A few people have asked to be tagged in my 25 Days of Christmas series so if you are one of those people, please let me know and I will start tagging you all from tomorrow
Just try to imagine a cute little Newt Scamander being so interested in his mother’s work. How he’d always take care of stray animals or beasts and how his face would light up when they do something cute. Just imagine.
Such a cinnamon roll
NEWT SCAMANDER can’t look people in the eye when he talks to them
NEWT SCAMANDER thinks he annoys people
NEWT SCAMANDER is riddled with scars from his creatures
NEWT SCAMANDER became a surrogate mother to a cluster of Occamys
NEWT SCAMANDER kept the obscurus that killed the 8 y/o girl he befriended in africa, because, despite it being the manifestation of her pain and sorrow, it was still a living thing
NEWT SCAMANDER named every single one of his creatures
NEWT SCAMANDER built habitats for all of them by himself
NEWT SCAMANDER feeds them all, nurses them when they’re sick, and makes personal connections with each of them
NEWT SCAMANDER took the time to learn the mating dance of the Erumpent
NEWT SCAMANDER lives in the shadow of his older brother
NEWT SCAMANDER worked with dragons during the war (Charlie Weasley, anyone?)
NEWT SCAMANDER cried when he had to pretend to give up Pickett
NEWT SCAMANDER was dragged out of the Congress of Magic screaming for mercy, not for himself or Tina, but for his creatures
NEWT SCAMANDER carries around ‘Swooping Evil’ and has earned it’s trust enough so that it let another human use it as a springboard, AND it listens to him when he says no
NEWT SCAMANDER was the only one who was able to get close to Credence after he was unleashed
NEWT SCAMANDER understands, not only the signs of extreme fear (and probably a panic attack) but the feeling of being an outcast, of not fitting right in your own skin
NEWT SCAMANDER never raised his wand against Credence, only apparated closer or away
NEWT SCAMANDER found it easier to befriend a muggle and open up to him than to talk with other wizards
NEWT SCAMANDER is completely unbiased because of his deep compassion for ALL living things
NEWT SCAMANDER apoligized to a monkey after it feked around with his wand
NEWT SCAMANDER doesn’t give two shits about money. He gives Jacob, who is presumably obviated, half a dozen silver lines eggshells
NEWT SCAMANDER made such an impression on a muggle that even when presumably obviated he created pastries that looked like his friends beloved creatures
NEWT SCAMANDER understands that humans are the worst beast of all
NEWT SCAMANDER was able to pick up not only on word choice but on the feeling of evil he got from Grindelwald
NEWT SCAMANDER is able to think through panic
NEWT SCAMANDER was friends with a LaStrange–because lineage doesn’t matter to him
NEWT SCAMANDER has a fighting spirit. We saw it when Queenie said ‘Hogwash’
I JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH. FEEL FREE TO ADD ON
Credence: Mr.Graves… I did a bad thing.
Percival: Does it affect me ?
Credence: um, no
Percival: then suffer in- *looks at Credence innocent eyes*
little details in fantastic beasts that i gasped/screamed at/loved:
at his macusa hearing they say newt’s older brother was a war hero
which gives me a totally different perspective on newt’s childhood and life
he’s the carefree, daring, wild younger brother who can’t fit in, living under the shadow of his amazing brother like how must that have affected his development as a person
(btw newt was friends with leta because they were both outsiders which makes my heart hurt)
“worrying means you suffer twice” A PLUS NEWT A PLUS
also newt just like casually handing jacob heavy duty protection and tossing him into the fray
grindelwald snarling at newt in the interrogation room, wondering how albus dumbledore could possibly find this young unassuming man so amazing, so likable, so defendable
(also i’m like 150% sure newt scamander was rubeus hagrid’s personal hero)
the necklace graves gives credence is the deathly hallows symbol aka gellert grindelwald’s claimed sign
i saw that lil flash and s c r e a m e d
also i find percival graves and porpentina goldstein’s relationship so interesting
like they must have worked together as aurors
percival looks the sorriest when the president orders tina out of headquarters
and he comes downstairs straightaway to see her after that incident in the dusty macusa basement
and tina looks so betrayed when he shackles her alongside newt and jacob
what must their relationship have been like? mentor and mentee? close friends? colleagues? just something that’s been on my mind
WHEN TALKING TO HIS BEASTS NEWT CALLS HIMSELF THEIR MOTHER
aka “mother’s here” like can he be any more precious ?????
“wilds of arizona”. just…like i never thought i would hear that phrase ever lol
newt being dragged away in chains, desperately begging macusa not to harm his creatures, that they’re not dangerous, that they’re not dangerous, please don’t hurt them
queenie calling jacob honey
teasing her sister for being the careerwoman and tina looking embarrassed but proud
queenie casually strolling through macusa with the intent of busting her friends and sister outta there
trying loads of unlocking spells until jacob (bless his muggle soul) just kicks the damn door down
tina seeing her mother in the pool
thinking about her relationship with her mother and how much she must have missed her parents, especially since they died at such an early age
newt begging tina to trust him, that he’ll catch her, and her visible hesitation
she must have had such a difficult life but is still so capable of love and affection and trust #porpentinagoldsteinisabamf
also that spell the goldstein sisters do to change their clothes like i need that
also newt’s small concession to fashion when he changes his fun bowtie into something a tad more formal
newt casually asking jacob how people trust him so quickly
that passing remark that people generally find newt annoying, like it’s so matter-of-fact, made me 😥
the tears in newt’s eyes when he’s saying farewell to jacob
jacob’s unabashed delight at seeing all these magical creatures and hearkening back to his wild days on the expedition teams in wwi
also can we take a moment to realize that jacob is a veteran and he’s probably seen so much grief and heartbreak and death and he is still so upbeat and helpful and purely genuinely excited at seeing new amazing things
and all he wants to do is open a bakery and make people happy like :’)
“but they made us cocoa!”
jacob and queenie bonding over their grandfathers’ birds and mutual love of cooking
that little spring in tina’s step after newt asks if he can come back in person
not to mention newt’s lil pause on the gangway and that brief moment when he stands, contemplating, and then hurries away
NEWT’S PUFF SCARF
jacob’s hand reflexively reaching for his murtlap bite as queenie smiles at him
that deja vu moment when newt bumps into jacob and leaves him the silver occamy shells
remembering and trying to help his friend fulfill his lifelong dream
every single second of newt’s erumpent mating dance
pickett blowing a raspberry after newt’s stern little talk about sulking
JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT MOVIE IS SO PRECIOUS DAMMIT
if you have more fun lil tidbits you caught, please add!! i’d love to see what you guys saw too 🙂
•NEWT AVOIDING EYE CONTACT WITH HUMANS. IDK WHY BUT ITS SO ADORABLE •Newt looking at the Niffler through the glass and raising his eyebrows in the most adorable way ever
