Why didn't he just make a random rock a horcrux and then bury it underground in a random forest?
Rule of cool.
Why didn't he just bury a random rock up his ass
>>223944415Why didn't just bury a random rock up your ass?
>>223944391It's literally a story about magic for retarded children
>>223944391I always assumed that it had to be an item that held sentimental value
>>223944956It was, in the first three books anyways. Then came book 4 and both it and the rest of the books were meant to be for older audiences, meaning plot holes should've been taken more seriously.
this is literally, directly answered. voldemort has an overwhelming amount of hubris. he could certainly make his horcruxes out of fucking anything and drop them in the ocean, but instead he searches out artifacts of legend and then hides them in places of power. the one exception to this was his diary, but entrusting it to malfoy was retarded
>>223945005Like what the anon above stated. Even if you could only make horcruxes out of items with sentimental value, what was stopping him from just throwing said item into the ocean? If he just did that he would've won, it would've been impossible to kill him.
>>223945071nothing was stopping him except himself, it's called a tragic flaw. read aristotle
>>223945071>what was stopping him from just throwing said item into the ocean?Dude that's bits of your soul, you'll drown.
>>223945088Seems more like a cheap move on the author's part, "The reason he didn't press the button that grants him automatic victory is because he just didn't ok?"
>>223945110I don't think it was physically a life form that operates like how a human would. You could only destroy a horcrux through special ways, not by drowning it.
>>223945124you are literally too illiterate to understand a book written for children
>>223945151Rowling was too illiterate to write a competent book series void of major plotholes.
>>223945168you are so illiterate you think a basic literary tool that has been in the explicit list of options for thousands of years ago is a "plot hole"
>>223944415Because your revive token shouldn't be in the same location as yourself
>>223944391See, people asking these kind of questions is why i always say Book 6 and 7 were never actually adapted.
>>223945012Still made for retards
>>223944391Look at this muggle with his muggle mindset. You'll never get it muggle.
>>223945151NTA but I can see the other guy's point that it can be used as a lazy writer excuse, and you getting all pissy and defensive isn't making you look any smarter
>>223945247i explained the concept in full and he didn't get it, so i've switched to just insulting him which is more entertaining for me
>>223944391Seems like the horcrux needs to be found by a witch or wizard and they must take additional steps to re-embody you. So having horcruxes that are tied to wizarding history maximizes the chances that it will be found by a witch or wizard in the future as opposed to lost and forgotten and left buried under ground for eternity.Also horcruxes are blatant ripoffs of the one ring.
>>223944391Because he was so powerful and advanced he thought nobody would ever figure it out. Him splitting his soul 7 times was quite literally unobtanium in the HP universe and the only person who LITERALLY could have ever figured it out was Dumbledore (Snape was also critical in helping and an S++++ tier wizard). If it wasn't for him we'd all be under the thousand year Reich of old Uncle Voldy right now.
Why didn't he horcrux a sattelite before they blasted it off to space?
>>223945305>tolkien is the only author who has ever written about a phylactery and in fact came up with the idea from nothing with zero inspiration
>>223945013Probably everyone would do that. If youre the kind of person to make horcruxes youre already nuts. There are other ways to extend the lifespan in the setting. And no one would put their soul in a random rock. Its still your soul and youd have some kind of attachment to it. Like asking why dont you put part of your soul in the Ganges River. Youre automatically disgusted by the idea. But a crown or something?
>>223945305i dont think they need to be found by anyone unless someone needs to destroy them. Is seems like you just get turned into some ghost spirit shit when you die and then have to find a way to revive/get a new body. He used quarell first, then was going to use the stone. In the 4th book it was just some ritual that didnt actually involve his horcruxes (harry doesnt count it was just the blood of the enemy or some shit). so it seems like you could drop something in the ocean and just keep getting a new body infinitely
>>223945071The thing with horcruxes, especially to the extent that Voldemort went, is that it is a very esoteric magic for which nobody really knows all the details. On paper the deal is simple. You perform a murder, you create a soul fragment and once you tether it you get immortality. Keep the tether safe and done. But that mentions nothing about the virtual non-existence that Voldemort got when he got wrecked by the rebound from child Harry, or the things he did that gained or lost him power while he was like that.Let's say you make a horcrux and then get murdered a dozen times. Does your soul deteriorate further? How about if you made seven? Maybe after that you're technically alive or in the mortal world, but you're so powerless you might have been been better off dead.At face value it might seem like Voldermort just found this instant win dark magic but with the way that Dumbledore stressed the fact that Voldemort was blind to areas of magic that didn't interest him it wouldn't be that far fetched to think that there are more serious weaknesses to it that just never came up. And obviously in the meantime that guy is still going around wrecking shit while respawning once or twice.
