Q: Why are Grindelwald's eyes different colours?

The Dark LordIn Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, Grindelwald is clearly shown to have one black iris and one pale (white or grey) iris. Is there an explanation of why this is the case? I'm prepared to accept in-universe or out-of-universe answers. (I'm aware of Johnny Depp's personal point-of...

Q: Would The Fork, The Witch and The Worm be the start of another series?

RakihthaRRThe new book is scheduled to be released at the end of this year. Paolini himself has told that it would continue the story of Eragon and Saphira and in addition it will contain other stories in Alagaësia. Do you think this will turn in to a new series? Will it answer so many unanswered questions...

Q: Why didn't Sarunan break Gandalf's staff on Orthanc as Gandalf broke Saruman's?

Asif IqubalIn Lord of the Rings : The Two Towers after becoming Gandalf the White, he casted down Saruman from the Order and the Council. He also got the power to break Saruman's staff which is very powerful. So when Saruman captured Gandalf the Grey on Orthanc, why didn't Saruman do the same? He meant to...

Q: Kids’ show with toys to shoot at the on-screen images

ClassifiedWhat is the name of this kids’ show from the late 80s? It was based in space, and I think it was some sort of live-action TV show. Some of the images looked like TV static, and you could buy some toy spaceships shaped like a gun to shoot at the images (and somehow get hit) to gain or lose points....

Q: 1990s sci-fi series where humans in armed suits fight robots

Islam WazeryI'm looking for the name of a sci-fi series, intended for children. Robots have control over the humans. There is a squad of humans who attack them. Every member in this squad has a badge on their suit, and when they touch this badge the suit becomes armed. This series was not cartoon series, it ...

Q: What did Dumbledore teach?

Shana TarIn Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Dumbledore teaches DADA. But from the books we always heard about him as of a Transfiguration teacher (say, in Tom Riddle's days). It is stated in the movie that Dumbledore was prohibited to teach DADA by the Ministry, though the limitations seemed...

12:30 PM
Answering an (obvious) dupe instead of voting to close it, especially when you've answered the dupe-target, is... Classy. ._.
 
She has a habit of answering first looking for the dupe later from what I've seen
 
That sounds like a bad habit, especially when the dupe is provided
 
It's highly possible she didn't find the dupe when searching, forgot she answered a similar one and started answering before you VTCd of course
 
Probably not the biggest deal on SFF but I understand the issue when this kind of stuff happens on SO-like
 
The problem on SO is different cos there aren't enough people in the queues to deal with the amount of questions
I mean the CV queue is currently at 8.7k which I think is just under average unless things have changed since I used to go on there
 
12:44 PM
8.7k...
And it's a busy day for SFF when there are 6 on the same day... :P
 
Yup haha
SO used to sit about 10k for CVs
Not sure what they did to improve it or if flags just age away faster
@TheLethalCarrot Any thoughts on this?
@Jenayah ^ apparently it removed the ping
 
@Jenayah I think we've all done that at times. Go "oh, I can answer that", write up an answer, and then discover that it's a dupe - even if you would have noticed that it was a dupe way earlier if you hadn't gotten caught up in the rush of answering
 
@TheLethalCarrot on what?
 
The dupe thing that I linked to
 
@Mithrandir well, hence why I qualified with being able to close, and more or less explicit implication of knowing the tag pretty well already (it's not a one-time thing is what I'm saying)
But sure not denying it happens, I did the same once in my early days scifi.stackexchange.com/a/185643/98028
@TheLethalCarrot lemme check
 
12:56 PM
I did the same thing a few days ago :P
 
@TheLethalCarrot agreed your answer is better than the accepted one, but couldn't that rather be merged? There are a couple answers on oldest one too
 
I was thinking dupe, dunno about merge...
 
Why "dunno"?
 
Cos I'm not sure if it would be the best route haha

Q: Drarry fan fiction where the Malfoys hide the fact they are Veelas from Draco

HannahI once read the description of a Drarry fan fic I didn't like at the time. I never had a chance to read it. It was about Veelas and stuff. The description was something like this: "What if some of the Malfoys hid the fact they were Veelas from Draco? You end up with a very confused Draco Malfoy ...

 
1:30 PM
Why the hell are there so many fanfic stories about Draco Malfoy being a Veela?!
I thought this would be an easy find and decided to risk Googling it, but now I think it's too broad.
 
