This Is So True. Just Like With Any Character, Their Actions As Children Are Excusable But Anything Horrible

The anti jeguls and anti regulus people calling everyone fascists are starting to get on my nerves. Especially because they're flooding the jegulus tag while complaining about us flooding the other tags. Hypocrisy at its finest.

"Jegulus is misogynistic because Lily is sidelined in the story as a result of the ship."

I dont think that's misogyny because if it's a JEGULUS story, and she isn't the main character, why would her story be prioritised. Once again, if you want to see more Lily content or any female character, why dont you start by making some yourself. Personally, if I want a specific fanfic but I can't find one like it, I WRITE IT MYSELF. Complaining without doing anything to make a change is just annoying and unhelpful.

"Regulus only changed because Voldemort hurt Kreacher whom he saw as his property."

Based on the information that we do have from Canon, this cannot be true. we know from Kreachers stories that Regulus was always nicer to him than most people, which means that he probably saw Kreacher as more than an object, maybe even a friend if he was willing to die instead of him. Either way, Regulus didn't just decide to go against everything he'd ever known just because his houself had gotten injured. This was probably the breaking point that led to his decision.

So guess who finally finished their 85k canon-adjacent Jegulus fanfic?

It's a trick question, the answer is me obviously.

Anyway I uploaded the final chapter today and after more than a year of writing, it's done.

Thank you to everyone's support with this, I'm so grateful.

imma say it

There is not enough Lily bashing.

LOOK okay; ive read james bashing, ive read sirius bashing, ive read remus bashing, ive read marlene bashing, ive read peter and mary and frank bashing. Ive read alice bashing, ive read dorcas and even bashing, ive read barty and snape and regulus bashing. Its harder to find a character bashing i haven't read at least once.

Lily however? it doesn't happen. Because, imo, everyone seems on edge about bashing her as they'll be called a misogynist. "Even" in non-jegulus stories, it doesn't happen.

I love lily, and i think shes a great character, but sometimes the avoidance to write her as yeah kind of the asshole makes the writing worse. Its less realistic.

Guess what, sometimes people aren't calm and understanding even when they should be and definitely when they shouldn't.

A weird amount of fics go out of the way to avoid any conflict with lily by just not writing her or writing her as bland or without any spark which is what attracts a lot of people to the character.

The amount of fics ive read where lily has been like "i understand" no matter what happens is kind of bs. she looses her fire.

Let lily get mad

let her loose her shit over little things

let her yell a bit more, even if she isn't in the right

please, for the love of the marauders, write Lily Evans as Lily Evans

(i'm fine to debate this but honestly i see nothing wrong with this opinion)

"Peter is being replaced by Regulus as a marauder."

No he's not, be so for real right now. In the majority of fics Regulus is left out/ignored by the marauders unless he and Sirius have a good relationship. And when they have a good relationship it makes sense for Regulus to be around his brother and the rest of the marauders, especially when Jegulus is happening. Peter being forgotten isn't a new thing, that has been an issue for years, so stop blaming it on the rise in Regulus popularity.

btw dating sucks as a concept.

Random question but if a trans male character gets pregnant, does it count as mpreg, because I have seen people argue both in fanfiction tags?

I asked some of my fanfic writer friends but we couldn't agree so we decided to take the argument to tumblr.