>>223944486Why didn’t I bury my cock up your ass?
>>223945312He wasnt smart enough to make his own Philosopher's Stone and just use that. Flemel didnt need to cut his soul up, he just lived for 700+ years because he had a Stone and knew how to make one. Voldemort went with Horcruxes because he's an insane evil person. He found them in the restricted section himself and they were dark magic so he was drawn to that. He had to try to steal Flemel's stone and not even to use it normally, iirc the intent was to use it to return to a physical body.
>>223945071horrocruxes are not 100% undestroyable,a magic creature like a basilisk could destroy it.very risky.
>>223945446i think basilisk venom is just op, it solos, what, six of voldemort's horcruxes?
>>223945312The horrible regime where we wouldn't be ruled by rich goblins. And also why the fuck did he only stop at seven? Why didn't he just split his soul even more times? I get that maybe it'd be because he would just fall apart an die if he split his soul seven times, but how did he know seven would be the max number he could do?
>>223945470it wasn't the max, he just liked the number seven. you guys are severely underestimating how much of voldemort's character is that his entire fucking life is a vanity project
>>223945483nah,it was literal unironic numerologythe number 7 made the enchantment more powerful
Why didn't she just whore-crux her license? could 'ave driven forever
>>2239454707 has magic power and the more you do it the less stable your soul is and bad things can happen. Its because he went for 7 that he actually made 8 on accident through Harry. He didn't even know that happened either. The fact it can be split implies it is finite, so if he kept doing dumb shit hed eventually obliterate his own soul forever in some way, maybe hed just straight up self detonate like a magic atomic bomb.
>>223945426You're a big guy.
>>223945483Rowling actually fucking included the idea of seven being a lucky number. I know it's primarily Rowling's fault but literally the entire reason Harry and his friends even won in the end was because Voldemort was fucking retarded.
>>223945492there's no real textual support for that, voldemort just jumps straight to, "damn, but wouldn't it be sick if i had seven of them?"
>>223945566its true that it could be just voldy's autism,but in the book he mentions that the number seven is a powerful magic number and that would make the spells more powerful.
>>223945598he brings it up as a question, but my reading of that scene is that it's more about feeding his chuunibyou than it is about actually making the spell more powerful
>>223945642if you live in a world where actual fairies and unicorns are real you may as well believe in numerology
>bro, just stick pieces of your soul in a random fucking rockkys, dude
>>223945733Seen any good visions lately Sybill?
>>223944391why didnt "moody" say "hey harry grab that cup" in the very first chapter of tGoF?
>>223945418this woman is savage.
>>223945845moody wasn't in the first chapter
>>223945840lelthey give a hint that she is very bad at what she does but divination can actually be reliable,when that centaur starts teaching in the school and he mocks her for being so bad at seing the future.
>>223945916she's a shitty day to day diviner, but also one of the very, very few people who gets struck with actual literal prophecies. she absolutely should not be teaching a class on the subject, but she's too important of a resource for dumbledore to let her be out from under his control
>>223945948>dumbledore allowed decades of students to learn nothing about divination because there was a 0.1% chance trelawney might shit out another Prophecy and he doesn't want her to be near a death eater when it happensLol, dude really stopped caring about anything other than defeating Voldy.
>>223945071>what was stopping him from just throwing said item into the oceanDumbledore knows mermish. Bodies of water are compromised.
>>223944391Because he was vain and wanted to put his soul in important itemsAlso he may actually need to get his soul back at some point.
>make an ice cube your horcrux>heat it up so it melts and turns into liquid>heat it more so it boils and evaporates into the atmosphereyour move Potter
>>223945428The Sorcerer's stone wasn't fuck up proof like a horcrux is either. One bad batch and you're dead. Dumbledore gives a long speech about it in book 6 I think.

>>223947385This post was factchecked by real Death Eater patriots TRUE
why didn't he just dome harreh with a glock?
