ok so Ron says he doesn’t like spiders because when he was 3 the twins turned his teddy bear into a spider right? the twins are only 2 years older than Ron, which means they were FIVE YEARS OLD when they did this and I’m just??????? like they were five and they didn’t even have WANDS and they managed to deliberately turn a bear into a spider???? even if they managed to steal a wand from their siblings or parents that’s a really tricky bit of transfiguration and at age five most kids are just doing uncontrolled magic….. like TBH in my opinion Fred and George had more innate talent than the trio combined but they just wanted to chill and do pranks and I respect tf out of that

They INVENTED enough charms and potions to open an entire shop dedicated to them when they were still in their teens. They were quite possibly the most talented young wizards of their time, and instead of using their incredible abilities for good or for evil, they used them for jokes. True chaotic neutral.

Sleep is literally the most pleasurable thing ever why do I deprive myself of it lmao

Are these kids even real???

okay, so you know how they have the whole lineup at the end of episode 8 in season 2 with everyone and their weapons prepping to fight the demodogs?

lucas and his #iconic slingshot protecting his girl, Max

of course hopper has his semi-automatic weapon b/c why not?

steve protecting his son dustin with also #iconic nail bat

And Nancy has a rifle because no one else knows how to use it (and she’s the biggest badass in this entire series)…but WTF IS MIKE DOING?????

WHY DOES HE HAVE A CANDLESTICK OR THE FUCKING GOBLET OF FIRE??? DOES HE THINK HE CAN FIGHT MONSTERS FROM ANOTHER FUCKING DIMENSION WITH A MANTLE DECORATION FROM A PAWN SHOP?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING MY CHILD? THIS ISNT A GAME OF CLUE! PUT THE CANDLESTICK DOWN BEFORE YOU GET HURT. I JUST WANT YOU TO BE SAFE AND YOU’D SOONER HURT YOURSELF THAN ANY DEMODOGS WITH THAT THING. 

Steve Harrington standing in the Byers kitchen with a dish towel on his shoulder and his hands on his hips telling the kids you will stay here and be safe or else is iconic

Hermione attacking Ron with bird was wrong, but Ron did way more; bullyied her, made fun of her intelligence, made fun of her interests, never makes a effort to do things she likes (while she does). Made her feel guilty about kissing Krum, abandoned her and Harry when they needed him. Used her to do his homework. Emotionally abuses her.

Again…there is a HUGE difference between being a dick and being emotionally abusive. Ron was merely a dick, what teenager isn’t?!!!! He didn’t bully her, he was an asshole sometimes. And Hermione wasn’t passive, she gave JUST as good as she got!

I HATE Ron bashing, I mean how does one even fix their lips to say that Ron Weasley of all people is abusive in any type of way?! That he’s a bad or uncaring person in any type of way?!! Ron is literally one of the most loyal friends you can ever have! Ugh, Ron hate and Weasley hate in general just makes me pissed off, if there was one type of hate that was more venomous than Dumbledore hate, it’s Ron hate. And Ron deserves it LESS than Albus, come on now!

Hermione constantly made fun of Ron’s intelligence. Like, remember when Ron became prefect and her reaction was “are you sure it’s not Harry?” and not in the least bit congratulatory? How she didn’t care at all to keep her pet that had repeatedly tried to kill Ron’s in any way contained? I don’t care that it was Pettigrew. She didn’t know that at the time. Hermione was condescending and passive aggressive towards Ron all the time. @thepinkseat-askthemoonbunny is right when she says Hermione gave as good as she got. They bicker and they fight and they hurt each other and they make up and they support each other and most importantly they love each other. That is the beauty of Ron and Hermione’s relationship. It’s not all sunshine and roses. It’s real.

Had to reblog

do u ever just think about the fact that molly weasley saw HARRY POTTER, the boy who defeated voldemort, and went “i’m gonna knit this kid a christmas sweater”

what i love thinking about is in the book ron says he told his mum that harry wasn’t expecting any christmas presents and that’s why she sent him them and knowing ron can be a bit scatty/oblivious he probably didn’t mention it til like two days before christmas so i just like to think of molly sitting up all night knitting harry his sweater and baking him homemade fudge or whatever because she’d be damned if she’d let harry go present-less at christmas

