I am nearly done with my slowest Prisoner of Azkaban reread in the world and I am, once again, upset at how many people in the fandom don’t like (or worse, fully hate on) Ron Weasley. He is SO GOOD. And he genuinely does the absolute most in the shrieking shack scene, holy shit. I’m talking falling down strategically on Sirius’ wand arm, “if you want to kill Harry you’ll have to kill us first” then DOUBLING DOWN “Did you hear what I said?” (Don’t even get me STARTED on how they tossed this line away to Hermione in the movie I am absolutely fuming), hexing Snape, volunteering IMMEDIATELY to CHAIN himself to a MASS MURDERER because he takes it as a personal affront that the pet rat he’s loved and cared for his entire childhood turned out to be a hideously evil human being. Did I mention he does all that with a severely broken leg?? Like he is white as a sheet, gripping Harry painfully just to stay upright, about to pass out at times and he STILL does everything in his power to protect his people. He is so so good I love him so much.
• Ron’s full name is Ronald Bilius Weasley, the direct translation of the name is ‘having the god’s power’ ‘anger’ ‘cunning’
•“Ronald” is a name that has its roots in Old Norse language from the name ‘Ragnvald’, it was the name of many old kings, probably this is where the‘Weasley is Our King’ were referenced from.
•Ron’s middle name Bilius came from his uncle Bilius, who was a very humorous and funny man before he went crazy and die because of seeing a Grim.
•Ron is a Pisces. He was born on March 1st (3.1). If you reverse the birth number it’s ‘13’, an ominous number( Maybe this is why he got poisoned on his birthday in HBP). And unlike Harry and Ginny whose represent number is ‘7’—the lucky number, favored by gods. Hermione whose represent number is ‘9’—a number that represents virtues. Ron is the sixth son of the family. ‘6’ represents ‘Satan/Lucifer’ ‘Devil’ ‘The Beast’. I think JKR did this to reverse the trope. A kid who was born on an unlucky day and with bad omens, who was least loved in the family, turned out to be a kind and loyal friend.
•Ron’s first wand is his brother, Charlie’s old wand. It’s an Ash wood wand with unicorn hair. He later got his own wand because his dad Arthur won a prize and bought him one. It’s an Willow wood wand with unicorn hair. What’s interesting is that it is also the same wand wood of Lily Potter. It is said that Willow wood wand will only choose wizards with great magic potential.
•Ron is probably the tallest student in golden trio era. Many times the books described him to have long legs and arms. Since adult Harry is like 180+cm in the books and Ron is a head taller than him. By the end of the series Ron probably reach the height of 190+cm.
My three girlfriends. And yes, they smoke weed.
so i am looking for a very specific type of fic which has the 'Ron Weasley least loved' trope
Like he is not actively hated and abused by Weasleys but he is left behind, ignored, neglected, accidentally forgotten
I just really wanna read some Ron centric family angst, any recommendations? Any blog i can specifically ask for recommendations?
All help appreciated, please interact and ask anything you wanna know before you recommend!
Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

It will look something like this (and will be transparent with white outline on dark backgrounds):
Feel free to spread and use these as much as you like! (and if you have ideas for other variations, let me know ✌️)
According to DH book Ron Weasley is supposed to have long hair. He also kinda looks like Ginny. And Ginny is described very pretty in books. Long hair tall pretty boy Ron confirmed!(Imma starting this Ron Weasley hot agenda just wait)
movie ron: i’ll heh go easy on you. even though you have consistently showed us how proficient you are at spellcasting and how hyper confident you are at magic. i’m the Man so i’ll go easy, don’t worry my overwhelming manliness will not allow me to disarm a poor defenceless girl
book ron: [excitedly] I DISARMED HERMIONE THREE WHOLE TIMES DID YOU SEE THAT HARRY DID YOU?????
T-That’s it. That’s the entire post, really.
Do people really expect me to be normal and not fall for Roger when he literally looks like a full-course meal?
Like, I understand that he’s old and is one of the antagonists in the series but uhh… he’s really attractive if you think about it.
He may not be as youthful-looking as Claude, Anastacius or Felix since he probably looks his actual age the most, he has that… silver fox vibe you get from older guy characters, you know?
And I’m kinda digging that vibe from him.
Shame me all you want but I’m being honest with my attraction towards him. I mean, have you read the fanfics I wrote featuring him and Anastacius?
It’s too late to save me now. I am officially physically attracted to all the men in WMMAP, and that includes Roger obviously.
And I know for a fact that you guys at one point were questioning yourselves when he wore his glasses for the first time. Believe me, I’ve been there.
I… feel like before Duke Robane appeared, the silver fox lovers were just clinging onto this man and the thought of it makes me w h e e z e.
Anyway, that’s it from me!
Sincerely, a Mister White lover.