>>223944391He was exploring unknown depths of magic nobody had attempted before.He wanted a 7-part soul because 7 is a powerful magical number, so he thought it might make him stronger. Since nobody had tried this before he had no idea if it would actually do anything.Along the same lines, he wanted to imbue his soul in important magical relics. He probably thought this would make him stronger too.He may have also believed that people would be less inclined to destroy valuable relics if they were ever discovered.And of course it was also a simple matter of pride. He was an egomaniac, and didn't want to store his soul in some random trash in the woods.
>>223947561Nice explanations, arch mage
>>223947561Yeah pretty much. Also, he was so over the top evil because the books were meant for children and it was written long before everyone had to be le morally gray. I do sometimes wish JK would have expanded on him more as character other than him being a rape baby incapable of love but overall I understand why she took the approach she did. The Tom Riddle pensive chapters are all really good.
Horcruxes were written in such a retarded way. I always thought you had to put pieces of your soul in objects, weakening yourself in the process so you couldn't do it too much, and then if you die a ritual can be done to retrieve your soul from the object and bring you back. It seems the pieces of the soul just stay in the objects regardless so you can technically come back an unlimited number of times?
>>223948564Yeah but you become less human and more deformed/feral each time. It's why you know who looks like a snake and starts breaking down mentally and physically.
>>223948624Voldemort describing his experiences having to continuously will himself to keep resisting and having to possess the bodies of animals just to exist sounded like hell. Makes sense that he comes back mildly insane from that.
>>223948707>to keep resistingto keep existing
>>223948624But from where? Do you just float around as a spirit possessing people/animals in the meantime?
>>223948564>It seems the pieces of the soul just stay in the objects regardless so you can technically come back an unlimited number of times?Yeah it's easy to misunderstand.The horcruxes aren't extra lives. They just tether your soul to the mortal world. So if you die you become a sort of ghost which can possess people and be revived with a new body.
>>223944391how would he find it again to revive himself? fucking idiot. there's so much wrong with these shit books and movies and that's the thing you choose. what a shoddy excuse for a rowlingphobe you are
Reminder that this mother fucker chose the name "Voldemort" all for the sake of a retarded anagram.
>>223949168Doubly stupid because it was an anagram of his real name, and the whole point was he was trying to abandon his old name which he hated because it was tied to his muggle father.
>>223948781AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSPOILER THAT SHIT FFS
>>223945492if that were true he'd have gone for 777
>>223944391Bulma would have just invented a device to locate the 7 dragon balls. Then Hermione would use the time turner to give it to her past self.Goku would have given Voldemort a sensu bean because he would be confident his son Harry Potter was strong enough to beat a Perfect Voldemort.

you dont need to physically have the horcruxes to revive and the horcruxes arent destroyed after revival you fucking retards. they can be anything and anywhere and you have infinite revives
>>223949603nope, he has to play a character that gets cucked and dies, so he takes Cedric's place.
>>223949813it's got it's own dedicated thread now fortunately.
>>223944391>go to the forest>cast "detect magic">gg ez
>>223945071And how will he retrieve it?
>>223945071Because you still need to be able to find it so you can be revived.
>>223944391Why didn't he just hide the horcrux somewhere no one would ever look, like a /tv/ Svengoolie paid shill thread?
>>223945418The only person who deadnames him in the books is Dumbledore. So her use of the pronoun "I" here clearly shows us she wrote him as a self insert. Which is interesting.
>>223947945>I do sometimes wish JK would have expanded on him more as characterHe as an orphan adopted by a homosexual (pederast) schoolmaster. You don't exactly have to read between the lines to figure out how Lil' Voldy got so fucked up.
>>223945005It’s his pet rock RockyHe’s had since he was a boy
>>223950259He had to rely on his followers and thus found out the ones willing to search for him were dumb enough to get caught while the ones who could have found him never searched Albania for him.
>>223950407Harry also calls him Tom in Book 7.
>>223949813The true Lore is Voldemort used CHIM to turn Malfoid into a boy as a baby so Harry Potter would never have the opportunity to cuck him straight to Hell
>>223950928What happens if a whorecrux has a baby?
>>223951096You get a free anchor Soul upon birth
>>223951096Nagini laid an egg and Voldemort returnedSkydance, give me lots of money
>>223944391Because he was an edgelord that wanted cool horcruxes because he thought magical artifacts would be extra powerful.
