Oh, I know. I was using "straight" and "gay" loosely.

Would having sex with magical creatures like werewolves be included under the umbrella of pansexuality?

Only if there's a satyr involved. :v:

Well that was a big fucko of an ending.

How long are we going to have to wait for the payoff of fairies that can't be hunted but can totally hunt humans thing? I figured that would happen like, immediately.

And the loving bathtub that I'm still waiting to somehow be plot-relevant. I want to believe.

You missed the boat on that one -- Elliot and Margot gifted it to the people of Fillory in order to force faery kind out into the open. Happened back in episode 8 or 9.

Plot relevant again, I should say. I want that goddamn tub to somehow be critical to getting magic back.

Fairy Queen Tub for high king of Fillory.

Ember was also a pretty lazy dude so he probably convinced his brother to take this lovely little volcano rock and make it more orderly because it'd be less work. :v:

Lol my face is buried in my phone 95%of the time I’m watching tv. For instance, I had to wiki what the heck was up when Elliot kissed Quentin.

Okay I get the Isaac thing because gently caress if I can remember temporary names, but how do you black out the best episode of the series?

I feel like The Monster getting caged is going to end up being the equivalent of the old gods putting it in the corner for a few millennia to think about what it did. They’re pretty nonchalant about their kids actually dying, since even turning off magic was talked about as a temporary punishment for humanity killing Ember and Umber.

The constant downward spiral of Alice is both amazing and frustrating. You’d think turning into a soulless monster made of pure magic would be the low point of the character, but here we are.

Yeah no that 100% sounds right for something they would have lying around in the bar.

You know, for when Eliot gets really weird with the drinks.

I really have no idea how to explain the show. One time I called it Harry Potter or Narnia if they were sometimes nihilistic cosmic horror comedies. If you ever watch one of those and wish a character would scream an F-Bomb and pull a gun on a dragon egg, Magicians is your show.

I constantly describe the show as “Harry Potter but everyone is a little bit broken” although that stopped being an apt metaphor somewhere in season 2 so I’ll have to turn it into a Narnia version.

“Narnia but with Cock Barrens.”

Ideally briefly with a cannon, and then the sun after an explosive breakup.

I could also see some evil magician on the level of Martin Chatwin taking on Quentin's appearance to mess with everyone because they really pissed him or her off.

Its really a shame they got rid of Q-Beast as early as they did, him sniffing around a timeline suddenly full of way more magic than normal would have been a great season.

Feb 25, 2006

I still remember when I first started watching the show how I thought it was going to end up being the wacky adventures of Quinten with magic and maybe we’d get an episode focused on other characters occasionally. What a pleasant surprise that turned out to be.

It's Fillory, that crown is probably made of chocolate and pure LSD because Ember thought he might want a snack at some point.

Yeah one of the beauties of this show is that the whole cast is kind of main characters in their own right, even if Q was intended to be at first.

If you’re unhappy because it seems like Penny isn’t getting any character growth, I strongly encourage you to keep watching because he has the best arc out of the entire cast.

I think that was just the special once a century full moon that your options were gently caress someone without the curse, kill someone or rip yourself apart. The normal times you could just lock yourself in a cage to get through it.

Yeah, regular full moons are just a lock yourself up thing. The full on gently caress-somebody-or-die thing is once every 30 years iirc.

That was a hell of a look Margo had on her face at the end. She is not okay right now.

Feb 25, 2006

I imagine it was a bit of both. Eliot actually letting his feelings out in writing, and also bee tee dubs Everett done drank the reservoir look out for him.

I kind of figured they would go through with him sending the letter, but Q does what he did anyway because he's just that drat stubborn.

Margot hates that she’s feeling feelings is a pretty well established part of her character.
