Regulus supposed that deep down, he had always known how everything would turn out. Sirius was always going to leave him, it was an unavoidable fact. Some things were simply written in the stars, irreversible parts of life that could not be changed by mere mortals meddling around with them. But just because it was fixed in stone, just because it was fate, didn’t stop Regulus from being completely and utterly destroyed by the mere concept.

Sirius had been the only true constant in his life.

He had been there when Regulus was five and their mother had looked at him with true resentment in her eyes and slapped him across the face for the first time. He had held the younger boy in his arms and ran his fingers through his hair, both boys shaking with fear as tears rolled down their cheeks.

He had been with Regulus when he was eight and Orion had verbally abused him for merely interacting with a muggleborn. Sirius had sat down with Regulus and ensured that he had known that nothing he had done was wrong. After Reggie had understood this, they snuck to the kitchen and stole a jar of cookies to eat while the two hid in Sirius’ room.

He had been there when Regulus was nine, his parents locking him in his room with no food for two days because he had freed one of their house elves. Sirius had sat outside Regulus’ door for the whole time, whispering to him and slipping food through the gap under the bed. They had sat in silence, neither finding anything to say that could possibly improve the situation. But silence or not, being there together made them both feel immensely better.

Sirius leaving for Hogwarts was one of the worst years of Regulus’ life—he knew Sirius would be back, though, and that’s what kept him counting the days.

Once Regulus came to Hogwarts, him and Sirius had seemed to drift apart slightly. This didn’t hurt as much as Regulus had anticipated it would, because he now had friends. He had Pandora, Evan, Barty, and Dorcas. Sometimes he had Sirius too, but Sirius was popular; he didn’t need to cling to his brother like he once had. Regulus didn’t miss the lingering glances in hallways, but he never really took any specific notice of them. He assumed that if Sirius had wanted to speak to him, he would have.

In the summer holiday after Regulus’ first year, the brothers had reconnected. They grew closer than ever, and although they still didn’t speak much at school when they finally returned, there was no doubting the love between them.

Sirius had always been there. Whether he was actually present in the moment or just in Regulus’ head, he was always by his side in his heart. But then, during the Christmas holidays of the year when Sirius turned sixteen, something seemed to change. Sirius’ fights with their parents became more and more frequent, going from happening twice a week to twice a day. He stopped being around as often, crashing at James’ house a few times a week. Regulus was holding his breath, knowing that if he stepped out of line even the slightest bit, one of his parents would snap and everything would take a turn for the worse.

He was also spending an increasing amount of time at Pandora’s house, her sweet nature a much preferred option to the feeling of walking on eggshells in his own home. Evan was there most of the time, and where Evan was, so was Barty. Every once in a while they’d manage to drag Dorcas away from Marlene and get the whole group together, but that was rather rare. It was nice, though, spending time together without the pressure of school. It ensured that Regulus understood that they actually wanted to be around him, something he had struggled with for as long as he could remember.

One thing Regulus knew was that if asked who his best friend was, he would say Pandora without hesitation. He never doubted her genuinity, which soothed a lot of his anxiety and helped him put things into perspective. Regulus needed to know that he was wanted, and Pandora never hesitated to reassure him. The two had just had the Rosier house to themselves, Barty and Evan on a date and Pandora and Evan’s parents out for a dinner party. Music softly playing off Pandora’s record player she had bought at a muggle thrift store, the two sat on her bed eating chocolate brownies and talking about what some would consider nothing but was everything to them. They had been doing this for about six hours when Regulus decided that he should probably head home to avoid his parent’s anger at him for being late.

Regulus got home and knew before he even stepped in the door that something was terribly wrong. Slowly and cautiously opening the door, Regulus held his breath as he stepped inside. The house was eerily silent, no whispers of paintings or hurried footsteps of houselves, let alone not a single sign of human life. Exhaling softly, he quietly shut the door and attempted to walk down the hallway without making a sound–which turned out to be easier said than done. The eyes on the paintings followed his every move, not once losing focus on him. He raised his hand to his forehead and pushed some stray hairs out of his eyes before making his way up the stairs to his room. He went three steps at a time, eyes fixed on the floor as the nervous lump in his throat simply grew. After what felt like an eternity, he made it to his room. His hand closed around the cold metal doorknob and he exhaled shakily. Turning the door handle, he stepped into his room before pausing. He turned, eyes landing on the door to Sirius’ room. Sighing softly, he closed his door and made his way across the hall to the door of his brother’s room.

He knocked softly.

No reply.

“Sirius?”

He knocked again, slightly louder this time.

Still, nothing.

“Sirius, can I come in?”

There was no response. Regulus sighed, slumping down on the floor, leaning back against the door and letting his head knock against the wood. He chucked. “Doesn’t this remind you of something?”

Once again, nothing. He didn’t really know what he had expected.

“Sirius, I don’t mind if you don’t want to talk to me. I won’t be offended. Can I just come in and make sure you’re okay? Please?”

The silence that followed ached painfully in Regulus’ ears.

“I’m going to take your silence as a confirmation that I can come in.”

The only sound that broke the silence was Regulus’ sigh. He stood up, opening the door of Sirius’ room and glancing around slowly. It was messier than usual. Sirius wasn’t a tidy person, but he wasn’t this messy. Clothes covered every inch of the ground and one drawer of his chest of drawers had almost fallen right out of the frame. His bed was a sorry excuse of being made, covers and sheets falling off to the point where they were more on the floor than the bed itself. There was no Sirius to be seen.

“I guess he’s spending the night at James’ again.”

He turned to leave before pausing. He grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and started writing.

Hi, Siri.

I assume you’re at James’, and I hope you’re okay.

I miss you, by the way. Maybe we could hang out when you get home back.

