Save me... save me Jegulus Icarus metaphor...
Whenever Regulus sees something ugly he points at it and says “Look James, it looks just like you”
Do you love Regulus Black or do you just love the idea that you can be as mean and awkward and judgmental as you want and the perfect person will fall in love with you as you are?
Remus: *looks at Sirius* I know what I said
Remus: Fuck the rich
James: *staring at Regulus* If you insist
Marauders & co. at an airport/ on a plane
James: Looks in every shop at the airport, is really hyper up until he gets on the plane, then he’s pretty chill
Sirius: Terrified of flying on a plane (will fly on a literal broomstick but can’t even think about flying in an enclosed space). Brings his skincare to do on the plane.
Remus: Forces everyone to get to the airport early, packs the night before, is at least 20 people’s airport crush. Reads the whole plane ride
Peter: Brings snacks, magazines, games. Gets lost but makes friends with some random person who he’ll never see again
Marlene: Goes into every shop with James, will not chill out on the plane (always asks the flight attendants a million questions), is that annoying person who claps when the plane lands
Lily: Helps Remus rangle everyone into coming to the airport early, has her whole suitcase organised, sleeps on the plane
Mary: Forces everyone to get to the gate early, first in line onto the plane, gets really stressed (especially going through security)
Regulus: Looks chill, but he’s actually really scared of planes (like Sirius), has monogrammed luggage, listens to music on the plane. Sits on the aisle seat
Pandora: Is actually super chill, has the “we get there when we get there” mentality. If no one dragged her along to be early she’d turn up as the gate was closing. Brings her latest craft project onto the plane (not like messy stuff, like crochet or embroidery or smth)
Dorcas: Makes sure no one gets lost, is at least 20 people’s airport crush (like Remus), is willing to put people on one of those backpack leash things. Talks to people on the plane.
Evan: Tired™️. It doesn’t matter if the flight is at 1pm, he’ll still sleep at every chance he gets. Goes crazy when the airport has a Lego shop. Sleeps on the plane (obvi)
Barty: Is extremely annoying. Won’t be ready when everyone has to leave, definitely forgot something at home, is super annoying on the flight (will be that person that “asks questions” when the flight attendants are doing the safety thing), claps when the plane lands.
I had this really weird dream last night that regulus was going to work but Sirius had taken his phone and he was really upset. Then James came and stared baking him a new phone. Like full on eggs and flour and shit. It was really cute but I’m still kinda scared. Like what was that about??
Marauders & co as things my sister has said (she’s deranged, Istg)
- James: (Talking about storm troopers) look at them running around like tic tacs. Tica tica tica tica
- Barty: When I grow up I’m gonna be a Kidnapper
- Sirius: Can you touch this hole in my foot? Regulus: no. I don’t want to touch the hole in your foot. Sirius: Whyyyyyyyy
- Barty: See ya sisters! Wait are you taking a video? Take a video [regulus]! Okay. See ya sisters!
- Pandora: This foot massager is like dislocated bones wiggling around under skin. I love it
(These are all the ones I have written down in my notes app, but my sister is completely nuts and has said some way weirder stuff)
Star “if the only way to love you is to let us die” chaser
Tv shows I think people from the marauders era would watch:
James and Sirius: H2o (and they’d fucking love very minute of it)
Regulus: Young Royals
Sirius and James (yes again, because I can): heartstopper
Evan and Barty: Heartbreak high (the new one)
Dorcas: the chilling adventures of Sabrina/gossip girl
Lily and Mary: Gilmore girls/ gossip girl (they’d talk about it with dorcas)
Lily: Anne with an E
Pandora: the good place
Pandora and regulus: umbrella academy
Peter and Sirius: teen titans go
Remus: shadow and bone (he’s obviously read the books first tho)/ derry girls
Marlene: atypical/sex education/ Kath and Kim
James and regulus: the end of the f***ing world/I am not ok with this
Regulus and Remus: the queens gambit
I HAVE REALLY DETAILED EXPLANATIONS TO ALL OF THESE BUT THEYRE REALLY LONG AND RAMBLY SO IM LEAVING THEM OUT
Dorcas: So regulus, do you have a crush on anyone?
Regulus: the only crush I have is my crushing anxiety
Regulus: and also James
(Inspired by a post by @ivysincorrectquotes!)
*james walking into the lounge to the walls covered in sticky notes and string and Regulus running around like a madman*
James: Love, it’s 3 am, what are you doing?
