Through all my gushing over Deathly Hallows, I've neglected my other favorite ship, Sirius/Remus. ( Some thoughts, vaguely spoilery )

It so is canon! Lupin was miserable ever since Sirius disappeared! He got married too fast, he felt terrible about it, he needed a kid to make him realize he was being an ass, he died and then looked happy again reunited and it feels so good. Dude, our ship is canon and ALIVE. Hahahaha. :P

You bettah believe it.

I hope you had a nice dinner.

I had a bowl of lettuce and a handful of Cheerios. I need to go food shopping. :P

No, I'm hungry. Fortunately, tomorrow I'm meeting a friend at one of my favorite restaurants and we're going to talk Potter! :)

I could care less whether my ships are canon or not. That's not why I like them.

So, in a word, I agree.

You couldn't, you mean. ;)

I was just thinking of the way some shippers truly expected S/R to become canon, and how they whined and accused Rowling of all kinds of horrible things when it didn't.

Er, yes, that. ;P

Yeah, the whiners are silly. JKR is pretty cool, but she's not gonna say "hey kids, Remus has sex with guys!"

Slash has been subtextual in most fandoms for, what, 40 years? I think it'll survive a while longer without being canon. XD

Exactly.

And also, that's not what the books were about. If it had made some sort of narrative sense, okay. It would have been nice, of course, but I'm not greatly bothered by the fact that all the couples on Harry's radar were straight.

Yes.

*happy sigh*

I love that angsty wrongly accused escape gay convict and his passive-aggressive werewolf boyfriend.

I'm picturing this sort of geekily cute kid with weird hair.

*ships Teddy/Victoire*

*isn't sure how to pronounce Victoire*

The more things went on, the more convinced I was it WAS canon, honestly.

Well, it's still canon-compliant, I say.
