you all want to act like he was a villain but lowkey regulus contributed more to materially defeating voldemort than sirius ever did.... my boy was stealing horcruxes and solving crucial mysteries meanwhile his brother spent like half that book series angrily sequestered in various rooms. and serving face
bit camera shy isnt he
"Regulus Black but IF he had Sirius's music taste bla bla-" HE DOES. SIRIUS RAN AWAY AND LEFT ALL OF HIS VINYLS SO WHEN REGULUS MISSED HIM HE WOULD GO TO SIRIUS'S ROOM AND LISTEN TO ALL HIS MUSIC BECAUSE IT REMINDED HIM OF HIS BROTHER. but if you ask him, he will NEVER admit it out loud. thats the end if this ted talk, goodnight
Fleamont and Euphemia moved to the UK as adults, so James grew up speaking mostly Punjabi at home, his parents never being particularly confident in their English skills and being much more comfortable speaking in their mother tongue.
So whilst he is fluent in English, occasionally he will forget a word or phrase and he will say it in Punjabi first. This happens a lot in first year especially, and again at the beginning of each school year as he adjusts after a summer barely speaking English.
The other marauders find this hilarious so over time it becomes a game for them where James will act out the word charades style for everyone to try to guess.
When Regulus moves in with the Potters and joins the group, he initially doesn't want to join in the game but very quickly becomes unbeatable.
Everyone just assumes that it's just one of those things he's good at because he's weirdly clever so they don't question it too much.
Until one day James overhears Regulus talking to Fleamont in fluent Punjabi and he realises he learned a whole language, just so that his parents can have one more person in their home that they can speak to in their own language.
That is the day James Potter starts to fall in love with Regulus Black
Harry “my dad didn’t strut” Potter and James “I invented strutting” Potter
Regulus: Until I fell in love with you, I thought my attraction to men was purely physical.
James: So you were gay... and then you realized that you were Even More Gay.
Regulus:
Regulus: Yes.
Romeo, Benvolio, and Mercutio low key remind me of Regulus, Evan, and Barty
it's 3 in the morning but regulus just called him "Jamie" for the first time
