Goodnight to everybody except people who think Regulus is better than Sirius (he literally made it harder to destroy Voldemort in the end)
No way in hell I just saw someone say Jily doesn’t make sense??? HELLO??? ITS THE BACKBONE OF THE ENTIRE SERIES?????
LITERALLY! Because at least a boggart can’t choose whether or not it’s dark, whereas someone else can.
James Potter would sooner start a family with a boggart than ever be romantically involved with someone who has even the remotest interest in the Dark Arts.
Me when I can’t get Jegulus/NobelFlower/PandaLily/MaryLily/Remadora off my fucking feed:
hello i am wondering if you are anti jegulus in the 'just not my thing' way or anti jegulus in the 'jegulus shippers should kill themselves way' because you have very good takes and i feel like we would get along well but i am also a jegulus shipper who has been called a nazi entirely for liking regulus multiple times and i don't want to risk it again :D
Holy shit what— people are like that? No, that’s not me. I don’t understand or like Jegulus, I never have, but I will never actively and directly hate on people who do (so long as it doesn’t get pushed on me, obviously, but if you’re going to ask this I doubt you will lol). I’m not the biggest Regulus fan, and I’ll probably post about disliking (CANNON) Regulus and not enjoying Jegulus, but if you’re alright with that I’m totally open to being friends with anyone. Alternative perspectives are nice to hear sometimes.
Long story short, I don’t care for Jegulus but I don’t think anyone who ships it is like. An awful person or anything.
Trans!Regulus makes makes sense to me for a few reasons, honestly.
For one, it explains why it took so long for Sirius to be disowned. We know that the House of Black had very old values, so I can picture them not being accepting of trans people and not wanting a “woman” to be in charge. We know they disowned easily— think about Alphard— but they didn’t get rid of Sirius until he ran away. I could picture them keeping Sirius around to try and have a viable heir.
For two, it would give motivation for Regulus to rethink things. In the end, he did betray Voldemort, but, before that, he was wholly devoted to the cause. Maybe the reason he rethought things is because he realized he didn’t fit the mold, causing him to ask questions, before he figured it out and backtracked.
For three, I just like trans characters. Fuck JKR, she deserves to be pissed off by us making characters trans. I’d make Regulus trans if only to make her upset.
Soooo tired of people talking about how Regulus was “going against his family” and “the scapegoat” and “an outcast of the Blacks” because like… he wasn’t. He did exactly what his family wanted at all times. He joined the Death Eaters completely willingly. He was a blood supremacist. He was a shit person. He was the favourite child.
Now, if you ARE looking for someone who actually spent their whole life going against the Blacks, was an outcast, and was the scapegoat, I would like to introduce you to Sirius Black. Or maybe you’re looking for Andromeda Tonks? Because you’re sure as hell not looking for Regulus Black. Bro had a damn shrine to Voldemort. And, sure, if you really want to argue that he changed at the end of his life, maybe he did, but that is not the same as being like Sirius or Andromeda.
And listen to me for this one, yeah? When Sirius called Regulus “soft” in OOTP, he did not mean that Regulus was a sweet, touchy, kind-hearted, loving little thing. He meant that Regulus was naïve, too trusting of their parents, and had no spine when it came to their family, thus becoming a prick. Regulus was not a cute little baby, he was an asshole.
I joined the Marauders fandom to obsess over the Marauders, not join the Death Eater sympathizers club.
(Mind you, I have absolutely made Regulus and the Pantheon end up being good people in some fics, so maybe I’m a bit hypocritical. This does not mean that in cannon they were anything other than pieces of shit. Let’s also note that having fun is okay, and you don’t need to always abide by the books. It just ticks me off when people manage to get the things we know about these characters so egregiously wrong that they claim that the cannon and fannon Pantheon are the same.)
HOW DO I GET JEGULUS OFF OF MY FEED? HOW? I’M HERE FOR WOLFSTAR AND SUNFLOWER AND DORLENE NOT JEGULUS PEASE HELP.
