lightofdayeAll my stuff is done and dusted for the moment. No obligations, woo. To make up for my dreary posts of late lets do something fun!
Slag of other people's ships! That's always good for a laugh. But really, I've reached the last chapter of Half Blood Prince on audio book and it struck me again how I have absolutely no feeling for Remus/Tonks. It's just dumb y'all! It's like even worse than Harry/Ginny.
I mean I do admire the way Harry is absolutely clueless and the book has him noticing what's going on but attributing it to Molly wanting Bill/Tonks when really she's trying to get Remus and Tonks together.
But the pay off at the end... this ship does neither of the main character's any good. Tonks turns into this lovesick unfun idiot and just whiny at the end (wha! why on't you love me! wha!) and I never get the impression Remus actually cares for Tonks. I mean its more like that everyone in the room just nagged him into putting up with her at the end. Especially given his attitude at the start of the next books.
So how many people on my f-list have i just mortally offended?

funny you should say that
Date: 2013-08-04 08:40 pm (UTC)My best friend (who like Hermione- is a Virgo- you know -always had to have the right answer, pretty nagging, bit of control freak,etc,etc) started dating a guy that was the youngest, academically slacker,etc
at first it was insufferable- but the more they got to know each other-everyone could see that it was more them trying the other to be better (in a really weird bickery way) an in the long run- it worked. they actually got married recently-ish (5 years ago) and they want to be parents- some day.
heck, My parents would give the most extreme bickery ron-hermione stereotype, A shameful run for their money.
and yet- when we're on family vacantions (or when they go on vacations by themselves and we stay with grandma and they call to see how w'ere doing) they act like the cheesiest newlyweds you ever seen-- it's bizarre.
so yeah- from my experience- I can totally seen Ron/Hermione working. we also have to keep in mind that- yeah they're high-school sweethearts- but the War probably helped them mature a lot and the problems they had-to me at least- seem typical hormoned-related, inmaturity misunderstanding things-- and from text I don't see those issues crossing over into adulthood.
(plus- I'm re-reading the books now and I'm noticing A LOT of mentions of Ron-hermione having alone moments without harry (hogsmeade weeked in poa- for example-- where they seem to be having a great time by themselves)
so yeah. Go Ron/Hermione!
