The Red-headed King

Just a Place for me to gush over how much I love Ron and a safe haven for fellow Ron lovers. I also post about crap I hate in this fandom.

[ron-is-awesome-sauce]

So I’m super late but I just discovered Solstice Muse, a legendary figure in the Ron fandom, deleted alll their fics!!!

( no, I’m not okay.)

If some kind soul could please tell me how to access some archive of Teenage Kicks specifically, I would be so eternally grateful. Grateful enough to give you one of my kidneys even!

[ron-is-awesome-sauce]

Just in case anyone forgot…

I FUCKING LOVE RON WEASLEY!

That will never change.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KING!

Happy Birthday Ron Weasley 👑 (our king!)

Ron Weasley fans are the most resilient people in this fandom. We’ve dealt with so many injustices. We had to deal with Kloves disrespecting both Ron and Rupert. We had to suffer Harmione and Dramione shippers attacking Ron and the Romione ship. We have to tiptoe even to this day in Ron’s own fanfiction tag and we still deal with stupid ass people who will forgive literal abusers and murderers but will hold everything against a teenage boy being a teenage boy.

I can only hope that one day we are rewarded after everything we had to put up with from this fandom.

me: wow I love harry and ron’s friendship :)

them: anyways good thing hermione was there to save both of those dumbasses all those times!!! I mean the Harry Potter series should be renamed hermione granger and every time I saved two idiots from a crisis!!!! XD

me: how did you get in my house

[updatebug]

Not saying the movies did Hermione wrong (which they did) but I love how utterly and completely insensitive Hermione can be in the books. Like literally, in book three: 

Ron: My uncle, my actual blood family member uncle who I knew, clearly cared bout and am named after, saw a magical creature that is said to cause death and died one day later. Cause of death not specified. Could have been natural causes. Could have been hit by a freaking bus for all you know. 

Hermione: Yes, well our good friend harry is clearly not as stupid as those wizards who ‘died of fright’. He isn’t going to die. Your dead uncle is an absolute moron. Go what was coming to him. 

[rons-amortentia]

Yet it’s Ron who had the emotional range of a teaspoon🤡

[cheeseanonioncrisps]

Lavender: My beloved childhood pet died while I was away at boarding school. I’m literally holding the letter in my hand now! It’s just like Professor Trelawny predicted.

Hermione (pulling on Sherlock Holmes hat): Okay, I’m going to need the name, age and cause of death of the rabbit. Stop crying Lavender! I’m trying to prove somebody Wrong!

[updatebug]

Harry: My one non-abusive legal family member who I clearly loved and trusted and cared about immensely was brutality murdered in front of me in a way which is arguably my fault and which I am definitely blaming myself for and still highly traumatised by. 

 Hermione: Just saying. I told that guy to be kinder to his house elf. Did the house-elf represent Sirius’ abusive past, yes. And was Sirius incredibly messed up from spending years in prison trapped in his worst memories and escape, only to be immediately trapped in a house filled with constant reminders of his worst memories, one of which being the house elf spewing the same racist, bigoted, abusive, retoric Sirius had to deal with his entire childhood? Sure. But I told that guy to be nicer to his damn house elf.

Harry: Oh my god, I nearly killed a student with a spell from the potions books! His blood is on my hands and I am riddled with guilt about it and shaken to my core about it. 

Hermione: I won’t say I told you so… BUT I told you that book was bad! And I was right! You can’t stick up for the book now, can you? It’s ridiculous, and not you have a reputation for potions brilliance you don’t deserve, which is the thing that’s most important now to bring up.

[vivithefolle]

Harry: My great mentor Albus Dumbledore who was the one last adult I trusted more than anyone else in this world was murdered in front of me by Severus Snape. Severus Snape who was actually the Half-Blood Prince whose book helped me through the year, even saving my friend’s life. Today is the morning of Dumbledore’s funeral, and I am still reeling with betrayal and grief.

Hermione: Well I told you this book was bad news all along but I won’t tell I told you so, but actually I will because it’s very important to remind you that I WAS RIGHT about that book but I’m not trying to make you feel bad, just that I went and did some research on the side and found out about Snape’s mom which makes me technically right that Eileen Prince had a connection to that book but I’m not trying to tell you to feel bad because it’s Dumbledore’s funeral and you must be feeling horrible right now, but really Harry you’ve gotta admit I was right a little, hm?

[ron-is-awesome-sauce]

Ron: Hey your cat keeps trying to kill my pet that I love and have cared for for years whose already ill and weak. Everytime you bring him around he attacks him which could be stopped if you know, you stop bringing him around.

Hermione: Um what exactly am I supposed to do Ron? Cats chase rats so of course I’m gonna ignore your feelings and keep bringing him near your beloved pet and continue to put said pets life in danger despite you repeatedly asking me not to do so because I can’t change a cats nature. Oh he actually killed your rat, Nah that’s impossible. It couldn’t have been my cat despite him trying to kill your rat multiple times. And if he did well cats eat rats Ron. I don’t know what you want from me.

[incorrect-harry-potter-quotes]

Ron: This is the worst birthday ever!

Harry: Is it because you were poisoned?

Ron: No, it's because it's a little humid-- YES IT'S BECAUSE I WAS POISONED!

[harrypotterconfessions]

I think Fred, George, and Ginny liked Harry more than they liked Ron.

[ron-is-awesome-sauce]

I have mixed feelings on this and I need to weigh in. I get were OP is coming from. On the the one hand, they definitely seemed more openly positive and friendly with Harry, but on the other hand we do see it from Harry’s point of view so it may only seem that way.

As the youngest kid of four siblings, I can say that there were times my sisters treated their friends better than me. I was actually in a situation where it felt like they treated my best friend better than me. They would snap at me and whatnot but never raised their voice or were nasty to my friend. They were always friendly with her. It felt like at time they wanted to replace me with her.

But I was able to call them out on this and and how it hurt and they point blank let me know that they only treated my friend different cause she was important to me and because they weren’t related to her they didn’t have the authority, familiarity or responsibility over her like they did with me.

There’s a certain line that you sometimes don’t cross with friends of siblings that you basically summersalt over with siblings. And I know now my sisters would move mountains and go to war for me, no matter how much we fought and how nasty we could be to each other when we were kids. And believe me, we could be downright nasty to each other.

I feel like this is the case with Ron, Ginny and the twins. I know we can get a bit deep into how mistreated Ron was , and I definitely can see how the twins cruelty towards Ron and Ginny and Ron’s fight how it could seem like they may not like each other, but there’s a bit more nuance we have to look at.

I honestly never even viewed the twins as a part of Harry’s circle at least outside of quidditch. I think this view of the twins picking Harry over Ron comes from the whole the Weasleys and Percy conflict. People think if they can do that to Percy they can do it to Ron. It may feel like they picked Harry over Percy when in actuality they picked Dumbledore over the Ministry. And they welcomed Percy back with absolutely no hesitation. That’s family.

Family is complicated and while I will call out what utter assholes the twins and Ginny can be to Ron I just can’t agree with the fact that when it comes down to it, they’ll put Harry over Ron. It doesn’t seem fair to their characters.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRY JAMES POTTER!
