Your version of Grindelwald is so slimy it's nauseating. So, I guess in that regard, good job? You've really written a Grindelwald we can all hate. On a scale of uncomfortable contact from hover hands to drunken groping, this is like Voldemort-hugging-Draco levels of badtouch vibes. Also, the way Grindelwald talks down to Newt in like the most patronizing way possible, like being an omega make Newt dumb and incapable of thoughtful and informed decisions was gross and he totally deserved the way Newt just conned him well enough for him and the others to escape. Super proud of Theseus for having the foresight to teach Newt some self-defense and how to con alphas enough to be able to escape him, but also super sad that Newt couldn't have pulled it off BEFORE Grindelwald forced that slave shackle onto his wrist. And the way Grindelwald made Newt thank him for that cage of a bracelet is vomit-worthy. At least Newt knows better than to believe what Grindelwald is suggesting about Theseus. He knows his brother loves him too much to hurt him like that.
And it was so sad and painful when he burned Newt's travel visa and revoked Theseus' guardianship, but also, probably, totally illegal? I mean, Newt is a foreigner, so he has no jurisdiction when it comes to ruling who can or can't be Newt's guardian. And even if Newt is in serious trouble with a foreign government, even as limited as an omega's rights are in this AU, he should still have the right to seek the aid of his embassy, who could then seek extradition and have him sent home to England to be dealt with there, and the REAL Graves would know those things. Part of me is kind of hoping that Grindelwald's legal mistakes here come back to bite him in the ass by cluing in the others that maybe he's an imposter. Idk much about how the law works irl for situations like this, but all those episodes of Law & Order kind of make me think this is how it works? And that Grindelgraves is making some serious blunders here in his effort to hurt the real Graves through his friend's little brother?
And I also just hope Newt can find a way out of this trap without, you know, having to resort to severing limbs? And also before Grindelwald gets anymore badtouchy than he already is...And Newt crying all by himself because of the way things turned out was just like pouring salt in an already festering would. Someone help him asap!
