#TO BE CLEAR I still stand by romionarry

[goldentriowins]

Thinking about how the fandom at large treats Hermione and her relationships with Harry & Ron, and how people act like she’s obligated to get with either of them. It feels very misogynistic to be like “Hermione HAS to get with Harry/Ron/some other guy in the end!!!” I know I can’t stop shipping debates, especially not with “well what if she got with no one” but one can dream I guess

Okay so, danish is my native language, and even though I’m in my 30s now and I have read the books in english, I still primarily engage with the danish versions whenever I’m doing a reread or relisten, because they’re the ones I grew up with (and the audiobook narrator of the danish version is 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻)

It’s small and subtle differences between the versions, but danish feels so much more Romionarry coded, and Ron is a lot more supportive.

The biggest difference is that he acknowledges and sides with Harry in recognising that the treatmeant he recieves from Snape and Seamus isn’t okay.

In the english version, Ron says that “It’s not our fault how Snape and Seamus treats you.”

In the most literary translation I can do of the danish Ron says “We can’t be held at fault/made responsible for the fact tha Snape and Seamus are treating you unfairely”

Ron uses the word “uretfærdigt” which firmly puts him on Harry’s side. In the english, he isn’t actively taking a stand against them, but he is in the danish version.

In the english version, Ron also makes it clear that he’s only sharing Hermione’s thoughts with Harry

“But Hermione says SHE thinks-“

In the danish, he doesn’t add that extra layer. He just says “Hermione says that if would be nice-“ He’s more aligned with Hermione, but he’s also putting himself as a more active participant. He agress with Hermione, he’s an active part of the “us” that is being affected by Harry’s explosive behavior.
