#james parents are jegulus shippers

[gabihime-jegulusseeker]

Another jegulus incorrect quote

Euphemia Potter: Regulus kissed you?

James: *staring woefully out of his window*

Effie: and you said thank you…?

James: yeah...

Effie: well that was very polite of you

meanwhile

Regulus: thank you?!?! WHO SAID THANK YOU IN THIS SITUATION, WHAT DID HE MEAN

Fleamont : I'm sorry reg, my son is stupid, but you already knew this.

[siriusblackdevotee]

I just need Sirius-centric angst bro

A fic where Regulus is indeed favored by Walburga and Sirius was constantly taking shit for it pls. Sprinkle in some abuse though I don't really care for physical abuse, just mental or emotional is fine.

Bonus points if Sirius does act out or become worse in her eyes, purposely failing her expectations so by default, Regulus would be the better son and would live with much less pressure.

Make it spicier too if possible. Sirius is fucked up because of it. Sometimes that older sibling jealousy overtakes him, sometimes he wants to see Regulus suffer too, sometimes he wants to stop doing all this and just prove to her he was worth her time but the guilt from that would be far heavier so he pushes himself!

Oh and obviously he doesn't escape Walburga's abuse unscathed!! Of course it affected him!! Of course it scars him!! He thought he was loved until his sorting and realized it was conditional and now he has self esteem issues because of her and he tries to hide it by being egoistical!!

Gotta add in my favorite trope too. The day Sirius snaps and tries to run away, he attempts to bring Regulus as well and gets rejected because one of them had to stay!! That fucks up Sirius even more because not only would his own mother never choose him but his brother too!!

The cherry on top? It's a Jegulus fic where James hides their relationship from Sirius. Because Regulus and Sirius haven't made up even though James knows they both want to and he just loves Regulus even more. And Sirius then finds out!! And realizes his second brother won't choose him first either!

It's like what, three times someone dear to him would pick his family over him? Walburga with Regulus, regulus with the Black family, James with Regulus. Oh god, his self esteem would be destroyed.

I need fics like these where Sirius that is so desperate to give his love out, hoping he'd be picked first because wally made him feel like he'd never be and yet is never chosen first. I need an angsty fics that's so angsty it could literally kill him.

Orion preferably not mentioned cause idgaf abt him. No platonic/romantic wolfstar, or platonic lilypad or platonic blackkinnon or any other duo that can give Sirius any emotional or mental support. I want him to suffer.

And well it ends with a very emotionally scarred Sirius and preferably a happy ending, for Jegulus atleast!!

[lexithwrites]

just thought about single parents James and Lily coparenting Harry and being super chill with each other after breaking up and encouraging each other to go on dates and then they meet Mary and Regulus and start having weekly coffee meet ups to gossip about how hot they both are

The Stupidity of hating on fanon, featuring Jegulus.

Alright folks,

Welcome to another one of my rants because I found out that there are jegulus haters on tumblr. I have not encountered one but I saw it on my mutuals' page and I had some words (a lot of words) to say.

So let's get started...

One of the main complaints is saying that 'James would never fall for Regulus.' Umm...child, do you know what fanfic is? What fanon is? If not let me spell it out for you- it's made up. Something that is not canon and created by fans by employing their imaginations. We are not saying that James would fall for Regulus in canon at all, so please don't come barging in with your opinions. So yes, we don't really care about canon anyways.

Secondly, the argument of 'Regulus being a terrible person and pureblood supremacist' is really weak. Alright, he was a pureblood supremacist and was involved in terrible things. But do you know what else he was? He was just a 17 year old boy who grew up in an abusive household. A boy who had lost his big brother and had to learn survival at an age too young. He grew up before his time and was so traumatized that he always wanted to please his parents and do as they wish. Regulus was just another victim and he also was the one who ended up being the catalyst to Voldemort's defeat. As someone who studies psychology, viewing a person on the surface is the biggest sign of ignorance and it really shows. As for 'being terrible' then let's not forget that canon James wasn't all sunshine and rainbows either. He improved ofc, but he was still an asshole when he was young. Also, we really don't have enough background on canon Regulus to place him in one box. I love that some people want to believe him as good and fill in the blanks by writing something redeeming.

Then comes the 'it's a misogynistic ship'. Now, I won't argue it fully because I do think there are some people out there who don't like Jily bc they hate Lily. But, from what I've seen majority shippers ship both of them interchangeably or in a polyarmorous sense too. In fact, most jegulus shippers are also Marylily and pandalily shippers too. I really can't see anything misogynistic in it. I've actually read some great fics where Lily is a strong independent woman who is fierce and an overall queen.

