ooc: Remus/Sirius reasonings and my take on the 'ship.
After being questioned about my 'ship after a friend of mine had asked me just why already, I decided to write this out. It's basically my reasonings behind being a supporter of Remus/Sirius. I'm also a supporter of Remus/Tonks, of course, but since that's canon I never get any WTF? expressions or questions

There was nothing ever detailed about it.
As much as I wanted it, after reading OoTP, I was extremely dissapointed with the way that it was handled. I expected more.
We got nothing.
Which is why I like playing my Tonks set in OoTP. She's fun. She's carefree. She can shag anyone she wants. :D

And I agree as well, on Remus and Tonks being friends during OotP because I can't imagine Remus hooking up with someone later that he barely knows either. So he would have started to trust her at some point early on, you know? And like I said, I 'ship both, so I look for possibilities for both as well. Like, yeah even if in my head I imagine Remus and Sirius together, Remus would have started to feel something for Tonks as well because Sirius also kept to himself a lot while at Grimmauld so (in my opinion) Tonks and Remus got to get to know each other as well ( ... )

I agree though. I don't think she could have just been lovesick and that is all that was going on. It blows that Jo basically turned her into the girl and had her lose what made her so awesome. But I love teh Dora and I choose to have my own views on what has her that way. They actually pretty much line up with your views.
And word on Remus/Tonks not having to sink anyone's ship. But then, if people are creative? No pairing has to sink another pairing's ship. That is the beauty of writing in fandom.

I was in this one RP that it's shtick was that it was set in the real world. It was fine. Most of the players were really good as far as the technical stuff was concerned. However, most of the muns were also assholes.
Anyway, the girl that played Remus gave him AIDS instead of lycanthropy which is fine. It's the route I would have gone but whatever. It fit with the game.
Well, the Saturday the book came out and before I could even finish it, she IMs me and tells me that she was sure that I was aware of how HPB turned out but there was no way that Remus and Tonks would be getting together.
I just love how she assumed that I would want to do that. Of course this same person also thinks that the History Channel doesn't answer the question of history. >_

1. Oh yes. And that also hits hard, because her first eight years were during the war. The wizarding community was sliding back to the fears and tensions she knew as a child. That's spooky.
2. YES. Oh yes. Absolutely and completely. I know Tonks in my head most definitely blames himself for not being good enough to stop Bellatrix and instead got pwned.
3. And she's a responsible witch, and takes on a herself to do a lot. - ... it's interesting how her skills don't get damaged - she can apparate, which is presumably hard, and do all her Auror and Order work all right... but it's her inborn ability that's lost. Stress? Hell yeah.
4. In my view, it was cooked up during OotP because it didn't just happen out of the blue - but it wasn't spoken about till the very end, probably past the Battle at the Department of Mysteries. And then with both of them grieving, it wasn't a conversation that was intended to be that, it just... went that way. FAR that way. But - Remus is a very private person, whatever he was ( ... )
