I just realized. This is him realizing his goals from his first life. He was going to go to college to become a teacher and here he is, actively teaching and becoming better at teaching.

Just saying, I’m all for magically assisted melee fights. Especially in a Harry Potter setting. These prep school posterboys haven’t struggled a day in their lives. If you punch one in the mouth, they won’t know what to do with themselves

My thought is that a portkey should have an activator to use it. Not exactly an item, but a phrase, paired with a gesture. Just “touch that tire at 12:05pm on Wednesday and you’ll go to here” doesn’t make sense. It’s too easy for issues to happen. Like a mailbox in an industrial area meant to go to someplace, you have to open the mailbox like you are putting a letter in and saying “Ianuae” to use the portkey. That makes sense. It’s coded and you can verify that nobody is watching you

This is actually a very common recruiting tactic. Trying to hire a bunch of people, bring in double the people you want to hire. Give the goal, let those who aren’t interested leave and the people who stay are more likely to be loyal to the person who, from their perspective, is giving a chance to the people who stuck around and took a chance even though they aren’t really.

Here’s the thing. Goblins only respect businessmen. People who are able to wheel and deal with the big shots and take them for everything they are worth. They also have a code of honour. If you can prove you have the business in your blood, they will deal with you fairly. They only cheat people who are too stupid to know better. So with Aedan cutting them in on his deals, making them money, he shows he is both business savvy and respect them enough to cut them in.

Good god, if I had a charm that let me stick to objects or other objects get stuck together, my team would have been nightmares. That’s a thought.

Only if you treat them wrong. If you purchase a goblin made product in the manner a goblin would, it’s yours. It’s a very odd way of doing business to a human, but goblin society is nuanced in ways we will never understand.

I hate that people don’t enjoy this stuff. It’s got nothing to do with Harry Potter and everything to do with the oldest stories of the Fae and Goblins. Politeness is key. So is the truth. Using indirect speech is how you interact with them and the greeting and farewell are important during all interactions to signal the start and end of those interactions.

Nah man. It’s a Goblin society thing. You never assume in a business deal. A deal is never about the outcome. It’s about the haggle. Even if the outcome is a forgone conclusion , the haggle is still important.

“My NaMe’S dUmBleDoOkIe, aNd I’m A bIg BoY” That’s what I get out of that title nonsense

Purist actually works in this context. Classist is based on social class, regardless of bloodline, while a purist is focused strictly on the purity of a matter. So pure blood being the focus of the bias would be included

It’s an old English spelling. It produces an ee sound like in the word eerie. So pronounced, it would sound like Ee-den. Kinda weird but that’s par for the course in the UK. Don’t get me started on Scottish names. Siobhan is an absurd spelling.

Entropy

So they are 5th dimensional beings? As in the are embodiments of concepts and relationships or emotions and thing like that. All fractals and no substance.

Ah. I see. She’s the kinky neighbor who somehow gets into the bedroom with the wife and the husband doesn’t kick her out the bed when he sees the shenanigans they are up to.

Switch it to a constantly rotating 2 hours and it won’t be an issue. Two hours is short enough that folks aren’t exhausted but not so long that they begin to lose focus. If they are there in a group of four, you’re set. One can nap for 30minutes and that rotates too.

Invoking strong feelings in underlings. They are being used as his underlings rights now, even if they don’t know it.
