With everyone going on about how much JKR sucks I’m going to share my own “I’m ignoring her and making my own canon” scenario
Sometime after their last kid is born Ginny and Harry sit down and decide they are tired of living a lie and while they are best friends they don’t want to be each other’s beards anymore.
They get a divorce and Ginny ends up moving out to live with Luna. Shortly after she moved Ron showed up needing a place for him and the kids because he and Hermione have had a talk and are having a trial separation. Again they still like each other but they don’t really work as a couple.
Ron ends up as kinda stay at home dad to both sets of kids (though they see Ginny and Hermione all the time) it’s clear this is what he excels at. Ron is a lot more like his mother than anyone thought though much less controlling.
Nothing happens between him and Harry at this point but it’s close. What does happen is Ron talks Harry into applying for the defence against the dark arts position at Hogwarts
While this happening Ron and Hermione get a divorce and she goes public as being Aromantic. At this point Harry and Ron live in between Hermione and Ginny/Luna. All of the children have free reign of all of the houses and find having 5 parents pretty cool. Except they always fail at trying to play them off one another. The adults get along too well for that to work.
Ron and Harry get together quietly and Harry starts teaching
When he does Albus starts sympathetically being called the cursed child by his classmates because his dad keeps embarrassing the hell out of him and trying to give him advice on how to ask out Scorpius
The rest of the Weasley/Potter brood are jealous because at least Albus doesn’t have their dad as head of his house.
Harry is the MOST embarrassing dad
The newspapers try to twist their unusual home life as something wrong but the kids are so happy and well adjusted that instead it changes public opinion in a good way.
Draco who has become a lot less unpleasant in latter years corresponds often with Harry about their kids burgeoning relationship and runs a youth program to get young wizards away from hate groups and to change their life for the better. Hermione endorses it
when fantasy books describe the cloth of Quant Farmpeople’s clothing as “homespun” or “rough homespun”
“homespun” as opposed to what??? EVERYTHING WAS SPUN AT HOME
they didn’t have fucking spinning factories, your pseudo-medieval farmwife is lucky if she has a fucking spinning wheel, otherwise she’s spinning every single thread her family wears on a drop spindle NO ONE ELSE WAS DOING THE SPINNING unless you go out of your way to establish a certain baseline of industrialization in your fake medieval fantasy land.
and “rough”??? lol just because it’s farm clothes? bitch cloth was valuable as fuck because of the labor involved ain’t no self-respecting woman gonna waste fiber and ALL THAT FUCKING TIME spinning shitty yarn to weave into shitty cloth she’s gonna make GOOD QUALITY SHIT for her family, and considering that women were doing fiber prep/spinning/weaving for like 80% of their waking time up until very recently in world history, literally every woman has the skills necessary to produce some TERRIFYINGLY GOOD QUALITY THREADS
come to think of it i’ve never read a fantasy novel that talks about textile production at all??? like it’s even worse than the “where are all the farms” problem like where are people getting the cloth if no one’s doing the spinning and weaving??? kmart???
Chris turning red and thinking bad thoughts, lol. Me, too, buddy.
Well that’s one hell of a face journey
My fav part is that you’ve got Evans going on this face journey of delighted gutter thoughts, and then there’s Hemsworth, just nomming away nonchalantly like he hasn’t just made his buddy plunge suddenly and unexpectedly into nsfw mental image land
