Irish character who’s obsessed with whiskey and explosives.
If you try to talk about Seamus, I don’t remember him making explosions intentionally. Obsession requires intention. Same with Lockheart’s explosion in second book.
Christ, what a bunch of contrived bollocks. Who’s the irish guy with the whiskey? Seamus? I don’t even know if he mentions it once. And his spells blowing up is just the films.
It’s not so much that he’s INTO blowing things up, more so that his spell work is often atrocious enough that things just explode.
I actually have a headcanon to explain this. We can sort of weakly infer that magic is influenced by the caster as well as just the incantation. Lily did a lot of stuff with flowers (even before she could control it properly), Hermione’s magic is always particularly detailed, Ginny seems to have a penchant for nasty hexes, Lockhart is inexplicably good at memory charms. Maybe something about Seamus’ magic just naturally gravitates towards exploding?
Never have I identified with Seamus as much as I do now
Big time:

So also add speciesism?

What’s the skinwalker thing from?

That all seems very weak.
