Marauders as mitski songs
Hi! another one? yeah, but this time weāre here with my love regulus because i kin him and, honestly, i always want to talk about him
iām a little wary about this one
once again i must remind yāall that this is my own interpretation. especially since i kin this boy and that affects the way i think of him (am i projecting? probably) but at the same time i must say i donāt want to romantice the death eaters nor justify bigotry. i could make an entire post of my personal interpretation of regulus
not gonna lie, at first i thought about giving regulus āgoodbye my danish sweetheartā with the focus being, of course, his and siriusā relationship. and it may be because iām an only child, but i donāt really like how sometimes we reduce regulusā character to siriusā little brother, because he can be such an interesting character
anyways, i finally chose for him everyone, from lauren hell, a song which mitski defined as minimalistic - she actually made it when she didnāt had any instruments around!
letās go with regulus āeveryoneā black
(did i lose the chance to do regulus āeveryoneā black // sirius ānobodyā black parallel? yes, i will never recover)
___________________________________________________
Everyone, all of them
Everyone said, "Don't go that way"
So, of course, to that I said
"I think I'll go that way"
the song begins with this rebellion, the protagonists is going against everything their surroundings are telling them. thereās a certain cockiness to this decision, āso, of course, to that I saidā is telling us the protagonist usually does whatever they want.
this may no sound like regulus at first, i know, but itās because thereās been this weird babygirlfication of reggie, and i think yāall are forgetting this boy wanted to join the death eaters. iām not the one to take jk rowling seriously, but she had something to say about regulus. apparently, he "got in a little too deep... He was attracted to it, but the reality of what it meant was way too much to handle"
now, we can argue about what was regulus attracted to, but as a slytherin i will assume regulus was attracted to the power voldemort possessed. now, āthe reality of what it meant was way too much to handleā could be the fact that voldemort was actively making horrocruxes, but i would find it weird that someone could excuse a literal genocide but draw the line at immortality, so the reality of what it meant is probably more about the killing part.
now, you may be thinking āwhy would he join the death eaters if he couldnāt stand some death?ā well, growing up with that kind of family probably desensitized him to some extend. we canāt forget that this boy died at 18, he was barely a child when he joined the death eaters and he didnāt become active until 17.
regulus definitely wasnāt defying everyone when he joined the death eaters, but i like seeing it this way:
regulus was getting into so much danger by joining the dark lord, there would be probably people around him who were worried about him, he may have ignored them.
but there was one who tried harder than anyone. his brother. i will fight whoever i have to fight, but i wonāt believe that sirius let his little brother alone for a second while he could still look out for him. i wonāt believe he didnāt beg for reg to come with him, and i wonāt believe that even when he was disowned he didnāt ask for reg to not join the death eaters.
and, definitely, i wonāt believe that regulus didnāt care about sirius. everyone may had told regulus to join the death eaters, but the one regulus cared the most was telling him not to join them.
so, of course, he joined them.
And I left the door open to the dark
I said, "Come in, come in, whatever you are"
But it didn't want me yet
he joins at 16, quite a young age, yet nothing happens yet, heās not old enough after all
maybe he hanged around the future death eaters gang, and maybe he cursed some muggleborns, but he wasnāt active, all that once had screamed danger looked now stupid, after all, what had changed?
heās still far way from the reality of the situation, the dark didnāt want him yet
Then like a babe in a crib
After some big hand turns out the light
And I opened my arms wide to the dark
I said, "Take it all, whatever you want"
a babe in a crib is such a painful metaphor
babyās are supposed to be comfortable in a crib, happy,safe
when regulus had grown comfortable in that situation, he faced the reality, the violence, the death
his first reaction was probably to keep his posture and try to follow the others ātake it, whatever you wantā after all, regulus was active for a year, yet when he disappeared he had made enough of a reputation himself that people believed he was killed by voldemort. this boy was probably a menace.
