the craziest thing about the mixtape is it sets up a precedent, we had no idea dean gave it to him because it didn't happen onscreen, we only knew about it because we saw castiel trying to return it.

so how many other gifts may dean have given castiel that he just kept?? whose gifting or returning wasn't crucial to the main plot and so we didn't get to see??

how many destiel scenes happened offscreen during all those years?? another example of this is them watching tombstone. so many little throwaway lines or moments here and there that basically confirm that for as much insane couple behavior we saw onscreen, there was a whole other level of offscreen insanity going on

do you think cas watches dean and sam bandage themselves up with wrap and band aids when they get hurt after fighting monsters? when cas gets hurt when his grace is failing and he’s covered in cuts from a fight with a demon and little traces of his grace are pouring from those wounds, cas looks at dean and says quietly, “can you patch me up?” while gesturing to the bandages. dean immediately crouches down next to cas and he’s so so so gentle as he wraps cas’ wounds with bandages and puts a little band aid on cas’ cheek where a knife caught him and he murmurs softly, “there. feeling better now, angel?” cas smiles and nods his head, still so close to dean that they’re sharing the same breaths. “much better. thank you, dean.” and from then on, even when cas gets his powers back and he heals quickly, dean will still bandage him up and ask tenderly “feeling better now?” and cas will kiss him in response

its funny how ron was insecure about being unloved when you realize that he was both harry and hermiones favorite person in the world

Come and dance,” he added abruptly to Hermione.

She looked taken aback, but pleased too, and got up. They vanished together into the growing throng on the dance floor.

How do people ship Harry and Hermione even in the movies? I have seen so many people say that in the movies Harmione made sense instead of Romione but how? Hermione is always so comfortable around him and can hold him and hug him without any issue. But even accidentally holding Ron's hands makes her nervous like come on!! Sometimes I think the only reason people ship them is because they are too used to seeing the main male and female characters end up together unlike harry potter. Even in the movies both Ron and Hermione are gonna end up together its so obvious. She notices the dirt on his face the first time they meet, hugs harry in the end of chamber of secrets but cannot do the same with Ron and instead shakes his hand. Then look at their scenes in prisoner of Azkaban (especially their hug). And then them in goblet of fire (Harry does not even care who Hermione is going out with). Also though in the books its shown much better how Ron reacts when Bellatrix is torturing Hermione, but even in the movies when they come out Harry is the one attacking others and Ron is the one who is protecting Hermione. In deathly hallows harry and hermione's dance was supposed to be a sweet moment of one friend comforting another friend (which does not happen in the books because Harry was too miserable himself to comfort anyone else in Ron's absence). Even in that dance just look at Emma, she makes sure that Hermione looks sad even in that dance. She acts such that it appears that Hermione appreciates Harry's efforts to cheer her up but knows that nothing can really make her feel better. Also how can anyone say Rupert and Emma didn't have any chemistry??

It makes more sense for people who have only watched movies to not ship hinny and think Harry should have ended up with Luna (she comforts him multiple times, he takes her as his partner to Slughorn's party, they have so many scenes together compared to hinny etc) but Harmione over Romione makes no sense to me. Ron and Hermione were hinted to be together since the beginning and Harry and Hermione were always presented as friends. Ginny is hardly shown in the movies for people to really have a sense of what she was like (if they had shown her scenes in ootp like the books most people would have understood why hinny made sense and why ginny and harry were meant to be).

i’ve seen relationship therapists and psychologists analyse hermione and ron’s relationship and conclude that they wouldn’t work out in the long run. they’ve argued for hermione to be with harry, krum, even DRACO (don’t understand how a counsellor can vow for canon dramione but alright) as an alternative partner for hermione since ron is “too insecure” to be with her and match her intelligent prowess or what have you.

i seriously don’t understand this sentiment. ron and hermione genuinely seem (almost) perfect to me, maybe not in the movies (a common denominator of people who don’t like romione is that they always cite evidence from the movies, since the films took a lot away from ron’s character and his growth), but definitely in the books.