Reg

Regulus liked James—possibly a little too much —so he knew his brother was in good hands. He just wished he could see him.

Two days later, Sirius wasn’t back. It was now pretty obvious to Regulus that he was not going to be back. Sirius had left .

Left him. Sirius had left him.

He couldn’t quite believe it. He had spent five hours last night simply sitting on Sirius’ bed, wishing he was still there. The emotions he was feeling were not quite describable, but if he was in a state where he could think of the words matching these emotions, he’d probably say he felt betrayed, lost, and hurt. Of course, he would never actually say that. Regulus wasn’t one to express his emotions. One thing that Regulus understood was that he felt no form of anger towards his brother. He recognised why Sirius had left, and he thought it was very understandable. What he hated was being left. He was alone in this horrendously big house and he didn’t even have it in him to talk to Pandora about it.

Regulus had never felt comfortable sharing his feelings. He assumed this was due to his parents pushing them away whenever he had tried to tell them anything at all.

Regulus knew he’d be okay. He didn’t need other people to survive, he never had.

Three weeks later, Pandora showed up at his bedroom door with a box of chocolates and a mission. She was determined to get him outside and out of the bedroom he was rotting in if it was the last thing she did. Regulus knew he was lucky to have a friend like her, but he wanted nothing more than to sit in his bedroom for the rest of his life. Part of him knew this was unhealthy, but part of him just didn’t want to show his face to the silent house he was residing in.

Pandora would do anything to make Regulus feel okay, and she was well aware that to do this she would have to take him to Sirius, but they would cross that bridge when the time was right. First, she had to carefully shake him out of his shell of self destruction, reminding him that there were people who cared for him.

Pandora sat on his bed, looking at him with soft eyes that he avoided at all costs. “Reg… Reg, look at me.”

He didn’t, but that didn’t stop Pandora from softly cupping his head in her hands. “Regulus, I have been your best friend for five years. I know something’s wrong—and you don’t have to tell me. Just come to my house with me, Merlin knows you need to get out of this house, and Barty and Evan are out. You don’t have to talk to anyone you don’t want to talk to.”

Now Regulus looked up Ever so slowly, he leaned in to rest his head on his best friend’s shoulders, not speaking but his eyes holding more meaning than his words at this moment possibly could.

After ten minutes of simply being in each other's presence, Regulus spoke. “Can we get out of this house?”

Pandora nodded, helping him up. “My house?”

“I don’t mind.”

“Would you rather be alone or do you mind seeing everyone else?”

“Where are they?”

“I think they’re at Marlene’s house.”

Regulus was not close to Marlene. He didn’t know much about her, in all honesty, but because her and Dorcas were practically attached by the hip, he assumed that she was nice. And to tell the truth, Regulus needed to see his friends. He paused before muttering.

“I want to see everyone.”

“Alright.”

Much to his relief, the mood of the hangout didn’t change vividly when he arrived. He noticed Barty and Evan shared a soft glance between them, and Dorcas gave him a quick hug that was noticeably more gentle than usual, but the conversation stayed as lively as it had been before he arrived. Regulus allowed himself to lean into Pandora’s side, twirling her long hair between his fingers. She continued talking to Dorcas as her right arm embraced Regulus into her side. Regulus didn’t speak much, but no one expected him to.

As comforting and grounding as it was, it wasn’t what he needed. Regulus needed reassurance, he needed affirmations that he wasn’t the reason his brother had left. And the only person who could truly give him this confirmation was Sirius himself. He felt guilty about this; Pandora was doing more than she had to do and he couldn’t feel the amount of gratitude he knew he should be feeling. He must have stiffened, because his best friend looked down at him with an amount of gentleness that made him feel alarmingly close to tears. He felt impossibly small, looking down at his hands and fixing his gaze on the golden sun ring he always wore as he tried to regulate his breathing.

Marlene looked at him curiously from where she sat on the dark red couch across the room. She cautiously glanced at Dorcas before speaking. “I know where Sirius is if you want to see him.” That was possibly the most Marlene had ever said to him. Regulus stared at her blankly for a moment, before nodding slowly.

“Yeah, uh. That sounds nice.” his voice was impossibly weak, and he might have been embarrassed had he had any awareness of himself at this moment. But he felt like a shell of himself, he wasn’t really there.

“Okay. We probably shouldn’t all go, it might be overwhelming. So–”

“I’ll come.” Pandora spoke, much to Regulus’ relief. Despite not feeling entirely complete with her affection and care, he appreciated it. It was a kind of foreign concept to him, the genuine adoration she had for him. He had never witnessed that in his family, let alone experienced it himself. He smiled shakily at her and she squeezed his hand reassuringly.

The trip to find Sirius was quiet, but no one seemed to mind. When they were about halfway there, Regulus’ heart leapt as he had a sudden realisation. They were on their way to James’ house. On second thought, it made sense. James Potter was Sirius’ best friend, he wasn’t sure why he was so alarmed by this fact. When they arrived at the house, Regulus took a deep breath. He was overwhelmed by the emotions of this moment, the concept of seeing Sirius for the first time in two and a half weeks and being back at James’ house was causing his head to spin. He hadn’t seen James in almost a month and it was achingly evident from the heavy feeling in his heart.

Walking through the door, the first thing he saw was Sirius’ black Doc Martens sitting next to a few pairs of dirty converse beside the doormat. James’ converse. He swallowed. The first thing he heard was Sirius’ voice from a few rooms away, which almost made him do a double take. Marlene walked further into the house after quickly kicking off her red converse, and Regulus followed soon after. Pandora kept her distance behind the two, not wanting to intrude on the moment—this consideration once again reminding Regulus how deeply he loved her.

