Some of my thoughts about Grindeldore in The Secrets of Dumbledore

So, im REALLY obsessed with this movie and i wrote some of my thoughts and i decided put it here.

First of all, english is not my native language, so im so sorry for any mistake, and obviously, in this post there are spoilers. LETS GO

The Restaurant scene

Their smiles kill me btw

I love the restaurant scene for how Gellert insists over and over that it was both planning a revolution, that Albus not only followed him because they were in love, because HE helped make their plans and HE turned his back on them. Phrases like "It was you who said we can reshape the world" and "Committed to me, to US" it makes that clear

I think that Gellert was so angry with Albus because, in his perspective, he went on with his life as if nothing happened and that bothers him, he has so much anger and bitterness in his heart that he doesn't see beyond appearances

He doesn't want Albus to make excuses, he wants the Albus he MET in 1899 in his side , but he hasn't realized of THAT Albus died with Ariana and only at the end does he realize that Albus left his arms forever

And Albus, this is where I asked myself what was his point in being there, did he just want to try and convince Gellert to break the pact or did he want to see if there was a way to deal with this situation without breaking it? Albus doesn't want to let Gellert go either (even though he knows that isn't the Gellert he fell in love with anymore), he wants to save Gellert and try to save what they have.

Gellert was hurt after Albus said "We can free each other", which is why i think he acts so mean to Albus in the rest of the scene (and in the movie!). Gellert loves and cares about the pact, he carried the Troth with him everywhere for about 28 years, that he had it in a chest pocket, that he sacrificed and risked his escape in order to get it back at the start of COG, it's very obvious that. I think he uses the pact all the time because it's a palpable reminder of the one time he felt understood and loved by an equal. He uses it because it makes him feel close to Albus.

This scene was perfect, and I thanks so much to Jude and Mads performace <3

How they talked about the other in the movie

Someone doesnt feels weird the way they talked about the other with another people in the movie? Like, sometimes it feels like their relantionships was not a secret. Gellert explicity admits to his acolites and Kama he knew and was a Dumbledore´s close friend.

I personally think that Gellert doesnt hide their relationship to anyone, he is very pround and selfish about their conextion (another reason for he posibble cares so much about the troth!). But Albus is the contrarian.

He talks about his realantionship but with a few people, talks about it with Thesus but only for convinced him. And says THREE times he loved Gellert (and one of it was to Gellert himself).

ALSO, Gellert and Albus are so obsessed with each other in the movie, like Albus mentions their love every time he can and Gellert have visions about Albus and look at him with the most look of longing have ever see, THEY'RE OBSESSED WITH EACH OTHER AND I LOVE IT!!

For next, my favorite part of the movie

The almost duel

Frist of all, THE SOUNDTRACK OF THS SCENE IS PRECIOUS AND GORGEOUS, thank you James Newton Howard.

And then, can we talk about Gellert's face in this frame and how he trembles at the mere thought of touching Albus after 30 years and realizing he can't hurt him because he still loves him so deeply?

When they put their hands on each other's hearts, Albus keeps his hand outstretched, Gellert presses his hand to Albus's chest as if he wants to hold on to it, trembles at the thought of hurting him and clings to him in the face of it. His face of him is one of absolute despair, this is the moment where they realize that their destiny is inevitable and that they will repeat this duel one day.

Now something that I find interesting is how Gellert trembles at the idea and lets his guard down for a moment, and Albus holds his wand up, he doesn't like the idea, but he's more determined to do it, that's the moment where he chooses to do what is right and not what is easy.

And Albus, he doesn't even know how to feel about all of this. Should he feel angry with Gellert for left him? Should he be glad that he was stopped in that summer in the worst way possible? Would he be willing to give up the best two months of his life for his sister? He can hurt to the man he loves?

They both love each other, but that is the moment where they have lost each other and their reactions to it kill me. Gellert seeks to emotionally harm Albus and Albus just walks away, he does not seek to harm Gellert with his action from him, but the fact that he turns his back on him and shows a certain indifference after tremendous emotional shock hurts Gellert more and seeks to harm Albus more with his next action

"Who will love you now Dumbledore?, you're all alone" Those words seem more directed at himself than at Albus, he feels alone, and the only proof that someone really loved him lies broken on the ground.

It is also interesting how Gellert goes from calling him "Albus" at the beginning of the film to calling him "Dumbledore" at the end of it

I think Albus was more prepared for the idea of confronting him, from the beginning he raises the idea of getting rid of the troth and Gellert is resistant to the idea, he doesn't want to, it is the only physical proof he has of his and he clings to it. Item.

Gellert is an emotional wreck and unlike Albus, he doesn't have people who love and support him unconditionally, he's alone.

He is a man who does not know how to deal with strong emotions (and it has been shown since fbwtft) and that is his greatest weakness. Dumbledore always talks about how love is the most powerful magic because he thinks it is what we don't know. He doesn't even feel lovable, but he keeps thinking about it.

And every day I am more convinced that Gellert's feelings for Albus are the reason why he loses THE duel, that Gellert's love for him is enough for him to repent and let him win, and thats why Albus locks Gellert in Nurmergard, because he has faith that he will regret it because he already showed signs of it

The end of the movie

"I was never your enemy..." says Gellert to the public, and then proceed to search Albus, look at him to the eyes and says "...then or now"

I was speechless at first, THIS MAN hurts Albus firts and he feels betrayed and emotionally hurt by him, BUT HE STILL WANTS ALBUS ON HIS SIDE. I HAVE NO WORDS FOR THAT.

The end of the movie is so sad, Albus promeses to Thesues find and captured Gellert after have that moment is so hurtful. See the pact broken is a hurtful pain and he cant explain that.

(btw Newt is a great friend for Albus in this movie, all the time he helps and supports because he knows that this hurts him, he doesn't judge him and that's why i adore Newt so much)

At the very end see Albus seeing the wedding was so sad, i cant belived how that scene is so painful and so happy and the same time. I actually refuse to belive that they dont invite Albus to the wedding, but the fact that he stays alone in the street see something that nows it will never be able to live it's a very hurtful moment, and a very sad ending for him.

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

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:

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.

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.

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.

#I keep thinking about them and as much as Hughie is good for Butcher Butcher is genuinely abysmal for Hughie in the long run #Just look at the poor sod #He started off a great if slightly anxious human being #Went through the stage of a terrified murderer then had a brief mental breakdown inside some miserable opened-up whale #An even briefer reprise where he finally had himself a breather just for this whole tower of glass to get shattered right into his face #And landed smoothly on his arse at Butcher's heel #With not only blood and gutters but also some mutant vomit all over his face and doing drugs even Frenchie wouldn't do in Russia #What is you life lad #the boys #hughie campbell #butchie #butcher x hughie #hughie campbell x billy butcher #season 3 spoilers #i guess #it's been a long time but i've only just started watching myself so

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

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.
