is it me or is the whole shebang with choosing the next ruler person in the third Fantastic Beasts movie kinda sorta appropriative? kinda sorta "This ancient *** Chinese *** magical animal is how we elect our leader without actually referencing any other aspect of any Asian culture other than making the choosing scene happen in an Asian adjacent landscape without any geopolitical worldbuilding whatsoever?"

It's probably already been said a dozen times but uh? I just now realized why this was making me so uncomfortable? Especially added to the "Asian women are only represented as token love interests or pet snakes of genocidal maniacs" train??? Just food for thought, has anyone rewritten these movies yet?

I JUST THOUGHT OF SOMETHING HOLY SHIT

okok so after he died, there was a portrait put up of Newt Scamander in one of the hallways, yeah? And then after the war and all that and all the new first years come in, one girl finds his portrait at the end of a dusty corridor and starts talking to him. She tells him that she’s autistic, and gets teased for it a lot in class, etc, due to her not being like her classmates. And at first Newt is sceptical cause he’s like ‘a person, oh no’ but slowly he starts to warm up to this little girl who gets bullied and teased for being different, even if it’s light hearted, and in her he sees himself as a child. He watches that little girl grow up and make better friends, and gives her advice for the bad ones because he never wants anyone to go through what he did. And the girl tells him of her home life, and how her parents try their best to be supportive and help her but they just don’t understand and Newt GETS that, and all of a sudden he realised that he, too, probably has autism, or something of the like. So they start to bond over shared experiences despite them being decades apart. When the day the girl graduates comes, she visits his portrait one last time, and promises to visit, and thanks him. And he thanks her in turn, for letting him know he was never alone

SCAMANDER - THE SERIES

This idea just came into my mind so I decided to do this. I hope you like it and if you find any mistakes I'm sorry T_T (english is not my first language).

Additional Notes

I know in the original story Theseus is 8/9 years older than Newt, but here let's pretend Theseus is only 2 years older.

In this show the idea is to follow their lives as young adults, watching them go through their first professional experiences and face challenges as they grow up and need to learn how to deal with their own feelings. In parallel, we know about their past when they were students at Hogwarts and how some events still impact their lives. The main point is their bond as brothers and how even with their differences, they always got each other's back.

(p.s.: the gifs are heavy so you might have to wait a bit until they load completely)

Newt was standing outside the Ministry, holding his case in hand as he waits for his friends to exit the building. Tina, Queenie, and Jacob where visiting London for the weekend, they really wanted to visit newt after everything that’s happened back in New York.

“Tina calm down or else Newt can panic.” Said Queenie as she had her arm locked around Jacobs. The trio walked down the streets of London, heading towards Newts apartment since they were planning on surprising him at home first. “I’m sorry queenie but I’m excited for him, he’s always wanted to publish his book about magical creatures. He’s very passionate about them.” Tina says as she walks ahead of them.

“Yes, Newt really loves his creatures.” Queenie smiles at her sister as the three of them continue to walk together. The weather in London was cloudy, but it wasn’t cold. Queenie would say that it was a perfect day to be able to do anything, she really enjoyed cloudy days since it reminded her of her home back in New York.

As the three get closer to newts apartment they noticed a strange man standing by newts apartment doorway as the man knocks on the door and slips his hands into his pockets.

Tina rasies a brow as the three hide behind one of the apartments. “Should we go up there or should we wait?” Asked Jacob as they peak out to spy on the stranger. “I think we should listen to Jacob, Tina. That man looks dangerous.” Whispered Queenie as she worried for newts safety.

The strange man that stood in front of Newt’s door was tall and lean. They wore a flat cap on his head but you could clearly see the semi long black hair, he also wore a long long coat with grey pants.

Tina could feel a dark aura around the man but she knows that she shouldn’t start anything without knowing who this person is first. At first glance the man looks ruthless and quiet scary.

“Tina—“ before Queenie could stop Tina from doing anything stupid, they noticed Newts apartment door swing open. Tina is quick to hide as the continue to spy on them.

“Ah, Y/n I thought you were out of town?” Newt stutters out as he fiddled with the doorknob and avoids the mans eyes.

“I came back early,” said y/n with a small smile on his lips. “While I was away in Scotland I couldn’t help but think about my little zoologist.” He cooed out to newt, earning hismelf a blush in return. “That’s very thoughtful of you.” Newt mutters out.

Y/n hums. “Anyways, I brought you something that you might like.” He reaches under his coat to pull out a very peculiar creature that quickly catches Newts interest. The creature was a spider like lizard, it had eight legs and two large ears, giving it a curled up tail and big eyes.

“A doxy.” Newt breaths out as he reaches out for the creature. “But how did you—?” He asks the man standing in front of him as y/n grins. “I may or may have not taken some of your notes.” He mumbles out which newt chuckles too. “You stole my notes?”

“I don’t think borrowing is considered stealing, darling.”

Newt smiled shyly, taking the creature in his hand as he exams it. He’s been around doxy’s before so he knows how to treat them but what surprise him the most is that Y/n, his muggle neighbor was able to find one on his own.

