#regulus black defender

On Parallels

Harry and Regulus have a surprising amount of things in common, most often noted is how they both left school at 17 to destroy Horocrux's.

However my favorite thing is how they both disappointed Sirius by not being James.

Just saw someone tag a anti-Regulus post with “#rab kys” and I-

Isn’t that exactly what he did… in order to destroy Voldemort’s Horcrux to make sure the Wizarding World was one step closer to defeat Voldemort?? 😭😭😭 Have y’all lost your minds???

"you can't defend regulus and not defend snape"

actually, yes, i can. watch me.

snape was a child abuser, who regularly insulted, embarrassed and physically injured his students on a daily basis. he only was part of the order bc he had an unhealthy obsession with his childhood bestfriend, who he called a slur on several occasions. who he, on top of trying to kill her husband, didn't care about her child or family until her life was in danger. he only became "good" when the woman who had rejected him several times might have been injured. he was such a terrible teacher and human being, that one of his student's BIGGEST FEAR was him. he was racist and a blood supremecist, even though he was a half a blood himself. he was not "morally gray", he was a horrible person.

regulus black was forced to become a death eater by his family, and in the end, betrayed voldemort and gave up his life to try to end the war. he loved his house elf, and did everything to make sure kreacher made it out alive. he was not an abuser, he was the abused.

so, yes, i can defend regulus and not defend snape.

marauders era, incorrect quote

James: did you have to stab him?

Regulus: you weren’t there. You didn’t hear what he said to me.

James: what did he say?

Regulus: what are you going to do? Stab me?

James:

Sirius, nodding: that’s fair

I love imagining that Sirius and his older brother instincts don’t approve of Bartylus because he views barty as the ‘asshole boyfriend tm’ but he’s like objectively wrong.

Like he hates Barty and sees him as a bad influence on his little brother with his tattoos and piercings and vulgarity and shit and also views Barty as like a player who doesn’t actually value regulus, but like none of that is true is at all.

Like, if anything, regulus is the bad influence. Barty comes from a light magic, muggle defending, gated community, I fully believe that regulus played a large role in making him crazy and embracing the dark. Also yes barty is vulgar and sounds like a pervert with how open he is with sexual jokes and shit but regulus is a fucking freak. He runs the crazy shit that goes on in that bedroom. And barty has teh player persona in a way, but it’s very easy to see that he’s not. Like he’s attractive but he’s not good with people, he doesn’t flirt with strangers, even if he did people are scared of him, and he’s so clearly devoted to regulus it’s actually crazy. Like there’s never a moment when they’re together where Barty isn’t hanging off of him with the most clearly love crazed eyes anyone has ever seen. And when they’re not together he’s just complaining teh whole time about hwo it’s been a million years since he’s felt his lovers embrace and he’s honestly so annoying about it that it’s a wonder anyone puts up with him.

But yeah I just think Sirius is the best unreliable narrator when it comes to regulus and his life because he has this very specific image of Regulus that both demonizes his every action to be vindictive against himself or keeps him as this innocent baby boy that does no wrong and it’s just his crazy boyfriend ruining him. Both of which are wrong but I don’t think Sirius is the type to take that information lightly.

But Barty hates Sirius back for everything he refuses to acknowledge he did to regulus so it’s fine, they’re even. And regulus could not care less what Sirius thinks of Barty because he lost the right to judge things like his partners and friends when he left, and he just doesn’t get Barty.

Beyond the Fan Theories: Insights from J.K. Rowling’s

I see bizarre fan theories and headcanons about Severus Snape every day that never happened in the books. The problem is, these headcanons are repeated so often that some Harry Potter fans believe them and forget that they are just fan fiction and not the truth. Therefore, I am sharing this old interview with Rowling to remind of some facts.

1. Like many insecure, vulnerable people (such as Wormtail),Snape craved membership in something big and powerful, something impressive: It’s interesting that 17 years have passed since Rowling's response, yet many people still believe Snape joined the Death Eaters because he was a sadistic, racist, antisocial person who wanted to harm people and use dark magic to destroy Muggles and Muggle-borns.!!! However, the writer believes Snape's goal was not to kill and torture Muggle-borns, nor was it racism. He was a poor, insecure, and damaged youth who had never known security or peace in his life. His childhood was a nightmare, and his adolescence was filled with humiliation and bullying. He was seeking acceptance and thought that becoming a Death Eater would give him power, attractiveness, and a family that he never had. However, it is clear that these factors led him to make a big mistake.

