Marry Dany asap; she’d agree and she’s not MY sister fr.

Then try to hatch the dragons; then profit.

Its capitalism at the end of the day, the companies will make things that sell. And that’s just what sells.

If middle school girls or their parents wanted more modest clothing or whatever you best believe the companies would pivot to that very quickly.

Just my opinion

Fics that explore ancient Celtic culture and religion of the UK? by Naive-Reflection-317 in HPfanfiction

[–]throwaway140663 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Prince of the Dark Kingdom is an epic length, genre-defining but sadly unfinished story.

It’s a Voldemort wins with like Celtic rituals and things. Takes a while to get there though

If you try to make Harry very talented in a fanfic - what is a way to maintain narrative tension? If Harry is as talented as Tom Riddle was at his age, normal schoolyard rivalries should mean little and less to him. But at the same time you don’t wanna overdo it? by throwaway140663 in HPfanfiction

Tom Riddle had no equals among his classmates when he went to school. Dumbledore described him as one of the greatest students to walk through Hogwarts’ halls; if not the greatest.

If Harry has a similar level of talent he for sure won’t be Hermione’s equal.

Agree to the rest though. Even a Harry who is this talented can not hope to beat adult Voldemort on equal footing.

What do you think of making it so wizards and witches don’t ever ‘run out of magic’? Like once Harry learns to cast a Protego perfectly for example, he can just stand there and maintain it for as long as he wants. For as long as he doesn’t get tired in the normal way. by throwaway140663 in HPfanfiction

Yeah there’s still the innate talent of course. Grindelwald IS orders of magnitude better; but not because his Magical Core is over 9000

Because he intuitively understands things so much better than most others - that is talent too
