So, YAP SESSION ABOUT THE SILVER DOE AND SOME MORE STUFF

So, Jowling K rowling chose to write the most heartbreaking, absolutely soul-crushing, heart-wrenching chapter about Ron's deepest and darkest insecurities and did him justice FOR ONCE by proving to readers that he's not useless and unwanted, just for her to deny his arc, turn around and say "Ron didn't stay with Harry but Hermione did, and that says a lot about him"

EXCUSE ME

YOU WROTE HIM JOWLING. YOU WROTE HIM SO WONDERFUL AND AMAZING AND DEDICATED THIS CHAPTER TO RON TO PROVE HOW IMPORTANT HE IS AND NOW YOU SAY "NAH FUCK IT"

You know what else says a lot about Ron? THE FACT THAT HE'S BEEN SUPPRESSING HIS PROBLEMS AND INSECURITIES, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO BOTHER HARRY, WHO HAS IT MUCH WORSE. The fact that HE ASSIGNED ALL THE BLAME FOR LEAVING TO HIMSELF, because he KNOWS WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG. Ron said "I'm not making excuses, Harry, for what I was like", because, even after getting psychologically tormented by Voldemort's soul, he still knows he has to be brave enough to admit his mistakes. And after enduring a SECOND ROUND OF THAT TORMENT, HE STILL FEELS GUILTY AS SHIT. Poor boy, won't even defend himself.

How can people not feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Ron, seeing him sobbing his heart out, broken, shaking, crushed by the weight of his own remorse? You will hate Ron less if they see his departure in DH as a clever plot device rather than something he did because "he's selfish"

I mean, it's one of the smartest plot devices I've ever read because not only did it show in an ironic way how Ron is in fact useful, that the trio is incomplete without him, but also while Ron was away, he got extremely important information such as

•the location of shell cottage, where Ron took Hermione in to recover after she was tortured. Imagine if Ron didn't know where to go for help, the poor girl would have probably died in Ron's arms

• informing them about the snatchers. Honestly I was impressed by Ron. Bro managed to fight off FIVE MEN, possibly stronger than him. AND he got one of their wands.

• getting a wireless radio to listen to potter watch, the only reliable radio station as he described it

While Hermione and Harry were struggling to find a way, Ron was in no less danger than they were. And he did it. He found a way ENTIRELY ON HIS OWN, with the help of his deluminator of course. Just think about all the nights Ron spend away from them, while Hermione was crying, Ron was probably in no better state too, hating himself every second of the day for leaving them, but still, not giving up on his hope that he'd find them.

Honestly it was a crucial part of the story. And no, haters, it says absolutely NOTHING about his "disloyalty". Only that Ron sometimes breaks but then comes to be even stronger than before. And it combines so many emotions, it's devastating, heartbreaking, wholesome, it made me cry because I can't understand how and why could Ron ever leave him, leave her, but deep down YOU KNOW it's not Ron's fault, it's not anyone's fault because they are all misunderstood. Harry had worried his whole life that everyone he loves will be gone. Ron worries that everyone he loves will brush him aside. And Voldemort's soul made those nightmares true...

At least they thought he did. Because, if Ron had never given up on his hope that he would find them, if he never stopped caring about Harry and Hermione, did he really give up on them? If Harry's dearest friend, his most beloved had been Ron Weasley all along, how could Ron ever be unloved?

You can hate Ron as much as you want but never forget that he was brave enough to take all the blame for the fight with Harry without looking for excuses.

Also people don't talk enough about the fact that Ron, before he found them again, had to fight off FIVE snatchers before he got somewhere safe. While Harry and Hermione were basically in mourning state, and tried to find the strength to keep going, Ron was completely lost. All the days Hermione spent silently crying, Ron spent holding onto his hope that he'd find her again. He kept looking and never gave up on finding them.

Can we just not bash ANYONE in the trio for their reactions. Blame Voldemort, the master manipulator that got Ron, a ray of sunshine to break and be the opposite of himself, not three teenagers who had to save the world. Criticisms of them are valid of course, BUT DON'T PORTRAY THEM AS DEVILS FFS

And yes, I'm devastated about how Ron's departure broke Hermione so badly it could have ruined their love. But love is stronger than ego, and once Ron explained to her what he went through too, she took he time before forgiving him. Take a look at how forgiveness is a part of their relationship, Ron gives her time and space, he doesn't pressure her or beg her. Ron just silently does his work and tries to make up, and once he saves her life, once she understands this was nothing but a huge misunderstanding, they're in eachother's arms again, ready to move on.

Since the whole thing with NaNoWriMo has gone down, I've noticed that one of their former sponsors, Ellipsus, has cut contact with NaNoWriMo because they do not support their stance on AI; I didn't know what Ellipsus was, but upon further research I've found that they are a writing platform that works a lot like Google Docs and Microsoft Word, only with a heavier leaning on the story-writing aspect and connecting with other writers - and they also completely denounce any use of AI, both in the writing process itself and in the use of their platform. I really appreciate that.

Since this is the case (and since I've noticed Google has begun implementing more AI into their software), I've decided to give Ellipsus a try to see if it's a good alternative to Google Docs (my main writing platform). It's completely free and so far, I've found it simple to use (although it is pretty minimal in its features), and I really like the look of it.

I figured I'd spread the word about this platform in case any of you writers would want to give it a try, and if you do, let me know how you like it!
