"You have to be careful with Sirius, because he’s never careful with himself."

Soph.

Hello lovely! Yeah I really like that line, I think it just so perfectly sums up how James feels about Sirius. He knows that Sirius is unhappy with who he is, and that he is reckless with his feelings and his safety because of it. So every chance he gets to show Sirius the kindness Sirius can't show himself he takes it <3

James, outside holding a sign with "Date?" written on it

Sirius: *looks out the window* OH MY GOD YES

James: No! Tell Reg!

Sirius: REGGIE I'M GOING TO PROM WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND

i know we joke that james only falls for people that are mean to him but guys that’s so??? like that’s so sad???

i don’t know how to explain it but it’s just that james has been so, so loved his entire life by his parents and by the people that surrounded him and it’s like… why wouldn’t he want the same treatment from a partner?

but then it hit me that he might think that acting nice and spoiling him are just what’s *expected* of people. he never knows if it’s genuine or if they’re just like “oh there’s james! we better act nice!”

so when people are just mean to him… james knows it’s genuine? like it’s from them, and them only. and maybe that’s what makes the difference.

hey guys btw there is actually never a good reason to loudly and publicly talk about how much u dislike a fanfic!! Like. let's break this down for a sec:

i don't like it

ok, understandable. i've dnf'd lots of fics because i didn't like them. but the people writing fanfiction are doing it for free and for fun, and you don't know anything about their lives. they could be a young writer just starting out! they could be an older writer getting back into writing after years of being unable to! they could be someone going through a rough patch whose only source of joy right now is writing their silly little stories! talking about how much you dislike a fanfic literally does nothing except hurt the person writing it. that's it. it is not productive, it is not necessary. even strangers on the internet deserve basic human empathy.

ok but i really don't like it

babe, i feel u! i'm a hater too. rant about it privately. shit on it in private messages or group chats with friends. u can dislike something without dragging its creator into the town square to throw tomatoes at them, yknow?

ok but i really don't like it AND it's popular

ok? shouting about that on the internet doesn't make you cool or special or unique. it just makes you kind of mean and, honestly, bitter. like i said before, this is fanfiction. nobody is paying for it. nobody is profiting. there is no standard that these writers are obligated to meet. clearly, other people like the work. why not let them enjoy it in peace?

no u don't understand it doesn't deserve to be popular there are better fics that deserve it more!!!

talk about those fics then!! post about how much u love them!! uplift those writers!! ur tweet or tiktok or tumblr post is not going to suddenly make a popular fic lose all popularity, no matter how undeserving u perceive it to be. if this is actually coming from a place of frustration because you feel like there are other fics that deserve more attention, then just give those fics attention.

no but it's problematic

mmm ok. let's sit with this one for a second. i want you to ask yourself--is it really, really problematic? is it perpetuating harm against a marginalized group? remember, this is fanfic; it is outside the consumer economy, and the stories it tells will almost never make it to a mainstream audience. so is the story actually hurting people, or is the author just exploring something that you're uncomfortable with? because if you're just uncomfortable, then assuming the work is tagged properly, the best course of action is to just click away. as uncomfortable as it may be, people are allowed to write stories that you might find upsetting or gross or weird, and those stories existing is not inherently harmful in and of itself.

it is actively reinforcing harmful stereotypes/rhetoric/etc

okay! ok. if you are deeply concerned because you feel that this fic is genuinely harmful, then go to the writer. leave a comment. send them a message on tumblr or twitter or tiktok or wherever. explain your situation and see what they say! nine times out of ten, i'd bet that an ao3 writer means no harm and would be willing to listen and address your concerns. in fact, they might even be grateful to you for being kind enough to make them aware of a problem and educate them on it. every ao3 writer i've ever spoken to is an incredibly kind and thoughtful person; you don't need to immediately go on the attack

the writer is unreachable/nonresponsive/not willing to address or change the problematic thing

alright. if you truly feel that this fanfiction is actively harmful and can't reach any kind of conclusion with the writer, and you want to warn others who might read the fic, then do that. do that. make a post that says hey guys btw, x thing in this fic is not a good representation/perpetuates a harmful stereotype/whatever the problem is. and leave it at that! you don't need to go further and insult the writing or the person who wrote it. that is helpful to exactly no one, and if your goal is actually to make the world a better place, then you should learn how to draw attention to an issue in a way that encourages actual dialogue instead of dog-piling and personal attacks.

anyway the next time you feel the desire to post about how bad you think a fic is, feel free to use this as a guide before u do! xoxo

there are two types of children who come out of abusive homes. Sirius and Regulus are them, that’s why they are always at odds.

