Angst fics can help people come to terms with their own grief, begin healing, or give people that good cry that they need.

Smut fics can help people affirm and accept their sexuality. It can help them explore their sexuality in a safe way. They can also just be fun, and having fun is a drastically undervalued way to improve your mental health.

Dark fics can help people face their fears or process their trauma. It can make them feel safer and more secure. It can help them find their courage.

Fluff fics can give people rest and respite and comfort. It can give them hope that soft places exist and that maybe there is one out there for them. It can bring up their mood, which, if they have depression, can be a life saver.

And every fic people write makes someone feel less alone.

Point being, just because a particular thing doesn’t serve you, doesn’t mean it lacks value.

This is not to say that we have to consume all fic uncritically. Of course not. It is just to say that entire “genres” aren’t trash or lacking value just because they don’t serve you.

the way the skittles found out that regulus had a crush on james was that regulus is SO annoying about grammar and corrects everyone’s smallest mistakes but he lets it slide completely with james.

Dorcas: Did Potter just say more better?

Pandora: Surely not? Regulus didn’t correct him

Evan: He did say more better though

Barty, nodding: Reg wants the dick. I’m afraid it’s terminal

[aibremlk]

*regulus and james gasping for breath after barely escaping the cave with the locket*

james: *slaps regulus across the face*

regulus: what the fuck, potter!?

james: that’s for almost dying.

james: *kisses him*

james: and that’s for saving my life.

regulus:

james: i always wanted to do that

guys james, barty and sirius were literal fucking geniuses and some people seem to forget that. like, yes james runs head first into poles, but one glance at a paragraph from a textbook and he's gotten it memorized. yes sirius sets his quills on fire when he's bored but he also knows 4 languages (french, english, latin, italian). yes barty drinks so much it's genuinely concerning, but he did all 12 OWLS and got O's on all of them. characterizing them as complete and utter idiots is just. no (imo).

[aibremlk]

(james’ first time formally meeting regulus’ friends)

james (pointing to barty and evan) : are they lovers?

regulus: worse, they’re fucking stupid.

[aibremlk]

tw - nsfw ?? i mean nothing explicit is stated

(regulus broke character for the first time after years when orion read it out loud in the most monotonous voice and laughed very hard)

Wolfstar:

"Moony?"

"Yes, Pads?"

Starchaser:

"Jamie?"

"Yes, love?"

Rosekiller:

"SKANK"

"WHAT"

[aibremlk]

James: And what do we say when life disappoints us?

Regulus: Called it.

James: No.

[aibremlk]

James: Could you close the door for me please?

Barty: *opens the door wider*

James: Bitch-

[aibremlk]

Regulus: *literally glaring at James*

James: if you keep undressing me with your eyes like that,

James: I’m going to catch a cold~

Regulus: *chokes on air james*

[aibremlk]

Sirius: Oh, come on Prongs- just tell me who's your crush!

James: NO!

Sirius: Ugh... At least describe them!

James: ...umm, okay

James: He’s got really pale skin, almost white— like porcelain, kind of.

His hair is dark and curly, black as a raven’s wing, and it always looks kind of messy, but in a good way, and it always falls into his eyes in the softest way...

His eyes are this really light blue, but in the sunlight they almost look silver.

And he’s skinny— like, really skinny.

Sirius: OMG! That's sounds just like me! ...or more like Regulus, I guess...

James: ...

Sirius: ...James?

James: ...

Sirius : Say it's me.

James: 🙄

Sirius: SAY IT'S ME, JAMES.

[aibremlk]

Regulus : take me to an art museum and make out w me

James : but they said not to touch the masterpiece

Regulus ; well someone's got to pin the artwork to the wall

[aibremlk]

James: So you know how I went to the pharmacy?

Regulus: Yeah?

James: They’re going to be out of my ADHD medication for another week

Regulus, getting up: I’m going to stay with Remus

James: In sickness and in health, mother fucker!

[aibremlk]

I just saw a video of a deer licking a cat's face and the cat looked mildly annoyed but didn't move and my first thought was JEGULUS

[aibremlk]

James: Hey Reg, can you pass me my glasses?

James: Reg?

James: Reg, they're like, right in front of you. On the coffee table.

James: Regulus.

James: ...are you ignoring me?

James, pouting: Baby, please.

Sirius, around the corner: Pay up.

Remus, handing over money, still staring at the pile of clothes with a wig James is talking to: You know what, I'm not even mad. Wow. I didn't think he was that blind.

[aibremlk]

regulus being one of the richest people in the wizarding world and still using james’ money for everything.

regulus: i want that. james give me your wallet

james: here baby *hands it over and kisses his forehead*

[aibremlk]

Regulus is a forehead kisser btw. He doesn’t care about whatever height James has on him, he will absolutely yank him down unprompted and kiss his forehead.