Why the hell are there so many fanfic stories?!
FTFY
 
Well, that too.
Oh, are Veelas blond(e)? I guess that could explain it.
 
@Randal'Thor found it... I think :P
and all hail incognito browsing!
ah shit now there's a in my tag tab isn't it
 
@Jenayah Did you add it as a favourite watched tag yet?

Oh and speaking of ducks ...
 
@Randal'Thor You'll pay for this

@Jenayah Three Galleons, nine Sickles, and a Knut?
 
That's how much you value your life? :P
 
@Jenayah why we even have that tag O.o
So we can create ship name and fan ship names too as tags?
 
blah blah blah someone created it blah we don't like it blah blah useful enough we haven't nuked them

@Randal'Thor some very specific fanfic patterns are... incredibly common
I have no idea who started the trope, but "Daughter of Sirius Black, dead mother, raised by Lupin, falls in love with a Weasley" is incredibly common. I found at least seven of them, a couple of them have the girl being related to the Malfoys, but I don't really have much more time right now, so if anyone wants to dig deeper, be my guest.

And that's on ONE site
which isn't even AO3/FFNET
 
@TheLethalCarrot But I can still hate it as it's stupid
 
1:45 PM
@AnkitSharma oh sure
 
Oh I think we're all in agreement there
 
::adding in I hate this tag but have to ignore list::
 
@TheLethalCarrot I seem to recall the answer may be "blame @SQB"?
Not sure though. Apologies to SQB if not.
@Jenayah No, it's a reference. (Hint: I'm your brother!)
 
@Randal'Thor My research say the same ;)
 
Blame @SQB is always the default though right? :P

The whole tag hierarchy thing isn't great but it's a decent solution
 
hmmm
As long as I am allow to add franchise tags I will shut up
 
Well franchise tags are a part of the hierarchy really
 
Anyways I have an ID which is little sci-fi (wish coming true magically) but I doubt if it ever get an answer. Should I still ask O.o

little sci-fi or zero sci-fi?

@Jenayah ok doing
 
@Jenayah Whether people normally turn into trees or not?
 
and whoever might be lurking in the shadows now
 
But it's Hindi Indian one
 
2:01 PM
@TheLethalCarrot whether the book/movie/show/stuff is SFF enough
 
They're lurking in the shadows, where nobody can see,
And they're chaining up people, and they're bringin' 'em to me,
Asking me, "Kill them now, or later?"

@AnkitSharma So?
 
@AnkitSharma no problem, "localized" questions get answers too

@Randal'Thor I am not sure how is Indian crowd here and it's too old and classic stuff for people to even know. Anyways started typing already and I did got answer for Indian comics in past ( 1 out of three time) so finger crossed
 
Isn't there an active Indian user? (other than you)
I thought so but can't remember who at the moment
 
@Jenayah Localised? More people in India than in the whole of Europe ;-)
 
Of course that doesn't mean they'll know but y'know better chances etc etc
 
@Jenayah Sachin? Aka user931, aka SS, aka whatever-his-name-is-atm.
 
Newt Scamander guy!
that's the one!
 
2:06 PM
Yeah, him.
 
@Randal'Thor true, true
 
@Randal'Thor But not every SE have so many active Indian old users
 
He's had a lot of different names over the years.
 
2:08 PM
@Randal'Thor He is from a country where google is banned ;)
So Indian is out of probability list ;)
 
@AnkitSharma I thought he's from the same country as you?
 
Maybe he'll Ask Jeeves
 
@Randal'Thor I can't see user's location from there IP ;)
 
2:24 PM
done but not sure about tagging
It can be a one-off episode, made for TV film, short film
 
let's get Googling :P
 
But what more tags I need?
 
and/or
I think
 
Eh, media tags aren't necessary.
 
true
but it's better with a media tag

because I use them for when I'm searching for recommendations
eh I dunno it's just better
 
@Randal'Thor so that people are sure it’s not novel Id ;)
 
@AnkitSharma If they read the post, they'd know that anyway.
 
2:36 PM
saves time
 
It does give people a good idea of what the media is before opening the question
No point opening it if it's a novel and you haven't read any etc.
Good tagging is just as vital as a good title
 
@TheLethalCarrot There are people who haven't read any novels?!
 
