Alien: You’re telling me that in times of great distress humans have been known to suddenly gain the strength necessary to lift objects more than a dozen times their own weight?!
Human: Yeah, it’s called “hysterical strength” and it usually happens in life-or-death situations, like when someone gets stuck under a car or something and someone lifts the car to get them out. We can’t really test it though, ‘cause it only happens spontaneously.
Alien: Humans have the ability to tap into untold strength and power and you don’t even know how you do it?
Human: Pretty much, yeah. We think it has something to do with temporary analgesia, so we just don’t feel the pain we should when we pick up a 3000-pound car.
Alien: YOUR PAIN RESPONSE JUST SHUTS OFF?
Human: Yeah, it’s like an adrenaline thing? Do you not have that?
Alien: Fuck you and your entire species of tiny juggernauts.
This.....this means a lot as a Starscream fan.
as a Starscream fan, i feel like the portrayal of his abuse has… only gotten worse in recent adaptions?
like… if we look at G1, we can tell that the cartoon does not go out of its way to represent Megatron’s (and a few others) mistreatment of Starscream as abusive, controlling, or similar. and it was probably not their intent at all (because really, it’s a Saturday morning cartoon made to sell toys), so they just balanced out the dynamic by making Starscream outwardly power-hungry, greedy, vengeful, and “just as bad as Megatron”.
and although it still isn’t okay, it wasn’t as much fetishization of their dynamic as much as just a reoccuring joke of “Starscream tries to usurp Megatron, Megatron beats him”. it’s obvious that the way Megatron treats Starscream affects him heavily by the behaviors he displays, but it wasn’t really intended to be seen as such.
but much of the fandom rightfully found the treatment of Starscream (as a character generally) to be unfair, and thought that the abuse he endured being swept under the rug further damaged his potential as a character, as the writers for the shows and comics couldn’t see how the way others treat him is awful and affects him deeply. (warning for read more: contains descriptive and heavy elements of abuse, please read with caution)

Ron and Ginny bashers are often Harmony shippers who are buttmad they get in the way of their ship. And they’re so annoying. Ginny bashers are often misogynistic while Ron bashers are often ableist in the ways they insult his intelligence, elitist for the ways they mock him for being poor, and obnoxious in the ways they mock him for his eating habits.
Ron and Ginny bashers are often Harmony shippers who are buttmad they get in the way of their ship.
Yep. Almost all of them are.
And they’re so annoying
I KNOW RIGHT??!!
Harmony shippers literally ruin everything, they try so hard to convince everyone that their ship is canon; often using Hermione noticing Harry grew taller in OoTP as some sort of “hint”. (Noticing a big change in your best friend’s physical appearance isn’t a big deal, it literally just means you have the power of sight.🤦♀️)
Ginny bashers are often misogynistic
Yeah. I honestly don’t care if people ship Harmony, I wouldn’t attack people for shipping fictional characters. But my problem with them is that they bash Ronald and Ginny, they claim that Ronald is abusive and they created the “Ginny cheats” trope in fanfics as a poor (and pathetic) attempt to make her look bad.
Ok, Ginny bashing in general is sorta understandable, she was extremely mean and unlikeable in HBP (no hate to her, I love her), but Harmony shippers take it way too far, they’re misogynistic and just plain disrespectful.
They desperately need to bash Ronald and Ginny. If Harry and Hermione do bad things, then pshhhh it’s completely fine! But if Ronald and Ginny do bad things, they’re toxic and abusive.
If Hermione cheats = omg Girl Power and Ronald is a toxic and emotionally abusive deserter.
If Ronald cheats = we were right about him, he's not worthy to clean Hermione’s shoes and bow down to her.
If Ginny cheats = she’s a total slut.
If Harry cheats = he deserved better and Ginny wasn’t paying enough attention.
The Double standards in this fandom. Sigh... 🤦♀️
while Ron bashers are often ableist in the ways they insult his intelligence,
I will never understandable people who hate Ronald. Like HOW? WHY WON WON? WHAT THE HECK DID THAT ANGEL EVER DO TO THEM? He’s literally perfect in every way.
I’ve seen people claim that he’s a dumbass who would be nothing if it weren’t for the almighty Hermione Granger. Ronald is just as smart—if not smarter—than Hermione.
elitist for the ways they mock him for being poor,
It’s honestly sickening. They straight up shame him and I’ve seen some call him a laughing stock. It’s genuinely appalling.
and obnoxious in the ways they mock him for his eating habits.
He isn’t even that obsessed. The idea that Ronald is hopelessly addicted to food mostly comes from the movies. (I’ve always found it odd how the filmmakers were so obsessed with his eating habits. I suppose it was another way to make him less like Ronald and more of a comedic relief.)
So what if the dude likes to eat? He’s a teenager and he has an entire fucking feast right in front of his very eyes, who tf wouldn’t be obsessed? (Boi, I’m literally drooling just thinking about the food they have at Hogwarts. Imagine how he must’ve felt actually being there.)
Ronald bashers are just- UGH. I literally have no words to describe them. I wanna punch each and every one of them in the face.
When will Harmony shippers get it through their thick skulls?
Ronald and Ginny deserve so much better! :(

harry potter & ron weasley teen | 8.6k words
why i recommend it:
ron's capacity for jealousy is something which generates a lot of fandom discourse - especially the role it plays in his relationship with hermione. this fic is a look at one of the canon moments which foreground this trait - ron's falling out with harry when his best pal's name comes out of the goblet of fire - and it does a wonderful job of exploring ron's less pleasant characteristics without bashing him.
like a brother would by @wolfpants
harry potter/ron weasley explicit | 5.2k words
why i recommend it:
i have a real weakness for ronarry - largely because i love how ron would give anything in the world to get to take care of his bestie. this fic takes that urge to its natural conclusion...
the english opening by lordrowantree
fleur delacour/ron weasley teen | 55k words
why i recommend it:
because it respects ron’s canonical rizz and asks the very important question: what would happen if fleur said yes when he asked her to the yule ball?
and, in doing so, it also respects all the rest of ron’s canonical traits - his intelligence, his kindness, his big-picture thinking, his sense of daring - and uses them to offer an exploration of fleur’s character which is considerably kinder and more nuanced than the one she receives in canon.
plus, it’ll teach you something about chess, which is a bonus.
ghouls in the attic by speechwriter
tom riddle/ron weasley general | 8.9k
why i recommend it:
because - as the author correctly notes - i have seen your heart and it is mine is an outrageously romantic thing for the horcrux to say to ron [especially because it happens just before voldemort canonically suggests that hermione is mid].
collateral damage by @danpuff-ao3
draco malfoy/ron weasley explicit | 16k words
why i recommend it:
i also have a weakness for dron - above all because the two of them are narrative mirrors, defined by their relationships to their families and their relationships to harry, brought into conflict by their polar differences [draco's wealth versus ron's lack of it, etc.], and possessed of similar personality traits [a desire to be recognised as important and be the centre of attention; a capacity for jealousy]. this fics plays with those similarities - and also with ron and draco's more positive shared traits - in a really striking way. i ship these two losers. i hope they're happy.
some i love who are dead by brightened
hermione granger/ron weasley teen | 2.2k words
why i recommend it:
because it's a lovely, bittersweet look at ron's character from the perspective of hermione's old age - thinking about the man he became and the husband and father he was.

Dick: Awe, Dami. That’s so sw- * realize what he said* Hey!
Duke: *looks so done* Impeding on my privacy must really be a bat thing.
Dick: Don’t worry, I got this. *calls Wally*

Jason: He never picks up. *smirks* Special if its you.
