Unpopular opinion #3 (since people seem to like these stuff)
I'm gonna get hate for this but
Hinny feels forced and out of nowhere to me.
They had the perfect set up for a cute romance. Best friend's younger sister whom he's used to take care of, but suddenly she grows, doesn't seek his attention anymore and he slowly gets to know her as her own person instead of his buddie's sister. He find himself drawn to her and feels guilty about it for the typical reasons, only to realize she feels the same way, always has, and boom, their feelings finally clash in a passionate kiss after months of sexual tension and years of mutual pining. Beautiful.
Or at least that's what could have been if we saw them interacting more after the Chamber of Secrets thing, but we don't. Ginny practically dissapears after that, we only know of her through others' pov, and when she finally becomes relevant in harry's radar is when she's dating other boys and shows her skills in the quidditch field. Then suddenly, he notices how beautiful and funny she is, even though they're from the same house and they've surely seen each other often, either at the Burrow or around the common room.
They don't have a proper built-up, or any relevant interactions that hints at harry's interest in her, at least not enough to showcase the epic endgame couple they're supposed to be. It feels to me like the recurring trope that when a girl is in love with the protagonist long enough, she's bound to end up with him. Or the when someone is in love with you for so long, you must give them a chance.
I think one of the reasons it pisses me off so much is ginny's wasted potential. Because we could have had an amazing and compelling story about personal growth with a girl that, sick of being in her brothers' shadow and overlooked, finds the courage to forge her own path and make people recognize her for who she is, not as another Weasley. A story where, instead of fooling around to "make time" until her crush to notices her, she moves on from him and starts to date boys because she actually likes them and enjoys dating.
But no. Instead, all that development from her part is reduced to "hermione told me you might like me if i acted more like myself" "she told me to date other boys" bla bla bla
In conclussion:
Hinny had great potential as a love story, but it was done poorly
(REMINDER: This is just my opinion, and by no means i intend to force it unto other people or offend anyone. if you like hinny as a couple, good for you. I won't attack you because of it)

What are some other Sanuso colorspreads that are your favorite?
Honestly, you could put Sanji and Usopp next to each other and that would instantly make it one of my favorite color spreads. So I'll just tell you about the ones I remember the most:
This one is iconic. Perfect in every way. Love the clothes. The vibes. They're just chilling. Besides, they all look so pretty too!! Usopp drawing is one of my weaknesses. And Sanji looks like he's having so much fun!! My beloveds <3
Of course, the one we talk about all the time because it implies Usopp painted on Sanji's precious hands.
Usopp having little to no self-control when it comes to his boyfriend's food.
Sanji looking at Usopp here like he's keeping an eye on him <3 Or side-eying him. Sometimes I'm not sure which one it is. Maybe both. Also, love Usopp's hat.
THE ARM. SANJI RESTING HIS ARM ON USOPP'S LEG. THEY MAKE ME GO INSANE. WHY WOULD YOU BE SO TOUCHY. GAY PEOPLE. HE'S SO PROUD OF HIS BOYFRIEND.
I am 100% sure Sanji would let Usopp cheat if he asked but he doesn't want to make him feel bad and Usopp doesn't ask so he just discretely lets him cheat.
Typical Usopp hiding behind his boyfriend because he's scared af.
I don't know what they're talking about but Usopp's eating Sanji's pizza and he's listening to what Usopp has to say and that makes me happy.
Sanji is definitely telling him about the recipe, extremely happy that Usopp is listening to him!
They're next to each other because they're boyfriends <3 "It's the order they joine-" shut up.
They're getting ready for a date <3
Usopp swimming in Sanji's direction !!
They're only next to each other here but idc. They look cute <3

i think one of my favorite things about chai is that yeah he’s a scott pilgrim/marty mcfly/ben tennyson/generator rex but instead of being solely a power fantasy or the chosen one or some guy you can project on he’s a character that can be enjoyed by anyone, whether you like the previous kinds of characters or whether you just want to watch a lovable idiot smash things with the power of friendship and a trash guitar

This thing went viral a couple years ago 'cuz it was very funny -- remember the dystopian techbro-villain covid helmet, anyone? -- but I immediately ordered one because it is a personal hepa-filtered air bubble and I am just.
Like.
Astoundingly allergic to wildfire smoke.
It's kept me off the hardcore steroids every summer since and, also important, has stopped me from becoming a basketcase filled with anxiety every June to October because now I know the bad air is no longer inescapable.
