Q: What are five things that make you happy?
Regulus: "The Stars. My brother, he's the first person who truly loved and cared for me. He raised me... if you tell him I said that I'll chop your head off. My Jamie, mon soleil. The piano and... old stories. Myths and fairytales and legends."
Barty: "Pissing my dad off... *Reg gives him a look* I'm joking, I'm joking. *Reg looks away* I'm not joking. I love watching kids fall. It always gives me a good little giggle. Piercings and tattoos. Oh! That fucker" *points to evan*
Evan: "things that make me happy? Blood, surgeries, dead things, funerals and barty I guess, especially when he's covered in blood."
Pandora: "I like flowers. Paint makes me happy, especially when I'm painting something pretty like flowers or sunsets or corpses or landscapes. I like regulus too. He's very... lovely. Evan is very lovely too and it also makes me happy when he hangs up my paintings. Divination is happy."
Dorcas: "Quidditch. Clothes and fashion. Marlene. Marlene makes me happy. And my friends. Regulus, Pandora,Barty, Evan and the rest of them. School. Hogwarts makes me happy cause that's were all those things are."
Pandora core
I really don't fucking understand why were we not given any infos about Dorcas's personal life?? The fact that Voldemort went out to kill her HIMSELF says a lot about her supposed involvement in the First Wizarding War and as a fandom we are not rightfully exploring her character arc. Which is insane, really, knowing that Voldemort wouldn't even waste his time to go on a murder spree himself but decided to kill Dorcas nonetheless....
If they had just given Dorcas a gun, the Wizarding War would have ended much sooner.
Soooo tired of people talking about how Regulus was “going against his family” and “the scapegoat” and “an outcast of the Blacks” because like… he wasn’t. He did exactly what his family wanted at all times. He joined the Death Eaters completely willingly. He was a blood supremacist. He was a shit person. He was the favourite child.
Now, if you ARE looking for someone who actually spent their whole life going against the Blacks, was an outcast, and was the scapegoat, I would like to introduce you to Sirius Black. Or maybe you’re looking for Andromeda Tonks? Because you’re sure as hell not looking for Regulus Black. Bro had a damn shrine to Voldemort. And, sure, if you really want to argue that he changed at the end of his life, maybe he did, but that is not the same as being like Sirius or Andromeda.
And listen to me for this one, yeah? When Sirius called Regulus “soft” in OOTP, he did not mean that Regulus was a sweet, touchy, kind-hearted, loving little thing. He meant that Regulus was naïve, too trusting of their parents, and had no spine when it came to their family, thus becoming a prick. Regulus was not a cute little baby, he was an asshole.
I joined the Marauders fandom to obsess over the Marauders, not join the Death Eater sympathizers club.
(Mind you, I have absolutely made Regulus and the Pantheon end up being good people in some fics, so maybe I’m a bit hypocritical. This does not mean that in cannon they were anything other than pieces of shit. Let’s also note that having fun is okay, and you don’t need to always abide by the books. It just ticks me off when people manage to get the things we know about these characters so egregiously wrong that they claim that the cannon and fannon Pantheon are the same.)
