Oh wow, prepare for me to get really triggered.
It’s horrible. I mean, it does add some interest, I won’t lie. But she’s obviously the worst person Dumbledore could have picked for this job. (At the time. He had worst choices in the future.)
Rakepick shouldn’t be allowed near children. Can any of you adults do something, please?! Or at least contact your equivalent of CPS?
I just wanted to include this, because I love to think of these two as friends. If you leave out the drama that my headcanon brought to these two over Luna, they’re actually perfect as friends.
And Barnaby deserves to be around good Slytherins... way better than Merula and Ismelda, that’s for sure.
Also, I doubt she knows anything.
She’s useless, remember? To you and to your enemies.
Thanks for the concern that I’m sure will last not more than a second, because no one has any attention span in this game.
Who could have guessed Ben is innocent?
But, you know, it’s a game for kids, so probably not.
I agree, so let’s keep it that way, shall we?
You stay alive and I don’t need to deal with your shit.
I know she’s just being mean, but she kinda has a point.
Oh? You mean, all those times where you attacked and mocked MC for no good reason and also bullied half of the students in your year?
“Aren’t off to the best start” - like you calling Ben a mudblood?
Like saying MC’s brother is dead?
Like trying to duel MC all the time?
Like spying on MC like a creep?
I think what MC is trying to say it:
Sure, JC... Keep telling us this as much as you want, but it still wouldn’t make any sense.
HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NO!
(Also, the smart option is to say that you trust Rakepick? Clearly, this game wasn’t made by the sharpest minds.)
Who would have thought that acting like a complete monster has real consequences?
If only this game was made by people that are able to write a proper redemption arc.
So you chose the message of their whole dynamic to be that Merula’s abusive behavior is the reason why MC is now stronger?
Way to encourage toxic relationships!
If someone is treating you like crap, attacking you and your friends, being racist by using derogatory language and just being a horrible person for no good reason - you should thank them for making you a stronger person.
Let us all celebrate the bullies.
Such a noble message, JC. What the fuck is wrong with you?
Let’s ignore the fact that Merula’s toxic behavior is probably rooted in years of abuse and twisted education, and instead of helping her become a better person and free her from the negative environment that taught her that the only way to get anywhere in life is being the worst person she’s able to be; let’s just excuse her behavior by saying she’s making MC a better and stronger person.
Yes. Because we need more of this crap.
This is exactly why some people hate Merula. Not because she’s flawed, but because JC glorify her negative traits and lazily throwing her into the plot with stupid excuses, instead of a true character development.
You’re not doing any favors to her character, you’re just making her way less likeable and alienating the people that would actually like to forgive her at some point.
Screw you, JC. Your writing is bad and you should feel bad.
(Jeez, I got super triggered for a second. Sorry for that, but I’m going to keep it in the post, because I feel like it should be said.)
