Okay but The Magicians has:
A bisexual man with depression that isn’t cured by love or discovering magic
A Native American woman who is suffering ptsd because of sexual assault and is never belittled for this
A woman who is allowed to be intelligent and sexy at the same time, as well as being selfish when she needs to
A gay man who suffers from alcoholism and drug addiction that isn’t treated like a joke
An Indian-American man who calls out racism, homophobia and sexism, and supports the women in his life
A Mexican-Indian-American woman who starts off as a party girl and becomes a great ruler who is allowed to be a bitch
A Native American-Israeli woman who is both mean and compassionate and these traits are able to coexist
A black man who is blinded but still retains his position of power and badassery
A woman who seemed like she was being brought in as a plot device but became a fleshed-out character with a storyline outside of her husband
Villains who are pervs and rapists and paedophiles and never shown as redeemable
A deaf character played by a deaf actress who is powerful and her deafness isn‘t just a plot device
A trans actress portraying a character who started as a villain and became an incredibly complex anti-hero
Three of the seven main characters are sexually fluid. The “coolest” of the group can speak fluent nerdom. The women are more badass than the men. The world is full of magic. And their vocabulary is a sailor’s dream. If you aren’t into The Magicians, what the fuck are you doing?
The Magicians + Harry Potter references
The Magicians + The only battle magic they can remember, apparently.
Look, I know we’re not supposed to fire off battle magic, but I mean, come on.
Ok, Fuck canon here's what actually happened.
Quentin dying and everything after was just a hallucination do to a psychotic break that's been building since about season 3 so for about 2 years. What happened in the mirror world is he thought about stopping and letting himself die after Penny and Alice left for safety reasons and Victoria the other traveler that we know was trapped in the mirror world came and saved his ass.!! Being a psychic that she is and being stuck in the mirror world for about a year along with being tortured by the Beast gave her excellent Mental Health radar and took Q to the hospital where you could get the help pain medication that he has so desperately needed and was took it away from him all the way back in season 1. Along with herself because she a little batshit crazy right now. And they become best friends it actually call each other on mental health issues instead of enabling and pushing people off further Cliffs. And Quentin is going to stay a while well he gets better and everyone else finally realizes Quentin is not their emotional punching bag so they have to go through season 5 without Quentin to fall back on. And Eliot continuously visits Quentin although does not confessed yet because he is waiting for Quentin to get better and focus on himself to show that he in fact will choose Quentin every time.!!!
Margo does not in fact put staring at a fish not even kind of boyfriend above her entire story arc for the season of getting her best friend back. And she realizes that she should have call Quentin out on his mental health a long time ago as her other best friend. Then continues to slap whoever implies that she wasn't showing emotional strength in her relationship with Quentin and Eliot long before Josh ever became an idea in her head.
Julia does get saved but you know sin penny is a psychic he mentally ask what she wants to do about her own body therefore taking back the own her own agency for herself. Along with coming to terms but how she totally ignored quinton's mental health decline when she was one of the ones that should have known and have warning signs and alarms going off because she was there when he first started getting bad at 16 and probably before. And finally get quinton's backstory of suicide attempts instead of just depression and institutionalization by having Julia confronted. Along with finally actually confronting what she did to him in season 1 episode 4 that still f****** kills me and is one of the things I'm still hung up about Julia I am still hung up about it. Especially with that bull shitt apology. That's not you saying you're sorry that's you shifting blame.!!!
KADY did not regress into I just want to be pennies girlfriend Portia taking away her entire progression this season and pretty much every season. Let's mention belittling one of the few ships actually showing to be okay didn't have all that much of a problem with it. And even relating Kady issue with wanting to die to quinton's for the growth and connection but two characters we have only seen connect about other people would be awesome.!!!
And how about we stop trying to take away adoption is in fact a druggie and making him up all too entirely wholesome in his relationship with Margo. It gives a really weird kind of vibe that only goody goody st. Could love Margo in honestly that's total b*******!! What the f***. He's one of the few examples the more we see of them the less of a character he actually gets.
Not to mention instead of the one-off morning b******* suicide is the only solution we got we can get all the characters even the ones that haven't interacted or connected with Q before to react to his mental breakdown.