I didn't know that I was young
I didn't know what it would take
I didn't know what it would take
this is the most painful part for me
āi didnāt know i was youngā
sometimes we like to think weāre so mature and so old only to find out years later we were only kids. i think of sixteen-year-old me and i canāt help but smile at the fact that i believed i was practically an adult, because i was a teenager and so young.
my memories are sweeter than regulusā, for sure, as he had joined a terrorist group, and he had probably sacrificed so much of his integrity in order to fit in.
the fact that āi didnāt know what it would takeā repeats twice makes me think thatās the breaking point of the protagonist, and regulus breaking point was voldemort hurting kreacher. for me, regulus probably had suspect about the horrocrux for a while until that confirms it
in that moment he makes the decision to end it all, and to redeem in his own twisted way
āSometimes I think I am freeā
the desire to redeem himself, the hope thereās something else for him, that he can do something better with his life
āUntil I find I'm back in line againā
life isnāt a fairytale, regulusā redemption stays between him and kreacher and his hopes evaporates as heās drowned by inferis. heās back in line, as he will be forever remembered as regulus black, the death eater.
or, well, kreacher doesnāt die there, and he lives long enough to clean regulusā name
āFight! Fight! Fight for my master, defender of house-elves! Fight the Dark Lord, in the name of brave Regulus! Fight!ā
________________________________________________
itās interesting to say that before weāve talked about the āAfter some big hand turns out the lightā part, and it can be interpreted both as the reality of what joining the dark lord meant and being dragged by the inferis.
well HI AGAIN!!
iāve been missing for a while, i know, but right now iām about to face one of my countryās most difficult exams and iām in the excellency program, so i have little to no time left
i love regulus so much and i need more morally grey regulus fics, drop some recs if you know any please
friendly reminder that being a regulus stan ā being a snape stan
regulus died at 18 fighting against everything he knew
snape lived to his thirties and spent his adulthood bullying children (among other things)
to quote sirius, āmy idiot brother, soft enough to believe them⦠thatās him.ā we know sirius, and he wouldnāt have talked like that if regulus had been some git like snape or avery
Hey op are we cherry picking or just spewing stupid stuff?
Regulus defected because his house elf was harmed by Voldemort. Snape defected because Lily's life was threatened.
Regulus died whilst defecting and most likely still held onto pureblood beliefs and just didn't agree with how Voldemort was going about things. Snape died while believing in the cause of the Order and during his last moment made sure that someone else [Harry] actually had the information needed to end the war.
Regulus may have been "idiot" and "soft" but he still believed in blood supremacy up until the moment he died. Snape did not.
You can't cherry pick when spewing stuff like this. Snape wasn't just a teacher who lived to his 30s bullying students. Snape defected because a friend he hadn't spoken to in roughly 5 years was in danger. He then spent the REST OF HIS LIFE trying to undo his wrongs.
So you're right you can't compare them, Snape is so much better despite his shitty faults and flaws.
First of all, my English is not good, so I apologize for any errors
1) Regulus died fighting against everything he knew. That's all Iāve said and itās objectively true.
We donāt know how regulus though, but we know he came from an abusive household. Did he believe in those ideals? Yeah, likely. Did he have another option? He didn't have a safe space like Sirius or good influences in his life. Pretty much a lost cause.
We don't know if he decided to betray Voldemort only because of his elf or if it was also the fact that he had made Horrocruxes. (Even though I think it would be kinda weird if he decided to face that death only because an elf, so probably the discovery of the Horcruxes had something to do)
But, even if he decided to leave Kreacher behind knowing that the elf would be alone in that house with his parents only because of that revenge (again, kinda stupid but anyway) he still died fighting against everything he knew/believed in.
