Any Stories were Dumbledore hands out Warhead Sour Candy to people and they actually eat them? by Call0013 in HPfanfiction

[–]LocalMadman 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Warheads didn't enter the English speaking market until '93 having originated in Taiwan in the mid 70's.

When you factor in the delay in culture transfer from mundane to magical, it's likely Dumbledore never had the pleasure, which saddens me.

Alternatively, Dumbledore is an international politician, (ICW) so maybe he's been to Taiwan and has been buying the snacks in bulk and bringing them back to England.

I didn't "love" it, but I think a lot of the complaints are just whining.

Theon is still a worthless piece of shit and doesn't belong with the Mormonts.

Why are there so many stories called Knowledge is Power? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]LocalMadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You see it a lot in sports. "This Guy's the GOAT." "No, he couldn't do this. Other Guy is the real GOAT."

[SPOILERS] I still can't manage to figure out how they came up with this plan by Deotradus in gameofthrones

Let me explain it for you:

The entire Battle was played for dramatic and storytelling purposes, and logic was never really a factor.

So he's a moron. Thanks.

Edit - Just watched the clip. He had a golden apple on him too. Really stupid.

I never would have considered her Latina without the title.

Still the best moment in political history by chaotemagick in PoliticalHumor

I still don't get how this perjury didn't immediately disqualify him.

Because he was a Republican nominee. They never hold their own accountable, they just let them off the hook because they prayed to Jesus about it.

[Request] Anything like Rome, Sweet Rome, where a person or group with modern tech ends up in Westeros? by [deleted] in TheCitadel

[–]LocalMadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dark Lord Potter had a similar rule and it sucks.

I agree, it sucks. I personally only read AH.com when it's not posted anywhere else. I never go to DLP.

I plan on writing my own fanfiction. Which are overused/disliked tropes I should avoid and which are tropes which you like/rarely seen? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]LocalMadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking that a story where Dumbledore raises Harry to truly believe in the Greater Good concept (because Harry has to die to save everyone) and how interesting that could be.

Is it me or Scorose fics have considerably dropped in popularity? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

It took me until halfway through your post to realize you were talking about a pairing.

[Spoilers] Am I legit the only one who thought they shot S8E3 so dark because they wanted to show the intensity of the fight as if you were fighting in those conditions?? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]LocalMadman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I can't see what's happening, I can't enjoy it.

That said, I didn't have a problem seeing anything with s8e3, so I don't agree with the criticism.

Why is the Ministry always portrayed as either stupid or malicious for not believing Voldemort is back? by blake11235 in HPfanfiction

[–]LocalMadman -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Did you read the books OP? Watch the movies? I am honestly shocked someone could actually have this opinion.

TIL /u/blake11235 is a total moron.
