“I’m to be marked during winter break.” The words fall like stones into the near-empty dormitory. Barty blinks, still for a moment before he is tugging Regulus down to sit beside him. Evan inhales sharply, glancing around as if he is just not noticing that Dorcas and Pandora aren’t there.

 Regulus had done it on purpose, waited until he knew Dorcas was with Marlene and Pandora was off in the forest. He knows Pandora wouldn’t judge, would never judge, but she is far too important to risk losing in the war. They all know it, the five of them, an unspoken agreement between them to never reveal the secret that could make or break the war. 

Dorcas is dangerous too, but in a different way. She always has been, bright and unforgivingly so, strong in her beliefs, and fierce with potential. She is Good, with a capital G, Regulus knows she would die to save any of them, and he will not risk it. He will not be so selfish as to risk her life by hiding behind her. 

Evan and Barty, though. They are different. 

Evan is one half of a whole, blood-bound to his twin, but still unwaveringly loyal to Regulus regardless. He is golden, more of a star than Regulus could ever dream of being. He could be good, but he will choose his friends above all else. He knows, Regulus thinks, he knows I would not survive without him. 

Barty is more than all of them, to Regulus. He is clever and cruel, chaos reincarnated. He is light turned dark, crimson seeping through the good he could’ve been, crimson coloured blood drawn by his father.  He is bold, a puppet-master with strings in his hands. He is Regulus’ and Regulus is his. 

He says, steadily, “Then, I suppose I am too.”  Regulus flinches at the words, but does not protest. Evan joins them after a heartbeat, smile on his face as he nods in agreement. 

Inside, Regulus screams and begs and pleads. Outside, he closes his eyes and rests his head on Barty’s shoulder.

btw bartylus to me are crazily codependent and obnoxious best friends like james and sirius. but like. u js don’t know notice it cause they’re a lot more begrudging about it but i swear to you. listen to me

barty is constantly around regulus. if you’re looking for regulus u better be prepared to find barty. or find him a couple steps behind. regulus only feels comfortable in a room full of people he doesn’t know if barty’s there too. barty threw away everything to follow regulus once he got the dark mark. barty lost his fucking MIND when regulus died. regulus is allowed to make fun of barty whenever and however he pleases but if anyone else he doesn’t know does it he gets incredibly insanely annoyed. barty would have burned the world down if regulus asked. regulus would let him. they’re probably dating but also nobody knows what the fuck is going on in their relationship ever. the first time they got high they made out. barty, if asked who he would fuck marry or kill, would choose to fuck regulus. regulus would choose to fuck barty. they had a “if the two of us don’t get with anyone we should get together” promise that went on for years. they

"Your boyfriend is cheating on you." 

Regulus blinked. 

"Which one?" 

Sirius, already mid-sentence through an explanation, froze. "Excuse me?" The two stared at each other, Sirius leaning over the library table, hands pressed against Regulus' open textbooks in order to support himself. Regulus cocked his head to the side, leaning back in his chair as he crossed his arms over his chest. 

Standing straight, Sirius frowned, "Did you just say, which one? What do you mean, which one? Are you not dating Barty?" 

Regulus nodded slowly, "Yes, I'm dating Barty." He confirmed, before his eyes narrowed. "Are you saying Barty's cheating on me?" 

"Don't ignore my other question!" Sirius protested, "But yes. I saw him kissing Rosier." 

At that, it was Regulus' time to freeze. 

Sirius squinted at him, gears starting to turn in his mind as he put the pieces together, Regulus' earlier words finally catching up to him fully. "You can't be serious." He deadpanned, jaw dropping in slight disbelief. "Please tell me you're not serious." 

"I'm not." Regulus said, lips already tilting upwards. Sirius sighed in relief, opening his mouth again to speak, before Regulus inturrupted him, "You're Sirius. I'm Regulus." 

For a full minute, Sirius was incapable of doing anything but stare. Then, without another word, Sirius turned on his heel and walked away. "I'm not dealing with this anymore. Next time I see anything like this I'll just ignore it." He called over his shoulder, ignoring Madam Pince's shout for silence. 

Regulus snickered.

i have to say seeing how popular jem is now, knowing he hasn't always been, is SO reassuring and relieving. not because other characters aren't great or have good values, but because it means jem's standout qualities – things like kindness, compassion, gentleness, being thoughtful – are being appreciated and seen as more important and that's SUCH a good thing. especially knowing ya's history of pushing forward the toxic-cocky-mysterious bad boy agenda… we're finally putting qualities like kindness above that, which is a really positive step forward. i know it's more nuanced than this, and tsc's characters are far more nuanced (jem's sole trait isn't being kind, for instance) but he wasn't always appreciated this much and as a longtime jem fan i truly love to see it. i grew up reading books where the mc always went for the mysterious bad boy character – ruder, testy, provocative – and often these characters were more popular because being kind was seen as 'boring' or meant you could only ever be in the friendzone. jem was one of the first characters i read who had this really horrible backstory, but throughout everything was genuinely just kind. it's really wonderful to see so many people appreciating that :)

#this!! #he was first main male lead i've read that hadn't been cocky and arrogant #back when i was younger #such a refresher #and part of the reason i love him so much

Have you ever thought about creating a bartylus fest?

I have actually thought about it - I just am not sure where to start or how to go about, or if people would actually want to do it?

I feel that it would be a fun idea, to also get a bit more bartylus content.

#bartylus #aksjd would love this actually

Reneé Rapp calling for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

Keep in mind that this is the first, major award she's won for her music in her burgeoning career, and this fairly new artist is not afraid to do the right thing.

The PJO boys

I tried a palette and aesthetic farrr out of my usual comfort zone. Anywayyy here are the pjo boys in steampunk x ancient(?) theme. I was just pulling random lines out of my frontal lobes without giving much thoughts about the colors and the clash of styles. The process gave me joy 🥺💕

PS. I gave Frank a new haircut because his original version would resemble Jason’s hair and I wanted vArIeTy of styles in this one as an exercise.

PS2. Right as I was finishing this piece, the nurse called me over. Someone's going to give birth. It's 1 AM. Wish me peace and healthy babies for the rest of the shift 🙏🏼

I also post my art on instagram and YouTube, avocadrawz
