A Lesson in the Life of a Shy/Insecure Girl: In My Experience
- Eating in public can make you selfconscious. Especially when the food is known to be suggestive
- Constantly worrying that you look fat even though you know you don’t
- *makes a suggestive joke towards someone, making everyone laugh* **face turns red** “I can’t believe I actually said that.”
- Selfies? Not unless there’s something to un-weird my face
- Sometimes showing shoulders and legs make you feel uncomfortable and on display
- “This (article of clothing) is nice, but it would draw way too much attention.” *wears it anyway* “Oh God, they must be judging me so much right now.”
- If someone compliments you, you go full denial mode because it just confirms that people notice you
- Talking in front of people can be a bit rough, but not impossible
BUT ALSO
- You can think you look pretty
- You can (and most likely will) still dance and sing around your house
- You will still have days of mega confidence where you just won’t care, then get all embarrassed about it the next day
- You will have certain people that bring out the confident side of you, which is generally your closest friendos
- You won’t ALWAYS get all red and embarrassed when someone you like makes flirty jokes
- You can still laugh at yourself when you do something embarrassing or stupid
This is true for shy guys too, not just shy girls
Of course! I wasn’t trying to be exclusive. I apologize if it came across that way

Ron is not only my best friend, he is my family too. I am glad you two are finally together. but if you ever hurt him, u have to deal with me. Don’t forget.
-Harry to Hermione at some point after the war.
Drama in the HP fandom! Eyebrows posted two pictures with Felton and the Dr*mione/F*ltson crowd lost it. They’re seeing it as “proof” that their ship is real. I’m pretty sure there’s going to be a Dr*rry vs Dr*mione ship war. Anyway, am I the only one who feels like this is a cheap publicity stunt because I don’t think EW congratulates her costars that much. I don’t think she’s that close with her HP stars so why is she acting like they’re BFFs all of a sudden? Maybe I’m missing something :/
Beats me. I don’t really care either way. I’m not going to get involved in fandom wars (as many of my followers will no doubt be aware). I personally don’t like Dramione as a ship, and I stopped shipping Drarry a long while ago (and, even then, it was just in AU fics with a OC called Draco Malfoy).
Since I’ve got involved in the HP fandom, I’ve always been a little suspicious of when Emma Watson posts photos of herself with her former co-stars. Maybe this is just me being jaded, but it does seem a bit like a publicity stunt to me. Although that’s just my personal opinion.
I remember the last time they met; some people who shipped her with Tom Felton ended up sending online hate to Felton’s then-girlfriend (who he later ended up splitting with, possibly due to the online hate). As such, I find it troubling that sections of the HP fandom are like that.
I mentioned this in that thread I posted the other day, but I think that Emma Watson isn’t that close with most of her former co-stars nowadays. Maybe it’s the geographic distance or the different work schedules?
I suppose they could be close friends, but don’t broadcast the fact due to the fan backlash against Tom’s girlfriend that happened last time. I don’t blame them for being quiet about it.
I tend to stay clear of this kind of thing in general. I like it when the other cast members meet up (usually Rupert and Evanna, as well as Bonnie, Matt, Tom and the Phelps twins) since I find their personalities quite friendly. I don’t tend to follow what Emma Watson is doing since I personally find her personality a little grating (and possibly disingenuous, but that’s probably just me).
Thanks for the message, @ronandhappiness.
I don’t know. I’m very suspicious rn. Tom’s new YT series is going to be launched in a week or so and suddenly Emma and Tom are skating together and taking pictures? It’s fishy.
I also find it confusing that Dr*mione shippers have to rely on a F*ltson picture to rise again. (And then they wonder why we accuse them of only liking Emma/Tom.) I like to think that Romione shippers don’t have to rely on a Gr*ntson pic to love our ship. It’s because we actually like our ship. We like Ron and Hermione together. We don’t like the actors together. It’s sad that some ship fandoms can’t tell the difference between two actors and two characters.
That does seem rather coincidental, doesn’t it…
Oh, well. I suppose publicity is something that a lot of actors have to do nowadays. Gotta get trending, and all that. That’s what the kids say nowadays, right? I’m so old…
I’ve always been confused by that too. If anything, Romione shippers tend to distance themselves from the films as much as possible (understandable, considering what the films did to Ron and the Romione pairing). I personally find the Rupert and Emma ship quite uncomfortable. Like, I know they had good chemistry on-screen (when they were allowed to show it) and (from what @pynkihas mentioned on threads in the past) Emma might have had a crush on Rupert during the later films, but I don’t want to conflate the actors with the characters. The idea of it just makes me uncomfortable.
I don’t want to get into a fandom war over this, of course (not my thing).
It’s not coincidental at all. She literally congratulated him in her caption. Not that shippers care of course.
Yeah, definitely. At this point, the only fans left who care about Ron/Hermione are book fans who dislike the movies. (I’m not counting those gullible preteens on IG who are still stuck in their Grinston stage.) As for whether Emma had a crush on Rupert or vice versa, that’s nobody’s business, and I find it hard to be interested in Watson’s love life.
Even I don’t want to start a war. I just wanted to rant about this so thank you for listening to me ^_^
Just a warning to Feltson/Dramione/Tom Felton/Emma Watson fans: this is a conversation between HM and me. I’m not interested in debating this with any of you guys. Go away.
Good point. I suppose shippers will ship regardless of anything else.
That’s very true. Most Romione shippers I know prefer the books to the films. I’m not really on much social media, so I wouldn’t know about those shippers myself. And that is very true; it’s really no-one’s business as to what went on (although I personally find the idea funny that not even the apparently-perfect Emma Watson was immune to the charms of The Grint. Probably just me, though).
No problem; one of my favourite things on Tumblr to hear (or read about) your thoughts on stuff like this. 🙂
I would also like to re-iterate that I don’t have any interest in starting fandom wars over this. I try to keep my blog as positive as possible, and I don’t want to get into long arguments with people over things like this.

