scattered ‘cross my family line, i’m so good at telling lies

they both became so good at hiding their emotions from their parents and others, it just manifested in a different way for each of them. sirius became more brash and outspoken, playing himself off as a boisterous person who was always happy and making jokes, but was hurting. regulus became closed off and sequestered himself to the ideals and influences of those around him, but in the end still fooled those around him because he became so good at lying.

god, I have my father's eyes, but my sister's when I cry

this but esp w/ trans reg hc. sirius never really getting a chance to know regulus. both of them hating what they see in the mirror because as much as they try to remove themselves from their family they share physical similarities that aren’t easily changed. sirius can grow his hair, but he’ll always have his fathers eyes. regulus can try to adjust his mannerisms, but he’ll always have his mothers high cheekbones. when they see themselves in the mirror on a particularly bad day it’s all they can see and it just makes everything worse.

i was a kid but i wasn’t clueless, someone who loves you wouldn’t do this

self-explanatory. they were only kids when they were being put through literal hell, having unforgivables used against them and food withheld when they were less than perfect. it’s so normalized for them that when they get to school and talk about it like it’s the most normal thing in the world, everyone else is like “what the fuck?” and they’re like. oh. wait. this isn’t normal.

i can’t forget i can’t forgive, ‘cause now i’m scared that everyone i love will leave me

sirius found that love and security in remus as a lover and james as a brother, but regulus never didn’t have that security after sirius left.

might share a face and share a last name, but we are not the same

I made carrd am I cool now
