Ron always just fucking knows
If you remember, Ron was always weirdly good with Divination. Whenever he’d joke about a possible outcome, it would eventually happen in some roundabout way!
#AU where Ron is actually a great prophet but no one fucking knows it#and when they find out#Ron is torn between being pissed as hell and thinking it’s hilarious
BUT MOST OF YOU DON’T REMEMBER THAT THIS USED TO BE A LEGIT FANDOM THEORY, THOUGH. Back during the “three year summer” between GoT and OotP, it was actually pretty common for people to theorize about Ron secretly being a Seer without realizing it. In addition to the quote above, most of his predictions in books 3 and 4 come true at some point in the series if they’re read broadly enough.
This was also accompanied by a fandom theory about Ron being the “seventh son of the seventh son“ — namely that the Weasleys had lost another son at some point before the series began, making Ron the seventh. If Arthur Weasley was also a seventh son, this could have meant that Ron was born with special magical abilities such as the power of prophecy.
In the end, this theory was soundly jossed both by OoTP as well as by J.K. Rowling, who stated in her March 2004 World Day interview that Arthur Wealsey had been one of only three brothers. Ron making ‘predictions’ was a result of his own perceptiveness and by sheer dumb luck; still, the ‘Ron is Actually a Seer’ theory was an important force in pre-2004 fandom and figured into a number of major fanworks of the time.
Another major Ron-centric fan prediction included the “Dumbledore is actually a time-travelling Ron Weasley” theory, which remains one of the most complex, far-fetched, and awesome popular fan theories ever.
FANDOM HISTORY IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF FAN CULTURE AND WE SHOULD MAKE AN EFFORT TO REMEMBER THESE IMPORTANT PARTS OF OUR HERITAGE.
THANK YOU. I WAS REALLY SOLD BY THIS THEORY AND WAS CONVINCED RON WAS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THE “DIE RON DIE!” CASUAL COMMENT RE: TEALEAVES. omfg. my heritage.

When you discuss the wage gap, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Only white women make $0.77 to a man’s dollar.
- Black women make about $0.68 to a man’s dollar.
- Latina women make about $0.58 to a man’s dollar.
Intersectionality matters.
I will keep reblogging this to point out that disabled people, including men, make 22 cents on the dollar. Mostly because it is legal to pay us below minimum wage, but whatevs.

2015 trend: answering the question “are you a feminist?” with the question “are you not?” in order to make not being a feminist sound more like the ridiculous, illogical thing that it is.
