i adore the The Animagus Project by sleepingontheway :''))

🟢The Animagus Project by sleepingontheway

Summary: What on earth was McGonagall thinking? Hermione had never worked with Daphne Greengrass. She had never spoken to Daphne Greengrass. They had shared classes for over five years now, and tonight might be the first time Hermione had ever even heard her voice. ___________________________________________ In which Hermione is tasked with completing a long, complicated project with Daphne Greengrass: enigma.

for @sleepingontheway! thank you for writing and sharing The Animagus Project <3 when i first read the fic, i was OBSESSED. Here's something I've been working on in honor of your fic :>

Reading the POTO novel for the first time and for as much as people claim “ALW romanticized the Phantom” I would argue he “romanticized” Raoul. Raoul in the book is annoying af and has a really weird superiority-inferiority complex. Just your average 21 yr old scrawny young man. Not at all like the Prince Charming he’s made out to be in the musical.

He’s out here slut shaming Christine LIKE WHAT??????

Honestly, The Phantom AND Raoul got a glow up in the musical, they should be thankful.

Knighthoods of the Mail

(pages 919-925)

I really like both these panels, the extreme downward angle on Jade who has the disadvantage of being small and the advantage of being alive and angry, and the close up on Grandpa, both of them lit by the strange pink-orange firelight. Fire and burning is a threat we’ve seen for all four kids now, so it creates that parallel, and also a surreal atmosphere from the composition of both images.

Jade is also speaking in the narration on this page – it’s italicized and first person instead of second, written in her register. None of the other kids have done this yet, the narrator is always between them and us. I like the implication that Jade is overriding the narrator but also the idea that the narrator is like ‘you know what, I’m taking this page off, I’m just gonna let her shout’. It’s fun, and I’m interested to see if it’ll happen more.

I am still pretty fucked up over this reveal but personally I would have done it a little differently – the gut punch of ‘He was so much easier to deal with when he was alive’ (p.920) could have been SO much more effective if it hadn’t already been obvious from their Strife that this is not a living man. Even keeping the original sequence but publishing the pages at the same time would have worked, but sitting for a day between the Strife sequence and that line meant it didn’t hit as hard for me.

I do still have a lot of questions. Jade knows Grandpa is dead but seems to still genuinely believe they’re communicating, and who’s to say they’re not? Who’s to say Jade’s powers don’t tell her exactly what Grandpa is saying or would say in this circumstance? If so, it must be a lot harder psychologically to escape his expectations. But even if Jade’s powers don’t come into it, there’s practical concerns – how long ago did Grandpa die, and does anyone besides Jade even know? It’s easy to say Jade should redecorate the house but living so remotely where mail has to be airdropped in balloons, she’s probably not physically capable of that, and can’t get other people to do it for her. Typheus is a little big to captchalogue and where else would Jade even put him?

So I guess I kind of get it? In the sense of Jade keeping the only life and routine she’s ever known, going through the same motions with a stuffed grandpa that she once did with a real one, because the barriers to doing anything different are so high? It’s really easy to adapt to a strange situation when you don’t have a point of comparison to know it’s strange, and when it happens so regularly that it becomes like autopilot.

We cut back to PM, my absolute beloved, one of my most favorite characters. They haven’t been seriously hurt by Jade’s explosive powers but their head wrappings are on fire (btw is the pointy tail of their head covering the shape of the fabric or the shape of their head??) and some of the mailboxes are tragic casualties of the event, which I may never forgive Jade for.

And then one of the metal worms rescues a mailbox! The all important mailbox with the letter to Dr David Brinner in it! Redemption arc for the metal worms who have definitely learned from their predecessors’ mistakes. This is a beautiful, angelic worm deserving of high honors, and PM knows it, giving them an equally metallic heart. If the postal service had an equivalent for a knighthood for a postal worker who goes above and beyond to preserve the integrity of the mail then PM would award that to this worm. I am thinking about PM as a dispenser of justice – someone with a really strong, inflexible moral code who is willing to impartially punish those who break it and reward those who keep it.

> PM: Bequeath the mailman’s cap to this hero.

I wish the sdr2 fans would stop trying to justify what they did. Like yeah they were brainwashed but they weren't brainwashed into specific actions, they were brainwashed to give in to despair.