Sirius knows how precious sleep is, he can sleep anywhere anytime at the drop of a hat

Regulus can’t let himself sleep. Even safe and alone he feels so uncomfortable and can’t sleep until his eyes droop and he can’t fight anymore

Sirius’ rage turns hot and passionate, an angry fire blazing

Regulus’ rage turns cold and calculate, concentrated into fine points of cruelty

Sirius feels everything all too much, consuming all of him until he cannot feel himself anymore

Regulus feels so little that he cannot navigate his own emotions, and when he feels something strong it consumes every part of him

Sirius begs for contact and touch with everyone he knows, to confirm they are there, and to soothe him

Regulus’ skin pricks when he is touched, no matter how much he loves them. He can’t handle close proximity

Sirius hides his pain with a smile

Regulus hides behind dead eyes

and yet they are still, two scared and traumatised boys, hiding.

they hid in that house, and they hide now, with the people they love most.

because that’s the Black brothers. they hide.

because they don’t know how to be found.

but they’re begging

they are begging to be found.

[aisnge]

PERDON???😭😭😭

for the cr word game... remus

James swallows harshly. "I'm sorry. That was—I shouldn't have said that. I—" 

"Fuck you, James, truly," Sirius croaks, fumbling to push his chair back and get to his feet, his eyes stinging as the tears build and a lump forms in his throat. He's struggling to breathe. His heart is crumbling. Both sensations are at war with each other, and he's shaking all over, and he wants Remus. He misses Remus. "Why would you—how could you say that? Fuck you. Fuck you. Why—"

soph babe i adore how humble you are but choices won ALL of us over it’s literally what made a good 80% of us believe that jegulus was possible and compelling… if i wanted to get someone to ship jegulus the FIRST thing i would tell them to read is choices

Hello lovely! Aw thank you, that's very nice of you to say! I just feel like there are so many creative and talented writers in this space who have taken this story in a million different directions that I never would have thought of. I'm just constantly impressed and in awe of other people's stories

[aisnge]

I eat up that James is the sun comparison every. single. time.

[aisnge]

*jegulus as something I overheard from my neighbour's party*

regulus: james potter get in the damn car by yourself or I'll get you in there even if I have to do it in pieces

james *extremely drunk*: would you love me if i was a lego and you had to build me piece by piece?

[aisnge]

New instalment of the "Life James Wanted" one shot series inspired by hoodies Regulus is having a hard time. James knows that. He sees it in the way Regulus's shoulders have been inching closer and closer to his ears lately. In the way his voice has gotten quieter and his words sparing. Even when they're home at the same time, which is rare during the Quidditch season, Regulus spends most of it shut up in their bedroom. They've been through this before. James understands. He does. But he still misses him. Aches for him. Is desperate to hear Regulus laugh. To feel him come up behind him in the kitchen and wrap his arms around his waist, burying his face between James's shoulder blades. He even misses Regulus yelling at him about leaving his shoes in the front hall. Regulus has been through a lot in his life. And most of the time he can cope with it. But every once and a while he gets overwhelmed. And he needs to shut down, and hide. He still manages to go to practice. Still manages to play excellent Quidditch when he needs to. But that takes just about everything he has in him. And when he comes home he's small and raw and bone tired.

So James tries not to ask for too much. Tries not to hover. Tries to make sure that Regulus knows it's okay. That he'll wait for him. He'll always wait for him. "Reg?" James calls out as he closes the front door of their flat. It's late in the afternoon, the sun sneaking through the windows, making patterns on the hardwood floors. The cats are on him immediately, running through his legs and meowing incessantly. "Yeah, yeah, alright, I'll feed you you little monsters," he mutters under his breath, scratching both of them behind the ears before heading for the kitchen.

None of the lights are on, but the bedroom door is closed and James can just feel it. The tug in his chest that lets him know Reg is around. James has always thought of them as planets, caught in each others pull, inevitably stuck orbiting around on another. Once the cats are fed he moves cautiously towards the bedroom, hand hovering in front of the door for a good few minutes before he finally makes himself knock.

