Hello hey, I was wondering why you don't like "canon" Regulus. I always wanted ask someone who doesn't like him but most of them are pretty hostile and you seem like a person with sense.
I don't actually like fanon Regulus because he's just canon Sirius with Slytherin AU.
The first time I have read the books I just thought "poor child" about him and nothing else. And when you read into it more *from his three lines* he doesn't seem that bad, just a complex morally gray character. Like James and Sirius themselves, just backwards. I want to know your perspective.
I’ll be so honest here, but know I mean all of this with respect!
Regulus believed everything Walburga and Orion told him with no hesitation. He willingly joined the Death Eaters when he was 16 and fully agreed with all of their ideals. Even his parents didn’t fully agree with joining the Death Eaters. He sacrificed himself in the end and changed his mind just before he died, but he didn’t actually help at all. It would’ve been easier for Harry if he’d just left to horcrux. He was mean to Sirius for no reason and was a supremacist. Yes, he died young. Yes, he ended trying to do the right thing. Yes, he was a kid. That doesn’t change the fact that he was an objectively bad person for most of his life.
When Sirius called him “soft” in OOTP, it wasn’t because he was a sweet little boy, it’s because he was a coward who believed everything he was fed. He had no qualms with hurting people and was literally a prick. People have a weird perception of him because of fannon, but he was shit in cannon.
I don’t like Slytherin-Sirius-fannon Regulus, but I do like flawed-character-with-good-development-who-ends-up-a-good-person-fannon Regulus (should’ve specified that earlier lol). I have a billion mixed feelings about cannon Regulus. He’s a bad person, but he’s also a victim, but I can’t stand by what he did when he had Sirius in the same house, who was, undoubtably (based on everything we know about him), trying to help him onto the right path.
Anyways, no hate if you like cannon Regulus, I just don’t get it. He fascinates me and, if he were real, I’d love to study him, which is the most I can really say. I imagine that the second version of fannon Regulus is the one most people like (and some assume is cannon Regulus).
Will do a more detailed reblog when am not dying of sleep deprivation thank you :)
harry is sort of the sirius of the golden era though isn’t he. in my head at least. like his home life is shitty, he’s loyal to a fault, he gets basically taken in by his best mate’s parents but does go his own way. he inherits a good amount of gold from his decent family members (his parents and sirius). is spat on by society & the government over something that isn’t even his fault. bit of a bitch. a cheeky little fucker. has light eyes and dark hair. would probably kill for his codependent buds if absolutely necessary. probably also has the gal (and self-imposed guilt) to stay in azkaban for 12 years before escaping on willpower alone.
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.
You absolutely may offer that thank you
What if trophy-husband, stay-at-home-dad, wife-guy James and famous-chemist, working-mom, breadwinner Lily?
Hey so only one of these people actually did this in canon and it was his main thing. Like. He has a whole famous line based on it. This is one of those questions where there is a right answer. And that answer is the guy who actually did it.
I don’t gaf who you ship Sirius with as long as they are literally willing to get on their knees and beg for his attention. That’s all. He should always be worshiped by his partners because he’s literally the best and they all know it. Fuck you. Actually you know what he doesn’t have to pick all of your ships are real they’re just his harem
Yes please :)
It’s a bit late now but I kinda wanna write wolfstar’s first christmas together but it’s also when Remus’ loses his virginity and discovers he can cum a ridiculous amount of times on Sirius’ dick (also experiencing Sirius eating him out for the first time oof)
Padfoot curled around Remus while he reads, head in his lap, keeping him nice and toasty, and snarling at the kids who tried to call him “Loony Lupin” or anything else. Padfoot lying across James’ legs, on his back, while he does homework, barking to startle people for fun when they walk by. Padfoot sitting on Effie’s feet, warming them up while she knits, napping, listening to music on the record player. Padfoot balled up next to Monty on the couch, listening to him read the papers aloud and then work on his crosswords. Padfoot lying in bed next to Peter, demanding scratches while he works on homework, nuzzling him lightly whenever he seems stressed. Just… Padfoot being an overprotective, massive dog that likes to take care of his humans and be a cutie (he’s the size of a black bear, most people actually think he’s terrifying).
i have always been a Romulus Lupin truther!! I'm like you where I don't really like ocs if they impact the main plot but i make this once exception. Idk if it's my major bias towards Remus but he just doesn't seem like an only child to me and I think Hope and Lyall would've had more kids if Greyback never happened
I've seen a few hcs once that Romulus did exist but Remus killed him during a full moon before he joined Hogwarts so he never talks about him. Personally I go completely off of cannon in this instant and hc him to be six years older then Remus (im just a sucker for siblings) and he dies with Hope during the first war
I love your post on the possibilities of him sm, everything you said makes such perfect sense and it's just so heartbreaking to think of Remus having a twin brother who gets to be all the things he can't
You’re so real for the Romulus being older than Remus thing! Remus gives off such younger sibling vibes. On the topic of that, our Moony is definitely the younger twin. He’s definitely not older. They would definitely have had siblings if Greyback didn’t get involved, I think.
That headcanon that Remus killed him is wild. That would never happen. Hope and Lyall were so careful about it that’s it’s just kind of ludicrous. Him dying with Hope in the war definitely sounds much more plausible than a lot of the other Remus-has-a-brother things I’ve seen around.
I’m a sucker for angst, lol. I feel like they would both have a long few years of deep resentment, probably spurred on by going to Hogwarts and being treated the same by staff, then coming back home to the unbalanced treatment. They get along really well pre-Hogwarts, but things change and they grow more and more distant.
They end up working it out after Regulus dies, because it makes Remus realize that the possibility of losing a family member is very, very real, and he doesn’t want to end up like Sirius and his brother. Then they meet up, talk it through, and Romulus and Hope die like a year later. That got way darker than intended but y’know.
On more kids if Greyback didn’t happen, though: I think that Hope and Lyall were not only too busy with Remus, but also afraid of Greyback coming back for more. Although, Remus’ condition would take up a lot of time. I do think they’d have younger cousins, though (I have Remus’ whole family tree planned out in my head).
Hi I’m very gay
Can you please reblog if your blog is a safe place for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, asexual, aromantic, pansexual, non binary, demisexual or any other kind of queer or questioning people? Because mine is.
Sirius doesn’t like the closet in their dorm. Why is that?
“It starts when Sirius trips.
He’s alone in the dorm— James and Peter are serving a detention, as they’re the only ones that got caught for their most recent prank and Remus is in the library, studying with Lily. He’s pretty tired, as well; walking about the dorm, fresh out of the shower, not paying full attention to his surroundings.”
