Don't Call Her Loony

In case it isn't obvious, Luna Lovegood is my favorite Harry Potter character. Supporter of Roluna (Luna x Rolf) and canon ships in general. If you prefer non-canon ships that's cool too, just don't be rude about it.

Luna Lovegood commentating the Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff Quidditch match and getting carried away and rambling about Ginny and how nice she is and how much she likes her is the cutest thing ever <3

[roluna-forever]

Luna should’ve gotten the commentating job full time.

[roluna-forever]

I know I haven’t posted in a while

But don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten that Luna is awesome.

[harrypotterconfessions]

One thing that pisses me off in fanfiction is when people write Luna as dumb. She’s eccentric and a bit blunt, but she’s not dumb. I mean, she’s a Ravenclaw for crying out loud.

[roluna-forever]

I’ve seen people call her dim witted before and I just don’t get it. Yes she has some odd beliefs but her intelligence is still demonstrated many times throughout the series.

[roluna-forever]

Rolf thought it would be fun to listen to Luna commentate a Quidditch match, but he didn’t expect her to mention how good he is in bed as part of the commentary.

she loves you so very much 

[roluna-forever]

Wonderful as always! Thanks so much!

[roluna-forever]

When Rolf proposed to Luna she said the wrackspurt in his head must have gone. After all, it was the only reason he hadn’t done so already.

Going on a Blind Date with Luna Lovegood:

Ginny sets it up

you had never met Luna

but you had heard of her 

you two agree to go to the three broomsticks together

you’re both super nervous 

it’s pretty awkward at first

Luna talks a lot when she’s nervous

which actually help you be less so

she makes you smile and laugh 

which makes Luna happy 

you two easily forget others are around you 

she’s so easy to talk to 

puts you at ease

Luna is also a great listener

asks you lots of questions about yourself 

you two talk for hours

once dinner in over you two go for a walk in the moon light 

during the walk Luna takes your hand 

this cause butterflies in your stomach 

once you two make it back to the castle Luna kisses you on the cheek 

she then asks you if you’re like to do it again

of course you agree

that is the beginning of your relationship 

[roluna-forever]

Cute! Thanks so much!

picking flowers together

then making flowers crowns for each other 

going swimming in a near by lake or river 

Luna really loves being in nature

[roluna-forever]

Love this! Thanks so much!

[harrypotterconfessions]

I really wish that we could have gotten a conversation between Dumbledore and Luna Lovegood. I mean, that would have been the most odd and extremely fascinating conversation ever.

[roluna-forever]

I get that the books are told from Harry’s perspective, but this would just be so fascinating to see.

[roluna-forever]

This is too cute!

[littlekittycakes]

People who only watched the movies never knew how arrogant, stubborn and difficult it is to persuade Hermione of things that are unproven - regardless if there are facts surrounding it or even if it makes sense. It was between good and troubling. Her caution and curiosity both saved and endangered them when they were on the run but they never portrayed it like that in the movies.

Just saying.

[roluna-forever]

The movies not only make a host of characters less compelling by by transferring their good qualities to Hermione, they also end up making Hermione herself less interesting by removing her flaws.

It really is remarkable how hard it is to convince Hermione of anything that’s not in a schoolbook or some other source she would deem sufficiently authoritative. In that way Luna is right about Hermione, she needs absolute proof to believe anything. I love the way Hermione and Luna see each other’s blind spots without realizing that the other has a point about them. It’s just another bit of characterization that got lost in the transition from books to movies.

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

I honestly headcanon so hard that the reason Ginny and Luna became such good friends was that Luna Lovegood was the only kid in their second year who was willing to go anywhere near “that girl who opened the Chamber of Secrets”.

[roluna-forever]

I like this as it nicely complements the way Ginny is a friend who can accept Luna for who she is. I also like that it goes against the tendency in some of the fandom to see Luna’s friendships as somewhat one-sided.

