Good. Fuck off.
I also don’t think they’re a drag alt. But they could be a DroneRights alt. It’s pretty obvious that .world users think drag is DroneRights because they’re both xenogender, and .world users think that’s trolling. But I’d take the DragonTypeWyvern accusations more seriously because they use the same pronouns and Drone has been around longer than Wyvern.
A magic cloak that can hide from Death can probably hide from Accio, too.
Magic is that hard, but being a genius doesn’t make you good at it. Rote memorisation makes you good at it. Hermione isn’t a genius, she enjoys rote learning. Harry and Ron crave stimulation, and there’s none to be found in Rowling’s magic system. Rowling might have intended magic to be easy, but she made a mistake. Rowling enjoys rote memorisation, so it’s easy for her and her self insert, but not for normal people who want to be intellectually stimulated. Rowling accidentally made magic hard, and the story makes more sense with her mistake in it.
Harry Potter’s magic system isn’t simple.
Rincewind isn’t useless at most things, he’s only useless at magic.
Esk is actually able to use magic to solve problems, because she’s a precocious child and also female.
Well, the needs of a fiction reader and the needs of a character in the world are different. Harry actually needed to learn magic. And there’s no logic to it, so all he could do was rote memorisation. He would have been happier with a magic system that makes sense.
Hermione is supposed to be a genius nerd, and yet she does far less in 7 books to actually study her magic system, than Vin has done by the start of the second book. Vin isn’t a nerd or a genius, she’s just a capable hero living in a world where magic makes sense, so she’s better at studying than Hermione. Hermione gets 8 hours to do it a day for 6 years and still can’t compete with Vin.
Yeah, book 3 is the one where Rowling made an effort to delve into the workings of the magic system. The Patronus is the only spell we actually learn how to cast. (No, levio-sah doesn’t count). The time turner has limitations which allow Rowling to tell an interesting story with it.
Rowling made magic interesting for one book, and Harry became interested in magic.
Then she changed her mind.
Does that mean I actually only need one tablet a week or a month? My doctor said I should have one every day.
Eat the rich!
Great idea. Violence is awesome
You do realise you’re literally advocating for people to do violence, right?
Degree of minorities murdered matters.
Many parts of society encourage men to complain about their wives, and many parts mock men for being unappealing for women. Either way, it’s funny.
Many parts of society look down on women for complaining, and many parts discourage mocking a woman for being unappealing to men. Either way, it’s uncomfortable.

It can also be taken with offence by someone who’s bi or ace and feels unseen.
We should improve the electoral system.
Yet you voted for Kamala! Curious!
Killing people is great. Whether they’re Nazis, Vatniks, or Harkonens, killing invaders is awesome.