OH MY GOD IT WASN’T EVEN A PICTURE. One was a picture and the other was a flipping video of them skating together. OH my God I’m laughing. I knew Tom was desperate but this is too much 😂😂😂
Tom Felton’s desperate? I thought he was just chilling nowadays and appearing in ‘The Flash’. I’ve always thought that he came across a quite a nice bloke.
Maybe that’s just me, though.
I’m not really bothered much about this, since I find Emma Watson a little annoying. I usually stick to the ‘Rupert Grint and Evanna Lynch are pretty cool people’ side of things.
Thanks for the message, @ronandhappiness.
I’d be angry with Rupert too if he started using Emma to promote his projects, but I believe that Rupert is better than that. He has moved on from HP. Tom should move on as well.
I personally don’t think Rupert’s that much into the publicity side of things. He seems to be more into the acting side of it (not to mention the fact that he doesn’t even use social media). Sometimes, I don’t think Rupert Grint even realises he’s a celebrity, and keeps wondering why everyone asks him for selfies.
It is what it is, I suppose. I personally don’t mind Tom Felton, but it does seem a little odd that he’d do this, especially considering what happened last time he met up with Emma Watson (which resulted in his then-girlfriend getting hate mail from people who shipped Tom with Emma).
I don’t know if Tom and Emma are genuinely good friends or not (they never seemed like it before, and all of sudden they’re ‘close’) but people are calling him desperate because they think he’s using this to promote his show(loads of actors does this, I know, but he could have done it with someone of the cast who he was always close with, not Emma to satisfy the shippers). Maybe it’s because it could help them both since dramione shippers are always desperate to such things
Interesting points, I have heard that actor’s often have to do a lot to promote their shows/films/etc nowadays, so that wouldn’t surprise me. It is a little odd that he didn’t just meet up with another former HP cast member (he’s apparently quite close with Rupert and Matthew), but I suppose that they aren’t so well-known in the USA, so maybe that’s why.
Like I’ve said in the past, I try to avoid these types of fandom things, since I tend to avoid stuff related to Emma Watson due to my dislike of her acting (as well as the fact that I personally think she comes across as disingenuous a lot of the time).
I don’t want to get into fandom wars over ships, so I’ll just leave it at that.
Thanks for the message, anon.

nothing confirms that confidence makes a person more attractive than me than the fact I always used to think Jameela Jamil was pretty when she was on E4 but since watching her on The Good Place as Tahani and I am beyond attracted to her
Same.
