i just went into a little rabbit hole rewatching queen and david bowie doing their live aid performances in 1985 and UGHHHHHHH

THE MARAUDERS WOULD HAVE LOST THEIR MINDS!!!!! SIRIUS AND REMUS WOULD BE SO INSANE STANDING RIGHT AT THE FRONT!!!!!!! JAMES AND PETER WOULD GET ON EACH OTHERS SHOULDERS TO SEE THEM!!!!!!! THE GIRLS WOULD BE THEIR TOO!!!!! I JUST SMBFNDBFNDBD

is there a fic where they’re alive to witness it??? someone pls tell me there is i’ll love them forever

check out my playlist featuring a gryffindor party, marauders edition!!

if the marauders we’re teenagers in the 90s, Sirius Black would absolutely have loved Rage Against The Machine.

Lily would have been a Cranberries girly.

Marlene would have adored Garbage.

James would have been an The Offspring fan.

Peter would have been a U2 dude.

Remus would have been the biggest The Cure fan, but would not like The Smiths at all. I have no reason for this, just trust me lol. He’d also love the Ramones.

i could continue all day….

Randomly realizing that

'We only said goodbye with words

I died a hundred times

You go back to her

And I go back to

I go back to...

Black'

Is LITERALLY Jegulus and then proceeding to scream into the oblivion at 2 in the fucking AM is so not what I needed rn.

stay (i missed you) by lisa loeb is the most sirius and regulus song ive ever heard

@ 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

NEPTUNE BY SLEEPING AT LAST IS SO REGULUS ARCTURUS BLACK CODED I COULD WRITE A WHOLE ESSAY OVER IT

this is how they get you --

you're just writing fics & listening to music, trying to live ur best life, when BAM: some song you forgot existed hits you with lines like, "I can't see why I'd do anything without you ... and when I'm not with you, I know that it's true that I'd rather be anywhere than here without you."

and just like that, you are once again sucked into the black hole of prongsfoot emotions

Hot take: Taylor Swift shouldn’t be the musician of the marauders.

Just think about it. None of the marauders would listen to Taylor Swift. Sure, Peter would. But that’s Peter.

Sirius is very into the Rock and Roll scene, he wouldn’t listen to her.

James? Yep, you guessed it, Rock and Roll, but not as much as Sirius.

And Remus? He would occasionally listen to classical but he also likes Rock and Roll

Idk about the rest of the cast I just know the core four.

Dropping in with character related songs because I can't help myself 🎵

🎵Twenty One Pilots My Blood- this song is all the marauders, the sentiment hits right in the feelings and the music video makes it even sadder 😢😭

🎵Matt Maeson Me and My Friends Are Lonely-again for all the marauders just for the aesthetic of it

Not to be emo but Linkin Park Crawling is so for Remus

Smother by Daughter is Peter Pettigrew

Now I don't know why I really have no reason for this other than water and drowning but Ashley Serena Jolly Sailor Bold makes me think of Regulus

This is cliché as hell but James Potter Fell in Love with a Girl by The White Stripes ❤🤣

Florence and The Machine Landscape, Sirius Black "its burning through the bloodline, its cutting down the family tree, growing in the landscape, darling, in between you and me"

OH MY GOD I LOVE ALL OF THESE SO MUCH!

My Blood is 100% Mrauders coded! and I agree the video music is too much 😭😭😭

Me and My Friends Are Lonely - yes to the Marauders buuut for some reason 😭 actually Wolfstar... like... old post-azkaban Wolfstar

Crawling is DEFINITELY Remus! nobody can convince me otherwise!

I had never thought about Smother for Peter but yes! it feels so well!

I think Jolly Sailor Bold is a fitting choice for Regulus, and sadly, I think we all know why 😂

YES YES YES TO JAMES AND FELL IN LOVE WITH A GIRL! (also thanks for making me listen to the White Stripes again, it's been a while 😂)

and Landscape simply SCREAMS Sirius!

this was the best thing! I loved it so much!!! thank you, love! 🥰

The guilt of loving someone who betrayed you. Or Remus emotions after October 31th, 1981.

Rage, sadness and loneliness for this one :)

Regulus watching Sirius laughing and partying and doing pranks with his friends while he’s being crafted into a child solider by their parents:

Feels like we had matching wounds

But mine's still black and bruised

And yours is perfectly fine