Or maybe Harry is just as dismissive. Like, Ron is dreaming aloud of him mom’s homemade fudge and asks Harry what he wants and Harry shrugs “the Dursley never give me anything, last year I got a half-used eraser” and Ron is like 0_0  because what, no one is going to give a gift to his new best friend? So he takes poor Errol telling Percy it’s an emergency and Percy’s like no! and Ron’s like HARRY NEVER GETS CHRISTMAS GIFTS YOU GIT and Percy’s like Oh. Ok. Write mom. And Ron’s letter is mainly MOM HARRY NEVER GETS CHRISTMAS GIFTS FROM HIS MUGGLES WHAT DO I DO and then it’s December 23 at night and Arthur is ready to go to bed and sees his wife get the yarn and the knitting needles out again and Honey I thought you were done? Did we get another child while I was at work? YES, she answers, furious. Ron’s new friend, little Harry. If I get this done by tomorrow morning I can make a batch of fudge and send Errol back with it. And that’s when Arthur Weasley realized they did get another kid when he wasn’t looking but, honestly, once you went past the five kids mark you stopped counting.

“ Did we get another child while I was at work?” “YES”

Let’s talk about the battle in the Department of Mysteries for a sec. So after the group gets split up, Harry, Hermione and Neville go one way and Ron, Ginny and Luna the other. The next time we see the latter group Ginny’s ankle is busted and Ron’s brain is addled. Luna says that the Death Eaters blew up a planet in the planetarium and hit Ron with some sort of hex.

Let’s take a moment to examine that. If the curse that hit the planet had hit any of the kids, they’d be dead. So the Death Eater probably missed, hit the planet ahead of them, injuring Ginny. But here’s the important part: the one who actually gets hit by the hex? Ron.

Why is this important? Because Ron is consistently described throughout the series as tall. Like, every time Harry sees him after the beginning of summer he’s described as having shot up. Again. On the other hand Ginny is described as “the small one” by Bellatrix Lestrange. But Ron is behind her. I don’t know if you know this but tall people can run really fast. I am not particularly fit but I am tall. And I can pour on the speed when my adrenaline’s up, which I have no doubt was the case for everyone in the Department of Mysteries. But he’s behind her.

Because he did that deliberately. He kept his body between the Death Eaters and the girls. He shielded them from their spells. Because those he cares about are more important to him than his own life.

I don’t know, I just think about this a lot.

Ron is a strategist, and has already shown a willingness to take the hit for the team and be left behind. In any group, I think that’s just his default position; take the hit, buy more time for others to escape. He’s well aware that realistically, someone is going to be hurt. In this case, Luna is creative and smart enough to come up with something out of left field to throw the enemy off. Ginny is small, but she’s an athletic powerhouse who can throw strong hexes. If it comes down to a crunch, Ron knows that the two of them can fight their way out, and he can increase their odds by at least holding off the wave behind them.

Honestly, this is such an important point.

Consistently throughout the series, Ron can be seen being taken out of the action somehow. AND IT IS NEVER BECAUSE HE IS WEAK.

Rather, it’s because Ron is a STRATEGIST, who CARES.

In Philosopher’s Stone, for example. Ron allows himself to be “taken” by the queen, because he knows that he is standing with the Boy-Who-Lived and the Brightest-Witch-Of-Her-Age and Voldy must be stopped and it’s SIMPLE to him. Ron is a strategist, like has been said. It’s a strategic decision - who cares if it puts himself in harm’s way?

In Prisoner of Azkaban, Ron and Harry are faced with the Grim, and what does Ron do? He pushes Harry out of Sirius’ path, in the process allowing the dog to latch onto his outstretched arm and pull him away, breaking his leg as they enter the Willow. This decision is simple too - it’s because Harry Potter means the world to Ron Weasley, and Ron would not hesitate for a moment in putting himself between Harry and danger.

RON IS A STRATEGIST, AND RON CARES.

And when it comes down to it, he never hesitates.

And don’t forget DH:

Where do people who claim Ron is a coward who hides behind his friends get their bullshit from?

the number one argument i hear being used against romione is ‘they’re not intellectually compatible and hermione wouldn’t be satisfied with ron’s mediocrity’ like ?????????? what books have you read????? where are you getting these ideas?????? why are you dismissing someone’s intelligence just because it’s shown in a different way??????? why are you acting like the only way to be intelligent is academically??????? why?????

like there are so many different ways to be intelligent, just because it’s not shown in an academic sense doesn’t mean it doesn’t count. please stop.
