Five Seasons of The Magicians Day One: Underappreciated Character

♫ PURE FUCKING MAGIC | a tribute to five seasons of the magicians

“stop playing. start living.”

a totally serious mix to sing, dance and cry to at the end of the world.

This playlist comes with a letter. 

With the season and the series drawing to a close, I want to take this opportunity to say a short, emotional goodbye. This show has been an amazing ride, and I’m so glad I got to experience a few seasons of it in real time, ups and downs included. Said better than me by Chris Fisher on instagram: “We changed the world. No hyperbole. And for the better. We may have fucked it up a little too, but the world doesn’t stand still and great storytelling always loves a good challenge.” As a creator, there’s nothing more inspiring.

And so I’m dedicating this to all the people who made this journey worth it: 

@existentialmalaises, the Margo to my Eliot and the Eliot to my Margo. You know how much I appreciate your friendship, more than I can and will put in a simple tumblr post. I’m so glad I managed to convince you to give this show another try. This one’s to all our headcanons and the stories we’ve created, and all the new worlds we’re bound to create in the future. 

@glitterandmabel, the Julia to my Josh ok no I’m kidding, thanks for allowing me to drag you into this show girl. As always, it was a pleasure to watch this show along with you and hear your thoughts, both insightful and funny. Thanks for indulging me and being along for the ride.

@emilygreenstreet, @highquinn, @serenity-the-firefly, @vriah, @alicequinn, @lesbianjanetpluchinsky, @alice-quinn and @highonlizardeliot​, the island of reason in an at times clusterfuck of a fandom. Thanks for keeping me sane, for the discussions and analysis and for letting me rant. 

@highkingfen, @parallelbeetle and @twyllodrus, for the beautiful art and edits, and the endless positivity. You guys brightened up the fandom just by your presence. 

@bumblebaubles and @thehollowprince, for the liveblogs, smart commentary and meta. I looked forward to seeing your posts in the tags every week, and you never disappointed. 

...And another massive thank you to everyone else who made this fandom an interesting and welcoming place with their creativity, kindness and insights.
