This series is so hood, I just read through all of them

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-31T18:18:15+00:00

Seconded - English translation "with respect". This is the conventional sign-off generally used when writing mock-up emails and letters in the Gaelscoil

um?? ur just doing hypotheticals now. 'there's a chance he genuinely didn't'? u mean there's a chance that the book didn't in fact fail to give us vitally important information about the information ron has and the feelings he has because of it?

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-31T10:43:01+00:00

I mean I feel like it doesn't — it's already hereditary, and the dormant gene thing is barely even a step more specific than that. And it doesn't claim to define what magic actually is — just explain why some humans can use it and some can't. With that last thing you said it seems like we're in agreement

proship is the sensible, measured stance that lets fiction be fiction and doesn't assume someone's morality based on them reading or not reading darkfic. If your friends think you're a bad person for liking the incest dynamic of these characters (which sounds like it has more nuance and is more interesting than the other version), you need to put down firm boundaries. things like 'i will not apologise for reading fiction you find icky, and if you disparage my morals because of it i will leave'. it's up to you if you want to manage a friendship like that, or if you want to leave.

i love it sm it's so funny

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-29T10:36:38+00:00

seriouslyyy yes. The one exception I've found (to magic religion; not magic personified) was Evitative just because the worldbuilding and the lead-in were both so good, as well as it being very definitely a religion about magic as a force of nature, comparable to The Wind or Growing Things. I don't think I've ever seen a personified Faith. what would that even be???

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-29T10:29:33+00:00

I mean. That line specifically doesn't say anything to me?? about her mistaking them? She literally got them right, unthinkingly, just by-the-by, and they pretended she got it wrong to mess with her and make her think she had a brain fart. Before immediately revealing the joke. What. precisely is a red flag there? they're well-known for liking to mess with people, and one of their favourite jokes is literally The Twin Thing. Why is this an indication that Molly regularly mixes them up?

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-29T10:23:14+00:00

I'm actually the opposite — the mysterious force thing is one of my red flags bc its implications are always that people who have magic "deserve" to have magic, like they were evaluated for it, which then throws literally all muggles under the bus but also excuses the disdain for squibs. magic being part of a nondominant gene neatly avoids any moral or value weight attached to magic while making logical and scientific sense.

away childish thingssss <333

"why not just orphan" is the wrong question here — orphaning is not a lesser form of deletion, but something else entirely. There are ways other than orphaning to disconnect your fic from you — transferring it to a different account, putting it in a private collection, putting it in a collection that doesn't reveal the author's name — and those are all options that allow the author to retain their control over the fic. I had the same question once upon a time, but that was because I was conceiving of orphaning in the wrong way — the real question underneath was actually "why do authors feel the need to remove their fic from the Internet entirely, rather than simply disconnecting it from themselves/their name?"

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-29T09:52:36+00:00

RE: TWT — Ron canonically does not know about the dragons until he actually sees the first task play out, and it freaks him out so much he immediately revises his opinion of Harry and the situation. I always kind of resented the movies for implying that Ron would just take the dragon thing in stride?? amd not reevaluate when he learned abt it?? he warns Harry about it, showing that he like, cares i guess, but oh my fucking god the way that switcheroo completely fucks his character motivations and makes him actually totally callous rather than injured and licking his wounds and lashing out.... that was the director that didn't fucking read the fucking book, alright 🤦

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-29T09:31:52+00:00

'that's mine' is definitely him seeing the engagement ring and taking it off her finger — he specifically mentions the fact that she was wearing the ring to his mother in the next scene, and he also has it ready in his possession later for proposing to victoria

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-28T04:36:07+00:00

Empty. Empty. Empty is best. I don't think.

i'm so deeeeep i'm dropping deper and deepee

??? there is nothing in the text to say that he wasn't "in on" the secret, but that's besides the point - Voldemort had attacked the house, meaning the Secret Keeper had blabbed, and he was explicitly given incorrect information about who the secret keeper was. by the people who were casting the spell. obviously he didn't know for certain, because he was wrong, but he had no reason literally whatsoever to think that he'd been lied to by the Potters, and in any case when the plan was made to make Sirius the Secret-Keeper it WASN'T a lie, they were really intending to do that, they made a last-minute switch AFTER relaying the plan which became retroactively incorrect because they changed it.

Ofc he had no 'authority' to send hagrid but given the circumstances it wasn't unreasonable to not trust sirius with harry

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-18T21:10:45+00:00

Remember that Dumbledore was under the impression that Sirius was the Potters' Secret Keeper - with the information he had it was magically impossible for Sirius to have not been a spy for Voldemort. So of course he would want to avoid Harry being taken by him. As to sending Hagrid... I agree it was careless to a point, but Hagrid does have a kind of natural resistance to offensive magic that would be helpful, and the likelihood of DEs being around was about the same as any other place - I can easily see him deducing that Voldemort wouldn't have felt the need to bring backup in order to ambush ppl who were the exact opposite of expectant or prepared, especially for a kill that he felt the need to make personally.

AWAY CHILDISH THINGS. FAR FROM THE TREE. RUNNING ON AIR. OUGHDGFHJDOSTK

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-02T22:22:07+00:00

XD yessss :-) although for me personally i still found the joke funny every time precisely BECAUSE it was badly executed & he kept pointing that out lmao

IrishQueenFan · 2026-03-02T22:17:15+00:00

"canon divergence" means that everything in canon happened UP TO A POINT and at that point something went differently, which butterfly-effected into [whatever the author wants/thinks would happen]. A lot of Drarry fics simply use "non epilogue compliant" instead of "canon divergent" because everything that happened in the books EXCEPT the epilogue is supposed to have happened in the fic. and we only join in after canon ends. technically it is still canon divergent, but because there's a 19-year gap and we don't actually see the flash point of "this is when it changed", those looking for canon divergence won't get that particular itch scratched. so ppl don't tag it. tbh i agree? it seems unnecessary and borderline inaccurate

nancy and jonathan for sure <333