"Reg?"

There's a pause. And then, faint and distant, he hears: "Yeah?" It takes everything in him not to just burst through the door. "Do you want to be alone?" he makes himself ask. Another pause. "No." James feels himself actually sag with relief as he reaches for the doorknob. The bedroom is dark, the lights off and the blinds closed. The blankets on the bed have been left in a pile but he doesn't see Regulus anywhere.

"Reg?" James asks again. "I'm here," he sounds exhausted, James's eyes following his voice across the room. "Are you..." James says slowly. "Are you in the wardrobe?" He thinks he hears Regulus sigh. "Yes." "Okay..."

Regulus laughs dryly. "Is it?" "Sure," James runs a hand through his hair, not exactly sure what this means. "Can I...can I come in?"

There's a small scoff and then. "I don't know if you can fit Quidditch lad."

That makes James smile a little, "I'm sure I'll manage." He opens the door slowly, finding Regulus on the floor, knees pulled into his chest and one of James's jumpers swallowing him up. He's even pulled the hood over his head, tiny tuffs of black curly hair peeking out the sides.

James just stares at him for a moment, a little overwhelmed by how...sweet he looks. An adjective that Regulus would absolutely not appreciate. "I thought you hated my hoodies?" he says finally. "I thought they were - what did you say? Uncouth? Plebeian? It was some posh insult." Regulus rolls his eyes. "Oh please, you're at least as posh as I am." James grins. "No one is as posh as you are." Regulus grumbles something under his breath but doesn't try to argue the point. "So what's with the change of heart then? Is this gonna be your new style?" That earns James a glare. "This," Regulus pinches the fabric away from his chest, "is not a style. And it's temporary, I promise you. I barely even want to let the cats see me in it." James laughs. "Probably a good call. They'd lose all respect for you." "Oh I know." James waits then, waits for Regulus to say whatever it is he needs to, or to not say anything. He's willing to let the conversation drop if that's what Regulus needs too. Eventually, the younger boy sighs. "I was...having...trouble."

"Trouble?" Regulus grimaces. "Are you really going to make me say it?" "I'm not going to make you do anything Reg," and he means it. Regulus rubs at his face which is slightly adorable since his hands are hidden in the sleeves of James's hoodie, but he once again refrains from commenting. "I was having a panic attack," he manages finally. James's heart lurches in his chest but he makes himself stay still, makes himself listen. "And you were still at practice but I just...I needed something to ground me. I needed something to keep me from floating away," he sighs again. "I just wanted you to hold me," he says quietly. James brings his hand up, pressing down on his sternum, the ache in his chest so real he worries for a moment that he might be having actual heart problems. "Oh," he manages. "Yeah, so," Regulus says, clearly eager to move on. He holds up his arms, flapping the too long sleeves. "This was the closest thing I could think of."

"Oh." Regulus wrinkles his nose. "Can you stop saying that?" James huffs. "I don't know. Can I hold you now?" Regulus blinks up at him. "Yeah," he starts to move but James motions for him to stay where he is, squeezing himself between the wall and Regulus so that Regulus can sit between his legs, resting back against his chest. The minute he gets his arms around him, he feels Regulus relax. James can't help himself, he nuzzles at Regulus's neck before kissing the top of his hood. "You can borrow my jumpers anytime," he says. "How generous of you." James laughs. "What can I say, I'm a giver," and then, bringing his mouth closer to Regulus's ear. "Plus, I like seeing you in my clothes." It's Regulus's turn to laugh now, though it's a slightly more restrained sound. "You're ridiculous."

"You've mentioned that." A moment passes where James simply luxuriates in the feeling of having Regulus back in his arms again, before Regulus speaks: "I'm sorry," he says quietly. "I know I've been...difficult, lately." James only squeezes him tighter. "I just want you to be okay," he says. "How you get there doesn't matter. Just tell me what I can do." He thinks he catches just the hint of Regulus's smile in his profile. "You're doing it."

I saw an article entitled "10 reasons why even 'The Hunger Games' fans hate Katniss Everdeen."

and the top three were…

1- She's the most confusing heroine on the planet.

2-She is mentally unstable for half the saga.

3- She has no idea what she wants out of life.

HAHAHAHA literally sorry for being human