And, if the 'canon' of it bothers you too much, then you should check out early Jegulus fics like Choices where nothing is sugar-coated. James still ends up with Lily. But in the end, it leaves you thinking and rooting for them anyways. The more new Jegulus fics are on a fluffier side but that fluff came in after bearing the pain of the full of angst fics like Choices.

Another thing should be noted is that these characters are also a big part of queer community. I've seen so many fans exploring themselves through these characters. Like Regulus as Trans is becoming a popular headcanon and it shows that through creative expression people are finding a safe place to explore. And if you're a bigot then...that is frankly a you problem. One I, or jegulus fans, don't want any part of.

In the end, my motive is not to convince you of shipping these two. It clearly started as a crackship, one even I stumbled upon accidentally. But the fandom has made it into something really beautiful and I think instead of spreading hate we should accept it. There are more problematic pairings to be concerned about, trust me. This one is the least of them all.

Thank you for listening to my rant. And if you have anything negative to say, kindly don't because it would just be proof of your own stupidness. There is no point you can argue about with anything substantial. Because in the end it's fanon. Let fans do what they want and if you don't like it then ignore. No one is forcing it on you.

@corwnvus I hope this covers it all. Also, I love your art. Did I mention that, already?

[t1oui]

fic where instead of regulus dating single parent james who's coparenting w marylily, it's mary dating single parent lily who's coparenting w jegulus

harry is smol bc what's a single parent fic without little harry

luna is the weird girl who's constantly hanging around

harry has a cat named leo. she hates james and james hates her back (he's so sad she doesn't like him)

(the cat is probably messing w him. she is regulus's, after all)

lily introducing mary to effie and monty bc she doesn't really get along with her parents anymore :')

harry and luna being huge marylily shippers

idk i just like the idea of jegulus having a nice big house bc they're both rich and mary immediately thinks they're stuck-up assholes

and then she realizes they're actually both massive dorks (yes, both of them. james is just more obviously a dork than regulus is)

also mary and regulus becoming best friends... yes please (and this terrifying james and lily)

my mind is blanking on more so add on if yall want but just!! marylily

This post contains spoilers.

I have to get something off my chest. I was up in the middle of the night with my toddler and I had a panic, because I am advertising a canon event compliant story and Jegulus is a primary ship. My panic was due to people not knowing where this Jegulus ship is going and how the canon event of Harry Potter plus James and Lily's wedding fits in.

*If you want take my word that it all happens fluidly and for it to be a full surprise stop reading this post now!*

The more I write them, the more Jegulus has my heart. When I first drafted an outline for this epic story I had them falling apart sort of like in Choices. But it is clear to me that is not the direction these beautiful boys are going. In fact, I don't think I ever looked at that outline after I wrote it. James is there, he sticks by Regulus' side. And their story is still gut wrenching, perhaps even more so. But it's their story. Harry's existence is not due to disloyalty or a broken relationship. It is the result of Wild magic, the magic of prophecies. And though I'm not writing an AU, the set of circumstances (yeah they have sex) which results in Harry's conception it very specific to my story and my HC. The wedding occurs after Regulus dies and because I'm not following external resources for canon compliance, after James has lost his parents. It is an assurance of financial security for Lily (who is pregnant at the time with Harry). 

I will not reveal more right now. If you are a Jily shipper, there is no romantic Jily in this story. Full stop. If you are a Jeguily shipper, that isn't part of this dynamic either. There is a lot of platonic love between friends but James and Regulus are totally exclusive to each other. *Me breathing a huge sigh of relief.*

I often find myself getting very emotional reading Marauders fanfiction (writing is no different, my characters cry often and it's because I'm barely holding it together writing, if I'm crying they are too). And even though knowing certain things ahead of time ruins the anticipation, for me there is good anticipation and bad anticipation. Sometimes I just want assurance the characters I adore get to love each other fully. To stand in the fire together. I'd rather watch them both burn because to me, these ships are fate. They exist in all the empty spaces of canon. They live together in the stars. They are eternal.

Achilles Come Down is Regulus coded and I can PROVE IT!!

Okay so I have literally never posted anything on the site, I literally just exist as a ghost that likes silly funny things, but I have been inspired so severely and I physically can’t not say something.

Picture this.

I was driving my car, minding my own business and absolutely vibing, when all of a sudden a song auto-plays that I haven’t heard in like, three years.

‘Achilles Come Down’ by the band ‘Gang of Youths’ hit me like an emotional truck, and outside of how beautiful that song is on its own (literally if you haven’t heard where have you been go listen to it NOW) that silly little fandom worm we all know wiggled its way into my brain and gave me the most violent fanon idea I’ve ever had.

