Sirius: Next person to say “weird flex but okay” is getting thrown of the astronomy tower.
Regulus: Preposterous boast but alas.
All the political discourse rn and I have seen NOBODY talking about The Third Wave???? Do you know what that is???? No???? Well Imma tell you! in 1967 high school teacher Ron Jones conducted an experiment during a lecture on the holocaust when they couldn't understand how the German people could allow the Nazi's to do such things to the jewish people. Jones started a movement called "The Third Wave" and told his students that the movement aimed to eliminate democracy. Jones postulated that democracy’s focus on individuality was against mankind’s “authoritarian” nature, which he aimed to emphasize with the movement’s motto: "Strength through discipline, strength through involvement." and only made simple changes on the first day like asking his students to sit properly, to raise their hands before speaking, and to address him as Mr. Jones. The experiment was meant to be only one day, but the students took to it. On day two a salute was made and the movement was called the third wave. It began to grow as his students not only took to his tactics, but other students wanted to join in. The line "Strength through community" was added in. And then on the third day as the movement grew again, the motto "Strength through action" was added. Students were given member cards, taught how to initiate new members, and were instructed to report anyone who did not abide by the rules. By the fourth day the experiment was blowing out of Jones' control so he told the students that it was a nationwide movement, and that he next day a presidential candidate of the Third Wave would announce its existence to the public. Students were asked to attend a rally at noon the next day, and three students who dissented were banished to the library while the rally was held- where jones had other friends pretend to be speakers before revealing the "president" of the movement: Adolf Hitler.
It emphasized being careful about who you follow. The experiment was made into a tv movie in 1981 called The Wave (which I highly recommend watching btw), and shows how easily people can fall into fascism. Please watch it or read the novel of the same name by Todd Strasser, or Check out the wikipedia page. Get yourself educated and use what you learn to protect your loved ones please.
yes, just ignore me fucking sobbing in a corner over this
i never thought of it that way😭😭
recently been listening to the song "Mystical Magical" by Benson Boone, and all I can hear is James writing it about Regulus, so I gotta brain dump.
IF ANYONE WHO CAN WRITE WANTS TO TURN THIS INTO AN ACTUAL FIC PLSSSS TAG ME BECAUSE I REALLY WANNA READ IT
⭐James is the lead singer of the Marauders, and his guitarist/best friend has a very off-limits younger brother who James has been sneaking around with
⭐Regulus is super guarded, so he constantly is mean to James and then super demanding of affection out of the blue
⭐Reg comes on tour with his brother, and while Sirius and Remus are on a date, James and Reg explore the city and find a cute little ice cream shop where they try 'moon beam' ice cream, and it instantly becomes Reg's favorite
⭐ Reg usually wears all black, but he once wore blue jeans to one of their shows, and James was OBSESSED(down bad fr). So now, whenever Reg wants to get his way, he wears them.
⭐ James wants more than anything to be Regulus's boyfriend and not just his FWB, so he writes a song about it(because he doesn't know how to express emotions. Very Camp Rock 2 of him)
⭐ The rest of the band loves the song, especially Sirius, who has no idea it's about his brother
⭐at the next show, James sings it and everyone loves it (especially Reg, but he wouldn't say that)
⭐ james finds him after the set to see how he felt about the song, and regulus calls him a "cocky bastard" before kissing him
⭐ Sirius walks in and freaks out super dramatic.
⭐ Regulus tells him to stop being so dramatic and says, "I have to watch you snogging Remus all the bloody time, so I can kiss my boyfriend whenever I bloody well want to".
⭐which makes James deliriously happy because Reg called him his boyfriend
⭐ Sirius then starts gagging once he realizes he just sang a song about James wanting his baby brother.
Actual lyrics for reference if you haven't heard it.
