Remus Lupin has always been honest, he never sees a need to lie.
Sirius Black has been lied to and been fed propaganda about muggles/muggle-borns by his parents all his life.
---
Sirius Black hates lies.
Remus Lupin never lies.
It's why Sirius was so determined to find out where Remus was going every month, because it was the only time he wasn't brutally honest.
how to outline a story:
write a bullet point list of everything that happens
realize it doesn’t make sense
cry
start writing anyway
"Why didn't they just communicate?? They're so stupid!" Have you considered that communicating with someone you love and value and don't want to hurt is scary and that vulnerability takes practice and that perfect characters with perfect words make the most boring stories of all
I think people that say that sirius completely hated regulus are only children because if you have a sibling, especially a younger sibling you would understand more that sibling relationships are so complicated and idk about anyone else but I truly don't think I could ever hate my baby sister
Quick sketch for Halloween ~ Sirius and Regulus as Wirt and Greg ✨
What if after we picked dandelions and made a wish, what then
what if we had baskets and went berry picking together.
Ah... and now the Marauders Fandom has come for this post, lmao
Looking up Scottish mythological creatures and
Wulver: a werewolf in Shetland, that is said to have had the body of a man with a wolf’s head. It was reported to have left fish on the windowsills of poor families.
That is the nicest Werewolf legend I’ve ever heard of.
Remus: so what do you think? Peter: sorry I wasn’t listening but I strongly disagree with Sirius James: James: he’s not even here
Whatever you do don't think about Sirius staying up at night his first year at Hogwarts, talking to the stars because he missed his younger brother.
Whatever you do, don't think about how Sirius must have torn his hair out and screamed and cried for hours when he read Regulus' letter.
Whatever you do, don't think about how terrified Sirius must have been the first time he stepped between Orion and Regulus to keep Orion from harming his baby brother.
Whatever you do, don't think about all the unsent letters Sirius wrote to Regulus, begging him to come run away with him.
Whatever you do, don't think about how Sirius' heart dropped to his feet when he watched Regulus walk over to the Slytherin table during the sorting ceremony.
Whatever you do, don't think about how Sirius would turn into Padfoot and sneak into the Slytherin dorms just to see Regulus for even a moment.
Whatever you do, don't think about Sirius looking at James and seeing Regulus in his behavior.
Whatever you do, don't think about Sirius' heart wrenching sobs when he saw the mark on Regulus' wrist.
Oh, that wonderful feeling when you’re plotting and brainstorming and the dots just start CONNECTING all over the place and then it just spirals into this oh… oh???? Oh!!!! OH??!?!?? moment which is an unmatched high as a writer
