idk but it's just so weird whenever I see any character being shipped with another person even though they are happily married and will literally sacrifice each other for the love they have for each other đđ. It's just so icky, like there are plenty other characters for you to pair up with Regulus but you chose James. James Potter who was literally head over heels for Lily Evans and I have no idea why they thought that it was a good idea to ship him with a said death eater who was literally one of the reasons Sirius left his home. I mean, if it was a gay relationship, surely y'all wouldn't have done the vice versa right? That'll be greatly offensive. But since Lily's a woman so it's okay! I get it not everyone has the same taste, but I'm sharing my opinion.
If you have to fanonize your characters to make the ship good, maybe your ship isnât that good in the first place.
The entire premise of Jegulus is so clearly rooted in fetish and misogyny cause some people canât be normal about gay men.
There are SO MANY better ways to add depth to Regulusâ character, his relationship with his brother and cousins!! Give the black sisters some depth too while youâre at it. His character is SO interesting but itâs constantly watered down to Jamesâ twink. Nothing wrong with Regulus being gay as a HC but itâs WEIRD to make fanfics about James (who loved Lily for YEARS) cheating on her. Itâs weird!! Itâs icky!! Itâs misogynistic!!
Jily losing all its popularity is genuinely baffling to me because their relationship is YEARNING AND LOYALTY. James died for her and she died for their son. Reducing her character to a baby maker for Regulus and James to raise is WEIRD. Especially when Regulus was canonically a deatheater. A death eater who hated muggle bornsâwhich Lily IS. WHY would James be anywhere near Regulus.
