#sirius is better than regulus

[ifyouknowmenahyoudontt]

i find it so funny that the fandom decided that padfoot was shortened to PADS. and everyone just accepted it

can you imagine james introducing sirius like

“hey this is my brother his name is sirius but we call him tampon😍”

or like snape being like “ this is my sworn enemy they call him diva cup 😡😡😡”

Sit down when I tell you this because some of you are dying on this hill and it’s just wrong.

Harry Potter is, under no circumstances, the Regulus Black of the Lightning Bolt Era.

Regulus: I don't really like people, but you're okay. I guess.

James: I'm your Boyfriend

Kids Regulus and Sirius hanging out in Grimmauld.

Regulus: What did you draw?

Sirius: A dog, and he's bored...

Sirius: What did you draw?

Regulus: A stick.

Sirius: A stick??

Regulus: A stick from the park WHERE U PROMISED TO TAKE ME TODAY

Do you guys remember the first time you read/watched Harry Potter and thought Snape was responsible for everything only to be hit in the stomach when you found out alongside the characters it was Quirrell all along?

Do you remember reading about Sirius Black escaping jail and wanting to murder Harry and do you remember being ready to throw hands at him? And then do you remember that sinking feeling when you realized he’d been wrongfully imprisoned for twelve years and was painted as the guilty one when it was Peter all along?

Do you remember hearing about the death eater Regulus Black, following in Voldemorts’ footsteps only to be hit with the crushing truth later, that he’d betrayed him and died doing so and no one knew about it and you had, yet again, judged him too harshly?

Do you remember hating Draco and progressively coming to understand the circumstances that led him to that?

Do you remember loving Dumbledore and realizing suddenly how badly he wronged Harry?

Do you ever think about those moments, and how we all judged those characters and fell into the easy trap? Time and time again? How easy it was to gulp down one version and not realize how biased it was?

I feel like if there’s one thing those books taught me it was to never get along with one version of a story. You can’t hear one side and admit it’s the final truth. You can’t judge someone through one lens and not admit it’s skewed. You can’t erase circumstances. You can’t shut out the other side of a story because one is sufficient for you.

If you want to crucify someone for something they did, remember all those times you were ready to crucify Snape, Sirius, Regulus, Draco and so on.

I’m not against holding people accountable for their actions, but I don’t want to get that sinking feeling of guilt that I had with characters on real human beings. And it is inhuman to hold one thing against someone’s head forever—especially when you don’t know the whole story.

We all make mistakes, we all fuck up, and we also, all have our own truth. And we’re also all capable of empathy towards others. 🖤

God knows I hate jkr with a passion but fuck if I love the message that was spread through those arcs.

regulus black deserves to be remembered and sirius would kill himself if it meant his little brother got to be happy now shut up and let me cry over them in peace you turds.

[unfortunately-lilith]

“Five hargreeves is the best regulus black variant” I say quietly into the microphone

the crowd boos at me

“Wait, she’s right” two voices in the crowd say in unison, they turn to look at each other, it’s Sirius black and klaus hargreeves.

(aaaa look at the tags)

[suncchaser]

I need Regulus stans to NEVER speak on Sirius again

[iamthemoonagedaydream]

Uhm so are we all just going to collectively brush over the fact that some poor bloke in crimson rivers is called Ryanair 😭 ?

[enbysiriusblack]

just realised horrid henry and perfect peter are literally sirius and regulus (+ james as ralph)

[ifyouknowmenahyoudontt]

the marauders fandom is the PERFECT exemple of performative activism.

yall make such a strong point about sexuality thinking it’s doing something while completely erasing the characters personality.

i don’t CARE that regulus black is gay in your eyes what matters is that HE WAS A PUREBLOOD SUPREMACIST. you use sexuality as a shield in a way that’s so counterproductive.

the point of all of this was to make barely existent characters deeper and more complex but it went off to make everyone dumbed down stereotypical version of barely themselves.

we all hate jkr right? but some of you go around erasing the only political aspect of the books for the sake of your little fetishized gay twink story.

you think you are so different from the rest of hp fans because you make characters gay but you ignore the racial and gender stereotypes aspects of everything. as a woman and a NON WHITE woman hearing people talking about their favourite ships and characters is WILD.

all of you put such an importance on being respectful to peoples opinions but only when it comes to sexuality. the moment someone criticizes your love for canonically racist little assholes that did so much damage instead of deepening characters that ARE CANONICALLY WHAT YOU MAKE FANON INTO you freak out and call them names.

the fight for the LGBTQ+ community is not singular. it goes hand in hand with many other fights like for racial equality and gender equality.

before you comment “ LeT pEOplE liVe” or “ In My HeadCaNonS theYre nOT liKE THAT” i don’t care about the me.me.me speech

i care about what you make popular. what had taken over the fandom and what is being seen by the younger audience that you make seem as normal

Chapter 50 of broken pieces of the night is now on AO3 🩷 only 12 chapters to go!

[starchaserdreams]

Screw Sirius being cool about jegulus/Starchaser, because when is he ever cool about anything?

Honestly he'd give BOTH of them the shovel talk.

Sirius: James, my brother has had a hard life and he's fragile and if you hurt him, so help me I'll shatter you into a million pieces to see how you like it.

Also Sirius: Regulus, my platonic soulmate has the sweetest, most kind and trusting heart and if you break his trust or his heart, I will not hesitate to bury you alive.

[skeletal-petals]

imagine lily 'took him faster than you can say sabotage' evans stealing james 'he was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches' potter from regulus 'there is nothing i do better than revenge' black.

the drama, the prank wars, sirius' choice.

(for the record i adore lily and never think she would do such a thing, nor james seem so 2d, but nevertheless the idea and breakdown of consequent relationships never fails to interest me)

[the-sun-is-also-a-star]

someone made a video about how it feels to be in a fandom where everyone confuses word count with quality

and i was like yes omg thats true

and then i go to the comments.

YOUR OPINION IS YOUR OPINION BUT LORD. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE IT.
