Today I’m thinking about how Harry loves people so much and has no idea how to communicate it. (Which is, frankly, a Huge Mood.)

This is clearest at times when Ron is feeling unloved, and Harry is baffled, hurt, and angry. How could Ron possibly feel unloved, when he’s the most important person in the world to Harry? And we’re sitting there reading thinking… yeah, okay, but how… would Ron know that? Have you ever, you know… done anything to indicate how much you care about Ron? You understand Ron can’t actually read your internal narration, right?

Part of what makes Hinny such a great couple is that Ginny seems to be… better at reading Harry’s feelings than most people. Like. We really have the impression that Harry can sit there and adore Ginny, and she can tell he adores her. (One of my favorite Hinny tropes is Ginny being Harry’s feelings coach… like, Ron comes back from Australia and Ginny nudges Harry like, “Tell him you missed him.” “What? Of course I missed him.” “Tell him anyway.”)

Anyway. Harry is very sweet and sad and I love him, I guess that’s the point of this post.

having a freeze response to stress is so funny in the context of normal adult stressors. millions of years of evolution are trying to tell me that the email will not find me if i stay very still and do nothing

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

It just kills me when writers create franchises where like 95% of the speaking roles are male, then get morally offended that all of the popular ships are gay. It’s like, what did they expect?
