If ya hate Regulus Black then block the frick fracking tag and move on
Dont, however, hate on the character we know so little about and argue with people for expanding his lore or whatever shit its called
Also, I cannot stress this enough, don't hate on the character and use its tag. I'm tryna look at posts of my favorite boy and then i see "regulus black sucks"

Regulus Black did not die just for people to call Draco Malfoy the prince of Slytherin

I adore your galaxy brain, and I also raise you this idea: Rab looks at Ogler's Digest magazines because he wants to be like the girls in the magazines. In one of the 2D quests, a bunch of old men are turned into bunny girls. If you talk to Rab at some point in the quest, he says "Hm, maybe I could become a bunny girl? Aye, that wouldnae be so bad—it might give me a new lease of life!"
Ever since then, I've just imagined that when Rab said he was reading the magazines for the articles, he was telling the truth because he wanted to learn how to become a bunny girl. I love that option so much more than the old "horny grandpa" trope.
somehow my one celibate hendrik text post is like the most popular thing I’ve ever contributed to the dragon quest community and every so often people still comment on it.
anyway I also have opinions on rab do you guys wanna hear them

Here is my version of Regulus Black for this month’s CDChallenge.
He is definitely an amazing character, and Hero, that needs more attention.
Regulus goes to show that just because you’re Slytherin and a Black, the series’ usual antagonists, being a Slytherin or a Pureblood (not to mention being one of the most notoriously fanatical of the families) doesn’t make you evil.
Although he became a Death Eater, He later on actually realised that Voldy is batshit (Despite how he was brought up, He’s got morals!). He was the first to discover that Voldemort made Horcruxes, and even gave his life to destroy that part of Voldemort (He’s smart!) at only 18 years old. He was also kind to his house-elf, Kreacher (awesome).
I gave him shorter and neater hair than Sirius because since he’s practically the opposite of Sirius, I got the impression that he values and understands the responsibilities of being a member of House Black. Since Sirius left home, I’m sure he became the heir to House Black and that he would take that role seriously, even embracing it; especially since his brother set such a rebellious example that he would want to show that he is very different from his “irresponsible” older brother, that House Black would be in good hands with himself; that’s also why I wanted to emphasize his regal-ness and why I wanted to show him in non-hogwarts robes. But the snitch shapes cape/coat clip would be a nod to him being a seeker when he was a student.
Regulus is also a star in the Leo constellation (JK Rowling’s metaphors or whatever you call them are so awesome) so I gave his coat’s hood some fur to subtly reflect a Lion’s mane. The red shadow, is also a reference to his Bravery. You don’t need to be a Gryffindor to be brave, but just because you aren’t Gryffindor, doesn’t mean you can’t posses some of its qualities, like Bravery.
I made his wand white because brown would be the common wand colours, and I wanted to show that he was very different. But I chose white specifically because it gives the impression of goodness and I wanted to reflect that side of him. I kept his wand simple because I got the impression that Sirius was the more flashy and extroverted of the two, and although Regulus’ would be the one who is proud of his lineage, he would be the more quiet and subtle kind of person.
Hope you guys like my version of Regulus 😁
━─━────༺༻────━─━ how I perceive Bartylus, a thread-
⋆༺𓆩B.C.Jr𓆪༻⋆ -slytherin -6'0 -italian -pomosexual -a triple capricorn -plays the bass
˖⁺‧₊R.A.B₊‧⁺˖ -french -5'7 -slytherin -gay -plays the piano -occasionally sings
HEADCANONS- -barty gets regulus peonies and baby's breath every 2-3 weeks -they have composed almost 50+ songs together but they never put them out as they are "personal" -regulus is the only one who has seen barty cry -regulus once punched barty's dad -barty was the only friend that his parents never completely approved of -when regulus first hugged bartys mom he cried -they go to therapy together every week and then get bagels as rewards -they started living together after 7th year -they both are horrible cooks and mostly eat at dora's although barty can cook italian food(few very particular dishes)
-barty does the dishes and regulus does the laundry -their house is warm and cozy, unlike their childhood home -they have a jamming room and spend most of their time there -they live in paris because it was regulus's dream
"they wanted each other in a way of flesh wanting to knit itself over a wound"

Does this make sense? I hope it does
The Archer (Regulus' Version) Part Two
Part One | Part Two |
Song: The Archer by Taylor Swift
Characters: Regulus Black, Sirius Black, Walburga Black, mentions of Narcissa Black and Andromeda Black
Warning: hurting someone you love, implications of child abuse, self hate
Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
Aged 15
"You aren't to talk to him, Regulus. He is no longer your brother. He's just as bad as those Potters." Walburga warned her son, just as he was boarding the scarlet steam train to leave for the next term at hogwarts.
He had to listen. He didn't want to, but he had to. To protect not only himself but, more importantly, protect him.