Marlene glanced back to make sure Regulus was behind her, smiling gently at him before walking into the Potter’s living room. James looked up instantly, eyes widening a fraction as he took in the boy standing in the doorway. He clearly didn’t think his words through before blurting, “Reg?”

Sirius stopped talking, whirling around with wide, panicked eyes. “Regulus?”

Regulus desperately searched in his brother’s eyes for a sign that he could go hug him, that he could say something, that he could walk further into the room. There was a certain element of distress in Regulus’ eyes as he seeked the affirmation he so desperately needed. Sirius seemed to be in shock, and it was clear to James that he would not be affirming his brother’s doubts any time soon. He wanted to, of course he did—James was well aware that Sirius loved Regulus more than anything in his entire world. So James spoke up, saying possibly the most awkward thing he could have said in this situation.

“Do you want a cup of tea?”

Regulus seemed to do a double take, but he nodded. He hadn’t considered that in order to make the cup of tea, James would have to leave the room. And James leaving the room meant Regulus and Sirius being the only ones in the room. He was unaware of this fact until James left the room, throwing a sweet, gentle smile over his shoulder. Regulus felt alarmingly alone without him there, his eyes darting from Sirius to the wall to the floor to Sirius again to his hands. He didn’t want to stare; if there was one thing that his parents had succeeded in, it was raising their youngest son with impeccable manners. No matter how good his manners were, his parents had failed to teach him how to deal with his anxiety. He fiddled with his hands, twirling the gold ring on his index finger around slowly for about a minute before finally looking up again.

This time, Sirius was looking at him too. The older brother seemed to understand that Regulus was not going to be the one to start this conversation, so he sighed and sat down, patting the spot on the couch next to him. Regulus sat, decidedly further away from Sirius than Sirius had gestured for, but Sirius didn’t seem to mind—if he did, he had the decency to stay silent. It would be hypocritical for Sirius to get upset about Regulus not sitting next to him on the couch after leaving him alone with their parents for two and a half weeks.

“I’m sorry,” Sirius eventually spoke.

Regulus said nothing, so Sirius shakily continued. “I didn’t want to leave you. It’s just– it just– it was too much. They were too much, you know?”

“They always have been.” Regulus mumbled softly.

“And they said something about Moony.”

Of course they did.

Sirius sighed, “he told me off for leaving you though. Said I should have bought you with me.”

“You should have.”

“I know.”

Just as the two brothers fell into an awkward silence, James walked in with a small grin on his face. “Okay, so, I think I remembered pretty well how you like your tea.”

Sirius looked between the two as James passed Regulus the mug, watching how their fingertips brushed and a smile graced Regulus’ lips. Regulus didn’t like milk or sugar in his tea, something that Sirius had always wrinkled his nose at. James took his tea far sweeter than Reg did, but he was more than happy to make it exactly to Regulus’ tastes if that was what would make him happy. “It’s perfect. I can’t believe you remembered.”

“How could I not?”

It was then that Sirius’ eyes fell to their hands, noticing that Regulus’ gold ring was a sun symbol and James wore a silver star one. This was a contrast to both of their usual jewellery colours, the gold earrings in James’ ears suddenly a lot more obvious than they had been minutes ago. Sirius silently watched the interactions between the two and swallowed slowly.

Sirius had this burning need to be loved, to be appreciated, to be the favourite. Regulus was his parents’ favourite son, and although he acted like this didn’t faze him, it stung. Sirius had introduced Reg to Barty and Evan, and now the three were inseparable. Sirius didn’t even talk to the two Slytherins anymore. Remus loved Regulus, the two had bonded over things that Sirius couldn’t even begin to understand—and he knew it was stupid. He knew that Remus looked at him like he had literally hung the stars, but there was this underlying jealousy of the fact that his brother got along with everyone without even trying. Regulus didn’t want to get along with people, he’d be quite happy spending his days whispering with Pandora and basking in his own company.

Was Regulus more likeable? More manageable? That had to be it. Sirius was too much for people. Sirius was too much for everyone.

And now, his best friend was snogging his brother behind his back. It wasn’t that he was bothered by their relationship, he didn’t care who Regulus dated as long as they didn’t hurt him—and James would never hurt him.

James was, theoretically, perfect for Regulus. They balanced each other out, much like Sirius and Remus. James was the Yang to his Yin, the base to his acid, the light to his dark. And perhaps it was the fact that the two fit together so naturally that bothered him. Perhaps it was the inherent jealousy of Regulus always being better than him at everything. Regulus had Sirius’ best friend looking at him with pure, soft adoration in his eyes, and Sirius couldn’t even deny how much sense they made together.

In his heart, Sirius knew how much love James had for him. James was one of those people who did not ration out the love and care he gave people, he was overflowing with genuine devotion and love, not hesitating to shower those around him with it. And Sirius knew that the two of them had the strongest friendship he had ever had and likely ever would. He knew it wasn’t going to change. Merlin, with how James gazed at Regulus, Sirius predicted that whatever they had had been going on for at least five months. And those five months had not changed how James had acted with Sirius, their friendship was as codependent as ever.

Sirius knew that James had enough love for both of them. He knew that the love that James could give was exactly what Regulus needed. Sirius knew that these feelings had been drilled into his mind by how his parents had treated him, but his parents weren’t here now. Sirius knew that this trauma ran deep, however, and it would take a while for him to come to terms with this relationship.

Regulus could tell from the look in his eyes that he had figured it out. It didn’t bother him, the only reason he and James hadn’t mentioned it to anyone was due to the complications with their families and how difficult it was to actually see each other regularly. Offering a soft smile to Sirius, Regulus leaned into his brother’s side. Sirius froze up for a moment, glancing at James as his eyes widened. James smiled tenderly at the two before getting up and leaving the room to wherever Marlene and Pandora were.

Slowly, Sirius relaxed, and Regulus almost breathed a sigh of relief. “I missed this.”