“Thank you...for the gift.”

“Anything for my dove.” Y/n reaches out to brush his thumb against his check, causing newt to push his hand away.

Still rejecting him like always.

Y/n sighs in defeat. “Very well, I’m off. Maybe I can see you tonight? I heard about your book publishing.”

“How—?”

“Your brother was talking to hismelf when he left your place.” Newt rolls his eyes, he never expected Theseus to be so loud when talking to hismelf.

“Would I be getting a copy, Mr. Scamander?” He gives him a devilish grin as Newt holds the Doxy in his hand and bites his lip. “I—maybe.” He answers back.

Y/n nods at him. “I’ll see you tonight.” He reminds him once again before stepping down the small set of steps and heading back to his own place.

Newt can’t help but watch the man disappear once he turns down an alley. Letting out a large sigh of relief he placed a hand on his chest to keep himself steady. Y/n Black has been visiting him for months now and has been receiving constant gifts from the man and he still has no idea how this had all started.

Y/n was quick to find out about Newt being a Wizard since he’s seen him pop around London and in their neighborhood late at night, the only time that y/n is usually out late doing his own business.

It didn’t take Newt long to find out that his neighbor was the leader of the British Mafia. At first he panicked, thinking about his creatures safety first and wanting to move away from the man but he knows that he can’t since it’s hard finding a new place around London and he was also having problems with the ministry during those times.

The two were able to talk and sort things out. Y/n promised not tell anyone about the wizarding world as long as Newt didn’t move away. It sounded like blackmail but in reality, Newt he no where else to go so he had no choice but to remain here. The first couple of weeks were uncomfortable and awkward for newt but as he slowly got used to the fact that his neighbor was a mafia leader, he became less uncomfortable and quickly things went back to normal.

Both y/n and Newt became friends but of course their were time when y/n would ask newt out or flirt with him whenever he could. Newt would always ignore these moments and pretend like he doesn’t know but there are times when he slowly starts falling for the man.

Before newt Can head back inside his apartment he notices a hint of blonde hair from a distance, squinting his eyes he steps down his door and notices the trio. “Queenie?” He calls out, catching the sisters attention as she squeaks in surprise and comes out of hiding.

“Surprise!” She says with a giggle between her small gesture.

Newts lips form a smile as he sees his friends coming out of hiding. He approaches the three to ask. “What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be back in New York?”

“Tina told us about your book being published today and we wanted to visit you.” Jacob says this time, smiling at his friend.

“You didn’t have to do that, I could’ve visited privately and bring you each a copy! The ministry is going to be full today because of this and it’s going to be very crowded, maybe you won’t be able to see me or maybe you—“

“Newt, sweetie, breath.” Said Queenie as she walks up to him and genlty places a hand on his shoulder. “We wanted to surprise you and who cares if it’s crowded today? As long as we can see our friend announce his famous book, that’s all that maters to us.” She whispers softly, hearing newts mind calm down as she smiles sweetly at him.

Queenie always had a way with others, knowing when to help during a crisis or to just be there for them. She loves newt dearly and would do anything to see this man smile.

“Now, why don’t we all head inside and settle before we leave to the ministry?” Said Queenie as the others agree.

Newt guides them back inside his apartment and smiles. He pulls out the doxy that hid inside his pocket and sets him inside a box full of soft blankets, he checks on the creature one last time making sure that it’s not Injured or frightened.

“What you have there?” Jacob approaches newt and looks down the box to see the doxy. “Huh? That one almost looks like a spider, because of its legs.” Newt rasies a brow. “I guess that’s an easy way to point out the uniqueness of the creature.” Newt points out, causing Jacob to chuckle and shake his head. “Where did you find him?”

Newt suffers out a response. “A friend.” He puts his focus on the creature, moving its scales to make sure that they were healthy before he lets go of small creature and pulls away.

“You mean the man that came to your house?”

Newts eyes widen, turning around to see Tina sitting on a chair and drinking her tea. A small frown on her face. “How did you know that?”

“We saw him when we arrived, we wanted to see what the problem was but Queenie kept holding me back.” Explained Tina as she set her teacup down, turning to face Newt. “Newt, he looks dangerous and threatening. Are you sure it’s safe to stay here?”

Newt mentally rolls his eyes as he noticed her change of tone. She sounded so much like his older brother, always warning him about things and telling him to change location but he liked it here and he wasn’t planning on moving anytime soon.

“He’s a good man, visits me often and he helps me with the creatures.” He sits across from Tina and the others.

“But he’s a muggle—“ Queenie gasps. “He’s mafia?!” She added, reading newts mind as he curses to himself. “Queenie please.” He says, reminding her to stay out of his head.

“What?! Newt this man is a no-maj—let alone a mafia leader!” Tina blurts out in anger and shock. “What if he finds out about you being a wizard? A guy that powerful can do anything?”

“He alreayd knows.” Newt mumbles out as he side glances her, noticing how her face heats up in anger.

