Associating Kate Bush’s Army Dreamers with the Black brothers fills me with a sort of pain I can’t even describe.
I’ve always imagined it in Sirius’ perspective, because despite the fact they both had parents we know deep down they are not the ones who raised the two. Sirius has been a father figure to Regulus since he could remember, and Sirius was most likely taken care of by a house elf or nanny.
Regulus turning to the Dark Lord didn’t change that, he would always be Sirius’ little brother- the one he tried to pull away with him when he realised how bad his parents views actually were. When he suspected Regulus of being a spy for The Order.
His death broke a part of Sirius irreparably, when he heard the news he probably couldn’t believe it. Even if Dorcas was likely the one who told him. No one would want to believe their little brother, the boy they raised, is gone.
Only because he got Involved with a war neither of them wanted to be a part of, and not to mention dead because of it. It was Regulus’ dream to be a part of The Order, Dumbleldore’s army. He didn’t want to be defined by bigotry anymore.
Regulus was an Army Dreamer, and if Sirius could turn back time he’d crush that dream beneath his feet and take them away from it all. Regulus didn’t make it to his 20’s. His life was wasted for the ‘greater good’. They were child soldiers, not because either wanted to fight.
They were soldiers because they had no other people to give their lives to.

🎶Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate mammy's hero
Mourning in the aerodrome
The weather warmer, he is colder
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier🎶
🎶But he didn't have the money for a guitar
(What could he do?)
(Should have been a politician)
But he never had a proper education
(What could he do?)
(Should have been a father)
But he never even made it to his twenties
What a waste
Army dreamers
Oh, what a waste of
Army (army) dreamers (dreamers)🎶

I found this audio and it felt too fitting not to use for them, it is just a sketch rn, but you get the idea
I think you can tell which ones I did first while I wasn't yet tired of drawing
May I request military themed stuff…if that’s okay with you
Yesyes!!! So unfortunately I couldn't find much... BUT!! I did my bestest and here's what I came up with:

I made the Army Dreamers blinkies, those are f2u with credit (got the idea from one of the posts I linked above :3). I also made the camo stamp but no credit required for that one !!
