Re: Percival Graves/Newt Scamander, autistic!Newt, ignorant!wizarding world, self loathing!Newt

Oh, now that is a good way of looking at it. I hadn't really considered Theseus looking at Newt as something of a kid still, but now that you've explained it I honestly like the idea. Behavior that might have been appreciated or appropriate when Newt was younger but being the "protective older brother," Theseus never really turns off that pattern of thinking as Newt gets older. Still better than the rest of the family probably, and the sentiment may be appreciated (eh... sometimes), but I can imagine how it could definitely get annoying- possibly even a little disheartening, not to just slather on some more angst, but if Newt goes home and everyone acts like he's a bother and the one person who doesn't still treats him like their baby brother, even though Newt knows he's capable on his own, I could imagine him starting to have doubts. Or least feeling a bit caged by the perceptions

And then there's Graves who, if you were to take the "Newt acting as a consultant" route (which is something I've kind of grown to like, honestly, like maybe he's on loan from the Ministry of Magic or something? ...how does magical bureaucracy work?), may treat Newt like something of a nuisance but has to at least take his opinion into account and it actually is useful. So maybe he starts paying more attention to Newt beyond "irritating, good with creatures" and through that kind of realizes that he is a capable adult and everything

But of course that wouldn't stop him from standing back and watching Newt attempt to talk his way out of trouble or pretend like he isn't breaking several dozen laws or think he's actually being subtle about something because damn if it isn't one of the more entertaining things Graves has actually gotten to see in a while (as long no one is causing permanent damage that he'll have to deal with later)

Well we can't both be embarrassed if we're both giving long-winded replies, we just have to cancel each other out :P I'm just waiting to see if someone yells at us for stretching out the meme by bouncing ideas back and forth. And I actually had a migraine last night so sleep wasn't particularly forthcoming, but it's gone now so it's fine. In turn, I hope your classwork is going well c:
