Tw: Mentioned Child Abuse
Tw: mentioned child abuse
In almost every fic I read, Sirius and the marauders deny Regulus ever being abused (usually in fics where Reg is emotionally abused and/or manipulated)
But I want one where Reg denies they ever did anything wrong and Sirius is always trying to convince him other wise.
Sirius tries to be gentle with him but Reg never listens. One day during an argument in the halls, Reg tells Sirius that if he just stopped fighting, their parents wouldn’t punish him.
Sirius is just so tired of hearing it that he says, « oh really? Then why do you flinch when someone moves too fast? Why do you look for an exit when you enter a room? Why do you bite your nails so often? Why can you tell who’s walking just by the sound of their footsteps? Why do you shut down minutes at a time? Just because your scars aren’t on the outside doesn’t mean they’re not there. You are just as fucked up as I am. So don’t stand there and tell me that being perfect would change anything because you are living proof that it wouldn’t. »
Regulus felt so exposed. He didn’t think anybody could see it. But with Sirius’ and his own friends looking anywhere but at the two, he understood that they all knew about both of their abuse. It’s the first time Regulus says to his brother, « I hate you. »
He walks away from the crowded hall and cries in a hidden room in the dungeons for hours. Apparently, he hadn’t fooled anybody with his act. His friends just didn’t care.
Sirius felt terrible for saying it how he did. In front if a crowd of people, in the form of an insult, and insinuating that his own scars were visible. He wanted Regulus to admit it to himself before he heard anyone else say it out loud. He took a thousand steps back in helping his brother and proper communication was nowhere in sight.

Two nights ago, I had to temporarily leave my home, because my father was throwing plates and mugs, and tried to slap my face
Which, the slap is really fucked up when you think, I have an extremely weak jaw (I had my entire jaw removed in a 10 hour surgery. And my current jaw was hand made by my surgeons using my left fibula) and my father KNOWS this.
I'm currently staying at my partners mom's house for a few days, while things settle down!!
I'm getting my next disability cheque in 3 days, but untill then I have nothing, money wise. I have a Dr's appointment tomorrow, in Mississauga and it'll be about $50 for the uber there and back, and iv estimated that for FOOD for the next 3 days that'll cost me $50 as well!!
I'm so sorry everyone. I'm trying so hard to get back up on my feet, and I feel like I keep getting shot down.
I genuinely hope people look through my bookmarked fanfics on ao3 and find something they like.
No that’s literally it.
YES THIS ENERGY ONLY😎
The best part about being a marauders fan is there is pretty much no character information so we get to have these characters with very light information and do whatever the fuck we want with them and no one can say otherwise? All of them are gay? Sure! James is desi? Absolutely! Remus is welsh? Yes please! Marlene played quidditch? Yep! Lily and Remus were besties? Totally! Dorcas uses she/they pronouns? Hell yah! Regulus was in love with James? He is now!
There are no rules and she can suck it because they’re not her characters anymore. Every single minor character, every ship, every head canon is canon if we say so!
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
Y’know, now is a great time to be one of the people who stopped reading choices when they knew they couldn’t handle it.
I wrote my first fanfic if you wanted to read. There’s not really a plot. Just a lot of jegulus flirting. Hope you like it😎
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 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.
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.
Young Sirius to James: You and Regulus are gonna love each other and then we’ll all be brothers!
James: *makes fun of him*
Reg: *doesn’t realize he’s joking and ends up hexing him.*
Sirius: 😃 you gotta be fucking kidding me😃
