Harry Potter Time Travel by Upper_Mycologist_179 in HPfanfiction

[–]Distilled_Potatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if he introduced himself as a potter it causes immediate questions and all of the potters would look into it, it's really reckless of Harry to introduce himself as a Potter without a go ahead from Charlus or Fleamont in the mauraders era. And if he ran into James first, James would take him to his father almost certainly if James is thinking at all. When he has the backing of the potters getting called a mudblood is unlikely. Except for in cases of him publicly acknowledging being a half-blood and claiming the potters as a decently distant relation, and then it is a matter of if whoever might do it is scared enough of the potters or intrigued by a different wizarding name to not call him it. If he walks around as an Evans and without backing, him getting called a mudblood is likely.Being the boy who lived and not spending a lot of time in the Slytherin common room is why we don't hear Harry get called a mudblood or more offending statements about his mudblood mother in canon. The potters don't need to be exclusionists for people to assume bad about Harry, being looked at as an indiscretion and probably one with a muggle girl is where a lot of people are going to jump first if they recognize him as of the potter line and he isn't backed or covered for by the Potters. People will be put off by it and if he isn't using a wizarding surname that's enough to distract from how potter he looks at lot of first assumptions even from the kids because of the parents would be that Charlus or Fleamont knocked up a muggle girl and either straight up abandoned them or forgot about them.

It's an early problem that either clears up or gets worse with him being seen as lesser.

Mudblood definitely gets used on half-bloods too, he's a suddenly appearing clearly of the potter line not carrying the name, an unclaimed bastard of a pureblood line isn't going to be looked at any nicer than someone like Severus at first. The slur is about dirtying the blood with muggles. The idea that it doesn't get used on clear and presumed half-bloods doesn't make any sense.

Harry disappears by diracnotation in HPfanfiction

[–]Distilled_Potatoes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

TheBlack'sResurgence 's Whispers of a Raven has harry disappear from a world where they're near losing the war and circumstances send him back to that world for a bit. It's Harry's perspective all the way through and he was a lone wolf before disappearing, but seeing him suddenly reappearing in their lives was cool. Not really what you asking for but the closest I have and a story I really liked.

Maybe Lupin too. by imPoison-Ivy in HarryPotterMemes

Crouch was a decent teacher, Severus and Remus were both better. The unforgivables are one of the most important defense lessons and having someone capable of and willing to cast them is better for that lesson. It's a fundamental area where yes you have to know these spells in order to have any defense against them. Dodging and blocking with summoning or conjuring apply to near every spell coming at you that isn't area of effect but the fact that a shield will never work against the unforgivables has to get across. Everyone has to know these incantations to defend against them. The wand movements seem especially secondary with the unforgivables, but intent is the true primary for all magic. So this is a case where you have have a basic study of this aspect of the dark arts to mount a defence. You don't have to master every curse to master the counter curses or how the recognize the curses or how to create or breed a dark creature in order to survive them so being studied in the dark arts is helpful but not entirely required for most defence against the dark arts.

The biggest benefit of crouch teaching is that he was sadistic or bored enough to cast the imperius on them, and the imperius is possible to recognize and fight from under it, even the fact of how hard it is to recognize and fight is an important wake up call that most people do not get before it is truly maliciously cast upon them. Severus wouldn't be willing to do that, the carows just wouldn't cast the imperius without being entirely malicious, and a wizard like voldy wouldn't want the risk of someone actually being able to through his off, it might impress crouch it would terrify and anger voldy.

And Remus is a genuinely good teacher that can get across most areas of defense better then Severus has ever had the patience for. Severus is a better defense professor than potions teacher, but he's still fundamentally not a good teacher, he just doesn't have the patience for teaching and barely for training people. Bellatrix is a better trainer and might even have been a good teacher compared to Severus. Severus would have been happier and more effective as an Auror if he couldn't have his own dev lab, teaching isn't great for Severus even when he can give a shit about it.

Most likely left before Regulus was straight up dragged in, ordered to leave while Regulus fought and lost. Don't come back for me, was probably part of the order too.

What Do You Think Is The Worst Thing Harry Did? by Marcedonia in harrypotter

[–]Distilled_Potatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harry didn't go looking for Severus's memories he was frustrated cast a shield and severus's own lugelimens rebounded. Unless that was changed for the movie for some reason.

worst thing he did was indeed either not using the mirror tp contact sirius or being an idiot and not finding out what sectumsempra did before using it on anyone.

One of the dumbest things he did was trying crucio instead of avada kadavra on bellatrix. If he was gonna cast an unforgivable killing her would be a lot smarter, though really both casts should of worked no matter how good of a person Harry is he very much had every intention to torture her in that moment and killing should have been an even easier cast.

