I Love The 'Jegulus Is Doomed And Jily Is Meant To Be' Thingy Because They Act Like Jily Isn't Doomed

If I see one more canon compliant fic update before my bookmarked ones do I’m gonna start biting people.

If one of my bookmarked fics updates in the next 24 hours I will kiss the author on the mouth, very passionately.

This is not a threat, but a promise.

I like the thought of the one time Regulus helps Sirius is the night Sirius leaves.

Like, Walburga and Sirius are having this raging fight and as usual Regulus sits by the stairs and waits for it to be over.

As the fight starts to get violent he can hear Sirius fight back (which only started that summer)

He thinks Sirius is stupid and is only making it worse but it doesn’t help the anxiety of knowing one of them will get hurt. He just wants it all to stop.

He hears someone crash to the ground while his mother is still screaming curses. He’s scared out of his mind but his mother’s curses are slowly getting more severe and Sirius isn’t responding. He slowly gets up and walks to the parlor.

He realizes that he can hear Sirius, but it’s just whimpers. He doesn’t think about it too hard though. He doesn’t think about how he doesn’t have his wand on him. He doesn’t think about how he’s supposed to wait by the stairs. He doesn’t think about it when he stands in front of Sirius for the first time and disarms his mother from across the room. Right before she could utter the unforgivable. Her wand disappears from her hand. Into oblivion, Reg hopes.

He wanted it to stop. So he made it stop. But now he needs time to start up again so he can get the fuck out of there.

Sirius is bruised from head to toe but Reg manages to get him up the stairs. Sirius is only half conscious but he has a purpose as he stops leaning on him at the top of the stairs and starts ransacking his room.

Sirius can’t believe it. Reg did it. He stood up to the old hag. He’d been waiting for the right time to leave and this is just perfect. He doesn’t bother with clothes, James will have plenty. He grabs his school things and all his pictures. Starting with one of him and James on his wall and slowly making his way to the one of Moony on his bedside table.

“Come on Reggie, get a move on” Sirius throws over his shoulder. Reg’s just been standing there in shock.

Regulus is still at the top of the stairs. He can hear Sirius’ scuffling around his room and his mother’s scrambling for her wand downstairs. The sounds are quiet but loud. Eerily similar to one another.

“What are you doing?”

“We’re getting out of here.”

“What do you mean?”

Sirius finishes packing and turns back to Regulus. “Come with me. To James’. We can get out of here. We can leave.”

Sirius looks manic as he grabs Reg and takes them to his room. Sirius starts to grab his stuff and shove it into his bag. He’s breathing heavily, trying to shove down the panic.

“I know we haven’t gotten on very well these last few years… but we can fix it all now. Help me get all your stuff.”

“We can’t leave.” Regulus stills Sirius’ hands with his own. “Are you crazy? Mum will have a fit if we leave.”

“She won’t be able to find us.”

“She’ll know where you went. He’s your best friend.” Regulus knows all too well how close James and Sirius are. Practically brothers, as they say.

“Reg,” Sirius is firmer now, “I’m leaving now. With or without you.”

Sirius makes his way to Regulus’ window. He just has to open the window and leave. “Sirius, don’t go.”

It’s Regulus’ turn to panic. “Just stay. I’m sure it’ll all be fine. If we just apologize-“

“No Reg. No more. I can’t stay here.” Sirius opens the window and begins to clime out.

Regulus grabs his hand. “Sirius please. Sirius just stay. Don’t go. It’ll all be fine, just stay, please. Sirius I’m so scared. » Regulus’ voice fades at the end, but Sirius hears it nonetheless. He grabs him and they wrap their arms around each other for the final time. « You’ll never be what they want you to be. They’ll never be satisfied. »

Regulus doesn’t answer. they always had differing opinions.

They pull back from each other but Sirius holds Regulus’ face, remembering the last time he saw him as his brother. « Goodbye, Reggie. »

Regulus wanted to say so much. Don’t go. Come back to me someday. Don’t let this be goodbye. Good luck. I can’t lose you.

I love you

« Goodbye, brother. »

Sirius would’ve grabbed Regulus and forced him out the window. He would’ve tried harder when James blocked the front door as he tried to go back for him. But Regulus had proven himself. He had shown that he could stand up to their mother.

