"Regulus Only Changed Because Voldemort Hurt Kreacher Whom He Saw As His Property."

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.

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*

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

"Regulus was a fascist/racist/bloodsupremacist."

I'm not going to say that he wasn't, because I don't know. He's a fictional dead character so we will never truly know. However, I have to point out that Regulus offered himself up to drink the poison and die in that cave rather than letting Kreacher do it. Blood supremacists believe themselves to be more valuable than any living thing, but Regulus preserved Kreachers life and not his own. People like Lucius Malfoy, a confirmed blood supremacist would have left the houseful to die, but Regulus didn't. Furthermore, Regulus was 18 and all he had ever known was his family's ideology. He was raised by his parents in this ideology and then spent his time in Slytherin which at the time was filled with blood supremacists and future death eaters. If we say for a moment that he was racist, as bad as it is, its not really his fault because he was a child and didn't know any better. Does that make any racist actions okay? of course not. But some of you are forgetting that he was a child. In real life, most people dont break away from bigoted beliefs taught by their parents until they are taught better, and Regulus probably never was. Stop holding child characters to the same standard as adult characters If you can do it for Peter and Snape and even James then you can do it for Regulus.

“that didn’t happen in canon.”

how do you know? were you there?

"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.

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.

"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.
