OMG YES. IF YOU HATE LAVENDER BROWN, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SHE DATED RON, PLEASEEEEEEEEE GTFO.
Cho and Lavender were villainized by the narative in favor of Ginny and Hermione
Rowling despises teenage girls with traditionally feminine interests. She only treats those who don’t want to be like “other girls” or the pick-me girls well in the narrative. It’s clear she projects a deeply personal issue onto certain female archetypes, which makes me think she must have a lot of unresolved resentment, probably dating back to her childhood. She portrays Lavender as foolish for being desperate over Ron, when in reality, that’s not foolish at all—it’s completely normal for a teenage girl experiencing her first relationship and not knowing how to handle her emotions. She also mocks Lavender and the Patil twins’ interests, like Divination, girls’ magazines, or gossip, as if those things were inherently frivolous and shallow. It’s as if being a girl and enjoying “girly” things automatically makes you stupid or as if femininity itself is incompatible with having depth and other, more “serious” interests.
Likewise, through Harry’s praise of Ginny for not crying—contrasted with Cho, who does—she implies that sentimentality, emotional expression, or a lack of self-control are negative traits, while repressing emotions (which is traditionally associated with masculinity) is a positive thing that makes you “tougher” or “stronger.” Narratively, Rowling always favors Hermione for “not being like other girls” and turns Ginny into the ultimate pick-me girl. She’s a character who barely matters or has any relevance throughout the series until she suddenly transforms into the perfect cishet teenage boy fantasy: the girl who is super hot and sexually desirable but at the same time doesn’t waste time with “girly stuff” because she’s too busy acting just as aggressive as any macho guy, being hyper-focused on sports, and being “one of the boys,” cracking jokes, being rough, and acting cool. She’s a girl bro, the embodiment of the perfect woman according to male fantasy, not female. It’s as if she were designed by a hormone-driven teenage boy rather than a woman in her thirties.
Ginny is a disaster of a character from a gender analysis perspective—truly atrocious. And then there’s Luna, who doesn’t bother anyone because she’s too weird, yet she’s accepted by the “not-like-other-girls” girls precisely because of that weirdness. She’s the Manic Pixie Dream Girl, completing the trifecta of contemporary misogynistic female stereotypes embodied by Hermione, Ginny, and Luna—the only teenage female characters who are curiously treated positively and praised by the narrative. The rest are torn down at some point, specifically for reasons directly related to their gender.
Me: *watches a movie series adapted from a book series*
Me: Alright I'm going to join the fandom and maybe buy the books-
*Me eventually joining the fandom and learning about the series*
*Sees the entire fandom fighting and arguing on about how inaccurate the movies are compared to the books*
Me: Holy shit here we go again-
Lately I have read an enough amount of views and comments on how book! Ginny's character was terribly portrayed in the movies, and I feel the need to talk about this.
DON'T GET ME WRONG, I really love strong, confident FMCs, especially Ginny. I really loved her character. She's really kind, popular, and confident, and as great as she was in the movies, I can't help but to think that the movies are missing out SO MUCH of her personality.
But...as much as I admire her being well liked and well loved, popular, and how everyone wanted to be like or be with her, I find it really hard for me to imagine myself in such really positive and admirable trait, and I honestly feel guilty about that. I feel like everyone else in the HP fandom really relate to her and I sometimes think why I couldn't do that. (Well yea I'm the problem.)
At the same time, this reminds me on how popular well loved people have most things, especially their social life way easier than others, and I often think of why I can't be like these people and/or characters.
Personally I have always been treated as an outcast and- trust me I am SO FAR AWAY from being considered "well liked" or "well loved" by my peers. I struggled to make friends my whole life and I
I generally have a really hard time relating to popular, confident, and well loved characters like her and many others (e.g Harry, Ron- okay I relate to Ron a bit). I genuinely want to relate to her and I feel like some people of the HP fandom really relate to Ginny and love Hinny, but at the same time in the back of my heart they'll always remind me of how different I am compared to others and how I am not "as cool" as them to fit in.
In conclusion, I 100% relate to Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas, Seamus Finnigan, and a tiny bit of Ron. I love Ginny and Harry, but I could never imagine being as admired as them. </3

"love is love" until it doesn't include sex
"love is love" until it lives in separate beds
"love is love" until it is queer platonic
"love is love" until it does not comply with compulsory sexuality and amatonormativity
love IS love, for aspecs, for sex repulsed folk and for platonic relationships
"love is love" apply to more than same-sex relationships in a world where romantic and sexual relationships are considered more valuable
Remember to advocate for Asexuals and Aromantics this pride. Because we are also here, and we are also queer
Thomas WOULD NEVER shoot Newt. No. He threw the gun away (AS FAAAARRRRR AS HE COULD), emptied the bullet sockets, and continued to hug Newt instead
No matter how feral Crank!Newt was, no matter how deep he clawed Thomas' heart, back, neck, chest, he kept holding on, holding on to him like a lifeline and soothing him in his dialogue, "Kill me before I become one of those cannibal monsters! Kill me!"
"It's okay..love...it's okay"
Brenda and Minho actually got the serum/syringe in time to inject him wuth the cure/Thomas' blood
Them laying Newt down in safe haven to see if he's still alive, he is.
Thomas staying by Newt's side as his heartbeat is the only thing keeping him going, listening to his heartbeats.
Before Newt woke up Minho sat down with Thomas and he went on about how Newt talked to Minho about his love for Thomas and the reason why Newt stuck to Thomas because if he died the last place he wanted to be was in his arms... ☹️
Newt finally waking up with the sight of Thomas, appearing tousled with a bowl of soup (that he asked Frypan to make) ☹️☹️, his body still half conscious, wrecked, aching, and dizzy enough to not realized that his skin cleared from the flare and slowly recovering
Thomas finally tearing up a bit when Newt finally woke up and he laid his hand on his back to steady him, gently wiping Newt's face and body from liquid and blood
"Open up, sweetheart, you need to eat." Thomas said as he gently lifted a spoon of soup to Newt
Newt weakly smiling as he saw Thomas tenderly taking care of him, opening up and accepting his fate to be spoonfed by Thomas