Regulus: I need to find out if Lizzie Borden killed her fucking parents or not, James. It’s really important
James: Come on honey, we can work that out together tomorrow, just come with me to bed.
Regulus Arcturus black was the most mesmerising person he had ever seen. From the moment he saw him, James was trapped, like a fly in a web. At the time, in second year, he’d thought it was hatred. But it wasn’t, was it?
Over time, he came to realise that what he felt for regulus wasn’t hate at all, but love. Although there is a very, very thin line between the two.
Even when he knew he should’ve hated him, James loved him. James loved him with everything he was.
In the end, hatred and love were two very different things for James Potter.
The moment Regulus Black laid eyes on James Potter, he hated him. Even before that, he hated the idea of James Potter. He hated his stupid face, his stupid, bright smile and the fact that he’d taken away his one lifeline in the cold life he lived.
The thing was, James potter was everywhere, there was no getting away from him. In the beginning, it was fine, fun even, James, along with Sirius, mocking him, picking fights with him. He could deal with that. But then, encounters like that became less and less, replaced with James’ bright smiles, his futile but constant attempts at becoming friends.
That was what broke regulus in the end, what made him admit that what he felt for James potter was more than just hatred. It was love.
Loving James potter was all consuming, regulus became love for James, all the while hating himself and James for it. He hated and loved James potter right up until the end, even after those cold dead hands pulled him into the black water, he hated and loved James more than anything.
In the end, hatred and love were the same thing for Regulus Black.
IM SORRY BUT TONGUES AND TEETH BY THE CRANE WIVES IS LITERALLY REGULUS?!?!?
James: I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’re my centre of gravity, without you, everything would float away and life would be nothing. I just don’t know how to explain how much I love you, my love for you is what I am now, I am nothing if not complete adoration for everything you do.
Sirius: I love you too prongs, you’ll never really know how much, but I do love you, so so much
*emotional loving embrace*
Regulus standing in the corner: what the fuck did I just witness
Remus: get used to it bud
Every day, every single day, I hate myself for coming into the the marauders fandom. And to whoever decided that Happy Xmas (war is over) with videos of the marauders would make a good tik tok, I hope you suffer every day with the thought of the people you have hurt
It’s always “regulus fell first but James fell harder” but what if James fell first and regulus fell harder?
Regulus, not sure why James potter, popular, bold and loud, was interested in him. Regulus feeling things he’s never felt before and wondering why he felt like that. Regulus realising that he loved James, his love for James becoming all consuming, him being scared because he’s never felt like that before, nor has he ever had someone feel love for him that James potter did.
Regulus loved James so much he gave the ultimate sacrifice for him, but he didn’t realise that James loved him just as much as he loved James, he didn’t realise that what he did would affect him in the way it did. Why would he even think about it? No one had cared about him before. But James potter loved regulus black more than anything, and a part of him always would.
James was the sun, but get too close to the sun and you get burnt.
In the dorms before a quidditch game (James is always in pep talk mode)
James: Sometimes life is hard, but we always bounce back
Remus: Nah
Regulus: speak for yourself
Sirius: james, I love you mate, but have you met us?
Peter: *high-fiving James because he’s a positive king*
Sirius: wait… why is regulus here?
James:
Regulus:
IM LITERALLY CRYING
Whsksvwksvaksv
HE KNOWS IM PISSING MYSELF
OH MY GOD YES
"The first time we met I was looking up to you. Suppose I still am."
"Did you think I was looking down on you? When we met."
"Weren't you?"
"No. More like... admiring the view."
Sirius: *waking up* Wait so guys I just had the strangest dream
Remus: nope, I’m not listening to this
Peter: *already gone*
Regulus: Not this early
James: I’m listening babe 😍
Sirius: *idk, telling the strangest dream you will ever hear*
Regulus to Remus: are you sure they’re not dating
Remus: they better not be, since I’m shagging one of them and you’re shagging the other
Silence
Sirius: james…
James: *literally running for his life*
Regulus to Remus again: oh delightful
Regulus POV
As he turned the corner, Regulus saw James standing there, in the moonlight, staring up at the stars. He looked so peaceful. Slowly, he turned to leave, but the other boy called out, “stay.” And so he did. He would do anything for James, no matter what, which was why he was here in the first place.
To say goodbye.