Penny23 just stops getting carted around as a convenient plot story and gets to explore and contrast his relationship with his timeline 23 and here instead of just focusing on Julia and a really creepy kind of way. And we finally get some explanation on the whole Alice was the only Survivor of timeline 23 yet when we go to timeline 23 there's penny. What the f***
Even cooler is we can get to see Elliott try and grow into somebody emotionally ready for a relationship instead of just throwing him into what and say he is ready. Which will take the entire coldwaugh while ship into a whole nother level.
Find you want to do a time Jump In fillory, okay will do its time Jump In fillory but not 300 years with some b******* where we don't actually get any resolution on any points that has actually been set up in fillory that's not throw away. Move it forward a couple decades and we get to see a how often has grown as a person. The world has changed and the slow impact that they as king and queens because they are still paying in Queens there's four Thrones okay. Has had on fillory. And if you want a villain to be thrown in fillory just throw Plover back in so we can finally get rid of his ass like we should have done in season 1. Seriously why did nobody take Quentin up on the trying knife out on him seriously???
Everybody else can do with the McAllister b**** still after everybody. While trying to keep Clinton safe in His recovery. And the ramifications of The Magicians and hedges working together in a world setting. The library can also be headed play Zelda of the old order and Harriet since she had the right idea in the beginning instead of handing it off to Alice thing. Alice can go back to trying to find her own way since last was when she was interesting instead of taking somebody else's path.
I rather Drown by set it off is fucking mood.
So I was listening to some music trying to get my mind off of the insane amounts of rage and grief and depression The Magicians has said often me to try get out of this headspace I've been in since sucking and Wednesday. Only but it comes to Have Fun Pandora I'd rather drown by Set It Off which ends up being a therapeutic moment of sing-along cuz to me it describes the exact amount of both rage and hurt and betrayal about not only Eliot and Quentin but their story lines and general The Magicians the and the stab in the back. They gave her the other characters and their growth this season just all of it. if anyone agrees with me and happens to do music videos please please do your magic because all I want to do is go beast and rip out my f****** shade!!!
Mike Wazowski
Okay little headcanon confession time. When I found out the monster didn't actually have a name, I kind of really wanted Quentin to name him Mike Wazowski! I kind of just thought it would be awesome scene for a Quentin to call the monster Mike and one of the other questers be all like Mike I'm a monster be like Mike Wazowski kind of like Boo from the Monster Machine movie and everybody just look at Quentin judging his nerdiness. Of naming an ancient god monster after a monster Inc movie character. And the fact is any other time they mention the name Mike monster could have had a little Mike Wazowski moment. so much so the longer he went without a name the more I wanted it and now after the tragedy that is the season finale it's practically cannon in my head after remind myself it's not true. Seriously we have a child like monster and nerdy ass Quentin to me it almost seemed perfect!
Actors Vs Writers
I'm getting kind of tired of people defending bad writing by saying how beautiful a scene or moment was or how much they like a character in those moments. Just because the actor are amazing enough to make you feel what they want you to feel in those scene doesn't mean the writing in that moment or leading up to that moment was good or validated enough of a payoff to justify what the writer are putting down. In media on any screen that tends to be the actors job. Any good actor can pull you in even if its not the best writing. Case and point the Star War Prequels. A great actor can break yout heart even when the story diresction or action have you scratching your head. They can have you love a character that you have no business even liking. A moving scene is sometimes, unfortunately more and more often now a days due to a actor then good writing or the deadly duo of both working together. It seems now a days writer go for the shock value then the content. Its always been my veiw that actor job to make us feel it and a writer job to make us believe it. If you cry\laugh\cheer or etc. During a scene thats the actor doing their job. If you look back and it still makes sense to you and you still believe and feel that way even away fro the media itself thats the writer doing theirs. Lately I have seen some pretty damn amazing acting for some down right shitty writer. Feeling vs Believing is a very real thing in media lately and it makes me incredibly sad to think of what they could have made if it wasnt so. Think of all those moving moments mixed in all the bad writing or cheap ending that leave the bitter taste of copout in your mouth and just how much more they could have been. Even if it wasnt the ending you want or were expecting it would still have ascended those moments if the direction\story\characteristics was believable.