*Ahem*In this essay, I will explain how ‘Achilles Come Down’ is a perfect representation of Regulus Black and his relationships with Sirius, James, and his parents, as well as his inner turmoil as a character.

Okay, so to start, we are running on the idea that James and Regulus have or at least had a relationship in some capacity. I will accept one-sided feelings on James’ part, mutual feelings but never official, or officially together for any stretch of time. If you are not a Jegulus shipper, your mom’s a hoe, but you can enjoy the familial aspects at least, so there you go.

Beginning with the song as a whole, there are three voices we hear singing at different moments throughout the song, each with their own intention and influence on the song’s subject. Within the song's narrative, we listen as Patroclus tries to inspire Achilles to fight for his own life and push through his hardships, while Hector tries to poison Achilles' mind with self-doubt and despair.

As I mentioned though, there is a third voice that appears throughout the song that speaks French in the time between the characters fighting over Achilles’ well-being and the chorus. This character’s identity is unknown as far as I can tell, but his narration is far more metaphorical regardless and we’re not gonna get into that until later(though each instance will be numbered for later reference), in the meantime, we can move on to the lyrics and how this is so incredible Regulus coded and how I KNOW I’m right.

The song starts with the opening lines:

Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down - Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? - You're scaring us and all of us, some of us love you - Achilles, it's not much but there's proof - You crazy-assed cosmonaut, remember your virtue - Redemption lies plainly in truth - Just humor us, Achilles, Achilles, come down - Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

Now this first stanza reads to me as an emotional James, trying to convince Regulus that there is still time to join him and Sirius and the other marauders and to get away from his parents/Voldemort. Perhaps at this time, Regulus is feeling like it’s too late, maybe he already has the dark mark, but James is begging him to understand that it’s okay, and he still has time to make the right decision.

After a few lines in French (1) from our third voice, the original voice continues:

Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, come down - Won't you get up off, get up off the roof? - The self is not so weightless, nor whole and unbroken - Remember the pact of our youth - Where you go, I'm going, so jump and I'm jumping - Since there is no me without you - Soldier on, Achilles, Achilles, come down - Won't you get up off, get up off the roof?

At this point, I still believe this is James, becoming even more desperate to save Regulus and bringing up their time at Hogwarts and the relationship they had at that time. Now, I personally believe they would still be together in the context of the song, but it works from multiple angles, playing at possibly a past relationship that’s now over but still treasured, or a one-sided thing for James where he’s still trying to reach Regulus in a way he never could. Regardless, this is James’ hail-mary, saying if you do this, you will leave me empty; an attempt at reaching Regulus emotionally, even if that means threatening his own well-being.

From here we move on to the chorus:

Loathe the way they light candles in Rome - But love the sweet air of the votives - Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone - Engage with the pain as a motive

Today, of all days, see - How the most dangerous thing is to love - How you will heal and you'll rise above

Now this is clearly James and Sirius (and whoever else you want on the side of goodness) reaching out to Regulus, but the first half gets a little tricky. I’ve taken it to mean Regulus loathes the way they do things with the order of the phoenix and Dumbledore, but loves the grace, safety, and love they show. (this is related to hating what Rome is doing ((lighting the candles)) but loving the results ((the sweet smell))) They call out to him saying “you will hurt to leave what you know, and you will be afraid but you don’t have to be alone in this. We are fighting because of the pain they have caused you and everyone else.”

The second half of the chorus is much simpler, speaking to how literally the WHOLE THING in ‘Harry Potter’ as a franchise is that love concurs all, and that while it would be dangerous to leave the dark side, he can heal and rise above his family and history through ~the power of love~.

After some more of our French gentleman(2), we hear from our second voice:

Achilles, Achilles, Achilles, jump now - You are absent of cause or excuse - So self-indulgent and self-referential - No audience could ever want you - You crave the applause yet hate the attention - Then miss it, your act is a ruse - It is empty, Achilles, so end it all now - It's a pointless resistance for you

This is Regulus’ parents, discouraging their son from following in his brother's footsteps in their terrible parenting way. Speaking of how he would be selfish to leave, how Sirius would never want to see him again anyway, and how it would be pointless to fight what they have already predetermined for his life.

A little more French(3), and then we’re back to the original voice:

Achilles, Achilles, just put down the bottle - Don't listen to what you've consumed - It's chaos, confusion and wholly unworthy - Of feeding and it's wholly untrue - You may feel no purpose nor a point for existing - It's all just conjecture and gloom - And there may not be meaning, so find one and seize it - Do not waste yourself on this roof

Now THIS is Sirius talking. He argues against his parents' negative influence and tries to convince Regulus that everything they’re saying is a lie. He then relates to Regulus, referring to his own experience of leaving the family and how he felt hopeless and lost, but calling Regulus to action to find meaning outside of his family (cough* James *cough) and push forward, not letting the family and Voldemort waste his life.

