Hogwarts Overexposed Chapter 8

[szaleniec1000]

This chapter is titled "The Milk of Life", and not since Chapter 22 of Too Exposed was called "Joining" have I been more disturbed by a chapter title.

That isn't a title, that's a warning.

I think that tags needs to be renamed "thirty fetish pileup" because this is just a fucking clown car of weird fetishes going on. Huge tits on little girls, transformation, little girls feeling up other little girls excuse me while I go drink to forget.

I will admit, I'm honestly surprised the resurrection happened. Because up until now just about every bad thing that could've happened has been deus ex machina'd or handwaved away. I was expecting some grand sappy rescue overshadowed by breast fetishism.

I'll never get over the course this fic sets. Chapter 1: a rather dull summary of the author's headcanon for what happens after the books, and a few tantalising mentions of OCs. Chapter 2: Hooch eats Hermione's nipple and Snape gropes her better. For any other fic, that'd be the low point, but it keeps getting worse.

I was expecting some grand sappy rescue overshadowed by breast fetishism.

It's coming in the next chapter, and it's glorious. I think I've hinted at the upcoming scene before.

If memory serves, the whole... erm, feeding subplot here was so squicky that even the fans got put off by it. Neil, true to form, insisted it was completely justified and they were looking at it in the wrong way.

[szaleniec1000]

There didn't seem to be anything about that subplot in the archive, but I found some interesting messages anyway:

Neil: "I don't consider it sexual, but I'm expecting someone reading to consider it as such." The classic argument: it's not his fault his readers are perverts! Very HG131, come to think of it.

Neil, on Damien's sudden change of heart: "Damien is not happy about this whole Salazar thing. He thinks Emma is making a big mistake, plus he's worried that it will knock him down a notch in the chain of command. Damien uses his toys to torture people who he believes superior to him. I guess you could say it his way of bring them down a notch. Torturing kids would not give him the same pleasure he gets from torturing adults." And you wouldn't have to tell us this if it had been more clear in the writing.

Neil: "I often wonder if any actual nudists have read the story and how they feel about the way I depict their life style." Not well, I'd imagine.

That actually starts to make Damien seem halfway interesting. You know, if had actually been shown in the text in any way.

Though how it makes me imagine him also makes it impossible for me to imagine him working with the Minister of Magic, who is also an evil overlord.

Oh, and apparently the cow!fail was intentional. Whether it was intentional before a reader pointed out that cows don't work that way is something we might never know.

“It’s not just Ben,” Emily replied. “You and I seem to be the only two in the group that can stomach what they pass off as food around here. Timmy isn’t eating and neither is Caitlin”
Oh great. They're not gonna... they are, aren't they? ...it'll be a while until I can look at any kind of milk again.

“When you’re up to it, I think you should do me,”
*snrk*

I'm reminded of a certain description from The Eye of Argon.
The one the MSTing described as "a pair of cantaloupes attached to a baseball bat" or something like that? Thin enouff 2 b anorexic but wif relly big bobs, to roughly paraphrase My Immortal? And Crabbe is still drawn to the horror-boobs? It's trainwreck fascination, clear and simple.

Maybe I've read too much My Immortal, but "madly" as an adverb on a dialogue tag just makes me think of "I yelled in madly". (And then swooped he in singing to the tune of a gothic version of a song by 50 Cent.)
Same here, I'd say, but then I've read My Immortal so often there were times I could quote it to the typo.

Though if this had

The very same. She's "slender" with a "trim build" but has "huge outcropping breasts" and even speaks "bustily".

As long as it doesn't go the way of... what was the fic Sith sporked on tumblr? With Squirrelmort? One of the Robst ones, right?

Knowledge is Power, the one where the ceiling falls on them in the Ministry at the end of Order of the Phoenix and they're sent back in time when they meet Lily and James in the afterlife. In which Harry has a magic gun (where'd he purchase that?) that can shoot clean through Shield Charms because why not. Not quite as bad as ITWATN.

But it's still by Robst, so it's not gonna be good at all...

Oh shit. This is the chapter with THAT scene, isn't it?

[sickbritkid2]

Well, that's pretty redundant. When she's talking about the death of a baby in terms of how it'll banjax her plans, and then threatening to kill several more children into the bargain, "heartless" pretty much comes with the territory.

How does Ben factor in, anyway? IIRC, he was just kinda a "more the merrier" addition to the sacrifices and wholly unnecessary.
