Someone who has never heard of fanfic and just had their mind blown.

let’s continue with the HP theme One of the most underexplored aspects of Harry Potter’s worldbuilding is the color of Lucius Malfoy’s hair.

I’ve genuinely never seen anything as cringe as ‘Malfoid’. it’s basically just riding the coattails of the much better Petra Parker trend except with incel language

not that it makes any real difference but I have been seeing “Galfoy”. Knowing that “foid” has increased in usage is a bummer tho

more in the comments I already disliked the original (Harry Potter) for its lack of rationality as a child (how can they have magic and poverty at the same time?) so I loved the flip. OK so does HPMOR solve poverty? (Q is rhetorical don’t answer) If you didn’t like HP check out Grossman’s The Magicians. A lot of graduating magicians there join non-profits or hedge funds.
