This Family HAS BEEN ABLE TO FLEE SUDAN!! AND ALSO They Are Still In Need Of Funds To Help With Immigration

Pretty sure it's canon too 🤪🤪

Lily is James one and only guys trust me

This is canon go argue with the wall

what’s some of your favourite black brothers hcs?

bless you for sending this and giving me the opportunity to yap

i wish i could remember who posted this hc but sirius got stuck in walburga's ribs in birth and regulus was born blue/not breathing

sirius constantly causing walburga pain during her pregnancy, burrowing as far inside of her as he could, only to be ripped from her into a reality that will constantly tear them apart vs regulus being doomed from the very beginning, dying so young because he shouldn't be alive in the first place MHM YUP

sirius was the favorite child. this led to regulus trying to copy sirius in absolutely everything he does when they were very little

sirius bore the brunt of physical punishment because of the expectations/attention constantly placed upon them. regulus, on the other hand, suffered from neglect

incredibly competitive household, everything they do is compared against each other. recipe for sibling failure

i could write an entire essay on how sirius internalises his failure to be a 'good heir' into thinking something is inherently wrong with him/how regulus' being born second gave him limitless rage at everything around him

even after sirius is sorted into gryffindor and, by his family's definition, becomes a major fuck-up, walburga wants and hopes that he will assume the demeanor and responsibilities of being heir. this is where regulus' resentment of sirius is born: regulus has always been good, has always kept his mouth shut and done what he should, and yet he's still not fit to be heir, even when sirius so obviously doesn't want it. walburga wants her eldest son to be 'perfect' again so badly that she can't see that regulus fits all of her requirements

and after regulus is sorted into slytherin, sirius begins to resent him. now that he can see that he isn't just a black sheep - the rest of the world is nothing at all like his family - he wants regulus to follow in his footsteps, and he won't. he sees regulus as weak for continuing to bend to their family's ways and strive to impress them

so, by age twelve or thirteen, they hate each other. that's the tragedy. they don't come back from this. regulus thinks sirius is ungrateful and out of control, and sirius thinks regulus is a coward and a bigot

regulus spiralssssss because of how much he hates sirius. it is pure, unbridled jealousy. he isolates himself, lets himself be driven by negativity, and tries desperately to mask his inherent sense of inferiority by positioning himself as superior due to his blood status. this makes him the perfect candidate for targeted radicalisation by the de's/bellatrix

sirius does not regret leaving and does not wish he could've taken regulus with him. regulus was fucking over the moon that sirius ran away, and was also part of the reason sirius needed to leave. i will die on this hill

i will always think their characterisations are more interesting/compelling when you make them hate each other. they are fundamentally so different that you can't just swap traits/storylines between them. regulus is SUCH an interesting villain and i wish people explored him in this light more rather than just giving him sirius' story

they are a product of their circumstance. in any other universe they probably could've bonded over their shared trauma (which is why i love my black brother modern aus), but in the one they're in they are destined to be torn apart.

and now, the mini moodboard:

Good gracious that man is so fine as hell

there’s no perfect fan cast for sirius black because he is too hot. too attractive too handsome. i’ve never seen a man be all those things.

My take on this

But they will prefer shipping James with another pureblood racist supremacist who's a death eater imaoooo

I’m tired of all the jegulus/toxic jily shippers haters so I’m gonna come out (pun not intended)

I don’t ship jily.

Idc anymore. I’m tired and I’m just gonna say it. If people are gonna send hate go ahead but I have a life and shit to do.

I have a few reasons why I don’t ship jily. The big one is that it just doesn’t make sense to me.

If you’re going to try and convince me to ship jily or that they were a good ship, it probably won’t work. Even before joining the Marauders fandom I didn’t think they were good tg.

Go ahead and ship them i really don’t care. But all the people who send death threats you need to touch some fucking grass. This is fictional and I can have my own opinions. So can you. But if those opinions are meant to harm others, keep them to yourself.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. I hope you toxic people learnt something.

