You know what breaks me?
In SoD Gellert approaches Albus and he makes clear that he WANTS his presense. But until the very end of the movie he does not show his vulnerability. He flirts, he shows irritation when things don’t go his way, he retaliates with bigoted comments, but until the ‘who will ove you now Dumbledore?’ he does not open up about his feelings; not even when Albus says that he was in love with him, which Gellert simply acknowledges as a fact. On the other hand Albus is very open about his emotions. He does not hide his vulnerability. But he witholds physical intimacy.
When we reach the peak of the duel, with the sound of their heartbeats and their hands over each other’s hear, Gellert’s eyes fall on the hands because he is given the touch that he’s been deprived of. On the contrary, Albus is fixed on Gellert’s face because he finally sees the other man’s honest yearning unfiltered and without any pose and pretenses.
After their hands drop, Gellert steps forward trying to close the space between them, still focused on touch and proximity. Albus steps back, but he still can’t take his eyes off Gellert’s vulnerable expression. This is not what REALLY happens as the actors perform, in the sense that the shots we see of the characters’ faces are not the result of a linear take, but in the final product Albus blinks ONCE in the span of one minute because he can’t stop taking in Gellert’s face. I’m telling you that’s NOT normal. I can’t stay unblinking for that long. These two have compromised me emotionally.

By naming his son Albus, Harry bestowed upon him Dumbledore’s legacy: befriending a blond, brilliant young man, who understands him like no one else can, and falling head over heels in love with him.
“I have experimented; I have pushed the boundaries of magic further, perhaps, than they have ever been pushed — ”
“Of some kinds of magic,” Dumbledore corrected him quietly. “Of some. Of others, you remain … forgive me … woefully ignorant.”
For the first time, Voldemort smiled. It was a taut leer, an evil thing, more threatening than a look of rage. “The old argument,” he said softly. “But nothing I have seen in the world has supported your famous pronouncements that love is more powerful than my kind of magic, Dumbledore.”
“Perhaps you have been looking in the wrong places,” suggested Dumbledore.

Gellert: “Kill me, then, Voldemort, I welcome death! But my death will not bring you what you seek… there is so much you do not understand…“

Albus: “That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to comprehend. Of house-elves and children’s tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing.”

At last he said, ‘Grindelwald tried to stop Voldemort going after the wand. He lied, you know, pretended he had never had it.’
Dumbledore nodded, looking down at his lap, tears still glittering on the crooked nose. ‘They say he showed remorse in later years, alone in his cell at Nurmengard. I hope that it is true. I would like to think he did feel the horror and shame of what he had done. Perhaps that lie to Voldemort was his attempt to make amends … to prevent Voldemort from taking the Hallow …’
‘…or maybe from breaking into your tomb?’ suggested Harry, and Dumbledore dabbed his eyes.

thinking about how similar these looks are
aurelius got them coordinating mugs <3
i see a bunch of people talking about gellert’s lavender tie at the moment and i would just like to say if you research lavender you find:
to add to this, this is shown growing outside hogwarts in a scene in tsod:
gellert grindelwald; master of pick-up lines directed at albus
i gave them matching shirts
thinking about how they’re sitting at table 14 cause we learn in hp that 7 is the most magically powerful number and 7 (albus) + 7 (gellert) is 14
professor albus “i like my man like i like my profession, defensive (jealous) and dark-arty” dumbledore

yeah we need to hear gellert call albus “honey” cause of the bumblebee thing but im also demanding “angel” cause of Heaven from the soundtrack
I just watched FBSOD and I loved it. I marathon’d the 2 movies before watching it so I can get the story.
Things I liked about the movie.
1. Gellert and Albus scenes. I need more. Like can we have Flashbacks next before they fight in 1945.
2. Jacob. From movie 1 to 3 Jacob has been such a funny and pure character. He’s not annoying, he’s sweet and brave.
3. All the fantastic beasts. I’ve always loved animals and dreamt of being a Veterinarian before. All creatures are so wonderful.
4. This line from Newt “Don’t hurt those creatures. Nothing in there is dangerous. Please don’t hurt my creatures. They aren’t dangerous! Please! They’re not dangerous!” He’s such a good person. He loves his creatures so much.
5. Queenie’s Costumes/Fashion so beautiful.
6. Theseus is such a good big brother.
7. I loved Johnny Depp’s portrayal but I also think that Mads Mikkelsen gave that terrifying but longing Grindelwald.
8. It’s so political. Down to the leader pretending to be concerned for his followers to the getting free from all crime charges and getting to run and winning via cheating. Feels like real life you know.
9. Newt and Tina still cute and sweet even for a short time.
10. It’s overall entertaining and filled with action.
Lavenders and Bumblebees.
Summer letters you wrote to me.
All that I have are these.
To remember you.
