HELP

at the risk of sounding like i think ron's only likeable bc he's "special" in some way (untrue): this dude doesnt understand ron's sokka-from-atla and lance-from-vld coded 😨 (team's strategist and heart)

Why do people who dont like Ron and Ginny automatically get accused of classicism and anti poor bigotry? I am not saying there are no people who hate Weasleys for being poor, the fandom is huge and all stripes of folks can be found here even the most despicable.

Most people I know who don't like Ron and Gin Gin also have Weasleys they do like such as : Fred, George, Percy, Bill, Arthur and Molly. (Yeah I don't get Molly bashing. She gave Harry his 1st motherly hug, loves her family and defeated Bellatrix. What's not to love? )

I personally don't like Ron, not coz he's poor and red head and all that shite. But coz he's very unremarkable, insecure, not too bright and not charismatic.

He's a good egg but have a distinct sidekick energy and not main character vibe like Harry, Hermione, Tom, Severus, Albus, Sirius, James, does.

And he's not brilliant like Percy, enterprising like the twins or cool like Bill.

He's like the characters Jonah Hill played once upon a time: Good hearted but ordinary, goofy guys.

These characters are good in comic scenes or slice of life dramas but not as the Main Male character or love interest in epic, larger than life romantic fics.

He's good. But he's not love interest material for most straight/bi women and gay/bi men.

I am sure in real life many of us would be happy to date a guy like Ron. But when it comes to reading fics, he's just not that guy you feel interested in.

He's that good, stable, nice guy your parents hope you end up with and they are right too.

But not the type of guy you fantasize about or want to read as MC or love interest.

He's too much of an every man, he reminds many of us too much of ordinary blokes we know to read him as MC or love interest.

ron would be the sibling that's the most sympathetic to percy's conflicts with and eventual leaving of the family imo

[discussing serious and unrelated overarching problem]

ron: of course, your stress levels arent helping out either

draco, very seriously: we should make out about it

ron, genuinely and seriously considering it for a moment: that would be a terrible idea

draco: drats.

[silence as ron tries to figure out if that was for-fun-flirting or genuine interest]

the dron interactions in my fic are boutta be wild bc they're gonna be in such a ginormous grey area where they know they're both somewhat gay + acknowledge they're acting Pretty gay rn with each other + do nothing about it

"no time to hash this out we have a mission to accomplish" type shit bc i suck :) ---

ron, annoyed, nudging a clingy draco away but not far enough to acc move him: stop it you're being so gay rn

draco, offended: i'm the one being gay?? let go of my hand!

i think it's pretty difficult to tell if i'm lying if you've known me for a long time, and have interacted with me a lot, because then you'd know i have a history of stumbling and backtracking + looking unsure/shifty while answering completely mundane things/truths

i just have a bad memory
