In relation to the CoG Queenie post, (Spoilers), one of the things that bugged me with Queenie in CoG, was what she had done to Jacob at the beginning of the movie, I thought it was very disrespectful to him, and negligent of his feelings in regards to their situation, if they had had them just be disagreeing on the steps they should take for their relationship, and that was why she left, I feel like I'd be less frustrated with it, but I was disappointed with how they went about it :(
(Queenie comment anon) Just thought I’d share my personal perspective on it, with you, to see your pov more and such :) I hope you don’t mind :)
Hi Anon! I don’t mind at all! And it’s a totally valid view! Honestly I kinda felt things were a different way with that though. I have, however, wanted to share my personal thoughts about it for a bit so I’m now going to sandblast you with the fic idea/my interpretation of events! Ok Sorry in advance!
I think that when they met at the END of FB1 Jacob got part of his memories back. He started remembering things. I think he asked her to dinner and as she was already head over heels for him she accepted! I think they spent the night talking and laughing and all through it memories came back. He fought through the potion and remembered Newt and Tina and everyone, especially remembered Queenie. I think at the end of the night he walked her home and when she was expecting a kiss he gave her something better: He told her he remembered her.
I think they continued dating for the rest of the year. Queenie kept it secret and Jacob liked the adventure of it. They went out to dinner, they did Shabbot every few weeks (Cause she had to practise with Tina too but she loved it a his house). I think they fell deeply and madly in love. Jacob knew it was FROWNED on to have her marry a muggle but he was sure after everything he would be an exception. I think he figured they could get married and people just wouldn’t like them together but since he proved he loved the wizarding community it was ok.
I think he designed the perfect night. I think he picked out flowers and candy and bought a ring and proposed. I think she accepted and was ecstatic and they spent the rest of the night planning their future and maybe even practicing for the wedding night ;-). I think the next morning they told Tina and she flipped out. I think Tina told Jacob everything that would happen. She told him about him being properly oblivated and he didn’t care what happened to him. Then I think she told him what would happen to Queenie. Put in the deepest prisons, tortured, given a colorless life. Or worse killed.
I think that scared him enough that he took it back. I think they fought and it ended with her crying and running away still wearing the ring. I think he chased her down like the good man he is and begged her to understand and she screamed that she loved him. She frantically offered London and running away and he pointed out his bakery and their lives here and her sister and she insisted she didn’t care about the danger and she didn’t care about the cost she just wanted him.
I think he told her he couldn’t and begged her to understand and she pretended she did and asked to keep the ring. I think he hesitated and she swore it was just for a little while. Just to pretend for a little while. I think he wanted to pretend too for a little while. I think he agreed and set up a dinner. One where they could have another night just them and they could pretend. One last time.
I think that’s when she decided she would spell him. She had been offered that life and she KNEW they both wanted it. She KNEW they wanted it more than anything and he had just as many dreams. She had heard his thoughts over the year. She knew he loved her. She knew she loved him. So she decided to whisk him away, get married and settle down. Then she would disenchant him when she was sure he wouldn’t leave her again and break both their hearts. I think she just didn’t want to lose the first hope she had for a future that was better and more loving than her patronizing past of being the freak. She needed that home that he was for her.
Anyway if people want anything else about my thoughts on this I’m game but I’m glad I got to write that out. I’ve kinda fallen into this new ship head first.