Sirius hummed, “I missed you more than you know, little star .”

Sighing, Regulus closed his eyes. Sirius may never be the constant in his life he had once been, but as long as he was part of it, Regulus couldn’t complain.

I'm so curious about all of them but the Descendants Au???? I have to know more! Please!

Hi!! I'm sorry it took me so long to answer this but thank you for sending it!

So the descendants au is not a one to one au but it's set in the descendants world and kinda overwrites the descendants movies. The main set up is the same: Princess Julie, whose parents are still Ray and Rose but Ray and Rose are essentially Eric and Ariel, decrees that four VKs will be brought to Auradon. The four she chooses are Luke, son of Ursula (who's first name is Emily but she goes by her middle name Ursula bc it's more menacing), Bobby, son of Drizella, Reggie, the genderfluid youngest child of Gaston, and Flynn, the nonbinary child of Mother Gothel. But the main character is Willie, who is the pixie son of Caleb who is essentially the original evil version of Peter Pan. He forces Willie to sneak over to Auradon with the other VKs and convice them to let him stay bc his mother is supposedly Tinker Bell. (I know way too much about Pixie Hollow lore so this turns out to be false but anyway).

The VKs are supposed to get Willie to Pixie Hollow so he can learn to use his pixie magic to bring down the barrier. But of course they make friends and find romance and learn to be good.

The ships include: Reggie and Willie (Reggie helping Willie learn to make friends and also figure out gender stuff). A lil bit of enemies to lovers with Luke, Julie, and Nick, who is Julie's boyfriend and the son of Rapunzel. And a lot of enemies to lovers plus a healthy dose of love potion shenanigans for Bobby and Alex, who is the son of Sleeping Beauty. Plus some enemies to qpps for Flynn and Julie. Other characters include Carrie, daughter of Cinderella who takes Bobby in as her step cousin, and Kayla, daughter of Belle and the Beast. I have gorgeous moodboards for all of them that I will post eventually.

And here's a snippet below the cut!

Julie steps forward, ignoring the way the guards all draw closer around her.

“Are you okay?” she calls.

All the VKs immediately back away from her, their bodies tensing up defensively. Interestingly, Julie notes, the four she actually invited withdraw into each other, leaving Willie exposed in front of them.

“I–I don’t know,” Willie stutters. He spins around to try to look at his wings like a dog chasing his tail. Pixie dust sheds off of them as he moves.

“Dude, you must’ve got your magic back,” Lukas says with widened eyes. “Wait, does that mean…” He wraps his hand around his shell necklace and closes his eyes, muttering something under his breath.

A guard pulls Julie out of the way and throws himself in front of her. However, instead of an explosion or a curse or Julie’s voice magically disappearing from her throat, all that happens is that a bright blue electric guitar appears around Lukas’s shoulders.

“Wicked,” Lukas breathes, running his hands over the guitar in awe.

“Of course that’s what you do with your first ever spell,” the non-freckled boy huffs.

happy pride month!!!! anyway tua pride headcanons cus i want to lol :P *note- i do not identity with all of these labels. i cannot give you a personal experience or defense for these. if i include any harmful stereotypes, lmk. it’s pride month and queer people are valid*

quick overview, analysis below the readmore

luther- he/him cishet

diego- he/him cis and bicurious

allison- she/her cishet

klaus- he/she (they sometimes) genderqueer/enby, pansexual

five- they/he gay and ace. agender.

ben- he/him cishet

viktor- he/they transmasc lesbian

for some i used the canonical pronouns as to not confuse before i get the explanation. <33333

luther- to me he’s like a cishet guy honestly. i still love the pride hc’s other people have, bc most of the time they’re really good. i just prefer this reading, espec. with sloane (QUEEN!!!!). i also don’t like the s1 era fics where everyone hated luther (almost entirely unjustified) so they would make him be a dick to klaus and stuff. like did he drink reggie’s kool aid? yes. but is he homophobic? no. i think a better example in a canonical kid fic of him saying mean things to klaus for plot would be like,, making fun of him for being a druggie or lazy, because that’s stuff that reginald would actually encourage him to say. rant over lmao that just has always bothered me.

diego- honestly this one is back and forth for me, between bisexual and straight. like him and lila being bi4bi is just too fucking amazing, but he does give off straight guy energy sometimes so i’ll put it at a bi-curious. he’s def an ally though, and i can imagine he would do his best to get over his fear of needles to help v with his t shots, or defend klaus from homophobic assholes. although i personally hc him as cis, the transmasc diego people have their fucking shit together because that HITS DIFFERENT. i think done right, it adds so much to his character in AU’s and stuff and it’s just rly cute!! but bisexual diego is a very fanon thing that i like to see.

allison- i think probably straight and cis once again. she seems very comfy and happy in her femininity and gender, and her with ray??? (sidenote almond as a ship name makes me lose it ITS SO CUTE). i think she’s always been a big ally to klaus. i can also see her as pan or bi, but pressured to appear as straight by the constant eyes on her since she was like ten. i mean not only was she the only girl, but also a black girl? she was 100% so insecure during her childhood because people were constantly critiquing her. so honestly i don’t think it would be too out of the ordinary to hc her as queer.

klaus- i mean, we all know this one. as far as i know he has been canonically (though not mentioned in show, more like an interview or something) pansexual and non-binary. if not then it’s VERY FANON. directly through the show, we see his attraction to men through dave and also his enjoyment of more feminine clothes and makeup and things like that. i hc him as genderqueer and just generally chilling out and not really caring too much about labels. like a “i’ll fuck you if you’re hot” kind of attitude.

