For the ship thing I have a few I'm curious about your thoughts on! Neville & Luna, Neville & Ginny, Neville & Ron, Neville & Harry and lastly, Neville & Hermione :3
Send me Nev ships for my opinion | accepting | for @severelysnapped!
Neville & Luna-
A fave, tbh. @spectrespecced and I are working on a lot of ideas with these two! I think they’re two that really meshed well, and I wish we’d gotten to see more of them in the books together. I really don’t like how it was handled in the film with the whole “i gotta tell her i love her bc i may die!!” because I think it’s out of character for Nev, even under such pressure. I like the idea of them secretly dating from their fifth year on, a sweet little secret they can share with one another. I think they are a sweet match.
Neville & Ginny-
Iiiiii don’t know about this one. I’m so, so fond of them as being such wonderful close friends that I can’t really see them romantically together. Neville thinks she’s brilliant, and no doubt beautiful, but she’s just? His best friend. And I am really fond of that idea, of them being best friends. Because I think they are two that really need strong friendships after all they endure during school– Ginny with her traumatic incident with the diary, shit with harry, quidditch, her family home. And Nev– Frequently bullied, the trauma of finding out Madeye was actually a man whom tortured his parents, shit with his parents, and both of them dealing with Deatheaters and stuff.
I mean, maybe it could happen with the write development and a close bond between muns, but I’m rather content with a loving friendship.
Neville & Ron-
Tbh I’ve never considered this ship at all? Is it a thing? I’m never really thought on it. I think it could be fun to do a plot where he’s crushing on Ron and he’s afraid to tell Ginny. But this is one of those ships that I would have to see develop truly organically, because I don’t know if any sort of prior plotting could get me on board. Ron was kind of.. Dickish to Nev behind his back? And that kind of puts me off lmao. I mean, a lot of folks were kind of cruel to Nev behind his back, but Ron sticks out the most to me in the Gryffindor house.
Neville & Harry-
whew I’ve got big feelings about Nev and Harry. I love it a lot. As terrible as it may be im so down with unrequited Heville. Hotter? Narry? idk wtf their ship is called. Anyway. I’m 1000% convinced Nev had a deep friend crush on Harry that was actually romantic, but he couldn’t exactly understand what those feelings meant. Or if they’d be acceptable. Plus Ginny liked Harry, so it’d be wrong to do that to your best friend- Gun for their crush. Also Harry was So Cool and The Chosen One and he was just.. Neville.
Harry always stood up for Neville, though. Even when Nev did something that Harry was probably annoyed with? Telling Nev he’s worth twelve Malfoys? Risking expulsion for Nev’s remembrall? Really helpin Nev out in DA? Also Nev’s gran deadass is just like “yeah Neville talks about you a lot harry.” Neville appreciates Harry so much.
I like this ship a lot. But I feel like itd be more one-sided, with Nev into Harry, than anything else. At least, that’s what Neville’s telling himself at the moment.
Neville & Hermione-
I go back and forth with this one. Part of me is like yes ride or die I love this ship, but another part of me is like: Platonic soul mates, best friends. Hermione was always so, so good to Neville, even when he was messing up and probably being annoying. She’s always helping him in classes and checking in on him. He asked her to the ball because he thought she was so sweet and kind. And even though she said no, i deadass believe she danced with him at the ball. She is without a doubt his first crush. But i can’t decide if I love them as kindred spirits more platonically or romantically.