>>223944391Was one horcrux in general supposed to keep your original body alive after mortal wounds but through magical love asspull he got discorporialized and made him a spooky disembodied soul or is becoming a ghost bound to the mortal world what was supposed to happen?
>>223953216Anon, anon, you're asking the wrong questions. JK Rowling is much more concerned with whether Voldemort was gay, and what gay fetishes he has.
>>223953216I assume turning into a spooky ghost was normal.But Voldemort was probably extra weak as a spooky ghost because he ripped his soul into so many pieces. He weakened his soul, and soul is all he was. He describes how hard it was to keep himself alive in that state. How it required constant effort to will himself to exist.
>>223949859disturbing possibility
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvYrdN8GCBc
>>223953216no bro the horcrux just anchors your soul to the mortal plane or whatever. your body is gone no matter what. in fact it's my understanding that they could have killed him first and destroyed the horcruxes second.voldemort did need to be the one to kill harry however otherwise he would die fr or some shit.another thing that's stupid is your soul rips every time you kill someone. making the horcrux just puts that soul shard into an object. so unless we're going with the whole "war isn't murder" bs then most everyone should have fractured souls by the end.
>>223953868>another thing that's stupid is your soul rips every time you kill someone.Presumably that rip heals itself if you're not stuffing it into an object because lots of wizards who kill others are fine.
>>223944391women can't write.
>>223953868>your soul rips every time you kill someone. making the horcrux just puts that soul shard into an objectI always interpreted it differently. Killing damages the soul, but doesn't rip your soul into pieces. Making a horcrux is like shoving a crowbar into the crack to lever it open and make it worse. Taking advantage of the weak spot to split the soul.
>>223953868>>223953926I assume it's less that killing rips your soul by itself and more like it temporarily wounds or "cracks" it (it also has to be a deliberate malicious act of murder). You can then use whatever ritual actually goes into making a Horcrux to lever that wound open and rip off a bit of your soul, but you have to do it soon enough after the murder, hence why Voldemort wasn't just banking kills to make Horcruxes but rather made each one after a specific murder. I guess if you make enough Horcruxes (because who the hell would be insane enough to make more than one?) it fucks up your soul enough that bits can go flying off willy-nilly, that being how Harry became a Horcrux.
>>223953957>>223954027Hivemind lmao
>>223944391how come dumbledore somehow able to locate all the horcruxes?I'm pretty sure voldy kept it a secret
>>223945005The problem is that half of them have no established sentimental value to Tom.>The DiaryObviously has sentimental value, though I find the whole thing and Chamber of Secrets in general to be out of character. Regardless, it's a personal diary, makes sense.>The RingFamily heirloom, but more sentimental in terms of what the murders that he committed to retrieve it represent. Makes sense.>The LocketDubious attachment at best. It's a Slytherin heirloom, that's it. Sentimental technically, but the weakest of the "legitimate" horcruxes.>The CupLiterally no attachment whatsoever.>The DiademLiterally no attachment whatsoever.>The SnakeUh, it was his pet snake. Did he really, really like this specific snake? Is it ever referenced during his flashbacks and lore dumps or in his diary? Uh... fuck it...
>>223954027>You can then use whatever ritual actually goes into making a Horcrux to lever that wound open and rip off a bit of your soul, but you have to do it soon enough after the murderIf this is true then the soul that got attached to Harry must've split from Lily's death. Since the next killing curse bounced off baby Harry and rebounded. Picturing it is kinda surreal desu. Voldemort going through the ritual while kid Harry is crying his head off in the background.
>>223954046He knew Tom and his fetishization of everything magic very well.
>>223954046He was onto Tom from the beginning.Why didn't he kill him when he was a teenager? Because fuck you, that's why.
>>223954083Dumbledore claimed Voldemort went for the locket, cup, and diadem because those were relics of the Hogwarts founders, and while Voldemort felt no attachment for people, he felt one for Hogwarts being the place that welcomed him and taught him magic. The snake is anyone's guess idk.
>>223954090>the soul that got attached to Harry must've split from Lily's deathI believe that's canon, yes. I don't think he would have been preparing a Horcrux for it at that point, though, since he probably wanted to use baby Harry to make his 6th Horcrux (7th soul piece) as his way of flipping prophecy the bird. I think he only found Nagini and made her a Horcrux after his initial death (unaware that Harry was already Horcrux #6), so it's unclear what super special significant object he was planning on using for it initially.