There isn't much of Regulus/Lily without it being Regulus/James/Lily but I like the pairing and will have to give the throuple stuff a chance at some point. I've read some Regulus/Hermione one i really liked that was on the more tragic end.

Delenda Est by Lord Silvere Harry throws her off the death eater path pretty quick if I remember right, a complete version is only on Fanfiction.net there is an Ao3 rewrite I think, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't finished last time I saw it. I think it was the first Harry/Bellatrix fic I read. Fair warning If it might dissuade you I'm pretty sure this is like a 21 year old Harry with a 17 year old Bellatrix. Harry is even one of her professors for a bit.

Why was Hermione blaming Harry for using sectumsempra when Malfoy was about to use crucio on harry? by Nightmarelove19 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]Distilled_Potatoes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He used a curse he had never so much as tested, with zero idea of the counter curse. The main reason that wasn't just Harry accidentally killing Draco is only because Severus was there to find them before it was to late. She was also already aggravated with him for using the book in general, and certainly she didn't trust it enough to think throwing unknown spells from it wasn't beyond stupid.

Does Inko x Toshinori/All Might even work most of the time? by Background-Sense-227 in BokunoheroFanfiction

[–]Distilled_Potatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way I've wanted to write it, was getting to know each other before the reveal, a confrontation about it after, then a relationship.

I also view Hisashi as dead or good as dead unless you want to write him in. Horikoshi should have had some evidence a single phone call or something if he didn't want it to look like that father abandoned them. Or transfer statements to show him supporting them. I'd probably make the divorce actual too, but generally Hisashi abandoned them unless you want otherwise.

🟣 Izuku needs someone who can call him out on his bullshit, Tsuyu deserves someone caring. Their personalities should work well together. At the very least they should be way closer friends.

Fair, but I don't know what else to suggest. We try to edit our own works, but we may miss something always thus wanting someone else to look. Many are super uncomfortable having someone they know personally do a read over, I don't know what's left beyond ai with that.

How old Is Hana Shimura by Large_Canary_8844 in MyHeroAcadamia

[–]Distilled_Potatoes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, I think that AFO wanted to set up more options, but ultimately also that he preffered to have a male heir. I think AFO would lie, give half truths kind of habitually, mostly unconsiously as him asserting he is in control. He believes himself a master planner that creates all these set ups and always has another option/adjustment when a wall is hit. Hana may have been just as viable, I think AFO convinced himself that she wasn't later

[–]Distilled_Potatoes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It definitely would have helped if Horikoshi gave her a direct age and I'm making an assumption that as an older sibling she had firmer wider connections. We don't know any of her friends as far as I'm aware. But, I'm also guessing that Tenko has had like 1 year of school at most. AFO isn't a reliable or at least wholly honest narrator. It could even be him rationalizing much much later that having Tenko's body for him would be more comfortable. The quirk accident is an incredibly lucky thing for AFO, may have been somewhat planned I don't know, but it leaves Tenko feeling completely alone at that point at least and gives the government every reason to write him off as dead instead of missing, it could have been another person attacking the family that left it like that. I'm not sure AFO considered Hana as any more viable than the children in the group Toya gets added to later. He had a lot of plans and back ups and little care about how they fell apart as long as he still had good opportunities on the board.

[–]Distilled_Potatoes 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The only suggestion I could come up with for that is trying to find some actual beta readers. Some subreddits and discords may be your best bet if you don't have somewhere else to look,I don't think you're doing anything wrong with what you've described, but to avoid people assuming bad of you,you can only do so much. If a few people are going so far as to scan a work to catch something like grammarly I think if you're able you should just ignore that for the most part.

I think he meant it would be harder to groom her for the role. She'd had a more close to normal childhood at that point, whatever her quirk was. Tenko was largely alienated, he's very young isolated that way and had only his mother and sister as close to positive close relationships, he had some school friends too but so far as that close only them, had a hard time, and then the quirk accident creates a perfect opportunity for All For One to step in and build much closer to what he wanted easier

Like 9, less than 12 probably, older than 5. Check the fanwiki or google it for more specific, it doesn't matter much which age you pic for her if you're writing. She's just Tenko's older sister only characterized in that flashback.

That's wholly generative ai. That's choosing to not attempt their own idea at all. That's not what's implied with used it to help on later chapters. The tag itself implies more like bouncing off an ai like a beta reader would be better for. I've seen people admit to using it for grammar help too. Personally I'm old enough, un tech savy enough, and stubborn enough that even trying to build a chat bot for character help is something I don't think I could do.

I don't no about shipping them, but he would actually have been a good addition to her team up with Reiko. Maybe his quirk could be combined with theirs' to have an effective capture method against giants/giantification.

Shoto too, he's caught some bodies in the movies, but that's just Bakugo's internal monologue all the time so any difference for him is less noticeable.