That was the first time Regulus had stood up for what was right. The second time, well, I’m sure you can guess the second time, was the last time.

Wait, I thought we were all agreed that Reg’s a shithead and we’re just making fun of him. Like straight up I didn’t know people actually thought he was a good person.

I never knew people thought he was a better person than Sirius. Sounds like a Snape kinnie to me ngl. (No offense to Snape kinnies you do you)

To me he’s a morally grey person and I have my own reasons for that but I’ve never considered him better than Sirius. I wonder why people think that way.

How the hell can people think Regulus Black is a good person? I see so many fanfics and headcanons that he’s actually a good and sweet person, I see people saying that it’s canon that he’s a better person than Sirius because he treated a racist house-elf with respect. Like wtf? Did y’all miss the part where he idolized Voldemort and willingly joined the death eaters and was perfectly ok with murder and torture until he got personally effected? He’s giving Snape vibes and that’s not a good thing. How does that scream “good person” or “hero”? You’re a hero when your intentions are to help other people, not when it’s just to give Voldemort the invisible middle finger. Fuck Regulus and anyone that tries to claim that he’s a better person than Sirius can square up because wth.

The most well thought out analysis I’ve seen so far. Lightly touching upon each character (except for the Alaska group but who cares about them anyway), their arcs, and their relationships, and then moving into the problem with the marketing. All of it is amazing thank you for this.

Man, for a show I’ve fallen in love with and had so much anticipation for, I ended up kinda wishing I hadn’t watched vol2.

Spoilers and a huge rant under the cut

The whole time I was literally shaking with nerves about what was gonna happen to Eddie, to all of them. His last moments (the whole last two eps honestly) dragged on for what felt like hours. It wasn’t fun; it was nerve wracking. And yeah, maybe it’s my bad for getting so attached to a fictional character in a show where people die, but so what? He makes us happy in a time where things aren’t going super well, brought us comfort. If we can’t use fiction as an escape, what’s the point of it?

All that aside, I’m still disappointed about other things. El saying goodbye to Brenner and finding her strength was great, as was the whole thing with Hopper, but other than that? I spent the whole four hours dreading what was gonna happen. I feel like they took the whole “all hope is lost” thing way too far. Watching Lucas hold Max while she begged to die made me fucking sick, as did watching Eddie sacrifice himself. I hate this trend of having people guess who’s gonna die, it’s just sad. Lucas getting beaten up by Jason, who, yeah he died, but didn’t get what he deserved. He was grieving and deranged, and then he was nothing.

And like they touched on Steve’s character arc for a split second before taking ten steps back. I don’t believe that he wants to get back with Nancy because he keeps finding new people in his life, new experiences that change his worldview. Why go back to a girl that is hung up on someone else? This isn’t even a steddie thing- they could’ve touched on his growth without involving her. He’s someone who protects people now, who keeps putting others before himself and doesn’t stop fighting no matter what. Maybe he doesn’t even need a canon relationship to find worth and value. The dream with the kids was cute, but he’s so much more than some guy who can save the world but can’t move on from his first love. I want them to have love for each other, but they both need more.

And man, Nancy and Jonathan are really dragging on. I like them as a couple, really! But couldn’t they have other conflict? Or keep the conflict without involving Steve? All that buildup for them to lie to each other about how good they are, it just doesn’t make sense. I expected Jonathan to tell her the truth about college, or have him circle back to thinking about what it would look like if they kept holding on.

And yeah, Robin and Vicki at the end was just some hetero “we don’t know how to write queer relationships” bullshit. Just because they’re both girls and can have things in common doesn’t mean they need to be the same person. Robin deserves better than that, even someone who knows what she’s been through (winking at you ronance shippers).

I knew Byler wasn’t gonna happen, but man, they really couldn’t have had Will and Jonathan have a better conversation? Even at the end? It’s like “everyone knows so it doesn’t need to be said” but why not?? How is Will any different from Robin, who is somehow the only character who can openly talk about her queerness? Because he’s a boy? Because he’s young and in love with his best friend? I don’t wanna watch him cry in the back of the van with Mike if they’re not gonna have some kinda resolution.

