Imagining TSH characters during the covid pandemic is so weirdly hilarious to me ,like you can't tell me that Francis didn't have one of those super fancy, super useless masks or that Henry wasn't totally clueless about the pandemic until like 5 months into it
I get endless entertainment trying to picture any of the TSH characters doing the 50% of academia that’s just standard administrative nonsense. Henry Winter had all the ego of a famous academic sure, but imagine if he’d lived. This man would’ve reached a point in his career where he would’ve had to upload class readings onto Canvas. Imagine sixty year old Professor Henry Winter trying to come up with an AI use policy.
The first time James truly talked to Regulus, met him and not just the idea and the concept of him that he knew from Sirius, was when he went to the Astronomy Tower one night to calm down after an incredibly intense panic attack. It was dark and silent, and the last thing that James was expecting was to get punched right the moment he walked in. When he opened his eyes, he saw a teary-eyed Regulus Black looking messy, shocked with himself and surprisingly not put together, so different to the constantly perfect boy James had seen around at school. And James would look back at that moment, even knowing that what followed was a "what the fuck Potter?" coming out of Regulus' mouth (even though he was the one who fucking punched James) and say that that's when he started falling irrevocably and maddeningly in love with Regulus Black
Sometimes, especially after particularly difficult and draining transformations, Remus would end up delirous, burning with a fever and drenched in sweat. It was in one of those instances during their 5th year that Sirius stayed with him in the nursery, wanting to just keep an eye and take care of him. Remus was so sick and dazed that he didn't quite know if he was in a dream or not, especially when he opened his eyes and he saw Sirius, his Sirius, softly caressing his face and pressing a cold towel on his forehead. He couldn't tell if he was awake or not when he grabbed Sirius and just barely let his lips touch the other boy's just before letting his eyes close. Remus of course didn't remember any of this the next day which is why he couldn't explain why Sirius couldn't look him in the eyes and was o insistent on bringing up his new girlfriend in their conversations all the time
Pandora and Regulus figured out Remus is a werewolf like 6 months into their first year. They never tell anyone else but they genuinely think everyone who hasn't discovered it is so dumb ("for fucks sake Pandora my brother calls it his furry little problem might as well start shouting my boyfriends a werewolf")
Peter is a plant mum - he buys plants constantly to the point where they don't even fit in the dorm, and he gives all of them names. He will literally be late for important social events because he didn't water his plants, a process which takes like a good 30 minutes. He has favourite plants, for example, vanilla orchids, and when James bought him one for his birthday, he almost sobbed
I am in Greece so I think we have discovered the root of the issue
I think the fact that it's pride month and a James Potter kinnie ISNT kissing me is extremely homophobic
Dipper with severe anxiety is a headcannon so dear to me. Stanley doesn't really get it, but he remembers that his brother occasionally used to shake like that, and his breathing would also, out of nowhere, abruptly get quicker like Dipper's. The first time he saw Dipper get a panic attack, he felt like he was 7 once again watching his brother hypervilating,shaking, telling him not to tell anything to their parents. The difference was that this time, he didn't just stand there, dumbfounded and confused, but he went over and hugged Dipper until he stopped crying. Dipper was really embarrassed about it, afraid that his uncle now thought him weak or not masculine enough, but he couldn't stop himself from laughing when he saw Stanley reading book "how to approach a kid with anxiety - a parents guide" like a fucking confused dad
James once lost his glasses and when he went to kiss his beautiful boyfriend he ended up kissing said boyfriend's brother. Remus was extremely nonchalant, Sirius was freaking out ("Moony I promise it meant NOTHING" "Pads I fucking know") and Regulus almost murdered both James and his brother. He also refused to kiss James until he brushed his teeth for 5 minutes straight while he was staring daggers at him, because "I'm not kissing lips that have previously KISSED MY BROTHER that's basically an indirect kiss and this family isnt about the incest anymore". James almost cried
Raging bisexuals Lily and James who get so deeply offended when someone assumes they're straight just because they're a couple. These bitches are the first at the Pride Parade wearing these silly ass " bi wife" and "bi husband" t-shirts. Lily also did Jame's makeup inspired by the bisexual flag color platte and they both looked so amazing, they got hit on SO MUCH "Soo are you looking for a third?" "Oh thank you but -'" "NO WE ARE NOT, Lily let's go"
The Slytherin Skittles have the TIME OF THEIR LIVES bullying little kids on Roblox. Every time Regulus is in a bad mood, he just logs in and makes cocky 12-year-olds cry. The first time James heard him (after he woke up in Reggie's place one day), he was so SHOCKED because he had never heard Regulus-sarcastic-side-remarks-Black curse that much. Also, that kind of online bullying is classical Rosekiller activity. They just get on Tiktok or Twitter and write the most random controversial shit ("yall, i think democracy is kinda overrated??") and watch shit unfold
I simultaneously love and hate imagining the Black brothers before the world around them tore them apart. When they were just little kids who weren't yet aware of the brutality that existed all around them - Sirius and Regulus running around, playing at being grown wizards, drawing, trying to cook, annoying the house elves. And yes, sometimes they fought, because that's what siblings do, but whenever Regulu's eyes welled up with tears, Sirius always caved in because no matter what, his love for Regulus was much bigger than his anger
