More About Newt X Leta

JK Rowling really really sucks at romance.

I mean how could you have that line OTP: you never met a monster you couldn’t love and think Newt belongs with…Trina.

That line basically represents the beauty of this couple. Newt’s entire character is that he can be gentle with monsters other people fear and bring the goodness out of them. His relationship with Leta was THE personification of that. She was the scary Slytherin, Lestrange that he befriended, he saw her beauty and potential when no one else did. He was an outcast too and she understood his quirks and embraced them. She did grow up and encouraged him to act more like his brother, but she still ultimately appreciated his differences, as shown by the quote above.

I’m just baffled at how JK brushed her and the couple aside for the sake of Newt and Trina. The only reason why Newt and Trina like each other is because they are the main characters of the movie, there is literally nothing else you can put your finger on the way you can with Newt and Leta. What would Newt and Tina’s line be? OTP: Your eyes look like Salamanders. 

This line is purely about Tina’s looks, that Newt admires her beauty. You can’t say this says anything about their characters the way the Leta’s does. It doesn’t say anything about their bond except that he admires a physical aspect of her, not her actual personality. 

I think Newt and Leta would have been much more symbolic and tie in with the storyline, and it’s a shame that Rowling killed Leta off to prevent them from happening.

She knew

[theelftheodore]

I knew you once And it was nice I knew your brain and your heart All your insides Oh I could tell Just with a look What you were thinking That’s all it took You shared your secrets And I shared mine Silence was comfy Without having to try We swapped our smiles Gifted advice Yes, I knew you once And it was nice
