Re: Secrets you don't want to make...

Anon, I think it sort of depends where in fandom you're hanging out which way opinions of Percy run. Because I found some very solid fanfiction back in the day that would agree with you entirely. I suspect it's been too long for me to be able to find those stories again, or I would try.

But yeah - as a kid, "I could make more money and get more respect, I just don't want to" seemed like an unloving attitude for someone who had seven children, all of whom were shamed for being poor, made do with inadequate school supplies, and were pressured by their family to just suck it up. If it wasn't sheer posturing on Arthur's part, because he very much struck me as a mediocre bungler. And the whole interpersonal dynamic in that family seemed very repellent to me, like no one had any privacy and they were always in each other's way.

When the others took potshots at Percy, generally they were the ones who wound up looking petty to me. I think the story just took advantage of the fact that a lot of people don't want to empathize with an aspiring bureaucrat or a jobsworth.

With what we know now about her Terfyness, it shouldn't surprise us she hates people that just want to keep their heads down and get on in life without being bullied by assholes. Making them the heels of the story is very on brand for Mister Galbraith.
