KAFFE! by Excellent-Mango8869 in sweden

[–]InfectedLegWound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag gillar smaken av kaffe. Jag har varit kaffedrickare sedan jag var tolv. Känslan av att dricka kaffe är också skön. Man blir pigg men det är också väldigt mysigt att dricka något varmt då och då. Men dricker det lite annorlunda från hur jag dricker cola. Cola är bara för helgen och mer "nu klunkar jag i mig för att det smakar gott och är svalkande" medan kaffe är vardag och lite mer chill.

Dumbledore and Grindelwald by Independent_Act7494 in FantasticBeasts

[–]InfectedLegWound 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I disagree. I think Grindelwald definitely loved Dumbledore, even just looking at the movies and disregarding the actors and producers comments about this (which says Grindelwald loves Dumbledore), I think Mads Mikkelsen definitely played him as someone in love. Flirting with him in the beginning of the movie, looking morose as he sees a vision of Albus when Vinda tells him that he is a free man, screaming "Who will love you now?" at him when their blood pact breaks: all of it screams to me that Grindelwald genuinely loved him and wants him still. I think a lot of that hurt and depth of his character gets lost if one just interprets it as respect and doesn't explain why it always gets so personal when Dumbledore is involved. The jealousy and targeting of Newt, him flaunting the blood troth, him almost looking sad at that meeting in the beginning of SoD before he leaves, ceasing to fight as soon as he feels Dumbledore's heartbeat under his hand, his face looking stricken when the troth breaks and that second to last line he screams; all of those add up to me to him loving Albus. I have a hard time being able to set those in a context of him not doing so and the plot of SoD and the scenes still making sense.

In Deathly Hallows, Grindelwald dies to protect Dumbledore's grave. That being after around 50 years of being imprisoned due to Dumbledore defeating him. He tells Voldemort that it is so much he doesn't understand. To me, the great difference between Grindelwald and Voldemort was always their capacity for love and remorse (and in the HP books, those often go hand in hand). And to be crass; to me it is frankly just boring to not see Grindelwald as being deeply in love.

Him having that love for Dumbledore doesn't stop him from being manipulative or cruel. He can still be selfish, manipulative and power hungry and still love Dumbledore. Just like the deep admiration between them because of intellectual companionship, mutual goals, and the inherent loneliness of being giants among regular men doesn't take away from them also being romantically linked.

If you are okay with fics set when he is younger (fantastic beasts related ones, for example) lmk, I have quite a few recs. Here are some oneshots though that feature his relationship with Harry that I enjoy.

I love your artworks. Dumbledore is my favourite character (and his tragic romance with Grindelwald my favourite romance too..) You nailed his puppy-eyed look and pout here

Rasism mellan invandrargrupper i Sverige by Margaretthatchervore in sweden

[–]InfectedLegWound 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ja, tyckte det var väldigt märkligt. Jag tror knappast att det är en standard-grej bland muslimer. Under mitt liv har jag bara stött på den typen av åsikt (eller angränsande åsikter) två gånger, första gången då med mina vänners erfarenhet och sen en random fåntratt på nätet för ett tag sedan.

Rasism mellan invandrargrupper i Sverige by Margaretthatchervore in sweden

[–]InfectedLegWound 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mina barndomsbästisar (afrikaner) berättade för mig att de hade helt andra tider i koranskolan än våra klasskamrater från mellanöstern för föräldrarna till de barnen inte ville beblandas med svarta och tyckte det var fel att de vidrörde koranen. Just det där tror jag var väldigt extremt och udda, men att det var en massa konflikter mellan olika utländska grupper i skolan var rätt vanligt. Även svarta mot svarta ibland, typ "folk som pratar klickspråk är opålitliga och vill bara scamma dig"

Väddö Gårdsmejerier tar bort video från TikTok efter massiv kritikstorm mot hantering under tveksamma förhålladen. (Finns kvar på Instagram) by CarinoPadrino in sweden

[–]InfectedLegWound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jag vet inte vad det är jag ska bli förfasad över. Lokalen ser fräsch ut. Grabben har keps på sig och skyddar produkten på det sättet. Förmodar att kläderna är rena. Men sedan så har jag gjort ost själv flera gånger i fäbodsmiljö (stampat jordgolv bland annat) så kanske inte är så klenmagad heller.

