A large part of the reason families were bigger in the past was because marital rape was not considered rape and birth control/abortion methods were ineffective, dangerous and/or illegal. We can dance around this and act like our great great great grandmothers just loveddddd being mamas so much that they decided out of their own free will to have 11 children. We can pretend that they DECIDED to have big families because it was a financially advantageous decision so they could have more labor around the farm. But a lot of children in the past were fundamentally unwanted and not conceived out of love, children were not a choice women got to make. We need to admit that and stop pretending historical women were inherently more maternal because they were impregnated at the age of 15 and kept having babies until they were 40. That did not make them loving mothers, it did not make them ‘the divine feminine’ and it sure did not make them happy.

The living room walls began to form a mosaic of jigsaws. Each of them depicted different scenes: landscapes, more gardens, some of architecture, and a memorable one of a kneazle. Yet with all these idyllic images on the wall Draco’s eyes were always drawn to the picture in front of him: Potter on his knees as his eyes rapidly searched the table for the right pieces.
Through all their differences they somehow managed to work together. The images started appearing faster, the piece count started to go up, and they continued to build in harmony. Draco’s attention went back to the puzzle as Potter placed the last piece.He added it to their museum as Draco thought, What an odd scenery we must make.

Doc is fighting the good fight on Twitter (calling out people who hate his rainbow beacon) and idk I thought this was very sweet
Harry and Draco's reactions in the aftermath of the Sectumsempra incident are both so wild.
Like, Harry witnesses Draco 1) basically straight up admit to being a Death Eater on a mission and then 2) attack him and attempt to use an Unforgivable Curse
and his reaction is to be like 'wow. draco was really upset and i almost hurt him in self defense after he attacked me. this is the worst thing i have ever done in my life and i should back off.' and THEN even after he is proven right and Draco's actions result in Bill's maiming and seemingly also are the reason that Snape is able to kill Dumbledore Harry never regrets his actions. He never feels guilty that he didn't do more to stop Draco or wishes Draco had died in the bathroom or wishes any type of ill on him. No. He just WORRIES about Draco.
Meanwhile, from Draco's POV Harry 1) hunts him down in a vulnerable moment and then 2) once they get into a fight attempts to brutally murder him with a cruel and deadly spell.
and his reaction is to be like 'eh it's fine. he probably didn't mean it. and i deserved it.' Like PANSY vilifies Harry to the school. But Draco never does. Nor does he try to get revenge on Harry. And their next interaction is at the Manor where Draco immediately risks everything by lying to protect him.
