misukazu 21

(if you saw me fuck up the other one no you didnt)

EDIT I THINK THIS ONE GOT A LITTLE FUCKED UP TOO BUT IT’S... READABLE...

questions from this post, and answers originally written for this thread!!

If you had to change the pairing’s very first meeting, how would you change it?    their canon first meeting is already so good SHDGFLJASHG but if i had to choose a different one that's still within the context of mankai... meeting as kids and losing touch and coming back together completely different at mankai

What song fits your pairing the most?    uhhHHhhHHH i don't have a real answer but i do have a partial playlist for one of my misukazu aus and the only two songs in it are furaregai girl by sayuri and champagne's for celebrating by mayday parade and i feel like that says enough sldhgalsdhfalsh

What is your favorite AU/prompt idea/trope for your pairing?     ALL MISUKAZU AUS ARE GOOD but. i really love any au where their first meeting is in the future and both are still kind of lost but they're Older and it's hard to let themselves fall into the easy trust they find in canon. i just think that'd be neat.

Do you prefer canon ideas or do you have your own headcanons for them?     I'VE SAID THIS MANY TIMES BUT CANON MISUKAZU GIVES OFF MADE FOR EACH OTHER VIBES AND USUALLY I DON'T VIBE WITH THAT BUT THEY REALLY ARE WHAT THE OTHER NEEDS... AND I THINK EVEN IF THEY HAD TO PART THEY'D STILL BE ABLE TO BE BETTER PEOPLE BC THEY HAD MET

Favorite canon moment of them?     THERE ARE SO MANY but the one that immediately comes to mind is misumi carrying drunk kazu to bed (latest bday line) because drunk kazu is so soft and it implies that misumi wanted to wish happy birthday to kazu pretty late... what did he want to give him...

Least favorite canon moment of them?     hmm... there's not really one i can think of??? IM SORRY I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY I LOVE ALL THEIR CANON MOMENTS

Favorite headcanon trope/idea? (Your own or someone else’s)    this is somehow both vague and very specific but i think misukazu gives off this vibe: He's beautiful. I can't tell him. or "Kazu is always beautiful~" Don't call me that, Kazu thinks. I'm not. so... insecurities i guess ????? AJSHAJJD

Favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics?     THIS IS GOING TO SOUND SO CHEESY but i love how /real/ they allow themselves to be around each other. misukazu at their best is when one thinks "you're you. and i love that you" and the other knows this. i just. THEY VALIDATE THE OTHER SO MUCH CRIES

Least favorite aspect of them/their relationship dynamics? (Can be headcannon)     this isn't a "least fav" so much as "it makes me sad" but if either of them showed any sign of not being interested anymore the other is more likely to give up then push anything. sort of like "it was bound to happen, so i'll enjoy now until they drop me" or EVEN WORSE they think the other would be better off without them and pushes them away. so yeah the fact i can see one of these happening makes me sad.

If they aren’t a canon pairing, how would you get them together?     they give off "everyone knows we're dating but us" energy but at the same time i feel like they'd acknowledge there's something and just not define it bc a) they don't need to (misumi) or b) they're too nervous to (kazu). in other words i think one day they are holding hands and misumi says "kazu? is this dating?" and kazu holds his breath before asking "do you want it to be?"

If you had to take them and plunk them into another fandom, what fandom would that be? Why?     i think theyd be hilarious in any sports animanga (kazu is manager tho bc noodle arms but maybe they bond when misumi walks him through some of his usual training menu one night - ahem. anyway) BUT ALSO horimiya au...

How hard is it write/draw your pairing? Scale of 1-10.     AJDHAJDHSF I REALLY LOVE THEM SO IT COMES PRETTY EASILY... but sometimes you try to put them in tropes and realize they would Just Not Work Like That. idk where i'm going with this. but yeah. anyway 3 for sankaku.

