Did they say it though.

[(Anonymous)]

Is that what you wanted? You wanted Dumbledore and/or Grindelwald to outright say, "we were in love"?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, actually. It would take all of a single second, presumably while they're already discussing their history with each other. Or would that that be absolutely impossible?

[(Anonymous)]

It would be unbelievable to me if either of them openly discussed their history with each other.

I know you don't agree. I know you don't care. I know you want your representation no matter what. I don't. I want believable characters and a slow reveal. So it feels pointless to discuss further.

[(Anonymous)]

You're damn right I want my representation no matter what, because right now I have to beg for scraps. But so sorry, pardon me for thinking "I loved him" is a believable thing for a person so say in a movie full of magical creatures. My bad.

[(Anonymous)]

Why do you think it would be unbelievable?

[(Anonymous)]

They're both private people, Dumbledore especially. They both regret and resent the relationship. They are both trying their best to forget they ever had those feelings at all - and failing spectacularly, as the film showed us, in what I consider an organic and remarkably clear and undeniable way.

[(Anonymous)]

And there's no way that you could have an unambiguous reference that worked with those factors? It's literally impossible?

[(Anonymous)]

Why not? If neither of them actually said that they were in love in the movies people can argue that they’re heterosexuals.

[(Anonymous)]

Ding ding, there it is!

[(Anonymous)]

It was the second of a five movie arc. Dumbledore was barely introduced in it. Give them time.

[(Anonymous)]

What's the acceptable period of time before we can say two characters dated? For straight people it seems to be one movie.

[(Anonymous)]

This.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if you're being disingenuous are or you're just obtuse but the two characters didn't get a chance to interact yet and one of them was in the film for maybe ten minutes.

[(Anonymous)]

Did their past relationship come up?

[(Anonymous)]

Dumbledore said "We were closer than brothers" to someone interrogating him about it. As it was he was effectively under a form of house arrest because of his past involvement with Grindelwald, saying that they used to play hide the sausage isn't something that would help him.

[(Anonymous)]

Because "I loved him" is the same as saying "we dicked down hard every night, yo"

[(Anonymous)]

Well that's definitely not unambiguous

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sorry, but given that we know that Dumbledore's brother liked to fuck goats -and that was put IN the books-, I think we could have had something better than "We were like brothers". At the very least a "I was put in house arrest for my feelings for him", or "despite all he's done, I can't hate him" Or SOMETHING that can't be ambiguously handwaved by the straight audience (And yes, I've heard people who claim Dumbledore is not gay and that it's all "fanfiction stuff")

[(Anonymous)]

Shit I forgot about Abelforth oh my god you're right.

[(Anonymous)]

There was nothing about Aberforth fucking goats.

That you assumed 'inappropriate jinxes' involving goats automatically meant animal fucking says more about you than anything else.

[(Anonymous)]

Says the person talking about a series where it took seven books for the reveal that Snape was friends with and in love with Harry's mom?

[(Anonymous)]

Snape's creepy crush is for another thread.

[(Anonymous)]

But... that's because it was meant to be a big dramatic reveal for plot reasons. We, as readers, already do know that there was a relationship in this case. There's no dramatic value to not displaying it. It's a totally different situation.

[(Anonymous)]

There is plenty of dramatic value to having it revealed when the two have an actual confrontation with one another where it has the most meaning.
