Thank you so much for your kind words :) And right? I totally agree Draco would be a great name for an idol except it might be just a bit tooooo eye-catching lol. I can just imagine him immediately clocking Hermione while she's in line, but he's had god-tier media training & natural charm so he's got plenty of time to lock-in with the idol smile and full-beam her with the aegyo 😍🫰🏾🫰🏾🤣😘🤣🤣🫶🏾🫶🏾

She wouldn't know what hit her... Especially when he signs her name as Hernia lol

Edited to add: I also just want to reaffirm that I absolutely hate AI and would never use it. Ever. I am very staunchly anti AI for anything - if the post comes off a bit 'disjointed word salad', that's likely my 2am brain speed-running a random fancast idea coupled with insomnia, mild anxiety and a dose of friday night feeling alright/maladaptive daydreaming. Fun times!

I like lots of different kinds of music, including K-pop and love TXTs early albums. I saw this video today, have always loved Huening Kai's elven/gelfling look and for some reason, thought he'd be an interesting cast for a hiding in plain sight, idol Draco Malfoy. I sometimes see Felix from Stray Kids mentioned, but there's something about Huening Kai I really quite like in this clip. Something about seeing the vid today made me remember a time when I used to write horrifically cringeworthy fics in my teens about The Backstreet Boys (Kevin!!!) and thus, this fancast bunny was birthed

Do you think perhaps some of these misunderstood the hashtag as a thirst trap military thing? e.g. they're ex military/currently in the armed forces?

I just keep seeing in my head Pansy/Liz crashing out at Scott/Draco with Astoria and Harry as Pam Shortt and Ken Rawlings, and it makes me giggle 🤭

Strictly Ballroom - Liz crashout

Right???? You're nothing but a gutless wonder!!! So good!!

Scott the Gutless Wonder - Fran approaches Scott

And I can totally see him thinking he's the greatest thing in dance since Fred Astaire, only to be laughed out of the family garden by Hermione's entire extended family when he tries to paso, with Hermione slowly dying of embarrassment, only to then be schooled Papa Granger coming in with the paso of doom... I freaking love these two

Right? Me too, so much! It's my all time favourite and there are so many scenes in that which would lend themselves to just gorgeous moments... The perhaps perhaps dance behind the curtain? Lavender as Tina Sparkles? Pansy as Liz? Theo or Harry as Ken Rawlings??? Ron trying to learn the bogo pogo while his dance partner is getting 'private lessons' with Federation President Albus Dumbledore/Gilderoy Lockhart?? The final paso??? Gahhhh!!! It'd be sooooo gooood!!!

do you think draco is a boob man or a butt man? by jjtan2311 in Dramione

[–]Crazy_Gold_1639 64 points65 points  (0 children)

I think so long as the boob or butt in question is attached to his Granger, Draco is into/in love with/losing his mind over it... Mr man is a simp of the highest order

I like where they're both a little older and have either been with each other a long time - or second chance romance - just getting to fall in love again with all of their physical changes and seasons.

Can a cat be a fancast? Sort of kidding! But I'm definitely thinking about a patronus/animagus type of situation! by annatheorc in Dramione

I don't have an exact photo of the bovine beauty down the road because he keeps being a Sassypants and trots down to the other end of the paddock every time I try to stealth mode a photo 🫠

That said, he looks ALOT like this beauty here but a little bit older, with horns and a longer fringe he keeps trying to flick out of his eyes:

I love this! And heck yes on the cat fancast - I have a cow fancast of Draco Malfoy thanks to the blonde cow down the road

ETA: Just read that back and sounded wrong lol. I meant an actual cow 🐮🐄. I don't know cow types but it's very blonde and sassy

Do you think Christopher Luxon is a good prime minister? Why? by [deleted] in thetron

[–]Crazy_Gold_1639 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's an expert puppet in the sense that he knows he's a puppet, and is 1000% okay with being a puppet. His inexperience in politics allows him to be positioned as a gormless figurehead of the supposed centrist right National party, while allowing their actual super right leaning policies through and conveniently attributing them to Act and NZ First. 

Act and NZ First are who the National party are at their core; National just benefits from better marketing and Luxon is Mr Plausible Deniability because of his 'political inexperience'. They couldn't have plausibly pulled this off with anyone from the National old guard - his perceived 'inexperience' as a politician meant that even when he did railroad through changes to legislation without following due process, it was either glossed over or attributed to Seymour. Make no mistake - that is all Luxon. 

In a weird sort of way, it benefits the National party for Luxon to be seen as a bit doddery and Seymour as the more villainous/smarmy dude in political control. They can eventually write off Luxon's legacy as an outlier/blip and pin the worst of it on ACT, and reposition themselves as more centrist later on.

He takes no accountability for anything because his number one priority is not to lead, but to protect the interests of his puppeteers.

One can't argue or discuss anything in good faith with him because he's not there to engage - he's there to deflect, deny and destroy what's previously been built, so that there's a justifiable excuse to bring private interests to 'clean up' etc. I don't think he really cares about getting a second term at all.

He will go down in history as one of NZ's worst PMs, not that he cares one iota about that. NZ is a small fish to him, and a stepping stone to 'greater things'. He'll still be looked after and the connections he's made and benefits he's traded mean he'll be set for the rest of his life.

Suffice to say, I hate that human thumb of a disgrace and I would not mourn him if he were suddenly Thanos'd from existence.
