I am on my 7th rewatch of the series and always wondered how Quentin got to move on immediately. The I remembered that in s2 ep5 him and Julia have already checked in to the underworld. So, he was already at the front of the line just not dead yet😂

I think about him a normal amount

Love this episode. May be because I’m a huge Margo fan. The music is a nice touch. Mostly, just love it giving her so much depth.

It’s my favorite type of casting mechanic throughout fantasy, and I have been wanting to use it in my own creative writing, but I get tripped up on the pragmatics. My understanding is that magicians draw energy from around them and combine it with internal drive (usually pain), and direct it with tutting. But it doesn’t necessarily seem like certain movements are connected to certain phenomena. I’d love to hear people’s thoughts!

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Charlie looks like an evil Ed Sheeran?

When Kady and Penny are talking about tattoos, she shows Penny a tattoo on her wrist that makes her have 20/20 vision in the dark, but when she and Julia are searching for information about gods in dark alley ways, she uses a flashlight

I find her so unbearably conceited, self centred, annoying, and just generally a dick. She constantly does things only for herself without thinking about how her actions affect others and shows no remorse for the result. I didn’t like her in season 1 but now that she’s lost her shade she’s absolutely unbearable. I am open to having my mind changed lol

Spoilers for multiple seasons of the TV Series!

So I’m doing my annual rewatch right now, and I just don’t understand how Zelda knew about Margo being called Janet back in season 1 if it happened AFTER the great blank spot, and AFTER they defeated the beast? They didn’t defeat the Beast in any of the other timelines, and in some Margo even died. So logic is telling me that timeline 40 is the only one where the blue potion from Dean Fogg was used on the main cast. Right? Am I thinking too hard about this?

Apparently there are 9 different types of shows they can create out of the magicians that will be just like or better than it I don't care what they put out as long as it's the same people that wrote the first ones!!

Does anyone know if there is a working copy of the Brakebills U website that Syfy hosted during the airing of the show? either that one can download, or is live on the internet? The wayback machine has plenty of captures, but they appear to use features that way back does not support. Or perhaps newer browsers no longer support them? I know it was a very complex website. Any method that anyone knows to access that content in any way is much appreciated.

I made this maybe someone needs it, I can share files if someone wants to make it better

I think I need some real help, I finished the series month or two ago then not even a week or so later started from start again and finished a week or so ago and now I’m contemplating starting again and I think I need some help I have an obsession, if anyone has another show similar the magicians to suggest please do

Quentin has a history of breaking things when he was a child e.g. his father’s model airplane and his mother’s ashtray. His Discipline of Minor Repair of Small Objects is definitely fitting especially since so many things in the series are broken, specifically the characters. Since you can’t fix the big things, you just fix small things because those count too, maybe even more.

Did you guys know that IRL Quentin's actor was married to the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Hi all,

I am watching The Magicians again after a long time, and man, I can't comprehend how could >!Dean Fogg betray everyone (except perhaps Alice) so badly.!<

Like, what the actual fuck? How could he let >!The Library to keep all the magic to themselves after Quentin and others killed the beast and especially after Julia became an actual God who was not only friendly but cured Fogg's own eyes which nobody else could fix before?!< I can't remember how the story continues, but I really, really hope that >!Fogg!< was forced to do this or he has some pretty good damn explanation for what he did.

First, I will be very up front with this. I have ADHD. I recognize this could be one of those things that sounds really awesome to me now and fizzle in a week. Sort of hoping turning it into a collab project will help keep the flame alight and honestly, I feel more confident and world build better with people to bounce ideas off of.

This is all very ethereal right now. Was thinking I could find 4-5 people to try and build a system that is fun and feels authentic. My current thoughts is about 20% combat max with 80% narrative. I was also thinking a tier system, well not sure if that is the right name but sort of what whitewolf has where you have 4 circles filled for tutting, so you can do these sort of spells instead of having a stat that you roll each time. Or maybe a FATE d6 system. I just feel like d20 doesn't fit this world well.

I do got a lot of bits and pieces jumbling around in my head.

• Two possible starting points with maybe a 3rd advanced one, Hedge Witch, Magician, and Self-Trained
• A character can have a limited number of memorized 'spells' and then its a check to remember one you don't have memorized or to find it. My thought is that you will only easily remember spells you use every day. Sort of like math, there are so many obscure niche topics you may have learned that if you haven't used it in a few months to a year, you likely need to at least glance at its structure to figure it out again
• Hedges would get bonuses to social skills, contacts and memorizing spells
• Magicians would get things that relate to language, finding spells, and circumstances
• Not sure if disciplines should be random or chosen, I see merits for both
• Think disciplines would just be a blanket decrease in spell difficulty outside of knowledge, knowledge I think would fall under more nuanced things like finding spells, a global but lower difficulty in circumstances or being able to shift a spell to do something outside its normal scope
• Languages I do not want to get too complex into, thinking maybe have it cost more to raise then other things but its only three levels. Native Only -- Living Languages -- Dead Languages.
• Likely have an exotic tier that would be a list since those should be super rare like Fillorian. No matter how smart you are on earth, you are not learning Fillorian easily if at all.

