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.
12 year old Regulus who writes 'Regulus Potter' in hearts all over a page in his notebook and then throws it into a fire when Barty comes back to the room unexpectedly early.
12 year old Barty who has to be physically stopped from putting his hand into the fire because he knows that it has something embarrassing in it and wants to tease Regulus.
Jegulus Celebrity AU where James has two tiktok accounts, his verified one and a private one.
He only posts regularly on the second one but if you go onto the reposts of his "official" account, you'd only find edits of Regulus.
He also uses that one to comment on his favourite ones and the fans love it
(Sirus has James' verified account blocked because he was tired of seeing edits of his brother on his fyp)
" Bring back the OG marauders."
Sure, go ahead. If you want to make them all cis-het white British characters again, feel free to do so. Nobody is forcing you to read fics with more diversity. The fun thing about fanon and headcannons is that you can think whatever you want and nobody can stop you. However if the diversity bothers you enough that you have to send us death threats, that says more about you than it does about us.
That awkward moment when someone you know in real life finds your online fanfiction.

imma say it
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)
"Saying Regulus is a more interesting character than Lily is misogyny"
First of all, I agree that there is a disproportion of content for male and female characters and that's a problem. However, preferring Regulus' character over Lily's and finding it more interesting isn't misogyny, but Personal opinion. Sure, some people might have this opinion because of misogyny but the majority don't.
What annoys me the most about this fandom is that people are always arguing about the most ridiculous things.
Why is it that we as a fandom seem to feel the need to attack each other for what we like and what we dislike.
Why does one character or ship have to be better than others?
If you don't ship something just keep scrolling. It takes more effort to open the comment section and leave a hate comment than to just find content that you do like. it's not that hard.
I think some people forget that we don't all have to agree. It's okay to ship a rare pairing that other people might find odd and it's okay to make a seemingly 'bad' character more three dimensional.
As long as its not harmful content that someone is making or consuming, why should it matter to you.
At the end of the day, it's all made up so who gives a damn.
I can like Regulus as a character without hating on lily because guess what, there is no reason to be constantly pitting them against each other. They are FICTIONAL.
Jegulus is not better than Jily or the other way around, they're just different.
I love Lily and the other female characters but it is possible for someone to dislike one of them and not for misogynistic reasons. Not everything is an attack on women.
Sometimes I like reading fics where certain characters I like are villanised because it seems funny, including Lily. That's not misogynistic. Especially not if I read ones where James or barty or sirius are the bad guy sometimes.
It's okay to like snape. I don't and you might not but that doesn't give you a right to attack the people who do.
What Im saying is, leave people alone and stop attacking them for having different opinions. If you're going to criticise a ship or character at least have the decency to do it in a place where the people who like said character or ship don't have to see it.
It really isn't that hard.
This fandom is supposed to be a free space to enjoy content you enjoy but sometimes doesn't feel like it because of the people who behave like their opinion should be fact and those who disagree can be harassed and bullied until they leave.
Just try to remember that just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's wrong.
"Lily is treated as a surrogate and Regulus is being made the parent of her child."
I've read maybe 3 fics where Lily was a surrogate and only a few where she wasn't involved in Harry's life (usually because she was dead). Most of us aren't taking away her role in his life. Co-parenting is a more popular story where James and Lily have harry but date other people. That doesn't take away from Lily's role as a mother at all. Once again, she's not focused on in these stories because they are not about her, they are about James and Regulus. If you want more stories with Lily raising Harry without James, write them.
“Cannon Divergent”…?
Nah bitch, this is a “CANNON DIVORCE”
We’ll dismantle cannon with our bare hands, throw out the shitty plot holes & rebuild it way more gay! They can’t stop us!
Viva la revolución!
