#jegulus hate

[reggieswriter]

Alright someone argue with me

Jegulus is a great ship and is entirely supported

[maxthelorax]

tbh seeing ppl hate on ships/characters is giving me flashbacks to my father yapping about jesus (most the hate ive seen is mad about making james gay or something). this shit is so unnecessary.

I am so sick of people hating on jegulus. If you don’t like the ship maybe don’t read them? Don’t interact. Read about your own ships. There is no shortage of jily fics out there. They’re lovely. I read them, too. But those saying Regulus is not that guy or to those saying they hate Lily getting cast aside, well, you are literally missing the whole point of fanfiction. Of making up or exploring more of their characterization because we didn’t even get much in canon so we have all these freedom to create? Alternate Universe, ever heard of it? Liking characters just because. Looking at timothee chalamet’s curls and rings and screaming “he is so R.A.B coded!!!!” Fanfiction, guys. I am so tired. You are all angry because he’s canonically a death eater? He changed his mind in the end because of his house elf. Maybe that is interesting and we want to explore that? Maybe we’re just sluts for redemption arcs? Anything can happen in fanfiction. They’re not real people, to begin with. We’re free to imagine whatever we like.

I feel too old to be engaging in this, actually. You’re all too young in this fandom arguing whether or not James Potter would fall in love with his bestfriend’s brother. That is nothing. You weren’t here when the Wincest fandom started the omegaverse trope. You weren’t here when the co-founder of ao3 co-founded ao3 because she liked mpreg. Be thankful there is no mpreg in marauders era fics. Or if you like that sort of thing good for you and I support you!

Can people just stop yapping about their hate for a ship on the ship post? Like what is your point? Ooh user193728 thinks the characters would dEspIsE each other in canon so they could definitely never be in romantic relationship in my imagination. Yeah no move on and block

hi! i've no idea how i came to your page but i realised i'd read two of your one-shots in ao3 before and had adored them (you'll probably get comments from me in future, btw) and i just wanted to say thank you for your writing and thank you for your prongsfoot<3

i've been very critical of this sort of new, cool and aloof and martyred version of remus lupin for quite a while now (honestly, where did all those traits come from?!) and gosh, you're so eloquent when talking about him!!!

i was wondering what your thoughts were on regulus black? because i think he's getting the same sort of royalty treatment as remus does by making him sort of-- er, perfect? i mean. i've seen so much recently of him basically saving the world single-handedly and i-- ugh. and james is always just there, like a useless idiot? it makes me irrationally angry, and this is coming from someone who enjoys jegulus quite a bit. my problem is that i don't know if this rejection i feel against those two comes from a place of genuine dislike of them or from a place of wishing sirius and james were not done so dirty.

anyway, again, thank you for your writing. it's truly beautiful. hope you have a great day!

omg hello 🥺 i’ve periodically opened tumblr, giggling like a loon, and logging off multiple times just to see this ask,,,,thank u sm , ur way too kind <3 and ur comment on ao3!!! i was just,,,,yeah,,,no words. thank u.

ooooooh i remember being asked something similar a while ago and i took the safe route and basically went ‘remus lupin-ification of regulus’ iirc. that still stands. but but. i’ve also got another answer here! all hail tumblr’s search system today!

i still basically stand by all of it, but adding onto the jegulus + sirius bits of it:

annoys tf outta me when regulus is turned into a victim and like sirius damned him to hell when he left . i have thoughts about the way both of them were treated (which,,,another time,,,this post is already getting too long lol) but i imagine the day sirius left to be a Good One for reg bc he thinks he’ll have his parents undivided attention now. i also think regulus is severely defanged in a lot of characterisations, as if he wasn’t a baby DE, as if he wasn’t a slytherin from the house of black, as if he wasn’t walmart sirius black. like man i’m almost offended on his behalf. i’m sure his shaking his lil fist up at us from wherever he is.

with jegulus…okay, i’ve only read a couple oneshots but that doesn’t mean i haven’t tried. i genuinely went thru so many fics trying to get something, anything to stick and i think the problem is me. fully. completely. without doubt. i just can’t deal with a situation where j&s aren’t each others no.1, or at the very least, equivalent to that. that’s where my issues w wolfstar started, same w this. jegulus also has the added horror of ‘james and reg sneaking behind sirius’ back’ which is just,,,,gosh,,,,i have So Many Thoughts ab that. all personal opinions, but still. they’re strong. it fucks me up just thinking about it. i also think the ship tries wayyyy too hard to fit the ‘best friend’s brother’ trope and ends up sacrificing characterisation for it. which,,,again,,,that’s fine but it’s all the ‘oh this is how it was!’ that gets to me. and then james :/// he gives off such weird energy lol. jegulus gives me drarry vibes, and james is treated almost exactly as harry is in a lot of those. reg also gets the saviour treatment, like draco, and both of their fuckery is toned down until they’re almost normal, like they never did any reprehensible shit. j&r, and d&h are placed on the same moral equivalence and it’s just a bit. hmm. okay. (my issue with this is how it leaks into the writing and suddenly i’m made to sympathise with draco bc harry slashed him w sectumsempra, but we conveniently forget he was gonna use an unforgivable, ykno?) so overall it just feels…pushing reg up and pulling james down to get them on equal footing. very similar to wolfstar lbr.

anyway. that’s a ramble and a half lmao.

also!! ‘a place of genuine dislike of them or from a place of wishing sirius and james were not done so dirty’ in my mind, both of these occupy a similar plane of existence. so very valid. for me, personally, hating remrem started as the latter and i eventually realised it’s also the former lol i was just mad a how sirius is bastardised to justify his ~deification and it eventually moved on to ‘wow i just. do not like him’. damn.

No hate to Jegulus shippers, but also Reg is my precious little aroace boi and you can’t convince me otherwise

rant on jegulus

this may be the safest place for me to say this, I fear. I might sound like a little but of a need for talking about this. But in the marauders fandom, I absolutely DESPISE jegulus so much 😭😭

Like, where did it even come from? I'm not doing this to bash the shippers. But I feel like most people ship it JUST because it's gay and it pmo. And they always make Lily such a 1 dimensional character and don't even try to develop her character.

And I love regulus, don't get me wrong. I literally Simp for him. But why do you make his character so complex and 3d and make him a main character when LILY IS RIGHT THERE! She is the mother of this whole fandom, how could you just ignore her? I genuinely love her sm.

Anyways, that's my small rant :3

[vroomvroomtothemoon]

jegulus is anti-lily and James would never love a bigoted crap like regulus. Get your facts right.

Looks like the anti-jegulus hate has gotten to me.

Let people ship whatever the fuck they want. It’s not your business what people like. If you have a problem with jegulus, you can filter the tag so that if a post with jegulus tagged shows up it gives you a warning before opening the post.

This is what you would see:

You can add the jegulus tag you your filtered tags and content. You, under no circumstances, should be sending hate to jegulus creators because you saw their jegulus posts.

Finally, I have not said anything about jily. Keep your hate and negativity to yourself. I sure as hell don’t want it.
