i think when james started flirting w regulus sirius didn't rly mind bc thats just james, and maybe he was even pretty happy to see james treat reg as he would any other of his friends. then he noticed regulus started to blush bc of the flirting and he was like "wait a fucking minute"
people don't understand that to me jegulus is a classic ship. 'it's started out as a joke' not to me!! this ship is the literal reason i joined the fandom in 2017, it was never a joke to me </3
chéri kinda hard to picture it bc ppl my age dont rly use it anymore, but it was the 70s so. kinda overused but it means 'dear/darling' which is cute and literal translation gives 'cherished' and i love that. 7/10
bébé he wouldn't. in french bébé is wayyyy less cuter and loving than baby in english. 2/10
mon cœur I LOVE IT. 'my heart' xsuujzaii such a cute pet name. so so so good. my fav. i also think if james had to pick a french pet name to call regulus it'd be this one cuz reg is the heart of the lion <3 20/10.
ma vie it means 'my life' so it could be cute in theory but thats literally how i call my girlies i can't take it seriously. 1/10
ma mie/ma moitié literally no one uses it in france anymore i only know this term bc old books. i know other french ppl would disagree with me but i find it so cute i mean 'my halff'?? i love it. 7/10
mon amour 'my love' is a classic obvi. tbh, not a lot of french ppl my age use it and its a shame i would die if someone called me that. 9/10
ma beauté 'my beauty' is cute but also only family member have called me that so i can't quite picture it. 5/10
mon ange ugh i love love love this one. adorable. underrated. 8/10
ma puce i hate this one. i only let family members. i see a lot of adult men calling their wife/girlfriend that but it doesnt give. 0/10
my personal ranking:
mon cœur
mon amour
mon ange
chéri
ma mie/ma moitié
ma beauté
bébé
ma vie
ma puce

so we all know that regulus writes sad boy poetry but you’re telling me that james in love with the idea of love potter, aka the biggest romantic fool who has ever graced the hogwarts grounds, wouldn’t spill his heart out on a parchement writing romantic poems cmon now
sirius ‘bros before hoes’ black and james ‘i seriously misinterpreted that’ potter
as much as i love secret jegulus with sirius finding out and going overprotective big brother mode, i also love the idea of sirius thinking that no one is ever gonna be good enough for his baby brother. but then again, he knows one person who’s always been caring, generous, kind, funny and really everything regulus deserves. and that person is none other than james potter, his best friend, aka the best person he knows. and so sirius tries to play matchmaker between a very annoyed regulus black and a reluctant but curious james potter <3
