hellochat

since theres been a little influx of interaction on my posts, I thought I’d give an update! I know I’ve been dead lately, and thats mainly due to diminishing motivation. However! if theres a big push for me to continue the divergent species series, I will absolutely get back into it.

I’m a college student now which is great because the way my schedule is set up has allowed me ample time to consider opening commissions, so if that’s something anyone would want to see lmk!

Letting your business partner pretend you're abusing him so you can con the living daylights out of foreign diplomats that you kept waiting for nearly three hours is crazy. And to rub it in by planning a skit where you bring him iced coffee and he complains about it? Iconic showstopping never seen before this is EVEN BETTER than the little show they put on for Taewon which was one of my favorite jinjae moments truly I feel like I just received a surprise custom-made cake after ordering a custom-made cupcake

-Draco Malfoy, Sept 1, 1991-

Here's my newest hot take: it makes no sense for the Weasleys to be poor.

Like, I get why, narratively, the Weasleys are poor : poor=virtuous in jkr's mind and the Weasleys represent the perfect family so they need the be the bestest most virtuous of them all, especially since they are set up to be in direct contrast to the rich, morally bankrupt Malfoys.

That is all well and good, I understand the use of poverty as a narrative choice, but at the same time I also have a problem with how jkr chose to depict said poverty in her worldbuilding; even as a single income household with too many kids (as per D Malfoy), it makes no sense for the Weasleys to have no money.

Arthur, the sole earner in the family, is portrayed as a government insider: he heads his own department, seems essential to the working of the ministry and is overall well connected.

(from GoF, this is a bureucratic brag if i've ever seen one)

Arthur appears to be on a first name basis with a huge variety of ministry employees

Some of which are his fellow department heads

which definitely puts him on the same level as a Diggory or a Crouch, and none of these people are implied to be poor or even remotely struggling, so why is he?

Arthur is not only well connected but also far more powerful than one might expect from his job title alone:

He is somehow able to write and/or enact laws (something he shouldn't be able to do since he's neither an elected official nor part of a legislative body)

and

(from CoS)

Arthur has the power to restrict trade (again, something way above his paygrade)

(from GoF, Arthur's power is apparently equal to that of Crouch, the wizard equivalent of a foreign minister)

Arthur can easily get huge favors form fellow ministry personnel

(from Gof, those world cup seats are Malfoy and Fudge level and it doesn't seem like Arthur did anything special to get them)

We can also see how incongruously important Arthur Weasley is to the inner workings of the ministry by his responsibilities:

when things go tits up at the world cup, Arthur behaves very much like someone much higher up the chain of command.

(from GoF)

All of this is over a newspaper article that didn't even quote him by name. What can the biting teacup guy do during a pr crisis, exactly?

Arthur's (civilian) presence is for some reason necessary during night raids, even though he is not a law enforcement agent

(from CoS)

Arthur (a civilian) is somehow the only person who can calm Alastor Moody (an accomplished auror) down

(from GoF)

I find myself to be very confused by the picture painted by these excerpts. jkr clearly wanted to have it both ways: she needed Arthur to be a ministry insider so that he'd be able to funnel all sorts of information to Harry (and into the story) but she also wanted the Weasleys to be underdogs or, as Harry calls them,

but the two things just don't mix because Arthur, as described in the books, does not read like an underdog, he reads like a vital part of the system.

tl;dr: Arthur is a Big Deal and his family shouldn't be poor, even if they do have too many children

If we do not learn from our history we are doomed to repeat it

[lesbianwyllravengard]

one of my professors decided to require us to use ai so I decided to educate her instead. I'll update if I lose points on the assignment but I couldn't fucking care less

also, if you don't fully know why ChatGPT/ai is so harmful to the environment, read through the sources I cited for more info: 1, 2, 3. Especially the paper.