looking at ron’s insecurities, a lot of people dredge his inferiority complex up to toxic masculinity primarily, when it was more explored how it was an effect of his home life (not gonna argue toxic masculinity wasn’t a factor, they’re teenagers in the 90s written by a pretty misogynistic woman so…). he was the youngest son out of how many children? all of his older brothers were brilliant in some way. bill was an extremely gifted spellcaster, charlie was gifted with magical beasts, percy’s academic score was unmatched, and fred and george (despite their trouble) were entrepreneurial inventor-geniuses. ron, on the other hand, was quite literally born a disappointment to his mother, who conceived him specifically because she wanted a daughter, whilst ginny was born her favourite (though, even then, ginny was gifted at quidditch). ron was mediocre in every sense of the word, and his two best friends were harry (one of the most famous wizards) and hermione (the smartest witch of her age yada yada). and i’ve seen people argue that harry was more welcomed by molly into the weasley household than ron ever was. this isn’t even mentioning the amount of bullshit he copped for being poor (people always downplay the blow to confidence being in poverty can have on a person who is constantly surrounded by people who not only have more, but look down on him for simply being unlucky as to not have what they do).

so yeah, ron was an envious kid, but he was that way not because he was an evil patriarchal conception but because he was lowkey neglected. and even then he was overall an extremely devoted and loyal friend to both harry and hermione, because he did genuinely love them.

there were many moments of ron standing up for hermione that was cut from the films, not as a guy who was romantically interested in her, but as a friend. ron arguing with snape for making hermione cry is one of my fav scenes in the books ru kidding me, and in the movies he AGREED with snape RU KIDDING ME. not to mention how ron was a sobbing violent mess when hermione was getting tortured in the last book, whereas he wasn’t nearly as bothered in the films. and the films cut out harry being a dick to ron about his familial concerns (in dh), so when ron left it seemed like a random dickish move over his jealousy towards harry and hermione’s relationship.

there’s also a million moments where they minimised ron’s usefulness in the books for comedic purposes (forbidden forest with aragog, troll scene, devils snare scene) so ron seems dumber than he is. like, he’s actually smart and a really good spellcaster…. in the books.

so simply by stating this most of the arguments against romione become void. “he’s too stupid/weak for her” simply not true. “he’s a terrible friend who doesn’t stand up for her” also not true. “he’s too insecure to have made a move on her,” yes, but given the context i don’t think people would freak on about ron’s upbringing, i think many would be more understanding, especially considering his growth. even if he wasn’t insecure, hermione is beyond incredible and is bound to make anyone nervous when pursuing her (not an excuse for ron to act like a dick, but it does explain a lot where the movies don’t). “they argue too much” they bump heads, none of the arguments they have are actually super damning, with the exception of ron leaving in deathly hallows.

maybe i’ve covered everything (excluding the abhorrent amount of classism that clouds people’s judgments around how they view ron when harping about how hermione deserves better? hopefully).

now, i know people won’t like me mentioning the cursed child, but i’m going to considering we actually get an insight of their life as a longterm married couple there. a lot of ron stans hated how ron was the only character that wasn’t doing something incredible. harry was head of the aurors, ginny was a famous quidditch player retired to a famous journalist, neville was a hogwarts professor, hermione was quite literally minister on magic. and ron…. ran the joke shop with george.

and i think this was almost the perfect route to go down for ron. because he was average, and was perfectly fine with just being average. hello?? that speaks leagues of growth for his character. he’s supportive of hermione’s work, he grounds her when she gets too caught up in being the literal president of wizarding society, and he still viciously defends her, minister or not. in fact, he’s proud to simply be known as hermione’s husband because he doesn’t feel the need to prove to anyone else his worth. the people he loves most know his worth, hermione never downplays or underestimates him, they are complete equals in the relationship in every single way that matters. they kept ron’s best qualities whilst making him seem more of a healed person. they work so well as a married couple without it seeming like mischaracterisation (not to mention the cursed child literally shows how those two are in love in every reality, so there quite literally can’t be a better partner for hermione or ron according to canon).

so i really don’t understand how professional relationship counsellors can go online and denounce it. probs because they only watched the movies, but it’s 2023 and ron stans should not STILL be fighting for their lives trying to defend him from people who simply don’t consume media with as much depth (which is fine, but one should clarify if they’re talking about the movies because i’ve seen people state they’re talking about the hp BOOKS when it’s simply just…. the films). anyways. romione on top, thanks to coming to my ted talk.