I’m tired of people acting like Zhongli is a serious and chill guy who would never cause problems on purpose as if he isn’t one of the biggest menaces out of the Seven. He used to throw mountains at Venti for annoying him. He, the god of history, starts fights among historians for shits and giggles. He tried to gaslight the Traveler into thinking he was totally not at the Chasm guys really Aether/Lumine you must be seeing things maybe you should go see Baizhu. When Qiqi wanted “Cocogoat” milk he was like “Oh yeah sure totally let’s go look for it” knowing damn well it was a wild goose chase. He made the Traveler sing to a flower and then was like “Oh would you look at that” when a Whooperflower jumped out to maul them. I love him. He’s like a cat pushing things off the counter to see how people react. I would pay to see him interact directly with Neuvillette because I know for a fact he’d get on that man’s nerves and argue about water tasting just to feel something. Furina used freedom from godhood to take a nap and Zhongli used it to give psychic damage to anyone who talks to him longer than 5 minutes. Iconic.

Honestly I wish we got more of his character in the books because I wanna know what truly got him questioning Voldemort's wrongdoings AFTER he decided to join the death eaters. Because in canon, it says that by 1979 he began to have doubts about his own motives. Since we know that Sirius was clearly the rebel kid who stood against every pureblood ideologies, and Regulus clearly used to uphold every single pureblood traditions unlike Sirius, gives away the fact that he was indeed a blood supremacist. But what was his turning point actually? If we see it from third person's pov, he joined the DE 2 years after Sirius's departure. Means that he didn't do it out of spite to annoy Sirius, but because Regulus and his parents agreed with Voldemort in a lot of things. I wonder why Walburga and Orion didn't join DE, probably because they had an impression to uphold in the pureblood elite society, to control things in a neutral way/ more like fairplay so that if things went south, they'd be able to handle it. So Regulus volunteered instead.

But here's the thing, Regulus was clearly young and he was indoctrinated by his family to believe their ideologies, which is why he joined the DE in the first place, but you don't join Voldemort without knowing about the fact that he had tortured countless amount of muggleborns and set their colonies on fire to obtain the power he has now. News of Voldemort terrorizing the public were all over Daily Prophet. The black family clearly knew all of it and still went with it. But what convinced Regulus to betray Voldemort like that? He clearly knew what he was getting into, but in order to start questioning your own morals after years of indoctrination, there has to be a turning point. It's said that he was not ready to face the truth of being a death eater, does that mean Voldemort was asking for more from the Blacks which convinced Regulus to betray him? We do see that kreacher getting sent in that cave and returning bruised was Regulus's final turning point. Canon seems to indicate that Regulus cared a lot for his family, and he betrayed Voldy to protect them all.

I wonder if Sirius had something to do with all this. Even though as op mentions that Sirius interpreted Regulus's betrayal as something Regulus did out of the love he had for kreacher. But I think there's more to that. Maybe according to him, he and Regulus weren't close as brothers. Which is very clear. But I think to Regulus it was a whole another topic.

I also saw another post where they said that Regulus probably joined Voldemort to collect information about him on how to defeat him, which is why he collected all those articles about Voldy, indicating that harry potter is an unreliable narrator. Which can be true given some moments. But that makes everything so much more complex. If you ask me to give my honest opinion, I'd disagree with it. It seems quite unlikely, given the way his personality was. He probably joined the DE to protect his family for many unknown reasons we will never know. But I don't think Sirius's departure made him think twice about his beliefs. Yes, he came to his realizations, but it's quite clear that he questioned his beliefs only after a long time while being a death eater. For many reasons, I'll talk about it later. But what do y'all think?

p.s- please excuse my grammatical errors ehe I'm not a native speaker.

ngl, if you believe that Regulus's true beliefs are unknown as the only piece of canon information we have on that front is from Sirius, which could be biased because of the animosity between them...I don't think you can say Regulus took revenge on Voldemort for Kreacher because we learn that from Kreacher himself, an elf that literally worships him. So for all we know, Regulus could've been a blood supremacist/voldy fan, could've been not, could've loved his elf, or could've seen them as inferior beings and only betrayed Voldemort simply because he knew Voldemort needed to be stopped.

...im not saying anything, im on the side that he loves his elf, but I was arguing with someone about Regulus as a character and they told me what's mentioned above. That Sirius's dialogues on him aren't reliable for that reason and that Regulus defected when his elf got hurt.

So it's just...idk man.