[roluna-forever]

There’s a lot of reasons to think Rolf must be a wonderful person. For example if he takes after Newt at all.

But really all you need to know is that Luna fell in love with him.

[harrypotterconfessions]

I feel like they didn’t portray Luna’s relationship with the other characters as well in the films as they did in the books. Like for example how Luna had painted all of her friends on the ceiling in her room. (Which I found so sweet but it also made me sad that no one had realised how much she valued them). I didn’t fully understand how close of a friendship they all actually had until I read the books.

[roluna-forever]

Agreed. I like Luna’s portrayal in the films, but you really miss out on so much of her relationships with other characters. I particularly miss her friendship with Ginny, which I found to be one of the most delightful parts of the books and also helps flesh out Ginny’s character.

I get that some of this was simply due to time constraints. There was no way to fit everything from the books in, but it also felt like a lot of it was a side effect of the way the movies tend to favor Hermione in a way that diminishes the characterizations (including that of Hermione!) Why, for example, was Hermione the one to introduce Luna to the group instead of Ginny when there’s no real reason for them to have interacted?

Personally, I like the movies, but I do think characterization is an area where they particularly fell flat in comparison to the books.

[roluna-forever]

I like the thought of Luna and Rolf getting excited together when they finally get a look at some magical creature whose existence had only been a rumor up to that point.

[harrypotterconfessions]

I don’t understand how some people come to the conclusion that the other members of the Golden and Silver Trios didn’t really consider Luna their friend but just felt sorry for her. By DH they all express genuine affection and admiration for her. Not to mention you don’t name your daughter after someone out of pity.

[roluna-forever]

One of the things I love about DH (and to a certain extent HBP) is the way everyone who was generally put off by Luna in OOTP really showing appreciation for her.

Luna and Rolf for the send a ship?

Gives nose/forehead kisses  Rolf for sure! Though Luna occasionally dabbles- but she is more a nuzzler than a kisser 

Gets jealous the most Neither are very prone towards jealousy

Picks the other up from the bar when they’re too drunk to drive Rolf as Luna can’t drive. Though it’s rare she drinks enough for this to be a thing. Ginny nights out.

Takes care of on sick days  Rolf is better at it by far- Luna tries very hard but her cures are all unenjoyable droughts and such.

Drags the other person out into the water on beach day  Depends- usually if one is dragging the other it’s not to swim but because they discovered something cool

Gives unprompted massages both- especially head and forearm massages- since she paints so much and he photographs so much (in my headcanon of him)

Drives/rides shotgun He drives and she rides

Brings the other lunch at work They typically work together and he brings the food- Rolf I imagine as loving to feed people. Luna loves it too but is far too experimental with flavors for most people to like it- though she is great at finding local cuisines.

Has the better parental relationship Rolf - though Luna forgave her dad for trio betrayal it’s never quite the same after that. Rolf gets on great with his family.

Tries to start role-playing in bed Luna 

Embarrassingly drunk dancer Luna for sure- but Rolf is happy to join her in any odd dance

Still cries watching Titanic Rolf

Firmly believes in couples costumes Luna- but he’s an enthusiastic second- ‘Ecologically it just makes sense!’ they’d explain to people about their couples costume that looks very ill-matched indeed.

Breaks the expensive gift rule during Christmas Neither technically spends more money than the limit- though the item itself might be valuable they will have been clever in a way to obtain it

Makes the other eat breakfast Rolf- he’s a fan of a giant german breakfast (i headcanon he was raised in germany and mum is German- thus the name Rolf)

Remembers anniversaries neither are good at dates like that- nor do they find them particularly important.

Brings up having kids Rolf - Luna I can see being a touch trepidatious about parenthood. Her mother died when she was young (in front of her!) her dad she has some issues with, and she’s unsure of how she’d step into such a role. Over time she decides to not let fears dictate her wants- takes her time to figure out what she wants and they make the choice together.

For the Send a ship and I’ll tell you who

[roluna-forever]

Thanks so much!
