I was scrolling through my Fantastic Beasts board, and I found Theseus letter to Newt and Tina’s postcard to Queenie. And god, how different sibling relationships they seem to have:
This is what Theseus one says (In my mind his handwriting was more legible, I was pretty wrong):
I don't know how much you have heard wherever you are about what's going on in jolly old Europe but this chap Grindelwald has been making a lot of noise since you have been away.
He has upset a few of the big wheels and he's gone underground. I have been chosen to go and ferret him out. _______ at the chance to be picked, actually, because the whole _______ want to be on this case and it's taken some _______ hard work to reach this status.
Charismatic blighter, but the Ministry doesn't like him and nor does the International Confederation.
_______ wishing you well - wherever you are. _______ whatever beastly quests you are undertaking!
“Well, little brother”?, okay, good, no “dear Newt”.
Well he talks about Grindelwad and stuff, It’s from the first movie so I understand his concern. And he has ”been chosen to go and ferret him out”,
I wouldn’t thought that they were actually mailing each other, even worse, during fbawtft.
Not necessarily mailing bc it could easily be Theseus just wanting to report himself with Newt, like: I’m alive, if you mind.
In my opinion it is a little forced by him.
“whatever beastly quests you are undertaking!“ he wants to be a cool bro. (And the ! At the end makes it even better).
But the part that got me thinking, is the farewell:
“Am thinking of you, and hope all is well back home.
“_______ wishing you well - wherever you are. _______ whatever beastly quests you are undertaking!
What do you mean “best regards”? Take care of you, hope to see you soon, miss you, thinking of you, OR, if you feel very crazy you can be like: love you.
Why your best regards? I understand you’re not on your best terms to each other, but send a little bit more of love man.
(PD: I don’t think it as a letter that is meant to be answered, but even if it was, I’m sure Newt wouldn’t bother to answer anyway.)
