IC Prospective (fifth year)

Character: Abed Nadir
Mun: Amanda
Plot specific: Nope


Does anyone ever feel like going to school here is just one big life lesson over how love and friendship conquer all? Or is that just me?

If it's just me then that's okay; I'm pretty used to it.

That's an interesting way to think about it, Abed!
One could say that about most educational programs though, don't you think?
What we ultimately learn is to depend on one another to grow as people!

[metaing]

Like after school specials and children's cartoons. It's all about the magic of friendship and acceptance.
Seems a bit heavy handed sometimes.

this made me go watch an ep of community when i saw it, btw |D

Well, one might argue that we have an awful lot of real magic too!
But I do agree that muggle television has a lot of stories based around banding together in a strange new place.
Hogwarts would certainly fit the bill, hoo hoo!

good!!

Maybe we have too much magic. Though I'm pretty sure that's not possible. All the excess magic always has a purpose in the end or is part of a big reveal, so I bet all of our friendships will be integral to our survival.

Do you think wizards would be more open to television if they knew how much of it is accessible to them? Pretty much all the shenanigans you see on TV have happened here, like animals running wild or teachers having really dramatic and fascinating relationships. Like with Professor Donoghue and Professor Strider. It's good stuff.

What exactly do you think we need to survive?
Other than all the homework, I mean.

Oh, maybe! Wizards do like books, after all.
But I think sometimes wizards don't like seeing that muggles are capable of their own sort of magic.
If that makes sense, I mean.
Television and movies can do some amazing things that most wizards wouldn't expect muggles to even be able to create an illusion of!
And I do get the feeling that they would get a little impatient with the detective films I love so much.
They know the quick and fast magical way to solve the mystery in seconds!
It takes away the magic if you don't know much about the muggle world as it really is, I think.

Family, friends, a high tolerance for pain after jumping through windows, the Force, a whip, lots of other things.

Good point. I guess it's their loss, really. If they can't appreciate them then it's more for you and me and Muggles and open minded wizards.

[stubbornskeptic]

Hoo hoo, indeed!
I have to say, I wonder what it'd be like if I hadn't had exposure as a kid.
Having a foot into the muggle world was certainly interesting!

[metaing]

You'd probably be even stuffier, not to mention you'd probably say unintentionally hurtful things a lot. It wouldn't be because of you, but I've seen a lot of purebloods either being outright hateful or just ignorant. It's pretty easy to spot who's pure and who's half because of that.

[stubbornskeptic]

Abed, I'd appreciate it if you didn't put it that way.
It sounds like you're saying I'm stuffy already. :B