"Regulus. I've been so worried, are you okay!? Did they hurt you?" Sirius asks, checking regulus for fresh injuries, the moment he see him on the train. Regulus stands onfront of him for a moment, frozen. He looks better, he still has a bruise around his eye. His arm has a few new scars, thin and neat, like the rest. But their are no longer black bags under his eyes, his hair isn't matted with blood, his eyes aren't red. He looks better. That's enough for Regulus. He's okay. He's going to be okay.
His big brother will be okay without him.
So, without a word, regulus walks right past him and down the train. He walks straight into the furthest Carriage from his brother, scarring a bunch of first years out and curls up on the seat and cries and cries until his eyes are dry.
I never grew up, it's getting so old
Help me hold onto you
Aged 16
Regulus had had a bad day. He was sent a howler for his mother in the Great Hall because his grades had dropped a little, but he was still top of all his classes.
Sirius had tried to talk to him about it. He had to shoot him down. He walked right past him like he was a ghost, again.
He went straight to his dorm, thanking merlin that it was empty. He took his old poetry book out his trunk and took out the picture from inside of it.
It was a picture of him and sirius. Regulus was nine, sirius had just turned eleven the day before, according to the date on the back.
They were stood in the garden. Sirius had his arm around Regulus' shoulder, a wide, happy grin on his face. Regulus was smiling too. He didn't do that often now.
Narcissa took the photo. She saved it for regulus and gave him it not long after sirius left.
Now, he would look at it any time he missed his brother. Anytime he longed to curl up his arms and cry. Whenever he wanted to simply turn back time to when this photos was taken.
It was one of his last really happy memories.
Andromeda was disowned a few weeks later.
I've been the archer
Aged 15
Regulus turned the corner in the dungeons, and right infront of the common room door, leaning against the wall, was sirius.
He stood up the moment he saw Regulus, his eyes full of hope but also hurt.
"Regulus, please. Can we talk?"
Regulus stayed quiet, staring at him with no emotion. He'd lost count of the amount of times Sirius had tried to talk to him since they'd returned to school. He needed to get him to stop, for both of their sakes.
Regulus would do anything to protect his older brother, just like Sirius had for him when they were younger.
"Reg, come on. Please. I'm your brother." He pleaded desperately.
In this moment, regulus said something he would regret until he took his last breath.
"Your not my brother. Not anymore." He walked past, bumping his brothers shoulder roughly as he moved to enter the common room. He opened the door and put one foot in the passage. He turned his head to see Sirius standing frozen, looking at him with tears rolling down his cheeks. But he still had that hope in his eyes.
"Your a Potter now. A filthy. Little. Blood traitor." Regulus spat. And the hope crumpled up and died.
Regulus hated himself. But he loved Sirius. He did what he had to do.
I've been the prey
Who could ever leave me, darling?
But who could stay?
Aged 17
"Your worthless." Walburga slammed the door, leaving regulus curled up on the floor, still shaking.
He lay there the rest of the night, waiting for Sirius to sneak into the room and help him into his bed, give him a drink of water and curl up with him as he sobbed, telling him stories of the things they'd do when they left. Or stories of things his friends had done.
But, deep down, regulus knew he wasn't coming. He hadn't come in years. He'd left.
Sirius was gone and regulus was left alone.
Left alone with his regret and his hurt. Alone with his demons.
He didnt think he could forgive Sirius for getting out, but he never would have forgiven him if he'd stayed.
I can't look at a mince pie normally ever again
Thanks for that @her-smile-forges-galaxies
Ngl, Snakes and Lions is literally my new favourite fanfic after I finished it yesterday. Literal perfection.
EVERYONE GO READ: Snakes and Lions by her_smile_forges_galaxies on AO3 if u like dark/deatheater Remus Lupin, platonic moonwater, slow burn Jegulus and even slower wolfstar with side ships of Dorlene, Pandalily and Rosekiller
Regulus Black would have loved Ian Gallagher
i feel like regulus black drops out of college because he knows he is smarter than everyone there.
i could talk for hours abt regulus being a college drop out like it just fits him so well. I’m sorry i know the public will disagree but no one gets him like i do. he thinks he has to go to uni and get a degree bc it’s what hes supposed to do but honestly ? he doesn’t like it he wants to learn at his own pace w his own structure he wants to explore the world he has barred himself from for so long . like i love fics where reg drops out and gets like a sugar daddy just to have the money to go to the fanciest art museums across the world and look through them at his own pace….. free from his parents to do what he wants in his own way, not in theirs ….. my sweet angel boy
so many ppl think that regulus like genuinely wants to be like his parents and do what they do and that!! is so wrong…. even in canon…. yes he willingly joined the D.E but it’s bc he didn’t realize he could do anything else … why would he think abt anything else ???? he doesn’t have any other life this is his only option. so he will live in denial abt how much he actually wants it. he’s alicentpilled in that way (those who know know)….
that’s why the moment regulus realizes he’s unhappy he literally kills himself instead of trying to rebel: he doesn’t think he Can rebel. this is his only option. if he is miserable living like this than living will just be miserable. he only has one other thing to do and that would be to die.
