Ron and Hermione don't always share interests, but they like to spend time together even if Ron's discussing Quidditch with Harry, and Hermione is knitting elf clothes and reading. Ron is happy to casually act as Hermione's book stand and make sure her wool doesn't tangle.
This romione sketch is a loveletter to everything I've been missing since trying out a new painterly style: dark lines, my pale pink overlay highlights, and scratchy details
he tried to tell em smh
Oh no I'm so sad there's no sound i really needed to hear that thump
technology related sensory memories from my childhood
sliding the metal cover on floppy disks
the slight resistance of inserting cassette and video tapes
ripping off the strips of holed paper off of dot matrix printer paper
rolling the wheel on a disposable camera to take another photo
The heaviness and rubber texture of the roller ball in a computer mouse, and the little ring of lint
Unkinking the curly cord of a telephone while you talked
The -peww sound and slowly fading image of a crt monitor turning off, and then running your finger through the static on the dusty glass
The crunch of opening or closing a plastic Disney vhs cover
The sound effects in kidpix
Extending and collapsing metal antennas and using them as magic wands
…God, it is so weird these things aren’t around any more. Cause it’s true, the sensations are so distinct. It’s bizarre to think about missing these tiny relics.
The wubwubwub when you shook a 5″ disk back and forth quickly
COMING SOON TO OWN ON VID- jfc where’s the volume button?!?!
Screwing around with the degauss button to make the screen go all wiggly
Unfolding a paper clip to manually eject a disk that was stuck in the computer
the most romantic line in the whole harry potter series is “i have seen your heart and it is mine.” that shit is unbelievably dramatic. it sounds like something out of wuthering heights. it sounds like an agonized confession delivered in a thunderstorm from one conflicted lover to another, acknowledging the way their fatal flaws mirror yet complement each other, a desire to reflect and to perceive and ultimately to forgive. unfortunately, it is also spoken by horcrux locket tom riddle to ron weasley
Hello! I just had the pleasure of reading your big romione meta. So well argued and articulated! It really made me miss the livejournal era of fandom, when meta was a much bigger part of the discourse. Do you have a favourite romione moment? Which ones?
ahhh thank you so much, anon!
i will ride out to war for romione without the slightest provocation at all, so actually having an excuse to talk about them is delightful.
my top romione moment will - of course - always be...
ron using the sight of her empty chair to convince him to face aragog
But Lockhart’s disgusting cheeriness, his hints that he had always thought Hagrid was no good, his confidence that the whole business was now at an end, irritated Harry so much that he yearned to throw Gadding with Ghouls right in Lockhart’s stupid face. Instead he contented himself with scrawling a note to Ron: Let’s do it tonight. Ron read the message, swallowed hard, and looked sideways at the empty seat usually filled by Hermione. The sight seemed to stiffen his resolve, and he nodded.
i just love this! he's facing his greatest fear for her!
and it also sets up the fact that hermione is shown to provide ron with the push it takes for him to step out of his comfort zone in more ordinary ways throughout the series, but - even without this - him being willing to go visit an enormous spider in the middle of the night on the off chance that it might help unravel the mystery of how she's been petrified always gets me.
Greatest Hamlet Summary
EE Cummings' [since feeling is first] is such a fucking bar. holy shit? like:
"my blood approves, and kisses are a better fate than wisdom"
"for life is not a photograph, and death i think no parenthesis"
okay I'm fully in HP mode after a long ass time and got to thinking about how piss poor the planning was in book 7.... like, why didn't Harry just withdraw half the gold in his vault and go stay at hotels around the country or something
A fawn curled up beside a fake deer which is used for target practice.
Please note the calm looking fawn.
It’s mother has most likely used the fake deer as cover for the fawn to sleep near. I’ve personally witnessed a doe direct a fawn to lay in a patch of tall weeds and go lay on a hill where she could see me and the tall patch of weeds. That’s what they do, find something bigger than the fawn to sleep near so they’re hidden while they sleep.
This isn’t a sad child looking for something mother-like, this is a kid getting put to bed.
so the mom just managed to find the most haunting large object behind which to hide a child
@deerstar4 too good to be banished to the tags
Harry hesitated, but after all, Ron had been honest with him, so he told Ron the truth…
one of my absolute favorite bits from the hp books that never made it into the movies. though admittedly, the ootp movie had to rly condense a lot. i think the relationship between harry and ron is super underrated/overlooked - there’s so much love, trust, and support between them in this scene.
me, on a date: so what are your thoughts on ron weasley?
him: I really hate-
me, shoving breadsticks into my purse: uh sorry I gotta blast something urgent just came up-
him: the movies’ inaccurate depiction of him as a lazy, untalented jerk who’s sole purpose is to serve as cheap comic relief
me, slowly lowering myself back into my seat:…I’m listening

They were just teenagers, pls let them rest.
Holy shit this is beautiful
HOW DO PEOPLE NOT LOVE RON WESLEY I WOULD LITERALLY DIE FOR HIM
Alisa Shea, ‘A Feminine Touch’, 2021 Watercolour on paper, 35 x 50cm
What the fuck do you mean watercolour on paper
(Requested by @ii-thiscat-ii, who wanted a breakdown of the quote from Roger on this page.)
Oh, this is a FUN one to break down. The first bit is pretty simple- これらは止めることのできないものだ/korera wa tomerukoto no dekinai mono da pretty straightforwardly means “These are things that cannot be stopped.”
Then there’s the three things he lists, which, in Japanese at least, all have pretty direct reference to events in the story. The first is 受け継がれる意志/uketsugareru ishi. Uketsugareru is ‘to be inherited’ and 意志/ishi is ‘will’- and that’s the same word as used when mentioning the Will of D (Dの意志/D no ishi).
Then the second item, 人の夢/hito no yume, means ‘the dreams of people’ or ‘people’s dreams,’ and is the exact same phrasing used by Blackbeard when he meets Luffy at Jaya and says 人の夢は終わらない/hito no yume wa owaranai (’people’s dreams are unending’).
The third thing is 時代のうねり/jidai no uneri. Jidai is ‘age’ or ‘era,’ and it shows up allll over the place in One Piece- the story is set in the 大海賊時代/daikaizoku jidai, the Great Pirate Age, and both Whitebeard and Blackbeard talk about it at Marineford. And uneri means like ‘meandering’ or ‘undulation.’ I like ‘ebb and flow’ as a translation of this word, actually, but I feel like here specifically something like ‘winding progress’ would be better, since it gives clearer vibes of forward movement/progress.
Next is 人が自由の答えを求める限り/hito ga jiyuu no kotae wo motomeru kagiri. Kagiri means ‘limit,’ and here is like ‘so long as/until…’ Motomeru here is ‘to wish for’ or ‘to seek,’ and jiyuu no kotae is like… “freedom’s answer/response”? It’s a bit weird in English so I think it’s probably fine to just translate that part as ‘freedom,’ but the inclusion of 答え/kotae (’answer’) in the Japanese does call forward a bit to something Dragon himself says later in this chapter, about the world awaiting their answer.
And then it ends with それらは決して止まらない/sorera wa kesshite tomaranai, which is… not translated well here. Tomaru is ‘to stop’ and kesshite is like ‘never/by no means,’ so it should be “These things will never stop.”
So altogether, from the top: “These are things that cannot be stopped: Inherited will. People’s dreams. The winding progression of the ages. So long as people seek (the answer/solution of) freedom, those things will never stop.”
rewatching one piece, and it's wild to recognize stuff that I missed as a kid when it originally came out