Is there a pairing that you think rivals them?     in terms of what i ship, i tend to ship kazu and misumi individually with a lot of dif charas AJDHAKD. but in terms of like... in-universe "rival" pairings: kazu side: tsuzukazu (maybe, lbr it would take them 273924 yrs to actually get together), kazu x someone from winter (i... have my reasons but they'd take longer than what this answer entails) misumi side: ... surprisingly none that i can think of ahdjahd

Which character of the pairing do you like more? (Would you ever pair yourself with them?)     you know that tweet that's like "sometimes a ship is just your two favs"? yeah that's misukazu for me. but if i had to choose... misumi AJDHAJHDSF I HONESTLY WASNT THAT INTO YUME UNTIL THESE TWO CAME AROUND (NOT COUNTING 707)... but yeah if they wanted to hold me in their arms i wouldn't oppose

Which character of your pairing would be the one to break up with the other? Why?     OOOOOH BOY well. i think it could be either of them. i don't think they'd break up for lack of love but too much love and wanting the other to be happy and thinking that the only way to give them that is to let them go. so i guess the question is which of them would be more likely to be selfish and hold on. thinking this way, i think misumi would be more likely to break-up, bc kazu has lots of friends who are better than him!! and misumi is more ready to leave if he thinks he needs to than kazu is. now im sad.

Are they relatable as characters or as a pairing?     THE NUMBER OF TIMES I'VE BEEN CALLED KAZU KIN... in all seriousness kazu's struggles with speaking out and (shinobi spoilers) his uncertainty over his future hit real close to home... while i don't relate as much as misumi, his struggles always manage to tear my heart into pieces... ((oversharing alert) i guess what really separates me from misumi is his struggle with his desire to connect with family who has treated him poorly... whereas im more "lol fuck you") tldr i relate to kazu slightly more LOL

Did you once/ever dislike one/both of them?     i never disliked them but i was NOT expecting either of them to shoot up so quickly into my favs list ahdjahdjf. also i started shipping them Immediately After reading summer main story so there's that

On an estimate, how many posts have you made about them?    as of september 28th 2020 i make up 11/78 fics on ao3 in the romantic misukazu tag and 2/12 in the platonic one. i may have brainrot.

What made you decide to ship them?     TBH I FINISHED THE MAIN STORY AND WENT "OH MY GOD... THAT'S MY SHIP" but now that i'm here i continue to ship them because they have the potential to bring out both the best and the worst in each other and i'm all about that

Favorite genre for them? (Angst, fluff, etc.)     angst. i just. angst hurt/comfort all the way. im so sorry babies.

lol you thought there would just be 21 ANYWAY EXTRA 1: how do they spend breaks/vacation?    they'd travel a lot when they're older!! kazunari loves to travel and misumi would follow kazunari anywhere (also, new triangles!!) so they go somewhere new whenever they have the time. however i think eventually one or both of their future careers will take them anywhere and everywhere anyway, so their "ideal vacation" might turn into an evening in, cuddling and catching up (as if they didn't already send play-by-play updates over the phone of whatever they did during the day)

EXTRA 2: first date?     i don't they ever have an explicit first date, but if asked they'll cite the time they had a picnic in the park turned triangle hunt turned accidental dip in the duck pond. at least, kazunari will. misumi just tilts his head and wonders what you mean.

EXTRA 3: gifts?     IM FEELING REALLY CHEESY SO I'M MAKING THIS ABOUT ANNIVERSARY GIFTS they both end up getting each other jewelry (although kazu was really really nervous bc he wasn't sure if misumi would wear it). kazu gets misumi a bracelet (with triangles, of course although misumi only wears it sometimes because he doesn't want to lose it) and misumi gets kazu a pair of triangle earrings "so we can match!" and kazunari combusts at the implications

EXTRA 4: sharing clothes     THEY'RE ACTUALLY AROUND THE SAME SIZE (and tend to wear baggier stuff barring kazu's skinny jeans)... but they have completely different Styles so it's still really obvious when steal each other's stuff ahdjajdkaf. as cute as kazu would look in sumi's sweatshirt i think the much more likely scenario is kazu wrapping misumi in his jackets because this boy nEVER BRINGS HIS ANYWHERE anyway just. accidental shared wardrobe misukazu.

EXTRA 5: lake house au    consider: kazunari living in a house on the shore of a lake for a summer for Art Purposes (and a little bit for Dealing With Life purposes but he's not gonna admit that) and meets his lake neighbor misumi who kazu thinks might be a ghost or spirit for a while but he actually just lives further down the lake and misumi unknowingly helps kazu with his Life Issues and maybe they fall in love

story process challenge

i was tagged  by @xldkx​​ to do this challenge, created by @herpixels​​​ , like a month? a month and a half? ago and it’s been sitting half finished in my drafts for nearly as long. *sigh* (regardless, i love stuff like this so even if it takes me forever to get to it, i appreciate the tags! 💕). 

i decided to answer all the qs because it took me damn long enough to get to this, so i might as well put some extra elbow grease into it (plus it was fun!). btw it’s all going under a cut b/c it is long. i apologize in advance.

