  just get yourself a UV flashlight, or bring some flowers to your nearest laser tag arena. this is just how stuff looks under blacklight sometimes (which isn’t to say it isn’t cool, just that you don’t need fancy tech to see it),

  regarding your edit, it was hardly a perfect solution. he just bit his lip real hard. that was his message to himself. i think it’s mentioned a few paragraphs before he tells mcgonnagall about it. it is in there, but it is easy to miss on the first read through, to be sure.

  i assure you, there is much weirder harry potter fanfiction out there. i once read a Hogwarts Castle/Giant Squid smut fic.

  Also, pretty sure a fellow named Roko came up with the basilisk, not Yudkowsky.

  from my understanding, the ai cult initially sprang up on the forum he hosted (hosts? idk), but he didn’t exactly start it, any more than Queen Elizabeth II invented punk rock.

  but he did write the fanfic, and it’s honestly pretty good. low bar i know, but dude’s a better author than jowling ever was, and i definitely recommend it to anyone into HP fanfics.

  the idea that national borders would still exist, let alone be so unchanged, after such a world changing impact, is laughable.
