Anonymous asked: Do you ever think sometimes especially before ootp, hermione felt like the third wheel? I mean... Ron was the person Harry would miss most and I remember during the duelling club in cos when asked to pick a partner Harry immediately moved to Ron first... Ik you couldn't have picked two ppl in these situations but still it must hv made her feel left out perhaps? I'm sad now
Yes, I do think about it, and it makes me extremely sad because frankly, I relate way too much to the feeling of being no one’s first choice. It’s funny that I used to relate to Hermione, wanted to be like Hermione, for so many other reasons when I was younger - and now, that’s the thing that I connect to the most.
And it doesn’t mean that Harry doesn’t love Hermione. Just that, in a lot of small - and a lot of big - ways, Ron is Harry’s first thought, his first person to turn to, his priority. Being in Hermione’s position - and being aware of that dynamic - really fucking sucks. Especially considering she wasn’t particularly popular in general and we don’t know if she had friends at all before Hogwarts.
No matter how close she is to Harry and Ron, and she is - I can tell you firsthand that the knowledge that even the people you’re closest to have closer friends than you … that really, really stings.
This is now officially an Addams family appreciation post
In order to depict such purity and love in a m/f relationship, one must first set the foundation that these people are odd and not the norm. (per media standards)
They cared about their children, their children’s interests, and wanted the kids to always be true to themselves. How peculiar!
Gomez and Morticia never showed negative jealousy towards each other’s past love interests. Even going to far as complimenting them for being special to their true love. How bizarre!
They could forgive almost any character flaw in a friend or relative. The only thing that could not be forgiven was betrayals and pastels. Weird amirite?
Morticia is a woman’s woman. She allies herself with other women instead of competing with them. She even seeks to understand women different from herself and her beliefs. Strange.
Gomez wants Morticia to have whatever Morticia wants. He doesn’t give her permission, he actively supports her and motivates her. Fa-reaky.