“James,” regulus said, his voice coming across normal, even though he felt like a raging storm inside, messy and strange, but empty. “Regulus,” James replied, turning to face him, “I haven’t seen you in ages.” Regulus realised that this was a bad idea, he couldn’t do it, but he was here, so he spoke, “I know. I just wanted to say goodbye.” James went to speak, opening that beautiful goddamn mouth of his, but regulus kept talking, “I wanted to say that you were the only thing that brought me true happiness, that you were the reason I believed in love, and that I still love you. So much James, so much.” He could feel tears forming, but he fought to keep them from falling. “Reggie, whatever you’re going to do, don’t.” Said James, taking a step towards regulus, his face broken into a million pieces. Oh, he could always tell when something was wrong, when stuff just wasn’t right, hopefully he can find someone who appreciates that just as much as regulus does. “I can’t James,” he said, trying not to just give in and run towards him, “I have to.” And then, he apparated away
James’ POV
Suddenly, regulus was gone, leaving James standing out there, in the cold, confused, sad and broken. It hurt to see him, his darling regulus, after all those months, but he still shone just as brightly to James. Something was wrong though, that much he could tell, and he knew he had to check on him. So James went back inside the flat he shared with Sirius and found the one thing he kept of regulus’, the one object that was so familiar to both of them, that they would know it even after death, a golden snitch. He grabbed it and whispered a spell, and it started tugging him in a direction.
James ended up at the entrance of a cave, the treacherous waters crashing against the rocks, this had to be the wrong place, but the snitch kept tugging, only this time stronger, so he followed it. It got to a point where he had to conjure a boat, and sail through the water, towards an island, where he could see a silhouette of a person being dragged down by cold, mutilated hands, and he jumped out, running towards the other boy. “REGULUS,” he shouted, “REGGIE.” He got to the body, and dragged it out of the grip of the creatures, but it was limp and cold, his lips blue and his face deathly pale.
As James cradled the body of the boy he loved, he sobbed, and screamed, the sounds tearing themselves out of his throat. Why had he done this? Why had his beautiful, darling, lovely regulus done this? Later, much later, he would find out, and his already broken heart would break even more, but he didn’t know that at that moment, so he kept screaming, and sobbing, and holding his one true love.
*sirius walking in on James and regulus*
James: It- it’s not what you think it is
Regulus: It is
Sirius: But you’re my brother
Sirius: And you’re my other brother
Sirius: This is incest
Regulus: At least mother will be happy
(Throughout this whole thing James is just there slowly combusting)
OKAY HEAR ME OUT I GOT AN IDEA. So we all know that Walburga would get absolutely furious whenever she saw Sirius receiving a letter from an owl,knowing its from one of his "dirty,traitor friends" so she would get furious at him and punish him even though it wasn't really his fault. Sirius never really told the rest of the Marauders cause he didn't want to worry them, but they understood that they should only write to him sparsely. One time, James sent a whole ass broom as a gift to Sirius, and it arrived a few days after Sirius had run away from the house. Fortunately, Regulus took notice of the owl before his parents did and decided to send it back to the Potter household, not without writing a letter, first absolutely cursing Potter. James didn't expect Regulus to bring the broom back let alone write and he got so shocked by just how beautiful Siriu's little brother's handwriting is and his flowery choice of words even while writing an angry letter. And BOOM letter correspondence and then they fell in love
The first time James truly talked to Regulus, met him and not just the idea and the concept of him that he knew from Sirius, was when he went to the Astronomy Tower one night to calm down after an incredibly intense panic attack. It was dark and silent, and the last thing that James was expecting was to get punched right the moment he walked in. When he opened his eyes, he saw a teary-eyed Regulus Black looking messy, shocked with himself and surprisingly not put together, so different to the constantly perfect boy James had seen around at school. And James would look back at that moment, even knowing that what followed was a "what the fuck Potter?" coming out of Regulus' mouth (even though he was the one who fucking punched James) and say that that's when he started falling irrevocably and maddeningly in love with Regulus Black

Whatever you do today, absolutely don't think of Jinx and Ekko as a Jegulus variant (they make me sick and I wanna die)
The Slytherin Skittles have the TIME OF THEIR LIVES bullying little kids on Roblox. Every time Regulus is in a bad mood, he just logs in and makes cocky 12-year-olds cry. The first time James heard him (after he woke up in Reggie's place one day), he was so SHOCKED because he had never heard Regulus-sarcastic-side-remarks-Black curse that much. Also, that kind of online bullying is classical Rosekiller activity. They just get on Tiktok or Twitter and write the most random controversial shit ("yall, i think democracy is kinda overrated??") and watch shit unfold
Remus used to call Regulus “Baby Black” at first but eventually the nickname turned into just “Baby”
Regulus usually wouldn’t like it but it drives James and Sirius mad
