fcntasticbeasts:

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
