ceo of bullying regulus, making late night posts about regulus. my opinion doesn't matter but my opinion also happens to be correct so
when i say normalize douchebag regulus, i literally mean realizing that regulus was def not a good kid. he was painted as a golden child to some extent but i figure he found some ways to weasel his way out of trouble at school and at home. even if he were headcannoned to be a prefect (which same) he gets his fair kicks out of bullying other students and proclaiming his supremacy (practically royal) and you know it
i feel like when you have this character who was clearly groomed in a way to be a bad person, theres such a stigma around writing this character true to themself or just casually skating around the bad parts because no one would want it irl lol. regulus literally climbed up his little social hierarchy of blood purity, got marked, realized his family was in danger and everything was for shit and literally toppled. he had uphold his beliefs so high 'serving the dark lord' that it fucked him over and that IS the best part about his character
and lets be real, when you're a teenager living in a brink of a civil war and you've come this far with your idealogy and had to scrap and restart from scratch you'd probably have some existential crisis? which i imagine is what exactly happened to regulus. kreacher even says as regulus is dunking the locket that 'regulus was not in his right mind'.
regulus, not having basic problem solving skills and also being a fucking teenager, was arguably suicidal and theres an entire other post talking about regulus' mentality during these stages of the wartime that describe it very clearly.
i really wish more people explored the side of regulus, who was this shit eating grin teenager, who had to rewrite his morals? and turning over that new leaf takes time. regulus is also extremely righteous, i wouldn't be surprised if he thought killing himself via drowning was his punishment for being a shit person all those years when he had the chance of being better.
i like seeing little things in regulus' pov, things that account for him being more socially aware? like "i should avoid saying that word from now" or just also being awkward as hell "yeah sorry i tried to kill you guys like last week but im better now"
do i think regulus stopped being a blood purist after the horcrux discovery? i think he was def on his way to throw the whole mentality out but was still processing how to be better. if he had lived an extra year or two then yeah i'd give it to him