2. He never really understood Lily's aversion: Severus Snape didn’t want to harm or retaliate against her. He was simply blinded and misled, so foolish and ignorant that he didn’t realize how deep and serious Lily’s hatred for dark magic and the Death Eaters was. He believed that becoming a Death Eater would make him so powerful and captivating that Lily would be influenced and change her beliefs, convinced that dark magic was extremely attractive, potent, and intriguing.

3. Given his time over again, he would not have become a Death Eater: This sentence shows that he has truly changed. Rowling claims that if Snape had a second chance, he would never join the Death Eaters again. Snape's genuine regret is that, starting at the age of 20, he attempted to make amends for his past actions until the time of his death. He refused to make the same mistake again, unlike Wormtail, who eagerly returned to serve Voldemort when given the opportunity.

4. Like Snape, Harry is flawed and mortal: Do those who see Snape as the story's villain and an unforgivable character understand that, in the author's opinion, Harry is also like Snape? Do they understand that Harry can be flawed and potentially harm others? Harry is never described as a saint. He tortures someone and uses unforgivable curses; he can be arrogant and aggressive while remaining brave and heroic. Snape is flawed and mortal, just like Harry. He makes many mistakes, but in the end, he remains brave and self-sacrificing, and, like Harry, he saves many people's lives.

5. James always suspected Snape harbored deeper feelings for Lily, which was a factor in James' behavior toward Snape: Listen, this is one of the reasons James Potter had for bullying Severus Snape for seven years. Please refrain from saying things like, “Snape was bullied because he joined the Death Eaters” or “because he was interested in dark magic,” as none of these reasons are canonical. These reasons belong to James Potter’s fans, not James Potter himself. The author of the book has clearly explained James Potter’s motives. James Potter just had two reasons for bullying a person for many years:

_He existed (in a way that was ugly and poor). _He was close friends with Lily Evans.

6. It was Voldemort's attempted murder of Kreacher that really turned him: Isn't a change to save a living being's life familiar? I don't understand why Snape's change for Lily's salvation is seen as demonic motivation, whereas Regulus's change for Kreacher is considered epic. Recently, in fan fiction, Regulus has become the little knight of the Black family, whose parents tortured him so much that he is forced to join the Death Eaters and then rebel against Voldemort's ideology to eradicate racism in the wizarding world. But Snape's efforts, sacrifices, loyalty, and spying over the course of 19 years are reduced to being a loser obsessed with a dead woman!!! Such double standards are embarrassing.

I'm curious: If Regulus Black were not Sirius Black's brother and not from a pureblood family, and Voldemort had killed Kreacher while Regulus survived and fought Voldemort, how would fans react to Regulus? How ridiculous would it be to say, "Oh, Regulus Black? He is simply a deviant who was obsessed with his dead elf"?

"Please do not change the characters based on personal preferences and instead see them as written. The writer uses Lily's and Kreacher's salvation as symbols of redemption to demonstrate the characters' growth and maturation. If the concept of love, loyalty, and friendship has changed over time among new generations, this is not the fault of Severus Snape."

If you like Regulus, Barty and Evan and hate Peter pls dni because that is just undefendable XOXO

[iliketoreadstuf]

i mean this in the nicest way possible but jegulus and solangelo are not variants of each other i’m sorry

[impossible3girl]

Barty Crouch Jr. and Regulus Black becoming death eaters because they both are some of the biggest Voldemort Fanboys. With no canon proof of them ever not being things like blood supremacists.

Marauders Stans: Uwwwww cute boys.

Snape following Voldemort because he thought he had no other place to belong but seeing his mistake and therfor doing everything to undo his wrongs. With canon proof that he changed his belifes about blood status and other things.

Marauders Stans: He is the only irredeemable character and all his fans are racists and god knows what.

They are such hypocryts.
