#and oh absolutely

[padfootastic]

(The idea that Remus wasn't the only werewolf at Hogwarts but they're just all keeping it a secret and Dumbledore doesn't tell them they're not alone is SUCH a concept! Kind of obsessed actually if Remus gets a shack protected by a murder tree what do the others get? It makes sense that they would want to separate them all when turning as they can't guarantee safety if they're together. Are there like? more shacks somewhere in the forest? A mini village of shacks that have so many protection spells on them not even an earthquake could do any damage to them?)

It being a personal favour to a friend make sooo much sense though. The way that people talk about werewolves in the books really doesn't lend itself to people thinking of kids as werewolves. They're gruesome hardened killers who want to tear the wizarding world apart! 11 year olds just... don't fit into that narrative at all. Dumbledore probably never thought 'oh let me see if I can do something for the other werewolf children' because how many would there even be? two others in the whole country? Those are outliers nothing needs to structurally change just for maybe a handful of kids.

Also re: his parents/Dumbledore telling Remus that going to Hogwarts is an amazing opportunity. Based on Remus' later personality I'd almost say that they(he?) also made it a point to specify that Dumbledore believed Remus specifically to be worthy of this chance. Just insane pressure on this scared eleven year old that he had to keep proving to Dumbledore that he was still worthy of the risk while he was at school. He could have gotten kicked out the moment he wasn't! (Would also be a way to explain why Remus was much more careful than James and Sirius) And later in life he would want to still show Dumbledore that it wasn't a mistake to think him worthy. His inability to keep a job (even if it isn't his fault but prejudice) would make him feel even worse about the whole situation!

THE SNIPPET!!!!! I'm obsessed it sounds fantastic! Sirius needs a good hug and some hot chocolate :( Poor guy :( (you should also get yourself some hot choco!!) Almost being haunted by love he doesn't think he deserves and can never get back :(((

The fact that order members being present would derail Harry and Sirius having a conversation is just so sad but so real.

Also to your tags on the new Sirius and Harry snippet (which was ALSO brilliant!!!). Harry would definitely respond to "acromantulas are predators!?" with some version of "yea. we did noticed that actually." Sarcastic little shit that he is. It's always so fun to see Sirius' response to all the things that happened to Harry (and the trio as a whole) but also how Harry then reacts when he encounters the first adult who puts him and not the result of those situations first.

gosh i KNOW right!!! literally a revolutionary concept, so so layered. sadly, the fic it was in didn’t delve into it too deeply, it only came out because of the aforesaid tragedies but truly, it makes you think no? if we didn’t have the shrieking shack plot, it would’ve honestly been a very plausible theory. (but god does a warded mini village of snacks sound ridiculously cool. even though it opens up avenues for dumbledore to be accused of forming his own light-indoctrinated werewolf pack ;)

oh, absolutely! kids being seen as the outliers to what is essentially a structural issue is so on brand. they’re such OBVIOUS victims that it just makes sense to help out. only in small, incremental, ways though bc they’re still monsters at heart but just enough to bring them into the very fringes of society instead of entirely outside of it ykno?

yesss and even the fact that, iirc remus doesn’t tell dumbles about padfoot in PoA because he’s ashamed? that he broke the headmasters trust in school? like, we consistently see remus just being. one overburdened mf.

oh man sirius is definitely getting hugs but i am running to the doc right now to put a note in for a scene on sirius getting hot chocolate. perhaps he wakes up from a nightmare and harry is already there and he makes his godfather sit down and practically inhale two cups of hot choc bc what is better than chocolate for driving away the terror?

TAKING NEW PATIENTS!

[secondbeatsongs]

for anyone too young to know this: watching The Truman Show is a vastly different experience now, compared to how it was before youtube and social media influencers became normal

before it was like, "what a horrifying thing to do to a human being! to take away their autonomy and privacy, all for the sake of profits! to create fake scenarios for them to react to, just to retain viewership! to ruin their happiness just so some corporate entity could harvest money from their very humanity! how could anyone do something so evil?"

and now it's like, "ah, yeah. this is still deeply fucked up, but it's pretty much what every influencer has been doing to their kids for a decade now. probably bad that we've normalized this experience"

Prompt idea: Danny has been attending Wayne family dinners for weeks now and he truly doesn’t know how he got this far

Danny has been without a home or a means to get food for a while because of either identity reveal gone bad or Dan timeline shenanigans. Either way he needs to eat. As a last ditch attempt Danny tries to attend/infiltrate a Wayne family dinner. He’s seen the Wayne kids around Gotham and he’s sure that he could look and act the part enough to get in the door and out with some bread rolls at least.

Was it his best idea? No.

But he sure as sugar ain’t firing on all cylinders rn.

And Bruce already has a gaggle of blue eyed, black haired children.

What’s one more?

Batfam of course notices immediately when a whole new kid shows up, grabs some miscellaneous pieces of food and then prattles off some excuse about “not being that hungry.” (Clearly a bald faced lie) And that they were “Going to the library to study for finals, bye Dad!”

1. No one skips out on family dinners. Even Jason was here.

2. Alfred sets the table for everyone ahead of time and the kid had no place to sit.

3. Nobody in this house studies anything beyond case files.

4. Nobody in this house calls Bruce Dad.

Danny thinks he is suffering from success. No matter where he is in Gotham someone picks him up and insists he’ll be late for family dinner which is unacceptable.

Alfred just wants to feed the boy.

The batkids are amused by his efforts to look as though he’s been here all along.

Bruce is drafting adoption papers as we speak.

as much as I get why lucanis is positioned as the one needed to kill ghilan'nain as the mage killer etc, I can't help but feel like it should've been davrin

like. there's something about the dalish elf with andruil's vallaslin, a grey warden, a monster hunter, hunting down the mother of all monsters, who creates monstrosities with the blight, who was once andruil's beloved.

ghilan'nain created the halla. she still cares for the halla, despite what she's become, despite being unable to create them anymore. davrin cared for the halla under his uncle's tutelage. assan cares for and nurses a sick and dying halla. assan, who's name means arrow in elven, when andruil's weapon was a bow, who's hunting instincts give way to something more protective.

davrin was taught the way of the three trees. it was created by andruil. andruil, the goddess of the hunt, also known as the goddess of sacrifice. davrin feels like a weapon sharpened to make that final sacrifice against the blight, a tool that once drove andruil mad, and has twisted ghilan'nain into something unrecognisable. andruil, blood and force, who loved a mortal for her creations and raised her to godhood.

would ghilan'nain see andruil in him? would that offer something more to her character than just oh she's evil?

the dalish tell a legend of ghilan'nain and a hunter who bested her. maybe it was a prophecy instead.

"don't make it political!" .... what proportion of death and suffering must occur before politics are involved. if this isn't political, what is even the point of any politics, ever. of democracy. the words are "by the people for the people." if i am going to be left alone by my elected representatives to "figure it out" - to undergo damage, hardship, fear. what the fuck did i elect them for. what was their job. the entire point is that they handle this shit. this is why we were supposed to be electing leaders.

poverty is political. misogyny is political. gun control is political. climate change is political. how much aid a community gets is political. what the fuck are you talking about. it's been political this whole fucking time.
