Broken promises pact AU 02

instead of leaving for good, Sherlock deliberately returns moments later, tossing an absurdly large, wrapped package onto the coffee table.

"What’s this?" John asks, raising an eyebrow, curiosity piqued.

"Just a little something to remind you of what you’ll be missing". Sherlock replies, smirking.

"What could you possibly give me that I would miss?" John counters, unwrapping the box only to find a hideously knitted sweater.

"A reminder of your atrocious taste", Sherlock quips, a teasing glint in his eyes. “You think I’ll wear this?” John retorts, but the way his lips curl betrays his amusement.

“I’ll bet you wear it every day to remember the man you’ve lost,” Sherlock says, smugly

Elain’s Lumpy Sweaters

An Elriel Headcanon

Elain has taken up knitting and knits everyone in the IC sweaters every fall. She’s not very good yet but intent on practicing. The sweaters are lumpy and sort of sad albeit in a cozy and lovable way. Endearingly ill-fitting for the most part. A variety of colors are involved ranging from rust to tawny to grey to olive. The family is too kind to say anything to her. They mostly just sport the lumpy scarves she knits instead out of politeness.

No one wears the sweaters. Except Azriel.

Cassian and Rhys balk when they initially see him in one. It’s the first time he’s worn anything aside from black in 500 hundred years.

Azriel literally says nothing about it and just reviews murder reports in Elain’s lumpy sweaters. He begins to do so daily. Just to drive the point home. Just to see her eyes light up a room.

Elain is so elated that Azriel seemingly enjoys her knitware that she knits him a lopsided brown little woolie hat for the days when it’s crisp and cold and he is mulling through paperwork outside while she’s tending the autumn garden.

He’s so dead inside and in love with her that he absolutely wears the sad lumpy woolie hat on the cold days.

His brothers laugh halfway to Adriata everytime they catch sight of this. Azriel waves them off and pays them no mind. Though his ears turn pink now and again because he is, after all, a five century old Illyrian warrior with a hell-black heart covered in lumpy knitware but Elain is beaming and no one could pay him enough gold marks to give a flying shit about his dignity.

Azriel’s pink ears are not lost on Elain, however. She assumes it is because he is still not warm enough. She devises a plan for wooly earmuffs in the coming weeks.

You know, I came across this post a couple days ago and I mostly agreed at the time, but after thinking about it a bit more, I'm skeptical.

I think you're giving the author too much credit here. The house elves are a deeply weird plot device that the series treats far too casually. We are shown that they are fully sentient creatures who are magically enslaved to their 'masters' from birth to death. They are so objectified that Walburga Black, a member of elite magical society, felt comfortable decapitating her elderly elves and displaying their taxidermied heads prominently in her home where presumably a lot of people would be in and out. Perhaps this a reference to american slave owners making wallets and lampshades from the skin of their slaves???

Regardless, presenting something bad without making it clear that it is a bad thing is reckless. Media literacy is hard for a lot of people, and some of the best people you know just have terrible opinions. Not condemning bad opinions/behavior, especially when held by characters the story has framed as good, amounts treating their behavior/opinions as normal and perhaps acceptable. This is especially relevant considering where jk rowling's politics have ended up.

At the very least, the text could have made Harry deeply uncomfortable with accepting things made with house elf labor, or had him verbally tell the adults in his life that they're wrong to dismiss Hermione and the house elves situation at large.

I also completely disagree with this characterization of Hermione's activism. What could the elves possibly say to justify their own subjugation? They have literally known no other life, and were completely unwilling to engage with Hermione when she tried to discuss it with them. It is not paternalistic to say that slavery is bad and that everyone deserves to have agency in their life. If Hermione is a white savior, it is because jk rowling did not set up an elf to fight for the rights of their kind to be free. Making Hermione a house elf advocate in the Ministry wouldn't change that.

Let us be clear though, slavery is objectively immoral and has no cultural value whatsoever. Trying to argue that it is in the elves nature to serve is bioessentialist bullshit -which jk rowling is admittedly fond of- and ignores the intense socialization of the elves to this life as well as the massive difference in power between the main characters who believe this and the house elves they benefit from.

