People Out Here Better Not Be Telling Me It’s “unrealistic” For James Potter And Regulus Black

Regulus’ first crush was Newt Scamander. He would always reread fantastic beasts just so he could get to the picture of him at the end. He didn’t really understand why he would start to blush if he looked too long. His dreams were filled with curly golden hair, high cheek bones, and a tiny smile that he wouldn’t mind kissing.

His passion for magical creatures would bleed into his fascination for this man and vice versa. This was why he loved them so much.

This was also why, a few months after first getting the book and sitting with his brother on the train ride to Hogwarts, he could barely look Remus Lupin in the eye without his whole face going red.

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 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.

If only You Give Love a Bad Name by Bon Jovi came out a decade earlier. James would sing it every time Lily rejected him. When him and Reg broke up he would listen to it non stop for three days straight.

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?

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👀👀👀👀

An internal monologue I wrote from Regulus’ perspective about Jily. *Incredibly angsty.* (i don’t know how to do the read more thing but know that I would if I could)

I can’t identify my feelings while watching you. You walking in with her on your arm. You move your arm around her waist. She nuzzles into your neck, you kiss her hair.

You look happy. Different from when you were with me. You were happy with me too, but not like that. You look calm. At peace. Like everything has finally fallen in place. Well, everything was already in place, I guess I was the only thing that wasn’t.

I can’t even get mad. Trust me, I am. I am devastated.

No one knows. No one can see. But I am in mourning.

People say love shouldn’t hurt but love is hurt. Love is pain, jealousy, anger, fear, a slow and unmarked torture.

There’s a reason they call it heartache. To ache to be near them, to ache when you’re apart from them. There’s a reason you ‘fall’ in love. It is not deliberate, nor wanted, and if you don’t figure out how you’re going to land before you do, you’ll break.

But I have no right to hurt. I thought you were mine. You told me you were. But seeing you now… I guess we were both foolish. Because I will always be yours, but you were clearly never mine.

I can’t be upset with you when I was the one to fuck it all up. I was the one who pulled away when things got difficult. I was the one who shut down when you yelled. I was the one who couldn’t give you a proper answer. Couldn’t tell you just how much you mean to me. I hope you know I tried. I tried so hard. I promise.

I don’t think my promises mean much to you anymore.

But now, here we are. With you so happy, and me so far away. We were always in different worlds. Living different lives. But there was a point in time when you actually convinced me we could create a new one together. Just for us.

That’s the cruel thing about time. It gives you so much. It lets you experience things, love things, only to take it all away. The feeling lingers, the situation does not.

I wish time would speed up. Then the ache would fade. Then you would graduate and I wouldn’t be forced to watch you fall without me.

Then I would be dead. A fool who loved in silence. A fool who died in love.

Then you would be dead.

A fool who loved out loud.

A fool who died in love.

Wait, I thought we were all agreed that Reg’s a shithead and we’re just making fun of him. Like straight up I didn’t know people actually thought he was a good person.

I never knew people thought he was a better person than Sirius. Sounds like a Snape kinnie to me ngl. (No offense to Snape kinnies you do you)

To me he’s a morally grey person and I have my own reasons for that but I’ve never considered him better than Sirius. I wonder why people think that way.

How the hell can people think Regulus Black is a good person? I see so many fanfics and headcanons that he’s actually a good and sweet person, I see people saying that it’s canon that he’s a better person than Sirius because he treated a racist house-elf with respect. Like wtf? Did y’all miss the part where he idolized Voldemort and willingly joined the death eaters and was perfectly ok with murder and torture until he got personally effected? He’s giving Snape vibes and that’s not a good thing. How does that scream “good person” or “hero”? You’re a hero when your intentions are to help other people, not when it’s just to give Voldemort the invisible middle finger. Fuck Regulus and anyone that tries to claim that he’s a better person than Sirius can square up because wth.

Regulus: Sirius don’t be stupid

Regulus: My blood is as Black as my soul

Madam Pomfrey: *looks directly into the camera*😐

Regulus: *In the hospital wing because he got injured*

Madam Pomfrey: What's your type?

Regulus: Uh..James Potter.

Madam Pomfrey:

James:

James: Reggie, she means blood type.

Regulus: Oh...I don't know, ask my brother.

Madam Pomfrey: Mr Black, what is his blood type?

Sirius: Ugh, red??

NEVERMIND I FOUND IT THANK YUO FOR TRYING TO HELP ME I LOVE YOU ALL ITS ‘definition of insanity’ by bizzarestars

Idk if people do this anymore but I need help finding a fic that I read like a month ago. It’s a jegulus fic where Regulus doesn’t have a car so Sirius has James drive him to work. James says he’s straight but him and Reg have this flirty lil relationship. One night James comes to Reg drunk and they canoodle but James is gone in the morning I think?? I’m a lil fuzzy on that detail. After that Reg starts dating Kingsley because he’s not gonna fuck with a straight boy again. Then Kingsley moves away and they break up and then Reg and James get together. Also Sirius and Remus fell in love doing porn together and that’s their little side story

The fic was like three chapters but the word count was probably around 10,000-40,000, I can’t imagine it being longer than that.

I loved it and it was fun but now I can’t find it so SOMEBODY ANYBODY HELP ME PLEASE