There's a crucial part in Siriusā words about him: āFrom what I found out after he died, he got in so far, then panicked about what he was being asked to do and tried to back out.ā
Tried to back out? How did he know? As far as we know, the blacks knew about Regulus' death (they both have wrong versions) the only thing they have correct is the fact that Regulus died fighting against Voldemort. There's this post at r/Harry Potter that explains this better than me:
āWas it just a random assumption that Sirius made? āWell our guys didn't do it, so it was probably Voldemort, that's what happens when you become a Death Eater, broā? Although I could see Sirius thinking along those lines, he did say āfrom what I found outā and you don't find out your own assumptions, really. So who did he find this out from?ā
What I want to say, is that Sirius came to the conclusion Regulus wanted out, and it's weird, because if he had been a mad blood-supremacist death eater like his family that wouldn't have been a conclusion Sirius would have arrived at.
And, again, he was a child. āHe was 18, that's an adultā, yeah, no.
2) Snape defected because a friend he hadn't spoken to in roughly 5 years was in danger.
First of all, Lily and Snape weren't friends.
Second of all, y'all realize the only thing that made Snape change sides was a woman he was obsessed with, right?
At that moment he realized Lily was in danger he changed sides only to protect her. She was married and had a child, yet everything he cared about was her. (which, btw, only proves that he didn't care for her, only for his own happiness)
If Lily Evans hadn't been in danger, Snape would be just another name in the book like Avery, Mucilber, or Avery. So, yeah, not sure yall want to defend him that way.
Now, let's compare them. They both came from abusive households, even though we don't know much about them. We know that Snape wasn't beaten into blood-supremacist ideas, and Regulus probably was (am I saying that Regulus didn't believe in them but he was forced into believing? No, I'm just saying that he didn't know better because of his upbringing)
Regulus betrayed Voldemort at 18 when someone very close to him was damaged by Voldemort, and so did Snape later (but, again, Regulusā death was a sacrifice, snapeās betrayal was not. And his death was a consequence of Voldemortās madness btw)
So yeah, Was Regulus good? We don't know. Did he die believing in the cause? We don't know. We have little information about him. We only know what Sirius and Remus told Harry about him and they both thought Regulus had seen sense at the end of the day.
Was Snape good? Hell no. The crucial part of my hate for Severus Snape is the fact that he chose to bully little kids because... Idk, āmy actions led to the death of the woman I was obsessed with, and now y'all 11-year-olds will suffer because of itā
If that is āundoing his wrongs to youā well, there's nothing I can do.
First off your English is good (Even better then mine and it's my first language)
Second of, I'm going to make bullet points to address things I want to talk about or things I disagree with. A lot of the things you said about Regulus in the beginning is just questioning things from the books or your own ideas, I'm not going to argue with those.
First of all Snape and Lily weren't friends
They were friends at some point in time, hence why I called Lily his friend, because she was.
The only thing that made Snape change sides was a woman he was obsessed with
Lily was the catalyst to his change I agree, but Snape was never obsessed with Lily. Obsessive behavior is very hard to hide. If Snape was obsessed with Lily he hid it from the two best legilimens (Not including Queenie from the fantastic beasts franchise) as well as everyone around him. That's not possible with an obsession.
.... yet everything he cared about was her
I don't know about you, but I'd only care about a past friend rather then my childhood tormentor and a child I've never met (that may haven't been born at the time)
If Lily Evans hadn't been in danger...
If if if, you can't argue with ifs. I can do the same. If Snape hadn't been abused, if Snape hadn't been bullied. Doesn't prove anything op.
Now let's compare them
Don't compare people's traumas, trauma is different for everyone and affects everyone differently depending on life situations.
They both came from abusive households, even though don't know much about them
Already wrong. Based on canon evidence from the books we know the Black's were at least verbally abusive towards their kids, or at least Sirius. Snape's father was physically abusive and fought with Eileen [his mum]. Already big differences in the abuse.
We know that Snape wasn't beaten into blood supremacy believes, and Regulus probably was
No canonical evidence of Regulus being physically abused (no evidence at all for him, just Sirius). But just because it wasn't beaten into Snape doesn't mean he wasn't taught it from his mother, who was a pureblood witch.