@TheLethalCarrot like i avoid clicking on novel ID
@Randal'Thor I have read very few
 
@Randal'Thor There are also some freaks that barely watch TV

2:39 PM
@TheLethalCarrot raises hands
 
@TheLethalCarrot same freaks who only like hunger games films ;) and nothing else
 
Or have never watched Star Wars
 
@Randal'Thor Well, illiterates for a start. Or those without spare time to fritter away on novels.
@AnkitSharma I don't think anyone is that much of a HG fan, even DukeZhou ;-)
 
Answer looks similar , will dig more after reaching home
@Randal'Thor humanity is doomed
 
@AnkitSharma Why would humanity be doomed because nobody watches only HG films to the exclusion of all else?
 
2:45 PM
@Randal'Thor or busy prople?
 
@AnkitSharma Yes, that's the second category I mentioned.
 
@Randal'Thor for someone appreciating them specially the forced last two parts
 
> The children later force her into the forest,and break her branches when she becomes a tree.And run away abandoning Cheluvi,Cheluvi is unable to regain her human form due to the missing branches.

Q: Scifi short story about Eiffel Tower destruction threat

Steven JamesI read a short story years ago that aliens were about to invade Earth, but as Earth was united and peaceful it had no opposing force. All I remember is that some agents went on the Eiffel Tower and spoke in front of others that it was a shame the Eiffel Tower would be destroyed soon. The other...

 
@AnkitSharma You think humanity is doomed because someone likes a film that you don't? Sounds ... inclusive.
 
@Randal'Thor I think I've seen enough people regret telling me that.
 
@Randal'Thor it’s inclusive if your exclude everyone ;)
 
Also, Mockingjay was the best part of HG, at least in terms of what was actually happening (fighting for a better society rather than fighting for the entertainment of the rich). It did get a bit wearing when she was having a nervous breakdown every other chapter, admittedly.
 
@Randal'Thor anyways liking them is fine but only liking them is little werid
Last two films set me way too off
Even i prefer twilights over the last part
 
2:52 PM
@AnkitSharma Sure, and as I said, I don't think there's anyone who's sufficiently HG fanboy to only like them to the exclusion of all else.
 
@Randal'Thor i though you were ?
 
@AnkitSharma I don't know where you get that idea from.
I'm also a fan of Stardust, for example.
(To my shame, without having read the book.)
 
Ohh
Startdust I want to watch soon but not getting chance
 
I think Napoleon may be a fan of it too.
Unless I'm mixing him up with Valorum.
 
@Randal'Thor do we really mix those two people :O

I prefer keeping combustible things apart ;)

"A Flowering Tree" is a short story written by A. K. Ramanujan in his 1997 book A Flowering Tree and Other Folk Tales From India. In actuality, it is a Kannada folklore told by women which is translated by A. K. Ramanujan to English. The story was collected in several versions in the Karnataka region over the span of twenty years by Ramanujan and his fellow folklorists It is a woman-centered tale and attempts to establish a sisterhood between women and nature. This has been regularly done by many feminist writers.Like most folktales from around the world, A Flowering Tree synthesizes two discrete...

@Alex oh the latter... as said above I didn't get through the whole answer :P
 
@Jenayah Well to summarize: When the answerer was a kid he thought that Metropolis sounded like New York City, was probably Kansas City, and the authors assumed you would think it was New York City. Gotham was probably modeled on Chicago.

Q: Why didn't the Trace work in Goblet of Fire?

Question has ten answers, yet even the best one is only speculation with no cited evidence.
 
6:58 PM
@Alex "Best" being most upvoted?
 
@RDFozz I guess.
 
My scifi and movies both question in HNQ at same time.
 
@Alex Honestly, I thought Mooz's answer was pretty reasonable. Still not explicitly backed by canon, of ocurse, but at least basically logical.
 
@RDFozz Well, it's logical, but I don't think it's true. The most important premise (in my opinion) is: It doesn't know for sure sure who the underage wizard was, or the nature of the magic (very powerful dark magic or a simple Lumos). Yet the first half of the sentence is unsupported, and the second half is contradicted by the times that the they knew the precise charm that was used. I also find it unlikely that the trace-monitors abandoned their trace-monitoring to go watch the Tournament.
 
7:13 PM
@Alex I read that as meaning the traces were still being monitored, but that the people who would take action on a trace report were at the tournament.
 
@RDFozz Okay, that's a possibility, but even so, I don't think anyone besides a few top officials were at the Tournament. I don't think every case of underage magic needs to go through Fudge. The Improper Use of Magic office should be able to handle it on their own.
 
