“This is the house that built me and I’m gonna burn it down. This is the river I crawled from and I refuse to drown here. And bless the strippers but fuck the men. And bless the berries but fuck the farm. And bless the daughter but fuck the family. What is a home if not the first place you learn to run from? You’ve got to bite the hand that starves you, and in doing so Praise the place that birthed you. Birthed you fucked up. Birthed you ugly, and interesting, and ready to scream.”

i prefer black brothers relationship over every other ship, including wolfstar and jegulus
strongly agree!
they matter to me more than...literally any ship. like i would honestly kick remus and james off a bridge with no hesitation to save sirius and regulus. it's all about preference, i suppose, and what we relate to. i, um. well, clearly i have some family issues/trauma, so. yeah, regulus and sirius mean more to me than i can ever express.
i love when women are tall i love when women hate dresses i love when women don't wear makeup i love when women are mean i love when women like violence i love when women wear suits i love when women are career-oriented i love when women don't want children i love when women are loud i love when women cut their hair i love when women don't smile i love when women do any of this and love other women
there are many recurring themes involving regulus and corpses/feeling dead other than those two! lemme go find them!!!
you've got:

and then something that hasn't been posted yet, but isn't too spoilery:
and there's others, of course, but this is very much on purpose!!! and that similarity of evan and barty and regulus leaning on their corpses was also on purpose, because im mean! 🥰
everytime regulus calls james 'baby' my life is suddenly okay. yes this fic is tearing me apart but we got reg calling him baby. suddenly it's all okay.
