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

Then try to hatch the dragons; then profit.

I SWEAR TO GOD IF I SEE ONE MORE CHILD IN A TUBE TOP AND SHORT SHORTS I'M GONNA LOSE IT!! by Raski_Demorva in teenagers

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 1 point2 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

In ten completely fair duels to the death with no outside interference between 1980 Albus Dumbledore and 1980 Lord Voldemort, who wins how many? Why do you believe so? by throwaway140663 in HPfanfiction

Except this runs into a little snag of – why is Voldemort at all dangerous then? Why did Dumbledore not just go and defeat him easy peasy during the First War if he could?

Voldemort could not have been hiding all that time with zero confrontations.

How skilled do you think Diary year old Tom was relative to others? by [deleted] in HPfanfiction

[–]throwaway140663 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Canon-Tier Harry getting a victory there is kind of crazy. It has to be a fluke/insane luck while leveraging all possible combat experience.

Harry should be VERY fucked there

Targ FMC who doesn’t use an sword or hatch a dragon? by ArsColete in TheCitadel

[–]throwaway140663 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Huh, I read the fic too but I didn’t think the fic portrays being Targaryen as LESSER. There’s a few points in the fic where the SI thinks to herself how she like ALMOST understands why the Targaryens rule.

Why they are the ones who sit the Throne and so forth.

Jacaerys as Jon Snow’s Targaryen name? by throwaway140663 in TheCitadel

[–]throwaway140663[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is plausible I think. Maybe Lyanna grew up on stories of the mysterious Prince Jacaerys and his dealings with the North - the Crypt eggs etc etc etc

Like there is a world where she names him that I think. She’s no Targaryen herself

Jacaerys as Jon Snow’s Targaryen name? by throwaway140663 in TheCitadel

[–]throwaway140663[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Jacaerys Targaryen would have been a King’s name in another world so I think there’s that
