Y’know, Now Is A Great Time To Be One Of The People Who Stopped Reading Choices When They Knew They

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 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

I feel like Sirius drinks fruity cocktails while Regulus drinks wine. They both like to act like classy motherfuckers when drinking. All their friends have seen them sloshed out of their minds at some point so none of them take them too seriously.

And when they’re drunk Sirius will turn to anyone and start screaming, “I love you so much you’re so pretty, not as pretty as Moony but no one can be as pretty as Moony. He’s my boyfriend by the way, you HAVE to meet him. Where’d you get your shirt? Can I try it on? Yes right now. OH HI JAMES!!!!!”

Regulus just sits in the corner giggling the whole time. When he sees James (and/or Barty if you like) he just openly stares at them. Like, wide eyed, open mouthed, hands holding his cheeks staring.

Bro your mind is expansive thank you so much for this perfect explanation. I didn’t think everything was a lie either but I never thought about all of that

ok i don't want to be that person that says "Everyone is wrong and my opinion is the right one" ......but i think everyone is wrong about the ending of Ragnarok.

It was anticlimactic i agree. But i don't think this was all in his head. The final part, the battle, it happened. Magne saw a glimpse of what could have happened if he hadn't went against what things were expected of them. Because this is what the whole show is about. Everyone is expected to be someone and doing something that at the end of the day, they aren't meant to be.

And everyone is like "Oh all of this for Ragnarok to not happen "

But it did.

Just not as it was written. That the Ragnarok they had lived once. That's the Ragnarok they thought they had to live again. They where trapped in a loop of constant fight. But Magne broke that. And the last true Ragnarok happened. He took the nine steps that took Thor to die. And he made a choice. And Thor died. So that Magne could live.

So that they could live.

Ragnarok happened because they left behind their roles. They left behind the expectations they had of themselves. And moved forward. Gone are the times of the Titans and the Gods. They live as humans now.

Ragnarok happened and they are finally free.

Sorry if you don’t like sad jegulus. I like it more when Reg survives and there’s awkward jegulily moments.

My jegulus breakup:

Regulus gets the mark. He knows that he has to break up with James now, he can’t keep telling himself he deserves to be with him.

James is confused, they were doing just fine. Sure, Reg had been distant for a few weeks but his kisses carried the same passion as before. Was he the problem? Was he not good enough?(Let’s be real here James would blame himself) James demands to know why but Reg just keeps telling him they can’t be together. “I thought you loved me. What happened?” James asks through his tears.

Reg freezes. Of course he loved him, how could you not love James Potter? The problem is that he didn’t want James to love the waste of space he is.

He is desperate to have James’ love. It’s the only love that didn’t take more than he could give.

He needs James’ love. Craves it. Done what he could to be worth it.

But he doesn’t want it. It hurts too much. It hurts having to disappoint another person who means everything to him. It hurts having to show him the mark. To watch his face change. To see his eyes fill with betrayal. To have him straighten his stance and walk away.

Regulus can’t let James leave not knowing. “I do love you”.

James looks at him for a moment and says “I guess it just wasn’t enough, was it?” That’s the last thing he says to Regulus.

He wished James never loved him. But he wished more than anything that James never got to have his heart broken by someone as worthless as him.

James never once thought that. Regulus was ethereal. He was burned into the back of his eyelids and carved into his skin. There was nothing in James’ life that didn’t trace back to Regulus. He was simply, unforgettable.

Priceless.

Which is why it hurt so much more watching Regulus go down the path he thought he would be able to save him from.

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 Headcanons

He was extremely pale but when he blushed his whole face turned red. He hated it, especially because of how easy it was to make him blush

He had hemophilia (as a product of inbreeding). Something about it just makes sense.

He resembled his father while Sirius resembled their mother. He was quiet, reserved, and was often seen as apathetic. (But he could scream like a fucking banshee, he had to get something from his mother)

He’s the kind of person to kick you when your down b/c he thinks it’s really funny. He only does it to his friends b/c he knows they can take it but he definitely talks shit about other people to them. Like, Barty would get a really shit grade on a test and Reg would say, “Well at least you’re good looking, oh WAIT”and run out before Barty can throw something at him.

He reads muggle books and enchants the covers so no one knows.

He lies about his favorite book genre because it’s trashy romance.

He was a hat stall because he was having a whole conversation with himself in his head and the hat couldn’t get a word in. After five minutes of him weighing the pros and cons of each house he says to the hat ‘okay, put me in Ravenclaw’. The hat stays silent for a second and screams ‘SLYTHERIN’

Regulus can hold a grudge like a BITCH. He’s still mad at the hat for not going with his decision (even though he knows it was right)

He had a hard time growing hair when he was little and was really insecure about it. Just imagine him with the worst little rat moustache.

He took pride in his hygiene. He had a skin and haircare routine, flossed, and moisturized. He clipped his nails and made sure they looked nice (or tried to since he bit his nails a lot). He even brought silk pillowcases to school.

He wrote music. You can’t convince me other wise. This bitch played piano and violin, two of the hardest instruments to learn, and wrote pieces for both of them.

He bit his nails. He thought it was really disgusting because he hated germs but he wouldn’t realize he was doing it until he was three nails in.

He absolutely had a blanky when he was little. He slept with it but hid it from his dorm mates in his first year. Bellatrix set it on fire and Regulus didn’t leave his room for weeks.

Whoever originally thought of peanut butter and jelly going together must have been considered the psychopath of their time. Baller mix, glad you thought of it, but what the fuck were you thinking?

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.

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 💀

for everybody going through tough times, believe me, mr. worldwide has both been there and done that ✊😔
