Sirius: you’ve always been jealous of me!

Regulus: jealous of what? Of your lack of responsibility? Your immaturity? Your total disregard for other people's feelings?

Regulus: your lack of any critical thinking? Your ignorance? Your unawareness to anyone but yourself?

Walburga: you are not good enough for my son.

Remus: you’re not good enough for your son.

Walburga: pardon.

Remus: you heard me.

Hey Siri do I include more Olde Ways references and possibly religious elements to my Black Brothers angst? Asking for a friend.

Actually yanno what they get it anyways. It works with the whole celestial thing. Just pile on the agony with religious themes and motifs.

What a difference a year makes (the new one was made today in my genocide class)

But, I need some help

I’m struggling with names

- Aquila Corvus Black

- Aquila Vulpecula Black

- Lyra Corvus Black

- Scorpia Aquila Black

- Europa Corvus Black

And many other name order variations

If anyone has any recommendations for a name for a Black Family OC PLEASE HELP ME. I’m mainly going for stars or constellations.

i need more silly hcs of this chaotic family

Walburga is like who tf ate the last slice of cake, that was mine, and the cake is like leftovers from someone's wedding and it's actually really good so Walburga wanted a piece for herself and then Sirius immediately blames Regulus because regulus has a history of stealing other people's food and regulus blames him back because Sirius is a foodie who eats more than he should and Sirius is like tf did you just call me fat you little shit and then a fight breaks out and even Walburga is yelling because that was supposed to be her fucking cake, it was literally the only good thing she was looking forwards to all night and it's chaotic, everyones yelling, furniture is being thrown.

Orion, the culprit, is just sipping tea peacefully in some other room.

alphard and cygnus make fun of walburga cuz shes the older sister so strict and perfect that she looks like a robot

cygnus and walburga make fun of alphard cuz hes the middle brother that doesnt fit in the family and no one pays attention

walburga and alphard make fun of cygnus cuz hes the younger brother that thinks he's smarter than he really is

black siblings angst to me is sirius knowing she will never be loved by her parents like regulus is, is regulus knowing he will never be as talented and brilliant as sirius, is sirius being disgusted that regulus have the same beliefs as their family while regulus is disgusted that sirius had everything he wanted and she threw everything away, is sirius being able to express her gender as she please when she move on with her new family while regulus doesnt even dare to dream about telling someone he may not feel as a girl, is them fully embracing the hate for each other and yet a small part of them still miss the time where they were to young to hate and used to play together

i absolutely love the idea of walburga and druella being best friends that went to hogwarts in the same year

druella is the popular and beautiful girl that everyone loves, shes charismatic, fun and extremely sociable

walburga is conventionally pretty but people are so intimidated by her that they forget that, shes serious, never seems to smile and doesn't have the patience to (and doesn't even know how) make friends

and yet they work so well

they are super protective of each other, walburga always keeps an eye on anyone who might hurt druella while druella doesn't allow anyone to say bad things about walburga.

druella has thousands of people wanting her attention and yet walburga is always her priority

walburga always says that she hates jokes and "superficial" things but she could spend hours listening to druella talk about the most diverse and meaningless subjects. and druella is the only one that is able to make walburga laugh (which is still a hard task)

theyre also kinda sapphic but they will never realized that

they have to stay apart when the rosiers make druella marry a man from the nott family, far from each other after years of being stuck together at hogwarts. but then this random man dies, and the next husband that druella's family finds is walburgas younger brother that has only 18, while walburga just got married to her own counsin. and theyre glued together again, living in the same mansion, being in the same family and its kinda weird but theyre happy to be close

regulus’ last christmas with sirius

growing up as a Harry Potter fan with dark curly hair is getting told you look like Hermione when you’re young and then getting told you look like bellatrix as you get older lol. also, I was Hermione for Halloween when I was 11. Now I’m being bellatrix today

they are so i can see you coded tbh…

how come the black brothers get so much hype and this trio gets NONE??? misogyny i think

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.
