While this search doesn’t show it, M/M and multi-M pairings make what I would say is the majority of pairings on this site lol.

And to be fair, Europe thrived a lot more after the plague, since massive labour shortages meant the value of labour shot up dramatically, improving the quality of life and culminating in the Renaissance.

I shan’t claim this person to be reasonable, but u believe this is what he’ their referring to:

This wasn’t correct even before then lol.

Royalty would marry for diplomacy, whether externally to other royalty, or internally with powerful nobility.

Humans definitely lean towards the latter than the former

Ah, but the question is, is this a moral universe? Or an apathetic universe?

Mangione II?

I don’t think it’s a waste - we know he can bring things with him when uses the Speed Force (his clothes), so being able to travel without needing to run and use up stamina isn’t the worst decision.

Pretty much the only true ones are the ones about large webbing or orange/yellow field spots, because they indicate a watermelon that’s left to ripen for longer, but between natural variability and improved farming techniques, there’s no certainty.

When life gives you lemons, make orange juice and then kneecap life while it’s distracted trying to figure out how the hell you did it

Excuse me, it’s called a dot hog.

Dieticians recommend drinking as much water as you think your body needs (if you feel thirsty, drink water) - people in environments with less sweating will need less water than those in environments with high sweating, not to mention dietary sources of water.

💖💖💖💖💖ad infinitum- my love of girl bulge is vast, but my hatred of capitalism and imperialism, and more so capitalist imperialism, is infinite.

But the inverse also applies - there’s not much stopping wizards from portkeying/apparating into the Oval Office or the pentagon and magibombing them, or Avada-ing key targets. Wizards are probably the worst kind of guerrilla fighters - ones unchecked by range. And as far as food is concerned, food multiplication is a thing. I personally believe that in the long term, the way muggles would win would be through subverting wizards, not by pure overwhelming force.

But they were able to setup the core of their commercial and governance infrastructure in the middle of London, with no particular notice from muggles - not to mention, we know that the government already knows about wizards (MoM liaises with the PM). So there must be a quid pro quo already in place, with the government tolerating and aiding in the existence of a semi-independent polity in their heartlands in return for unspecified benefits, probably defence against foreign wizards.

True enough, the capabilities of Magic haven’t been explored enough canonically to disprove that - but if the government learned of Magic, the first thing they’d do is subvert some wizards to their side, who might be able to counteract them - in many ways, it’s a battle of statecraft as it is of actual power.

I personally think it depends on exactly what the limits of Magic are - it could be anything from Muggles eradicating Wizards, to the opposite, all very plausibly. To me, it comes down to the power of modern surveillance vs. the power of notice-me-not + space-expansion + anti-detection spells. Plus there’s a whole bunch of other powerful spells and devices (time turners, for example), but the muggles have a while fuckton of gold and other valuables to recruit these capabilities to their side as well.

“Ah, my dear child, you’ve learned well from my actions!”

Well, there are plenty of dictators that have a few spare billions laying around, and wouldn’t mind helping out their ol’ buddy Trump with his money problems, you know?