I am gonna keep talking about Eddie, actually. His death was wretched, yeah. But the thing that breaks my heart is that now his name is tainted beyond death, and the people who loved him are silenced and pushed to the side. The Munson Murders, what a tragic end for a character who was so loving, so kind and gracious to everyone around him. And how are the writers gonna act like no one else in the group is bothered by his supposed death? They got to know Eddie, they risked everything to save him, and you can’t tell me that it’s business as usual after all that. If he is dead, it’s the worst insult to his memory. Ya know what’s better than dying a hero? Getting justice! Living to see another day with the people who love you! He could’ve become a braver person if he lived and he was already a fucking hero, because just like Steve, he cares about the kids. I can’t imagine what Dustin will go through and I really don’t want to.

So yeah. I know that the writers won’t see this, but I hope with enough pushback they’ll revive his character. If they can do it with Brenner after having his brain turned to mush, they can do it with Eddie after getting the same wounds as Steve. Especially after El brought Max back from the dead.

And man don’t even get me started on Netflix feeding into the Eddie love the whole time, it feels so vicious of them. Rbing steddie fanart and acting like his character was going somewhere. Like we get that little tidbit about Eddie’s dad teaching him to hotwire a car and for what? To never see him again? I don’t believe it.

Okay, I need to stop. Thanks for reading, I’ll be writing a fix-it fic within the next few days <3

Young Sirius to James: You and Regulus are gonna love each other and then we’ll all be brothers!

James: *makes fun of him*

Reg: *doesn’t realize he’s joking and ends up hexing him.*

Sirius: 😃 you gotta be fucking kidding me😃

Bro your mind is expansive thank you so much for this perfect explanation. I didn’t think everything was a lie either but I never thought about all of that

ok i don't want to be that person that says "Everyone is wrong and my opinion is the right one" ......but i think everyone is wrong about the ending of Ragnarok.

It was anticlimactic i agree. But i don't think this was all in his head. The final part, the battle, it happened. Magne saw a glimpse of what could have happened if he hadn't went against what things were expected of them. Because this is what the whole show is about. Everyone is expected to be someone and doing something that at the end of the day, they aren't meant to be.

And everyone is like "Oh all of this for Ragnarok to not happen "

But it did.

Just not as it was written. That the Ragnarok they had lived once. That's the Ragnarok they thought they had to live again. They where trapped in a loop of constant fight. But Magne broke that. And the last true Ragnarok happened. He took the nine steps that took Thor to die. And he made a choice. And Thor died. So that Magne could live.

So that they could live.

Ragnarok happened because they left behind their roles. They left behind the expectations they had of themselves. And moved forward. Gone are the times of the Titans and the Gods. They live as humans now.

Ragnarok happened and they are finally free.

My thoughts EXACTLY. The perfect post.

I believe that the reason why so many people like Regulus Black is because he is a blank slate. like we barely know anything about him other than the fact that he was a seeker, Sirius’s younger brother, a death eater at age sixteen, in a good relationship with a house elf and died around the age of seventeen or eighteen. another thing is that writing him is so interesting because of his circumstances, like boy grew up in a blood supremacist household, had Sirius Black as his older brother, Walburga Black and Orion Black as parents, was friends with Kreacher. There are just so many possibilities on what kind of person he could have been. He could have been a blood purist until he realized that muggle-borns are just as good at magic as purebloods. Or he didn’t believe his parent from the start but kept quiet because someone had to keep the peace in this shit hole of a house and it sure as hell wasn’t Sirius or Walburga. he could have been a very nice boy and a goody-two-shoes who tried to please everyone. or he could have been a ruthless young man who was tired at the unfairness of the world, bitter towards his older brother who left him to rot with his crazy mother and distant father. he could have been an animagus. knew Remus was a werewolf. friends with halfbloods or even muggleborns. maybe he was bisexual or demisexual or asexual. he could have been in love with James Potter. best friends with Barty. there are just so many headcanons and possibilities with Regulus because he is a blank canvas for us waiting to be brought to life and we can project ourselves on him and mold him to our liking and hoe we see fit. and this is why I think regulus is such an interesting character even though we know so little about him.

ATTENTION ALL GIRLS AND LADIES: if you walk from home, school, office or anywhere and you are alone and you come across a little boy crying holding a piece of paper with an address on it, DO NOT TAKE HIM THERE! take him straight to the police station for this is the new 'gang' way of rape. The incident is getting worse. Warn your families. Reblog this so this message can get accross to everyone.