We then hear an updated chorus:

Hear those bells ring deep in the soul - Chiming away for a moment - Feel your breath course frankly below - And see life as a worthy opponent

Today, of all days, see - How the most dangerous thing is to love - How you will heal and you'll rise above - Crowned by an overture bold and beyond - Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

Not much to say here tbh. I don’t have any strong feelings on a different interpretation one way or another, other than the fact that ‘it’s more courageous to overcome’, is something Sirius was able to do while Regulus, unfortunately, couldn’t, and maybe this was destined, as Sirius was a Griffandor and Regulus (in my opinion) actively fought being placed in his brother's house and thus, couldn’t show his true courage until the cave.

A tiny more French(4), and then THE moment the fight comes to a head (note that the ‘good’ voice is the one in parentheses and/or italicized):

You want the acclaim, the mother of mothers (it's not worth it, Achilles)

More poignant than fame or the taste of another (don't listen, Achilles)

But be real and just jump, you dense motherf#cker (you're worth more, Achilles)

You will not be more than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)

You want my opinion, my opinion you've got (no one asked your opinion)

You asked for my counsel, I gave you my thoughts (no one asked for your thoughts)

Be done with this now and jump off the roof (be done with this now and get off the roof)

Can you hear me, Achilles? I'm talking to you

I'm talking to you

I'm talking to you

I'm talking to you

Achilles, come down

Achilles, come down

This is very dense, but I think the obvious back and forth of the voices speaks as well as it can to the fight of good vs evil in Regulus’ mind as he tries to grapple with what he wants and knows is right vs the pressure of the dark side and the fear of its wrath. I DO especially like the line about being more than a rat, simply because of the symbolism with Pettigrew and how Sirius/James are reaching out and trying to save Regulus, all the while, their friend is being swept away as well.

A bit more French(5) and then the last iteration of the chorus:

Throw yourself into the unknown - With pace and a fury defiant - Clothe yourself in beauty untold - And see life as a means to a triumph

Today, of all days, see - How the most dangerous thing is to love - How you will heal and you'll rise above - Crowned by an overture bold and beyond - Ah, it's more courageous to overcome

This last bit, when listened to with Regulus in mind, comes across as very hopeful. Throw yourself into this unknown, but safer reality, do it ferociously and courageously, and surround yourself in the light of these good people who want to help you. See that your life is not condemned, you can live to be happy for yourself.

Whoa! That was a lot my friends, but now that that's settled, let's get into this FRENCH! (also the fact that they speak French, it’s literally too perfect) I’m just going to translate and do all of it in one big chunk for clarity and also this is already a mile long😅.

I see that many people die because they believe that life is not worth living. I see others, who are paradoxically killed for ideas For illusions, which give them a reason to live (What we call a reason to live is at the same time an excellent reason to die).

Of a building manager who had killed himself it was once said that he had lost his daughter five years ago, that he had changed a lot since then, and that this experience had changed him

What triggers the crisis is almost always uncontrollable. The newspapers often speak of “intimate sorrows” or “incurable illness”. These explanations are valid. But we should know if, on the same day, a friend of the desperate person did not speak to him in an indifferent tone.

The memories of a lost homeland, the hope of a promised land. This divorce between the man of his life, the actor and his setting, is properly the feeling of absurdity.

Either yes or no. this would be too easy. But we must make allowance for those who, without concluding, always question. Here, I am hardly being ironic, this is the majority. I also see that those who answer “no” act as if they thought “yes”.

Now, if you just read that all and were like, WTH girl, what even was that? Well, let me tell you! Every instance of French in the song is an excerpt from ‘The Myth of Sisyphus’, a book written way back in 1942. Why does this matter? In all honesty, it kinda doesn’t😅. Sisyphus was a king who figured out how to cheat death so everyone could live forever, and it SUPER ticked off the gods, so now he’s stuck rolling a boulder up a hill forever and ever.

I have racked my brain trying to tie this into the Regulus stuff, but it’s just not working so now you just get to know what the French stuff is about and that’s gonna have to be good enough, I’m afraid😂

ANYWAY, with everything combed through and all the parallels pointed out, I hope you can go listen to this song with new ears and get on my wavelength about it! Enjoy your life, you know, drink some water, viva la vida loca and all that.

TLDR; I’ve decided ‘Achilles Come Down’ is the perfect depiction of Regulus trying to get away from his parents' harmful ideations while being called to by Sirius/James who are attempting to save him.

[made-by-moon]

I prefer Jily over Jegulus.

WAIT! HEAR ME OUT!

