Monday DE: Riddikulus!

[splash_of_blue]

In the Harry Potter books, a boggart is a creature which assumes of who/whatever a person most fears. To dispel it, a person must think of how to make that feared thing silly or amusing - for example, Neville is most afraid of Professor Snape, and uses the spell to put the Boggart-Snape in his grandmother's clothes.

What would be your characters' boggarts? How would they make them ridiculous?

Ahsoka: The Fear, the Ridiculous.

Sabine: The fear would be her as an Imperial. I think the ridiculousness would be that Imperial tagged with paint sticks from the Outer Rim to the Core Worlds.

Ben Hargreeves: For the fear, I'm torn between whatever the creatures are he channels for his tentacles or Klaus dead. I think he'd have a hard time making either of those ridiculous, but the tentacles holding cakes comes to mind, or zombie Klaus with a clown nose.

I'll have to think about my others.

Gaster has already seen his worst fear - i.e., his family dying - many times, so he's become somewhat desensitized to it. His boggart would be darkness - being trapped in the void again, permenantly, forever. He'd change it into the lights going on, in a surprise party.

Urania's would be rejection from her sisters and the other gods, saying she wasn't good or important enough to be considered a real goddess. She'd make it silly by turning them into bunnies, or something like that.

Phoenix would see his loved ones dying, much like Molly Weasley does in the books. This one would be hard to make ridiculous, and honestly, I don't know if he could.

Snufkin would see a starless sky and unfamiliar road, making him completely lost and unable to find Moominvalley again. He'd do something similar to Gaster, and make party streamers fall from the sky.

I mean, any part of life post-EpII his boggart is Padme dying.

It is, in fact, deeply plot relevant that he is incapable of actually defeating that.

(Headcanon? post-OT, Blue Glowy Era, boggart would be having to actually face Leia. Easy to make that ridiculous with admitting it'd be awesome if she kicked his ass.)

For Yamato, it would almost certainly be Takeru dead or dying (or all of his team dead, including Takeru). I don't think there's actually any way he'd be able to make that ridiculous, though.
