Check out my new user info. logansrogue is just brilliant.

I want to change to a P&P mood theme, which I have saved on my computer, but I'm too lazy to load all those pics into photobucket.

lol.

I don't think "Neville doesn't act like that" and "Harry doesn't act like that" are good rebuttals to "he's a typical teenage boy" because Neville and Harry have anything but typical lives, and their circumstances tend to mature people, but--F/G certainly are. They grew up in the same family with the same circumstances. Hey Ron, instead of resenting your brothers, why not learn a thing or two from all of them? Still, I think it all comes down to immaturity. Ron's immature.

Major props to logansrogue. That is the perfect comic, and totally IC.

And I never wonder what brings on your anti-Ron rants. We are, after all, talking about Ron.

And I loved the subtle grammar slam on Ron Fan Girl's in your lj-cut text. ;-)

It was so subtle I even missed it!

No, it's not okay. But I think it is something he can overcome with time. Afterall, he is 16.

And in my opinion, this is somthing he mostly demands from himself. When it comes to his family and friends... well, it is my belief that he is very forgiving. :)

I think you nailed it on the head with why people who don't like Ron don't. I use to like Ron I really did but when he fought with Harry in Gof that was the first thing that made me start to see him differently. He has had a few, very few, moments where it looked like he might come back with being a prefect but then he kinda fell down on the job there. And by the end of OotP he was hardly in the book. Which is why I think he won't make it to the end of the 6th. Ok thanks for the rant I need that too. :D

Amen, sister. That's my problem with Ron, too. He has so much to say about his circumstances but not an ounce of desire to do a damn thing to do about it. Ya know, JKR told us in the very first book about the way Ron was going to be. In PS/SS on that first train ride when he said something like he has all these brothers and so everybody will be expecting him to do as well as they did but if he does, it's no big deal because his brothers had already done it. We're shown that lazy, defeatist attitude right from the get-go. Perhaps the reason why Ron (and his bewildering defenders) gets on my nerves so much is because I never latched onto it as something that would continue for so long. I thought the kid would have shut the fuck up by now with the whole "Woe is me... I'm so poor and downtrodden..." crap. In OOTP, JKR even had Harry think that he was finding it hard to sympathize with Ron's whining about his position on the Quidditch team, because Harry himself would've given almost anything to actually be *on* the friggin' team. But Ron ( ... )
