Can someone recommend a Fic that does the Goblins justice? One where they aren't going to swear Harry their allegiance because he remembers Griphook's name, but they aren't just dismissed as ruthless savages.

 

Fic where they are actual ruthless savages would be awesome.

 

Ain't they quite the cunts in canon already?

 

They're done pretty well in Hogwarts Houses Divided - they're the villains, but there's just enough of a hint of Villain Has a Point to make them interesting.

 

Are there any fics with Goblin rebellions? I remember a couple where there were a side plot with goblins doing a zerg-rush to Diagon Alley (with machine guns, IIRC), but maybe something with a bit more thought?

Goblin rebellions seem like a big deal in the wizarding history, so one would guess that there are fics about them.

 

The only goblin rebellion post wand ban was pretty pitiful. I'm not sure the goblins are capable of another rebellion, not when they are so much weaker in a straight fight, have fewer numbers, and the richest most powerful goblins likely profit immensely off of the current situation.
If Gringotts, one of the only places we ever see goblins, is at all indicative of social structures, I suspect many of the most successful goblin businesses cater almost exclusively to wizards. A rebellion wouldn't really help anyone.

 

Not really, AFAIK. Someone with better canon knowledge might correct me, but they were rude, they were quite active during defense of their territory and one goblin was lying asshole. That's not enough to say they were ruthless savages.

Now, in most fics, their "ruthless savagness" ends with baring their teeth during smiling and being somewhat rude.




Damn, now I really want to see a fic where they are a faction in a power struggle, use dirty methods and act like all around cunts.

 

Goblins can be quite cuntish. See Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, in particular the authors notes at the bottom of the pages.

 

Ah, I haven't read the "bonus" books. Something super interesting (about goblins) in them?

 

I remember the interesting portrayal of Goblin culture in Harry Amidst the Vaults of Stone -

I'm talking about the 7 HP books, not the additional stuff to milk the franchise.

 

In the books they are rude. I don't see much additional "cuntishness" from them so to speak. In the extended canon they do a lot of additional awfulness, but in just the books I don't see it.

 

Enembee's Forests of Valbone had a goblin rebellion taking place which I thought was portrayed well, even if it kind of finished with much of the detail glossed over.
