Has someone tagged you in the snitties post yet?

Nope, but I got it right here! I had to include the snitties post that shit got us on urban dictionary 😭

Hey, Sophia! Think you could convince Kiro to let us get some ramen? 🙏✨️

Sophia> Sadly... We really don't have the money to do so...

We don't have a real way of making money Outside of picking up lost wallets. Or the occasional gift from Devvon.

Any money we do get is used for stuff Kiro cant really get naturally. Stuff like spices. Bread. Soap. Etc.

You'd be surprised by what he can get with just a baseball bat...

Now choose someone to get married to (keep in mind that you can't divorce them)

Well, Severus does seem like the most reasonable choise, because he's my favourite baby boy and I love him, but realistically – we'd be way too dysfunctional together. Taking objective compatibility under consideration, I'd say maybe adult Neville or adult Luna.

But I actually don't want to get married, so at the end of the day, I choose Nicolas Flamel. Apparently, he is on his deathbed by the end of the first book, therefore I'd be free soon!

um just wanted to let u know that an oomf of mine rted ur short thread abt tm4rry and i wholeheartedly agree with everything abt it most especially the hyung/sunbae and ivntill and tom being crazy obsessive bl top, like u r def not alone it it hehe 👉👈 (also i didnt save the post but i saw someone once said that tom is very kr bl manhwa top materials hngjdhdjhf) (honestly i agree)

THANK YOU...THANK YOU IM GLAD TO KNOW PPL AGREE WLJDKDK 🥹😭😭

To give Ivan AlienStage credit tho, I feel like he's more well-adjusted (as.... well-adjusted as someone in his situation can be lmao) than a young '1930s/'40s!Tom Might-Become-Evil Riddle, but they are both absolutely Freaky in their own ways and I enjoy it sm.

HP's Very White culture not having any honorific for their magical school setting is such a shame...... They fit that trope of crazy younger top and upperclassman who wants nothing to do with them. I need time-traveller!Harry to be called "hyung/sunbae"(gēge, -nii, kuya, other lang. alternatives) by a freaky infatuated wolf-in-sheep's-clothing Tom so bad. What if I HC'ed Tom as half-asian, what then, who will stop me..... (canonically speaking, unfortunately I doubt his upbringing would have even allowed half-asian!Tom to be familiar with the other half of his heritage, but maybe one of the nicer more knowledgeable workers at Wool's would share a background...)(delusional)(so delulu)(but also imagine the even MORE MASSIVE complex he'd develop. Arriving in Hogwarts and in Slytherin as only Half-white AND Half-pureblood in the magical cultural society of Britain? So much internalized racism in one desperately ambitious guy.......)

Also there was that whole thing about Nagini being played by a South Korean woman in the Fantastic Beast movies and the whole racial stereotypes/implications it brought with it. (I'm very not knowledgeable about the history between Voldemort and Nagini but in this alternate scenario...) imagine a young wasian Tom Riddle finding solidarity? comfort? kinship? with Nagini, who can only be understood by him (parseltongue/korean). A kindled friendship, Nagini perhaps taking to Tom like he's a lil (potentially evil) hatchling. I'm thinking of a more wholesome relationship (as wholesome as a young TMR can get LMAO,,) but ah..... whenever you think about the HP world with more than a few braincells, the worst it really gets WKDHKKS

(but well. that's the joy of fanworks, right? Reclaiming and reworking the views of the original with more nuance and diversity.... I heard the Marauders side of fandom is doing that especially, and good on them!!)

(ALSO SORRY I got carried away again,,, somehow this always happens LMAO but anyway— "very kr bl manhwa top material" WHOEVER SAID THAT WAS SO RIGHT LMAO)

Zonko’s HP Asks

The second ask series I’m creating for the celebration of 400ish. This one is named after food, and more specifically sweets, in the wizarding world, and is focused on the HP fandom more broadly, so any shippers welcome to join in the ask!

I. Sugar Quills

If you were part of the wizarding world, would you write with a quill or with a Muggle pen and pencil? Scroll or normal paper? What would your favorite character use and why?

II. Chocolate Frogs

If you could collect chocolate frogs, what wizard would you want to see in the back of the packet, and why? Which wizard SHOULD be in the packet? Who would you collect and why? How would your favorite character answer this question?

III. Peppermint Toads

If you were a witch or wizard, what spells for beauty, cosmetics or hygiene would you use every day without fail? What would your favorite character use and why?

IV. Bertie Botts Every Flavour Beans

What would your favorite flavours of Every Flavour Beans be? Flavours that you could deal with but wouldn’t enjoy? Your hated flavours? And how would your favorite character answer this question?

V. Fizzing Whizbees

If you were a witch or wizard, what would be your favorite method of transportation? Floo? Broom? Apparating? Portkey? Thestral? Hippogriff? Beaubaton’s flying chariot? Durmstrang’s ship? How would your favorite character answer this question?

VI. Droobles Best Blowing Gum

If you could have become a Mediwitch or Mediwizard to save the life of one character, who would it be and why, and how would you save them?

I saw in the comment section of Beyond the Veil that Voldemort scene was your work! Have to congratulate you on that scene - so many suggestions of internal politics, politics that Voldemort takes advantage of! Rowle trying to blame Snape, Voldemort still punishing Rowle but questioning Snape as well, Draco and the Malfoys being humiliated. As ashesandhackles said in comments precisely - you replicated the vibe of Dark Lord Ascending chapter! Great stuff and thank you for sharing.

Thanks so much! Haha, there were moments where I thought his pov might have come across as being too Disney villain-ish, but then Voldemort is pretty much your standard Disney villain, so I just played into it. It was an interesting scene to write because Voldemort is such an obviously evil villain but it ended up becoming fun because of that. He could say all of these awful and disgusting things without me overthinking it. So glad you enjoyed it! ^_^

2 and 11 for the salt!

2. Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?

Snily and Wolfstar and maybe Harmione (although I get the premise of these, these characters just don’t personally mesh well for me in a romantic ship).

11. Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

Ok so, I used to heavily dislike Snape lol, but thanks to my friends @ashesandhackles @thedreamermusing (yes you 😆) @urupotter and the very … insightful 😂 … discussions we’ve had, I’ve come around. I feel like I had a very surface level view and understanding of his character. I now appreciate Snape and his arc for all that it is. I appreciate the integral part of the story that he is. I’ve leaned a lot further into his friendship with Lily, the dynamic of this friendship completely fascinates me, particularly during their childhood and early years at Hogwarts. The parallels between Snape and Sirius are also fascinating to me, there’re so many and there’s so much to flesh out there, and beyond that, when you look at Snape’s rivalry with James and dig deeper into the class connotations surrounding it, when you really analyse the dynamic behind all of these pre-canon relationships and the circumstances surrounding them, you get a much deeper appreciation for his character and everything that we see unfold in canon. All round it’s been a journey of understanding that his flaws only make him more compelling and that you don’t have to be an apologist of his flaws to appreciate him as a character.