I don’t have anything against Jegulus or its shippers. Do what you do and keep slaying with these fics and fanart.

HOWEVER I love the idea of Lily and James being the og healthy ally heteronormative couple. They would be the parents of them all. I also love the idea of both of them being bisexual and having late night talks about their celebrity crushes ect.

Regulus, in my opinion and lil headcanon in my head, is a perfect character to be aroace. I NEED THIS REPRESENTATION PLEASE.

I am sick of aroace characters being all sweet and innocent and ehhhh. I need a badass, hot and traumatized aroace.

001 starcest ⭐️

Oh, my babies.

001 | send me a ship and I will tell you:

when I started shipping it if I did: Like 20 years ago, they were one of my first HP ships alongside Sirry (I read so much on HP Literotica back then, lol). They were also my first incest and the first HP ship I finally wrote this year, so, nostalgia.

my thoughts: These two are everything that makes a brother ship so fucking delicious (granted, I wouldn’t turn down a wider age gap, but the closeness in age does have its perks). Shared childhood trauma, pureblood expectations, all the forces of the universe working to drive them apart. There is so much juicy innate conflict, from their personalities to their sortings to their ideologies. Sirius is brash where Reggie is subdued. Sirius fights where Regulus cowers. Sirius rebels, Regulus obeys. That said, I do enjoy more aggressive/assertive characterizations of Reg, too. But I think his betrayal of Voldemort was probably the first time he broke away from his parents’ ideals / thought for himself and was brave enough to act on it, and the fact that Sirius wasn’t there to see it is just devastating. He would’ve been so proud.

What makes me happy about them: I see them very close and very sheltered growing up, so for all Sirius’ curated rebellion, he and Reg share a lot of similarities. They’ve got that sort of ride-or-die bond but in a toxic way, like neither of them experienced love so they’re sorta building the plane (or in this case broom) as they’re flying it? I think they’d see possession as love, and it may not be healthy but it makes for some damn delicious shipping. They share a sense of humor, too, no matter how serious Reggie pretends to be.

What makes me sad about them: ESTRANGEMENT, BETRAYAL, PRISON, DEATH.

things I look for in fanfic: I think this post pretty well covers it! I love jealousy between them, I love protective Sirius, I love Reg feeling replaced by James, I love the unbreakable bond and (as with all incest ships) both being ashamed of their feelings to the point it almost destroys them before they finally explode and admit to each other. On a lighter note, I also think they have like, Drarry-level banter potential, which is why I especially enjoy them from a humorous angle.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: I’ll give one to the Jegulus shippers. :P Honestly, there’s no one I can plausibly imagine Reg ending up with, but Sirius of course goes to Harry, or before him, Remus. Much as I love Prongsfoot, fate does not.

My happily ever after for them: They don’t have one. :( I suppose you could operate under the premise that Reg never died but went into hiding (or was trapped somewhere all those years), and when he comes back, they reconcile. But it would have to be Starcest/Harry OT3 because, well, it’s me.

who is the big spoon/little spoon: Same answer as here. ^_^

what is their favorite non-sexual activity: I think they’d play (“play” being a generous term) the most vicious pickup Quidditch. I imagine them playing music together, I think they were raised with the classics and maybe Sirius teaches him guitar later on. And I bet they like to gossip, but like, in French. Leftover childhood habit. There was a post about it once and it became my new HC, like they’ll just sit in the common room aggressively going off in French and onlookers think they’re having some sort of heated intellectual debate but really it’s just did you fucking see Abbott’s new haircut?! Who gave the giant squid a pair of scissors?

[atlasdoe]

hello, i am bored. here are some unpopular opinions that may very well get me cancelled if i posted this on tiktok

do not read if you know youre going to get mad if i say something you disagree with

the over feminisation and over-aggressive characterisations of sirius and remus are so left field it makes my eye twitch. like if you wanna write them like that then fine but don't tell me that one scene of sirius wearing something nice and one scene of remus throwing harry up a wall (while he's in the middle of like a twenty year war with all of his friends dead mind you) means that they were as people are interpreting them in cannon

the fandom isn't misogynistic. you just want everyone to care about the same characters the way you do despite the fact that very little of them (especially the girls really besides lily and the black sisters) have any character/story to care about to begin with

on that same note, it is not wolfstar and jegulus' shippers job to write dorlene and marylily fics. there are over 6000 fics tagged under dorlene and over 2000 for marylily which is really impressive and a really big number for ships containing two people who don't have any connection to one another

we cannot blame every death on dumbledore. dumbledore was manipulative and not a very good person but he wasn't out here deliberately getting all the people on his side killed

this fandom is obsessed with tragedy so much that tragedy has now become repetitive and boring. i love a good sad story but what is the point in taking every single character and making them live the worst life possible. its like yall are only capable in caring for a character if they have literally the worst ending ever

the marauders weren't child soldiers. They were young but they weren't children.