God, the family line just breaks me apart whenever I see it...

so normal about sirius and harry. so nomral. haha 😆…

oh. oh ok. oh😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

REBLOG REBLOG PLEASE!!!

SAVE THE BANGLADESHI STUDENTS

Hey guys

I felt quite insecure and ashamed to post this,

But I don't think I can hold it back anymore.

I'm from Bangladesh, my homeland, I speak Bangla, it's my mother tongue, and I'm proud of my roots but my family immigrated to America many years ago. But I still care a lot about my country. So recently, there has been a lot going in Bangladesh. Mainly, it's because of its corrupted government. Our prime minister Sheikh Hasina is literally a dictator, if you go to twitter and search about recent news in Bangladesh, you can see that the situation is not that good. Basically, it's because we have a thing which is called "Quota" and it affects the Bangladeshi Government job sectors in a very negative way. This "Quota" is for the freedom fighters who fought in 1971 war which happened in Bangladesh. But the problem is that, even though those freedom fighters are dead, their families are welcome to enjoy the privileges which the quota provides.

Mostly, the grandchildren of these freedom fighters can use the quota to get jobs in Bangladesh's most prestigious job sectors, which has created a huge unemployment problem in Bangladesh. Also, these "so called" grandchildren are now TOTALLY CORRUPTED AND RUINING OUR COUNTRY while enjoying many privileges given by our PM and Bangladeshi students are very mad about it because normal, brilliant students with ZERO QUOTA cannot get into any prestigious job sectors no matter how hard they try!

Thousands of students have also committed sui*ide because they could not feed their poor family who are looking up to these brilliant students so that they can spin their family's poor fate.

From 13 July till now, the students of many public and private universities of Bangladesh are protesting together and risking their lives in order to remove this disgusting, vile and cruel quota system. Unfortunately, given to these current circumstances, our PM still pays no mind to these poor students who are protesting ENDLESSLY and literally DYING ON THE ROAD !!

Sheikh Hasina has labeled these brave students as RAJAKAR/TRAITORS (Collaborators who aided the enemy country Pakistan in 1971)

Our brave Bengali students, male and female, got so enraged, heartbroken by the fact that their prime minister called them traitors of the country just because they wanted the quota system removed. Following that incident, on July 15, at 1 AM, Dhaka University students, Eden Women's College students and many other University students broke down the gates of their hall at midnight and ran down to the streets to protest while chanting "Who are you? Who am I ? Rajakar, Rajakar!!"

Brave men and women who are protesting against this quota, are now being brutally attacked and mercilessly killed by the government party terrorist organization Chhatra League. The students at Dhaka University are now being attacked with stones, Bats, knifes and literally anything that can hurt a human brutally enough. Our government has turned their back on us, claiming that these students are traitors of their own country, and they are selfish because they do not want the quota system to give benefits to only the grandchildren of freedom fighters anymore.

But the reality is, these so-called grandchildren are now dominating 56% of job sectors with the help of money, nepotism and other dishonest ways while the honest student of our country stays unemployed, their talents wasted, efforts unappreciated and thus, they suffer from depression.

I'm not asking that much from my followers, but please, for the love of God, share my post as much as you can. These mass protests are not being seen enough, share and retweet as much as possible, we need to spread these horrifying actions committed by our PM to the world. Shame, shame, shame on them. Shame on our government for turning a blind eye to hundred thousand of these students. The streets of Dhaka have been drenched with the blood of our students; in order to save their lives, we need to spread this news as much as possible. My cousins from Bangladesh are absolutely frightened, their exams have been stopped, teachers are also turning their backs on these students, they have nowhere to go now. My cousin's classmate got her arm broken off by terrorist organization Chaatro League men just because she was protesting against the corrupted system.

Women are getting assaulted, acids are being thrown at these students, violence is now occurring left and right, our PM is a woman and still, she chooses to betray the students and stands still on her disgusting beliefs with the terrorist government organization Awami League supporting her crimes.

On 21 February, in 1952, thousands of students at Dhaka University protested against the West Pakistan in order to establish the language Bangla as the state language of east Pakistan. Thousands of students had died on that day, which is why we Bangladeshis celebrate 21 February as our Mother Language Day.

It seems like history is going to repeat itself yet again.

Shame, shame, shame on them!
