#I desesperalty need to discuss him with other people because he has so much potential and my brain is just leaving him out everytime

I totally see what you mean but don't actually agree. That's mostly because I have clear headcanon about Reg and Barty that don't go with my views of Snape at all lmao.

In Evan's case I always imagine him a little closer to Lucius and the whole pureblood community. I think Reg would be in those spheres too, obviously he's the heir of the Blacks but they wouldn't really be Reg's friends. Lucius maybe, because I love his relationship to Narcissa and I headcanon reg close to her but other than that it would just be mutual respect. Like bud doesn't care that they're hurting muggle borns etc at all, but at the same time he's not going to join their outings to burn villages or anything of the kind without real reasons. The whole 'he's a black' thing. He's at the top of the pureblood hierarchy.

Reg values power more than anything, probably views himself as superior to pretty much anyone. He'd be friend with Pandora and Dorcas because you know what? They're badass and he respects that. (Some part of me genuinely thinks Reg could friend with Lily before the whole Voldermort thing.) And that's all. Later he joins Voldemort because he's looking for this said power, and he retracts himself as soon as Voldemort touches his things because he's a black once again, he's just arrogant enough to look at Voldemort and stop everything because actually he wasn't that into the whole killing muggle borns. He would kill them if asked because he wants the power Voldemort can provides if he follows him, but now that they're touching HIS things? No, never, he wouldn't be able to sleep after that. (For me the fact that he cares for a house elf even if house elves are at the bottom of society goes with this idea.)

so before anything he had no problems being friend with Pandora and Dorcas because actually he wouldn't insult them or anything, just be like "oh powerful :0".

Barty pretty much same. Wouldn't actually give a fuck about the whole pureblood thing, probably joined Voldemort 90% to piss his father and 10% because he wanted matching tattoos with his two real bestfriend. I also imagine him closer to Reg than Evan so both of them would just look at Evan talking to Snape from afar like ugh.

Tbh personally I don't have much opinions about Evan so I can imagine him being friends with Snape to some extent. I read a lot of fics about how he was forced and everything which...I don't really know how I feel about that I guess. The only headcanon I KNOW I have is that he has been a childhood friend of reg way before Hogwarts so even if he happened to be meanthey would already be friends, and in this case he'd probably look at Dorcas and Pandora like "Oh no, not them. Love them." I guess I prefer thinking of him more forcing himself to do bad things to make his family proud, because otherwise i don't really get his relationship with the rest of the group.

But for me Reg would be incapable of befriending Snape. I imagine Reg being like "He's powerful. Deserves respect." But at the same time for me he's too much of a Black to like Snape's personality, probably even view him as a hypocrite. He would interact with Snape, talk about potions with him every once in a while when they're together in a room for super long but he'd never actually go to him. Too extremist for him to be real friends and he'd also find him kind of weird but he wouldn't hate him at first. Plus Snape probably didn't 'take care' of himself etc and probably lacks social skills which kind of goes against what he was raised to follow.

Buut because Sirius hates him I'm convinced Reg would too. He'd die before admitting it but just yes.

Barty would probably just follow Reg here. I'm a Bartylus shipper and for me they're mutually obsessed with each other so it would end up like "we don't like him? Okay!" Bro is unhinged, just wants to do shits without caring either. He'd be closer to Dorcas and that's just it, he's probably on the big families spheres only because he's always with Reg and Evan soo Yes. He could join some burn villages outing but it would be just for fun; not like burning muggles just wow fire people die hahaha. Just a silly guy really, the rest of his friends were probably studying and he had nothing to do in the meantime because he doesn't need to study.

The problem with the fandom, for me, is that they baby Regulus. They write him most of the time as just a poor kitten who's lost and hate doing evil things and all. Which breaks my heart to read everytime because those stories are soo well written and genuinely sad but that's just not how I view him. And because this Regulus is so sweet and all there's no way he'd be friend with Snape or even just civil with him. Same with Barty and Evan tbh like if a character was grey in canon and friends with both morally white characters and morally black characters making this character a total victim that's just a sweet and hurt little thing would make it almost impossible to keep him friend with some other characters.

But i'd say that's kind of something I also like in the fandom. Just the thousand different headcanon and writing for the characters lmao. Like at this point canon doesn't really matter at all soo

the way the fandom disregards canon to say that regulus barty and evan were besties and then uses canon to leave snape out because they don't like him <<<<
