if i just told you i love you would this world change

the good news: I'm still here hi

the bad news: all I have to offer is this fucking sofa meme again

What do you think as Hermione's career would be post battle of Hogwarts? To me her being minister for magic really doesn't make sense. She does not have patience or tact to wade through murky waters of politics 😭😭

So hard to say! The Trio are so, so young when we leave them, I find it almost impossible to project their futures farther than a few years out. The job that suited me at 17 would be radically unsuited to me now. That's why of all the Trio, Ron's ending strikes me as the most realistic — he jumps straight into the save-the-world business again, burns out, realizes he's actually Done The Fuck Enough, Thanks, and pivots into a low-stress career where he gets to see his family a lot. Feels accurate! The others are weirder to me because they do seem to just... pick a lane and stay there.

With Hermione, you could spin her a couple ways. You could say that she leans into her bookish side and does research or teaching, which is not my preference for a couple reasons (namely, I don't think Hermione would like academia as a profession; she finds her classwork interesting and enjoys intellectual validation, but she'd be stifled and wasted in a DPhil program, and she'd be infuriated by the administrative politicking of your average higher-ed faculty). You could say that she gets disaffected with politics and ends up as a barrister or a lobbyist of some kind, but if anything that requires more political finesse, because you don't actually have institutional power, you're just handling the people who make decisions and trying to persuade them of your goals. This is not Hermione's preferred method of influence. She's not even particularly good at persuasion, she just happens to be smart enough (and right often enough) that people take her ideas seriously.

Or you could say her brashness fades with the years into a softened flavor of tell-you-like-it-is honesty, which some politicians actually do successfully trade on; as we see in British politics today, you don't have to be all that charming or clever to get ahead, you just need to be really driven and well-connected (which Hermione completely is; she fought shoulder-to-shoulder with the first postwar Minister and her bestie, the Literal Messiah, runs the Auror Office.) But I don't know if Hermione especially wants to be Minister, after the war. She's just watched years of horrendous bureaucratic incompetence plunge the country into a violent civil conflict. She's had not one, but two Ministers of Magic try to bully or shame her friends into complicity with fascism. Her view of government is... likely extremely dark.

But Hermione also isn't the kind of person who sees her life as a quest for happiness. Babygirl has a savior complex that makes Harry look selfish. (She basically kills her parents — yeah, obliviating is a form of murder, #changemymind — "for their own good," and justifies every batshit, vindictive, mean-spirited move she ever pulls on the grounds that it "helps" one of her friends.) She is a mean, lean, dragon-slaying machine, and she needs a dragon. After Voldemort, the Ministry is the no. 1 threat to muggle-borns and non-wizarding Beings. As a war heroine with basically infinite political capital, I'd be surprised if she didn't try to do something there. That said, Hermione is so vivacious and dynamic that she could potentially grow in a hundred different directions; it's possible that all of this, while true of her at 18, becomes completely inaccurate by 22. That's why I'm not too fussed about any particular fanon interpretation.

Not to discoursepost on main but its bothering me so bad i have to say it. Why do people think it's their business if a trans man is dating a lesbian. If a trans person doesn't have dysphoria. If a system isn't traumagenic. It literally doesn't matter at all and it will never matter because it is no one's place to decide what is "valid" or not. Remember when everyone hated neopronouns and xenogenders in like 2019? No one cares anymore. Stop brainrotting about things that you hate just because you don't understand someone's personal experience and start finding things that give you joy. Cultivate your own experience. Spend time with the people you love. Become someone you love and love being. You are in an endlessly expanding void full of stars and and galaxies and beautiful things beyond human comprehension and things you can only dream of. Stop caring about internet discourse you won't remember in 5 years

Hello, I am here to request a bird assigned to Ivorycello, please. This blog is an absolute joy :}

roseate tern (Sterna dougallii)

anyway if you're having some uncomfy feelings about posting unsourced art/photos in the past because of that post i made about how to identify stolen images, maybe hunting through my blog for any possible whisper of hypocrisy is not the most productive place to direct that energy. i'm not here to shame anyone, just to provide information on how to make this website a little friendlier to artists by discouraging sourceless uploads. lack of engagement on unsourced posts will cause most uploaders to change their behavior for the better.