1. My Writing Process - used to be a hot damn mess. literally word docs strewn throughout my pc. However, I recently switched to using Onenote (it’s what i use to organize my d&d campaign notes) and hoo-boy is it so much nicer. this is how it’s set up and it’s honestly night and day. i can have a page with outlines, a page to organize & order screenshots, and a separate page for drafting text, and i can easily toggle though them without having to switch windows? a big thumbs up from me.

When it comes to actual writing- I used to write my drafts in novel format, which i enjoyed but it made “converting” them into tumblr posts time consuming and frustrating. I ended up scrapping most of the text in the process, retaining pretty much only the dialogue. 

Anyway, nowadays I write in more of a screenplay format: dialogue only + key scene information with the occasional note to self. 

I do keep a master “arcs” page with key events and each individual character’s arc from beginning to end and secondary “outline” pages with slightly more detailed outline for each leg of the project. No screencaps b/c spoilers galore! 

My typical work flow process for a scene goes: (1) brainstorm scene ideas, (2) take screenshots, (3) organize screenshots into a rough storyboard, (4) add 1st draft of text, (5) edit photos, (6) edit text, (7) upload to "drafts” here on tumblr, (8) let sit for a bit (9) take a final look at things/proofread and edit as needed. It may sound counterintuitive, but i find it much easier to write dialogue for a set of images rather than attempt to take images based on prewritten text. I feel more comfortable editing and tweaking tone and content in the text this way. Otherwise, I get frustrated when I “can’t” shoot a scene exactly as it appeared in my head.

2. How I build my scenes - A lot of what i do is rooted in gameplay, therefore my sets are usually (a) play-tested and (b) not super pretty. I’ve certainly improved at decorating & building over the years but more often than not I download lots off tumblr and the gallery because I don’t have the patience, aptitude, or time to build all of my own sets. That being said, I frequently gut builds only to build a number of completely unrelated mini sets inside to reduce the number of times i have to replace lots. I also keep a list of “important locations” and where certain characters live / will move to, to help keep this all straight as there aren’t nearly enough lots per neighborhood or even per world in this damn game...

my least favorite part of scene building is actually decorating. lol. Don’t get me wrong, I love clutter. I honestly do. but fuck me if i expect myself to spend hours meticulously decorating a set, spend another 3 hours toggling back and forth b/w BB & live modes adjusting things to get rid of the damn routing errors. (yeah, yeah, i know i could ignore them, they’re not important, especially in those scenarios where i’m using a set for screenshots and nothing else, but idk. it really grinds my gears.) and then have to replace the lot like a week later because there aren’t enough lots in the game. *sigh*

3. CC/Pose Making - i do not consider myself to be a cc creator nor a pose maker but i do dabble occasionally. And to be completely honest i’d much rather spend my time doing other stuff, so it’s not high on my list of priorities atm. plus there are so many talented cc creators in this community; i can usually get by with what’s already out there.

4. Getting in the zone - Honestly, I do a lot of brainstorming for plot & dialogue in the shower. I don’t have any particular playlists to get me “in the writing mood” but I do enjoy listening to music as I work. Either instrumental stuff or simply artists/songs I like. If something just so happens to “fit” a scene I’m working on, one i’ve got planned, or even just gives me vibes for a certain character or group, I add a quick note to the top of said scene’s draft. Most of the time I stick it in the recesses of my brain and add a quick link when I finally get to the point of posting the draft to tumblr. For whatever reason, when I have one of those “oh this song is perfect for X” moments it’s essentially ingrained in my mind for the rest of eternity. 

5. The screenshot folder - this will most likely give some of you out there major anxiety. but i swear it’s an organized chaos. :)

yep. 32.9gb of screenshots & related things... 

So with the raws from a single random scene selected, you can see i take roughly 10 screenshots per image posted. not terrible i guess but i’m working on it. Typically I take screenshots and once I’m done editing a scene I’ll move them from the general folder to a more specific project folder.

