If Hogwarts had social media part 44

Newt Scamander

[uefb]

This is the beginning of an edit about Newt Scamander's childhood, thru school and then young adulthood in WWI. It exists in a different universe than my fics do, but there’s a great story and character arc for Newt hidden in this song, and I really wanted to try to put it together and pull it out. 

Also--at this point--I should really be paying Newt for therapy, because I’ve processed so much lifelong shame and confusion from watching his character. Even more so than watching other things with autistic characters. I think its because the point of Newt isn’t just that he’s on the spectrum, like it is for *so* many characters in popular media. Newt just is, with all his strengths and faults and foibles, which is very relatable to me, as someone who grew up--well into adulthood--unidentified and undiagnosed. (He’s also not characterized as being an asshole, despite being very intelligent, something that’s very much missing in most autistic representations in media.)

Twelve-year-old me would have loved Newt so much. 

Autistic representation really does matter.

Anyway, I’ll post the full thing to YouTube when I’m done, probably early next week.
