A man and a woman share romantic themed scenes and other wholesome moments.

Everyone: Omg they're an awesome couple! They belong together! They're beautiful and perfect! They're my OTP 😆😆❤️❤️

Two men/two women sharing literally the same scenes or even more emotional/romantic themed scenes than the main canon straight couple has.

Everyone: They're just friends/rivals. They have a platonic relationship. Why do you ship them? Why can't two men/two women be just friends???? Why they have to be boyfriends/girlfriends????? 😭😭😭

Don't make excuses. Just say you're homophobic. And if you really aren't homophobic, if you don't like the ship for other reasons, not because they are two men/two women, just directly say "I don't like them because X" but don't use those arguments because if you do I'm just gonna assume you're queerphobic. I don't know, use the "I don't like the trope of their relaitonship" "I prefer another couple". But don't use the "they're just friends" because that argument is so overused.

being a multi-shipper is so fun you guys should try it instead of arguing about which ships better cause it’s rlly not that deep 😭🙏

Hp Fandom hating Ron and Ginny. (For no reason) Meanwhile Hermione:

"Oh, all right then, I did it," she whispered.

"But you should have heard the way he was talking about Ron and Ginny! Anyway, he's got a nasty temper..

Ginny and Hermione ❤️

[turtlele]

Ron: Where's Hermione?

Luna: doing stuff

Ron: don't like the sound of that. Where's Dean?

Luna: stopping Hermione from doing stuff

Ron: Harry?

Luna: stopping Dean from stopping Hermione doing stuff

Ron: and you?

Luna: distracting you so you can't stop Harry stopping Dean stopping Hermione from doing stuff

Ron:.......what's the stuff?

Luna: Ginny

Ron: MY SISTER?!

Hermione would canonically spend summer breaks with the Weasley’s and bunk with Ginny. Like they were close enough that Hermione gave Ginny boy advice, she told her about Krum, and she knew about Ginny/ Dean issues. I feel like both these characters weren’t explored so here are some of my Ginny-Hermione relationship centric headcanons:

- Ginny heard about Hermione from Ron and called his crush on her from first year.

- Hermione was incredibly awkward the first time she met Ginny cause she didn’t know how to make friends without life threatening situations.

- After Hermione was unpetrified Ginny snuck into her dorms to apologize. Hermione just stood there like 🧍‍♀️, and was like ‘that’s fine don’t get possessed again?’

- Third year when everyone was ignoring Hermione for the broom Ginny stuck by her because she knows how dangerous unassuming objects could be.

(She also talks to Fred and George about it so they are also friendly with her for my Fremione brain)

- Ginny is amazing at DADA and was stealing some of Hermione’s third year notes (she also really wanted to impress Remus)

- Ginny was the only one to know about Krum, (she would glare at him daring him to hurt Hermione).

- They would fight and be passive aggressive, but even in those moments they would have each other’s backs (no one else is allowed to be bitchy)

ginny and hermione kissed under mistletoe during december of hermione’s fourth year. this was not included in the books because it wasn’t relevant to harry’s journey

Pretty dang close to how I envision these two when I write!

My first two ideas are extremely serious and my last two are extremely deranged:

Hermione/Ginny

Poppy Pomfrey/Minerva McGonagall

Dobby/Sorting Hat (Dumbledore/Sorting Hat?)

thank you very much for the ask, anon!

hermione granger/ginny weasley

i'm going with... success, following a bit of character-wrangling.

i often think that the fandom has a tendency to over-egg the depth of hermione and ginny's friendship within the canon timeline - clearly they get along well, and like and respect each other, but it's also apparent that the dynamic between them is that of a big sister and a little sister, rather than besties who are equals.

it's striking, for example, that the advice hermione gives to ginny about how to deal with her feelings for harry doesn't seem to go both ways - there's never any suggestion in the books that ginny and hermione ever talk about her feelings for ron, and while this isn't to say that ginny doesn't notice them, it's evidence that she and hermione don't talk about harry in a "teen girls yapping about boys" way, but in a "here's my advice as someone who considers myself responsible for you" way.

[they clearly do yap about other boys - hermione's the source of the gossip that ginny's dating michael corner, ginny knows that she kissed krum - but the text is clear that these are things that everyone other than ron and harry could figure out...]

it's also striking that, on the one occasion in canon where we see ginny and hermione snap at each other - when hermione's scolding harry for the sectumsempra incident - the thing which puts ginny's back up is hermione being condescending and assuming that she knows what's best for everyone...

the big character arc that hermione undergoes as the series reaches its conclusion is her learning to accept the fact that one of her defining traits is inflexibility, and to let the positive manifestations of this [her extraordinary loyalty, her resilience, her rationality, etc.] shine while the more negative ones [her tendency to meddle, her being a sore loser, her unwillingness to consider multiple viewpoints, etc.] become things she gains the life-experience and perspective to manage.

ginny doesn't really get a proper character arc, because her main narrative purpose is to be harry's happy-ever-after - she represents the normal life to which he can return once his hero's journey is done, which naturally precludes her being someone who changes as the series draws to an end.

[as she herself says - she fell in love with harry when she was ten and "never gave up on" him...]

but she can - nonetheless - be given one by authors who aren't bound by the genre needs of the later series. and - in particular - be given a character arc which plays with her canonical archetype.

ginny is clearly someone who is very stubborn - which i mean as a compliment. she's steadfast, she's very good at enduring hardship, she's brave, she's self-reliant [her teaching herself how to play quidditch! iconic!], she's prepared to get knocked back and keep going, and so on.

but she's also clearly someone who finds it hard to recognise the point when being tenacious turns into being masochistic - someone who struggles to understand that it's just as bad for you to never give up on things as it is to always give up on them.

and, of course, her learning to deal with this tendency as she gets older doesn't prevent her ending up with harry. but i think that there's a great premise for her and hermione getting together post-war while they go through this process of growing - as ginny learns that she and harry staying together isn't going to be happy-ever-after, and that she's right to walk away, and hermione learns that, when she stops seeing ginny as someone she has to advise and starts seeing her as someone she just has to hang out with... there's something between them that neither expected.

minerva mcgonagall/poppy pomfrey

beautiful. iconic. transcendent.

and outlined in more detail here:

albus dumbledore/dobby/the sorting hat

dumbledore and the hat are a couple, except - since the hat is a poor communicator and that's why its songs are so shit - dumbledore doesn't realise that they're in an open relationship.

Anybody got any fic recs for my suddenly very long layover? I’m talking absolute favorites, gut wrenchingly angsty, hilariously funny. Seriously. Any genre, any AU, any ship. Send them my way please

[kathrahender]

Some people: "X character is better than Y" "No, Y character is better than X!"

Me: It would be awesome if X and Y kissed and dated.

Some people: ....

Me: What? It's the truth, they would look good together.
