thoughts on Ginny and Harry as a couple?

There are a lot of people who find their romance in HBP forced. I don't think it's forced so much as underwritten, and the books don't get the chemistry quite right (though the movies certainly don't, either). There's potential, but they just don't get enough actual scenes of substance (besides Harry thinking she's pretty or feeling jealous of Dean) for a lot of readers to buy that they're not only in love, but deeply enough in love to break up, get back together, and wind up married.

That's not to say I don't see the appeal. There's a very cool scene in Book 5 where Harry's doing a woe-is-me-Chosen-One act, and Ginny effortlessly puts him in his place about it by reminding him that she was possessed by Voldemort at eleven, which is a rare glimpse into her character and also a great synecdoche for their relationship — Ginny is a grounding presence who, like Ron and Hermione, isn't going to be awed by his past adventures because she knew him before they happened. In that respect, Ginny's probably one of the few women Harry could feasibly wind up with, because he only ever seems comfortable around people (let alone girls) who can see past the Chosen-One schtick and treat him like a normo (see: Ron, Hermione, the Weasleys, Luna, Hagrid). True to type, he doesn't get interested in Ginny at all until she's ditched her celebrity crush and ceased to view him as an idol, because in his heart of hearts, Harry wants to be a normal boy, and it's stressed over and over that part of what he likes about his relationship with Ginny is how normal it feels. He kind of has a horribly supercharged version the celebrity dating problem: after the Battle of Hogwarts, anyone he meets is going to know him first as Harry Potter, Chosen One, Boy Who Lived, and Actually Fucking Resurrected Messiah of the Wizarding World, which is... I mean, it's possible that there are witches out there who could get over that, but Harry's not an extroverted guy, and I'm not sure how he'd go about finding them. Ginny's the one who's been there since the beginning, doesn't need anything about him or his past explained to her, and actually likes him for who he is.

When you look at it that way, it's not surprising he married his high school girlfriend. She's one of the few people still alive who doesn't see him as a demigod.

#in general I was never one to ship harry with anybody #what I wanted for him was a long quiet life and plenty of therapy #maybe some dogs. i think harry needs dogs and deserves them #The other obvious solution ftr — though not one I think Harry would take — is for him to marry a muggle #though again. you'd run into the problem of how you explain All That #which harry doesn't like to talk about and probably would want to talk about even less as an adult #plus also: harry loves magic. like he loves it loves it #the muggle world for harry is permanently connected with the dursleys and it would take years to break that association #which I just don't think he's going to invest #Harry post-BOH is moving to Hogsmeade or wizarding London or some other magical neighborhood and staying there forever #by the way this post is not anti Harry and Ginny! no hate on the ship I've seen versions of it that are very cute #but I just think their love story needed Sauce #there are also some really interesting posts I've found in Deep Fandom crackship blogs about h/g as Harry's sublimated desire for Ron #now I don't necessarily buy that reading. I don't think Harry is in love with Ron in the original text #I do think he LOVES ron and projects that love onto the Weasleys very quickly ginny included #and I think Ron is his soulmate platonic or otherwise in every universe #so marrying Ginny has like. Implications. vis-a-vis Harry's status as a Weasley and adoptive brother[in law] of Ron #like it's a full-circle moment where he becomes officially legally a member of Ron's family #which I do believe JKR had in mind. even though that basically means ginny's wedding becomes kinda... actually... about her brother... #it's weird basically. my final verdict is I wish H/G had been written by an author who was more interested in Ginny for Ginny's sake. #greenteacup asks

Day off gardening with the husband.

#welcome home #welcome home fanart #frank frankly #eddie dear #eddie x frank #frank x eddie #They're both content to garden and relax. Eddie's the best with plants but Frank has more technical knowledge #Between them both they have the best garden in the neighborhood #While Eddie loves to help all his friends he tends to spend most of his time with a certain grumpy bug enthusiast #They'll talk to each other for hours while picking weeds and watering. #Or else just stay quiet...in the most comfortable and happy kind of quiet you get from being with someone you love #I once grew a tomato plant in a home depot bucket and I didn't expect it to work. You get a lot of fkin tomatoes from a single plant actual #Unaffiliated with the incredible Welcome Home creation I'm just a fan having fun!

