Homonum Revelio: Anonymous asked rereadingharry: “do you know which, if any, episodes of pottercast mention rl/sb?”

rereadingharry:

The Pottercast folk have always had very little to say about slash pairings, but there is a brief discussion on them in PotterCast 234: Good Ship Bad Ship. Since being asked this question, I went back, took a listen, and transcribed the R/S bit for you (here). They didn’t say anything new,…

Just so you know, that’s not the case at all; in fact, I would have been quite happy had Sirius and Remus ended up together. My friend David was pretty angry that they didn’t, and we had to console him. :) This is not the first time I’ve heard this, and I’m troubled to think it came off that way, that I didn’t note and fix that leaning in the text.

But back in the day, that was the main thrust of all the fanfiction. THEIR LOVE IS SO TORTURED AGGHGGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGH. :)

This post brought to you by extreme procrastination abilities.

Aha, thanks for going on record, Melissa Anelli. Awesome. And another lesson in the ambiguity of the written word.

There you have it, folks.

One of  three excerpts from PotterCast 234: Good Ship Bad Ship. Disclaimer 1: This conversation was difficult to transcribe as the PC Trio were frequently interrupting and talking over each other; therefore, in a small number of cases the wording may be inexact. Disclaimer2: Transcribed statements do not necessarily reflect my opinion.

rereadingharry:

Melissa Anelli: Sirius has permanent-stick-charmed everything in his room. He’s got a very alpha-male type room. Pictures of bikini clad muggles — basically playboy models — on the wall.
John Noe: Bikini girls! Whoo!
MA: And you can hear the hearts breaking, of all the slashers, for years.
JN: Oh, that’s right, yeah.
MA: Sirius was a hotly slashed guy.
JN: Well they’ll go ahead and say that it took him a few years; they’ll say that he discovered it after he left the Grimmauld Place.

Why hello, bi erasure and the notion that gay/bisexual dudes can’t be alpha males!

Bi erasure is really common in the refutation of slash ships! The whole business frustrates me. There is also the attitude that slashing characters is somehow perverting canon, that it’s all about people satisfying sexual fantasies which, when, no, it’s not always about that — just like ALL shipping, sometimes it’s about what’s sexy, but, before that, it’s about what love looks like.

EDIT: But I think MA was saying the Bikini Girls broke slashers hearts, not the alpha-maleness.

I like how she [Rita, JKR] avoided a ‘slash’ between Potter and Dumbledore when talking about ‘the Potter-Dumbledore relationship.’ Potter dash Dumbledore. It would be bad if she put the slash."

I honestly, personally, go silent because I have a little crush on Dan, so I get embarrassed to talk about him. It makes me shy and uncomfortable."

From Pottercast139...

  • Sue Upton: It was really Norberta: she's just a helpless sweet ...
  • Melissa Anelli: Norberta!
  • John Noe: It's a very progressive country over there.
  • SU: She had a little sex change and now she's Norberta.
  • MA: She did not have a change! They just know now that she's a female.
  • JN: Do you think she found acceptance among her peers immediately?
  • SU: I do!
  • JN: I wish I was there for the conversation with the parents, to be honest. "Well, I just always identified with the female dragons, in the town." "Oh, honey, we knew all along! Chin up." The dad's sittin' there, shuffling his feel awkwardly, blowin' smoke in the air.
  • SU: [ROFL] Blowing fire rings!
  • JN: Yeah, like "Really, Gerald, come on!"
  • MA: Smoke comin' out of his nose. Oh, dear.
  • JN: Poor Norbert, or Norberta.
  • SU: I mean, that's what I thought, I swear I thought that, oh, she's had a sex change, I'm not John Noe, I actually thought that, when I was like, what?
  • JN: Think about this: now, what is one of the hardest substances to cut through? What takes multiple wizard spell to penetrate the skin? What kind of knife short of a light saber is going to perform this operation?
  • MA: A light saber? And there was no operation! She was always a girl. Stop it.
  • SU: But how could, how could Hagrid not know that? Now, think about this, [...] You just have to check. I think Hagrid would know. [...]
  • MA: Well, let's be fair, Hagrid hasn't had that much interaction with dragons.
  • JN: I wanna see you lift a dragon upside-down and check its underbelly.
  • MA: We're not arguing this!

I like that we started to see the Harry-Sirius relationship immediately: you walk in, you see the look on their faces. If you didn’t know they were godfather and son … you might think there was something between them."