>>223954119>could've used myrtle's panties or literally anything on campus grounds>stole some fuck ass ocarina of time heirlooms insteadwhew
>>223954141Harry was an 8th and an accident. Voldemort didnt even realize, ever, that it happened. He was completely confused that Harry survived when he was brought to him in Deathly Hallows. I don't think he ever even found out at all. Iirc someone said Voldemort's soul was so unstable from being split so many times he wasn't really human anymore.
>>223954158>used myrtle's pantiesI bet he did, just not for that. He's certainly got enough poorly repressed race issues to jerk off with a mudblood girl's panties.>Arachnpphobic, huh?Etc.
>>223954046They explain it very well in the books. He dug through Voldemort's past by collecting memories. Profiling his personality and interpreting his actions. Then he visited places Voldemort was known to have been and was able to detect traces of dark magic. He knew Voldemort liked to collect things ever since he was a child.And he only ever found 2 horcruxes. The Ring and the Locket.The ring because it was stored in the house of Voldemort's grandfather who he killed. The locket because it was stored in a cave near the orphanage Voldemort grew up in.And he knew from memories that Voldemort got his hands on Hufflepuff's Cup. From the Locket and the Cup he deduced that Voldemort was after an artifact from each founder of hogwarts. But he never got anything of Griffindors because the sword was his only known relic. (and he forgot about the sorting hat) That left something from Ravenclaw. He probably should have known about the lost Diadem, but he didn't.And he determined the Snake was a horcrux by how unusual it was.
>>223954178Well, yeah, he ended up with 8 soul pieces. Harry was 7th in order and the 6th Horcrux, before Nagini. Voldemort wanted 6 Horcruxes and his own fine-ass self for 7 in total, not 7 Horcruxes.>Diary>Ring>Locket>Cup>Diadem>(Harry)>Nagini
>>223954083The ring was sentimental to Voldemort because it was proof of his lineage to Slytherin.The 3 founders objects were sentimental to Voldemort because Voldemort wanted to be great like them, and he loved Hogwarts the same way Harry did, because it pulled him out of his shitty life as an orphan.The snake is unexplained in the books, but retconned into a weird lady who turns into a snake in Fantastic Beasts. He doesn't turn Nagini into a horcrux until he kills Bertha Jorkins in the 4th book when he's still a weird fetus creature. It seems to have been a creation more of necessity than choice. It was the only horcrux he made after his fall from power.
>>223944391he wanted to be able to check up on them if necessary
>>223945071>"why didn't he just immediately destroy his own horcrux to keep it safe?"
>>223944391Symbolism matters in that world. It has real tangible effects. If you put your soul in a useless rock and throw it away, then that is what you will become.
>>223944391Why didn't Voldemort know Harry was a horcrux if he used Harry's blood in a ritual to create a new body?
>>223954457It's soul magic, not blood magic. And he mutilated his soul so much that we could not even feel anymore when one of his horcruxes was destroyed.
>>223954383No one crazy like Voldy or not would put their soul in a random bit of trash. Its you. Its your soul. You'd find something significant to you personally and put it in that. >>223954027We see exactly what Voldy's soul looks like. It looks like an aborted snake man fetus and its hiding under a bench. It absolutely fucks you up, which is why no one else ever tried to make 7. And it makes no sense to make 7 unless youre crazy and evil like him. As other said you only need 1 to come back repeatedly. The guy was just billy bonkers on a whole other level compared to everyone else. Mind you no one even can tell if you have one by looking at you. Exactly one person knew he even ever inquired about it. So the likelihood anyone would assume you even had one is slim. You could respawn 100 times with 1, he was just that scared of dying. Which goes into everything he does. After Dumbledore died he did not actually need the Elder Wand. No one could 1v1 his ass but he still obsessively needed it for no reason.
>>223954578>As other said you only need 1 to come back repeatedly.True, but the only wizard known to have made a horcrux before Voldy only made one but was caught and said horcrux was disposed. With how paranoid Voldy was, it's understand why he never settled with one. Seven is outrageous though, I agree.
>>223944391Why didn't he make 67 horcruxes instead of just 7?