#curious because my neighborhood has been quiet for years

[proton-wobbler]

When the scrub-jays come back into town from the mountains and start screaming at your new neighbor

#great-horned owl #a fucking treat!! i thought i heard one a few days ago but its been quiet ever since. and the neighbor has halloween decorations #but for real this isnt weird for the area its just a major treat #albuquerque is weird about where there are enough trees for GHOW and this is a nice (old) neighborhood #the scrub jay feels more wild honestly. my friend has only had two in the yard before but it was last winter #i guesd they like this neighborhood too

[rayroseu]

context: i live in the philippines-

some terrifying thundershow has been going on in the 3am nightsky here at my place and its honestly igniting my anxiety that we might get power outage and/or internet disruption over it so to cope each time they struck—😀🌩🌩 "Oh my god... just like Tsunotaro from Twisted Wonderland-"

coping w the weather by brainrotting about this is how the average citizen of twst reacts to malleus throwing a tantrum JSKAKA

#honeslty the rain is quiet now but earlier it was so much worse lol im glad there wasnt too much flooding here in my neighborhood 😭 #malleus draconia #twst #lian notes

[stinkrascal]

when you ask gale if hes okay with adding a third to yalls relationship and hes like “what? like a CHILD? idk if im father material, we arent even settled down yet 🥺” what if i died

#hes sooooooo hessss SOOOOOOOOO #i didnt do this in malthea’s save i just saw the clip on tiktok #mally is definitely veryyyy monogamous so im glad i saw it on tiktok bc i wouldnt have seen it otherwise #gale would make a good dad btw 🥺 #whenever i install ts4 again i think im gonna make a new personal gp save with all my bg3 ocs and their love interests #and i’ll make them live in the same neighborhood where theyre all besties living nice quiet lives lol #gale will make a nice dad in ts4 😚

me: okay so this sunday/Monday I'll do all the stuff I've been skipping the past weeks

the power: *goes off*

#something broke so I've had no power for almost 48 hours already 🙃 #my mom took my phone to work with her just to charge it and it was a humbling experience #side note: don't date someone who lives in your neighborhood it's useless when this stuff happens 🫣 #but yeah I've been quiet because I need to save battery+data 😭 #kyra's ramblings #I've been painting Masema with one of those lamps you can charge but it's awful lighting 😭

okay here we go again……………. third times a charm?

#got a facetime from my realtor at 6pm with a property he thought would be perfect for me #and it is you guys i’ve actually been watching this one for a couple months but it was just out of my price range #apparently they JUST dropped the price like ten minutes ago and it’s just barely within reach as a result #anyway i’m putting an offer in sight unseen #site unseen*?? anyway. #my mom did this 25 years ago (minus the facetime) and i grew up in a home i loved so maybe it’ll work for me too #it’s a piece of history too. 103 years old freshly redone (i know ☹️ flippers 😖) and in a semi-industrial corner of an active neighborhood #so it’s quiet but not secluded #idk i kinda love it wish me luck?????

Apparently someone had called the cops to our address becuz there had been supposed gunshots coming from here. Mind you the only thing that was happening was my sister's kids and the neighbors kids playing in the pool together. Yeah they were loud but like they're kids they're gonna be loud, but nothing that even remotely sounds like a gunshot. Even the other neighbors down the block were just as confused as we were like who thefuck be making up shit

#the cryptid talks #Like this kind of neighborhood you would hear sounds like that all the time but for once it was actually peaceful and quiet #a noise complaint i would've understood but faking a gunshot report tho?? Wtf #i hope that person stubs their toe

Fwiw-- common cold #2 is far more of the sore throat, mild bouts of hacking cough, feeling run down and tired whereas NASTY ASS COLD #1 was a full on Stuffy Head So MUCH FUCKING MUCUS MAKE IT STOP that took 5evah to clear out because so much fucking mucus.

Common cold #2 is at that point where it will either be a brief annoyance and gone in a day or three, or it will decide to blossom into mucus-fucking-hell. Hopefully it won't. It doesn't have that feeling and is mostly a nasty sore throat and full body laziness.

I would like it to clear out soon.

(Have foodie food to omnomnomnom. Very good museums to visit. Clothes shopping to do. Favorite haunts to re-haunt. etc etc. Film to shoot. And so forth)

#at least if I am going to be run down #I am in a familiar place #in a familiar neighborhood #in a familiar and top rated biz hotel (that I have come to for years) #with killer excellent in-room dining 24 hrs of service #and a pillow menu ahahaha--- I ordered all the best pillows for lounging in bed #and million dollar views (literally... weeeps... if only I could have an apartment in this hood) #and if I am feeling up to it: #this complex of buildings at ground floor and 1st floor level #has multiple high end restaurants #plus a very chillax lounge that serves high tea #plus a gym and spa if I ever feel up to it #and two good shopping malls -- one attatched (very posh-- too posh to be honest) #plus a more normal urban mall across the street #so I am not lacking in any sense #also: this biz hotel is so quiet and calming and very relaxing #plus we are stylin it in a multiroom suite with 1.5 baths #lol #so if im gonna be run down #i'm doing it with a level of style above and beyond my actual home #ahahahaha #¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How do you feel today, because is Holiday?

It's a nice and quiet day :) I'm not doing any related activity though. The only relatives I'd have to visit would be my grandparents, but they all rest out of town (and state), so I have the (much needed) day to relax~

#ask ffrogs #since most people took the extended holiday/weekend to travel and leave the city #everything is so calm and quiet #no traffic lots of people biking and a few route changes around my neighborhood to give access to the cemetery