Junko wanted them on the side of despair so she made them feel so distraught they gave up on living. The brainwashing would've just been making them go "I need to make people feel as bad as I do" it was never "you're going to do this and then this"

Like Mikan's obsession with Junko was an unhealthy coping mechanism that Junko did not choose. That was Mikan being attached to the first person she saw that felt as bad as she did, not Junko being super manipulative.

The video she saw was footage of the student council killing eachother, at no point did the video show Junko being like "you should fall in love with me btw". And we see how Junko narrated when she was making the rest of the class and Yukizome watch it, we can figure out roughly what she would've said.

Same with all of them, they followed her because she felt as bad as they did and took charge. I bet if one of them took the leader role before Junko could and went "we're all going to kick tables to get it out of our systems" they would've sat and kicked tables (first example I thought of idk). But Junko wanted to spread the despair so she got them to recognize her control from the start.

They saw something horrific and they were completely broken by it. If someone comforted them or helped them through it, they probably could've been okay (and Junko knew that, that's why she took Yukizome first). But they were too fragile to console eachother alone and Junko was the first person to tell them how to react.

If you see something that traumatic, you probably wouldn't know what to do. If someone told them how to move past it, I bet they could've. But the only one "helping" was saying to make other people feel bad too and they were too distraught to fight it. Their emotions were too raw and intense to think it through properly which means they were easy to use.

She probably told them to kill but the brainwashing was just making them feel despair. It was breaking their spirits so they wouldn't mind doing it all on their own, not making them do things like a puppet. This gets proven when Ryoma first sees the video. To use Mikan as an example again, she tries to SA him and when Junko sees, she's angry and stops her. And she says "what's the matter with you? Five whole minutes I was gone!" (I'm assuming it's similar in the sub) because she didn't tell her what she needed to do, she just told her to feel despair.

This is Mikan acting against what Junko wanted, you can't say Junko made her do that.

Junko barely even knew them. Like Teruteru eating his mother, do you really think she'd know he was such a momma's boy? Do you think she'd know that much about him in general? That's why her "motive video" was so generic, she didn't know them enough to break them individually and she wouldn't be able to choose tasks that suit them so specifically.

Them taking Junko's body parts was because of their despair but it wasn't because they were forced to. They embraced their sorrow so tightly it choked them but instead of pulling away they pulled it closer until it died and they started to wear it as a scarf instead.

I don't particularly like Junko but a lot of sdr2 fans are putting all of everyone's guilt onto her and that's not fair. They did the atrocities bc they chose to and ignoring that takes away part of their characters. You can't just "they didn't mean it!!" out of every argument because they absolutely did.

Ppl are acting like she picked out every single action instead of recognizing that she just recorded murder and went "life sucks, here's proof, you should do crime so everyone agrees"

i think what most people fail to understand is that theres no fucking way that israel intelligence community wouldnt know about the attack that happened. they have spies literally everywhere and theyre frighteningly good at their job, just look at some cases of them stealing data from other countries and you will see. so the most likely scenario in my head is that israeli government decided to let the attack happen, let the people die, bc of the greater good of forcing more oppression onto palestinians and deeming any of the activists as terrorists. now they can say "look its not our fault!!! we're doing this for the security of the country, not just israelis, and our laws and legislations are only to control the terrorism" which is a big fat lie.

people need to understand that when oppression gets too suffocating radical groups are born. this is why there are alt right muslim extremists in europe, bc theyre being actively oppressed. but what they do benefits the government (as in, they can now point at the extremists and claim all muslims/middle easterns are like this). so in the end, theres a high chance that the recent hamas attack will benefit the genocide of the palestinian—a truly ironic tragedy, the acts of which we (the middle easterns) already know from memory.

my heart goes out to all of my palestinian siblings. i hope the nightmarish genocidal machine of israel finally dies, and that you can experience peace in the end 🇵🇸

I don't understand how gow youtubers that post these “whAt iS gOiNg to HaPpEn iN tHe NexT gAmE???” vids just completely ignore Atreus. They are even more in denial about Kratos stepping down from the mc role than me about Heimdall kicking the bucket, it’s crazy. That one guy deadass went “Well maybe Atreus will die and that will lead to Kratos going to another pantheon�� MISS MA’AM ATREUS HAS BEEN SET UP TO GO ON THE JOURNEY TO A DIFFERENT LAND WHILE KRATOS IS HELPING SETTLE THE MATTERS IN THE 9 REALMS??
