when barty crouch jr was caught at the end of the triwizard tournament, he was happy for 2 reasons.
the smaller reason, reason number 1, was that the dark lord was coming back.
we all know that in even cannon barty absolutely WORSHIPED the dark lord and he was estatic he was back.
the second reason, which i think was the larger one, was that he knew he was about to die.
he knew it, we knew, we all did.
it was practically, like, standing on a stage in front of everyone.
but he was happy to die because he would meet his best friends regulus and pandora again.
he was happy because he was going to meet his Evan again.
but he didn't.
he never did, and never will.
The finished thing ig.
Marlene McKinnon WIP. should i make her more blonde? im going to make her hair longer. i might leave her faceless i dont like drawing faces. help please.
I need someone to draw Barty and Evan as Joker and Harley Quinn. Please tell me you see the vision.
Kinda surprised I haven't found a horcrux hunting fic where Regulus "I will betray the Dark Lord for my house elf" Arcturus Black (canon), or maybe, Regulus "I love magical creatures, Care for Magical Creatures is my favourite class at school" Arcturus Black (fanon), frees the dragon from Gringotts while stealing Helga Hufflepuff's cup from Bellatrix's vault (just like the Golden Trio do). But instead of it just flying off, never to be seen again, they become friends and Regulus brings a whole ass dragon to help him kill Voldemort.
or something like that...
Pandora and Regulus as the Hufflepuff and Slytherin friendship trope but Regulus is the hufflepuff and Pandora is the slytherin and everyone is very confused about it.
Like
She's cunning and a great liar. She's able to get what she wants through lies and deceit but she's always so genuinely nice that people never suspect it. Everyone thinks she's the hufflepuff.
He's loyal. So loyal. Nobody messes with his friends (or brother) without facing the consequences. He's always sarcastic and mean and people avoid him because of it. Everyone thinks he's the slytherin.
Anyways, they're best friends and they confuse people constantly.
I can't be the only person who saw the main character in Lies of P and immediately thought of Regulus Black right?
LIKE CMON LOOK AT HIM
I want to introduce u to my marauders era au i have been cooking for like a year? two years?
if i put it simply, its just about all of them living together, aka the ultimate “everything is good” au, like i mean it, this would have NEVER happen in canon, and its SO FAR from canon (like it changes everything in the books, and the golden trio era so) be warned🤞
i havent decided if voldemort just straight up doesnt exist, or if he does but marauders arent the “main characters” anymore, if you get what i mean
but anyways let me present “the black manor au”
first conversation about moving in together between sirius, remus, james and peter, theyre 17/16 in their dorm in the gryffindor tower, all being very jokey haha sure! sirius was serious though😔 (i also imagine they were maybe a bit tipsy, just very teenagery convo)
“and while were at it! let everyone move in! lily, mary, you know, the girls, ill even welcome regulus in! and bka bla bla”
“sure sirius sure, lets get you back to bed grandma”
theyre 17/18, lily and james are dating, all of them are graduating, remus or peter or someone mentions that they really do not want to go back to living with their parents and sirius is like! wait! dont yall remember what i proposed to you all😔, and theyre like i mean it wouldn be niceee but its not really realistic is it? and hes like! why! not! him and james alone are rich enough to support their group alone so? why not? all of them agree a little more with the idea, but noone moves in utill next year
they have been hogwarts graduates for a year and all of them are living separately, they visit each other alllll the time though, the economy is hard and like half of them are searching for jobs still.
peter ends up sleeping on a couch at remus and sirius’s(?) apartment, james and lily have a hard time finding a house, because somehow theres just no houses? and the topic comes up for the third and final time, this time its because siriuss[?) uncle had left him this big ass manor somewhere in the coutryside, its a temporary solution that sirous comes up with, and everyone moves in “until they find a good place for them”
the black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily
they have been living very happily in the manor for a year and still noone found any good house listings (the secret is that everyone kinda stopped looking about half a year in, they just havent told eachother) since the manor is so big each of the couples have like a whole wing for themselves and its crazy. marlene and dorcas are over all the time on visits and have claimed one of the guest bedrooms as their own, they still live in their own apartment. mary comes in one day with bags in hands and moves in, all she says is that she broke up with her partner and cant be bothered to look for a place to live right now, she is welcomed in with open arms, also lily finds out shes pregnant!
