#regulilylene

jegulus | 11/10 - i love them so much. when i rejoined the fandom in 2022 and saw how the ship had blown up in the years id been gone i was really confused, but then i read just lovers and was immediately convinced lmao. they are the epitome of sunshine x grumpy and i adore them both

bartylus | 5/10 - theyre not very compelling to me, but theyre not bad by any means. i think they work better as friends but i understand why people ship them. i just prefer other ships personally, but ive read many great fics with them too!

jegulily | 20/10 - im obsessed with them. i love regulus, james, and lily separately, but together they balance each other out. plus it helps that its a combination of my two most favorite monoamorous ships (jegulus and regulily), like whats not to like? theyre definitely a top tier ship

moonwater | 10/10 - they are so cute and so overhated! theres so much potential here, like they could be friends to lovers or enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers, basically any trope you can think of lol. and think of the angst! the drama! i love them dearly

regulily | 1000/10 - yall already know how i feel about these two! they are literal soulmates and i love them to bits. their personalities mesh so well and, this might be a controversial take, but they make more canonical sense than jegulus does imo (not that canon really matters in this fandom lmao). i could wax literal poetry about this ship i love them so much

rosewater | 6/10 - i have other ships i prefer for both of them but theyre still cute and i can see why people ship them. honestly its a similar situation to bartylus, except they intrigue me just the slightest bit more lol

regumary | 4/10 - im sorry i just cant see this ship. i can see their relationship being platonic but not romantic. i also think mary is a lesbian, which doesnt really mean much considering i also love the trans girl regulus headcanon, but most of the time when i see this ship its very cishet and just not my thing. sorry yall!

regdora | 2/10 - i just cant see this ship either. its not bad necessarily, i just see the relationship between regulus and pandora as that of a sibling relationship. no hate to people who ship them, its just not for me lol

rosestarkillerchaser | 6/10 - i understand why people ship them, its combining three popular ships (jegulus, bartylus, and rosekiller), but im sorry i just cannot see james dating barty and evan. im not hating on people who ship them and its not bad by any means (i like them more than most other ships involving evan & barty) i just dont actively ship them. ive read some good fics tho!

rosestarkiller | 5/10 - similar situation to bartylus yet again, its just not compelling to me. i think regulus works better with evan & barty as his friends rather than lovers which you can probably tell given my other ratings lol

blackeclipse | 10/10 - ooooo i love them. all the best aspects of jegulus, moonchaser, and moonwater in one, its elite. james brings the buoyancy that regulus & remus need while regulus & remus help keep him tethered. they work so well together and i love them all dearly

xenoreg | 8/10 - a crackship ive come to enjoy recently! definitely a weird x weirder kind of ship which is the best. oh to be a fly on the wall of the slytherin common room when regulus told barty, evan, and dorcas that he was dating xenophilius lestrange, ravenclaws resident conspiracy theorist (pandora, of course, would have been overjoyed to have someone to trade ideas with)

regulene | 7/10 - they intrigue me tbh, like marlenes brashness and regulus’ coldness contrast in just the right ways. theyre like fire and water and i love that. plus the potential for a quidditch rivalry is phenomenal, especially considering that they could both be the seekers for their respective teams. theyre kinda similar to dorlene imo

personally i love marlene and regs dynamic, especially if lilys thrown into the mix (regulilylene supremacy) so its probably one of my fav “straight” reg ships but im curious how u feel abt it??

regulilylene is an extremely rare pair that i think only 4 people on the face of the earth have ever considered seriously (i am one of them), but they caught my interest!! and now i love them

i guess i should preface this by saying that i think my characterization of marlene is very different from the generally accepted idea of her. i feel like most people in the fandom, both old and new, think of her as a blonde gryffindor bombshell that was confident and nonchalant and effortlessly attractive and that is... just the complete opposite of my marlene 💀

to me, her and regulus are very much two overachieving poets with older siblings they admire but can never live up to. regulus likes her because she's realistic and holds herself to a respectable standard in most, if not all, things. she's smart and driven and curious but not stupid, and regulus likes that her emotions are so predictable because abrupt change makes him anxious, but he also likes that he can't always read her like he can with lily

i think of marlene as a nervous nelly. she overthinks constantly and doing new things gives her headaches because of it. she is never not worried or pondering the worst case scenario or coming up with reasons to be overtly cautious. so i think regulus would view her as this ceaselessly rearranging puzzle—it's the same picture but the way you put it together changes based on the pieces. i think regulus would view marlene as a puzzle he loves to solve and set right again, and i think marlene would view regulus as the worlds next tragic painting. he's destined to be the next devastating piece of art that'll pull on everyones heartstrings because his soul is rooted in sadness, just like hers is rooted in the repetition of fear. lily stole all of the bravery in this situation

i also like them because of their houses and all of the values that come together in like. a giant melting pot of love and care. regulus is a slytherin ofc, lily a gryffindor, and marlene a ravenclaw (i will die on this hill). and you'd think there would be a bunch of fighting all the time but no; the 3 of them are natural academics. they just go about their education in different ways and since they're natural learners/knowledge lovers, they just fit i think