five- now this one might get me some weirdness, but i don’t see five as a cishet man for my hc’ing purposes. a common fanon opinion is that he’s asexual, which i totally like. i also think he’s gay. i guess that would be homoromantic? and also agender. he said no. no. MEN. i think that any romantic hc that does not acknowledge delores is not doing it right, bc holy shit delores is so fucking important to the understanding of his character!!!!! i believe in the interpretation that delores is himself, but a separated part that he forced himself to view as a separate entity to survive the apocalypse. he kind of fucking tricked himself into loving himself, though unfortunately as many people have pointed out, he doesn’t see himself as capable of good. he doesn’t see that delores is him- he can’t. he was down bad though for his mannequin apocalypse wife okay??? they were in love fuck you???? idk sexuality is fluid. let this old man live his life. he’s so tired. also agender, i think they don’t like being called a boy (possibly childhood trauma, possibly gender) but still is okay with “old man”.

ben- he is the token cishet of the upper numbers trio ( 567 icons real and true ). the jennifer incident was heavily implied if not directly and canonically stated to be a romantic issue, and also him and jill!!!! yes it was weird but it was so cute. bring back umbrella ben istg idc about the themes you messed them up in s3 anyway. i would talk more about him BUT HE NEVER GOT ENOUGH FUCKING SCREENTIME EVER AND THE THEMES THE THEMES HIS CHARACTER THEY DIDN- gets shot

viktor- canonically transmasc, canonically a woman enjoyer, ten out of ten character. i love looking at s1 era fics where people would be like. there is no way this guy doesn’t like women. *lesbian headcanons*. and elliot page just slaying with the queer rep season after season. i think he/they pronouns for viktor is really good and i like it :)). also some people hc them as bi because of harold (or for weird reasons but we don’t talk about that-) but i think it’s more of a lesbian thing personally. now. don’t come after me i’m not looking for he/him lesbian discourse on my pride month fandom post. AND FURTHERMORE elliot page is a king and he doesn’t deserve in any way the crazy hate he gets for being trans. trans men are men, trans ppl are valid etc. that being said, i hc him as a he/they lesbian. RESPECTFULLY. i imagine there were a lot of complicated factors while he was coming out and realizing things about themself. i think the harold thing was wanting to be wanted and loved more that actually wanting or loving, and you know we all gotta have that spicy *heteronormativity* woohoo.

bonus LILA (queen)- bisexual!! also she/they hc’s are valid asf for that. we love a queen who can do both. not sure if this is partial or full canon, or just heavy fandom but idc.

okay byyeeee happy pride month and also have a good juneteenth. black lives matter!!!!!

#tua #writingastraightanswer #the umbrella academy #luther hargreeves #diego hargreeves #allison hargreeves #klaus hargreeves #five hargreeves #ben hargreeves #viktor hargreeves #happy pride month everyone!!!!#this was way longer than i meant it to be lol #enjoy ig

Uh i already talked abt time travel jatp fanfic BUT i wanna do it again i love it.

Check it out. Nick hands out a book to Julie that belonged to Caleb with spells in it. Including a time travel one. she decides to use to come back in time to stop Bobby from becoming Trevor Wilson or convince him to give Sunset Curve the credit for their songs, so Luke's parents will know his dream was worth it, Alex's parents will regret rejecting their son and Reggie's parent will get a ton of money they can get in a fund to Steve's college fund. As the boys agree, they use her phone as a catalyst/portal.

They come back in time bc Julie is gonna need guidance, time for shenanigans as people making fun of julie bc of the way she dresses, the boys handing out each one a piece of clothing for her. Julie find this girl that says Trevor Wilson is going to be the name of rock one day, so they realize they haven't gone back enough, so they travel again. They end up finding Bobby and he's dating Rose (julie was too stunned to speak) and not wanting to talk abt his band. Julie still goes and try to talk him abt the importance of keeping their memory alive. So Bobby decides to record the songs and give credit to Luke. happy ending. (unless..?)

Except when they come back to the present days, the world is a mess. Bc Carlos doesnt exist, instead, Carrie is Julie's sister and Flynn doesn't even know Julie, and she finds out that's bc Rose married Trevor, so now he's Julie's dad and Ray is nowhere to be seen. So they go back into the past again to prevent that from happening. But what happens is. Bobby and Rose dated, Bobby met a girl that convinced that his Rose was holding him back instead of helping him become a rockstar, Bobby never worked on his insecurities and inferiority complex or grief, dumped Rose and recorded the songs under a new name, thats when Rose moved on from her life, met Ray, actually fell in love and later, started listening to Trevor's songs, unaware of what he did.

But because Julie interfered, Bobby realized that girl didn't wanted to help him, and told Rose the truth about the songs, she convinced him to get into therapy, Sunset Curve songs were a huge success, he got rich and married Rose, and she never got to actually meet Ray. So the gang comes back and once they realize that they can't get their credit without ruining Julie's life forever and vice versa, they agree that is better keeping things the way they went, cuz that's how they were supposed to happen. also, since Trevor will get divorced from that girl and seek therapy, he can get a grip without Julie's advice.

One problem though. They'd be using Julie's phone planner as a portal and right when they decide to call off this plan and come back, Julie runs out of battery. As they are in the 90's and there's no charger for Julie's phone, they're scared that they'll be stuck in the 90's forever and Julie doesn't even exist yet and they panic saying that Willie was right and that magic was dangerous and they shouldn't have done that, they even consider getting into the HGC just to get the book again, when a portal opens in front of them right before they do it and its Willie, who proceeds to explain that anything can be used as a portal, including writing the date on his board and reciting the spell. They feel dumb. Especially Julie bc she was the one who had the book and she just left it open on the garage. Anyway, Julie goes home and hugs her dad very tight.

