@ crane wives and marauders fans:

The parallel between Tongues and Teeth

and Never Love An Anchor

feels so significant when applied to the Black brothers' situation. Both Sirius and Regulus came out of their ancestral home with the feeling that everything they touched would rot just because of the exposure to their darkness, approaching relationships the same way. That's the same mindset that the singers of both Tongues And Teeth and Never Love An Anchor possess.

The singer of Tongues And Teeth goes into detail about what they think will happen with their potential lover with them from the start, warning them of the danger of just Existing near them. The song is from the present tense of the situation, as they're in the middle of making the decision to give in to indulgence. They jump into things, impulsively and headfirst. They can't hold back, even though they know the consequences. If it's okay with their new lover, it's okay with them.

Meanwhile, in Never Love An Anchor, the singer talks about the situation from far in the future, if they had instead decided to stay away. If the singer had never given in to the temptation, and had let their "rotting" mindset keep them on that track. It talks about the grief you feel over the knowledge that loving you only brings awful things, and that staying away is the kindest thing to do even though it hurts so much. The situation is long over, and the singer is left wondering if they're hated, or even remembered.

Tongues and Teeth is written about the same kind of experience that Sirius has in every goddamn Wolfstar fic, and there are so many unrequited and avoiding love Regulus Black fics that Never Love An Anchor feels like an obvious fit, especially with Jegulus. Tongues and Teeth represents Sirius in that he lives his Life like this song. He can't hold back how much he wants and feels, so he talks back to his parents, gets sorted into the house his parents absolutely Hated, he constantly verbalizes his hatred for his family and all of the darkness they represent, I could go on and on. At the same time, he feels that he is stained by that same darkness and that he can't ever escape its presence in the lives of those he loves. He just doesn't want to have to hold everything back, so, just like the song, "if you're fine with that, can be mine like that," he'd want to have it like That. Him and Remus are so often characterized in fanon as being so magnetic to each other, causing them to clash just as often as they come together. They think they'll ruin each other because of the darkness they possess, but Sirius especially tends to put Remus on a pedestal of goodness, like the singer does to their potential lover.

Regulus Black's name is somewhat synonymous with tragedy in fanon. Whether it's the "no beta we die like regulus black in the cave" tags for shock value, the black brothers angst in everything from major fics to tiny headcanons, or the unrequited love for either James or Barty that permeates most Regulus Black media, he's a character that doesn't ever really get a break. Never Love An Anchor and the grief it represents feels relevant to him when the subject is Sirius or James, but I'll stick to James (keeping it romantic with the Wolfstar/Tongues and Teeth comparison). I'm a Choices coward (couldn't make myself finish it, I got too sad), but the "person on the dark side can't leave it but can't stop loving someone they have to protect from it" trope is still pretty common amongst Jegulus fics. Whether or not the love is requited, it doesn't change the mentality that Regulus always uses to approach it. "I am selfish, I am broken, I am cruel." His darkness is the reason he never lets himself get close. In the cases where he does get close, he cuts it off to avoid inevitably hurting the one he loves, the epitome of Light and happiness that he thinks he doesn't deserve, James Potter. Honestly, thinking about the two of them while listening to the last bit in the lyrics (scroll back up to read) is a painful experience but it just fits so well.

I think both songs apply to their respective Black brothers very well individually, but it's also such a good comparison to see how their upbringing affected them. Sirius was always the impulsive, headstrong one so Regulus wouldn't have to be, and this is a direct result. They have the same beliefs about themselves but it manifests so differently because of how their environment shaped them.

I've been having brainrot about these two songs and how they relate to the Black Brothers for over a month at this point, so I hope somebody else appreciates how much I've thought about this thank you <333

I don’t know if the person who made this playlist follows me here or even still read Drugs and surgical scrubs, but if they are:

This playlist is fucking amazing and exceeds my own one and like, how the fuck did you capture the vibe of my own fic better than me?!

I love you so much 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[anauro]

SO! I have three songs. The first one is an apology song for whatever angst i'm going to squeeze in here, and it's Make it to me by Sam Smith.

The second is Mr. Brightside, which fits James extremely well at this point of the fic (the whole team about missing brightside/being brightside, the jealousy, the feeling of sickness that comes with it).

The third is "Pain so close to pleasure" by Queen

pain is so close to pleasure Oh yeah Sunshine and rainy weather Go hand in hand together All your life

James is in a vulnerable place in his life for a lot of reasons. I can only begin to imagine the struggle of trying to get clean after years of drug abuse, and how lonely and vulnerable the experience is. But this is also a positive thing because he is trying to do better, and Regulus serves as a good distraction from it as well (yk, spending time together).

Ooh, ooh, pain is so close to pleasure Everybody knows One day we're loving each other Then we're fighting one another All the time

'Cause I bet my arse all that tension can bring a bit of fighting, especially between Regulus and James who don't know each other and are both in a time of their life where they're both vulnerable.

When I was young And just getting started And people talked to me They sounded broken hearted Then I grew up and got my 'magination And all I wanted Was to start a new relation So in love, but love had a bad reaction I was looking for Some good old satisfaction But pain is all I got when all I needed Was some love and affection

I mean. This is pretty self explanatory. "And people talked to me/they sounded broken hearted" I imagine that's how Effie and Monty sounded when talked to James. And I don't think James ever really forgave himself fot it. "So in love, but love had a bad reaction" maybe fits James at the moment he had Harry.

+ James is at a point of his life where he must really be craving affection and emotional bonds with people, and obviously Regulus must be the first person that pops up, but Regulus seems in fact busy loving someone else, so it all feels a bit vain? There's all this wanting that results in nothing but pain.

Ooh, ooh, pain and pleasure When your plans go wrong And you turn out the light But inside of your mind You put up a fight

This is James trying to get clean (and failing).

Where are the answers That we're all searching for? There's nothing in this world To be sure of anymore Some days you're feeling good Some days you're feeling bad But if you're feeling happy Someone else is always sad

James pretty much lost Sirius lately which I can imagine to be a pretty bad hurt? "But if you're feeling happy/someone else is always sad" can both be the happiness of getting clean and then the thought that your friends might not be on the same path + The adrenaline drugs bring vs the pain they caused.

Let the sweetness of love Wipe the tears from your face For better for worse So let's make the best Of the rest of our years

This is James imagining what a future with Regulus might look like. A future where is a bit more ambitious perhaps.

Apologies if this doesn't make sense, I was avoiding having to study

Hi sugar 💖

I’m finally letting this one go, cause it’s been sitting in my ask box for fucking ages.

You know my thoughts on it —you are absolutely and amazingly right and spot on.

And everyone else should know it too.

Also, here’s a Dass James playlist that I fully endorse, if anyone is interested!

There is also a Dass playlist made by someone else, my own Dass playlist and a ch19 James’ pov playlist Lio made when I asked him to help me get into the feels (cause he’s cute like that) 💙

Bonus playlist: Darkrose ❤️‍🔥
