Newt is madly in love with someone who’s already in a happy and established relationship, and decides that if that person can’t be with him at all, they won’t belong to anyone else.
Maybe Newt is using Theseus’ insecurities, Leta’s family’s reputation, and both of their egos against them. Maybe he’s letting it slip to Tina and Graves about the rumors that run around MACUSA, a few of them actually well-founded. Shit maybe he’s even using Credence’s own insecurities and naivety against him and his significant other. Doesn’t matter the ship, I just want a Dark!Newt that manipulates his surroundings to achieve his goal.
+1 if Newt is still in character. He’s awkward and shy and would die for his creatures and loved ones, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be cruel +1 if it ends with Newt comforting the person he’s in love with, telling them that it’ll be alright, they can tell Newt EVERYTHING because he’s their friend and they can always trust him
Newt/Anyone, Anyone/Anyone. Dark!Newt, Emotional Manipulation, if he can’t have them