.... Snape's betrayal was not
I'd disagree with that, Snape's betrayal and defection and turn spy for Dumbledore menat that every single time he walked back to Voldemort to spy on him, he could have been found out and killed, most likely tortured as well. Snape then sacrificed the rest of his life to spy for Dumbledore. From 20/21 years of age until 38. That's 17/18 years, almost half his life, that he gave to the Order. He sacrificed as much as Regulus did in that single second of his death. On top of that while Snape was dying he used his last moments to give Harry the information he needed to defeat Voldemort.
Was Snape good? Hell no.
Snape was good. Good ā nice. Snape was a good person, he was just an asshole.
The crucial part of my hate ... He chose to bully little kids
Totally valid, you can hate Snape for things he has done in canon, just don't hate him because you think he'd have done this or you think he did that. Hate him for the stuff he's actually done, that you know he's done.
Idk "my actions lead to the death of the woman I was obsessed with, and now y'all 11 year olds have to suffer because of it"
Again, no. I already debunked the obsession part. Snape bullying children is a classic example of the abused/bullied becomes the abuser/bully. Doesn't excuse nor justify what he's done but that's the reason, if you were looking for one.
"undoing his wrongs"
I mean technically yeah, however in Snape's situation he couldn't undo his wrong but rather fix it and change. Y'know?
iām not gonna answer because iām getting a lot of hate and honestly i just want to have to have fun in this fandom
have a nice day tho!
I did private message you about the anon hate you've been getting. I'm sorry that happened to you, tbh that's the first time I've debated/discussed with someone who then got anon hate. I'm sorry it happened and if any of my followers did this then ya'll need to fucking grow up.
Have a good day/afternoon/night!
Itās really disappointing to hear that the op got hate from anons. I get that people feel very passionately about this, as I do myself. It is upsetting to read anti stuff about a character one relates to on a personal level, but please do not do not lash out needlessly.
Iām looking at both sides of the fandom here š As an older fan and literally mother Iām giving haters a Molly Weasley death stare š
Re the op, Iām not going to go too much into the individual points, other than to say that it is an unfair comparison.
As @maruke2003 mentioned trauma effects different people in different ways. Plus aside from unspecified abuse Snape and regulus had very different life experiences.
On top of that we know so little about Regulus how can anyone possibly even attempt to make a comparison between these characters? Even Snapeās motivations are often ambiguous and open to interpretation and he is one of the most fleshed out characters in the entire series. One cannot say for certain what Regulusā motivations were on their own let alone claim that his motives were somehow better or more justified than any other character.
Itās very easy to criticise Snape for things like his treatment of his students (quite legitimately) but we have absolutely no idea how Regulus might have behaved in a similar situation. There is zero evidence that Regulus would have been any nicer to any of the students than Snape was.
@mitzisarchive maybe you could consider why you felt the need to tear down another character in order to make your own favourite (or a character you like) look better in comparison? If you genuinely want to debate the text/ character motivations etc try to keep your own analysis factual and objective (as far as possible we all have personal opinions). Or if you just want to rant about a character you donāt like thatās cool but try to keep it out of the main character tag.
šš»š¤š¤š»š¤
Hi! This is written in a rush as I don't have much time, hope it's clear enough tho (lmk if not and Iāll change it later)
Not gonna answer to the characters thing bc i donāt have the energy to think in english rn, if youāre willing to iām open to dialogue later when i have some free time
i just wanna say i didnāt notice the snape tag, and thanks for letting me know. i totally get why so many people were angry (genuinely i didnāt notice i tagged snape, iām so sorry, i tagged the bashing part so ppl who have that silenced didnāt see it)
that post was made in like 5 minutes while talking with some friends, the topic came out and we argued about that, genuinely never thought anyone would see that (as usually my only interactions are w/ my friends) and it was just some parts we had discussed earlier, my entire argument is obviously more than that, but iām not really comfortable talking about it publicly now as someone apparently has made their life mission to spawn
i, again, apologize for the tag thing. already changed it, thanks for letting me know
have a nice day, and if youād like me to explain that point (definitely longer than that post lol) lmk and iāll talk to you when iām free !!!
have a nice day/night/afternoon
Hello
I saw that you were getting nasty asks and Iām guessing theyāre from a Snape stan. As a Snape stan, I wanted to say sorry on their behalf. Thatās not tolerated over here in the snapedom. The majority of us are highly against that because we get them so much ourselves.
