Im trying to think how the fuck Tonks actually fell in love with Marlene and I also cannot.... like they're in love but they're not
Tonks is disgusted with Marlene's attitude and way of living, because Marlene doesn't care, like she cares but she doesn't
She'll say she stands for things, she in theory does, but she doesn't act on them. She's passive about it all and that infuriates Tonks
Cause Tonks can't just watch everything around them and not do anything about it?? Like, she knows that if everyone says that they stood for something but did nothing about it, nothing would actually fucking change
Yet, she's found herself in an (on and off) relationship with someone who's exactly the opposite of everything she stands for
Maybe it's because she remembers that first moment she saw Marlene yelling at a coach over how he was treating the younger players and felt something spark in her at the girl
Like she knows Marlene can do it, she can be something, she just chooses not to
Or maybe what's worse than choosing not to, she doesn't want to
