Remus

[elaby]

It occurs to me that I don't think I've ever seen any Remus artwork that looks like the Remus in my head. I have serious doubts that I could draw him myself the way I see him, but I think I must try sometime.

There's a huge trend among the Japanese fan contingent that Remus is very blond with a long, thin ponytail, and I really never imagined him at all like that. I also didn't imagine him like David Thewlis, though he did a fantastic job. I was wondering if any of you more diligent fans than I out there remembers whether Remus's facial scars are mentioned anywhere in the books? I don't remember them, but I could have missed it or forgotten it.

At the car repair place today there was a sign for somethingorother, which had the brand name Sirius. Hee. The logo was a cute little white doggy with a black star over its eye.

He doesn't. And that he does in fanF and fanA annoys me a little, because, surely, if he had facial scars students would have noticed and talked and probably put two and two together.

Dude, I so agree with you. It doesn't particularly bother me that some people put them in art/fic, but the fact that some people now view it as "canon" and ask "where are his scars?" when people don't put them in does.

Hee! I bet they're the same people who see him as a big ole Alpha Wolf.

I'm alwys confusing canon with fanon these days. It all sort of blends after a while.

It really does. I kept having to ask whether Snape was canonically being a double-agent Death Eater before book six came out.