#this got so long omg can u tell i love time travel tropes?#it does hurts them a little when they agree that they have to let Bobby have a destructive mindset and engage in a toxic relationship.#but julie cant live without carlos and ray. and flynn. even if her mother is there.#dont ask how willie knew where and when to find them. he has seen things #or how nick got the book its another whole story.#julie and the phantoms #alex mercer #luke patterson #julie molina #reggie peters #willie jatp #bobby shaw

Helloo guys! I'm new to the fandom and i just want to know who do we fuck with and who we don't who's done our boys dirty and who's an actual good friend of theirs

( My bestfriend was the one who introduced me to the fandom w said ur page was the best❤️)

hi anon, welcome to the fandom :)

first off, that's nice that your friend recommended me. i feel famous now haha

okay, this got RIDICULOUSLY long so........ my apologies i give thorough notes lol

for friends of snc, i would say most of the ppl they hang with currently are good ppl. none of them seem overly weird or user-y just yet. bc snc mostly stick to themselves and kat and that's about it, so it's a bit hard to know who they actually are close to outside one another.

as for friends to be wary of, that's gonna be a bit of a doozy to explain lol

short answer: elton and corey. here's a post about elton that explains and gives more details about all of his shady stuff. corey gets added on bc he tags along with elton for all of his shit and is basically his lap dog so… fuck the both of them.

jake is a bit questionable, since he was shady in the past towards them. but i don't really think he's that bad comparatively to other ppl. plus he was like the only one from their old friend group that actually sent colby well wishes when he announced he had cancer.

their old friend group which includes but is not limited to tarayummy, kevin langue, mike's dead, reggie webber, all of them and some more have at one point or another been shady towards snc. or outright ignore that they ever existed to them, which is weird. you can fuck with them if you want. honestly, i don't care. i know i'm still a fan of aryia (badboywolfy) who seems to be on okay terms with colby/snc.

a lot of the shade thrown at snc from old friends hasn't been recent, so i'm willing to give some leeway with some of them.

there are about three ppl that colby hangs out with that i don't like, and have made that very clear on here. first off is brennen. i recommend you check out this account to learn why we don't like him. collectively most of the fandom doesn't like him. and if all of that shit wasn't bad enough, he also is just a clout chaser and uses colby whenever he can for videos which is just lame.

next person is shea, a girl that colby has done a couple collabs with over the years (mostly in 2017). to sum up what she's done in the most basic and quickest of terms - she's really obsessed with colby. she's been in gcs for years telling fans personal info about him, lies to them and tells them that she's dating him when he's clearly not with her like that, has told gcs info about other ppl in colby's life (that was a girl) so that fans would know this person and him weren't dating, has liked edits shitting on amber scholl (who we love dearly) and other girls colby is friends with, and when called out for it didn't say anything publicly but privately told her gcs the apology. then when she finally apologize publicly, continued to do it regardless. she also may or may not have talked shit about a fan that was into colby in said gcs and then blocked her and then when asked about the fan pretended to not know who that person was. when colby and her seemed to not be on the best of terms, she liked comments blaming the fandom for ruining their friendship.

so… yeah.

and then stas is the last person i don't like. she's very similar to shea in some regards, ie gcs. basically for a while has been telling fans info about colby, like what he smells like and shit like that. she would like edits shipping him with her (shea also did this a lot too, the difference was that colby also would like edits doing this. with stas, not so much.) she would constantly like and unlike things pairing them together. then last year, during a trip to europe - she started sharing her (and subsequently snc and kat's) location with fans which was how some fans found them. her mom was also sharing stuff on her facebook and fans noticed. stas' roommate is also in the know about fandom drama and likes things related to that on twitter. also during this trip, colby posted a snapchat that was of stas dancing that had "malishka" as the caption - which means babygirl/baby in russian (which is what stas is). this caused TONS of fans on twitter to congratulate colby and her on "finally" coming out as a couple, and she liked tweets about it. but it's very clear from the fact that colby was hella drunk during this festival that they all went to and the fact he doesn't know russian that clearly stas made him write it (or wrote it herself on his snap). colby has also constantly claim to be single all this time. they all came home from europe, colby hung out with her once more. stas has a sub-based thing on insta and fanfix where she posts bts of her life, and she posted she was going out on a date and in reality she and colby (along with a bunch of other ppl) were hanging out and going to a club. aka she was trying to make it seem as if she was going out with colby.

after that, colby kept some distance between him and her. i think something happened, but we don't know for sure. colby deleted comments on a tiktok shipping them together, colby told both snapchat and xplrclub that he was very much single and not looking for a gf rn, colby went on "date" with some girl and stas tweeted (and deleted) "wow.. sometimes the people you think who really care shock you the most" and "it was never real and meant nothing to you" and "lies". she also started a poetry insta and clearly wrote about him on there. she's also made tiktoks that can be seen as about him as well. she also still to this day on her sub-based content platform posts pics of her and colby behind a paywall.

i think her and him are on good terms now, but clearly something happened between them. and not in the "they dated and broke up and things were messy" kind of way. more like she was into him, he wasn't into her, and then things got messy and she took it out on him online and in front of fans.

so that's why i don't really like her. but if you want to like any of these ppl (maybe besides brennen and elton) you can. i don't fault ppl for liking whoever they do. god knows snc have done some questionable shit in the past. no one is perfect.

sorry this was really long lol i figured i would get it all out of the way so you don't have to do too much digging. there's probably more i could have added, but this is the... general gist lol

49, 58, 62

49. What fic of yours would you say is the best introduction to you as a writer?

this is so hard!!!! but... i think i'd probably have to go with either iteration of the onlyfans au lol bc i think they both showcase my penchant for slow burns though in VASTLY different ways 😅

58. Do you have a favorite piece of figurative language you’ve written?

funny enough, the first line that came to mind was this excerpt from the jatp onlyfans au!