on the same note just because barty, evan and peter (and any other death eater) was young does not excuse them of their actions. I'm 20 and I know that i wouldn't betray all of my friends or help torture new parents into insanity

deciding that pandora somehow had to be a part of a death eater family was the worst thing this fandom did to her character

it pisses me off when the fandom will bend over backwards to try to connect the same 12 characters to every headcannon imaginable when there are so many other characters that you could use

despite this tho i hate the whole "ravenpuff" thing. As someone who actually cares about Emmeline, Edgar, Fabian, Gideon, Amelia, Benjy, Caradoc and all of that it annoys me to no end when the only time people post about them is to shove them all into the two least cared about houses and decides that they were all friends while giving them the most uncreative name out there. if you dont care about them then dont post about them

marlene is the most overrated character in the fandom

james and marlene being childhood best friends is my least favourite headcannon

mary obliviating herself is the worst headcannon

remus lupin is a bottom

sirius black is tall

marlene being in ravenclaw > marlene being in gryffindor

this fandom really needs to remember that barty and evan were villains. if you like them then that's completely fine but stop trying to make them secretly good

i can only ship sirius with remus but i can ship remus with literally anyone (so long as they are actually his age or older. for some reason i cant ship remus with people who are over a year younger then him)

i dont think its fair to say that if you like regulus then you cant shit on snape stans but it is utterly unfair to stan barty and evan but shit on snape stans

fancasting and commenting on normal peoples tiktoks is stupid and embarrassing. we are HATED by other fandoms and is it because we are unable to stay in our lane. stop getting into other peoples buisness by commenting "REMUS LUPIN" under a Spiderman edit

james would not have stopped talking to sirius after the prank. He'd be mad at him and he'd tell him off but he wouldn't stop talking to him. If James had to pick between Sirius and anyone he's picking Sirius

on that note i think the only people who weren't talking to sirius after the prank was remus and lily. mostly because i dont think anyone other then the marauders and lily would even have known that remus was a werewolf at the time

ALSO evan, barty and regulus would not befriend remus after the prank. firstly they wouldnt care and even if they did they would be more likely to abuse the fact that they know about him being a werewolf

im sick of seeing people try to shame others for shipping wolfstar but not marylily because "theyre the same ship." theyre literally not. just because YOU hc mary and lily to have a similar dynamic as remus and sirius doesnt mean that theyre the same and doesnt mean that everyone else should think so to. Same with literally every other ship that gets compared to another based on headcannons

this is getting really long so imma leave it there

[siriusblackdevotee]

Ranting about Romantic Prongsfoot or Prongsfoot in general??

I saw someone post saying romantic Prongsfoot is basically incest. I sighed then scrolled. Was that so hard? Seeing an opinion you don't like, and then just moving on? Because that's exactly what romantic Prongsfoot is, an opinion.

The fandom analyzed canon Sirius's behavior, actions and dialogue when it involved James and we all pretty much came to the conclusion that Sirius's entire world revolved around James. Like a dog, a man's best friend, he was incredibly loyal and devoted to James.

Then, some of us decided to take a step further and made them soulmates in a platonic sense. Not best friends, brothers, but soulmates. Like we're talking Viktor and Jayce level.

That's like the one thing wolfstar, Jegulus and Prongsfoot shippers have in common; James and Sirius are soulmates. Or even something deeper if you want to take a step further. All the famous fanfics have this, where James and Sirius have Something between them, even if it's a Jegulus or wolfstar fanfic.

That's why some of you feel like romantic Prongsfoot is incest. Because most fanfics have written them as brothers, you're reading two characters that are portrayed as brothers so often, you start to perceive them as brothers. You think they're brothers.

And you're allowed to! No like, you're very allowed to. Can I emphasize again, how often fanfics portray them as brothers? Like genuinely, no one's stopping you.

But you have to understand, that's your perspective, your view, your opinion. It's not a fact because they are not brothers. They are close as brothers yes, but not actually.

They don't have a ragbros situation. Sirius wasn't adopted into the Potter family at 8 or something and then raised by them after. That's probably incest. I have an adopted brother, I do know.

He was adopted into the family at 16. You're considered an adult at 18 in the wizarding world. He had inheritance from his uncle Alphard. It's said he moved out on his own later.

All this implies Sirius didn't live that long with Potters. I'm not saying Sirius didn't develop a familial bond with the Potters because he was too old during the adoption. He probably did see Euphimia and Monty as his parents at some point.