the black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily, mary
plottwist! the house was left not only to sirius but to regulus also, a week after dorcas and marlene moved in because of their new insufferable neighbors, regulus walks in with papers in hand talking about how the house is half his and sirius is like whaaaaat, nobody (except sirius) knew about this before, this conflict drags on, but in the end they decide that since the manor is so big i guess they could share🙄 howerver regulus does not move in for another year and in the meantime harry is born hurray! and dean is also! mary found out at the beginning of the year thwt she is pregnant with her ex partner and well, dean is born. and james and lily get married yay
tha black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily, mary, dorcas, marlene
children of the black manor: harry, dean,
there are now eight people living in this manor, alongside two children, but little did they know, this will be the year they will gain five more roomates and two new children.
on a random day in march they woke up to regulus moving in, and to their horror the whole gang is moving in also, i mean regulus is hard enough to deal with but the whole pantheon? AND XENOPHILIUS? nu uh. dorcas is estatic though and she is very exited to see all of her friends every day again. but, theyre all adults now, and regulus, evan, barty and pandora have been visiting dorcas pretty regularly and they are on so much better terms then they have been at in school, so while the change is not exactly celebrated, it is not that bad. peter has been dating sibyll for a few years now.
marlenes brother has died in a car crash, and while she wasnt that in touch witch her family, she was devasted, a week after the news a person showed up with a baby, apparently her nephew, saying that every one of her brothers has given up their rights and marlene is the onyl choice before putting the kid to foster care, even though marlene didnt really want a kid (or rather wasnt planning one) she took him in, deciding to raise him with dorcas. also this year luna is born. AND lily finds out shes pregnant again, AND sibyll finds out shes preggo also
tha black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily, mary, dorcas, marlene, regulus, barty, evan, pandora, xenophilius
children of the black manor: harry, dean, lee, luna
following the news of sibyls pregnancy she moves in a few months before birth, making the number of the people living in 14. little jasmine (james and lilys daughter) was born at the beginning of the year, and hecate (peters and sibyls) was born in summer. other than that the year wasnt really eventful, nobody else moved in, noone died and so on, harry dean and lee celebrated their second birthday, while luna celebrated her first. all of the residents have warmed up to each other, really making it feel like a found family
tha black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily, mary, dorcas, marlene, regulus, barty, evan, pandora, xenophilius, sibyll
children of the black manor: harry, dean, lee, luna, jasmine, hecate
in the middle of the year, barty and evan have arrived home from work (aurors or something like that, but they would NEVER have been aurors but like i really dont know what else) shaken up and with a seven year old boy (oliver (wood)) apparently they were working on some case with a bad evil wizard booo and oh no! he has children! since both of them have been raised in similar conditions they have seen themself in the kid and something something they had to save him so out of nowhere there is oliver. it took a long time but since his father is awful, he had been placed in their care, but not just him! no no, he has a little sister, and since we cant separate siblings, little four year old skylla has joined oliver and moved in. they are very close, even if they are three years apart they sometimes act like twins. and now there are eight children running around!
tha black manor residents: remus, sirius, james, peter, lily, mary, dorcas, marlene, regulus, barty, evan, pandora, xenophilius, sibyll
children of the black manor: harry, dean, lee, luna, jasmine, hecate, oliver, skylla
after five years of “looking for a great house” nobody is even pretending to look for a living elsewhere, they are all very happy amd lalala.
1985
1986
the first kid is off to hogwarts wooo!!!! its a very big deal for the whole manor, there was a whole party and everyone decided (to the horror of eleven year old oliver) to walk him off to the train, imagine your first day of school and there are 14 adults and seven kids walking you out, embarrasing.
1988
1989
1990
1991
1992
the only year every single kid is at hogwarts! all eight of them!, its oliver last year, and jasmines and hecates first year. there was a biiiiiiiiiiiiig party big big big party and it was a hugee deal. after they left, the manor was very calm,: which was WEIRD, everyone had to adapt to it again and it was very weir
keep in mind this is only an introduction🙏, since i have been thinking about this for years, i have even the new next gen planned out like i have SO MUCH thoughts about this au its crazy🙌
but anyways
How tall is your Evan
in my head he's very tall, taller than barty :))
also thank you for the question!
barty and evan both agreed that if they have the oppurtunity to have a threesome with regulus they absolutely will
regulus runs away au where walburga sends him a howler saying "i've burned you off the tapiserie. you are no daughter of mine." and regulus just gives sirius a thumbs up
regulus with a dagger collection is so real
pandora: i want a racoon
evan: we have a barty
pandora: barty doesn't have cute hands
barty: i don't?
I have a Marauders fancast opinion that may or may not rustle some jimmies: now don’t get me wrong, Andrew Garfield as Remus, Aaron Taylor Johnson as James, Evan Peters as…Evan etc are good fancasts on their own. Sofia Bryant as Mary, Beabadoobee as Marlene, Filah Lah Lah as Dorcas etc. are also very good fancasts on their own, but am I the only one who finds it kind of weird when they’re all part of the same fancast? for example the fandom can’t be like “oh Karen Gillan/Sophie Skelton are too old to play Lily anymore, gotta find a younger one” but somehow at the same time still be fine with currently 35-45 year old men.