6. Captions - I’ll answer this in three parts:

for my townie story. not really. I prefer using the text box. I tend to write (& re-write) the dialogue for each one of these scenes several times over as I add more “scenes” into my drafts. It would be incredibly inefficient, time consuming, and would waste a lot more space on my pc to have to save .psds of each image just so i could edit dialogue when I decide: “oh hey maybe so and so needs to bring up X in this scene” and then change my mind an hour later.

for niko, noor, & co. I’m a text on image type gal here. don’t really know why, but it gives the project a different energy. ironically it makes it feel more laid-back to me. which i guess makes sense, it’s a much more light-hearted “story” than my townie project. which is, imo, very soapy haha.

for legacy stuff. all text goes below the images in the text box. reasoning: it’s gameplay, I don’t brainstorm, outline, or pre-write for this. I play the game, take screenshots, plug ‘em into my drafts and write some commentary / dialogue to go along with it.

7. Editing - i am a creature of habit and have not majorly changed my editing process in probably a year and a half (when I began using reshade and had to adjust my color correcting psd). it’s a super basic system:

drag & drop my “color correction” psd.

run actions in ps. (i made my own “all-in-one” actions to really streamline the process; i have different “actions sets” for my premades’ story and for other things that get posted to tumblr. even if no one else notices it, i like the little details that keep my projects separate and “identifiable”. 

voila. all set to upload.

sometimes i crop images, add “text effects”, or do more in depth editing (i.e. editing a phone screen or adding rain etc.) but overall i try and keep it simple for myself. 

8. Throwback - i posted an image of one of the first (but never posted) scenes I’d written for my townie project up above. but as for how would i redo a scene i’d already posted. well i’m currently re-doing my townie story so i guess i’ll just say you’ll see how it’s redone when i get to part 1! 😉

anyway, no tags because i’m so embarrassingly late to this party but if you hadn’t gotten around to this tag, wanted to do it but didn’t get a tag, or started it and left it to sit and now you’re thinking “oh god that was months ago should i even post this anymore?!?” consider yourself tagged by me and go ahead and post it for all to see!

WINTER!!!!! i am being careful to avoid spoilers for this haha :) anyways!!! winter!!! tsumugi!!!! I just got at the part where he received the magic doll and ahhhhh I am so excited. also when they introduce the play script? I’ll really lose it then. anyways. I feel like homare would be perfect for the XD face and I am just... very glad he’s in this group I think it’d be a bit too serious otherwise lol? oh but I am living for the drama of it so. that’s also good. ummm let’s see. hisoka is great I just think I need a bit of time to know more abt him! and also the fact that tasuku calls taichi nanao is very nice it’s just like. idk he’s considerate. and then he’s lowkey an asshole at tsumugi but understandably so I can’t fault either! I’m realllllly excited for their conversation to come... oh and azuma!! his opening scene in autumn slapped and he’s so mysterious I’m intrigued. god I’m just realizing that now that I’m on winter once I wrap that up I’m gonna be able to understand the event plays... wowwwww!! ahhh anyways. super hype to figure out more!

WELCOME IN WINTER AAAAAAA

yes omg do blacklist my liveblog tag that’ll be for the best bc i ramble so much for them dLKFJDLFKDF

BUT WINTER!!! YES!

and omg the magic doll yessss!! so good!! Tsumu!! and the play yess!

AND TRUE HOMARE FITS SO GOOD and yesss he is essential to the troupe really, i just love what he brings to them, else yeah they’re all so serious, thanks god Homare is here to live up the situation dlfjdkfd

Hisoka is prob the one with the slowest build up out of all of them really, which is already dlkfjdl bc Winter has the slowest build up. Honestly i didn’t expect to care this much about Hisoka on my first read and then he just grew on me and well *waves at self* yeah things happened. (tho i’ll say i DID start to care about him in the Winter chapter, not with the events so it’s not like it’s not there in his intro either-)

AND TASU.. YEAH.. He’s soft toward Taichi... He tends to call most people by their last name (the only ones i have in mind that he doesn’t call by their last name are Tsumugi and Azuma (he calls him Azuma-san) i think? and the without last name gang, but i need to pay more attention to that) and i do think he does this out of respect but yeah with Taichi you can feel they have an history and i mean. he’s sweet and respectful with Taichi which i’m really soft for considering their starting situation..

but yeah with tsumu he’s. yeah. Everything will make sense in time, tbh Tasuku took a long time to grow on me but again *waves at everything* stuff happened. 

AZUMA IS SO GOOD YES his intro in Autumn was already *chief kiss* so to see him more in Winter... gnhhhh Azuma... Azumaaaaaa.... now that’s a chara who didn’t “grow” on me i was ride or die on first glance mann.

