A Bad Salesperson Makes A Bad Dominatrix.
GUYS. SOMETHING HAS JUST OCCURRED TO ME. What if they make Dumbledore/Grindelwald more explicit in the Deathly Hallows films? Properly treated, that could be amazing. Dumbledore's love for Grindelwald makes his eventual defeat of him so very tragic, and I think Rowling missed a great opportunity by not making it clear in the books. The makers of the films have the opportunity to remedy that.
What do you think the nature of Dumbledore's relationship with Grindelwald was? Was Dumbledore's love unexpressed and unrequited? Did Grindelwald notice it and use it to manipulate Dumbledore? Was it genuinely requited to any extent?
(I rather like the 'Grindelwald is a manipulative bastard' explanation, I have to say. Sorry, Dumbledore. Ooh, perhaps Dumbledore inherited some of his manipulative bastardliness from Grindelwald!)
Actually, let's have a poll.
[Poll #1440014]
The reason for the Final Fantasy questions: I have realised that I am entirely determined to ignore the pronunciations of Seifer, Tidus and Yuffie's names given in Kingdom Hearts. THEY'LL ALWAYS BE SAFER, TYDUS AND YUHFIE TO ME. Are there any characters whose names you cheerfully mispronounce despite knowing better?
Finally and unrelatedly:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lassiterfics is holding a Round-Robin Commentfic Party. The idea: you post the opening of a fic! Others continue it! You continue fanfiction started by others! It is a rather excellent idea. (I have started a Merlin/Pokémon thread over here and encourage you to contribute.)
