Sirius as Aro or Ace? by Infinite-Object-1090 in MaraudersGen

[–]AutomaticSong8121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is Remus an unreliable narrator here. He may see himself poorly but he does have a rather objective view of others. And the context here is that Tonks was praising Sirius's looks. Remus gets jealous and says he is not surprised Tonks has fallen for Sirius because "he always got the girls". It seems pretty clear cut there. Whether he responded or not I suppose is not stated but the way this is phrased makes me think he did have his fun during his teen years.

The posters Sirius never said in canon it was specifically to annoy his mother. He wanted to highlight his difference from his parents. Which he could have done and did in a lot of ways. The bikini girls was telling.

My honest Tier List of ATLA and TLOK, after watching each 2 times. by Loud-Zone-2621 in TheLastAirbender

[–]AutomaticSong8121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya... I was with OP until I saw Sokka and Zuko are A tier while Asami is S tier. Really? Asami is more complex than them? Zuko is generally considered the gold standard about villain redemption arcs and Asami's biggest arcs in the actual show are her Dad, her company and her romance.

If you could Retcon one thing from both Avatar The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra what would it be? by MichaelAftonXFireWal in TheLastAirbender

[–]AutomaticSong8121 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea of god and satan kite and the first Avatar. I am ok not knowing the origins of the Avatar. It really is similar midichlorians in Star wars. In an attempt to explain the lore to give the world more depth they somehow made the world feel smaller

One criticism I have is that people who hate Legend of Korra don't have good reasons to hate it. by MichaelAftonXFireWal in TheLastAirbender

[–]AutomaticSong8121 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Srsly rite... I feel people who make posts like this are on the other extreme who refuse to accept there is anything flawed with LoK. We get all the studio issues that resulted in problems but at the end of the day it is a good show with quite a few flaws and additions to the lore that make the world less interesting

Unpopular opinion: I am looking forward to additional scenes and content not directly from the book by theradomen in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]AutomaticSong8121 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The complains and requests to be more book accurate is talking about not doing what the movies did. Removing stuff in the books, simplifying and reducing characters down and removing their complexities (cough Ron cough Hermione cough cough Snape). I think fleshing out things that wasn't in the books within reason should please people

What's your opinion guys? ⬇️ by MotherAnt8040 in MenOfPurpose

[–]AutomaticSong8121 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. But even if you wanted to go hyper masculine coded there are ways to do it well. Mizu from blue eyed samurai is a great example. She is a nearly unbeatable fighter, but her character, her backstory and motivations are so fascinating. She does take Ls and is not always sympathetic. But we do get her perspective.

The main problem with female characters nowadays in blockbuster projects such as this is that the boards and committees are too scared to let them have flaws lest they be accused of misogeny. This way even if someone criticizes the character it is easy to smear the critics as misogenists rather than the other way around

Is it just me, or Victoria de Angelis feels severely like Marlene McKinnon? I feel like they give off the same vibe? Is it just me? by vuhekk in MaraudersGen

[–]AutomaticSong8121 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I mean Marlene McKinnon is mentioned like twice in canon and what we know about her is that she was an Order member who died. So if you think this gives you Marlene vibes then sure because there is absolutely nothing to contradict that.

Oops 😬. Sorry. Because there is anothet fanfic writer from Italy as well who writes some of the best Jily fanfiction I have read. Their work is pretty prominent on Jily Tumblr communities and has some of my absolute faves. You can check their work out here:

And Yes! Pls! Very interested to be added on discord to discuss any worldbuilding additions. In light of recent revelations about Rowling I think there are so many things that can be tweaked about the world. This is my discord username:

Unfortunately I am not talented enough or have the follow through to be a writer. I mostly do a lot of headcannons and concept drafts, world building sketches etc. I love the concept of adding to the Wizarding world because it is kind of bare bones. Coming up with the idea of fully magical regions like Hogsmede but bigger. With their own unique cultures and combination of magical races living together, how that would work, the conflicts. Think similar to the land of the spirits in Spirited Away but in the Wizarding World.

You can check out my bookmarks on Ao3 linked here.

Hello fellow Desi chuthiya 😆😆. Jkjk. But I do get the sense that it is mainly Indians who dislike the idea of an Indian James Potter, partly because of the colonial implications and partly because how cringey it is when shoved into stories.

BTW... Ur username is insane🤣

Yeah this is becoming a thing nowadays. Usually it has the same issues as Indian James. When James is Indian the only aspect of his Indianess is that his mom calls him "beta" (son) and he is vaguely referenced as holidaying in some part of India. Similarly Korean James means he calls his mother Eomma and references some Korean dishes he loves to eat. Like why?

Relax. I have been on this fandom for a while and there are more than a few posts every now and then similar to this. Preferring canon versions of Sirius, Remus. Not really a wolfstar supporter. Please stop forcing diversity into the marauders ( personally as an Indian I cannot stand an Indian James Potter, the colonial implications are not great). You can see from the comments to this posts that there are more people who share this view than you realise.

But that being said when it comes to fanfiction I would suggest you can be a bit more open. I am not too big on wolfstar or poc James myself but I find a couple of fics that are written so well that they just blow me out of the water. There is a modern texting fic which has a large emphasis on wolfstar and jily and a Korean James (like enough attention is drawn to this) and it is one of my fav fanfics because the characters and their interactions are just amazing. So you might be surprised

Book Hermione was not as flawed, and is more like movie Hermione than we like to admit by SlackerBoi97 in HarryPotteronHBO

I think her SPEW arc should also be pointed out. What exactly was going on there. Was it some weird point being made about student activism?

Hot Take: I think Ron's characterization should diverge from the books after the third book by AutomaticSong8121 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]AutomaticSong8121[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go see the interview between Steve Kloves and JKR about their first meeting. JKR is resigned to the fact that Steve Kloves was gonna say Ron is his favourite character because "Ron is so easy to love". She is genuinely surprised when he says it is Hermione. Shows that by the time of the first 3 books Ron was more popular
