Yes! And if Regulus had the "golden child" status, if nothing else, he felt smothered by their high expectations for him. Most "golden children" also struggle with feelings of guilt for having preferential treatment. No matter what side of the equation either Black brother is on, it would still be absolutely miserable and abusive.
"Regulus wasn't abused. He was a golden child and Sirius was the scapegoat. His parents loved him "
Obviously, there isn't any evidence of physical abuse against either Sirius or Regulus in the books. However, something caused Sirius to run away and it surely wasn't that his parents didn't give him pocket money. The psychological or emotional abuse must have been bad enough that Sirus decided to run. Anyone who has abt experience with toxic or abusive parents will know that every child reacts to it differently but at the end of the day, regardless of whether you follow the rules or you act out, their toxic or abusive behaviour is going to affect you. Parents dont become abusive because you break rules. Suggesting that Regulus with his "golden child status " was exempt from the abuse is just ridiculous and quite frankly harmful to people who find themselves in such homes.
Sirius would ask if everything is punk rock even as he is sobbing in Moony’s arms
Regulus Black’s lil black cat animagus gets the zoomies.
That’s it. Send tweet.
I saw somebody say that watching the Percy Jackson show made them realize that in the first books Percy doesn't even say half the stuff he thinks and he's just a quiet kid silently judging everyone, like they're so right.
Think about it from Grover's perspective. You know Percy as a quiet boy who certainly has his judgy thoughts but (aside from telling them to you) keeps them to himself. He's just trying to make it through school, for his mom.
Then his mom dies. And he loses the ability to give absolutely any fucks. He starts saying all this shit he never said out loud and to people who could do infinitely worse things to him than anything Nancy Bobifit ever even tried. And it only gets worse as he gets older.
Like bro went from quiet kid in the back of the class to fist fighting a god in the span of like a week. Then he openly told the gods to pay their child support. Grover was having heart attacks every other minute.
we are in a media literacy crisis
Professor reg would be so funny
Like imagine he takes the position of runes professor in Harry's 3rd year and it's just like
Student 1: hey, do you think it's true that the professor's whole family is crazy?
Student 2: I mean his older brother is on the run from Azkaban and his cousin is insane so...probably
Regulus: Mr Arnold, 10 points from Hufflepuff for not being able to whisper.
The class: 🧍♀️🧍🧍♂️
Regulus: Any other comments? Wonderful, let's begin.
“What if I write it and it’s bad-”
