Your gateway to endless inspiration
Just a reminder, James, Lily and Remus (and Peter) were planning a birthday party for Sirius but it never happened. Ans Sirius will never know because he never knew, because they could never tell him about it. He spend his birthday alone in a cell. No cake, no candles, no presents, no love, but in the cold and dark.
Walburga: you do not deserve my son.
James: you don’t deserve your son.
Walburga: excuse me.
James: you heard me.
Sirius: where are you going Prongs?
James: to the aquarium.
Sirius: ..why?
James: because I’m an adult! And I can do what I want??
Lily: he saw a photo of a teddy seal and now he needs one.
James: we literally just met.. I hardly know you-
Sirius: I would kill for you.
James: ..
James: alright I need to swear-
Sirius: fuck.
James: swear as in promise??
i HATE seeing fanfictions where they portray Sirius as a bad, neglectful father who cares more about Harry than his own child. Sirius would NEVER. He knows what it feels like to have bad parents. To be the black sheep. To have your sibling be picked over you every. single. time. He hates his family for being like that. He hated his childhood and the way he felt about it. But then some people say, 'oh, but he loved Harry more than anyone, that's why he wouldn't care about his kid!'. Yeah, he cared about Harry and loved him like his child, but that was because he didn't have his own. Sirius Orion Black would never, EVER want his child to see their friends family and think, 'I wish mine was like that.' He would never want his child and Harry to behave the way him and Regulus did. No, he would want to look at their relationship and see himself and James. So no, Sirius would not be a bad father, because he would never wish a parent like that even on his worst enemy.
i think one of the most devastating parts of choices for me was all the things that were left unsaid between all of them. all the words they chose to swallow and never say. james and sirius never really processed or talked about how he was in love with regulus, what he saw in him, never learned the full truth of how much it hurt sirius. even close to the end of the story, when reg visits sirius' dreams it's clear he's not over it. that they just brushed it away and then reg dies and you can tell that he really doesn't have a clue just how much this destroys james.
the same for sirius and reg. they never hash it out, they never fully understand the depths of which they care about each other because they never let themselves really talk about it. they both echo this sentiment, saying they thought they'd have more time. more time to say all thats unsaid, that sirius DID write those letters, regulus DID love sirius, that they both felt abandoned by each other but loved each other so much. it's just so tragic to me.
james and remus watching sirius and regulus fight because one stared at the other for a bit too long.
james: i don’t get why those two are so angry all the damn time.
remus: short people are closer to hell.
*sirius struggling in the kitchen at 3 am.*
remus: what’s going on, love?
sirius: trying to rip the slutty little fishnets off my damn oranges.
*sirius and james having a discussion in the afterlife*
james: he named his kid albus severus, ALBUS FUCKING SEVERUS!!
sirius: you’re kidding.
james: i’m dead serious.
sirius: no…i’m dead sirius, you’re dead james.
sirius: what did i ever do to you?
remus: *pulling out a list* i thought you’d never ask.
sirius and remus texting:
sirius: i love you, stay safe! <33
remus: will do, i love you too abby. <3
remus: baby*
*sirius black is typing…*
remus: oh god, here we go again…
the marauders are at a party.
sirius: *shit-faced drunk, dancing horribly on a table.*
remus: *sighing* love is blind.
james: *also shit-faced drunk, singing horribly on a makeshift stage.*
regulus: *facepalming* love is also deaf…tone-deaf.
the marauders (and their incorrect quotes writer) are very engrossed in the depp heard trial.
everyone here is team depp! (you might wanna check on snivvy though, he might be team heard. but hey! you didn’t hear it from us!)
regulus: care to explain what happened pour moi?
james: uh- oui oui, so i had a little too much café on an empty túmmy, so i had a - how do you say - panique attaque.
sirius and regulus are eavesdropping on their parents while they’re discussing politics, and are texting each other whatever they hear.
sirius: did she just say that voldy’s going to enforce a marshmallow?
regulus: a martial law, you gormless git.
sirius black had way too much fun with his name.
making an entrance: “sirius black is sirius back!”
confused: “sirius black is siriusly blank…”
hungry: “sirius black wants a sirius snack.”
bout to throw hands: “sirius black will siriusly attack.”
under pressure: “sirius black will sirius crack.”
back from a dentist appointment gone well: “sirius black has no sirius plaque.”
bought a new bag: “sirius black has a new sirius sack.”
the list goes on…and it only gets weirder.
james is texting a sleepy regulus at 3am.
james: reg, would you still love me if i had no ears?
regulus: no, goodnight.
james is bringing sirius back home after a blood test.
sirius: *walks in happily with a lollipop in his mouth*
remus: i take it that the blood test went well?
james: he was in and out of that chair in exactly one minute!
sirius: yeah! and no biting this time, not even attempted biting!
sirius and remus are texting.
sirius: can we break up for 1 hour, 6 minutes and 11 seconds?
remus: no, but what for?
sirius: i wanna listen to adele’s new album from another perspective.
remus: as tempting as your offer sounds, it’s still not a valid excuse for me to dump you, sirius.
plot: sirius got dumped.
james: do you feel like you weren’t enough? is that why you feel so choked by your emotions?
sirius: i know i’m not enough, otherwise he wouldn’t have left me.
marlene: did you get the weird breathing trouble yet?
sirius: what, asthma? i’ve had that for ages.
james and marlene: *burst out laughing*
sirius: *gives in and starts laughing through his tears*
Rip James Potter. He would have loved asking Remus if he was the "Sigma Alpha Wolf"
Similarly, rip Sirius Black. He would have loved saying "erm actually" anytime someone was even the SLIGHTEST bit wrong.
