    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    Seeing Malfoid in casual muggle clothes gives me a whiplash that makes me realise how...liberal? Un-classical? The general fandom is compared to even a Gen X woman like Rowling, who at least clung to the aesthetics of high culture, even if she stuffed it full with resentment for it. I'd say one...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    Depends on how much you ignore Rowling's 'magic schools around the world' thing. Which, to be fair, was so ridiculous it doesn't warrant thinking about anyhow. I'd say Sinosphere magicians are just Buddhist-Taoists, don't use wands, and have their meridian bullshit. And the 'Chinese Fireball'...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    Broke: Trying to """write Slytherin well""" will end up with a poor man's Those Who Walk Away From Omelas. Sacrificing 25% of eleven year olds into a deterministic well so the rest can live in a moralistic paradise is something canon doesn't concern itself with. Woke: The Slytherin-Sorting Hat...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    Holy shit, Umbridge got Ritual'ed. Percy might be an alluring protagonist to work with because we get so little for someone who gets so much vitriol. I think the Magic Minister and Muggle Minister are sort of equal in power in the books (though naturally the Magic Minister holds the bigger...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    Ah, it's kept a bit vague in both the books and movies, but Narcissa is the youngest sister. Bellatrix is the oldest, Andromeda is the middle child, and Narcissa the baby. I can't remember where I read it, but I think they got along quite well. Before Andromeda eloped with a muggleborn and...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    IIRC, I think he does, under more impressive circumstances. It's when Fudge recounts meeting him in Azkaban. Sirius casually asks him for the Daily Prophet because he says he misses the crossword puzzle. Even after twelve/thirteen years in there, Fudge describes him as acting horrifyingly...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    Was thinking over this since you mentioned it a few posts ago. Honestly dunno how vulnerable Malfoy would be to Umbridge's machinations. I think it depends on how much of a viper pit her parents trained her for. Canon pure-blood society is a monolith because of Rowling's "eww, classism and...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    I filter fics and art I come across by a couple of criterias that are personal, but work fairly well, them being: Do Malfoid and Hermione despise each other? And if they do, which one is proven right, if at all? Do they fight covertly like actual girls do? Ginny is a toss up, because Book 2/4...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    They're based on GCSEs and A-Levels. Brit education standards. GCSEs is just general education, to prove you aren't a blithering idiot, and A-Levels is what you want to study in-depth and maybe find a job in. At least, I think that's the general gist of it. Edit: Specifically, they're not...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    We don't even get a whiff of a girlfriend in Hogwarts. Maybe they tried dating him, smelled the train full of baggage and just pissed off after a night or so? There's only so much a girl can take from a boy with such raging issues against his own family/tribe/nation/whatever. At some point...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    Amelia Bones aside, there's an Order member like Hestia Jones or Emmeline Vance (although she got murdered). Or, because this is Sirius and Sirius is a dysfunctional rich boy with an unstable life who's development has been arrested and uprooted at least twice, I've got a feeling a witch much...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    At this point I'm pretty sure that Sirius just wants Harry to be married closer to him on the family tree more than he already is. Also, if he survives in this Malfoidverse, he can rub it in Narcissa's face. Actually, no, if he survives, Narcissa might plot to have him married so the Black...

    [Harry Potter] Malfoid Stories

    The genuinely baffling popularity Hermione enjoys can be boiled down to three things: 1) Emma Watson. Even then, she's more beautiful in the masculine 'girlboss' type of way that appeals to women than the neotenous way that appeals to men. 2) Rowling's insanely causally and morally disjointed...

    Heaven's Door (Trigun Maximum-Blue Archive)

    Last time I watched Trigun was back in the 00s and I need a big refresher. Need to go dust it off and break open the snackbox with it. The 90s were a wild time for studios to experiment around in, but they got the forlorn fantasy Western mood down perfect. I do remember Vash being some kind of...
