Remadora being all lovey-dovey 🥰❤️💖

'Fixing' this scene

Harry looked at the calm faces of Remus and Dora and smiled through his tears. He slowly walked over to the two lying down and knelt down. He reached out and grasped their cold hands in his and joined them. Finally, he stood up and stepped back with a soft, sweet smile. "And there you go, Moony."

More Remadora cuteness for u🥰

"You are a good dancer, Remus. A really good one~"

"Are you flirting with me, Miss Nymphadora?"

"For Merlin's sake, we're a bloody married couple!"

"Oh, yes, it was certainly a flirt!"

I ship Wolfstar

...

i did not deserve to be called out like that

Nymphadora Tonks Headcanons

probably an aries?

vegan

bisexual she/her or they/them

5'5"

adhd

closer to Ted. they are very similar

has a bit of a tricky relationship with Andromeda but they love eachother always

never changes her main appearance unironically apart from her hair

has a resting smile on her face

honestly she is so sweet

and really cool

everyone wants to be her friend

prankster (nearly marauders or weasley twin level)

best friends with Charlie Weasley

her parents were already friends with Molly and Arthur because they were in the same year and all became closer after Hogwarts

makes her hair ginger whenever she goes to the Burrow

definetely very close with Ginny

she is a big sister figure to her

like people always say Ginny is cool because of Fred and George but they're wrong. it's all Tonks lmao

i think maybe Ginny even learned her signature Bat-Bogey Hex from Tonks

and perhaps her Quidditch skill

think she picked Muggle Studies because she finds the topic very interesting, but neither of her parents did it (Ted is Muggleborn and Andromeda was raised as a Pure-Blood elitist)

she's on the Hufflepuff Quidditch team since 4th year

Sprout physically could not make her a prefect tho

despite this the first years all look up to her, she is very nurturing

uses humour as a coping mechanism

in her fifth year she was mocked for her Auror ambition

even her mum said "are you sure you don't want to try something less.... difficult?"

this cemented her ambition, she wanted to prove them all wrong

she took Charms, DADA, Transfiguration, Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures in her sixth year

she gets all the grades she needs

while in Auror training she is introduced to Mad-Eye Moody

everyone is all scared to speak to him whereas Tonks just says "Mad-Eye Moody, wassup"

and its the beginning of a beautiful friendship

she is also quite close with Kingsley

during her time in the Order, Molly becomes Tonks' closest friend

definetely thought Remus was the cute marauder before she ever met him

i mean wolfstar is my otp but i love remadora two

just two bi disasters who found love uwu

she nearly lost control of her powers when Ted died but thanks to Remus, her mum and Molly, she managed to stay strong for her baby

also i think the only reason Teddy wasn't a werewolf is because Tonks was a metamorphmagus which dominated the werewolf gene

I can imagine Tonks just hugging Remus's wolf form to sleep 🤧 and that makes me cry

this is remadora to me

Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks

I only stan Remadora in the sense that Remus and Tonks wanted to commit tax fraud and happened to be in the same area.

How did they get Teddy if this is the case?

Tonks: GET IN THE CAR WE'RE STEALING A CHILD FROM AN ABUSIVE HOUSEHOLD

Lupin: Great, I'll pin it on Greyback.

Sirius, completely speechless:

listen, I know that technically remus and tonks are a straight couple but nothing and I mean NOTHING seems straight about this relationship

an old sketch of my beloved puppies

Awww

Clever, brave and funny, pink-haired Nymphadora Tonks was a protégée of Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody, the toughest and most grizzled Auror of them all.

Remus, so often melancholy and lonely, was first amused, then impressed, then seriously smitten by the young witch. He had never fallen in love before.

Thoughts about Remus Lupin's (love) life

Remus Lupin having his first kiss with Sirius as teenagers and both of them feeling extatic and happy. Many years later, Remus Lupin having his first ever kiss with a girl when he kissed Tonks and him feeling a kind of happiness he thought he had lost forever when Sirius died.

Remus Lupin and Sirius being secret lovers during their time at hogwarts. Everyone knows it but no one mentions it, except for James maybe and Lily sometimes.

Remus Lupin and Sirius Black being in love but also being torn apart by the first war and all their insecurities.

Remus Lupin never really getting over losing all his friends in one night.

Remus Lupin thinking he has lost everything and everyone.

Remus Lupin and Sirius slowly connecting again after all these years.

Sirus Black lying low at Lupins. (no i’m not gonna make a pun. no.)

Remus Lupin being heartbroken after what happened in the department of mysteries.

Remus Lupin thinking he will never love anyone again like he loved Sirus.

Remus Lupin being proven wrong by Tonks.

Tonks caring about Remus and understanding him and his needs and loving him with all her heart because she’s awesome like that.

Remus Lupin loving Tonks very much - in a different way from how he loved Sirius but no more or less, just different.

Remus Lupin being bisexual.

There you have it. Now let there be peace between those ships because I like them both and I don’t get why someone would think you have to decide between them. Obviously for me it would still have to be wolfstar duuuh but that’s not the point of this post.

