Back when I first joined the fandom and it was even smaller I was desperate enough for Jäger fic to browse people RPing them. There was actually one game that took place at Hogwarts and, while it was adapted for the world – the Jägers were a family who interbred with a lot of officially “beast” people, so they had various heritages and some werewolves – it did have Jägers attending Hogwarts.
(There was one incident where Maxim was haunted by a “ghost lizard of guilt” – a ghostly chameleon intent on making him feel bad, which hardly anyone else believed in.)
(This must also have been before I was into Homestuck because Maxim was friends with Gamzee and I had no idea who that was.)
He’s really, really defined by Justice as his natural inclination, I think, and not necessarily in a good way.
Klaus does not actually avoid manipulation in governing – for one thing he cribbed half his policies off Valois because he has a lot of respect for what has been shown to work – but a lot of the time when he does what feels right to him he gives people what he thinks they deserve. When he says “no second chances” he doesn’t live up to that – but a lot of the people he gives second chances are the ones he might reasonably see as not having had a first chance. The soldiers who signed on for a way to make a living, the constructs made to serve his enemies.
He killed more readily than the Heterodyne Boys when travelling with them because he believed “some things had to be cleansed by fire” (he and Lucrezia teamed up to burn to death a Spark who had been doing really bad things to their subjects). He gives Merlot power as a punishment. He seems to refuse to use “gentle” tactics on the Fifty Families becuase he sees them as not deserving them. Elsewhere he does use propoganda and has a hell of a knack among his own employees for letting them do what they want (as long as it happens to be what he wants). The Spark who released the crab clank that nearly killed Agatha did it to make things interesting. Klaus made his life very interesting before he died.
He’s very arrogant – no one set you up as judge, jury and executioner, Klaus – but… it may actually be mercy more than justice that he sees as compromising his morals.
Book!Hermione has an almost pathological fear of failure. She wants to accomplish everything perfectly and by herself, and remain in control all the time. Movie!Hermione is the perfection she wishes she could be.
Book!Ron has a huge inferiority complex. He worries that he has no real accomplishments or valuable skills, and that his friends don’t really like or need him. Movie!Ron is the failure he fears he could be.
alright but what if every single one of the harry potter main characters eventually have a kid that they name “Fred” without knowing anyone else also did this (so now there’s fred potter, fred weasley, fred longbottom, etc) except they’re friends so all their kids are friends and as soon as one of them gets in trouble someone’s yelling “FRED” and 3-6 kids are turning around going “WHAT DID I DO” and I think that’s exactly the kind of chaotic legacy Fred would’ve liked to leave
But no, the first time it’s an accident. Fred Weasley and Fred Longbottom are born scat days apart and due to the rush and chaos the births caused no one thought to check what the other baby boy was called and well mum calls him Freddie anyway so where’s the harm.
But then baby boy Potter comes along and Harry and Ginny get into such a row because the only name they could agree on was Fred and that’s already taken. But George walks by and comments how Fred would have loved this. All of this stupid fighting and those silly prank wars which had lit up the Burrow just like they used too over his name. George doesn’t think he’s smiled so much since Fred has died and well that settles it doesn’t it?
Fred Sirius Potter was thus named. For pranksters must always stick together right?
But the next Fred, see he was special too because he came with his very own Georg(i)e. When Fred Wood was born just seconds after his already screaming sister, Oliver knew there was no other names he could give his children. Already he could imagine the horror on the other houses faces when the new set of twin beaters ruled the Quidditch pitch.
And well Rolf was unsure when Luna picked the name Fred but soon grew to love it. Fredderick Scamander had a nice ring to it and really Fred was such a nice name. It wasn’t until he met the rest of the bunch a few years later that maybe he regretted his decision.