ANYWAY I really hope you’ll enjoy Winter and all that’s coming for them :3c 

i’ll be perfectly honest i liked Winter on my first read but it was probably my least favorite troupe (as in they were good but i liked the others three better), then it’s just that the more i thought about it and the more i went on the events, so many things clicked for me and i’ve fell so in love with them now i’m Where I’m At Now, so it’s also why i worry about overhyping Winter because, yeah. But god my feelings for them now are off the charts so i cannot contain anything anymore dLKFJDFLK so i just hope you’ll at least enjoy your first read through and then maybe we’ll see further down the line how you feel for them but yeAH...

AND YEAH!!! Once you’re done with Winter i can send you the drive and you’ll be able to bing all of the event stories, waiting to unlock act 2 ahah. so many stories available to you then and i cannot wait for you to experience them all :3c

i’m so glad you seem to have fun and want to see more tho!! i’m so so happy that you got invested into it aaahh

hoping you’ll enjoy the ride as it goes!! keep me updated ;OOO

Archive 81 spoilers

is it suprising tht my favorite guy(ish!) character in my archive 81 relisten is mark (as well as dromen...fuck i wish i wish i could spoiler tag on  tumblr like i can on tvtropes and discord) b/c like... theres so many unanswered questions??? hes just .... so fucking gay for dan? like hes such a fucking nerd

“Do you want to hear about the Patriots? I don’t! DAN: Go sports! MARK: Exactly. Go sports.”

also this exchange.... marc probably meant for it come across as nerdboy angry at best friends gf misogyny but....it just reads as misogynistic gay jealousy

“MARK: I mean, are you still interested in this being a thing? Are you getting bored with yet another unconventionally attractive, slightly controlling, brunette of Eastern European descent? DAN: Dude. MARK: Sorry, it’s just, you’ve got a type. Because I’m fine with whatever. It’s just, Tanya contacted me, and she hates me. She thinks I’m the worst. For some reason. But yeah, she thinks you’re going stir-crazy.“

like.... ‘im fine with whatever....’ are u mark ??? 

MARK: Hey Dan, what’s up? Nice to hear from you again. (excited) Did you finally break up with Tanya? DAN: What? No, I, what makes you say that? MARK: Oh, she’s been posting so many subtweets. Lots of like, melancholy kind of mainstream folk music. Starbucks stuff. Anyway, do I finally get to talk shit about Tanya? Because I really really want to talk about her terrible taste in books. Like, she prefers Harry Potter to-

hes just pathetic here is comical??? who hates their friends partner so much for the pettiest reasons? like to the point ur not even bothering to pretend to be sad? like again you can read mark as just ur standard garden variety asshole and maybe tht was Marcs intention but like.... idk considering how much hes shown to care about dan in the podcast framing device? and then later on the way Dromen talks about Mark ....

MARK: Is it? Because I don’t know anymore. Dan, I care about you, and I’d like to see you again soon, OK? (A pause) DAN: I’m close to something, I can feel it. I need to finish this story. I need to free myself of it. Then I’ll see you again. It won’t be long. Goodbye Mark. SFX: Hangs up the phone. DAN: Deep sigh MARK: (quiet and heartbroken) I should have tried to… I should have done something. But I didn’t. I… don’t know what else to say

Like ....marc sollinger.....marc what did you mean by heartbroken??? marc? 

TANYA: Dan, are you ok? Mark’s worried about you. And he doesn’t usually talk to me.

lol i tried to find the dromen scenes in the transcripts but...... they aren’t there, hes just there as Mark,,, so dromen was added probably when they had to add the golden age? which ....fascinating? like ok heres marks dialogue at the end of s2

SUIT (CAROLINE): I was. I have been here too long. Daniel Powell is still alive, he might prove useful- MARK: Dan’s- SFX: Mark rushes over to Dan MARK: Dan! Oh god what did they do to you? Dan? Can you hear me? It’s me, it’s Mark! Wake up! Wake up! SUIT (CAROLINE): He is unconscious. He was… modified. You will have to do what is necessary before you take him with you. You have your knife? MARK: But… that’s… SUIT (CAROLINE): He will survive. Before that, I would ask you for a favor.

