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 🤦♀️🤦♀️
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?
And you can’t tell me James wont give the ‘epic highs and lows of high school football’ speech to Remus’ ‘I had to sell drugs for my nana’ speech.
someone compared regulus to jughead and they were 100% right but dying at the thought of regulus giving Sirius the “I’m weird, I’m a weirdo” speech
Jegulus song fic: Cornerstone by Arctic Monkeys
James using Reg because he looks like Sirius
Regulus knowing that he probably shouldn’t let James call him Sirius but he really doesn’t care
At the end of the day Reg gets James even if it’s just sex, James gets the closest thing to Sirius, and Sirius doesn’t know a thing lest he become traumatized by what his brother and his ex get up to.
You are a wonder.
A true miracle to society

As a former vampire diaries (both the tv show AND the books), twilight, and shadow falls(I know no one’s heard of it, that’s fine) stanner, I can confidently say that vampires are still sexy and cool as fuck.
Please write more long vampire! Jegulus aus.
Please.
@screamingfae I’m looking at you👀👀👀👀
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.
Regulus black and tattoos (sad regulus times)
I think that if Regulus ran away from the death eaters he would keep the mark for a very long time. He wanted to remind himself that he isn’t a good person now just because he no longer hurts people.
He would stare at it for hours and remember all the damage he’s done, all the people he killed, all the families he’s ruined, all the torture he witnessed with a straight face. Then, once the guilt has reached its peak, he gets up and he does anything to help. He would leak information to Dumbledore about the death eaters, he would clean up demolished buildings after an attack, obliviate any muggles who saw, anything to make that guilt worth something.
When the war ends (just pretend it ended for normal reasons, not because of Lily, and they’re all fine) he finally covers it up (in a muggle shop of course). He replaces the mark with a bouquet of flowers. Mainly made up of lavender and amaranths. He’s never really been fond of flowers but he needed life to cover up the symbol of death.
He would lay these flowers over the graves of the victims. He wanted them to find peace, to have immortality in the afterlife to counteract the short life they lived. Both death eaters and muggle-borns. Some he knew, many he didn’t.
This was where Sirius found him. Kneeling over Marlene’s grave(sorry I needed a reason for him to be here), he points his wand to Regulus’ head, ready to kill his last death eater. Regulus doesn’t look up and says, “Don’t kill me yet, I haven’t finished.” Sirius realizes he was organizing the bouquet of flowers to decorate the grave, he looked around and saw half the graves covered in purple and pink flower arrangements.
Sirius helps him finish. He asks Regulus what happened to him, the last thing Sirius knew was that he had died. Regulus tells him everything, not looking for forgiveness, just wanting to answer the question. They walk to Sirius and Remus’ flat together. They part ways a few blocks away, Sirius not giving Regulus his address, even though Voldemort has been dead for months. They decide to not see each other again, both knowing their lives would only get worse if the other was in it.
Regulus gets his next tattoo that night. He gets the black crest, but instead of a crow in the center, there’s a big, shaggy black dog. (You think he DIDN’T know they were anamagi, come on.)
From then on it was like something broke free. He got tattoos covering his entire body, not wanting to feel so empty. He figures that if he can tattoo the things he used to love on his body, keep them on him at all times, then maybe he can love them again.
Tw- murder (but like, in a fun way)
The only reason I believe Jegulus couldn’t be canon is because James would be buried in a shallow grave after the breakup.
Regulus is that crazy bitch that would rather kill a man than have anyone find out he got dumped. There’s no moving on if there’s no James.
You might think I’m exaggerating but if you think about how easy it would be for Regulus to get away with it you’ll see I’m right.
I genuinely hope people look through my bookmarked fanfics on ao3 and find something they like.
No that’s literally it.