If Hermione's silly attempt at freeing elves with the knitware prevented even one elf from being born into bondage, it would have been a net good.

Considering house elves are bound by a magical enchantement, freeing them wouldn't even necessarily have to upend their lives. House elves wouldn't have to accept wages if they didn't want to. They could still willingly serve in households or at hogwarts, but they could not be beaten or compelled to act against their will. They could leave if they wanted to.

The fact that the lesson Hermione learns is that change is only possible through cooperation with the system is kind of a tragedy. The system owns the elves. Why would the powerful change anything with regards to their rights over their slaves?

Frankly, after the war everyone just fought, the system should be dead. Disband the wizengamot and set up democratic elections. Start from the ground up, and cement comprehensive protections/freedoms for all magical beings into the fabric of the new government. Its not enough to make Kingsley minister and have Potter/Weasley run the aurors. The system itself is the problem and they've been handed a golden opportunity to scrap it altogether and build a new one.

Also, maybe stop hiding the existence of magic from muggles. Yes, I know that is an international agreement but it's fucked up.

what do you make of house elves being better off left slaves because they wanted to be? it made me feel weird that there was a species MEANT to be slaves.

but that’s not canon at all.

a lot of people believed this throughout the series, including sympathetic and wise characters like Hagrid, but they were wrong. Rowling lets good people be wrong and doesn’t chastise them in the text for it. She doesn’t bother spoon feeding readers social justice, but the message that “even good people can condone awful things” is one of the strongest themes of the story. the house elf situation is a perfect example of why you can’t just read the surface text of Harry Potter and assume the author is speaking through the characters when they say slaves love being slaves and change the subject.

like, look at hermione’s SJW phase. the surface read on that? she tried to fix something that wasn’t broken, and she failed hilariously and gave up because nobody cared, even the elves.

except no. she was right about house elves. ideologically, she was seeing something Wizard culture was blind to, and she was 100% right.

but in her SJW phase, she wanted to fix this enormous and culturally accepted horror by trying to force the house elves to make choices that conformed to her notion of what was best for them.

she tried to free elves without their consent, she lectured them about their situation from her position of almost total ignorance, she ignored their wishes at every turn, and she tried to control their liberation and make it be on her terms, and it didn’t work. time and again, no one listened. humans didn’t really mind having slaves, it turns out, and because the house elves she met had never known anything but a world where their lot is servitude, why should they give a fuck about a 14 year old human child’s notion of social justice? she expected the world to change on the strength of her moral outrage, and she failed utterly

this storyline was not meant to impart the message that Hermione was wrong all along. it was meant to represent the vast chasm between meaning well and doing well. even very clever, kind people fuck up a whole lot, and there’s no one cleverer or more kind than Hermione Granger to demonstrate this point.

of course the house elves don’t want to be freed! they’d been abused, degraded and indoctrinated to see “freedom” as a threat. being good at servitude is the only value they’ve ever been permitted to hold since birth! a choice between this familiar, unhappy servitude and the shame of being cast out into the world with no skills, no friends, and no support system is not a choice most people could ever make.

Hermione was instructing victims to stop being victimized on her say-so, and she was offended when they didn’t jump at the chance to throw out what little safety they could count on in life in favor of a freedom that was basically meaningless to them.

She didn’t learn some shitty moral lesson about how house elves are better off as slaves. she learned that paternalism and a massive savior complex are terrible reasons to start a movement. she learned that putting the burden of changing systematic injustice on the oppressed and superimposing your own cultural beliefs on them with no regard for their own feelings is insulting and degrading. 

she learned that absolutely everyone will tell you to fuck off if you pull condescending SJW shit on them, even if it’s in their best interests to do what you want them to do.

and Hermione took this lesson with her when she finished school. she became a House Elf advocate within the Ministry. She used her influence and power to enter the system and stop the fuckery from the human side instead of telling slaves to stop being so slavey and being annoyed when they stayed oppressed.

you think a genius like Hermione Granger couldn’t figure out with a little bit of experience that systemic change has to come from within the ranks of the powerful? man, not even.
