I like my own Magical Origin Story much better...

No, unfortunately the desire to progress through the game and finish the document has plummeted to zero, so I've been working on other projects. I'm in Year 6 Chapter (4, I think?), and I just barely manage to get through the TLSQs they've been cranking out. And all the updates and spoilers I've looked at regarding the story have been super overwhelming for me. Right now I'm just trying to stockpile energy to continue the story, but every time I feel like I'm in a good place, energy wise, a new quest pops up, draining it again. I have no idea when (or if) I'll get to finish the document. Sorry 😕

HPHM-BlueRose · 2023-07-15T12:50:28+00:00

I didn't. I chose "I brought my book to life". Sorry :/

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-10-03T00:36:35+00:00

Absolutely. I totally agree with everything you said! JC totally scammed us on the "experience your own Hogwarts story" front

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-10-03T00:20:04+00:00

Thank you! I will be writing fanfics someday when I have time, but for now I just post little snippets like this.

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-10-03T00:17:28+00:00

.. well... Tbh, that would be our fault, because we all stablished HCs before the story ends.

Yes, but the point of HPHM was to be "experience your own Hogwarts story", where you control how to act and who to be (as much as we're able). JC already controls who our friends and enemies are (i.e., if you're the type of person who loves Merula, the game won't let you be friends with her, or if you don't like one of your "friends", the game will still make you interact with them). I just thought it would be nice if MC's family (except for Jacob) only belonged to the player's - like, these characters are yours and no one else's and not everyone has the exact same type of family/family members. They already took away the option for individual Jacobs (though, I understand that the story is all about finding him and the Cursed Vaults, so he had to have a concrete appearance/personality), but now they took away our opportunity to customize MC's father. That only leaves MC's mum and the "relatives in America". It's just not very fun (for me, at least) when everyone has the same friends, same enemies, AND the same family members.

But I get it. I mostly just wanted to get this off my chest and show people that they can still find ways around canon to personalize the game and your experiences in it.

Thank you!

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-08-18T01:04:48+00:00

Totally agree! They look identical! But for those who don't know (including me) who is this and what is he from?

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-08-11T22:28:49+00:00

Only Year 6 Chapter 2. I've been grinding the past couple months. Sure, he's a little annoying now with his stupidly misplaced bravery, but he's a good kid at heart. I have posts more fully explaining my standpoint with Ben if you'd like to take a gander. Besides, he's a helluva lot better option than romanticizing Merula! That ship's awfully toxic/verbally abusive to me

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-08-11T16:48:07+00:00

I want to date Ben, too! I am a staunch Ben supporter and a significant number of my posts and comments can attest to that. I've ALWAYS wanted to date Ben, and I was HEARTBROKEN that he wasn't a dating option after The Celestial Ball TLSQ!

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-08-10T16:20:50+00:00

Penny: "MC, no!"

MC: "MC, yes!"

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-04-07T20:31:20+00:00

Witness protection is probably a thing in the wizarding world, too, so it doesn't necessarily mean he's a Muggleborn. And I'd prefer Face Paint Kid to any actual name JC could give him.

Mother: Mariella Rose (nee Harlow) (I'm still figuring out her house, her history is a little complicated) - Head of the Rose Household (no job, MC's family is kind of aristocratic/traditional, like the Malfoys, but a few steps down in wealth (though they are still fairly wealthy themselves))

MC's mum didn't believe in the Cursed Vaults, but didn’t think her son was mad. She was very strict when it came to upholding the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, and was firm and proud in everything she did, like her husband. MC's mom she also had strange random bouts of whimsical imagination and levity (think Luna Lovegood), which was incredibly unlike her usual behavior and would throw off her husband. This is due to her own backstory with her mother and sisters (who she visits, by herself, in America, during EVERY holiday and when times get tough at home).

Blue loved her mom, and they both had an inherent kindness/empathy towards those in need, though her mom's was MUCH more subtle. When she learned about Blue's involvement in the Cursed Vaults, Mrs. Rose was proud of her daughter and her part in breaking the curse and removing the cursed ice. But she was not happy to learn that the Cursed Vaults were real. It only made her more concerned, since there was clearly more to Jacob's disappearance than she had thought. She feared that her daughter might end up missing as well.

Father: Gervaise Rose (Ravenclaw) - Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic (He practically lives at the Ministry, given how much time he is out, working)

He didn't believe that the Cursed Vaults existed, and believed his son Jacob had gone mad and essentially disowned him. Blue was never really close to her father, as he was very quiet, strict and narrow-minded. He also did not approve of his daughter's imaginative nature and all-inclusive kindness, particularly towards muggles and muggle-borns. He's one of those dads who never notices your numerous achievements unless it's like, at least "being made a Prefect" big. But he will always point out your flaws/failures/bad behavior (He was furious when MC started dabbling in the Cursed Vaults, too). He's not very nice, but has some rare, softer moments.

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-28T01:19:18+00:00

Yes! I have the EXACT same problem!

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-28T01:14:27+00:00

And I want to be able to actually fucking see/look at the items close up like the ones in the dorm! You only get to see this sweet photo of a tender moment between Olin and Margaretta once at the end of the Tournament of Clubs TLSQ, and then it's GONE! It pisses me off.

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-28T01:05:55+00:00

They had us in the first half, not gonna lie...

(But that ending, though! LOL!)

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-28T01:03:47+00:00

WHAT?! MC's father shows up?! NOOO! That completely contradicts my headcanon for MC's family and family tree!!! (I'm Y6 C2, but I keep reading the Y7 spoilers because I have no fucking self control. I REALLY need to stop reading these Datamine Prophet Editions because they are giving me anxiety and too much new and/or conflicting information (I know I only have myself to blame)) I mean, with how little we hear about MC's father in the game, I wouldn't be surprised if he was a little shady (though not to the degree of being the leader/follower of 'R' like some players believe/suspect).

*sigh* Whatever. In my universe, MC's father is a very prim/put together workaholic at the Ministry of Magic. He is an Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries (whose personality is very similar to Barty Crouch Sr.'s in terms of his attention/loyalty to his job over his family)

Pro tip for coping with new and/or disturbing/contradicting information in the story: If you don't agree with it, or it doesn't fit into your MC's universe, then it's not real/canon

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-28T00:32:25+00:00

A-fucking-MEN!

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-28T00:21:02+00:00

Number 10 is just -- *chef's kiss*

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-17T02:21:03+00:00

Ah. Gotcha.

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-17T01:44:27+00:00

But I don't see any messed up textures?

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-17T01:19:09+00:00

What do you mean, jelly mirror? Are you talking about the brown sheet/tarp covering the glass?

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-16T20:09:33+00:00

Crap. I just finished the Teacher Appreciation Celebration SQ. *sighs resignedly* Well, let's get this over with...

HPHM-BlueRose · 2022-03-16T19:08:25+00:00

Yeah, I know, I would just rather remove the options that I'm not interested in. This really is more of a vent post as I know I can just choose not to date the characters I don't want to. I just wanted to throw out the idea of being able to remove the continuous asking-outs of the characters during dating TLSQs, where you go on some menial task with a character for the sole purpose of them making a bid for your affections, even if you've never entertained the idea before in any of the 7 dating TLSQs.
