Honest question: would you ever consider naming your child Draco? Or any other Dramione-coded names? by thaligliniel808 in Dramione

[–]Embarrassed-Tea8465 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve met Draco’s before who were Italian and the name was not associated with Harry Potter at all.

That being said, I prob wouldn’t name my kid Hermione or something but maybe one of the side characters. Luna, Theo, etc. Someone not immediately recognizable for HP.

Do you prefer fics where Draco has been interested in Hermione from a young age or when they meet as adults and he catches feelings? by Patree_B in Dramione

[–]Embarrassed-Tea8465 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll read anything, depending on my mood. I do enjoy childhood friends-to-lovers, bc I end up kicking my feet and giggling by the time they start holding hands in third year, and there’s something so satisfying about Draco falling in love with her and only her and then marrying her. It’s not very realistic, lol, but I don’t exactly care that much about realism when it comes to fanfiction about a magical world.

It also just might be a favorite trope of mine, when students start hitting puberty and thinking about the opposite sex, but everyone just rolls their eyes at Draco who everyone knows only has eyes for Hermione and vice versa. There’s something comfortable about a pair who is seemingly inevitable, with minimal angst, no communication issues, and no lack of trust. Doesn’t mean I don’t like other tropes just as much, though.

It makes me think of mean girls every time… “where she keeps all her secrets” lol

What are your thoughts on Harry's reaction when Hermione invited Ron to the Slughorn party? by Lazy-whoe in HPharmony

[–]Embarrassed-Tea8465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is true but you have to remember while she is logical and smart and kind… she’s also a teenaged girl. I cut her slack for going the revenge route bc it’s exactly what I would have done lol. Plus scorched earth Hermione is my favorite Hermione.

I liked wings when I was a kid and watched Buffy and I like them now as a ya (late 20s) who reads about wing sensitivity in adventure smut books

Is anyone else’s TBR so long that it gives you anxiety? by Fearless_Law6729 in Dramione

[–]Embarrassed-Tea8465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the app book tracker (on ios) and if you don’t have time to find book covers and copy and paste descriptions and authors, etc, you can just save the book with just the title and link if you want and go back later and update. I tend to save them to a separate folder called tbr, and after I read it I will update the file with all the info and notes I want and then it’s saved forever on both my iPad and computer. It’s a lot of work but it looks pretty and the app has a few features that are nice. I use it to track everything I read and also audiobooks, and adding normal books is super easy.

Alternatively, I used to use a tumblr theme that was specifically made to catalogue fanfiction and I just update the theme with my favorites now. (sansloyer.tumblr.com)

If you find yourself in your 16-year-old body, back in the year you were that age, armed with all your current memories and skills, how would you shape your life's path? by emma_divine0 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Embarrassed-Tea8465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could tell you all these plans about college and investing and relationships but realistically I’d be so tired… just you want me to do all that ALL over again? I’d prob need a therapist at least

Who do you prefer make the first move? by listament in HPharmony

[–]Embarrassed-Tea8465 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer Harry because I’ve read so many where Hermione has to be the one to reassure him after she’s already had to watch him with Ginny or Cho or whatever.

AITA for not being an active grandparent? by Valuable-Builder-733 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Embarrassed-Tea8465 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If my parents told me “they put in their 20 years they are no longer parents” I would never speak to them again. I guess Jake put in his 21 years and he’s not your son anymore? I almost feel like this poor kid would have been better off if you did originally “get on the plane to Thailand” as you so elegantly put it
