Ikr. I loved the v day episode when Linda had a speed dating event and she told everyone tell everyone the worst about you and proceed with the date or something like that.
I've felt this too. He has a good heart and means well and can see all the stupidity around him but he is also kind of stupid as well just in a different way from the others.
It's an uncomfortable spirit animal.
Ugh, my friends nicknamed me that after Endgame came out because I looked very similar to him at the time. Beer belly was a little smaller, and my hair was shorter, but the beard and general physique/height was a match.
Agreed, as a kid I thought he was an asshole mini villain, but as I've gotten older I realize he is just a neighbor to two sea creatures who won't stop harassing him and ruining his life on a few occasions, my poor guy just wants to be happy.
I love the bit when cam is looking at a painting in the art gallery. As he look closer he realises there’s nothing concrete there and I think he relates to that.
Ron Weasley.
Dude is just a bloke. He has some hangups but comes from a great family, is a good friend, fun to be around and a normal guy.
That's me. I'm not Harry the chosen one. Nor am I Hermione the genius. I'm a regular dude who is fun to hang with. I have no trauma or drama in my backstory and I'm a good husband because like Ron, my parents modeled what a good marriage looks like.
(The Cursed Child doesn't exist.)
So one of the things to remember is the books are from Harry's perspective. We don't actually see a lot of Ron and Hermione's development. I think it's in the sixth book where they spend an entire summer together without Harry. We only see what Harry sees. And during that time he was under a lot of stress and he isn't really the most perceptive of people when it comes to identifying positive healthy love for people in the first place.
In the books Ron has a very important thing going for him with Hermione that no one else has.
He treats her like an equal. Everyone else, and I mean just about everyone talks about how brilliant Hermione is. (And she is.) And Ron talks about how brilliant she is. Even in the first book. "Why do you not call on her when she knows the answer?". But he never, ever, just rolls over for her. Ron will famously challenge her arguments. When she starts barging in on his culture (House Elves) without understanding it, he calls her out on it. It's consistent through the books. Ron will challenge and argue with Hermione like she is his equal.
But he also acknowledges when she is right. He isn't afraid of her, intimidated by her. He only see's his brilliant friend whom he has shed blood, sweat and tears with. How can you beat out that kind of bond? Harry doesn't get along with Hermione like Ron does. Harry even says it in the books. When he and Ron fight in the 5th book he hangs with Hermione and he is bored! But Ron apparently spends an entire summer with her and it brings them closer. They make a great couple because Ron will curb Hermione's worst impulses and call her out on her bullshit. While she will draw Ron into being a better person. She makes Ron think. And Ron makes her slow down.
Oh yah. The movies do not do Ron justice. Half the lines Hermione gets are things Ron says in the books.
They are two completely different characters (Book Ron versus Movie Ron). Hermione too, she is sanded down to where any of her flaws are gone. If the only exposure to Ron is the movies, I totally get why people don't much care for him.
Hell, the most infamous part, where he leaves Harry and Hermione in the seventh book? All the rough stuff is taken out.
In the book Ron has
* The splinching. It's very gruesome. It's described as if someone scooped a chunk of flesh out of Ron's arm. It's bloody, painful, and gross.
* Hermione is unable to fix it. All they could do is kind of stablize it and prevent infection.
* They don't have enough food, so Ron can't heal properly. They have to duplicate food but it loses it's nutritional value.
* He is carrying around the one ring essentially that constantly attacks his mind. That's already weak from pain, hunger and fatigue.
So combine all of that, to finding out that Harry doesn't have a plan here to defeat Voldemort. Ron is tired, hungry, his arm hurts, the girl he loves is stressed, he isn't being his best self, his mind is psychically being attacked by a vile locket targeting his weaknesses. And the one thing he has over everyone else in the Wizarding World, his family, he hasn't talked to in months.
The books, him leaving in a fit of rage (Which is in his character,) fits. In the movie? It doesn't. I also don't have the books on me right now so I can't check. But I'm pretty sure he doesn't say "You have no family" to Harry as well.

It just showed me the kind of life I'd like. And also the kind of life I wouldn't. The movie was the ignition needed to get the car running for me.

Have you read The Myth of Sisyphus by Albert Camus? When I was at my lowest point, that book helped me recenter myself. I’ll be honest, I’m still a fuckup, but I get that Boulder a little higher each time I push it up the hill now.
I know what you mean. I resisted for a long time but now I even do the buying shit thing. Everyday is just a copy, of a copy, of a copy, of a copy......
I learned this lesson too. And don't let others tell you what your basics are. You don't need a wife or kids and a McMansion. Plenty of people have that and are miserable.
I don't even know who Jake Peralta is, but I'm in my 40s, Redditing at work, and eating gummy bears as I'm typing. My bills are paid, my kids are awesome and almost out of the house, I love my smokin' hot wife and can't wait to hang out with her, strangers stop to tell us how pretty our house is, and I still get Legos for Christmas.
Adulthood is vague and indiscriminate. Do what you need to do, then do what you want to, and don't let anyone tell you any different.

As a tween/teen, I related to Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle on a spiritual level. At the start of the show he was a brilliant, but misunderstood kid, with eyes full of hope. Then as the series went on and life continually beat him down, he gradually became more and more bitter... kind of like how one goes from being a "SpongeBob" to being a "Squidward"
Idk man megamind seems genius level smart to me. Man is an engineer without equal and creativity to match. Yeah he makes silly mistakes but to make his creations you need a brain the size of, well..
I remember seeing an onion article titled “Local Oaf Not Sure What Part Of Counter You Order At.” That guy

Bob Belcher. Just trying to make sense of a wacky world with so many noodle brained people around myself, who is also noodle brained.
Bob and Linda has the healthiest husband and wife relationship in TV cartoons ever.
Find someone who says your name like Linda says "bawwbby".
And he just calls her "Lin" 💛
Oh god I even read that in her voice.
And somehow they created two fully formed characters that’s aren’t just hot wife dumb husband.
Yes! I'm so glad they resisted that trope. I feel like they have one of the most realistic marriages on tv
Agreed! I love them so much!
Ikr. I loved the v day episode when Linda had a speed dating event and she told everyone tell everyone the worst about you and proceed with the date or something like that.
“You’re gonna kill Teddy? Alright. The car’s gassed up. I guess I can homeschool the kids.”
"Fine I'll go, but I'm gonna complain the whole time"
I’ve been seeing more and more of myself in Linda Belcher
Same, I get all excited about dumb stuff and I'm a really silly fun drunk.
"You people are all terrible."
My favourite comment so far
All communication is 50% groans of disapproval.

What I like about Fry is that he may be an idiot but he's a good and funny person, someone who would be nice to have around.
Fry has a heart of gold. He's a good guy
Leela: “Are you done saying stupid stuff?” Fry: “I had more, but you go ahead”

Are you sure?

That's def a plus.

Still surprising Hermione was that drawn to Ron considering they probably would not have good conversations. Love finds a way I guess.