“He knows?! For how long?”

“Almost a year.” Newt Cringes at her outburst as she continues to rant out about how dangerous this situation was. Newt is used to these kinds of conversations with his brother so he tends to ignore everything she is saying as he slowly drinks his tea and allows her to finish, wanting to seem polite and respectful.

“You can be in danger with all of this! Your creatures, your reputation!” She continues on. “Tina he isn’t a bar person, I did my research; yes, he is the leader of the British mafia but he wouldn’t hurt me. Not once has he done something that’s made me uncomfortable.”

“But what if he does in the future?”

“He wouldn’t.”

“How do you know?”

The two are suddenly glaring at each other. Queenie has to be the one to stop the arguing, “Tina that’s enough you’re upsetting him.” She whispers. “I just want you to be safe.” She tells newt, ignoring her own sister.

Newt stands up from his seat. “I can take care of myself.” He mumbles out in a soft voice, turning around he grabs his coat and heads outside to clear his mind. Every day is the same lesson, his brother was always telling him the same thing about not being careful or safe and now his friends were telling him the same too. It Just annoyed him!

“Newt!”

Newt continues to walk ignoring Queenies calls.

“Don’t ignore me, young man!” Newt froze at her voice and sighs, turning to face her as she placed her hands on her hips. “Good, I don’t like it when others ignore me. I find it very rude.”

“Sorry, Queenie.”

Queenie sighs and lowers her arms from her hips, she gently pulls newt into a hug and rubs his back. “Tina is just being overprotective, she wants to keep her family safe and the ones she loves too. She’s just afraid of losing you.” She explains, pulling away from the hug.

Newt slowly nods. “I know but I’m tired of people telling me what’s good and what’s bad. You know it’s hard for me to decide on stuff like this and this neighborhood is safe and I’m safe so she doesn’t have to worry.”

“Very well, then I’ll tell Tina that and make sure that she understands.” Queenie places a kiss on his head, smiling brightly as newt smiles back in return, comfortable with the kiss. “Go and clear your head I’ll handle Tina.” With that she turns around and heads back to the apartment.

Newt slowly smiles in relief, happy that she was going to help him sort all of this out with Tina.

“She’s a lovely women.”

Newt gasps in surprise, turning to his right to see y/n leaning against a wall, His head tilted to the side as he frowns. “Very beautiful.” He grumbled out.

Newt rasies a brow. “Yes she is, she’s my friend.” He slowly approaches the man, noticing the way that he was acting and speaking causes him to stay a few feet away in case anything were to happen.

“A friend? Now, now, newt we both know that a women like that isn’t just a friend.” Y/n pushes hismelf off the wall and steps forward, standing over newt.

“Are you—are you jealous?” Newt chuckles out in a way that causes the other man to feel weak for him. “Of course not.” He replies back which only causes newt to laugh a little louder. “Y/n she really is a friend of mine, besides she’s married!”

“I didn’t notice any ring on her.” Y/n huffs out.

“That’s because she’s married a muggle, she doesn’t show off her marriage when she’s back In America since it’s illegal to marry a muggle.” Newt explains, calming himself down from the laughter.

“Wait, she’s a witch?”

“Yes, she’s like me but her laws in America are different from here so for now she’s free to show her marriage until she returns back home.” He continues on.

Y/n sighs in relief, he thought that newt had moved on so quickly to a women that he’s here met before. After asking newt out multiple times he always ends up rejected and just seeing him with a women kind of hurt.

“Is she happily married?”

Newt thinks. “I’d like to think that she is.” He turns to look at his apartment, sighing happily as to knowing that his friends were inside probably waiting for him.

“I should head back, I need to apologize to a friend.” Newt steps back and smiled at y/n. “I’m still seeing you tonight right?” He asks quietly, looking away as y/n chuckled at him. “Yes, try not to be late again.”

“No promises, you know that my creatures come first.”

“I’m not important to you?” Y/n pouts.

Newt grins. “You’re not a creature but you are cute.”

Y/n’s pout turns into a grin. “Did you just—? Did I hear you correctly?” He takes a step forward while newt takes one back. “Are you calling me cute?”

“No.” Another step back.

“Don’t lie, Newt.” Y/n reaches out to wrap an arm around Newt and pull him close. Their chest touching as y/n smirks at him and leans down. “You think I’m cute?”

Newt whines. “Now your scary looking.” He blurts out, earning a frown from the other, rolling his eyes. “I’ll pretend like you didn’t say that.” He leans down to place a kiss on his cheek. “Don’t be late.” He reminds him once again, letting him go and giving him a wink.

Newt stumbles in his steps as he heads back to his apartment, he doesn’t look back because he knows that his face is red. So instead, he quickly gets inside his apartment and closed the door, pressing his back against it and notices the others staring at him.

Then Jacob stares at him and asks. “Why is your face red?”

Queenie then gasps. “He kissed you!” She squeaks out.

“He WHAT?!” Next was Tina.

This was going to be a very long day.