I definitely do think that's weird, I don't understand why people have the need to hate on others for their fancast aside from when it's problematic. For example, Dane Dehaan and Jamie Bell as Peter. You can't excuse the fact that Peter is CANONICALLY PLUS SIZE! Due to a headcanon that "Peter only got fat because of the stress of being Voldemort's mole", or because of the "stress of the war" when he was described as plump in his youth.
As for the age differences it's really not that weird if you really think about it. Most often we see fancasts in edits, and in those edits they usually us scenes of Aaron Taylor Johnson in Nowhere Boy, and Ben Barnes as Dorian Gray, and Andrew Garfield in The Amazing Spiderman. During the times those films came out ATJ was 18, Ben Barnes was 28, and Andrew Garfield was 29.
Sofia Bryant is 23, so is Beatrice Laus (Beabadoobee), and Filah Lah Lah is 24. So in the grand scheme of all these fancasts the age difference isn't really that big. The largest difference is between ATJ and Andrew Garfield and that's only 11 years.
So I definitely do understand where you're coming from but if you take into account when they're being fancast it really makes so much more sense.

Dead ass reads the encyclopedia for fun
Was not how most of the fandom portrays him
He was not weak
He did not cry every day for Sirius
Though he did quit the quidditch team after he left
He was morally grey
Would do anything to please his mother
Stayed by her side 24/7 after Sirius left
Was a momma's boy though Walburga never had as much affection for him as she did for Sirius
Not to say she didn't love her son
He more than overcompensated her for the loss of Sirius
He would have been the perfect heir if only he was born first
Or so his parents said
The only member of his family that Orion actually liked except for Walburga
Though over time his affections for her fizzled out and left Regulus the only member of The Noble House of Black that Orion actually liked
Spent quite a lot of time with his father as they were both quiet and loved to do the same things
Picky eater

He can never choose between black, green, and purple

He has a very smooth, soft voice definitely not to be mistaken with feminine though
Their lineage is far more prominent in his voice than in Sirius'
Speaks multiple languages including Latin, French, and Russian
Loves poetry
He writes it too sometimes though he'll never tell anybody
Likes to write down things he deems important about those her cares about because he fears if he doesn't he'll forget them
Very close with Barty
Pandora is still his best friend though
They actually adopted Barty in their second year
Gossip partners with Dorcas
Eventually began to consider Evan more of a brother than Sirius
Easily flustered
He's extremely handsome in a pretty way unlike the rugged way Sirius is
Prefers baths to showers but he can't stand to sit in his own filth so he rinses off after
The poster child for Dark Academia
Much of his comfort comes from familiar scents
He has two smiles; the one that everyone sees and the one where all of his pearly white teeth shine though very few are lucky enough to see that one
He's very slim not to say he doesn't have muscle it's just very lean
Enjoys being enclosed as it makes him feel safe
Actually really hates when people call him Reggie
I have many more thoughts about Regulus so I'll probably make a part two sometime
When I first bought Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone at the book fair, I did not, and i repeat, i DID NOT SIGN UP TO BE OBSESSED WITH DEAD GAY WIZARDS FROM THE 70S. I DID NOT SIGN UP TO BE OBSESSED WITH HARRY JAMES POTTER'S PARENTS AND THEIR FRIENDS AND THEIR ENEMIES.
Am I just too obsessed with marauders, especially slytherin skittles. Like for example
- Harry walked to the platform 9¾ and all I think is that marauders and skittles walked many years ago on the same platform, going to hogwarts
- Harry asking the truth about his scar, Hagrid saying that there is bad wizards too. All I think about is Regulus, Barty and Evan. (don't get me wrong I love them but that doesn't change the fact they we're deatheaters.
- Ron introducing Scabbers to Harry, all I think is wormtail.
- Seeing great hall for the first time and I'm thinking all the convos that marauders, valkyries and skittles had there. All the drama.
- Seeing McGonagall, thinking about all the drama she had to solve when the marauders we're at Hogwarts
- Ron whispering to Harry that all bad wizards come from Slytherin and I'm thinking about skittles (again don't get me wrong)
These were just about the first book but you get the idea 😭
I wanted to draw teddy, and then regulus came into the picture. Can take this as reg babysitting teddy for remadora, or babysitting for wolfstar, or even teddy talking to his stepson if you fuck with romantic moonwater/moonseeker. Or reg babysitting for remus in general. Either way, enjoy.
Theres easter eggs in the photos.
