Hello, I read a lot of your Dumbledore metas (Though on reddit and not here). And I wanted to ask, why do you think Dumbledore didn't kidnap Draco? (I think the Doylist answer is that it was for the plot to work, or the author didn't think about it. But I am looking for Watsonian reasons.) It would be the best way to stop Draco from harming/killing the other students, removes him from the danger of Voldemort, and it frees up an unknown and random variable so that he could better plan his death with Snape. So it wins in both the morality aspect and in the practical aspect IMO, yet that option isn't brought up by anyone.

Hello!

Unfortunately, the only possible answer to this is Doylist - because Dumbledore as a character is impossible to read without that framework.

The answer is Harry Potter as a novel is a YA novel with mythical ideas of good and evil - good guys don't kidnap children. It's not a novel on war general vs war general, and how best to solve trolley problems. We never get insight into how Order of Phoenix is actually being run, or how that is viewed by the Ministry - these are ideas people are exploring in fanfiction.

Hello. First of all, I recently got into the fruit basket fandom and found your interpretation about shigure and others very lovely. Your observations regarding the art panels and their meaning were very interesting too. I'm very thankful that you had shared your thoughts.

Secondly, I had a question: if Hatori's curse had broken first instead Kureno's, would akito have tried to form a sexual relationship with him too? And if so, what do you think Hatori's response would be? Will he indulge her or try to distance himself? Given his closeness with Shigure, Hatori would probably let Shigure know. That said, would Hatori still resign himself to the curse?

Anyway, my question is about a hypothetical scenario and feel free to ignore if you don't prefer to answer. Sorry if there's any grammatical mistakes.

Hello!

Apologies for getting back to this late - I have had quite a year :) so was off fandom spaces.

To answer your question - I don't think Akito would feel the need to hold on to Hatori in that respect - he is the family doctor, and therefore embedded in the Sohma family in ways that is far more difficult to escape than Kureno. Hatori is a person that gravitates towards structures and authority, and therefore is resigned to how the Sohma family functions and Akito as the head - so I doubt Hatori would be making a choice that is radically different from what he is making within the confines of the curse. He still is the family doctor post curse in the manga, he is just afforded more freedoms and flexibility than he used to before.

Also, please don't apologise for grammatical mistakes! I make grammar mistakes all the time :D
