the one that wants to help people search and filter better by demonstrating how I just realized that the way I was searching was stopping me from finding what I wanted

and the one that does not want to air out my particular interests on a platform of any size 😆

So I was searching for "Jane Foster size queen" at first. But then I realized that putting both the character and the descriptor in the same tag wouldn't work.

In order for that to exist as a single tag, it would need to be a popular enough idea in the MCU fandom for at least three different authors to have used it. And with a fandom the size of the MCU, it's probably closer to 5 or 10.

So then I tried using the search form to find the character Jane Foster along with the additional tag size queen. But that returned zero results, and I realized that size queen isn't a canonical tag, so I was asking AO3 to find Jane Foster fics with the tag "size queen" instead of the concept.

So then I went to the tag search and looked up size queen and checked off the wrangling status as "canonical or synonymous" and that gave me 627 synonyms for the concept I was looking for and the first four results included a character name, but the fifth one was just "also he's a size queen" so I clicked on that and I found out that the canonical tag I could use to find fics with that concept was size kink

so I went back to the search form and looked up character Jane Foster and additional tag size kink and I got 39 results.

Here y'all reckless Hadrian trying to give his pops a heart attack smh 🤭

(Also sorry that it's incomplete, honestly it wasn't turning out how I wanted it so I'm not gonna focus too hard on it. 🫠 I want my drawing to be stress free lol) #lazybones

Don't forget.

I finally finished this, I redrew it so many times I almost cried

let's start with Wendelin the Weird.

it's essentially a fragment of the lore, a passage taken straight from a history textbook. on the one hand, yes, it's a direct piece of world-building.

on the other hand, what do we actually see? from the Muggles' point of view, it looked as though they were executing the guilty. but the point is that if it really was a witch, she wouldn't burn. the people who actually suffered were those who had no magical abilities at all.

so right from the beginning we get this theme of innocent people being punished, while those who are actually responsible walk away unscathed.

and, at the same time, the idea that reality is nothing like what it seems at first glance.

then there's Aunt Marge.

Aunt Marge breeds bulldogs. she breeds dogs. she raises these beasts that are openly hostile towards Harry, that pose a danger to him, that Harry is afraid of because she used to set them on him... just because she could.

much later, in Order of the Phoenix, Severus even asks about one of those dogs, but that's beside the point.

what's much more interesting is the way she talks about breeding. she argues that bad traits are inherited. that if the bitch is bad, then her litter will be just the same.

doesn't that remind you of another dog?

one who comes from a family with, let's say, highly questionable beliefs, values and preferences. one whose guilt everyone accepted because it wasn't difficult to believe.

after all, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

in the end, it's hard to say how much of Sirius's story was nature versus nurture, based on everything we know about him. and yet.

naturally, she also brings Harry's parents back into the narrative, something that didn't really happen in Chamber of Secrets. and, in effect, all of this ties into Harry's eventual reunion with his parents' friends.

and then there's the fact that this is the first and only time Harry runs away from home.

at roughly the same time, though a little earlier, someone else escapes from his own prison. someone who had also run away from home during his school years. and it is in this very book that the two of them are reunited.

after running away, Harry thinks that, at this point, it doesn't really matter anymore. he's already broken the law, he's almost certainly become a criminal, and now he'll have to stay on the run, live like a homeless person, and never return to Hogwarts.
