i can't quite believe i have to clarify this. but. when people say "you shouldn't criticize fanfiction" they are not trying to imply that you *can't*. people always snap back with "well it's on the internet so i can criticize it if i want to" and yes, obviously you can. but i think you might be confusing opportunity with justification. like. yes, fanfic authors give you the opportunity to criticize them by posting something online. but that doesn’t automatically justify you doing it. you're still an asshole for deciding to use that opportunity to needlessly ruin someone’s day. because there is no justifiable reason to tell an author everything you hate about their work. it achieves absolutely nothing. does not in anyway progress the human race. you just want to make someone feel small. and you *can* absolutely do that. but it's a weird fucking hobby my guy.
No matter how many times Evan repeats that Esther is nothing more than a cover-up, a hoax for his father and the rest of the prudish and stuck-up pureblood snobs to buy into, so as not to ask too many questions, Barty can’t even stand the sight of the leech hanging around with Evan.
OR a story on how Barty was jealous of Evan, while being a flirty, cheeky bastard, and had hot sex with him afterwards.

sirius attempting to talk remus out of turning into a werewolf with the power of friendship and homosexuality is perhaps one of my favourite sirius moments in canon
à la claire fontaine on ao3
Regulus is a ghost—one of those that no one is able to see—and he’s just trying to comfort his brother, and be there for him when Sirius needs it the most. But even now he can’t really do that.
this is like actually me and my older brother. i’m reg and he’s sirius...
Sirius: *moves to hug Regulus*
Regulus: *steps aside*
Sirius: "Why did you move?"
Regulus: "I thought you were going to attack me."
Sirius: "I was going to hug you."
Regulus: "Why would you hug me?"
Sirius: "WHY WOULD I ATTACK YOU?!"
@moonytoastx I just reversed the names
do you ever think about how james potter would definitely be the type of person to use the words without knowing their meaning, just like assuming he understands them correctly?
it would literally go like this:
james: reg, you’re so sweet! wanna be my sugar baby?
regulus: *chokes on water*
tbf tho, james is rich enough to not back down once he knows the real meaning, lmao
character: it’s like I said-
me, scrolling through to seven chapters ago, muttering under my breath: yeah, what DID you say
I've already posted this on other platforms, but I though why not join tumblr! So now I will be slowly adding my art here.
Of His Bones by @little-shit-soph
“Do you ever wonder what it’d be like,” his voice is softer when he speaks again. The anger gone. Now he just sounds tired. “To be someone else?”
Yes, you. Regulus’s brain supplies unhelpfully.
All he actually manages to do is shrug.

You run, Reggie. You run, and you keep on running.

"WHY WOULD U WRITE THESE NICE PARENTS AS HOMOPHOBIC WHEN U COULD MAKE THEM SUPPORTIVE 😭 😭 😭 " because sometimes nice parents are homophobic and not supportive. hope this helps!!
no need to call me out like that honestly...
marauders fandom is basically a bunch of queer people with mental health issues and literature/classics degrees who are taylor swift enthusiasts
“this ship isn’t canon” to YOU. I, however, am delusional
Young Harry talking to visitors: My papa is the best with knives
James, laughs awkwardly: Yes, dear. Reggie is the most delightful cook.
Young Harry: No I meant his dagger-
James, shoving cake into Harry's mouth: Here, sweetheart
Regulus, grinning: Harry, darling. Do you mean my tricks? Your daddy especially likes it when I use them in the bedroo-
James, shoves cake into Reg's mouth: Love, stop joking around. We have guests.
*Later*
James: Reggie, you can't SAY that infront of people.
Regulus: *takes out James' fav dagger*
James, inhales sharp breathe: Ah fuck it. Come here.
Merry Christmas <3
(does it count if it’s a kiss over the mistletoe?)
The happy ending
okay but can we all just Agree that regulus black was a VERY(!) clingy child. he used to just get attached to his elder brother’s leg and never let go until their parents came around. sirius, of course, did pretend to do anything and everything possible to make reggie let go (he was VERY fond of the idea that his brother needed him, sometimes it was the only thing that kept him going, made him wake up and go see regulus first thing in the morning (that is, of course, if reg didn't sneak into sirius’ room in the middle of the night because the thunder was too loud and scary or because of a nasty nightmare he had, hence was sleeping in sirius’ bed already)).
that being said, yeah, reg used to be clingy. however, that changed after sirius left him to go to hogwarts (of course, sirius’d take reg with him if he could, but he Could Not and for baby reg that felt like a betrayal). after sirius came back that summer he could no longer recognize his little brother. they used to read each other’s minds and now they weren't able to understand each other as if speaking different languages.
after all that waiting, they hadn’t had very long at all, in the end.

And we become night time dreamers
And street walkers, small talkers
When we should be daydreamers
