#key thoughts

Pls that’s so silly to me. Imagine opening your mind to the existence of other realities and allowing yourself to go to them but the second someone goes “my inner self doesn’t match my body” THEY LOSE THEIR MINDS 💀💀💀

I got more feedback on The Red Thread thing than I thought I would so here it goes. Plus from what I could tell no one else had brought it up which to me is baffling.

Like seriously I cannot be the only one to have a weeb background and found Vocaloid or any other media bringing this up, but here I am. So ya'll don't have to suffer through Japanese Singing Robots.

So, in these pictures we see Alice and Quentin working on what seems to be a pretty extravagant cooperative spell together. I do not think it is at all a coincidence that it is these two working on this spell. 

The spell itself is very large it spans both the table and the floor. There are ingredients everywhere: all over the table and on certain points on the floor. I see salt, feathers, a singing bowl, lots of bottles of alcohol, 6-7 white candles, unidentifiable cans of things, and something on the floor that kind of looks like a kettle or figurine. On the table specifically however there is a mortar and pestle with red thread wrapped around the pestle. The threads split into seven separate ones and connect to what appears to be seven severed fish heads. [Don’t worry I will get to the fish heads.]  

[Also, side note from the Witch: white candles are sort of the catch-all colour for candle magick. However their own meanings span peace, purity, healing, innocence, divination, and most importantly exorcism.]

Red Thread

Also known as The Red String of Fate, The Red Thread of Fate, The Red Thread of Marriage, etc.

So in Chinese mythology there is a legend where the gods tie an invisible red cord around the ankles or pinkie fingers of those who are destined to meet one another in a certain situation or help each other in a certain way. This mythology has crossed over to Korea and Japan as well but these ones almost always are connected to a matchmaking deity tying the thread around those destined to fall in love. Kind of like soul mates but with this thread as a tether. 

Which is why I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Alice and Quentin are the ones working on this spell. However I’m also fairly certain this spell has to do with Eliot.

Quentin’s primary objective is Eliot. Penny has been following whatever Julia tell’s him to do and she’s been helping Quentin with the Eliot objective, and Alice has mostly been working with the fight against the Library. However it is very obvious that Alice still cares about Quentin even if he really doesn’t care about her very much right now. So I feel like if she is needed specifically for this spell she would be more than willing to help even if Quentin is not keen on the idea. Which from all of these promo pics it appears he is not. I believe it requires her and Quentin to work together because of their connection to one another. 

However, the fish heads. Now I have two ideas for them. One is just that they are magical fish and they’re using the heads as some conductive magical energy? My stronger theory is revolved around the number seven. Which seven is already a very weighted number for magick (seven chakras, seven layers to the rainbow, the seventh son of the seventh son, etc.) usually spells are chanted in sevens because of this power that seven has. So there’s that...but there’s also the 40 timelines. 

Which ultimately effected seven of our main characters: Quentin, Alice, Eliot, Julia, Penny, Margo, and Henry. Arguably we could put Kady there but I feel like Fogg was more effected by the timelines than she was. Really either one would work but the idea is still there. 

DISCLAIMER: I recognize some of these people do really bad stuff and I do a lot of heavy scripting to make sure they don’t do anything unforgivable. So don’t send any hate or anything cause you don’t know the intricacies of my DR lol

Also I’m aromantic is a lot of realities so I don’t always script an s/o or I might but we’ll have a queer platonic relationship so I’m only gonna talk about the DRs I have a relationship in

SO WHY DID I SHIFT TO POSSIBLY THE WORST PARALLEL EVER???? Hell I would take literally the worst possible place as long as it wasn’t similar to this reality but noooooo 😭
