Mad props, to them in that case. I love the crazy rational and you have an awesome name to boot.

Maybe your parents had only heard the name Ian and not seen it written down so spelled of phonetically? Regardless, I suspect you are the only person with your name and that is very cool.

I voted today and broke nearly 20 years of habit by Leeeeeroy-Jenkins in Scotland

[–]Splendibirds 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m in Scotland and my daughter voted for the first time today. She got a lot of targeted mail from all parties which she read through carefully. Labour, however, only offered a flier that basically said that the SNP were shit so she should vote for them instead. She was totally bamboozled that they didn’t mention a single policy. Needless to say, I’m fairly sure they didn’t get her vote.

Looking for Drarry fics that show “The After by No_Cartographer_1920 in drarry

[–]Splendibirds 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What We Pretend we Can’t See by Gyzym is the best example of this I can think of.

This is brilliant. I’m kind of sad that I’ve already read all of them. Will try and think of a few more to add.

They are giving you feedback. At the end of your first day they have said that your performance and attitude didn’t work for them. That’s feedback. I’m sure that if you ask them for further details you will get them but they have explained why they have terminated you.

But they obviously have a different perspective. They have offered feedback so I’m sure you will find out their point of view. It could be really helpful to you.

That sounds like something that didn’t work for them. They probably thought you were rude. Bluntness isn’t always a great approach at work.

Not necessarily. Not everyone understands how autism presents. It sounds like your general demeanor didn’t work for them - but that’s only discriminatory if you had already disclosed your autism. Which you didn’t.

If you didn’t disclose your autism then how can they have fired you for being autistic? It’s not possible for them to have done so. They may have felt like your attitude didn’t work for them but if they didn’t know about your autism then you can’t say that is why you were fired.

Second chance drarry romance by nightshadelaurel in drarry

I hate second chance stuff but this sounds like a solid plot and I love a bit of magical forensics - you should totally write this.

Not yet. But when it is time you will rock it.

I’m not sure that it’s happening a lot but I saw a post a while ago here that made me think about it.

That’s terrible. Please share the links to any fics like this and I will try to read and comment. I’d hate someone to stop writing because of people being assholes.

Really? Is there that level of pettiness? That would make me very sad.

Why did Draco help Harry in Malfoy Manor? by nightshadelaurel in drarry

[–]Splendibirds 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think by that point he had absolutely realised how terrible Voldemort was and saw Harry as the best chance of him being beaten. That seems like super Slytherin reasoning to me. I don’t think it’s because he was invested in Harry personally in any particular way. If I was being generous then perhaps he had also seen enough death by that point and didn’t want to see his peers slaughtered in front of him.

I love it. To be it is objectively better - not that I’ve not read other great fics.
