as an f romancer myself i will not allow you to go hungry anon 🤲
*kicks down door* Listen I’ve had too much coffee and I’m about to make it everyone’s problem.
I want to talk about F for a minute because I just love them okay. What an absolute powerhouse of a partner. I love all of UB, of course, but F has been the detective’s biggest fan from day one and proves that with like every single turn of the page. F is so honest and upfront and it’s so refreshing in light of all the feelings and secrets the rest are holding on to… F just lays it out on the table. They don’t want to talk about their past any more than the others but they want the detective to know regardless because they think they should. F says it best in N’s route “You’re going to have to let them know you / You’re going to have to let them know” and they do that in their own route and gosh what an absolute King/Queen for that. There’s no smoke and mirrors with F, there’s just F and they hope you’ll have them. What you see is what you get and they don’t want to make the detective wait to know them. They’re so sure that the detective is it for them that they don’t have any desire to hide anything that can paint them in a less than perfect light. They want the detective to choose them even with their flaws.
Also they radiate happiness with the detective, even outside of the romance, and it’s just so unapologetic. I think all the romances fall under the “Ah, there you are” troupe but F’s especially. Also truly the only route where the detective is seen as an actual equal at the very least, if not put on a pedestal. And that’s not to say they don’t worry, obviously they do, but they’re more often than not assured things will be okay because it’s the detective doing it. Even if the detective exposes what they are to Tina/Verda the reaction from F is one of relief that that’s all the detective was worried about telling them and not something else. They respect and trust the detective’s choice in doing that not just because the detective should have more than UB but also because it was detective who made that call. And that’s how they go about like every call the detective makes. F is more confident in the detective than F is even in themself. The detective never has to question if F is in their corner as F is constantly reassuring and proving that they are. Another thing I really love that sets them apart is they never *presume* to know better or know more than the detective and that’s so nice. They never tell the detective what to do, merely ask or suggest.
Literally the embodiment of taking the good with the bad but never wondering if that person truly loves you at the end of the day. You know they do.

Sirius: wow I just realised something, I had a bad childhood
Remus: yeah we know.
Sirius: what do you mean you know?!
James: look at you
Sirius: what do you mean look at me?!
Peter: look at how you stand, people who have good childhoods don’t stand like that.
james: anything can be a UFO if you have bad vision and worse observational skills!
the craziest thing about being alive is that you have to live with other people’s interpretations of you
[transcript: 1. “the world begins at the kitchen table. no matter what, we must eat to live.”
2. “you have only to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. tell me about despair, your, and i will tell you mine. meanwhile the world goes on.”
3. “…and in spite of everything, tenderness there must be….”
4. “say that it is simply a wish to waste time forever, lingering with the friends you’ve gathered together, eyes brimming with the moment that is now.”
5. “so desire, like the dishes, could also get done.” /end transcript]

me, beginning of 9th grade, thinking I’d do a lot of things in highschool, believing the highschool years could be the best ones of my life (as plenty of adults always said)
vs me now, starting my last year. covid hit right in the middle of my 9th grade, making me feel as if my life stopped and i’m still just starting highschool, but all I really wanna do is leave (because these aren’t the best years of my life, and even if they are, it’s not because of highschool👍🏻)
James, reluctantly: I'm sad
Reg: I'm sorry, I'm here for you if you need anything
James: ...you're not going to tell me to cheer up? Everyone always tells me to cheer up
Reg: I still like you when you're sad, cheri
this is so important to me bc i feel like regulus would have been the only person in james’s life who would tell him that it’s okay not to be happy all the time. like all his other friends (bless them, but it’s true) kind of need james to be his bubbly, comforting self 24/7 and so james has been living with this pressure to be that, constantly. & when reg becomes closer with him he’s the only one who realizes that james isn’t just like that all the time, he’s forcing himself to be.
i feel like this is the genuine reason, beneath everything, that jegulus works so well. because regulus loves ALL of james, not just his happy parts, and he’s the first person that james feels like he can be sad around. and, on the other side, james is the first person who regulus can let his barriers down around and show emotion around (good or bad).
this is why i love jegulus so much! it isn't as simple as sunshine x grumpy, it's grumpy teaches sunshine that it's alright for the skies to be grey sometimes, and sunshine teaches grumpy that basking in the sun isn't something to be afraid of, and neither is hoping for sunnier days when things are overcast
