uhhhh when we first see lupin & sirius they look like they are sharing a chair, straight up […]
omg when remus is telling harry “the last time Voldemort gained power he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear”, the shot switches to sirius looking penitent, gawd this film is so shippy!
These observations make my wag my puppyshipping tail.

“Please note that sometimes gay characters die in fiction because in fiction...”
– Bury Your Gays - Television Tropes & Idioms
We were talking about this earlier :)
How is it I always end up looking up gay tropes when I come intend to research something completely different?

Dear Joanne Rowling,
why was Remus staying at the house with Sirius during the Order of the Phoenix?

All roads lead to DH. I’m glad so many people name it as a favourite; it shows that they appreciate the scope of the series as a whole, and like how it concluded. I love the series as a whole … even though each book stands alone, the series is greater than the sum of it’s parts,...

jediwizardhobbit asked: Everything you keep saying about Tonks and the queerphobia and everything is so spot-on. And I love that you keep reblogging with other people's opinions too, it's enlightening to see what others think of one of my favorite characters.

rereadingharry:
I, personally, am not capable of turning a blind eye to the way JKR has addressed — or failed to address — queerness, and specifically homosexuality, being a lesbian myself. But I don’t think directing anger at her is helpful — she’s a human, she’s not perfect, and her politics aren’t either.
The fact is, it belongs to her, all of it, and I don’t feel it’s my...

These guys are awesome. I wish I could thank each one, personally, for speaking up.

I love Harry because he doesn’t feel properly. Is that the best place to start? I know that doesn’t make sense (yet), but I don’t even know how to begin with this boy, so let’s start there. See, the thing about Harry is that he grows up in a cupboard. Sorry, let me state that again — he grows up in a cupboard. There’s no sunlight. There’s dust and spiders and two feet of...

proseandcons:
come to think of it, maybe she was gay, and theirloveissocanon after all.
that would please me.
#hp needz moar queerz <- Not a day goes by when I don’t think this.
And I totally thought Tonks was gay at first, too. I love OotP!lezzie!Tonks.
But I currently believe in gender-queer!Tonks. And the fluidity of sexual preference. And theirloveissocanon.
