Hi,

Hi,

I was thinking about the Horcrux hunt, and I had this thought, this is a headcannon but I had to share it, there is a small parallel between the argument of Ron and Harry to that of Aberforth and Albus. Dumbledore said to Harry that "reality returned in the form of my rough, unlettered and infinitely more admirable brother", and Aberforth shouted truths that he was not willing to hear. Something similar happens with Harry and Ron, in a way Ron was shouting the truth that Harry had no plan and he had no idea what he was doing, and Harry got angry, in a way he did not want to hear that. This is just a little thought I had, I would like your thoughts on this.

Hellooo! Sorry it took so long to answer you, I had to make a deep dive into my blog to find a related post (from @aliferousdreamer)and I didn't get the bright idea to search my "albus dumbledore" tag until like five seconds ago.

The thing is, Albus does think Aberforth was wiser than him on this one, but he still looks down on him (he feels the need to still point out that he's "rough, unlettered" even though he admits later that Aberforth was right).

Albus has a love-hate relationship with his brother. He simultaneously admires him for his devotion to Ariana, and hate him for having had the strength of character to choose Ariana over everything else unlike Albus himself. Though it's probable that Albus suffered from caregiver burnout; there's a reason why there's special training to become a full-time caregiver, and why it's also an actual job. You can be the most devoted, most loving family-oriented person ever and still end up with caregiver burnout simply because it's incredibly demanding.

... I do believe Dumbledore might have some of that subtle disdain towards Ron because Ron would remind him of Aberforth. Ron has that dream of being recognized above his brothers which Albus can 100% vibe with, but then he... doesn't try to pursue his ambitions and instead takes Harry and Hermione under his wing, accepting to be confined to the shadows instead? It's Aberforth all over again and it's kind of a sore point for Albus.

idk if this is a young fan thing or new fandom culture but some of yall think fics are abandoned way too quickly. a few months or a year or two is not unusual to go without a fic update. sometimes fics take longer to write, other times writers have rl events, or maybe there's multiple fics and one gets more priority. there are tons of reasons for fics not to be updated every week or every month. it also isn't uncommon for people to come back and update fics after a number of years—ive read updates that took five, or ten years. people's lives change, but they still want to tell their stories. personally, i never consider a fic abandoned unless the author has said so; though if it's been a few years i manage my expectations. but a last update being a year ago is... generally not a sign that a writer has abandoned their fic
