The Paradox of Power: Goblin Repression and Financial Control in the Wizarding World

This has been in my drafts for a minute.

I am really fascinated by the status of goblins in the wizarding world. 

Wizards,simultaneously repress goblins while entrusting them with the critical task of managing their finances.

Within world, Goblins appear to have human levels of sentience and are intelligent and skilled beings, particularly in the fields of metallurgy and banking. Despite these attributes (or perhaps because of them and the ability to use magic) they have historically been marginalised and oppressed by the wizarding community. This repression is rooted in long-standing prejudices and a desire to maintain a hierarchical structure where wizards are at the apex. Goblins, like other magical creatures such as house-elves and centaurs, are viewed with suspicion and often denied the rights and privileges afforded to wizards.

Yet despite this repression, wizards have handed over control of their finance and economy seemingly with no concern.

The entrustment of financial control to goblins can be seen as a pragmatic decision by the wizarding community. Wizards recognise that goblins possess unique skills and knowledge that make them exceptionally capable of handling complex financial matters.

The coexistence of repression and reliance on goblin financial expertise highlights a paradox within the wizarding world. On one hand, wizards seek to maintain dominance over goblins through social and political means. On the other hand, they are compelled to rely on goblins for essential economic functions.

Wizards' reliance on goblins for financial management indicates a begrudging acknowledgment of goblin capabilities. It reveals an underlying tension where wizards, despite their prejudices, must confront the reality that goblins excel in areas where they themselves may lack proficiency. This reliance does not necessarily translate to a recognition of equality or a dismantling of systemic discrimination. In fact it can be viewed as a reinforcement of wizarding authority by giving Goblin’s the ability to manage wealth but not giving them access to it or to magic itself. Although it is very arrogant in its assumptions that Goblins will never rebel or disrupt the financial system.

I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

Happy Asian & Pacific Islander Heritage Month!

Keep in mind that while this isn't canon, these are both headcanons and our& introjects' identities ( which oftentimes are but aren't always interchangeable ) — this is who they& are and we'd& appreciate if you respected their& identities as you would with a singlet's. This was made for our& constellation / system in mind — as plural people. Please don't treat them& like rp muses. Singlets can reblog but don't clown. Okay to reblog as fandom. Do not reblog this as headcanons, roleplay, aesthetics, kins, F/Os, IRL/Me or D/A's. We& are a mixed, multigenic DID system and we& are not your aesthetic.
