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
Other often used DM proverbs that are actually thinly layered warnings;
“You can certainly try.” “Do you say that in character?” “Do you say that out loud?” “You can try to touch it.” “Where are you looking?” “Are you paying attention to what’s going on over there?” “That’s going to be hard, but I’d love to see you pull it off.” “It’s your choice.” “Do you really want my opinion?”
