"I'm Tired Of Seeing Female Characters Being Hated On For 'getting In The Way Of A Ship'. Lily Evans,

"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.

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)

"Regulus' parents didn't force him to become a death eaters. They didn't join Voldemort."

Walburga and Orion were always blood supremacists and agreed with Voldemort. They raised their children with these beliefs. We dont know if Regulus joined willingly or they pressured him into it, but he was 16 when he joined. He was a child and it was their responsibility and their fault either way.

That awkward moment when someone you know in real life finds your online fanfiction.

"You can't like Regulus but hate Snape, because they were both death eaters."

Incorrect, because I don't dislike Snape for joining the Death Eaters or even for the way he treated Lily when he was a child. I dislike him because of the way he treated children as an adult and a teacher. His blatant bullying of Neville and Hermione is why I donr like him. If I read a fic where he becomes less of a shitty person, I do find myself liking his character, but in terms of Canon, disliking Snape isn't outrageous.

"The babygirlification of death eater characters is problematic."

We're writing fanfiction about dead wizards from a world that doesn't exist, it's really not that serious. Besides, in most of the fics where this happens, they're not racist??? the whole point of fanfiction is that we change Canon to fit our own made up stories. Nobody is glorifying fascism or racism, please stop fighting invisible enemies, its getting embarrassing. If you want more stories about the 4 marauders doing marauders shenanigans like ATYD or whatever, write them, meanwhile I'll be enjoying my Regulus centric Jegulus fanfictions over here, because that is what I enjoy and there's nothing wrong with that.

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.

Im.. Soft 🥺🥺🥺

cr. 

I love the idea of a Trans Regulus AU (ftm) where he fakes his death and transitions while everyone mourns him, only for the marauders to randomly see him somewhere like the place he works a few years later. Imagine the confrontation

Regulus : *deer in headlights*

Sirius : *absolute disbelief*

Remus :*shocked and mildly impressed that Regulus pulled off smth like this*

Peter : *confused*

James : *brain rebooting as he stares at Regulus, practically drooling*