[Verse 1] There's nothing colder than your shoulder When you're dragging me along like you do, like you do And then you switch up with no warnin' And you kiss me like you want it, how rude, how rude
[Refrain] But I kinda like it anyways I don't mind if this is gonna take a million days I know you'll come around to me eventually If you sit back, relax, and join my company, my company
[Pre-Chorus] Once you know what my love's gonna feel like Nothing else will feel right, you can feel like Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans Dancing at the movies, 'cause it feels so
[Chorus] Mystical, magical Oh, baby, 'cause once you know, once you know My love is so mystical, magical Oh, baby, 'cause once you know, once you know
[Verse 2] My little hard-to-get baby I wanna give you the world Not saying you gotta chase me But I wouldn't mind it If you gave me just a little bit Of something we can work it with But all you do is push me out (Ha)
[Refrain] But I like it anyways 'Cause I think I'm getting closer to you every day I know you'll come around to me eventually Just sit back, relax, and join my company Oh, baby, trust me
[Pre-Chorus] Once you know what my love's gonna feel like Nothing else will feel right, you can feel like Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans Dancing at the movies, 'cause it feels so
[Chorus] Mystical, magical Oh, baby, 'cause once you know, once you know My love is so mystical, magical Oh, baby, 'cause once you know, once you know
[Outro] Ooh, ooh (Once you know what my love's gonna feel like) Ooh, ooh (Moonbeam ice cream, nothing else will feel right) Mystical, magical Oh, baby, it's mystical, magical

Regulus and Remus HAD a crush on each other on the SAME period .
Third year for Regulus and Fourth year for Remus.
Regulus gay awerning was Remus , and Remus first real crush was Regulus.
They were paired for commenting quidditch matches when Regulus had a broken wrist when he returned Hogwarts that year.
They commented together, and they were hilarious, they had the sarcasm and the passion.
Peter and Pandora were the true victims of this, Dora listened to Regulus rambling about Remus' welsh accent and Peter listened to Remus about Regulus' eyes.
They shared cigarettes ( Remus cigarettes which for casualties were always few of them so they had to share them instead of each having one ) , they walked down together a little later than other students because none of them wanted to leave actually, Regulus was gifted one of Remus sweathers by Remus himself one day in winter.
When Regulus wrist was okay, Remus thought that they would stop talking, instead Regulus always asked him if he was the one commenting on the match and once he said that Remus gave him luck ( Remus cried thank you , Peter wanted to suicide ) .
Passing fourth/third year their situation becomes purely friendly, they still have that strange connection but only as friends.
In Fifth Remus started dating Sirius and Regulus started to like James ( Pandora first thought was to suicide ) .
Years later one evening someone asked Regulus who has been his gay awakening and he answered that it was Remus in his third year.
Peter almost suffocated , and Remus said that in the same period he had a crush on Regulus. ( Regulus laughed the HARDEST in his entire life , Remus with him , Pandora and Peter they sighed damn loud )
When the others asked why they didn't confess, they both answered that they thought the other was being friendly.
Barty cried because ( his literal words ) : ' We could have the hottest couple of Hogwarts , Merlin and Morgana both ' .
Regulus and Remus both laughed ( Sirius and James were having an aneurysm ) .
Sometimes, regulus would third-wheel for wolfstar, as any younger sibling does. Throughout the whole time, Remus scolds Sirius for making dirty and inappropriate jokes in front of his little brother. The thing is, Remus knows that Sirius is very dirty-minded. What he does not know is that Regulus is 10x worse. So, in reality, Regulus had been pitching in less obvious jokes just so that Sirius can vocalize that inappropriate part. Example of how it would go:
Remus telling a story:...-and so it wouldn't fit in the bag
Regulus, innocently: Oh? Was it that big?
Sirius with a smirk: I know something else that is big -
Remus: SIRIUS ORION BLACK!

Reblog to have something lgbt happen to you this summer
NINETEEN SEVENTY?!!!?!?
when people put "trigger warning" on their content without specifying what the trigger warning is for
The fact that anti-abortion laws and anti-transgender laws are both being implemented en masse, at the *same* time, by the *same* people (who, it hardly needs to be remarked, are overwhelmingly neither women nor transgender) should be enough to convince any reasonable person that the narrative of conflict between and women's and transgender is, first and foremost, a divide-and-conquer strategy by the far right.
