Regulus' Decision
Regulus' Decision
This is kind of a pairing to my Sirius, and please ignore the fact that there was meant to be a chair, but I can't draw chairs.
Like Sirius, Regulus wears the purples so typical of the wizarding world, but unlike Sirius, Regulus pairs the purple with the popular green. His tunic is green silk, edged with purple and embroidery made from gold thread. Not only is his wealth displayed in having actual gold for embroidery, but also in the pearls that edge the embroidery, giving an extra richness to his garment. Regulus' tunic may have less purple (an expensive dye), but the use of green (also an expensive dye) with gold and pearls sets his tunic as just that bit more costly and is evidence of him throwing around the weight of the family name.
Further evidence of that is found in his coat. This is inspired by Victorian coats. One of the interesting aspects of the Black family is that they have gas lighting, a surprisingly modern invention compared to the candles used elsewhere, hence working it into his outfit. The coat is dual toned green and purple and edged in silver embroidered with 'Toujours Pur', the Black family motto. The crest has also been painstakingly embroidered on the cape of the coat. This is very personally tailored and there can be no doubt about it.
Regulus has a somewhat Norman haircut. I just particularily vibe with him having this look. I think the Normans were considered new money, but their influence cannot be ignored and so the haircut stuck around with purebloods (in my head). It also contrasts nicely with Sirius' longer hair.
Here, Regulus is penning his resignation letter.

she’s right
You know what I was thinking? What’s that? Let’s get married. Don’t… Don’t we need, like, a preacher, or something? What about the rings? What about rings? I mean, for future reference, I like princess cut. I like emerald cut. Never pear shape. I got an idea. I give you this sweaty piece of my father’s bandana as a token of my love. It’s perfect.

Go read an old fic.
There's such recency bias in fandom. As an author you post something, get a few reactions, and then it goes off into the bin. As a reader you check the tags, see what's new, and move on. But a lot of old stuff is really good. It's just sitting there, gathering dust, waiting for someone to take a peek.
So go on. Treat yourself.
Read an old fic.

“Flowers cannot birth a human, but cannot a human be made of flowers?” If only you had met the girl who bled rose water and cried petals - she was a meadow of wildflowers that played at being human.

Ive been seeing more and more ai fan 'art' and I just want to say that I'd rather see your shitty photoshop skills and stick figure doodles than the lifeless dead eyed renderings of a forest killing machine that scalped millions of images from real artists. Ty.
