their love? liekomgsocanon
so, i'm sitting here, thinking about sirius & remus. as one is wont to do if one is a blithering fangirl
so, aside from the embrace and the "old married couple" line and how seamlessly they worked together and the way sirius spoke with him when he was changing into the werewolf (which broke my heart) and, you know, all of that slashy stuff . . .
i was thinking about the scene when lupin says goodbye to harry. in the book, he says the word "werewolf". twice. he says he could have bit a student. in the film? nothing like that. he says something about it being discovered what he is, and that the owls will come because parents won't want . .and then i remember a pause . .someone like him teaching their children. it's hard to describe, but if you've seen it you know.
and i honestly don't see how anyone can believe that cuaron didn't intend a queer reading of that scene, it being discovered that the eccentric academic is homosexual, the parents will surely protest, he has to go away. that's not looking at the world through slashy goggles. that's subtext rapidly becoming text.
and then i love cuaron just a little bit more.
(by the way, when he was talking about lily? never even -occurred- to me to think of that in a shippy sense. i read it in an incredibly loyal friend sense.)
also, i really love the soundtrack. the first two annoyed me, but this one i'm listening to over and over. i. uh. should probably buy it. *applies for jobs* speaking of which . . ah, but that should be another entry.