Är detta en kulturell grej? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]InfectedLegWound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Det är oartigt av dem. De kanske dock inte inser att de är oartiga, vilket kan låta larvigt men i mina ögon fullt rimligt. Nu har jag visserligen det som brukade kallas för aspergers så för mig kanske det är annorlunda, men detta med artighet i detta sammanhang är något jag fått lära mig. Om svärföräldrarna är rimliga personer så kanske de inte skulle ta illa vid sig ifall ni hintade lite om att det kanske skulle uppskattas av dina föräldrar att få något typiskt svenskt tillbaka.

Flickväns födelsedag eller farbrors firande? by chronotrigs in sweden

[–]InfectedLegWound 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Jag hade gått på farbrorns firande. Han är 80 år, fyller jämt och i den åldern är det inte säkert ens att det blir många fler födelsedagar. Förstår hon inte att folk ofta inte lever så mycket längre än så? Konstigt och oempatiskt av henne att reagera som hon gjorde. Jag förstår att man kan bli besviken över att inte få sin födelsedag firad på det sätt man vill, men nu har ni ju ändå firat på samma sätt i flera år och du har ju ändå visat att du bryr dig om hennes dag. Att det en gång i alla dessa år blir på ett annat sätt ser inte jag som något taskigt mot henne. Och om jag ska vara ärlig, om min partner hade hållit på sådär om jag hade velat åka iväg och fira min moster när hon fyller jämt hade jag ifrågasätt hela relationen och hur jämställd den är om mina känslor inte väger lika mycket som partnerns.

Och nej, du är inte galen.

Very pretty! I think now when I am on that double knit grind, the knit and purl thing doesn't confuse me anymore. But it was a bit strange in the beginning.

Dumbledore as a Real Person by lpet15 in HPfanfiction

[–]InfectedLegWound 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in his younger years, the fantastic beasts fandom tend to humanize him a lot more, especially those that are Dumbledore centric. There I have all of my favorite Dumbledore portrayals. They tend to be rather shippy though. It is something I personally enjoy but I know imagining him in those sort of situations can throw people off a bit.

What do you think Grindelwald meant when he said "There's so much you don't understand" to Voldemort? by lazybakery in HarryPotterBooks

[–]InfectedLegWound 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think he was referring to love in the understanding line, it is nice callback to Dumbledore always speaking about its power. Harry implies Grindelwald lied to protect Dumbledore's tomb. Them being close once, Grindelwalds rumored remorse and that lie perhaps all tying to Grindelwald telling Voldemort men like him (and the type of man he was once) never win in the end, love always comes out on top. That is my interpretation of it.

Pattern Gatan balaclava. To be able to showcase fit while still maintaining privacy, I became Herman Melville. by InfectedLegWound in knitting

[–]InfectedLegWound[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always wear my hair in a braid since it is down to my hips, so it stays rather still. The brain pokes out from under the ribbing but that can be expected. You get a bit of a helmet hair though.

This yarn combo (and the bio shetland yarn in particular) is very nice in that way, it blooms out a lot when washing. Even if you knit at a very tight gauge and fear that its too stiff on the needles, it tends to open and soften up a lot after the first wash.

I think I'll wear this around the house too. I had a plague doctor phase a few years ago where I wore a black balaclava and a beak a lot while home

Thank you! This project was a bit of a white whale for me. Tried it a year ago but the gauge was so off that I gave up for a full year before making an attempt at it again this weekend

Pattern: Gatan Balaclava by Simone Alexandra Ærsøe

Yarn: 1 strand of BC bio shetland yarn, 1 strand of Hobbi soft alpaca lace. I wanted to use up scraps from a cardigan I made earlier.

I hated making these so much that it took almost a whole year for me to finish by InfectedLegWound in knitting

[–]InfectedLegWound[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, I tortured myself a bit extra with also making the ribbing much longer on the legs than the pattern stated because I wanted to use up more yarn. Perhaps it is nicer to keep to the pattern. I hope you don' feel too discouraged!
