Countdown to small gifts 2/6: Head canon

[smallgiftsmods.livejournal.com]

First off, before you do anything else, head on over to yesterday's discussion post to introduce yourself! We've got both newcomers and long-time readers and participants this year, and we'd like to catch up and get to know you all.

Today: Tell us something about the version of Remus and Sirius that you enjoy reading, writing, or drawing. What's head canon for this pairing for you? Have you encountered any interpretations of these characters that have influenced your own? Are there aspects of canon (book or film) that you like to reinterpret, ignore, or downplay?

Oh my yes, I feel like they wouldn't be the PEA types. I can get behind a story where they are if it has a purpose, but in general not so much. Of course, I also tend to believe that unless a relationship is new, or you are amongst just some close friends, PDAs scream a need for attention or recognition, almost like people need to ask for acceptance. Mind, I also feel like there is an acceptable level of romantic interaction before it crosses that line. Hmmm... Wow I sound overly opinionated now... That wasn't the point at all. Mostly I was trying to say I agree with you before my mental train derailed into a field of poppies.

Be free! Opinionate! PDA is one of my pet peeves, probably because I'm so often third wheeling in my friendship group, it makes me feel awkward and unintentionally voyeuristic, like, why the hell are you octopussing each other all up in my field of vision, brahs?! Hand holding, arm draping, the odd (tongueless) kiss, and using each other as chairs (if you are short of actual chairs). These things are acceptable to me. Sorry, that was much more aggressive and ranty than I meant it. I'm nice really.

Hey, I started this rant. Besides, I completely agree with you, except for the being the third wheel part as I'm in a long term relationship... And also have no friends. I just feel like excessive PDA s are a cry for attention. I'll let a bit more slide if a relationship is new because new couples feel the need to touch all the time, but there comes a point where it starts to looks desperate.
