tarotgalThought about Lily and the Marauders...
I was thrilled to find out a couple of days ago about Remus' line concerning his loving Lily... but now I'm not so thrilled. I mean, I love the idea of them all loving her (or at least having crushes to some extent) and I think of them all, Remus was the closest in mindset to her(the studiousness, the not particularly into torturing others thing, etc.). I've even read a couple fics where they were more than friends... and others where they were very very close friends... and I don't mind them much at all.
But now I just get this odd feeling in my stomach when I think of it. I'm not sure why. I'd like to say it's because I see him as totally gay and not bi... but I'm not sure that's it. I think my problem with it lies in the fact that there are two clues for future books in the movies (um, I'm guessing one is the Ron/Hermione implications throughout) but the other... I don't really know. I know JKR said we'd not be left wanting as far as the marauders and their past is concerned (so as not to need prequel books *pout*) but I just... I dunno... I'm not sure where I'm going with this... it's just an odd feeling I get now every time I think of it. I LIKE the idea of the Marauders loving her and welcoming her into their pack... but pre-James/Lily affections, I think, are another thing altogether. Maybe that's it? Maybe I'm OTPing James and Lily for some reason??? Maybe I can't see Lily with anyone but James? I dunno why, I sort of like bi-James as well (Marauder orgy!!!) but... hmmm... yeah, I just get a weird sensation every time I read over that line again. Maybe it'll be different once I hear him say it in the movie. I just... I dunno. I think I'm just interested and worried all at once.
I had something much better worked out... but it's hours past bedtime and I lost it. So, yeah, never mind, really. I just feel weird about that line. And I keep going back and forth between loving and hating it.
But there are more important things to be focused on! I'm still frustrated about them misspelling Remus' name. I mean, seriously folks, how hard is 'Moony'? I'm a horrible speller and even I can manage that one! *grumble* LOL
On another note... I woke up a couple mornings ago to find Ewan on ER *deep sigh* Wish I had been able to tape it... I'll have to watch the repeats like a hawk for the next time it comes around! I love that man to death. And that's the first thing I ever saw him in, all those years ago *G*
And then I opened the Post to find a whole article and interview with Thewlis (plus a couple horribly unattractive photos I'd seen before) But in case you hadn't read it online, I wanted to type one part of the interview up. Thewlis: "I felt an enormous responsibility because internationally there's a real passion among kiddies for these books. When I went online to do research about werewolves and stuff, I found all this e-mail chat saying things like, 'Who is this playing Professor Lupin? We want someone good-looking, like Jude Law!'" heehee! What's worse is he knew people found him less attractive and he STILL agreed to the child-molesting moustache! Boggles the mind, doesn't it?! :-)
