Do you have any early fandom blackcest fics? I feel like they’re all lost in the LJ wasteland :(

You know when you want to do something really well that you put it off until you have time? And then you keep putting it off until you're like ahhh this is way too late? Sorry anon you asked such a good question <3 <3

Sirius/Regulus

Five Fragments of an Obsidian Heart by bitterfic on LJ (2006)

There was never a first time with Sirius.  We had been in love for years before we ventured far enough away from the comfort of each other to learn that it was wrong.  That boys were not supposed to love boys, that brothers were not supposed to love brothers. 

This dark Regulus-centric story has my heart. Bitterfic was my favorite author, and all of her stuff is excellent (and still on LJ!)

With No Spine Intact by xylodemon originally on LJ, now on Ao3 (2008) (3.5k)

You can't always get what you want, even when you're Sirius Black.

Sirius/Regulus, Sirius/James, Sirius/Remus!! I love these three pairings together with maximal angst and minimal healthy communication.

7 Loves/7 Lives (i called you brother 7 times) by xylodemon originally on LJ, now on Ao3 (2006)

This is a thing that never should have started.

Absolutely iconic Regulus/Sirius which shaped my understanding of these characters so thoroughly.

Sense Memory by acidpop25 on LJ (2007)

This is the moment where the love story goes wrong, transcends star-crossed and becomes something different, becomes galaxy-crossed, universe-crossed; this is where the loving gets all tangled up.

PG rated Sirius/Regulus

Bellatrix/Sirius

i cannot run from my family (they're hiding inside of me) by mind-conundrum on LJ via wayback machine (2012)

Bellatrix would say he ruined her, but that would be giving him far too much credit.

Gorgeous short Bellatrix/Sirius.

Perfection and the Lines We Cross by formerlydf on LJ (2006)

Bella commits incest like it's a hobby, and she prefers having the beautiful to being beautiful.

Such a good Bellatrix! and includes SO many iconic lines.

Le Morte by Alyx Bradford on LJ (2005)

Bellatrix, the oldest daughter, was sixteen when her father and uncle informed her that she would wed her cousin Sirius.

Arthurian legend Sirius/Bellatrix

Narcissa/Bellatrix

A Sister's Mercy by kethlenda on IJ (2007)

What she does not expect is what she knows she should have expected: sunken cheeks; matted, tangled hair; bloodshot eyes in deep-shadowed circles. For a moment she thinks that Bella has lost her beauty. But then she smiles. Smiles, and speaks. “Cissy.” A sibilant whisper that is both name and title.

D/s Narcissa/Bellatrix with Domme Narcissa

Dear Narcissa by bitterfig on LJ (2008)

The tangled skein of love and hate among the sisters Black.

Narcissa tells Andromeda about Bellatrix at her funeral.

btw there's no hard barriers between any queer identities- where one identity ends and another begins, they meld together, creating a gradient between the two, and every other identity around it. it's one big gradient, not rigid boxes that can never be touched by one another. queerness involves embracing those gray areas, celebrating them, and the lives of people who occupy them. being unique does not involve casting away those who are similar to you- there are no barriers between different queers, we are all part of the the same beautiful tapestry.

Greetings bugs and worms!

This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)

If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.

The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Reblog to teach your followers about OCD

(But also not reblogging doesn't make you evil, silly goose)

Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's 3 years of constant hormone therapy, 4 years of voice training, 12 sessions of facial hair removal, bottom surgery by the best surgeon in the country,

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

The Republican party has 492 currently proposed anti-trans laws in addition to the laws that have passed and at CPAC stated they wanted to "exterminate" trans people. Yes, being a Republican automatically disqualifies you from ever being supported by myself and any decent, rational person. If you proudly participate in the genocide of a minority, you are never getting my support, whether it's a vote in an AO3 election, a bake sale or a date. If you are affiliated with a group that wants to kill my brother and my girlfriend, then I see no reason why I should go, "oh no I'm sure this isn't a red flag! I'm sure this person is one of the good fascists! I won't take their being a fascist into consideration when voting" because hot take: there is no such thing as a good fascist.

An OTW candidate could have given only answers that purely aligned with my beliefs 100% and I would still not vote for them upon learning they were a Republican. They want to exterminate people I love. I can't overlook that. And it's absurd to ask that people do so and act as if being a fascist is not a red flag or dealbreaker in and of itself.
