I just read that when making the movie for Order of the Phoenix, that actors for Remus and Sirius were told their characters were gay, is that true?? I wasn't in the fandom when the movies were made

It was in Prisoner of Azkaban. After Dumbledore being gay was revealed, Remus’ actor David Thewlis said he was suprised because he played Remus as gay. The director Alfanso Cuaron described his character to him as a “gay junkie”. OOTP wasn’t out when they were filming so it was the directors interpretation.

Yeah, so think about Sirius’ “ you know the man you truly are, this heart is where you truly live” and Snape’s “quarrelling like an old married couple” lines in the light of that.

Though I’d like to say, the time between GOF and OOTP was long and after POA online HP communities were brimming with Wolfstar. People were convinced that R/S was intentional. JKR was aware of this, she even sent one ff site a cease and desist letter. She didn’t like people shipping Wolfstar and she didn’t like being asked if Sirius was gay. The abrupt Remus/Tonks and Sirius’ death in OOTP read differently in that context imo.

must a fictional relationship be “healthy” or “functional”? is it not enough to simply watch two made up people destroy each other, hand in unlovable hand???

“ATYD Remus is too aggressive ATYD Remus is too mean” ATYD Remus hates the Smiths. My Remus would never.

"slytherin skittles" this "the pantheon" that did you know that those people already have a group name in canon??? the death eaters!!!!!!

About to start spreading the Straight Ally James Potter agenda

[solemilyswear]

Canon Sirius: No one is inherently good or evil. Death Eaters are people too with the same ability of loving and suffering that we who stand on the opposite side of the war have, Harry. It's their decisions that are wrong, but they're still people.

Fanon Sirius: Slytherins are all sneaky snakes. What Harry, you were almost put in Slytherin? Now I'm donating all my money to charity, you potential snake do not deserve it

Remus should have fought harder for Sirius and Harry!

No, but... how do you know he didn't? Canon is absoluely silent on it. What we know is that Remus didn't see Harry again until he taught at Hogwarts. Canon tells us nothing about what he was doing during this time.

We also know that Dumbledore had Hagrid pick Harry up from Godric's Hollow on October 31 and fly him straight to the Dursley's house. Hagrid tells us that he went straight there on the bike he borrowed from Sirius Black. Harry was placed with his aunt and uncle, by Dumbledore's order, and kept so completely unaware of magic that he didn't have a clue that magic--magic that he could do, by the way--was real until a giant burly man knocked on a shack in the middle of the lake on his birthday.

Harry was hidden by the most powerful, well respected wizard of the time. Sirius was blamed and put in Azkaban without a trial. This is already a terrible starting pace to *finding* and *rescuing* them, even if Remus had the capability to do so.

Remus is not Harry's godfather, he's got no means to care for Harry, and he's got once a month that he knows without a doubt that Harry is in more danger with him than without. Perhaps he knew that Harry was with his aunt and uncle, but no one suspected that the Durselys would abuse Harry as they did. Even if they hated magic, no one expected them to turn him into the boy in the cupboard under the stairs. That's perposterous. It's unthinkable.

Remus has no power. He's a kid with a wand and very little else. He doesn't have a name, he doesn't have money, he doesn't even have a clean bill of health. If he's going to try to get Sirius out and Harry back, he's going to go to the most powerful wizard he knows. Which, after the War, is Dumbledore.

Dumbledore received numerous awards for whatever it was he did during and at the end of the war. He received honors. He was the only one that Voldemort ever feared. he was given designations and authority, and no one really questioned him.

So Remus goes to him and pleads for his help. Let Sirius out, he demands. You know Sirius would never do this to James. He would never do this to Peter. They were his friends. Dumbledore says I didn't think he would either, and yet their dead. Remus says give him a trial, because there must be an explanation. Dumbledore tells him that Sirius laughed hysterically on the way to Azkaban. Sirius confessed, he says. "It's my fault their dead," Sirius says, because he believed it to be true, and they accepted his confession.

Remus begs, but Dumbledore tells him it's settled. Who is Remus to fight Dumbledore? Perhaps he tires, perhaps it's hopless. Or, perhaps, he asks to have contact with Harry. Even if he can't care for him, because no one would trust the boy who lived with a werewolf, let him at least have contact with Harry. Harry deserves to know his parents. Dumbledore tells him no. It will be too confusing for the boy. It will be dangerous if you bring death eaters with you. It's better for him if he grows up believing he is a member of that family. it is better for him if he doesn't have contact with you.

Remus has los everything, and the only person that he thought might help him has turned him away.

Remus has nothing left. He has no one left. No one will listen to him if Dumbledore is against him, and everyone is celebrating while Remus can only think of what he's lost.

What did he do for the next fourteen years? Personally, I think he left the country. Traveld the world as a magical creature exterminator for hire. He had nothing left in England. Why would he stay? Perhaps he didn't even keep track of the years--what do they matter anyway--until he gets a letter from Dumbledore asking him to come back.

He has nothing else. Why not return? Perhaps it's safe for Harry to know who he is, now. He just has to get on the train the morning after the full moon, but it's fine. he can sleep all the way there.

lily evans is the family disgrace. the one with magic, best friends with the scruffy kid from the family everyone else avoids, the girl kisser, the daughter that sneaks out to watch rock bands perform at a pub hours away, the anti government protester, the smoker, the one with tattoos, the young mother with a bastard son

This is Remus with the other marauders, actually

the key to understanding kermit is that line from the original muppet series where lesley anne warren is like "i thought you were the only person here who wasn't crazy" and kermits like "me not crazy? i hired the others" that guy loves chaos. he loves crazy shit, and he loves being the guy who has to handle the crazy shit. he deliberately creates these circumstances! he puts himself in these positions! and then he's like "i cant believe youre making me do this." anyway that frog is more human than any of us

everyone hates orange until they actually see her in context. "oh it's such an ugly color, too bright!" look at sunsets and autumn, look at campfires and deserts. she's the most beautiful and special part of the scene. now apologize.
