It Is My Personal Belief That Regulus Black Would’ve Listened To Rage Rap.

“For the first time in his life, he understood what muggles meant when they referred to magic. That was what Regulus was on his broom, pure magic.”

Thank you. This line is EVERYTHING

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 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Tw: murder (but in a fun way)

Ok, if I’m being fr with you guys, I gotta tell you that I would love to read Lily murdering Regulus so she could be with James.

I’ve seen Regulus kill Lily, I’ve seen Barty kill Regulus,

I need this. And I don’t even like Jily.

I think we can all agree it’s time for some psychopath Lily.

This one is really weird. It’s kinda sad but not really, you’ll know what I mean if you read it. I’m just tryna help people out of their choices depression because everyone being sad on the main is not doing it for me.

I feel like if Regulus would run away he wouldn’t go to the Potters. He’s way too smart to run away to the most obvious place he would go. No, that bitch is running away never to be seen again, Cullen style.

He would make sure to not leave a trace of himself. Pack up everything in his room and burn the things he’s not gonna take with him. It would look as if it’s just another guest room. He wouldn’t burn his face off the tapestry, he would spell it so he disappeared completely.

He wouldn’t stay at Hogwarts, he wouldn’t stay in the country. He would go to France or Russia or even America and forge a few signatures to make it look like they forgot about a transfer student. Sirius could afford to be so close to the Black Family because he has the protection of the Potters, Regulus can’t.

When Regulus runs, he makes it look like he never existed. So when his family finds out that he’s gone, they’re all gaslighted by the silence. They’re not crazy. There was another Black brother. He existed. Or was there? There’s no proof. And yes, the Black family is crazy, so who’s to say it’s not all in your head? Who in the Black family can say with full certainty that the boy who never spoke unless told to, the boy who stood in the shadows, the boy who only ever followed, actually existed?

Sirius knows Regulus was real. But sometimes, in the darkest hour of the night where it’s just him and his mind swirling in a pool of thought, he can’t help but wonder if the angel that cleaned his wounds was just a figment of his imagination.

Sirius only ever interacted with him when it was needed. So it made sense that he was there for the first eleven years of his life. But when he went to Hogwarts, he didn’t need a security blanket. He wrote letters but they were never answered. He didn’t need an imaginary friend, and so he was gone. And when that angel came to him, wanting to talk, wanting to not be ignored, Sirius turned away. He didn’t need help. He didn’t need comfort. In the daytime, away from home Regulus was just a reminder of that house, not an escape from it.

He tried to remember what he looks like but he doesn’t have pictures of him. The only memories he has of his little brother are blurred. He can’t seem to remember exactly where the freckles on his face landed, he couldn’t remember how tall he was, or the exact length of his hair, or what he looked like smiling.

Sirius is terrified. But those are only moments of doubt. Because James remembers him.

James remembers every detail of Regulus. Sirius decides not to question why James does, scared that it will only lead to more doubt. He just lets James tell him everything he remembers.

Regulus was very much real. He was alive. He was sad he had to go but knew he had to. And he lived a wonderful life.

I don’t want to be mean or step on anybody’s toes, but I feel like people have James Potter in a chokehold.

You can interpret James however you want but if people want to make him a real person than they can’t have him be perfect; I.e. never being rude or mean to people, never doing bad things with bad intentions, always having an open mind and always being accepting of things right away

Some people get really mad when ffs make James mean, or a bully, or not accepting of the people around him coming out to him(this one doesn’t happen that often but it’s fine) and it’s ok to get mad but it’s very strange to me.

For example, someone will say that James would be really hurt after all those years of Lily rejecting him and that causes self-esteem problems for him in the future.

Ok then, so he turns those problems in on himself, why can’t he turn those problems onto others like every other character? Why can’t he make fun of someone he doesn’t like for not having a girlfriend, why can’t he get mad or snippy with Lily about it when they’re dating instead of just forgiving her immediately?

When these stories do get told, people begin to say ‘he definitely wouldn’t say that! He knows how much that could hurt someone. He would never intentionally hurt someone unless it was for the greater good!’

Unless you think James Potter is God, then that is just not true. People do bad things sometimes, that’s how they learn to be better people. Just because someone has a sunny disposition doesn’t mean they can’t have bad or prejudiced thoughts. It doesn’t mean they wouldn’t take advantage of people or take out their anger on others.

Sirius, Remus, Regulus, Lily, etc. They all get to be mean, all except James Potter who is the same age as them, goes to the same school as them, and has more privilege than most of them. Why is he exempt?

If you want James to be real then you have to let him get mad, you have to let him make mistakes so that he can learn from them. You have to give him time to understand things he’s never seen or only heard bad things about. You have to let him have a full range of character and emotions.

Nobody is that perfect from the start.

If you don’t want these characters to feel real then that’s totally fine. Just don’t interfere with or critique others trying to do so.

I love James Potter as much as the next person, and I would love him even more if I got to see him grow into the man we picture him to be now.

Idk

I mean… homie he’s gotta know something. He’s not wearing a slytherin sweater during an interview next to LITERALLY ZENDAYA while she’s looking like THAT just for kicks. There’s no fuckin way

aRE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?!

people out here better not be telling me it’s “unrealistic” for james potter and regulus black to be romantically involved and then go and ship hermione with any overage man in the entire harry potter series

Hear me out, I know people hc James being tall, but Sirius and him give off such short king vibes together.

Like, people don’t really think of him as short because he’s BUILT, but the moment him and Sirius are together (which is always), it’s like he loses a couple inches.

He’s still taller than Lily and Regulus (cus I’m a slut for Jegulus and Jegulily🤪) , which makes them angry because it’s only like half an inch and James constantly reminds them of it.

Honestly, like I ship jegulus but I couldn’t care less if you don’t so I’m not gonna talk about that. But atyd is like canon to some people. Sirius and Remus obviously have a lot of trauma and that’s makes it hard for them to let people in, but they were best friends for a long time before they got together, and to the both of them, their friends meant everything. Their friends are quite literally the only thing they have. I feel like that just doesn’t show in atyd. Neither of them learn how to trust or communicate even tho that’s what they’ve been trying to do since they first met. All four of them are supposed to have this unbreakable bond, even if they fight, they will always be connected, so why does it feel like all s+r do is fight and like Peter was just waiting to become a death eater??

no cause why is marauders tiktok so defensive about atyd and jegulus like- sorry not everyone likes James being shipped with a fascist and a fic thats main couple appears toxic 💀