I've been thinking about how much I adore Tonks and Remus' dynamic but physically cannot ship them because my brain is being weird about their fucking age gap. this is so frustrating. they would have been so lovely for me if Tonks was like at least 27 in 5th book. Ronks (yeah I'm not calling it Remadora, Tonks hates her birth name ffs) would have been my ride-or-die alongside Jily and Wolfstar for sure.

because literally nothing else that Ronks antis consider deal breakers for them matters to me - not the fumbled way they get together in canon, not them getting married so quickly, not Tonks getting pregnant, not the assumed queer-coding of both characters (which I personally see, don't get me wrong. but it's assumed and who the fuck says they can't be queer4queer anyway?). sure, the nuclear family narrative being pushed so quickly and thoroughly onto them is peculiar but who says they didn't want to make the most of their time during a war? I love wartime drama and they would have been my shit if it weren't for... well. Tonks being 22 and Remus 35 when they meet.

I just can't ship big age gaps unless the youngest character is closer to 30 than 20. which is infuriating, because Ronks is objectively more fascinating because of their gap. my fucking loss, don't you think?

anyway, after thinking of ways I can make Tonks older without hurting the story, I began wondering whether her age is narratively important, and yes, turns out it very much is - for Harry.

Tonks being 22 in order of phoenix makes her the closest of Order members to Harry's age (Weasley twins don't count because they're Ron's brothers first, order members second for Harry) and the one Order member Harry can relate to the most in his youth and desire to fight. She almost perfectly parallels marauders and Lily in first war and represents the fun of the fight, the fire of youth, the confidence of a new recruit, the safety of relatability for Harry. She's one of the biggest inspirations for his newfound dream of becoming an auror. Harry needs Tonks among those older, battle-worn, cautious, secretive adults who don't take him seriously and never look him in the eye, because he wants to be what she is even before realising it and only reflects on it after spending time with her.

all in all, Tonks being 22 matters quite a lot for Harry's story.

now, we have no way of knowing whether Joanne came up with Ronks storyline prior to Tonks' introduction, but it shouldn't matter for their relationship, not in Joanne's opinion - Tonks' youth already fulfilled its narrative role in order of phoenix and stopped being an important asset of her character in half-blood prince.

oh, but unfortunately it still matters in the grand scheme of things, Joanne. you don't just introduce a young adult character (I'm 21 myself and gods, 22/23 is barely more mature), chuck their established age out the window and pair them up with a character in their mid-to-late thirties. and of fucking course it makes sense for a 23 year old to be down bad for some scruffy 36 year old man, it's incredibly realistic! this 36 year old man acting upon such crush is a little questionable, but still realistic (and we know Remus is very flawed, so I'm not surprised). but you know what isn't realistic at all?

Molly - a 46 year old woman, married to her high school sweetheart, mother to 7 children, 3 of which are close to Tonks' age - being extremely supportive of actually engaging in that sort of relationship, going as far as reprimanding Remus for not committing to it. I'm sorry, what? Molly might have some flaws as a mother, but she is nothing if not protective of her kids and those in their age range. She genuinely becomes somewhat of a mother figure for Tonks during their time in the Order, and I just cannot for the life of me understand how Molly could encourage her to pursue Remus and vice-versa, instead of consoling Tonks in her tragic crush and making sure Remus doesn't even look at her like that.

Minerva - an even older woman who taught both Remus and Tonks at Hogwarts, witnessed Remus becoming an adult from his graduation in 1978 up until 1981, then saw an 11 year old Tonks start Hogwarts 3 years later in 1984 - chiding Remus for not being "brave" enough to commit to such relationship. first of all, why the fuck is she involved in that narrative at all? it's none of her business??? she's not in any pseudo parenting role for either of them, unlike Molly, so I never understood why she even has a place to voice her opinion about their romance. second of all, even if it was her business, Minerva - a professor who witnessed both Remus and Tonks grow up so many years apart - would realistically feel pretty weird about such relationship.

those aren't problems with the ship itself, but rather the way Joanne implemented their romance in the story. I think it would be more realistic if Ronks was some kind of fucked up forbidden romance from other characters' perspectives. the way everybody is so instantly supportive of them is quite jarring to me.

interestingly, when I read hp for the first time at 11 I was quite adamant in my belief that Tonks was in love with Molly up until that scene in half-blood prince. a very weird belief for a kid, I know. I just only liked girls at the time and was relating to Tonks quite a bit since her introduction, so I guess I unconsciously decided she was a lesbian even without knowing that term yet. I also had a crush on my teacher in 4th grade and she was quite similar to Molly... yeah, this girl was projecting too much. I didn't pick up on Remus' queer-coding until I fell down the rabbit hole of lgbt discourse at 14, but was pretty shocked to read about Tonks falling for a man at 11. she was so like me until she wasn't :) it's pretty funny to think about now.

in conclusion, I'm hella jealous of those of you who don't have weird brains and can enjoy Ronks to their fullest potential. their canon writing has its issues but they're more interesting for it, truly. I'll stay in my no fun corner, headcanoning them as lavender married, queer-platonic, bisexual besties co-parenting Teddy Alastor Tonks.
