change his worldview. Why go back to a girl that is hung up on someone else? This isnât even a steddie thing- they couldâve touched on his growth without involving her. Heâs someone who protects people now, who keeps putting others before himself and doesnât stop fighting no matter what. Maybe he doesnât even need a canon relationship to find worth and value. The dream with the kids was cute, but heâs so much more than some guy who can save the world but canât move on from his first love. I want them to have love for each other, but they both need more.
And man, Nancy and Jonathan are really dragging on. I like them as a couple, really! But couldnât they have other conflict? Or keep the conflict without involving Steve? All that buildup for them to lie to each other about how good they are, it just doesnât make sense. I expected Jonathan to tell her the truth about college, or have him circle back to thinking about what it would look like if they kept holding on.
And yeah, Robin and Vicki at the end was just some hetero âwe donât know how to write queer relationshipsâ bullshit. Just because theyâre both girls and can have things in common doesnât mean they need to be the same person. Robin deserves better than that, even someone who knows what sheâs been through (winking at you ronance shippers).
I knew Byler wasnât gonna happen, but man, they really couldnât have had Will and Jonathan have a better conversation? Even at the end? Itâs like âeveryone knows so it doesnât need to be saidâ but why not?? How is Will any different from Robin, who is somehow the only character who can openly talk about her queerness? Because heâs a boy? Because heâs young and in love with his best friend? I donât wanna watch him cry in the back of the van with Mike if theyâre not gonna have some kinda resolution.
I am gonna keep talking about Eddie, actually. His death was wretched, yeah. But the thing that breaks my heart is that now his name is tainted beyond death, and the people who loved him are silenced and pushed to the side. The Munson Murders, what a tragic end for a character who was so loving, so kind and gracious to everyone around him. And how are the writers gonna act like no one else in the group is bothered by his supposed death? They got to know Eddie, they risked everything to save him, and you canât tell me that itâs business as usual after all that. If he is dead, itâs the worst insult to his memory. Ya know whatâs better than dying a hero? Getting justice! Living to see another day with the people who love you! He couldâve become a braver person if he lived and he was already a fucking hero, because just like Steve, he cares about the kids. I canât imagine what Dustin will go through and I really donât want to.
So yeah. I know that the writers wonât see this, but I hope with enough pushback theyâll revive his character. If they can do it with Brenner after having his brain turned to mush, they can do it with Eddie after getting the same wounds as Steve. Especially after El brought Max back from the dead.
And man donât even get me started on Netflix feeding into the Eddie love the whole time, it feels so vicious of them. Rbing steddie fanart and acting like his character was going somewhere. Like we get that little tidbit about Eddieâs dad teaching him to hotwire a car and for what? To never see him again? I donât believe it.
Okay, I need to stop. Thanks for reading, Iâll be writing a fix-it fic within the next few days <3
âThose poor boysâ
âShe deserves to be punished too.â
âIâm not saying I support rape, but-â
âSorry to say - she deserved it.â
âShe put herself in harmâs wayâ
âBut if she was fingered, then thatâs not rape.â
âShe ruined their lives.â
Hot take: Jack was Roseâs manic pixie dream boy
Okay, I donât know if anyone remembers the movie Hot Rod, but the marauders fit so well with James as Rod, Lily as Denise, Sirius as Dave, Remus as Rico, Peter as Kevin, and Regulus as Maggie.
Okay, but do you all also realize how regulus issues in Carpe Noctem are all trauma responses? Because him trying to please everyone and constantly trying to keep the peace despite how it affects him badly, he doesnât think his opinion matter, and tries to avoid all confrontations as long as possible. His characterization in that fic is honestly all so heart breaking, itâs like he doesnât even think he matters as a person.
