Pride and Prejudice 2005 ☼ dir. Joe Wright
Yes! Romione and Dramione, mostly because of the bickering. This is why Harmione gives me the ick.
If your reason for not shipping Ron and Hermione is because of all their bickering... you have a child's grasp of their characters.
Ron has five brothers and a little sister. You have to be quick witted to keep up with the amount of friendly fire going on inside that house. The loudest gets heard. He's always ready for a fight.
Hermione secretly judges people by their ability to keep up with her intellectually. Condescension is a reflex. It pushes people away before they can actually match her (because god forbid she lose).
Unstoppable force meets immovable object. Ron can't stop once he gets started and Hermione is too stubborn to admit she's wrong. And, the thing is, they both clearly love it.
Hermione wouldn't want a "yes" man and Ron wouldn't want someone who can't handle teasing. He challenges her intellect, and she gets an intellectual challenge. It's a win win.
When I tell you I cannot WAIT for this book...

White is Earth clouds, pink is aurora, blue is the Sun in a specific wavelength, brown is Jupiter clouds, black is the Hubble deep field, red is the top of sprites, orange is a Mars crater, yellow is the surface of Io, green is a lake with algae, blue is Neptune, and purple is the Crab Nebula in a specific wavelength.

Oh no - I totally agree with you! Canon-wise, Ron is the ONLY choice. It would have been tragic for her to be paired off with someone else - it wouldn't have matched the tone of the story at all.
Literally just on a realisitc, psychological level and returning to these characters as an adult, the brain does kind of go, "Wowwww this could have gone down so differently."
But you're welcome. And thank you for also not being rude and for engaging in this back and forth! :)
hi hello friends! does anyone around these parts have some solid knowledge of tarot and a willingness to let me pick your brain? i have a character who has a very specific plot point involving tarot and i know next to nothing, possibly less than nothing, and would love to figure out how to sound like that's not the case.
This set is perfection. I'm obsessed.

This is why it is the ultimate Enemies-to-Lovers slow-burn.
No because pride and prejudice isn't "I changed myself for you so you would love me back." It's "your blatant rejection and disdain for me made me realize things about myself no one had ever been bold enough to tell me so I sat down and evaluated all my behavior patterns and why they came about and came to the realization myself that I had to work on myself. Also I don't expect you to love me now that I'm a work in progress, so I'm just going to do nice things for you because I don't like seeing you hurt." No wonder P&P fans refuse to settle.