MARK: Dan, Dan, can you hear me? I have to… cut that off of you, before I can take you home. But you’ll be home soon, OK, and we’ll figure out a way to… make you normal again. Oh god, I’m so sorry.

and theres other stuff too but Marks interactions w Suit are .... simultaneously more and less gutwrenching than Dromens

And, I have to… become something powerful enough to help Dan, this ritual will let me do that. And with everything the cult did for me, it was worth a shot, right? So yeah, I hope hearing this was entertaining, if nothing else. I’m off to try and find Dan… SFX: Radio weirdness MARK: (As Mark talks he starts to become Dromen) Oh.. oh shit, what’s happening to me, what’s happening to me, what’s happening to… us.

god like... i cant wait to relisten and note the stuff thts different

and like ... the scene w static man and dromen just in text doesnt pull the heartsstrings as much

DAN: Marc, Marc, is that you? DROMEN: Dan? What are you doing here? We’re still- FLUNKIE 2: Where’s that voice coming from? FLUNKIE 1: What the hell is happening? DAN: Oh good, this is perfect.

...

STATIC MAN: Ugh, what an asshole, right? Anyway, you can make it happen, or I can continue doing this SFX: Tape sound DAN: It’s me, it’s Dan, Marc, why did you abandon me? I trusted you- DROMEN: Stop! (A beat) DROMEN: Nicholas and Christine will no longer be pursued. You have our word.

..

STATIC MAN: Oh, definitely, the robot weirdo doesn’t lie, I don’t think he can now.

hmm, its interesting Dromen looks different to different ppl but like both christine and nicholas as robotic as well....? but yeah like ... ‘i dont think he can now’ so static man def knows at least Most of the dromark story though i do wonder if in the podcast itself static man uses he pronouns....

@foyernormanchapel   *ROLLS IN UR TAG COMMENTS*

Cut for, uh...spoilers??  For my own fic lmao

#so law enforcement can use unforgivable curses even during peace time??? that could be dodgy  #using imperius to enforce good behaviour now that's a head ache too  #felt bad about tina running around in a wild goose hunt as well tbh  #mr graves has a handful of ethical dilemmas on hand...  #''if you decide to remember i'll write to you again if that's all right. i miss you''  #gosh dang it that was painful  #and the gravity of credence's situation really sank in this chapter  #like....... what to do with the angry magic whirlpool..............  #like...... how...............  #anyhoo another great chapter!!!!!!  #so excited to see where this goes  #fic rec  #***oh wait nvm grindelwald is running around makes sense to allow unforgivables  

RE: Unforgivables, yeah, because the tenor of the time is "terrorist threat mode," I decided Picquery has granted special powers, similar to those of wartime, at least to her Director of Security.*  Idk that yr bog-standard Auror is similarly authorized, tho.  Tina wouldn't be OK with using them, even if she could.  

* Considering that he can also summarily order executions lmao--I mean, even assuming that bit in the film was Grindels going rogue, and NOT standard/legal MACUSA procedure, if nothing else Grindels seemed to think he-as-Graves could get away with summarily executing a foreign national and a government employee.  Like, maybe he'd get a wrist-slap for not following proper protocols??  Or did he plan to cover it up completely idk.  Those smiley executioner ladies tho ._. MACUSA WHY.

The ethics of using magical mind control to stop child abuse, amirite?  I'm honestly not sure I have a problem with Graves doing what he did in this specific instance, especially not if I compare Mary Lou's fate here to possible alternatives: A.) no change to status quo, she just goes on abusing kids with impunity, B.) poetic justice per JKR, i.e. she gets violently killed by the violent force she's largely responsible for creating, or C.) if she were to be convicted by the criminal justice system of the abuse and assault we know she committed, years of imprisonment in which her physical freedom is curtailed.  Here, she's alive and largely free to go about her life, she just can't...set kids on fire anymore...forgive me if I'm not losing a lot of sleep over that outcome (I too am ethically dubious lmao).  But it's not scaleable, is the thing.  Like, I'm probably not gonna agitate for legalization of the Imperius Curse for systemic use.  XD;

Anyway, I think Mr. G is trying, but if he were better versed in No-Maj child protection efforts maybe he would've just...called the NYSPCC...lol, next time get a No-Maj lawyer, buddy.  Even if he were to use appropriate channels, tho, that would take time, and in the meantime ig he prefers dodgy mind control to leaving Modesty in danger of physical harm.

Re: what to do about angry magic whirlpool, oh man, thank you, am extremely glad to know the problem has been set up as intended!  (Confidence level about plot: zero)