He keeps his mouth so close to Reggie's neck that Reggie feels every word he says as if Luke's etching it into his skin.

that line has just stuck with me!

62. In [insert fic], is there a deleted scene/idea you wish you could have included? Why did it get cut?

lol i know u sent a follow up saying you meant another one but i'm gonna answer this broadly anyway bc honestly i really don't cut scenes out of my fics like... ever. there's been a few instances here and there where i've restarted whole scenes because they're just not working, but overall i am a Horrible Editor and i just keep EVERYTHING.

happy Juke Jeudi.

I bring nothing but this:

Juke and So Close from Enchanted. Luke basically realizes 'oh I'm dead, I can't date Julie.' so then he kinda gets distant and they realize other people can see them so they go with julie to another dance and willie's there and maybe someone asks Flynn to dance and reggie goes somewhere to leave juke alone (bc you know willie, Alex, and reggie want juke to get together) to dance and the song is some pop song or whatever so it's safe for them to dance and then the dj sees them and goes 👀 'oh that looks like a boy who wants to date the girl but can't and the girl also wants to date the boy'👀 and starts playing so close so they dance because Luke wants to be selfish one last time and hold her and dance and stuff. she asks if she can kiss him and he says he doesn't want to do that to her. she then asks "If things were different" and he cuts her off and says yes. and then they run in opposite directions or something and julie goes to mrs Harrison's room and then Luke goes to Julie's locker. Flynn finds julie crying and j says "he's dead. they're dead and Flynn just slowly sits on the bench and comforts her cuz she knew it was coming. Alex, reggie, and willie find Luke, and he's crying and says "I'm dead. We're dead" and Alex and reggie don't get it but willie does and then Luke looks at the boys with a tear stained face and then that's when it hits for alex and reggie. they both r tearing up.

and then!! they kinda just awkwardly move on with their lives, until one night, juke starts walking under the stars or something and she kinda falls a bit and Luke catches her and then he takes her to the studio and gets the boys to help care for her and then they all wake up and during the whole thing julie had a vision that they (including willie, we Stan willex here and these poor teens don't deserve too much heartache) have heartbeats and are alive now and then juke gets together eventually (Flynn approves) and everything's good!

This is mildly inspired by a scene from Wednesday the show, too.

This was a very long ongoing sentence, sorry.

happy juke jeudi!

we love a happy ending 🥺 esp one where all the boys get a heartbeat and it’s the sweetest moment ever!!!

also ofc flynn approves. everyone does. juke are are soulmates and they’re all here for it ✨

#it’s always jeudi on my blog #jatp #juke #happy juke jeudi!#i’m such a sucker for julie just. lying her head on luke’s chest just so she can listen to her favourite beat for the rest of her life 😭#thank you for sharing!!

I want to know everything about the 'you married a rodeo cowboy' au including 'do we get references to assless chaps'.

LMAO YES.

okay so this one is @daintyduck99 's fault and will hopefully be a collab??? but it really is her fault

she messaged me with a Rascal Flatts song (These Days) and said "someone could write a Peterpatterlina fic loosely based on this"

(There is a line in the song you married a rodeo cowboy, that ain't the girl and knew")

and my brain spat out 357 words of a fairly detailed summary (i will condense it for you bc this is tumblr hahaha):

high school sweethearts luke & julie break up after graduation/drift away in their twenties

suddenly it's ten, fifteen years later and luke is doing the struggling musician thing--playing small clubs, open mics, tucked-away bars

and one night, in one of those bars, he looks up from his last song to see julie molina in the crowd

she's just as beautiful as the day he last saw her

and he finishes his set, rushes off stage, hoping she hasn't left

and hears "luke patterson" in that voice of hers

and there's a Moment

but then a man in a motorcycle jacket and black cowboy boots sidles up to julie, in her space, and luke bristles, and julie says

"luke, this is my husband, reggie"

and his heart drops

game's over before it begins

she married a rodeo cowboy in las vegas

BUT luke can't seem to hate him, he's drawn to him too, to both of them

they close out the bar

maybe the game's still afoot....

#the way he rides #peterpatterlina #rukebox #seriously the summary is even more detailed than that #it just fell out of my brain #and ash was right there with me bc she's awesome #i very much would love to finish it #and add an assless chaps joke because LMAO #trust me that there are definitely 'the way he rides' jokes #because obviously

What about headcanons for FPP/???; I don’t think anyone’s asked about them yet

Oo lil good ol' faceless joe, as Rebecha calls 'em. Some of these im stealing from my gf but thats bc i dont write FPP much

Since ??? cant be pronounced without saying question mark three times in a row, and the name FPP is prone to ridicule from SWK ("Haha pp"), FPP also goes by El ('lion-el')

Uses cue cards to talk to people. Has little emoticons on them and everything since he also cant express emotion thanks to the lack of a face

Has a special cue card to hold up whenever Reggie or Jeremiah talk. It says 'ok boomer'

He/They

Bi with a male lean

If they (and the rest of The Hex cast) ever fully went into the real world while Lionel's alive (this would be an au, not like a theory type thing), El would feel all the same stuff as Lionel. This includes emotions, pain, etc. Luckily, they're spared of that while still in the inn

Helps Bryce cook! He wants more hobbies that aren't walking and listening to a machild vent

They also doodle in their spare time. Not particularly good at it, but he's having fun so who the fuck cares

Does their best to display a happy-go-lucky personality, to try and even out how negative everyone else is. Doesn't always work, but hey

Is usually the one SWK drags into doing stupid shit with him, since El's both the youngest existence wise and also they can't say no

Probably the most or second most mentally healthy in the group, the only person who might beat him in the mental health department being Bryce

Probably listens to game fansongs and constantly has the mii theme playing in their head

Naps on people. If someone's sitting in one of the barstools, El will come over, pull a nearby stool over, and just. Nap on the person. Everyone's grown used to it and just lets it happen.

