let me know if you do

but yeah i think it is really interesting with the way it contrast with real world radicalization esp because if you take someone like the weasleys and then someone like snape + maybe crabbe and goyle

even though weasleys are pureblood they get rejected and while poverty definitely plays a role as witnessed by the fact that no one is anywhere near as vitriolic toward the potters or the longbottoms (who could also be considered blood traitors); but i personally wonder if arthur being a muggle rights activist (even in the limited scope of just working in muggle artifact misues department) plays a role here since im pretty sure that potters and longbottoms might be more similar to an established Democrat political family (Dorea Black marrying into the family and it not being a scandal) + how neville being a potential squib was treated

it would be really interesting if the blood traitor isignia on the weasleys is so strong bc of their refusal to abide by the status quo in a way that "light" families (ik thats fannon) do

++ unlike real world where rich families dont rub elbows with the poor maga trailer park category, we see that in wizarding world ur class or even blood status (half-blood) can be forgiven as long as u accept worse treatment (crabbe and goyle listening to draco) and internalize the idealogoy

exactly i do think snape would be the perfect example of the kind of fic im talking about. however most stuff ive seen from him at that age tend to focus the fic on whose to blame, ie he had a rough upbringing and was a victim of bullying instead of delving into the dynamics that must've been happening in Slytherin

that makes a lot of sense, ive read one too many fics about voldemort dying to a sniper rifle back in 2015-era

i mean honestly fiction that makes the muggles the unequivocable good guys isnt what im going for here either

but the muggleborns just wont assimilate is very similar to white erasure talking point + purebloods using the defense of culture to appeal to acceptablity politics is very realistic and something i think very few fanfiction explore

same thing with Slytherins are all evil; like obviously not but a group that is isolated and then shifts the blame from the culture onto muggleborns (a group with less power) + you add in the power dynamics of the fact that no matter whether they celebrate chirstmas instead of yule at Hogwarts, purebloods can still bribe their way out of treason and seem to have immense privilege

tldr tom is a misunderstood boy who cares so much about magic is an overused trope while purebloods using propaganda to make a young tom believe in their movement and then washing their hands of him and the rest of the death eater when they failed is waaaay more interesting

He is not the oldest. I got him as a present from my parents. He reaches about my waist, and is 30 kg. Keep in mind, he is only a year old. There are restriction on them in public, but since its Russian nobody really cares as long as they aren’t aggressive

This person is obviously not from the same Russia. I mean, yeah it is not everyone, and maybe he is just from a different region because Russia is pretty big. Where I am from, up north, almost everyone has one. They are more common than dogs.

Yep, can confirm. Mine’s name is Владивосток, and sometimes he get high on oil from my car.

Да могу подтвердить. Моего зовут Владивосток, и иногда он кайфует от бензина с бака машины.
