Re: FILL: "Nothing Shall Be Impossible" Part 13/? - Grindelwald + Graves/Credence Breeding Program

[(Anonymous)]

A weird question, but it's nagging me every time I read this story: was it ever said that Credence is Protestant/Christian etc? That "Salem church" seems more like just a name for a place of gathering. Did I miss something in the movie? I honestly don't remember.

Anyway, Credence starts to like Percival, Percival starts to like Credence, and they can't do anything about it. Oh joy. I liked how Percival was telling Credence stories and how they were talking in this chapter - they are getting more at ease around each other, aren't they? Credence should know by now that not every aspect of magic is nice - and it would be nice if he cast that slashing spell at Grindelwald for hurting Percival.

I'm not surprised Grindelwald doesn't want to let Credence go. He cannot risk Credence getting hurt now, when he is pregnant, but also he can provide better food for Credence. Percival was right, Credence needs to eat properly now.

Thank you for this part and for giving us a mental imagine of sweating Percival. That was an unexpected, but very pleasing surprise ;)

Hi! Thanks very much for the question. You didn't miss anything! As far as I can remember, the movie didn't specify whether or not the Second Salemers were associated with any particular religion. I took a few creative liberties.

The HP wiki suggests that Mary Lou might've been descended from some of the original Scourers, so it made sense to me that she would've been raised to view religion as a kind of camouflage. Saying witches are real and need to be wiped out sounds crazycakes. Saying that witches are real and the Bible says they need to be wiped out hits that uncomfortable 'your religion makes no sense to me, but those are your beliefs' button that makes people back off. Add that to an emphasis on philanthropy, and you've got a veneer of respectability/sanity.

After that, I kind of figured religious indoctrination was the sort of thing an abusive person would use to make their victims believe they deserved to be hurt. It's one of the reasons Grindelwald doesn't scare Credence as much as he should; he's used to dealing with fanatics. And Grindelwald, outside of that one instance, has done more to heal than hurt him, which makes him less scary than Mary Lou. (Grindelwald is pretty much of the opinion that no one is allowed to break his toys but him.)

Sorry if this got a little TL;DR. But I am so with you, anon. Sweaty!Percival is a nice image.
