I really don't think their arc needs mutual forgiveness to work. To me, it's far more powerful and narratively satisfying that Harry redeems his true love from the darkness and she joins him in defeating Voldemort, finally coming into the light once and for all. Making Harry into an "equal" bad guy in their relationship doesn't make sense story or character-wise.

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

Maybe so, but I still prefer the story with Harry as Malfoid's redeemer from the darkness rather than someone who needs her forgiveness for almost killing her.

If you remove the Sectumsempra scene, you don't get this.

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

From just a practical standpoint, it's an extremely powerful spell that requires a lot of effort and the right emotional state, which is difficult to pull off in a high-speed, high-stakes duel.

[Harry Potter Lore @Harrypotterlor]

If protective spells can’t block Avada Kedavra, why don’t Death Eaters use it in every duel instead of wasting time with spells like Stupefy?
What’s stopping them from winning almost every fight?

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

@NeilCell You can just tell all the new stuff for those franchines was made via committee to appeal to a specific political demographic. No interest in telling a good story or in creating something new with old ideas, just endless CGI reboots pushing tHe MeSsAgE.

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

It's terrible, I just pretend it doesn't even exist, and for my posts it doesn't.

Is Cursed Child worth reading or best left alone?

Some fans treat it as non-canon despite Rowling saying otherwise. I’ve read a ChatGPT summary, but I’d love your two cents!

I skipped it back then because I was into light novels and wasn’t interested in Harry’s kids.

Interesting timing, considering the US's dire need for nuclear power and the revamping of its nuclear industry.

[Hunterbrook @hntrbrkmedia]

Breaking: the FAA has shut down airspace over the Department of Energy’s Savannah River Site, with a notice calling it a “US Government Nuclear Incident.”

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

Why isn't what they've experienced together over the previous seven years sufficient to bind them together? Why isn't him saving her life multiple times and them defeating Voldemort together enough? Does a break-up really sound realistic after all that? Does a relationship really require almost killing someone?

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

@LordAratonar They can't bear that men and women have different purposes, and that a man is ordered towards his "mission" and a woman is ordered towards helping a man fulfill it. This orientation is phrased in Scripture as "the man and his wife". We used to understand this as a civilization.

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

The "chosen one" is always, by definition, some guy that is chosen by an outside power for a special task. That's how Providence works. If human effort was enough there wouldn't even need to be a Chosen One.

the trinity syndrome: a film trope where a female character spends her life mastering her skills, is portrayed as exceptionally capable, only for “the chosen one” to be some guy

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

Augustine's argument is like an ex-alcoholic who believes all drinking is sinful. He simply couldn't separate his prior moral failings from the legitimately good purposes of sex, and so he deemed the whole exercise to be evil. But the Holy Spirit in Song of Songs goes to great lengths to show that purely romantic lovemaking between a husband and wife is indeed a good thing.

[Matey @MateyYanakiev]

Reminder that St. Augustine taught all desire for sexual self-gratification was sinful.

It was only tolerable & excused in marriages ordered towards procreation. And even then, the less passionate desire in the act, the better. (On the Good of Marriage 3)

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

@LordAratonar They hate how the hero winning the hand of the princess is an integral part of story-telling, since it reminds them of the order of creation, which they also hate.

[Vanessie 🤙🏼 microplastic sanctuary @vanasty]

Do the French understand that since the Olympics, Americans openly fantasize about traveling to France to get pickpocketed, so they can beat the brakes off somebody, blackout with their hands firmly around their throat, with a friend filming, so it can be posted later with the Whitney Houston ‘91 Star-Spangled Banner anthem playing over it?

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

The US and China really are the only countries in the world right now that have that "will to greatness" in them.

[Aleph @woke8yearold]

Cannot over emphasize how insanely bearish this is for non-US countries other than China

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

@Libertybibbledy Yeah Harry and Hermione's careers are fine with me, but those are about the only details worth keeping.

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

I laughed really hard at this.

Who would Zoomers or Xers blame for the others' actions if Millennials didn't exist?

[doomer @uncledoomer]

the reason millenial nerds feel a compulsion to shit on the star wars prequels, despite the obvious cinematic brilliance, is they are played entirely earnest. there is no jim from the office winking at the camera, which makes them excruciating to the irony poisoned millenial mind

I don't think Canada has the Mandate of Heaven. Maybe the Demerit of Heaven or something.

[Matt Forney @mattforney]

Canadians: "We're joining the EU! Take THAT, Trump!"

EU: "Yeah, take THAT, Trump!"

*EU looks at Canada's complete mess of regulations, interprovincial trade barriers, and business-hostile environment*

EU: "Yeah Canada, uhhhhh, don't call us, we'll call you."

"Don't retaliate, don't do anything, don't confront them, or you will be fired, arrested, and permanently impoverished. That all may happen anyway, but still, we don't like bad optics, too much paperwork. Oh and we definitely won't discipline the people making your life miserable, why would you even ask that? Those are our terms, no negotiating."

[Lee (Greater) @shortmagsmle]

I think what makes these fake Apple Pay scam/prank situations so emotionally volatile is that they combine several nightmare scenarios for the victim into one attack.

For starters, you're getting robbed in public. This is embarrassing, especially for a man.

Second, you're on camera unexpectedly for a large audience. This should be illegal. It's not, but it should be.

Third, you're being played for a fool because you don't really know how the technology of Apple Pay / contactless payments works, and someone is exploiting you over it.

So we end up with a scenario where some random guy--in this case, a middle-aged man stocking the frozen pizzas--is getting robbed, humiliated, and made to look foolish by what is likely a teenage mulatto who's exploiting a type of "I'm not touching you" loophole in the social contract, where the pizza guy would go to jail for a long time if he punched the scammer because ultimately the prankster (a) hasn't stolen anything, and (b) hasn't laid a finger on the victim.

It creates a real 'naked in front of the whole class' simulation where over 7 billion people will have permanent access to an episode of "This is what the pizza guy would look like if someone were robbing him using a technology he's too old to understand. See, look how mad he is over the IDEA of losing $10! Look how stupid he is! They didn't even take any money!"

This is a worst-case scenario for the victim. Most people are not designed for this. Complete public humiliation, absolute demoralization, no rightful recourse in the eyes of the law, no way to take back what has been stolen from you because no money was actually taken; only your dignity and sense of self-worth.

This is what happens to actual Americans in 2026 who still try to live by following the rules, working hard, and sticking to the script. They get publicly humiliated by 90 IQ mystery meat ethnics exploiting them for content to earn shitcoins with which to gamble on prediction websites.

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

@RGuillimanXIII Yeah and even then it was to kill an enemy, and it worked.

[Watcher @immrwatcher]

Meanwhile in canon, Harry has fought back every single time he's been attacked and he's won almost every time. The idea of "don't fight back or youre like the bad guy" would simply never occur to him, and rightfully so because it's stupid.

[Louis Ducs @louis_vuis]

He can beat them, but he won't do that, bc he doesn't want to be like them, and he knows she will come😂