They're also learning sign language, and knows morse code. Bryce has learned with him so he can translate

If you couldn't tell. El x Bryce *does a gay lil dance*

Had a crisis in the middle of the night once bc 'how can i see with no eyes but cant talk with no mouth??????'

Mf you dont have ears either stfu

Can somehow just. Turn on subtitles for everyone and everything. Listening to someone talk but can't keep track of the words? Subtitles on. Wants to listen to music while someone talks but it's important? Boom, subtitles.

#the hex #the hex game #the hex fpp #the hex fps #the hex ???#actually why is fps a nickname for them ive seen it a few times #what does it stand for???#scov.txt #also hi again blue anon :D

Personally the only two whom i never had issues with were Cassie and Xepher. They were quiet and don’t really post or tried doing anything with the fact that they were associated with snc. I think they were the two who had actual jobs too. Even when Reggie got close to knj, cassie was super quiet. Devyn became snotty and badmouth the boys on twitter, then the next day showed up to their house for a party even though they were no longer friends. Tara used to be okay and now is a spoiled immature mean girl, and Katrina honestly the same. She doesnt have any actual friends and shes bossy and judgmental. I always thought her and Tara were most alike and so neither would take crap from the other one. They are both problematic but seriously Tara is on another level of rude now. The knj fandom disliked her because shes always so rude and aggressive towards JC and demanded shed win or have the rules changed in games for her specifically when none of the other girls in that friend group complained,but the rest of the guys hangout with her more than they do with Jake so i guess they tolerate her now.

I feel like tara acted like she's a better girl companion to knj than their own girlfriends or girl friends.

I won't say it's really true bc i really don't like them enough to watch everything they do (not including knj). This is just the feeling I've been getting from her ever since crossing paths with them.

I agree that xepher and cassie are and were always unproblematic, and devyn became this way since she got back with Corey. I don't know what to say about Kat. I don't find her spoiled, not even by Sam bc she pays for stuff too, it's not always him who does. As I said before, Kat has every right to not see the others as real friends as the others have the right to not see her as a real friend. Let's be honest, they started talking bc the boys brought them together. None of them seem the type to become friends if they met under other circumstances. So obviously, there's no need for them to be friends. All of them are "problematic" in their own ways, but the fake friendships were bound to happen since they don't seem to be on the same track. And as for being judgemental, she has no real connection to anyone as to not being judgemental towards people, especially if they are judgemental towards her

Sugar, sugar! Oooooh honey honey!

Had to wait a day to watch this ep bc my DVR is broken and Verizon is ruining my week on the up-low. Anyways...is anyone shocked that Archie's Heaven is having a Stepford life w a kid named Fred Jr? That's all he talks about anymore. And for him to say "this IS the real Riverdale" to Veronica...um, not it's not. He still just views Riverdale the town as this impossible ideal, one which it will never be and never has been. And he would rather stay in his manufactured afterlife fantasy, which he seems to know doesn't include his real loved ones, than return and finish the fight that he started by bringing them all back to Riverdale in the first place. And sure, he's been through a lot, so why wouldn't he want peace?

But I thought he loved Betty. So why would he abandon the real Betty in favor of the Pod Person Betty in the Sweet Hereafter? That would seem to suggest he loves the idea of Betty and what having a family with Betty would be like as opposed to the person of Betty Cooper. Does Archie Andrews, the individual with his own thoughts and desires, love Betty Cooper, the individual with her own thoughts and desires, or does "Archie Andrews", the traumatized man who does nothing but fantasize about an idealistic version of the past and molds his thoughts and desires into an obligation to honor Fred's legacy, love the idea of "Betty Cooper" and what she represents.

Plus the fact that even after all Barchie has been through this season, Veronica somehow still has a 50/50 chance of ending up w him? Sounds like he's not too passionate about either of them if he's going to be swayed so easily by circumstance.

Also, does Betty even want a life as depicted in Archie's Heaven? The TBK taunted Betty about having a white picket fence w Archie, and she said "maybe I can." Right...you CAN. But do you want to? Or do you just feel like you have to bc that's the highest moral pillar you can think of, the surest way to prove you're not evil or whatever she thinks she is. Bc Betty grew up in a fake perfect family where it was all smiles and happy suburbia. And while I'm sure Barchie's family wouldn't be toxic slop garbage like the Coopers, I still think Betty would feel pressure to suppress herself. I mean, look how she acted in the Sweet Hereafter...serving 1950s housewife. Their kids were even idealized versions of them w the girl being smart snd the boy being dumb and loving music.

And sure, I get it's supposed to be idealized bc it's Archie's Heaven, but that fact that he didn't even want to leave...he didn't want to fight for that future w the real Betty...he would rather just skip to living the fantasy already w fake Betty and his fake family. Not to mention he didn't even leave for Betty. He left bc it was the "right thing to do." Bc all he cares about are his Fred-esque principles. When will he care about PEOPLE? Flesh and blood people, not dogma, what what the people represent, just people? It would be refreshing to have him actually seem to care who he ends up with based on who he loves as a human being rather than who could best give him his Riverdale family fantasy. But that's how he made his decision in S5, so why would he change now?

Not even going to address how Jagoffhead chose being famous and dating his crush (a burger) in the Sweet Queerafter over Tabby even tho his biggest fear is allegedly dying alone? He sure puts in any effort to make that not happen. But he about to die anyways so...guess he had a point!

P.S. Major props to Percy for being the most incompetent villain bc u made Kevin be able to resist being a follower AND Reggie value something besides his own opportunistic agenda? Wow. Tangs continues to be a plague btw. Also a Mary mention? I hate her bruh.
