[[The way Tonks handled being unable to be in a relationship with Remus was sickening. When she was wallowing in the fact that he wouldn’t date her it annoyed me. Women, should not just sit around feeling sorry for themselves because of a man. If a guy doesn’t return their feelings, screw him. Her actions made me lose respect for her as a character. From then on I felt as though Remus deserved someone like an older version of Hermione or even Hermione herself.]]
oh dear did tonks get in the way of your creepy inappropriate ship?
Tonks’ cousin (who had been unjustly incarcerated) was dead, killed by her own psychopathic aunt (who she had failed to defeat earlier) before his name could be cleared. Her world went to war, and people started dying and disappearing at a rapid rate, with her unable to do anything about it despite being an Auror and a member of the Order. And yes, the man she loved had not only rejected her, but had taken up a mission that had a high risk of him getting killed by the same man who’d attacked him as a child and cost him his health and self-esteem - and that lack of health and the resulting lack of employment and self-esteem was the reason he was rejecting her in the first place. Not to mention the obvious mental health issues running through her mother’s side of the family. But this fandom just can’t get enough of saying ‘Gee Tonks, you suck for having feelings, especially for a man.’
Speaking of Hermione… when the man she loved walked away from her during a war, I seem to recall her shedding her fair share of tears and being less than upbeat. I also seem to recall her physically striking her loved one in rage when he returned.