I do suddenly wonder if the Ministry has the equivalent of the "Marauder's Map" for all of England. I'm kind of assuming not, or that it's impractical (you've want a version that you could "zoom" in and out of) - but it's an interesting thought.
 
@RDFozz Well, part of the reason why the question is so hard to answer is that we are never really given any information about the tracing process. For all we know they do have a giant map.

Q: in Star Wars what is the furthest Planet from the center of their universe?

Skylor Emberin Star Wars what is the furthest Planet from the center of their universe? does it have life on it? does it have an appearance in a movie?

 
ahah, true
 
@Alex ... you'd seem like a wise, benevolent, intelligent individual?
 
@RDFozz ... Probably not :P
 
@RDFozz Well, said person has called me "an unsufferable twisted, bully boy" so...

Sorry, sorry - slipped into "husband-speak" mode for a moment. It's how I prompt other gentlemen into appropriately flattering their ladies.
 
For context...

@Alex you're an unsufferable twisted, bully boy turning into an evil snakelike creature after splitting his own soul?

@TheLethalCarrot I'm like Tom Riddle.
 
@Jenayah Context is overrrated.

@RDFozz er... I'm not Alex's lady :P
 
@Jenayah Oh, I know that. Hence it's being mildly inappropriate, and my apology!
 
No problem

(tongue somewhat planted in cheek for all three of my last statements, naturally!)
 
hm?
idiom I don't know?
 
The idiom tongue-in-cheek refers to a humorous or sarcastic statement expressed in a mock serious manner. == History == The phrase originally expressed contempt, but by 1842 had acquired its modern meaning. Early users of the phrase include Sir Walter Scott in his 1828 The Fair Maid of Perth. The physical act of putting one's tongue into one's cheek once signified contempt. For example, in Tobias Smollett's The Adventures of Roderick Random, which was published in 1748, the eponymous hero takes a coach to Bath, and on the way, apprehends a highwayman. This provokes an altercation with a less brave...
 
Exactly
 
Today I learned
 
Wait, so does that mean I really am wise, benevolent, and intelligent?

"humourous or sarcastic"
I mean, you could be, I suppose, but it's hard to tell all that much from a chat room transcript.
 
Eh, you're clearly not reading it carefully enough.

Q: Is there a map of Kane's Earth that matches modern continents?

Zeiss IkonOne of my favorite fantasy novel/story series is Karl Edward Wagner's Kane -- three novels and two collections that were available before 1980, and a couple newer stories (that I've never seen and wasn't aware of until recently). One of the things I always imagined about these stories was that t...

 
I think I can safely grant intelligent, at a minimum

@Alex you do remmeber that the guy wanted to cheat death, right? Cheating death by dying multiple times isn't his kind of play IMO
 
@Jenayah But it's not really dying, is it? Especially if he will be restored immediately.
 
Just because it isn't technically, doesn't mean it still doesn't feel like it
Plus it kinda give away the Horcrux secret
 
In any case, note that I specifically did not ask why he didn't do it. I made sure to only ask if there is a known effect, so that we can discount any opinions.
 
Horcrux secrecy still stands
 
Are people more likely to figure out that he's using horcruxes if he dies twice than if he dies once?
 
9:42 PM
Some, probably
Imagine if there was a Hermione-like character at the ministry or whatever

Q: Is there any downside to Voldemort getting "killed"?

AlexA large part of the plot of Goblet of Fire hinges on the fact that Voldemort insisted on specifically using Harry for his rebirthing ritual. As he says in the graveyard: But I knew the one I must use, if I was to rise again, more powerful than I had been when I had fallen. I wanted Harry Pott...

 
Eh, I doubt any more than would figure it out from what he actually told them in the graveyard.
 
"uh, this guy died more than once/twice. Let's wrap up every literature about such a thing"
Death Eaters are another matter
though tbh... If you always see your "unvincible" master dying and being reborn... Kind of weakens the effect
 
Well, you can post it as an answer. I might even upvote it, even if I don't necessarily agree.
@Jenayah Maybe that makes him look even more invincible.
 
@Alex mmmh... It gets boring at some point :P
@Alex too lazy to phrase it properly
 
9:51 PM
@Jenayah How about: This is the dumbest question I've ever seen! Obviously Voldemort would not want to kill himself again because then even the fools at the Ministry might figure out that he was using Horcruxes.
 
1. It's certainly not the dumbest question I've ever read
2. It's not that obvious and Ministry people are dumb
3. Write that as a self-answer if you're motivated :P
