OKAY, SO, AS FAR AS ARBITRARY DEFINITIONS OF FANDOM SLANG, GO, what are the restrictions on "OTP"?

View Answers
You can only have one OTP per fandom. (eg. If you OTP Ron/Hermione you can only "ship" Harry/Ginny, not OTP them.)

You can only have one OTP per character. (eg. Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione can both be OTPs, but Ron/Hermione and Ron/Luna cannot.)

OTP just means something you ship really hard, regardless of overlap or conflict or number. (eg. Ron/Hermione and Ron/Luna OTP!)
29 (33.7%)
You can only have one OTP at all. (eg. RON/HERMIONE OR BUST)

Something else elaborate to be explained in the comments.

HE ONLY ABANDONED HER BECAUSE HE HATED HIMSELF

AND HE CLEARLY HATED HIMSELF A BIT TOO MUCH TO HAVE A FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP, SO HOW COULD HE HAVE EVEN MADE IT WORK WITH SIRIUS? HYPOTHETICALLY?

UM BUT SIRIUS HATED HIMSELF TOO THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT BEAUTIFUL, THEY WERE BOTH DYSFUNCTIONAL BUT THEY REMINDED EACH OTHER OF HAPPIER TIMES

SIRIUS WOULDN'T HAVE EXPECTED HIM TO GET MARRIED AND HAVE A BABY, TONKS WAS PUSHING ALL THESE HETERONORMATIVE EXPECTATIONS ON HIM.

SIRIUS HATED HIMSELF OUT OF GUILT. REMUS HATED HIMSELF FOR WHAT HE WAS. TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS.

AND WHO IS TO SAY THAT MARRIAGE WAS TONKS' IDEA? REMUS WAS CLEARLY THE MORE TRADITIONAL OF THE TWO. BESIDES, JKR MADE IT CLEAR THAT WIZARDS DO NOT CARE ABOUT SEXUALITY THE WAY MUGGLES DO.
