Lips parted, eyes closed, head down. Gellert's longing evident. He shows more vulnerability than Albus whenever jumps from being cruel to friendly. Part of him didn't assume how much he loves that man and struggles to demonstrate and to hide it. As if young Gellert was still there, fighting against his villain self for Albus. Look, he couldn't break the physical touch, his love language

you have no idea how much I love this moment. Imagine how happy he must have been to see Albus again.

Falling in love the Newt Scamander way.

I’m so sorry-how would you feel if I gave you your copy in person?

I need to see you again

See, in reality they have this effect in them, Tina. It’s like fire in water, dark water. I’ve ever only seen that. I’ve ever only seen that in-

I’m falling for you

You did something to your hair- Well it suits you.

I am head over heels in love with you.

I can’t believe I went into the newest Fantastic Beasts movie expecting the only mention of Grindelwald’s and Dumbledore’s relationship being that one scene in the restaurant and having my whole world flipped upside down. Holy shit was I surprised. Not only was that the FIRST scene but their relationship was literally mentioned in every other scene.

Literally me during the credits:

i think we all know who the REAL star of season 3 is

i'm making a vague attempt to pace out this season by doing a drawing after each episode, so anyway here's my new fave character

[saltiestgempearl]

Finally saw Fantastic Beasts 3, and it was actually quite good! Very happy they weren’t coy about Dumblredore being gay and didn’t make it unrequited.

Also very pleased that the creature who only bows to those pure of heart bowed to Dumbledore, because given everything else we’ve learned about him at this point, that’s pretty definitive proof that “pure of heart” does not here mean “perfect” or “uncorruptable” or even “has never done some very sketchy things.” It’s a statement of potential.

The whole movie had a big theme of “it’s never too late to try and do the right thing” and I appreciate that immensely.

I can’t help but laugh that the most British thing in ‘Chain of Thorns’ is James muttering “Sod that,” before chaotically firing his pistol at the lock on his and Cordelia’s bedroom door so they can have sexy times.

[dumbledore-and-grindelwald]

Remember the old interviews of Rowling saying that Gellert is like Albus’ ‘dark twin’, a morally bankrupt version, and the several times she’s mentioned that they saw in each other qualities that they shared with no one else? 

Now, think of the Qilin’s walk. Gellert can only be chosen by the dead/corrupt Qilin but he craves to be chosen by the real one. He believes in the righteousness of his cause and he always sees himself and Albus as equals. When the real Qilin chooses Albus he’s not even angry because he does not oppose that choice. He understands it. Yet he genuinely believes that he’s the best of the other candidates.

When the Qilin chose Santos, Gellert didn’t just snap because he lost the election. There was something very specific in the wording of Albus’ plea for a second choice: “Just as two of you were born that night, there’s another here, equally worthy.” Gellert always sees himself and Albus as binary stars and he cannot stand how the Qilin as an ‘impartial judge’ disrupts this idea because he feels that it’s one of the last threads that his connection to Albus is hanging from. 

Before that, when the alive Qilin is calling out to the dead one, Newt says: ‘She can’t hear you little one, not here, but perhaps somewhere she’s listening’. Considering how FB works a lot with metaphors, it breaks me to think how Albus too tries to make Gellert hear him, in the sense of seeing reason. There is something broken in twisted in Gellert too, so he can’t ‘hear’ Albus right then, but some part of him IS listening and that’s the very part that will come to the surface when he will ultimately surrender and show remorse.

Hmmm thinking about the keyblade graveyard matchups. Kairi's placement against Xion and Saix(and kinda Xemnas) alongside Lea works based on KH2. But also man Kairi fighting Dark Riku+Ansem would have been JUICY!

It's Riku facing his embarassing teen life choices alongside his friends instead of alone at last.

It's Kairi fighting off the ghost of her KH1 fear of Riku because he changed for worse once but now he's changed again for the better.

It's Sora Hollow Bastion except this time he isn't forced into a 1vs1 encounter in a tiny arena after just having been infodumped.

Ansem Sod is the cherry on the cake cause this guy really was the main cause of the islands' destruction.

Xehanort being raised by a hooded figure on Destiny Islands and being called the child of destiny

Ansem returning to Destiny Islands as a hooded figure at the time when the true child of destiny is there

Just finished episode 4 of the 3rd season of the boys and as an enormous Hughie Campbell stan I find it fucking ironic how he started making the stupidest decisions as soon as he consciously decided to do things Butcher's way.

[gellertsvision]

I simply loved Newt's participation on Fantastic Beasts and the Divorce of Grindeldore.

[grindeldore1899]

took that picture in cinema today <3 (breaks my heart but I love it)

This Love

For #NewTinaMidBirthday2022❤️

Clear blue water.High tide came and brought you in.

Skies grew darker.Currents swept you out again.And you were just gone and gone, gone and gone.

In silent screams, in wildest dreams.I never dreamed of this.

Tossing, turning.Struggled through the night with someone new.

Lantern, burning.Flickered in the night for only you.But you were still gone, gone, gone.

In losing grip, on sinking ships.You showed up just in time.

Your kiss, my cheek.I watched you leave.Your smile, my ghost.I fell to my knees.

This love is good, this love is bad.This love is alive back from the dead.These hands had to let it go free, and this love came back to me.

This love left a permanent mark.This love is glowing in the dark.These hands had to let it go free, and This love came back to me.