>>223945168Yes anon, the person who became a billionaire by writing some of the most successful novels on the planet is illiterate and incompetent. You are so very smart.Trust me, I hate Rowling as much as the next sane person. But she is anything but incompetent.
>>223954691>the only wizard known to have made a horcrux before Voldy only made one but was caught and said horcrux was disposedQRD? I recall Harpo the Foul (whom we know best from video game collector cards) being named as having made a Horcrux in one of her out of context "lore" brainfarts but I'm not sure if I'm remembering that right.If not, was it Koschei the Deathless? I don't know if he's canon as a wizard in HP but since the modern concept of souljar liches draws so heavily from him it would be obvious.
>>223944391could he just launch it into space with his wizzard powers.
>A mothers love is so powerful it can save her child from the most abject evil, nomatter how powerfulIt's so cheesy but considering how cynical everything else is, how anti-natal and anti-motherhood, it's actually just beautiful now. I simply can't see this type of motherlyness in modern women.. lmao. JK Rowling is by no means perfect but compared to her underlings, oof.
>>223944391Why didn't he just make a neutronium golem his Horcrux?
>>223944391>ctrl+f barty crouch>zero resultsdead internet theory
>>223955210The movie fucked with this by making him magically aware whenever one was destroyed, but in the books he wasn’t, and had to physically visit them to see if they were intact. So space isn’t viable
The only thing I didn't get is, it makes it seem like all you need to do to create a horcrux is to murder. Shouldn't tons of people have tons of themPresumably you need to do more than that but the movie doesn't elaborate more, even though there's like a whole movie dedicated to exactly this stuff.Doesn't really matter, they just never even really imply there's more from what I remember, at least in the movies
I'm writing a fanfic about Bin Laden working with a group of dark wizards and the 9/11 attacks being a double attack on both muggles and wizards in america (and the magic UN).of course people in the deep state know that wizards exist so they work with them to fight back.they learn that one of the UK death eater who escaped somehow gave the secret of the horcrux to that mysterious group and they turned it into a sort of hivemind/soul merging spell that make them very powerful and hard to kill.their goal is to become a living Allah and reign over the world. so first they need to take down Iran and SA.at first the magic mossad helps them secretly but it goes bad for them so they go cry for help to the magic cia.Potter and Malfoid are recruited by the magic CIA as consultants to find the death eater that they know.ton of fighting, all sort of monsters in caves, entire villages being used for mass sacrifices etc... political intrigue with russian wizards helping the dark wizards.by the end they beat the dark wizards but the secret of the horcrux potential is out and a new magic cold war is starting

>>223955253the movies omit a ton, especially when it comes to Voldemort. Murder only wounds the soul, a spell cuts a chunk out and makes a Horcrux. It was only Voldemort’s incredibly weak and fragmented soul that could accidentally make one.
Never expect the exceptionally stricken autist to understand human flaws, despite their own, of which they are tragically blind.
>>223955295no because the sun is actually the spirit of a dead wizard name solanius and hed send it backnext question
>>223955300I don't fully understand. Which is why I came to you. I don't understand how that worksCould one.. make seven?
>>223955253The process isnt just murder its murder+whatever voldemort learned in the restricted section. Only a few people even know the incantation or whatever was necessary exists, or horcruxes at all. Slughorn knew, and probably Dumbledore and Snape, but at the time Voldemort was alive, that was about it. And none of them who knew aee even confirmed to know how to do it.
>>223955354Merlin's Beard, anon. Isn't it bad enough to have one proxy? To be banned 7 times....
>>223949859this. It’s as if everyone has completely forgotten what Horcruxes are actually for.
>>223955249In the movie he only starts feeling the destroyed Horcruxes by the time has about half of them left, he doesn’t even know that they're after them until after they break out of Gringott with the cup.The implication being each destroyed horcruxes bring him closer to mortality again.
>>223944391Why didn't he move on with his life? Why was he obsessed with killing Harold?