But he was James' best friend so much longer than their son. A couple of limited years with the Potters is nothing compared to the 5+ years he spent being James' best friend. I say limited because he keeps being that best friend even after he moved out.

That bond, if you want, can be solidified into something sibling-level after the adoption. You can have your headcanons, fantasies and fanfics where Sirius runs away to a healthier, welcoming family!!

But I don't think their bond could just change like that?? Again, around 5+ years of having this special connection, where they are used to living together, sharing the same space, being glued to each other, why would being adopted into the family change anything between them?? Besides like, getting yelled at together by James' parents, their routine would have stayed the same.

And you're telling me I CANT romanticize that?? Because YOU see them as brothers??? When they're so much deeper than that???

Would it not have solidified it more?? Would it not have gotten deeper?? Especially when they have privacy now.

Like you can't tell me they weren't having conversations where they bared their souls to each other, diving in and revealing the ugliest parts to each other, deepest fears, insecurities, quite literally breaking themselves down into pieces because it's just them there and then putting those pieces back together, glued with loving words and gentle touches because it's them. Or fucking. Up to y'all idk.

I'm going off the rails. The point is, you can dislike, like, hate, love ships for whatever reasons, I genuinely don't care. But if you're hating on a ship because you FEEL like it's incest, please just keep it to yourself. No one wants to be told their favorite ship reminds you of incest.

Again, tagging filters exist, I don't consider prongsfoot a rarepair but it's true people rarely write them. You literally cannot accidentally stumble upon prongsfoot fanfics and literally no one's forcing you to read them??

Prongsfoot is like the least problematic thing in this fandom?? And its barely problematic!! People ship ACTUAL incest!! Like starcest!! (...good for them but also like...)

calling prongsfoot incest when actual incest ships exists is insane.

The Jegulus fans on the Marauders sub-Reddit constantly crying about how non-Jegulus fans are ruining their fun are driving me up the wall. Like, I swear that at least 50% (if not more) of the posts on that subreddit are people raving about Regulus and Jegulus fics and people looking for Jegulus recs, and nobody is going into those posts and telling them that they shouldn’t like Jegulus. Nobody is ruining their fun.

The only time the Jegulus-haters come out and argue is when the Jegulus shippers start posts claiming that Jegulus is “canon compliant” or “Jegulus could have been canon” or “this is a realistic take on Jegulus” or “we don’t know enough about Regulus to say that he willingly became a Death Eater” or “we don’t know enough about James to say that he would never date Regulus”. Posting that kind of stuff on Reddit is opening a discussion. It’s asking for arguments. If the only interaction you can handle is praise and agreement, then Reddit is not the place for you.

Sometimes I feel like they should just rename it the “We love Jegulus” sub and call it what it is, because it really does not feel like a community that is open to all Marauders’ fans and opinions.

THANK YOU!!

I do not understand why is it so damn difficult for them to accept Jegulus is a crackship, a fanon creation that could never, under no circumstance happen in canon and, at the same time, continue to enjoy their ship and the copious amount of content they currently have on it.

However, they constantly feel this need to argue with people who don't like Jegulus, to make these ridiculous attempts at explaining how Jegulus could have been canon, just this overwhelming need to shove it down everyone's throats. And then play the victim when people, mostly older fans who lean more towards canon-compliant content, call them out on their bullshit. This relates to what I have said time and time again, which is the fact this fandom has a gigantic problem with separating canon from fanon and are constantly engaging in canon-related discourses with their headcanons and fanon ideas.

"James would have empathy for Regulus' situation and would have tried to change him." Now, this is my personal opinion based on what we know of these characters in the books but Regulus would be probably one of the people James would have the least empathy for. At least during his teens, James sees the world as very black and white. Good vs evil. He's openly against the dark arts, blood supremacy and has a distaste for Slytherins from the start. James is best friends with Regulus' brother. Sirius was raised the exact same way as Regulus and yet, at age 11, when he meets James, without any outside influence, we see that Sirius already realises his parents' views are bullshit and is starting to go against. James has first-hand experience with someone who was raised in the same household as Regulus, the exact same way and yet he knows that being a pure-blood supremacist and a DE wannabe is wrong. This would probably make him think even less of Regulus. Because if Sirius can see through the bullshit on his own, why can't Regulus? Why does Regulus need someone to hold his hand through unlearning is bigotry? He has a functioning brain AND two examples in his brother and cousin. Let's be serious...

Possible Fanfiction??

Throughout my entire life, I have always loved writing and for most of that time, I have been utterly obsessed with the Marauders. I want to write fanfiction, I have in the past but mostly for only myself and maybe a few other people. I want to write fanfiction... and I have an idea but I want to make sure it is something that people would read or that people find interesting.

