I Wrote An Angsty Jegulus Story With Unrequited Love. That’s Literally All I Can Say About It. Read

Okay look I know what I posted two seconds ago was contributing to this but it still confuses me:

Why is it that Snape lovers trash Regulus and vice versa?

Like, Snape lovers use Regulus to justify Snape’s actions because he switched sides when Regulus never did.

But then Snape haters say that Regulus sacrificed his life to take down Voldemort and Snape was just saving his own ass.

Of course there are many more arguments, but I just feel like you can’t really use their characters against each other.

Personally, I do love people having debates about each characters morality, but some people take it way too far for it to be about made up characters in a kids book.

It’s just like, why Regulus Black, y’know?

Can someone write a jegulus summer camp au, please?

I literally don’t care what the dynamic or plot is I just really want it but don’t want to write it.

Like I just want summer, camp, truth or dare, cherry coke, bike trails, awkward teenager kinda vibez u know?

I’m not saying we need more james or lily slander.

All I’m saying is that we’re not using jegulus’ unique relationship with canon to its fullest potential.

Like why not have Lily be toxic sometimes? Why can’t we have more bestfriend’s brother -esque fics? Or maybe even have James be a douche and unfaithful?

We’re already so far away from canon, why don’t we just cut off ties with it every once in a while?

I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE

me trying to convince you to read "when you were mine" by battlehamster on ao3 and I'm only on chapter 10

- a scene in which regulus shouts via face time at james because he doesn't fucking know which roses to buy for his garden that regulus is fixing as his own + a random woman saying: aw, the married life, isn't it?

- james calling regulus Princess because he has his ankle injured so he has to carry him bridal style all around the house while regulus is just a gay mess

- the marauders being single parents and raising harry while being in college

- UNCLE WORMY

- UNCLE MOONY

- UNCLE PADFOOT

- UNCLE REGGIE (I hope it gets to the point I'm which is just "dad")

- regulus pretending he is james mistress in a very VERY exaggerated way bc he can't leave the house and the nurses are trying to get him into a fucking ambulance

- sassy bold regulus

- trans!peter

- Indian!james

- so yeah go read it

What did I do in my past life to deserve not having an enemy to fight with until we keep getting put together for things and see that while both of us have our flaws we actually are humans with emotions and suddenly we like spending time with each other but neither of us would admit to that and when we fight it’s explosive but we always make up and when one of us gets hurt the other goes still and quietly asks ‘who did this to you?’ and then beats the shit out of that person and don’t even get me started on the staring-

I knew I should have put a disclaimer first!!!!! I just thought people would realize this is my own characterization of Regulus and I probably shouldn’t have put Snape as the comparison but other death eaters in general. I’m so sorry if I made you mad I just fixed it now.

One small difference between Snape and Regulus is how they react to people wanting to join the death eaters.

A younger slytherin comes up to them and tells them they want to become a death eater too.

Snape is fully supportive. Tells them all about the glorious things the Dark Lord has done. Tells them they will have to work hard to gain such an honor and he will be waiting to see them at the next meeting.

Regulus tells them they are making a huge mistake. They will be used as a pawn in Voldemort’s game and, if not willing, forced to kill. He would say it isn’t worth your life.

He tells that kid every horrific thing he’s seen or heard about (he’s still in school so he hasn’t participated in it yet). Better to be scared than dead. He makes sure they don’t want to participate in the war at all.

They are both death eaters, they both support Voldemort and have seen the unspeakable things that have been done. But Regulus knows when he’s being manipulated, and he’ll be damned if he let someone be in the same position as him. It’s too late for him, he’s too deep in the war. He realizes it never mattered what they were fighting for, people are dying no matter what they believed in. He doesn’t want to contribute to that number more than he has to.

I need help finding a fic again because I think I’m going crazy

So basically Astoria and Draco are dating and Astoria wants to invite Harry for a threesome, and at first Draco is like ‘that’s kinda weird and I’m not gay’, but then he fucks Harry and all of a sudden he can’t stop. So from then on their sex stopped being about Astoria and started being about draco and Harry and Astoria starts to grow resentful of it. Harry and Draco end up together at the end.

I know Astoria and Harry were both in college and Draco was a little bit older than them but that’s pretty much all the detail I can muster.

I have tried so many different filters and none of them seem to be working so please if anybody knows hit my line!!!!!!

I fully believe the increase in serial killer and detective trying to find them jegulus AUs are a direct result of choices’ recent chapters which caused the sudden increase in canon compliant fics.

No I will not explain further, do with that information what you will.

How the marauders + reg and lily tied their shoes

James: tied them around his ankle. He also wore Velcro shoes because he thought they were more fun. (He also had rollerblades and Mary taught him to skate)

Sirius: didn’t tie them. Ever. Like a fucking psychopath. He would make a show of not doing it whenever someone told him he should tie them. He also had light up shoes and heelys. (Imagine almost getting decked in the hallways because some dumbass didn’t know how heelys work.)

Remus: tied them normally. He’s not about to lose the circulation to his foot or eat shit because he couldn’t tie his shoes properly. They’re just shoes to him (but he also definitely wrote book quotes or song lyrics on the sides)

Peter: tied them with a bow tie knot cause that’s how he learned it and just never broke the habit. He would always change the shoelace color to whatever he was feeling that day. (They were always super funky)

Regulus: had the slip on fancy shoes. Never learned how to tie laces. (Was really insecure about it). Sirius also gave him a pair of stilettos as a joke gift and Reg set them on fire.

Lily: tied them normally. Was really smug whenever pure bloods didn’t know how to. Wore a bunch of sandals and flip flops.

If you think of Regulus like that then that’s fine. No one is telling you you can’t. Some people just think of Regulus differently because we have so little to work with that we can interpret them in different ways.

I personally think that Regulus was emotionally manipulated and abused by his parents, some people think he was put on a pedestal by his parents.

That’s what’s so fun about these characters: there isn’t really a right or wrong. Don’t get mad at people who want to make Regulus more than a plot device, I assure you we can all exist peacefully with different opinions.

Honestly, the real reason why I love/really like Regulus Black is because I WANT him to be this super badass, dark, snarky, sexy, mysterious asshole who doesn’t give a fuck about anyone. Sure, I’ll hate him as a person but I’ll love him as a character. I usually love the villains way more than the heroes, like, I find myself wanting grey characters to be more evil.

Sadly, his fans have made it REALLY hard for me to like him, they turn him into this poor, abused sweetheart who was secretly in love with James and was blackmailed into being a death eater and was an angel who did nothing wrong, like, NO! Stop ruining it for me, when I read about him and he appeared for, like, 10 seconds or something, I thought his character had potential, specifically in fanfics, but his fans make me wanna scratch my eyes out. Like, stop making him a poor little white boy, make dark headcanons about him, make him more complicated and interesting. His fans are just extremely annoying, and it REALLY pisses me off when they say “Regulus Black is the TRUE Slytherin hero”. Like... wtf?? What Regulus did was extremely heroic and god bless him for doing that, but... y’all gotta stop comparing the most complicated Harry Potter character ever to a plot device.

Wait they’re right! Remember when Regulus Black defected Lord Voldemort and fought against him for years and was a spy for nearly two decades and sacrificed his entire life in the process and truly believed in the Order’s cause and saved the entire Wizarding World?

Me neither, that was Severus Snape. Read the fucking books.

It annoys me how they compare the most beautifully-written character ever to a fucking cardboard cutout 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️