>Professor Janny, I was on the board the other day, a pink board, and I read something rather odd about a rare meme. It's called, as I understand it...a Proxy.>I beg your pardon?>Proxies. I came across the term while scrolling and I didn't fully understand it.>I'm not sure what catalog you were scrolling, anon, but this is very dark stuff. Very dark indeed.>Which is why I came to you.>...A proxy...is a server in which a person has concealed their IP.>But I don't understand how that works, Professor Janny.>One obscures one's IP and hides it. By doing so, you are protected, should you be banned and unable to post on the board.>Protected?>your IP is hidden and lives on. In other words...you cannot be banned.>And why would an anon consider a proxy? >I think you already know the answer to that, anon.>Shitposting.>....Yes. Shitposting rips the board apart. It's a violation against the TOS.>Can you only have one proxy? For instance, isn't seven...>Seven?! Moot's penis, anon! Isn't it bad enough to consider shitposting once? To shitpost seven times... This is all hypothetical, isn't it, anon? All academic?>Of course, Professor Janny. It'll be our little secret...
>>223955477The whole Death Eater gig was reputation based. The most badass wizards get the top positions. Being defeated by a baby and then again by a pre-pubescent boy kind of fucked with his reputation as the biggest baddest dark wizard around.
>>223945013>the one exception to this was his diaryThe diary was the proof that he was the heir of Slytherin.
>>223949168It’s French for “fly from death”
i understand hiding a bunch of the horcruxesbut why didn't he keep that fucking ring on him at all times?yeah he didn't have it during the time he was a weird force ghost or whatever but why was that not a priority for him to get once he came back?
>>223956053>carry Horcrux around on your person>die>whoever took you down finds the artifact positively reeking of dark magic and destroys that shit ASAFPI don't think you're really getting the point of why he wanted to make Horcruxes in the first place.Anyway, it was useless to him as the Resurrection Stone, because he was legitimately a psychopath from childhood and there's no dead loved ones he wanted to see. Even when he searches out his family history it's nothing to do with loving his dead mom (although he always thought his father was the wizard) and everything to do with his own aggrandizement by way of pedigree.
>>223956127he made 6 morekeeping one on his person just so he knows that at least one is absolutely safe would just be common sensethe fear of dying bit is redundant because he thought he was better than everyone and immediately fled when he was outclassed (in the books at least, no idea why the movies had him go so well against dumbledore)
>>223944391it wasnt about living forever it was about his ego hence why he was horcruxing rare artefacts
>>223956053>>223956181Nagini is essentially this
>>223944391Why didn't Voldemort just bury Harry up his ass?
>known fraud makes a prophecy>while in the middle of a job interview for a divination position>Voldemort takes this seriously instead of dismissing as Sybil hamming it up in hopes of getting hired Of course the prophecy was real, but you gotta admit it was a real boy cries wolf situation.
>murder already splits your soul>making it into a horcrux just moves a piece into it>people avada kedavaraing everyone are just fine
>>223955595Lol
Why did he turn an asian lady into a horcrux?
>>223956730Because Tom Riddle was a libertarian guy with an asian wife.
I believe the object has to be something related to him in order to work
>>223945071They should have just wrote it like advent children. As long as Harry remembers the trauma Voldemort can't die.
>>223944391Because he's a vain asshole who thinks he knows and is right about everything, the keyword being vain. Someone like him was never going to use his brain to consider the possibility that his trick would get figured out much less countered
>>223956211yeah but nagini has the problem of being sentient and thus wandering offalso what happens as she ages and dies?i'm sure the soul magic keeps her alive for longer but she's still a living thing and will eventually die of old age if nothing else
>>223957701She probably stays alive as long as Voldemort's soul fragment lives on. It does seem pretty short-sighted of him but after all maybe after 20 years of being surrounded by incompetent "purebloods" he wanted ONE servant he could fully trust (besides Snape)
>>223955260>magic CIA is the good guysno thanks
>>223944391The subplot of Harry and Dumbledor going through various memories in Half-Blood Prince was supposed to answer that, Voldemort wanted to make his horcruxes out of things that had great significance to him or belonged to the great wizards like founders of Hogwarts, retarded filmmakers cut it to cram in more retarded teenage drama.
>>223945071He wanted to be all dramatic and shit, remember that whole cave where you had to sacrifice your blood to enter then drink an entire goblet of magic acid and then when you crawl to the water to quench your unbearable thirst the spooky underwater zombies drag you down. He wanted to fuck with people.
>>223958045God i hate Yates and Kloves.
>>223944391>>223944956>>223945012transphobic bigots like JK Rowling don't know how to write a coherent plot.
Wasn't Voldemort a mudblood?Why didn't he make his horcruxes some mundane muggle objects?
dude, what if I put my power in a special item so that my power wont diminish if my body dieswhat an original idea!