First and foremost I want to do a multiship kind of thing and at the moment Jegulus has been swarming my mind so it will probably centralize that but that doesn't mean there won't be other prominent ships within my writing. I am also a huge Wolfstar shipper; as is everyone else. I also would like to include ships such as Mary and Lily, Barty and Evan, and Marlene and Dorcas (all of them are my favorites and if you don't like them I am sorry but I won't be able to delve into a story I am not 100% invested in) I know that these ships are basic but... basic is comforting to me.

Anyway, to the actual fanfiction idea. I want to do a Bridgerton AU. I was playing around with how I would want to do this in my head and obviously I am not going to be revealing everything but... I think it could work really well. I love very detailed metaphorical writing and I really wanna bring on the sappy romantic angsty torture. I am thinking of dividing up the ships just as the Bridgerton books are where every season focus' on a new ship. I would like to initially focus on Jegulus in the beginning but there will be an introduction to each of the ships in the first season for sure.

Obviously, some things are going to need to change which would make it historically inaccurate. Not that Bridgerton is historically accurate but by any means. The changes that are going to have to be made is who is eligible to be the diamond of the season and I think I am going to change it to whoever the family elects for that season the one running through. Obviously, some of these decisions are based on age but as for gender if a mother needs a head of the house than her son will not be eligible to become a diamond. James is an only child and therefore will not be able to become a diamond as he is required to learn how to take care of the house. Effy and Monty will have no choice but to remain diamondless- As for the house of the Blacks, Sirius through Walburga's opinion is nowhere near diamond material and therefore the responsibility gets passed to Regulus. Sirius and James would have traditionally been within the same season but because of Sirius' parents' belief, Regulus will be the one searching for a true love match. I also think it's going to be super fun to mess around with the whole Lady Whistledown situation.

PLEASE, if you see this tell me if you would be interested. If anyone says that would read it I will start figuring out the details of the first season. I am literally so excited about this and would love nothing more than other people's support for it.

Hello! I really like your account!

I'm quite a newbie in jegulus and drarry fandoms (not in a hp though). So I would really appreciate if you as a more experienced shipper of these pairings recommend me some fics.

And it would be extremely wonderful if there are some fics that similar to these descriptions:

Rewriting canon story of the sixth year in Hogwarts and the war but in the spotlight of drarry relationship.

And if only Lilly was killed and James stayed the only parent of Harry and Reg helping him with parenting.

That's all my fantasies and I'm not sure if something like this was ever written (just is so painful when you make up a perfect fic with really fitted plot for a ship and this fic doesn't exist haha).

I really want to read your recommendations anyway, but in the case you help me to find smth like mentioned above I will very happy and definitely start dancing a winning dance.

Sorry for disturbing and thank you in advance!

Thank you so much for the ask!

I, unfortunately, do not think I’ve come across any fanfics like this, but if anyone does, please reply to this ask to recommend some fics like the description above❤️

i am being so fr rn i genuinely do not understand where the idea that jegulus shippers HATE lily evans came from

i totally get resenting the fact that jegulus fics often somewhat push lily off to the side i think it sucks when she gets less page time bc she’s not w/ james

however! the idea that jegulus fics are full of lily evans bashing seems very bizarre to me….. like i believe i’ve read most of the most popular jegulus fics & i have just never come across anything like that

my fave (& i think like arguably two of the most popular) jegulus authors are zar & solmussa who both adore lily! like i think it’s comes through so clearly in their writing that they really enjoy writing about her & finding creative ways to show how wonderful she is outside of just a relationship w/ james

i just saw a tiktok w/ the therese trend that was like “the fandom will see lily evans as not being a good mother to harry just so jegulus can be parents” & then all the comments are like i hate jegulus shippers! who would say that😡

& i’m just reading it like girl idk who said that???? like genuinely who ever said that😭😭😭

i also constantly see ppl say jegulus shippers use lily as just a surrogate so jegulus can raise harry & i assume that exists but again i have read A LOT of jegulus fics & have never read ab that happening. i mean i’ve read ab lily & james not being together but still co-parenting harry but that is so not what that means! i mean right?? again i’m sure fics where she is just their surrogate exist but ppl rlly act like it’s this huge problem in the fandom but i’m so sorry unless i’m missing something that is just not a common occurrence

i think there are definitely valid criticisms out there about jegulus & also it’s totally fair if people just really don’t want jily broken up! like if wolfstar got broken up all the time for a different pairing i would be depressed! but i just think it’s wild the things people choose to criticize when it comes to jegulus shippers…….

anyway i love jily & i love jegulus yippeeeeee🫶🏻
