#the librarians

if the librarians had a sizable fandom you guys would be woobifying the fuck out of Merlin

eve baird would NOT handle other guardians in her library well. until she would handle it with absolute ease.

nope sorry the implication that cassandra ezekiel and jake each have their own guardian now is still occupying my mind NON-STOP

the difference between lysa and cassandra and how they respond to the Magic of it all, as the resident natural scientists of the team, is fascinating to me and i do think it relates to lysa fitting into traditional schooling while cassandra did not. it's also because they have different dispositions but cassandra is clinging to something new and she wasn't allowed to pursue academics and when the opportunity comes around, she's ready to believe that all her life's work can still be done. and her parents smothered her, forced her to quit sciences due to her tumor. she's had too much structure all the time. lysa, on the other hand, lost her parents early on and she loves the confines of the academic field because it gives her the structure that was ripped away from her. and so she doesn't want magic, no thank you, she's open to the new ideas the library provides because she's hit a dead end but she refuses to believe that it can't be pressed into that system she so dearly loves.

and what if one day after another perilous adventure with a villain/macguffin of the week where they almost lose charlie (like she's temporarily captured or put in jeopardy by a spell or actually almost dies again) charlie and lysa hug like they have been after the last few adventures but this time lysa doesn't pull away for a long time and charlie goes "lysa?" but lysa doesn't answer right away and charlie realizes her shoulders are shaking and she hears little sobs next to her ear and when she asks what's wrong lysa says "stop going away. stop almost going away. stop making me think you're going away. stop making me scared of losing you. please." what then huh. what the fuck then

like ofc i wish the librarians fandom was bigger but in an age where people flock to huge commercialized fandoms for super popular pieces of media and treat them more like fads to drop once it's not Big anymore and the Era is over... more people need to have their soul touched by a show that has a tumblr tag of 10 people at it's most active time. it's good for you.
