Maybe this sounds weird but… I sort of feel that one of the reasons people hate Ron so much is because he admitted his mistakes/flaws so often, which, for them, sort of manifested them. I mean… of the Golden Trio, Harry did that too, but not as often as Ron, and he’s more popular. Hermione is more popular than both of them, and her mistakes/flaws were rarely even adressed as such, and to me it seems that that helped her fans not to aknowledge them.

Yes! That’s what I’ve been saying!

People who deem Ron irredeemable and “unworthy” of Hermione (concerning his mistakes), only do it because they are passive readers who lack critical thinking. They need everything to be pointed out to them. They need all the “You’re the brightest witch of your age” and the “You’re amazing, you are” lines for Ron Weasley as well, because it’s impossible for them to love a character unless they’re told to. They’re unable to use their brains, and think outside the box. They bash Ron because his mistakes are acknowledged by the narrative. When Hermione messes up, it’s girl power. When Harry messes up, it’s fine because he has a lot on his plate (although, Harry does get called out when he messes up and sadly, Harry also gets a lot of hate.) When Ron messes up, he gets punished, humiliated, called out, and eventually, learns from his mistakes……which is a blessing in disguise tbh. It’s funny how Ron haters are so quick to point out his less than stellar moments, but forget about his character development. Lol, fuck them. I’d rather have a character who is punished for their mistakes, than a character whose mistakes are glorified.

Think about it. We dislike Umbridge because she gave Harry (and other students) scars. But Hermione? She essentially did the same thing and scarred Marietta as a form of punishment, without informing the DA about the consequences of betrayal. She did the same thing to Ron and “punished” him for going out with Lavender by attacking him with birds and giving him (temporary?) scars and cuts.

So why don’t people consider what Hermione did to the same extent as Umbridge? Oh, yeah. Because Ron didn’t burst into tears whenever Hermione hurt him emotionally or physically. Because people’s actions aren’t measured by the actions themselves but by the victim’s reactions. Because fuck J.K Rowling and her obvious favouritism for Hermione Granger.

Absolutely all of this. And even more so – Ron says so himself. He says when he’s doing something wrong Harry does sometimes. Hermione never does.

Why do people who hate Ron Weasley always throw a temper tantrum when they find somebody who loves him.

Like seriously,every single time someone makes a post talking about how much they love him and how great he is,their’s always that one asshole that’s like ‘This post was created to offend,me,personally’ and they go on a long ass rant on how eviiiiiiiiiil this teenage boy is for being stupid(he’s not,he just hates school),shallow,(Again,teenager and only really in the fourth book but go off i guess)and a gold digger(being sad bc you grew up poor and your friend is rich means you only see them as money now????).

Like,i get that you don’t like him but be normal about it man,jesus christ.

I loved @vivithefolle‘s “Headcanon that Ron sleeps like a cat. Either curled up in a ball of adorableness or sprawled out in all his long-limbed glory.” so I decided to draw some cat Ron xD

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HE’S A CUTIIIIIIIIIIE OH MY GOD

Okay so that “sprawled out in all his long-limbed glory” Ron looks absolutely utterly fantastically HOT. Oh my god just look at him. But that peaceful expression though, he’s such an angel hhhh ❤

Also with that other sketch we get to know why Hermione wants Ron to wear tight jeans. Like, damn, that’s a mighty fine butt. He looks just so adorable with that way-too-big sweater, his nose hidden in his sleeves… Aaaah what an adorable cutie!! I want to pet his hair SO BAD. Or to put his head on my lap, THEN pet his hair. Hhhnngg!!

And the curled up Rons!! Oh my god can he get even MORE adorable – the answer is YES, yes he can! Look at him, looking so innocent and pure and AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I wanna hug him and squish him and never let go <3<3<3

And awww, sleepy Ron probably falling asleep during Binns’ History of Magic lesson in the upper corner…

All in all, you are a gift and those sketches are a gift and goodness golly your Ron is so adorable I love him ;v;

“What are you doing with all those books anyway?” Ron asked, limping back to his bed.

“Just trying to decide which ones to take with us,” said Hermione. “When we’re looking for the Horcruxes.”

“Oh, of course,” said Ron, clapping a hand to his forehead. “I forgot we’ll be hunting down Voldemort in a mobile library.”

The Harry Potter fandom is really strange. People are so quick to point out that a Ravenclaw can be a Ravenclaw and get the worst grades, because there are various types of intelligence, which is great. However, the “every kid is smart in their own way” mentality is applied to everyone but Ron Weasley.

Everything about Ron Weasley is forgotten; his strategic abilities, his emotional intelligence, his sharp wit, his common sense, his knowledge of the wizarding world, his willingness to do the heavy-lifting to repair a relationship, his ability to forgive others when they don’t deserve it, his aptitude for emotional magic, etc. Apparently, Ron getting Es instead of Os in his O.W.Ls or being occasionally lazy about his homework, is equivalent to Ron being a “stupid, useless and illiterate boy who isn’t good enough for the Brilliant Hermione.” Despite the fact that Ron enjoys engaging with Hermione instead of ignoring her, despite the fact that he is happy to call her out on her shit and isn’t afraid of challenging her, the fandom believes that he’s not intellectually compatible with Hermione. Seriously, HP fandom?

Let it be known, that according to the Harry Potter fandom, grades and intelligence don’t matter if you want to be a Ravenclaw. Grades and intelligence only matter if you want to be with Hermione Granger.

Dear HP fandom; don’t be hypocrites. I request you to start treating Ron Weasley the way you treat Ravenclaws. 🙂
