"Jegulus is being forced down our throats"
No it's not, block the tags of you dont like them it's not that hard. Yes, tagging incorrectly is a problem that needs to be solved, but if you're gonna be in the main 'Marauders' tag, you should expect to see any and all ships. Stop complaining, please. I'd you think something has the wrong tag on it, ask the person NICELY to remove it.
"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.
This is so true. Just like with any character, their actions as children are excusable but anything horrible they do as adults cannot be forgotten about or excused. This goes for Peter, Regulus, Barty and even James and Sirius too. There is a difference between young characters and old characters as well as between canon characters and fanon characters.
Imma say it:
I’m pro CHILD AND STUDENT snape but the second he’s an adult my sympathy is lost. Sure kids do stupid shit, but the dude was an adult when he was perfectly fine murdering some random women’s baby until he found out it was lily’s.
That awkward moment when someone you know in real life finds your online fanfiction.
"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.
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.
Im.. Soft 🥺🥺🥺
cr.
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.
“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!