Does anyone have/know where to find pictures of the graffiti walls from each season? I kind of want them as wallpapers for my computer but I can only find low quality images of them and I don't really want to screenshot them while watching the show (I will if I have to tho)

​

Also if this is the wrong flair can someone let me know so I can change it?

I just want to say that till now I haven't found a show similar where I can transport to fillory land and feel like I live there, and be emotionally so much involved, I can't, it's like a first kinda love, god damn, now I'm like why did I even watch it, if I'm gonna compare all other shows with fillory, and never get that satisfaction after watching a show, ughhh, but anyhoo I have already created episodes on what happens when Margo presses the button😏

I was walking through my backyard and came across this button washed in from the heavy rains. I'm looking for the door to open. Hopefully, I can send a rabbit to my family to let them know I'm queen and I haven't made any fairy deals. #themagicians

I finished the series a while ago with my dad and watched it again after that myself. I really really love the series. Is there a series that is like The Magicians? Just the same random storyline where you never know whats next and the same drama and amazing characters.

So in season 5 they say rupee bonded himself to filling and Martin put him in an internal sleep, then when the surges happened leading up to harmonic conversion but why didn’t he wake when magic shut off the eternal sleep was a curse and we saw that magic off stops curses like with q’s dads cancer and pick allowed to sit upon the fillorian throne, I mean one could also argue why he was still tied to fillory since that was magical

Slowly learnin' that life is okay

Say after me

Quentin Coldwater Lives

Timeline 41: Please feel free to actively Challenge me with known knowledge of both the books and movies.

Hear my out, The Books are ground 0 (AKA timeline 1) the tv show is timeline 40 with space for all the extra timelines in the book and all the direct timelines in the show leading to the last episode. Book 1-3, Timeline 1-40 all leading into the present moment, which I’m Dubbing timeline 41. where the magicians are being punished for pissing off the moon. And The New Class have to fix whatever has been broken, on top of our own shit. 

With The Multiverse becoming comprehensible to the “Muggles” it isn’t a coincidence that nature always has a loophole. And as a punishment to the High Kings & Queens Of Old Fillory (Plus Penny) for the moon’s destruction, Natures Loophole manifested as Fen (Oh how we love Fen) who isn’t the brightest chicken in the coop.

When she asked for the best of Fillory and the best of earth. No one put into a thought in the moment that there are INFINITE Earths throughout the multiverse and only ONE! Fillory (Now New Fillory). Due to it being created by Two Lesser known Gods. And as we learn about Magic, it is very literal.

So now we have Team “New Fillory” stuck there as we don’t know what happened after the last episode. And we can Assume that Fillory Being Fillory, even with the Best of ♾️ Earth’s and itself Combined are gonna have its own sets of problems. And from a firm magically educated guess (Even as a Filthy Hedge Witch Like Myself) the only logical explanation and magical clue given leads directly into The Magicians: New Class. 

Which I almost died multiple times trying to get my hands on a copy multiple times and quickly figured out that the same spell placed on the Team during The Completion of The Seven Keys Quest has been placed on me. But luckily I did manage to get some help from Timeline 0 (Ground 0) Alice in her Niffin form, as our Alice of timeline 40 was the only Niffin Alice to be brought back.

So from my understanding and research (Correct my BRUTY IF I AM WRONG, for my Fellow Knowledge Disciplines, “Check My Meta-Math!”)!!!! Meaning everyone who stayed behind has been warped into this new timeline somehow. And the Summer Bishil we know is a Rebirth of Margo, Watch Jupiter Ascending to understand (With further research I found out ones Jupiter Ascending can even span The Multiverse). And due to the already wack time difference between Fillory & Earth, there could be no telling how much time will be Wacked before New Fillory lets them back to earth. My theory is New Fillory has taken a page from Narnia book, meaning when Margo was going through her solo time loops it was like an Encanto level miracle allowing her to literally plan….So Which means, even if a lowly Hedge Witch like me can figure this out. I’m sure others can as well But anyway, a Message from High King Margo Of New Fillory….. Who’s Ready To Endgame This Shit💯🫶🏼

P.S: The Eclipse On Book One Matches Up With The Eclipse Season Happening Now.

I'm late to the game and just finished the tv series...I loved the show...very sad to be done with it...any suggestions on what to watch next in a similar genre?

Since I am technologically challenged today, I decided to just scrap the other post I made and repost here. I went and got some ink for my birthday and decided to get Julia’s finger tattoos along with the Empath symbol.
