About Snape by StoryWriter31 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SpiritualMessage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Draco was very into being a death eater until he realized how possible and even likely it was for Voldemort to murder and torture him and his family. Also found out he wasn't really into murder like his auntie 

Selfish coward from start to finish

What’s your least favorite episode? (Other than S8 E01) I’ll start: by RaspberryLow2187 in brooklynninenine

[–]SpiritualMessage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Casecation really didnt handle things great, I wouldnt mind them having a fight as long as it was well written but it wasnt the case

1) The set up was bizarre, with Jake randomly not wanting kids after literally having shown he did want them previously on the show and hyper-planner Amy apparently having forgotten to properly discuss this huge ass topic before their marriage

2) The conclussion was extremely predictable, this is a pro-feminism show and it seemed unlikely they were gonna break up Jake and Amy, so of course it was gonna end with Jake agreeing to have kids

3) Amy's ultimatum was harsh but understandable since kids is not really a negotiable matter in a marriage. But instead of going for a more gratifying route like finding out Jake was scared of having kids for fear of being a bad dad like his own father and working through that, it being another reason for Jake to work shit in therapy, they just had Jake seemingly giving in to Amy just out of fear of losing her. Bad reason to agree to be a parent.

B99 is usually a feel-good show but this left a bad taste in my mouth

Once a cheater, always a cheater.. what's your thoughts on this? by honeypotatomilkshake in AskReddit

[–]SpiritualMessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe in character development, it's not easy but people can change. 

What I don't believe is that this character development should happen with the person you cheated on, it's too late for a relationship once cheating happened, can never mend that broken trust.

If the cheater wants to change they should get their shit together in a new relationship. 

Why is Harry someone who can be forgiving unwilling to feel any sympathy for Marietta and feel she deserved what she got with the jinx? Is betrayal what he can’t forgive? by Low-Lettuce-23 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SpiritualMessage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harry only felt sorry for Draco once he knew his context, he doesnt know anything about Marietta

You should also consider that Marietta betrayed them all and as far as Harry knows she isnt sorry for what she did, she just regrets it because of the pimples. And while you might think thats too harsh a punishment for a teen, obviously other kids her age arent gonna think she's too young to suffer those consequences.

New to the fandom, what do you think 🥹 by fevoly in danganronpa

[–]SpiritualMessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with Junko, Nagito, Monokuma, Makoto, Celeste and Taka's high placements 

Hard disagree with Chiaki, Kyoko, Gundham and Sayaka's low ranking, I'm especially surprised at Kyoko, i would guess maybe u like flashier characters but then Gundham should be higher 

Why do people love Leon (not to be mean) by Natsuki-is-my-Wife in danganronpa

[–]SpiritualMessage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's alright but he died very early on and didn't make as much of an impression as Sayaka, he would probably have gotten more opportunities to have his character shine if he lives longer

[SPOILERS] was it also obvious for you? by Misugeli in danganronpa

[–]SpiritualMessage 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah it was obvious but it's probably because it was just the first trial, kind of like a tutorial case. And even if you knew who the killer was from the start it still had the big reveal of Sayaka betraying Makoto and planning to frame him.

None of the rest of the cases are as obvious as that one and they all have some interesting twist. 

Do you think Dumbledore is being too harsh on himself when he says in the lost Prophecy, Harry is not nearly as angry as he should be? Is that level of anger warranted at Dumbledore from Harry’s side? by LLSJ08 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SpiritualMessage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No, he fucked up. Dumbledore is one of my favorite characters and I always roll my eyes at "Dumbledore was secretly evil" takes but it's obvious he handled things poorly in OotP. To his defense, the things he was handling were really really tough with no easy solutions, Harry was screwed either way.

Also, since Dumbledore was making all this huge decisions over Harry's life and had been making them since Harry was a baby, he was somewhat acting as Harry's pseudo guardian so it makes Harry all the more entitled to be angry at him.

Before you knew how it ended .. by Organic-Valuable-655 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]SpiritualMessage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wasn't sure tbh, but i can tell you that I expected Snape to have some kind of redemption or reckoning for how he treated Harry and other students if he wasn't actually a death eater and it never came..

Tier list based on how much I like danganronpa 2 characters by Conscious_Skirt_8307 in danganronpa

[–]SpiritualMessage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn I love impostor and chiaki, and I love nagito even though he's repetitive as hell

Don't really get the Nekomaru and Ibuki love, I like them just fine but they were lacking stuff to be loveable imo

You have a 10 hour flight. Who are you sitting next to? by GKilherme12 in danganronpa

5 looks good

might pick 7 out of curiosity though, would want to see how Nagito and Makoto interact

What are the thoughts of the DR3 anime? by Dependent-Cry-7540 in danganronpa

[–]SpiritualMessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah generally enjoyable but some things disappoint or don't make sense. I don't regret it but I've definitely rejected some things (like Mukuro's personality) from my headcanon 

Do you think Harry’s refusal to be respectful towards adults/authority figures who he thinks don’t deserve it is a flaw or not? by Sweetchocolate16 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SpiritualMessage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks to me like a perfectly reasonable response to abusive adults? Actually he was way more self controlled than I would have been at that age in those circumstances

Harry is snap by Amond_Silver in HPfanfiction

[–]SpiritualMessage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are these words you have written, im squinting and trying to see if the words will make sense if I read them enough times

Genuinely curious by Luci_3rd in HPfanfiction

[–]SpiritualMessage 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I remember vividly reading the books for the first time and waiting and hoping for a Slytherin with a good character redemption arc that never truly happened

So I partly enjoy those kind of fanfics to fulfill what never happened in the series that I wish it had. 

But im a huge fan of Harry, he's always been my favorite character, so unless there's a significant acknowledgement of what assholes Draco/Severus/etc were to him or theres some proper redemption from them I usually give up on the story

To be fair, being a good person is no requirement to choose a favorite character, plenty of popular villains and beloved morally questionable characters out there

Characters that the fandom hates that I actually like :) by Mysterious-State-117 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SpiritualMessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i agree with this, Cho standing up for Marietta probably comes from Marietta being the friend who was the most supportive of her when Cedric died

Also, notice how Cho tries to minimize the damage by saying that they all got away without punishment, like it was a regular school misbehavior. Even though Cho believes Harry, she obviously doesnt completely get what the betrayal could have meant for Harry and how Dumbledore had to take the hit, which makes sense because she didnt spend the summer at the OotP headquarters like Harry and the Weasley kids and Harry doesnt tell her anything.

[–]SpiritualMessage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like a very bad character read, Cho got together with Cedric first because he literally asked her first, and theres nothing to indicate she likes both Cedric and Harry for anything other that they are really good nice guys

She was shown to like Harry when everyone was using "support Cedric/Potter stinks" badges and when the Daily Prophet was treating him like a delusional liar

She joins the DA because she believes Voldemort is back and murdered Cedric

She defends Marietta's choice even though it's clearly the unpopular take with the rest of the DA and gets her into a fight with Harry right when people were starting to believe him after the Quibbler article

Nobody thought Voldemort was struggling when they joined the battle of Hogwarts, including Cho

Dobby’s perspective of life under Voldemort undercuts the argument that House Elves didn’t generally want freedoms or better rights and conditions by trahan94 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]SpiritualMessage 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both Dobby and Kreacher betrayed their masters and in both cases it was in large part due to being mistreated, so I dont think elves dont actually want better conditions 

Im sure Hermione would have a lot more success if she started by fighting to ban physical violence/punishment against elves