And if that anon sees this, you should be ashamed.
thanks anon, have a nice day/night!

But, even if he decided to leave Kreacher behind knowing that the elf would be alone in that house with his parents only because of that revenge (again, kinda stupid but anyway) he still died fighting against everything he knew/believed in.
There's a crucial part in Siriusā words about him: āFrom what I found out after he died, he got in so far, then panicked about what he was being asked to do and tried to back out.ā
Tried to back out? How did he know? As far as we know, the blacks knew about Regulus' death (they both have wrong versions) the only thing they have correct is the fact that Regulus died fighting against Voldemort. There's this post at r/Harry Potter that explains this better than me:
āWas it just a random assumption that Sirius made? āWell our guys didn't do it, so it was probably Voldemort, that's what happens when you become a Death Eater, broā? Although I could see Sirius thinking along those lines, he did say āfrom what I found outā and you don't find out your own assumptions, really. So who did he find this out from?ā
What I want to say, is that Sirius came to the conclusion Regulus wanted out, and it's weird, because if he had been a mad blood-supremacist death eater like his family that wouldn't have been a conclusion Sirius would have arrived at.
And, again, he was a child. āHe was 18, that's an adultā, yeah, no.
2) Snape defected because a friend he hadn't spoken to in roughly 5 years was in danger.
First of all, Lily and Snape weren't friends.
Second of all, y'all realize the only thing that made Snape change sides was a woman he was obsessed with, right?
At that moment he realized Lily was in danger he changed sides only to protect her. She was married and had a child, yet everything he cared about was her. (which, btw, only proves that he didn't care for her, only for his own happiness)
If Lily Evans hadn't been in danger, Snape would be just another name in the book like Avery, Mucilber, or Avery. So, yeah, not sure yall want to defend him that way.
Now, let's compare them. They both came from abusive households, even though we don't know much about them. We know that Snape wasn't beaten into blood-supremacist ideas, and Regulus probably was (am I saying that Regulus didn't believe in them but he was forced into believing? No, I'm just saying that he didn't know better because of his upbringing)
Regulus betrayed Voldemort at 18 when someone very close to him was damaged by Voldemort, and so did Snape later (but, again, Regulusā death was a sacrifice, snapeās betrayal was not. And his death was a consequence of Voldemortās madness btw)
So yeah, Was Regulus good? We don't know. Did he die believing in the cause? We don't know. We have little information about him. We only know what Sirius and Remus told Harry about him and they both thought Regulus had seen sense at the end of the day.
Was Snape good? Hell no. The crucial part of my hate for Severus Snape is the fact that he chose to bully little kids because... Idk, āmy actions led to the death of the woman I was obsessed with, and now y'all 11-year-olds will suffer because of itā
If that is āundoing his wrongs to youā well, there's nothing I can do.