>>223949168>>223955989Isn't it based on Waldemar too?
Why didn't Voldemort just use a gun?
>>223958282Koschei the Deathless wants his copyright back
>>223954282IIRC, the snake was simply a pragmatic move, it was one Horcrux that wasn't just sitting around somewhere, but always by his side, allowing him to keep an eye on it just in case and escape with it if push comes to shove.
>>223945071Because there are giant fuckass magic monsters in the ocean and Voldy isn't going to risk his soul getting devoured by Dagon
>>223955224This. There is a Canadian book series called Les Chevaliers D'Emeraude (The Knights of Emerald), which is a fun classical fantasy of knights fighting against an irredeemably evil threat of insect-men invaders, and a remarkable part is that there are dozens upon dozens of characters. Every single woman in this series loves men and wants children, even the one who acts like a strong independent woman you can't say no to, eventually finds a peasant boy with powers, thinks "I want him" and almost forces herself on him having hot steamy tomboy sex all night and wanting his children. It's one of the most pro-families, pro-motherhood books I've ever encountered.
>>223958492It was set in the UK
>>223958492No but seriously something like this could have been a plot elementHarry takes his muggle grandfather's WW2 Webley service revolver, in its box with six cartridgesUses it to shoot down six death eaters at the climaxYou could make a big thing out of how loud and powerful and terrifying it is to the collected wizardsBut Voldmort, being a half-blood, knows that six bullets is all it carries and now it's empty
>>223953216The horcruxes are all seperate and have their own agenda. The Diary was sapping Ginny's lifeforce or something and was giving the 1/7 of Tom enough strength to materialise so maybe if they all had enough time they could each spawn a working soul clone of Voldy for each Horcrux
>>223945305except it's way more useful than the ring since it doesn't kill you the moment it's destroyed
>>223958802I always wondered what would've happened if tom pulled it off. would he try to resurrect the "original" self? would he even consider him "self"? or he would be already "self" and there would be no one else to resurrect? what would happen if pettygrew resurrected original voldie, would they team up?
Criminals always want to make a game of it. They love getting people in a bind and watching them connect the dots together. It's why they're so often caught
>>223958907If the diary soul regained a human body, it would probably try and absorb the ghost Voldemort or maybe the ghost Voldemort would intentionally try and merge with it back into one. Either way ending up with one teenage Tom with old Voldemort's memories and experienceIf Voldemort already had his new body they would probably join forces. Tom seemed like the type who respected elder dark wizards and Voldemort would love having a younger version of himself around to teach dark magic
>>223958765This.
>>223955260I might read this
Did you guys see the US government made Malfoid canon?
If Voldermort was smart, he would have made Horcruxes out of random trash that has nothing to do with him and just let them dormant.
>>223958928>I'm a retard that gets his info about the world from retarded TV slopThat's not how it works irl ffs
>>223958212No one asked your opinion, filthy tranny.
I don't like Harry Potter but I'm still shocked no one alluded to 'soul corruption' as an answer when on the topic of horcruxes. Your soul cannot be immortal, it's still twisted and damaged through your actions.See Dante/Fullmetal Alchemist.No I don't browse /a/, and I never saw Brotherhood. I just watched it when it came out 20 years ago and still listen to the OST when my library is on shuffle.
>>223954083The diary was left specifically as a weapon to reopen the chamber of secrets one day. It wasn't meant to be protected the same way as the other horcruxes. Dumbledore explains this at length in book 6. Lucius secretly gives it to Ginny as a means to help himself, not you know who. Lucius wanted the mudbloods/Dumbledore gone to advance his own goals which is why he who must not be named was so mad at him and basically told Draco that if he doesn't kill Dumbledore he'll kill his whole family.
>>223948753Yeah pretty much. That's why he almost completely disappears and gives up before he rapes Quirrel. He was barely existing in the mountains of Romania or some shit before that happens
>>223944391Pride
>>223955260If you're going to write about a fictional version of deep state stuff, you have to first understand what actually happened there.That 9/11 is like operation Northwoods, an obvious false flag when you break free from media programming. Itself a mass sacrifice of a village if you will.
>>223958797It's not an american story, where the gun is a symbol of liberation. In the UK, a gun is a symbol of an american.
