Doing Shipping Wrong, Day Three: they are the worst possible thing to happen to each other ship

[kr1se1even]

The Harry Potter fandom has become a frightening place since the last time I ventured in here.

I’m not sure if I’m ready for this, but here goes.

"They are the worst possible thing to happen to each other" ship:

Dumbledore/Grindlewald

YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES TO EVERYTHING YOU SAY

Stupid brilliant boys too wrapped up in each other the rush of power to let the reality of their plans sink in... Ugh, this shippp. I can't handle my feelings.

^ Everything you just said.

They just have all the makings of a beautiful story, and the tragedy of it is that they succeed, really. They are too brilliant, too passionate, too great for their own good. If they had been less, they could have lead happy lives together, and instead - in their own ways - they both kind of ended up alone.

Though Dumbledore did make a better go at it, obviously. :P

YES. This is so heartbreaking. *sigh* What an actual tragedy. It makes me want to cry for Dumbledore.

[kr1se1even]

I know! It is a really sad story, if you think about it too long, which I - of course - just did, and then forced you to do, as well.

But Dumbledore is the best character because he learns from this horrible experience - about others and about himself - and he moves on from it to lead this amazing life. Which I think is pretty awesome.

Lol yup. How can you get any worse than egging each other onto world domination with strong colonialisation subtext? Brilliant boys, so effortlessly privileged with power and skill and arrogance. *Sniffle*

Their story is the most tragic, and I stand by what Harry suggested SO HARD.

. . .or maybe from breaking into your tomb?"

GAH.