friendly reminder that being a regulus stan ā being a snape stan
regulus died at 18 fighting against everything he knew
snape lived to his thirties and spent his adulthood bullying children (among other things)
to quote sirius, āmy idiot brother, soft enough to believe them⦠thatās him.ā we know sirius, and he wouldnāt have talked like that if regulus had been some git like snape or avery
i was thinking about the prank and why it hurts so bad
itās not only that remus trusted sirius with his life and sirius almost makes remusā worst nightmare real
but itās just like the night he was bitten
remus was bitten as a revenge
greyback turned him into a werewolf to get back at his father as a revenge
and, that night, remus almost kills snape because of a fucking revenge
sirius used remus to get revenge
that night, remus was betrayed in the worst way possible by the man he loved, because sirius weaponized remus just the way greyback did
not to mention that it was thanks to sirius that snape knew about the shack, and therefore a consequence of the prank is all that happens at the end of the PoA
Marauders as mitski songs
i stand by what i said in the previous one, and i think iām going to make this a series purely because i want to
this time, weāre here to analyze my own interpretation of remus lupin through mitskiās Dan The Dancer because lately iām seeing a weird characterization of remus and it makes me sad because i love him wholeheartedly
before we start: this is not a complete analysis, i just explore a facet of the character through a song and using exclusively my own interpretation of both the character and the song. thereās a previous part with sirius āwhy didnāt you stop meā black that you can find in my profile, go check it out if this interest you!
having said that, letās start with remus ādan the dancerā lupin
___________________________________________________
weāre in Puberty 2 and this album is all about pain, as mitski has us used to, but dan the dancer itās not about pain -not entirely at least- dan the dancer is about vulnerability
āDan had very long limbs // From leading day to day //Hanging onto a cliff // That stretched him everydayā
Dan, our protagonist, is every day hanging onto a cliff (you can choose what this mean, maybe poor mental health, maybe a bad situation) and this task has changed him to the point that his limbs have been elongated.
little 11 year old remus has already suffered enough when he arrives hogwarts, being a werewolf does not only condemn him to have to go through the full moons (not only alone, but chained as well) but to social ostracism. he knows that, he knows that even if he gets to graduate thereās no job waiting for him outside nor thereās no stable future for him. heās holding onto the cliff with so much force his limbs have elongated and his personality hardened.
remus is this little kid who laughs and hides under oversized jumpers and books, but time-to-time the mask falls and the truth is visible. remus dry sense of humor is nothing but a desperate way to cope with all thatās happening in his life. because thereās no situation too hard for god to solve, but remus is a kid and heās alone and he canāt do anything but hold onto te cliff, without any hope heāll ever reach the safety back at top. the cliff being, of course, the facade he has to put on every month when the moon approaches.
the elongated limbs are a good reference to remusā height , but so they are as a reference to his physical appearance. Danās limbs are longer due to him holding onto the edge , and remus entire body is covered in scars due to greybackās attack.
āAnd when she'd ask to hold hands // He would smile and // Let one of his hands go // His whole life in one hand // His whole lifeā
then someone enters his life, someone who asks Dan to hold hands. and Dan, who is holding onto the cliff, lets go of one of his hands so he can hold hands with her. the only thing keeping Dan from falling is one hand (his whole life in one hand) and even now, Dan is smiling.
sirius enters his life, as well as the other marauders, but iād like to focus on sirius because of the obvious romantic implications Dan and this āsheā have. Remus is holding onto this facade, saying he has some sort of muggle illness and keeping everyone away, but things donāt always go as planned and he grows fond of these boys, and so do they. maybe he lets one of his hands go the day they confessed knowing about his lycanthropy, or maybe itās later, when he allows them seeing him during the transformation as animagi. anyways, this is remus being vulnerable with them, this is remus finally opening himself to them.
āAnd when he'd say goodnight and // Leave her doorstep // He'd use his last strength // To wave backā
āOnce back in his room // He'd return his waving hand // Back to its cliffā
yet, even if remus opened to them, heās still holding onto the cliff, because heās keeping his mask on when heās facing everyone else. the reason why is obvious, but it doesnāt make it any easier. that āheād use his last strength to wave backā hits so hard because opening isnāt easy for remus, because even though he trusts them with his life, being vulnerable is so difficult.
āhe liked her more than life itselfā
ok, iām the #1 wolfstar stan, and this is remus about sirius completely.
sirius is this person remus is always letting his hand go for, heās this person who he will always wave back even when holding himself onto a cliff.
sirius is this person remus opens up entirely, who he trusts and shares his dreams and his fears. definitely, sirius is the person remus likes more than life itself.
and thatās why the prank hurts so bad.
