Oh God, and 80 year age difference! Who cares if they're old people; what's gross is that Mcgonnagal kissed a man old enough to be her great-great-grandfather!
Kind of reminds me of my parents getting back from their second honeymoon and my mom continually saying "Hot monkey sex!" when she walks into the room to embarass my father and bother me.
I was reading somewhere recently where someone kept going on and on and on about all the Tonks/Lupin subtext and how it was just so obvious and I just had to look at it and go... erm... wha?
'Cause even if you don't ship Sirius/Remus, I still can't see where there's any hint of Tonks/Remus lovin' anywhere. Can someone explain this to me, please?
And I'm so very afraid of reading any fic that has Tonks as a character. She was cool in canon and all, but the potential for OOC-ness is just so very *there*.
I suppose it could be worse, though. It could be Umbridge seeing the error of her ways and getting a makeover. *shudders dramatically*
>She was cool in canon and all, but the potential for OOC-ness is just so very *there*.
That is so true. As soon as Rowling described her special witch-powers, I thought to myself, /There's going to be a shitload of Tonks-style Sues now, aren't there./ The same goes for taking Tonks OOC.
Actually, now that I think of it, it's kind of funny. Tonks has a Mary Sue name, did you ever notice? ^^ But she hates it, so she has everyone refer to her by her surname~ Yes, I was rather amused by that. ^^
It is sort of a Mary-Sueish name, but the whole Black family has star names and other archaic names, so it's not so out of place. Have we had any metamorphagus (sp?) Sues here yet?

Thank you. This has officially been the most frightening day of my life, and that just added to it.

Let's put it this way--it's not the worst Sue I've ever read.

Have you posted a Tonks-Sue here yet? You've not known horror until you've seen OOC-Tonks/Lupin...
