I'm experiencing Sirius brainrot per usual so here are some of my thoughts on him singing
I think Sirius can sing
And well for that matter
It's a combination of natural talent and musical lessons he took as a kid
But he can just
Sing
He doesn't sing very often (and when he does it's often classic rock)
But he can easily hit notes and his voice is just
So pretty?
Makes you want to stop and listen
The Marauders love it
They were floored when they found out tho
And James tries to get him to sing all the time
(James can't sing)
But he only really sings if he's in a really good mood, if it's a distraction for a prank, or if he's drunk and it's karaoke night
He kills karaoke night by the way
With the vocals and the insane charisma the crowd is just in the palm of his hand
The first night Sirius gets up on stage and does karaoke it's talked about for weeks
But I digress
What I'm really thinking about is Sirius singing smooth jazz
It's not his genre of choice,
But his voice could fit it so well
Smooth with rasps at the appropriate times and able to hit both low and high notes?
Perfect
It happens one day when Sirius and Remus are studying in the common room or their dorm and Remus is playing smooth jazz from his gramophone (bc Hogwarts tech)
It's not his genre of choice, but the melody is catchy and he likes the beat
And so Beyond the Sea by Bobby Darin is stuck in his head
Thoroughly stuck in his head
He spends most of the day humming it quietly
But in the evening when they're just lounging around the common room,
He starts to sing it
Softly, under his breath
He doesn't even realize he's singing aloud
He's just singing while staring off into space and fidgeting with something
Peter notices it first
His eyes go kinda wide when he looks up and realizes who's singing and he immediately nudges James
James immediately smiles broadly
He loves when Sirius sings
James kicks Remus who glares at him until James gestures his head toward Sirius
And Remus's jaw drops
He's heard him sing, but not like this
(Take that platonic or romantic either way Remus would love it)
And maybe his voice gets a little bit louder as the song rises
But he still doesn't really notice
And he doesn't notice when one by one, the whole common room quiets
Because Sirius's voice is addictive and is the type makes people just stop to listen
And honestly some are just surprised
Bc that boy can croon
He sings the whole song through
And it's absolutely perfect
When he finally finishes, he abruptly becomes aware of the silence
And he kinda blinks blankly at everyone staring at him
"What?"
"Flitwick is gonna be so pissed you never joined his choir"

I know that most of us have realized that Brad could've been a playable character due to the fourth character slot but imagine
You're playing through a version where Brad's still alive and you get up to the Steel Foundry. Michael, Trevor and Brad are all arguing and Franklin has to be the one to separate them and calm them down. After some pleading and demanding on all of their parts, Brad finally agrees to help them all and they all take their positions.
Instead of only having Lamar there as backup you have four characters that you're forced to control during that huge chaotic shootout between the FIB and Merryweather as one of the final missions during The Third Way.
Bonus Points: Lamar, in utter confusion, starts yelling when Franklin goes outside to help him. "Wait--WHO'S THAT?! THERE'S A THIRD OLD DUDE?!"

its pretty significant to the development of their relationship and to keeping parad's motivation consistent that even in his villain era parad never puts down/humiliates emu. he COULD'VE if he had wanted to bc he literally knows all of emu's weaknesses and insecurities, but he said it himself, emu never fights back when he's threatened, he only fights for the sake of others, and parad's purpose was always to spur emu into action. we can see that when kuroto unveils emu's insecurities, emu always shuts down or falls into denial. parad knows this, and this is why he never taunts emu in this way.
for example, when parad introduces himself to emu at first, rather than rub salt in the wound and make him feel bad for failing to save kiriya, parad tries to get emu to hate kuroto and get revenge for kiriya. when he tries to manipulate emu he always plays up his strengths and offers him choices, both because he genuinely believes in emu and because he's trying to influence him to act. this is also what sets him apart from kuroto as a villain.
also important to note is that in all of their interactions prior to ep 39 parad is always trying to get emu to see his things his way and join his side, whether by influencing him through their bond or by taking direct action, so using the kuroto method of exposing people's vulnerabilities would be counterproductive to what he's trying to do and he knew it wouldn't get him anywhere
