Every minute of The Crimes of Grindelwald was complete and utter agony (except for Jude Law, you're doing amazing sweetie). This movie was capable of making me bored, confused, and completely furious at the same time for more than two hours straight which is admittedly, quite an accomplishment but not one it should be proud of. I don't know why I'm surprised after the trainwreck that was The Cursed Child but here we are I guess lol. Don't encourage JK Rowling by giving her any more of your money so she can stop decimating my childhood please and thanks.
If someone could do me the favor of obliviating the last few hours from my memory I would be eternally grateful.
this isn't to say I didn't sob whenever we got a good shot of Hogwarts or heard Hedwig's theme. I'm not a cold-hearted monster after all, and this franchise will have me in it's grip until the day I die.

Spoilers for The Game of God chapter 14 and discussions of grief under the cut.
I love this chapter for many many reasons but a lot because how Cas deals with Andy's death really really resonates with me.
The next few paragraphs are talking about my own experience before I go back to talking about how it parallels with Cas's experience. This includes talk of suicide so trigger warning for that.
It's no surprise really that it reminds me of a death in my own life, since his name was Andy too. He was a baker at my family's cafe and about seven years ago went missing for 24 hours before killing himself.
I was in school when it happened, I had my phone in my hand all day waiting for updates, and got a tweet notification through that the cafe was closing for the day and text my dad to find out what was happening and he rang me so I left my class. He told me and I broke down. My friend, Rio, helped me get my stuff from the classroom and got me to sit down and have some cake and a drink because I was in shock. I remember not realising I was shaking until I tried to get a straw into the hole. I hardly even noticed I was crying and apparently I was sobbing.
I was the one to tell the people who were at school was happened. Most of them were my friends so I would have seen them anyway. The other person I had someone go and find for me.
It was that same kind of methodical detachment as Cas emptying Andy's pockets. It was something that needed to be done, and I was the best one, the only one really, to do it.
Relieved, he steps into the hallway and turns to see what feels like an infinite number of blank faces watching him and stops short; he can't remember what comes next. What comes next?
Then Vera emerges, eyes meeting his as she joins him, murmuring, "Just start walking. I'll be right behind you."
That would be it, yes.
If Ri hadn't been there, I would have completely stopped functioning. I didn't know what I was doing or how to do it or how to even breathe. But then she was right behind me guiding me forwards.
I made it through a lesson because I felt like that's what I should do but then I left. I went to the empty cafe and started cleaning. It's not the same as what Cas did, not in the slightest. If I could've jumped off a wall and gone to fight a hellhound I think it would have been a hell of a lot more cathartic, but I didn't have that option. I just knew I had to keep moving and I needed to do something. There was no one I could help in that moment, so I scrubbed the cafe instead, knowing it would never get done like that otherwise.
"This is what comes next."
This chapter is such beautiful juxtaposition because Cas all through this chapter is able to do things because he's not human. He can deal with the infected bodies. He can leap off of a wall. He can go (almost) singlehandedly toe to toe with a hellhound. But the reasons he's doing it are so incredibly human. He is in pain. He wants to help. He doesn't want people to suffer.
It's not the first time we've seen Cas grieving, obviously it's not - we step into dta at the start of his grieving process. But that's different for a couple of reasons, one, he's not as close to Andy so it's a different kind of grief. He starts to run the camp when Vera makes him and not before, but he's going through the motions until then. When Andy dies, it's not the same all encompassing grief. Two, he can grieve publicly. In MotW, no-one can know that his Dean is dead. Only Dean and Cas (and later Chuck) know that Dean is dead not missing and then that our Dean takes his place. In TGoG, everyone is sharing in the grief. People who didn't know Andy did know other people who died. There's a certain level of community that comes in shared grief.
I'm lucky to not yet have experienced the all consuming grief of losing someone I'm very close to, but that sense of community, that we will do whatever we can to help, that I did experience.
It may not be croats and it may not be the apocalypse but seven years ago mental health issues and particularly depression/suicide for men really wasn't talked about. It's taboo now but back then it was even more so. There weren't the campaigns. It was just Andy was dead.
So we rallied around each other. We didn't fight and recover bodies, but we met up and talked and shared meals. Because this is what comes next. People die and you have to keep moving. This is what comes next. You rage and you fight and you grieve and you do what you can to comfort each other. This is what comes next.

THE WHOLE OF DTA TAKES PLACE IN 158 DAYS? That’s so many words for such a short amount of time bro
Also i really wanna read DtA but gotta ask, how big is the drug thing in it for Cas?
yep, 158 days! this got me curious so here’s every book:
motw is 154k words 63 days
itstl is 163k words 55 days
atlin is 223k words 32 days
tgog is 580k words 8 days LMAO
regarding cas and drugs (this will contain some spoilers of course): he’s definitely not the typical endverse cas, most of the drug usage is in the first half of book 1 then he basically goes sober after that. other than book 1 the only time i can remember him getting high is one scene at the end of book 2. the other thing though is that dean gets sick in book 2 which has some long lasting effects, namely he gets tired quite often, cas remedies that by giving him homecooked speed a few times when he needs him awake 🤷🏻‍♀️ i don’t know if that answers it but i promise cas isn’t high out of his mind for 1.2M words

My god, I’m beginning to understand why Queenie went over.
Grindelwald nearly had *me* convinced that he didn’t want to hurt muggles, just live openly, side by side, without fear ... and his message that it was the ministry that were the bad guys. Remember, he’s so persuasive they took out his TOUNGE.
And Queenie, who also saw the ministry as the bad guys, who was tired of hiding and being told what she could and couldn’t do, saw hope and truth in that.
She’s all heart and little logic, I think, and she’s easily carried away by emotions.
Remember too, how overwhelming her mind reading powers are when upset. And it’s not just then that they’re a problem for her - I think that she’s often hurt by the things she sees in others minds, and I’d imagine that, like with Jacob, it makes relationships very hard. There’s no secrets, no surprises, no chance for anyone to hide fleeting mean thoughts - cuz we all have them. And again, it’s been said ( by jk? I forget) that Queenie is often bad at interpreting what she hears, likely because she’s driven by emotion and doesn’t stop to think.
And I’m betting that she can’t hear Grindelwalds thoughts. He’s certainly powerful enough to have a block up. She has to take him entirely on trust and I think that’s new for her and somewhat of a relief.
I’m really excited to see where her character goes. I hope they don’t fuck it up, and I hope they give her a chance to explain herself, and a chance for redemption - preferably without sacrifice, JK, although I think that’s all she knows how to do.