anyways back on topic Soz but i don’t like it when reg like owns a business or still gets his masters or a phd or something like to me that doesn’t feel like him … i’m a big fan of sirius n reg ending up in the opposite of spots as to where their parents expected. his parents thought sirius would end up poor and uneducated doing odd jobs for cash and regulus, their puppet child, would end up rich and successful making connections and such…. and then it turns out sirius gets an education and proves himself as capable of being something without them, and regulus let’s go of his parents standards of living. sirius is designing his business cards while regulus is smoking weed in the back of barty’s fuck ass car . they are both at peak happiness. regulus gets to live his own life.
sirius proves to himself he is worth something and capable outside of his family, that he can succeed without them, that he isn’t going to fall from grace without them, and regulus proves to himself that the fall from grace isn’t much of a fall, and that he’s happier with the people he loves than with the career his parents wanted for him. that’s my vision
*tw child abuse
I like the thought of the one time Regulus helps Sirius is the night Sirius leaves.
Like, Walburga and Sirius are having this raging fight and as usual Regulus sits by the stairs and waits for it to be over.
As the fight starts to get violent he can hear Sirius fight back (which only started that summer)
He thinks Sirius is stupid and is only making it worse but it doesn’t help the anxiety of knowing one of them will get hurt. He just wants it all to stop.
He hears someone crash to the ground while his mother is still screaming curses. He’s scared out of his mind but his mother’s curses are slowly getting more severe and Sirius isn’t responding. He slowly gets up and walks to the parlor.
He realizes that he can hear Sirius, but it’s just whimpers. He doesn’t think about it too hard though. He doesn’t think about how he doesn’t have his wand on him. He doesn’t think about how he’s supposed to wait by the stairs. He doesn’t think about it when he stands in front of Sirius for the first time and disarms his mother from across the room. Right before she could utter the unforgivable. Her wand disappears from her hand. Into oblivion, Reg hopes.
He wanted it to stop. So he made it stop. But now he needs time to start up again so he can get the fuck out of there.
Sirius is bruised from head to toe but Reg manages to get him up the stairs. Sirius is only half conscious but he has a purpose as he stops leaning on him at the top of the stairs and starts ransacking his room.
Sirius can’t believe it. Reg did it. He stood up to the old hag. He’d been waiting for the right time to leave and this is just perfect. He doesn’t bother with clothes, James will have plenty. He grabs his school things and all his pictures. Starting with one of him and James on his wall and slowly making his way to the one of Moony on his bedside table.
“Come on Reggie, get a move on” Sirius throws over his shoulder. Reg’s just been standing there in shock.
Regulus is still at the top of the stairs. He can hear Sirius’ scuffling around his room and his mother’s scrambling for her wand downstairs. The sounds are quiet but loud. Eerily similar to one another.
“What are you doing?”
“We’re getting out of here.”
“What do you mean?”
Sirius finishes packing and turns back to Regulus. “Come with me. To James’. We can get out of here. We can leave.”
Sirius looks manic as he grabs Reg and takes them to his room. Sirius starts to grab his stuff and shove it into his bag. He’s breathing heavily, trying to shove down the panic.
“I know we haven’t gotten on very well these last few years… but we can fix it all now. Help me get all your stuff.”
“We can’t leave.” Regulus stills Sirius’ hands with his own. “Are you crazy? Mum will have a fit if we leave.”
“She won’t be able to find us.”
“She’ll know where you went. He’s your best friend.” Regulus knows all too well how close James and Sirius are. Practically brothers, as they say.
“Reg,” Sirius is firmer now, “I’m leaving now. With or without you.”
Sirius makes his way to Regulus’ window. He just has to open the window and leave. “Sirius, don’t go.”
It’s Regulus’ turn to panic. “Just stay. I’m sure it’ll all be fine. If we just apologize-“
“No Reg. No more. I can’t stay here.” Sirius opens the window and begins to clime out.
Regulus grabs his hand. “Sirius please. Sirius just stay. Don’t go. It’ll all be fine, just stay, please. Sirius I’m so scared. » Regulus’ voice fades at the end, but Sirius hears it nonetheless. He grabs him and they wrap their arms around each other for the final time. « You’ll never be what they want you to be. They’ll never be satisfied. »
Regulus doesn’t answer. they always had differing opinions.
They pull back from each other but Sirius holds Regulus’ face, remembering the last time he saw him as his brother. « Goodbye, Reggie. »
Regulus wanted to say so much. Don’t go. Come back to me someday. Don’t let this be goodbye. Good luck. I can’t lose you.
I love you
« Goodbye, brother. »
Sirius would’ve grabbed Regulus and forced him out the window. He would’ve tried harder when James blocked the front door as he tried to go back for him. But Regulus had proven himself. He had shown that he could stand up to their mother.
That was the first time Regulus had stood up for what was right. The second time, well, I’m sure you can guess the second time, was the last time.
Regulus “all bark, no bite” Black and Sirius “all bite, no bark” Black
AU in which Sirius is a werewolf and someone made an attempt to bully Regulus (they are not getting away with it).
