My nipples definitely aren’t “female-presenting” (and never were) but that shouldn’t make a damn bit of difference in what’s considered acceptable content.

Before my top surgery if I’d posted a picture of my chest and had it taken down because it was “female-presenting” – tumblr, I don’t think you understand how excruciating that would be.  How invalidating and marginalizing.  I already struggled with my chest and that would tell me, you’re right to be ashamed.  You should hide.  The perception of your body is more important than your identity.

That’s what you’re telling everyone now.  That’s not okay.

Bodies aren’t NSFW. Art isn’t inherently NSFW. Sexuality isn’t wrong.

I actually quite like my nipples and paid a lot of money for my chest to look like this, so yeah, have a pic.  Why not?

Theseus is the only one who objects to Newt’s marriage to Albus. He keeps crowing about how Newt is too young and he doesn’t have to do this. But Newt loves Hogwarts and he wants to learn and finish his schooling. This is the only way. As time goes on, Theseus notices the little touches and how Newt seems to become increasingly dependent on Albus. He sees Newt tense or relax when Albus leaves or enters the room. Theseus knows it’s not healthy, but Newt refuses to hear him out.

Protective big bro Theseus, yes! He doesn’t doubt Albus’ intentions – much – but Newt is just too young for this, it has consequences Newt isn’t thinking about, of course he doesn’t want his little brother expelled but he’ll teach him magic his own damn self if he has to, this just isn’t right.

But the rest of his family doesn’t want the shame of their son being expelled, and maybe with a marriage to such a powerful and prestigious wizard Newt will turn out being good for something anyway. And Newt wants this after all, he’s practically begging to be allowed.

I love the thought that in some aspects Newt isn’t even aware he’s being trained. It’s pretty clear the gloves are a punishment, yes, but what’s not so obvious is when he starts to associate a touch at the small of his back with being reminded to obey, or a squeeze of his shoulder with being asked for silence. What’s not so obvious is how tense and anxious he gets when Albus refuses to touch him at all, and sags with relief and tries even harder to obey when Albus eventually relents.

Theseus can see it – the way Newt starts looking to Albus for confirmation or permission when he talks, how so many of his sentences end with “I’ll ask if it’s okay,” when Theseus tries to make plans with him.

Newt doesn’t see it, he doesn’t want to, and it simultaneously breaks Theseus’ heart and fills him with frustrated anger at the situation.

I wonder if Theseus would try confronting Albus about it once it’s clear Newt won’t listen?

I love how quiet Grindelwald is. He doesn’t shout, he doesn’t rage, he’s always in control. This makes him SO sexy and attractive of course dangerous omg. I think Credence would feel the same – he would be terribly scared of Grindelwald, but just being near him would make his feelings go wild. And Grindelwald would love his mixed feelings oh YES

Right??  It’s wonderful.  He’s coiled, poised, ready to strike and always in control.  He doesn’t have to posture because he already knows how fucking badass he is.

It would make Credence absolutely melt, and Gellert would feed off his fear and desire.

In CoG there was this scene where Albus stood in front of the mirror of Erised. I like to think that sometimes he went there all alone at night, looking at Gellert in the mirror and pleasuring himself. The guilt (bc of Ariana) and pain Albus must feel, and still he can’t resist stroking himself while watching Grindelwald smirk. I like to think that somehow Gellert knows and enjoys it.

The poor man… I love it though.  He knows exactly what it feels like to go mad in front of that mirror, aching for the touch of hands he can see but never feel, the sound of a voice when he can see lips moving but never hear it.  All the guilt and shame and pain welling up in his chest, and he comes gazing into Grindelwald’s eyes, a sob ripped from his throat.

Idk how Gellert would know, but I love the image tbh – how smug he’d be knowing what his memory is doing to Albus after all these years.

When Albus marries Newt his intentions are honorable, but he is a man and he has those dark thoughts. He remembers Gellert’s betrayal and how he left him. He worries Newt might leave or betray him too. So he decides to train Newt to be a good boy. Not only will things be better for him, but for Newt too. It’s good to be a good boy, right? He starts training Newt through touch. The gloves are his punishments and Albus’s actual hands are his rewards because he’s not allowed to cum from the gloves.

Omg I love this.  It all started out with the best intentions, but just… slowly… went wrong.  Not that Albus or Newt think of it that way – Albus is doing the right thing, the necessary thing, and Newt – well, by now Newt just wants to be a good boy for his husband.  He trusts Albus, he knows he’s doing this to help him, just like he’s done so much already. Newt owes it to him to be a good boy, and he did take a vow of obedience.

And the training works.  He learns to love Dumbledore’s hands, and even to love obeying.  He feels so secure knowing Albus is making the choices; this way Newt can’t ruin things again.  Albus wouldn’t ever say that to him, he truly doesn’t want to shame or humiliate him for what happened, but Newt knows it’s better this way.  He needs someone else to make the decisions or he’d just make more mistakes.  So he doesn’t fight when Albus takes control.

ooooh I like the concept of Grindelwald watching Credence touch himself. Do you think he’d be more into playing with the boy himself, or just watching him masturbate?

I think he’d do both.

He’d seduce Credence slowly, being so careful of his boundaries and never to push him, never asking for anything he wasn’t comfortable with.  He’d be patient and so very kind, giving Credence soft touches and working up to kisses, never ever doing more than he could handle.

And he’d watch Credence play with himself at night, so achingly aroused by seeing his tentative, exploratory touches as he learns his own body.  Credence had always been taught that touching himself was a sin so he’s rather inexperienced, but Gellert finds his naivete in that area incredibly attractive.  It feels so intimate to watch him discover pleasure.

He finds himself looking in on the boy quite often, and before long he notices a pattern – Credence is much more likely to return to his rooms and start touching himself after Gellert gives him a nice, deep kiss.  On the day Credence cries out his name when he orgasms, Gellert comes harder than he has in years.

And when Credence finally finds himself in Gellert’s bed, he knows just how Credence likes to be touched?  All the right places, exactly the right pace, how??

What about Credence being the whipping boy for all of Gellert’s anger and resentment towards Albus? He couldn’t have him, and Albus turned his back on him, so now he has Credence (possibly young Dumbledore brother) to take it all out on, both as punishment and sex.

I am so here for Gellert taking out all of his issues with Albus on poor Credence – who, despite presumably researching the wizarding world after leaving New York, cannot possibly have the full context for who Albus is and why Gellert is does what he does.

Personally I have a soft spot for Gellert being horribly, manipulatively gentle with Credence, but I can get behind Gellert being rough and aggressive with him as well.  Perhaps after he’s thoroughly won Credence to his side and doesn’t need to be so careful with him anymore his behavior starts to change; the gentle touches turn more demanding, words become harsh, and gradually Gellert grows outright cruel.

He’s still kind and gentle sometimes, though – when he’s in a good mood, just often enough to make sure that Credence won’t ever leave him.
