Veela or Metamorphmagus? (Why not both?)

    So as you can see a guy who likes fat chicks would still see normal slim women. The veela charm is better described during the triwizarding tournament as resulting in a trance for the receiving person(or dragon), but also in the second paragraph I quoted.
    I don't think they have any other magic that works for them. The good looks in my opinion have to be genetics.
    So every Veela looks smoking hot (and nearly the same?) and they have got the additional ability to dish out trances.

    That's what I was referring to, Taure. That sense of unearthly beauty. Pure physical beauty alone can't make your skin shine, or your hair fan out without wind. That has to be their magic.

    I would say that a metamorph could, assume the exact level of physical beauty as a veela, but, as has been said, there has to be some magical component to veela, as they are magical creatures.

    A woman who is, for all intents and purposes, physically perfect will evoke the requisite neurological and chemical (and the readily apparent physical) responses in an average male. That would, for both the veela and the identical metamorph, be exactly the same. However, the veela - by virtue of whatever power it is they hold - exerts a magical influence as well, fooling the body into a markedly greater response. People do stupid shit for a beautiful woman, but the level of stupid shit veela make people do (lets jump off of a massive stadium to get to them, yeah?) suggests an influence several orders of magnitude above what a human being, however beautiful she may be, is capable of.



    If somebody likes fat chicks, either A) the veela are in a set form, but the magical effect creats the response regardless, albeit to a marginally lesser degree than in a normal male, or B) the magic also alters the perception of the viewer to make him believe the veela looks like his conception of perfect beauty.

    While I prefer A), note that with choice B) the natural form of the veela would seem to be the bird form, and it is only when the veela shifts magic and concentration from 'attract mate' to 'kill' that a human actually sees it. The Heur ship is actually Harry fucking a big bird.*

    The thing is, the fact that the Veela's presence makes you do stupid shit for them is not what I'd call a bonus.

    A metamorphmagus can achieve the same physical beauty as a Veela. However, a Veela's presence also sends you, in the words of Jack O'Neil, crazy, nuts, insane, bonzo, no longer in possession of one's faculties, 3 fries short of a happy meal, WACKO! Seems to me like that's just another point in the Metamorphmagus' favour.

    I have to choose Metamorphmagus. As Taure stated, Sure Veela are Hot, but they make you loose control of yourself. And it would suck if you were sexing one up and it went all Avian on you>_>.

    Metamorphmagus's can look like whatever human they want, So they can be as hot as they want. And they don't make you go Caveman. Point Metamorphmagus.

    Veela = the anti-boggart. No one knows what a Veela truly looks like...

    On topic: Metamorphmagus ftw, for all the reasons stated above. But like Taure said, she probably has a completely different view on physical beauty.

    Although, with her playful personality, Tonks would probably change into Umbridge as I was climaxing. Or a pig - we know she's into that shit already... ugh.

    Personally, I think you ruined it by your misuse of semi-colons.

    But I agree, the idea is total FAIL.

    I wouldn't say its total fail. He was just trying to make it something it is not, It is a FapFic pure and Simple. The OP wanted it to have a actual plot and storyline, That just doesn't mesh with the idea.