ā'Cause Dan had never danced outside of his room // When no one was home and he would start to hear the door // So when he moved with you //And felt his body let goā
āOf course you couldn't know // It was you and you alone // That he had shown his bedroom dancer to (x5) //And he would never tell you that it was his first timeā
this is the part in which i kinda disagree (can you disagree with a song tho?), iām okay with the idea that remus only truly opened himself to sirius (maybe you want to consider Grant in this, but even if i loved atyd i wonāt use it as canon) but not with the āyou couldnāt know it was you and you aloneā because even if we justify it with sirius attachment and self-esteem issues, i refuse to think that sirius didnāt know how special he was to remus, because he knew
he knew because remus was just the same for sirius.
i love them so much omg
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
remus lupin and his issues, am i right?
i really like remus, even though iām kinda uncomfortable with the new characterization? the casanova of the gryffindor tower????
i just feel like theyāre sexualizing every character a bit too much, yāknow
uh, idk, hope you liked it!
due to popular demand (no one asked, i just wanted to do this) hereās a maraudersā character study based on mitski songs. keep in mind that most mitski songs have some romantic meaning, but as an aro i donāt usually see things that way, so i wonāt be using that interpretation.
as a former sirius kinnie i had to start with my starboy.
so hereās āSirius āWhy didnāt you stop meā Blackā
why didnāt you stop me is special because every lyric hits insanely hard, but the thing that makes me associate it with sirius is the immensely grief the song displays
something bad has happened, something that the protagonist of the song initiated, and in consequence theyāve ended the relationship with a close one. the protagonist is heartbroken, because even if they ended it, they thought the other part would go after them.
a common mistake i see when people talk about sirius is not acknowledging his family. itās often a big topic until he runs away and then itās all good? now, this is my own interpretation, but having an abusive family can fuck you up in tons of ways, and i personally headcanon sirius having a twisted sense of love
look, he loves (loved) regulus, heās his little brother and he cares (cared) about him, and thatās the only kind of true love heās ever know. but his parents? walburga and orion fight CONSTANTLY. theyāre always fighting about every little thing, and the only time sirius sees them together theyāre arguing. that leads to a distorted sense of romantic love in which he thinks love is constant arguments.
of course he goes to hogwarts and learns he isnāt in a normal family, and so he learns about other kinds of love: he learns about friendship, and james potter teaches him about stable relationships, but that aināt enough. yāall can choose if you want to believe he ever dated marlene in their straight era, (as someone who headcannons sirius as a demi person, i choose not to) but if he did, it would be an unstable relationship in which heās constantly seeking conflict, so it ends because marlene is both a lesbian and over that shit.
then remus happens, and this time sirius falls hard. heās head over heels for moony, so he shows it the only way heās ever known and theyāre always fighting, not in good ways tho. itās not necessary that sirius actually puts a stop to their relationship in order to relate him to the song, but the feeling is there, sirius is always creating conflict and waiting for remus to chase him.
sirius has been neglected his whole life by his parents, so he thrives on the attention, he needs the chase in order to feel loved because thatās all he knows.
then the prank happens
as i personally headcanon sirius with a bipolar disorder, and the prank as a result of a manic episode, and after he comes back for it, it happens āwhy wonāt you chase after meā. of course he understands why he doesnāt want to be near him, but at the same time he knows that if he was in remusā position he would go after him. so why wonāt he? maybe he never loved him after all?
of course, this is just a representation of siriusā fucked up concept of love, which of course changes when he and remus finally end together so Sirius has to learn about healthy romantic relationships.
or, well, this is be the cowboy, thereās always more angst
the most gut-wrenching, poetic and beautiful lines I have read have mostly come from fan fiction
āFuck fate, fuck prophecies, let someone else handle it. Let someone else save the day. You justā¦go away somewhere okay? Go live your beautiful life. Fade into obscurity, leave the heroics to people who have less to offer the world. Donāt go to Troy.ā
