Regulus: *cooing at baby Harry and giving him all his attention*

James: *disgruntled noises*

Regulus: If you have a baby you can’t be the baby.

Pandora: Oh Reginald

Regulus: you're the only one that calls me that Dora, Reginald

Pandora: what does James call you

Regulus: my lord

Pandora: honestly, I see that

when you don't have a specific fanfiction consuming your entire being for a little while after finishing a specific fanfiction that already consumed your entire being so you're sitting there untethered and useless like you have no purpose or joy because you read everything by the author who wrote said specific fanfiction that consumed your entire being and you need to find another fanfiction that feels like feelings but someone else's feelings so you don't have to feel your own feelings because if you do that you'll explode into a billion pieces like that one person in crimson rivers which is ending in 3 chapters and i don't know what to do with myself after that happens help

part..1.5? how james got his glasses and pandora’s introduction!

pandora is what is considered by many a witch: she creates potions and accessories with what everyone considers magic, but is actually science.

the kingdoms’ opinions on these “witches” varies from admiration (gryffindor) to persecution (slytherin, ironic i know), however a kingdom in particular (ravenclaw) has academies where students can learn this “magic” (aka chemistry and physics)

pandora studied in one of these academies, but dropped out and moved to the forbidden forest to focus on her own experiments and be closer to nature’s resources.

if regulus’ parents found out his best friend is a witch, and that he is actively helping her in her studies, it would surely be a disaster (hence the “just like someone else in this room”)

now:

pandora and regulus having the same sense of humour <33

foot-blind means that he he’s short sighted (he can’t see his feet because they’re too far) and hand-blind means that he can’t see things that are close (like his hands), and the number of fingers is how serious the “blindness” is

giving james doe eyes might be one of the best design choices i’ve ever made

don’t think too much abt the fact that the first thing james saw clearly was regulus x

i lied in my last post, the wolfstar part will be in the next one w remus and marlene’s backstory (and lily’s) 🙈

[shadyblacklin]

James: I've found a Valentine's card in my pocket

Sirius: Yes, I put it there

James: But... Why did you sign it 'from R.'?

Sirius: What?? I- Remus????

Regulus: Yes, I've seen, he did it

Remus: *remember when Regulus made it in front of him* Okay, I did. Do you want to go on a date, James?

Regulus and Sirius: *aggressively jealous* NO.

[messer3ghost]

Imagine Lily and Regulus talking shit about their siblings

Lily: -and that’s how she embarrassed herself in front of her crush.

Lily: it was her fault really, wearing shoes that didn’t fit her and going down the stairs in those.

Regulus: I actually threw Sirius down the stairs once.

Lily: really? What for?

Regulus: he ripped a page out of one of my books

Lily: valid

*Sirius and James hearing the conversation*

Sirius: CAN YOU BELIEVE IT, TURNING LILY AGAINST ME

James staring dreamily in their direction: mhm

[vynaura]

im crawling out of the void with a piece i started when i first started reading crimson rivers! (at the time the first games had just ended)

also fighting my fear of shading hair and clothing by attempting a different shading style :D

[deermessrs]

Regulus, walking into the kitchen: Hey, good morning, lover

James: Hey!

Regulus: I gotta say, after last night, I’m a little weak in the knees

Sirius: *pops out from behind the refrigerator door and slams it shut*

Regulus:

James:

Sirius: Here’s an idea: you walk into a room…take a quick scan

[marymacdonaldspatronus]

ok here me out: sirius black, with acrylic nails

they’d be black, and he’d get little stars and moons on them

[themarvelmarauder]

Drunk James: I like hot guys, and girls. Mostly hot guys. Mostly Regulus.

Peter: I want my galleons Moony

Remus: fuck

Sirius: what

jegulus brainrot tbh

unpopular opinion: reading the books doesn't matter for jegulus because they're practically OCs. they are fanon drarry except reg is less problematic than draco because he got a small redemption arc and people can project whatever they want on him and make up his personality.

Strongly disagree to every single aspect.

First of all, James Potter is not an OC. He definitely has a canon characterization, both on his own and through the eyes of Remus and Sirius. Regulus doesn’t have a canon characterization per se but has canon characteristics. You also cannot write them without Sirius, who has a strong canon characterization. If you want to make up personalities, write OCs or small characters that don’t actually have any characterization (e.g., Evan Rosier, Dorcas Meadows).

Second, Jegulus and Drarry are not similar and saying that they are is a sign of why an understanding of canon is needed. I’m not even going to touch the problematic comment (LMAO) but not every enemies to lovers ship is the same? In this line of thinking Dramione is also the same? Drinny? Dron? Lucius/Hermione???

A relationship between James and Regulus is fundamentally shaped by Sirius. Best friends brother is a defining characteristic for them. The fact that James is how Sirius got out if crucial. They’re also more or less in a similar position as two rich, priviledged purebloods. James chooses to fight for whats right, Regulus conforms until the very end. In which he deflects because Kreacher is hurt. But he has that spark, look at the wording of his letter, so putting him with James is compelling because he can fan his flames.

Harry and Draco don’t have someone as formative as Sirius to their dynamic. They are the “different side of the same coin”, both of them are child soldiers indoctrinated and martyred to a cause they’re not wholly informed on. Their dynamic is built on the resentment of Draco’s broken fantasy of a friendship Harry rejects. They’re obsessed with each other, they can never ignore each other. They actively hate each other. They’re the person that draws the most emotion from the other to such a point that sectumsempra happens. But they also cannot let the other go. They are defined by their exchanges of lifedebts. Draco not identifying Harry at the manor, Harry rescuing him from the Fiendfyre, Narcissa saving Harry to get to Draco…

These are vital to their dynamic and none of these apply to James and Regulus. You don’t even know if there was hate between them. Sirius himself spoke of Regulus with disappointment, not hate.

So yeah, if you want to interact with these characters you need the nuance of canon. You can write them differently but you still need to be informed on who they are. They are not OCs and acting like they have no canon characterization is resulting in hollow, cardboard cut copy characters that neither fit together nor in the narrative.
