still more about the Dumbles discussion
Oct. 21st, 2007 08:27 amThis is tangential to it but a commenter on ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
innerbrat's post corrected me on something and she's absolutely right: I've been complaining about how Sirius/Remus could have been given more textual support by keeping Remus mysteriously single for books 5-7 and then giving him a male partner in the epilogue (because he didn't die either). And instead JKR killed the one potential gay pairing in the series by having Remus wind up with Tonks.
The commenter pointed out that Tonks/Remus happening doesn't mean Remus/Sirius didn't happen; Remus could be bi. I totally overlooked that.
My only excuse is I was blinded by the horribleness of Remus/Tonks. He was so miserable the whole time and then suddenly having a baby makes everything OK. And then they die. And we hardly get to see anything about how Tonks felt throughout the whole thing; she must have been aware of how unhappy Remus was with her, through no fault of her own.
