#newt MATTERS

[uefb]

I’m having feelings about Fantastic Beasts ending: a neurodivergent perspective

I’ll be honest - Every time I think too hard about how the Fantastic Beast franchise may very well inevitably be discontinued, I get this grief in my heart that makes me sick in my gut. 

I can hardly believe I found a character that was so relatable to me (Newt), and that he is--quite probably--already being taken away.

Because, what? Because the last movie--released during a pandemic and in the middle of various creator/actor-related scandals--took in less money than the others? Even when that’s more money than most of us could ever dream of even touching in our lives? 

(I’m sure it is more complicated than that, but creativity and identity under capitalism is wild.)

I don’t have to like the 4th film--I’ve never inherently agreed with all of JKR’s creative choices, even as a child*--but I want Newt Scamander’s story...

I WANT AN AUTISTIC WIZARD.

I want Jewish witches.**

I want a Black American witch’s story.

I’m vaguely interested in Bunty’s, and I want Jacob and Queenie’s relationship to push the boundaries in the existing in-universe political schema.

Gosh, I even want the complicated, ill-fated, queer tragedy!!***

But seriously... 

Don’t take away the first hero I’ve truly related to since Hermione Granger in 1998.

It took me 30+ years for me to NOT HATE MYSELF for being like Newt Scamander.

I want to see the end of his story.

(And all the kids out there now who were like me 20 years ago deserve that, too.)

That is all.

*and certainly not her wackadoodle gender politics ones now, as a grown queer, autistic adult **even if we’re not going to explicitly talk about that in the film because it gets too complicated with the next asterisk /eyeroll ***though I could do without the seeming sanitizing of interwar Europe, i.e., Grindelwald seemingly replacing the Muggle political struggle (and ultimate genocide) via clumsy allegory

I'm a firm believer in the newt scamander and remus lupin friendship agenda

so good omens. hm. truly I dont know how to feel. this is the most well executed cash grab i think ive ever seen. like. oh for sure this season Should Not Exist. but neil and presumably a lot of other people looked at it and thought. well that could make a lot of money. and like, these are people who can write and make good tv, like its not bad! its just the most patiently obvious cash in i think ive ever seen. it’s a completely different show. its.. fine. its taking all the things the rabid fans said they wanted and just giving it to them. and like. theyre just gonna keep going you guys asked for a straight drama romance and your going to get it. theyve committed to it now. and theyve done everything right like, there’s nothing truly offensive about it. and for those mad about the cliffhanger guys this is pat and parcel for romance shows they want to make money theyre gonna milk it for all its worth. they cant just live happily ever after, if they did we wouldnt have a season 2 in the first place. truly the right thing to have done with the story was to just have them kiss at the end of season 1 and never touch it again. but now we have this. cool.

Robin: so uh. some news. I'm pregnant.

Newt: you're what?!

Robin: I know! I didn't even think that could happen after my default settings were changed! not that I'm opposed to kids, but I think we could make that spare bedroom a nursery, which actually your sister thought so too so we bought some stuff but I don't know now if that was okay -

Newt:

Newt: watcher, I'm not ready for this shit.

tonight's flavour of ana thoughts are ana and the outdoors. she's got some of the same curiousity towards finding new places as her sister - gets her own enjoyment from exploring outside, but rather than taking snapshots of the places she sees, ana just loves finding them - a whole new view she's never previously seen.

finding the right spot to get a view of the landscape surrounding her? there's nothing like it. and on top of that, hiking, exploring outside is a chance for her to get away from it all. it takes a lot of coordination for her to get the free time to do it, and she doesn't do it often, but she'll find a local walking trail, sort herself some food, and plan her entire adventure out. in particular, though, she's always had this love and fascination with the night sky: partically how when you get away from the city, there's so much less light pollution. she's had a couple opportunites to be out in a car at night, and each time she's leaning out of that passenger window completely starry-eyed. in an ideal world, she'd keep loving those starry skies forever. she'd keep going on hikes, going camping, trying to bring anyone she considers close and treasured along.

but ultimately, the events of newt change that. you just can't feel safe under that sky anymore, when you got snatched from the safety of your old life under it too.

For years I struggled to design a logo (+watermark) for myself that I actually liked. Design school really had drilled it into my brain that ALL logos have to be "sleek" & "clean" otherwise they're not good - and to that I say Fuck That bc this one fucks severely. 🤘🔥

There's just something about Newt's death scene (in the movies) thats insane to me.

He's fighting himself. He's fighting Thomas. He tries to shoot himself but Thomas throws the gun away. (As if throwing away what happened in the books. The option of Newt getting shot - nevermind Thomas pulling the trigger - isn't even a possibility. Thomas HIMSELF threw away that option.) And then - as they are somewhere between a vicious fight and a desperate grapple - Thomas hugs Newt. And Newt stabs himself IN THE HEART. As if Thomas' love is the thing that kills Newt.
