the fact that one of gellert’s biggest fears is to be alone and how albus turned his back to him was honestly so painful to watch. the look of hurt and devastation on gellert’s face after he watched his true love walk away from him in sod gets me crying everytime. i know it’s not gonna happen but these two literally deserve a happy ending
Here's the thing, after the fight between the two and after Grindelwald falls off the cliff, Theseus tells Albus to promise him that if he finds Gellert again, he'll catch him and finish him off.
But Albus simply nods his head slightly but never verbally tells him that he will if the time comes.
It will be because, not even he himself can promise himself such a thing since, he knows that, he will always be the love of his life
can’t stress how much i live for albus bringing up that he dated grindelwald in every conversation and how he can’t hurt him because of the gay blood pact they made and him not being ashamed of it whatsoever. like when theseus is like why tf did you do that and he’s like because love bitch also i was horny
One thing I haven't been able to get out of my head since watching SOD is that when Vinda Rosel comes along and tells Grindelwald : "you're a free man," he doesn't rejoice, because in the end he knows he never will be free.
And, i'm not talking on a personal level but on a love level, he will never be free of love, for all the freedom of movement and action that is granted to you, both albus and him will never be able to love in the world like this.
thinking about how gellert could have killed albus when he turned his back on him in that scene but instead he was so distressed over their divorce he just chose to scream "ok die alone then!!!!" and then jumped off a cliff
Albus Dumbledore was handsome, sweet, kind, a great professor, good with children, talented and a powerful wizard. And sexy.
In those 30 years he could have easily found a new partner, a nice man, gentle, funny, someone who could have given Albus stability and security, someone able to make him laugh, after all the traumas he had been through.
Someone to share a life with. Maybe without passion and intensity, but still a good life, not in solitude.
But no. Albus did not want to find someone else, nor even think about seeing other people.
His heart was taken, for good. And if life wasn't going to let him have the only person he truly wanted, and if this meant to be never truly happy and whole, so be it. Because LOVE IS BIGGER THAN HAPPINESS ( as Agatha Cristie once said).
Here's the thing, I've already seen TSOD about three times and I wanted to make some comments about grindeldore bcs I love them. -Cafeteria scene: boyyyyy everyone looking for the dark magician of the moment and he simply... meets him to drink... tea (that's love, bitches). How nervous Dumbeldore was to see him (I'm expecting someone). As soon as Grindelwald appears we can observe an increase in Dumbeldore's blinks (which usually indicates that your brain is processing too many emotions at once), the smiles, the TENSION in the environment
BECAUSE I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU (as far as this is concerned, the use of "was"), does that mean not anymore? Is it because he talks about the past? In my opinion Grindelwald was the only love of his life, since, in the rest of the saga we can see that Dumbeldore does not fall in love with anyone else.
The number of times Dumbledore uses "Gellert and I" or takes advantage of any moment or conversation to highlight the fact of how in love he is with him (just the fucking fact that he A LOT of times (even then) refers to him as "Gellert" (just melts my heart)
-The battle: one of the scenes with more tension and sadness of the entire movie. Knowing that you have to fight with the love of your life because the magical world is what it expects of you... omfg I just want to cry. The moment of "hands on the chest", the sound of their hearts, all the time around them stops, it's just the two of them looking into each other's eyes, noticing the other's heartbeat, what would each one think?they separate (we can see how Grindelwald takes a step forward) why? The safest thing is that deep down, as we all know Grindelwald has always had that manipulative part, he knows that he is in control of the relationship, Albus was simply "blinded" by love and the power and ideas of Grindelwald, BUT, Albus separates, doesn't let him invade his personal space and... without Grindelwald expecting it, Dumbeldore simply... turns around and turns his back on him (Grindelwald has just been rejected by Albus), you can see the change of expression on his face, the desperation of being rejected, by someone who for him, he would think would never say no. In the face of the overwhelm, he shouts almost desperately: Who will love you now, Dumbeldore? , knowing that, there will be no one who will be able to love. And to his surprise... he simply tells him that he is alone.
After finishing the battle we can see how Grindelwald "throws back" off the cliff. People look out to see what happened and... we can see the desperation on Albus's face (thinking if he got hurt in the fall?), he will always care about Gellert no matter what. -The fact that he collects the remaining pieces of the pact and despite everything he continues to keep them (and he kept the rest of the years, I will talk about this later)
--Wedding scene: OMFG, yes, the cafeteria scene and the fight killed me inside but WTF, "grindeldore" goes through a "divorce period" and they make poor Albus attend a wedding??? omg my poor boy Everyone is happy, everyone is reconciled, the "accepted" standards of love are those that survive, those that have happiness but, what about them? It's just not what "is well seen" for which, no it will have a happy ending :( And already , in the scene in which Albus looks into the cafeteria , he smiles for those who are happy , for love , for happiness ( because as we know Albus is one of the characters that defends love throughout the saga , even to Harry he explains several times that, above all, the most important thing is love), when HE is the only person he has not been able to love (I am broken inside) -Already at the end of the saga, when Albus dies, we can observe several things: Grindelwald tried to prevent Voldemort from going to Dumbeldore's grave and one of the things that he now understood and that hurts me the most: we can observe that a phoenix arrives later at Grindelwald's cell with something shiny around his neck (IT WAS THEM, IT WAS THE BLOOD PACT) simply together until eternity, because love, if it doesn't survive in life, will survive in death.
They now can hurt each other, they can kill each other.
They chose not to. They can't.
Can you imagine how much it must hurt, loving someone you have to destroy?
Can you imagine Dumbledore knowing he has this big duty of defeating Grindelwald and the wizarding world counts on him to do so, but he literally can't bring himself to because that's the love of his life. He just can't hurt him because he still loves him so much. And Grindelwald, if he killed Dumbledore there would be no one to match him. He is his biggest threat. He can just kill him and continue undefeated but he can't hurt the man he loves. He can't force himself to.
Crying shaking throwing up
