Fillory or Bust

DJ Cat; interested in magic, Magicians (the books are canon, the show is a gift), true love. Often I have no idea what you're talking about. "Welp," said Quentin, "Let's get questin'."

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Brakebills Book Club

Hello magicians and hedgewitches alike! The series returns in 2018 but without something better than Richard’s quarterback spell, that’s a long wait and a major bummer. So I figured while we wait, we should take advantage of our little corner of the internet and fandom to either reacquaint ourselves with the novels that inspired our favorite show and for some of you, experience them for the first time! Whichever group you fall into, EVERYONE is welcome to participate! 

The logistics are currently in the works but the premise is rather simple. Following the tentative starting date of August 15th, we will be reading Lev Grossman’s trilogy from start to finish with a requirement of one chapter each week. You most certainly can read to your heart’s content but this gives those with a busy reading schedule or other commitments the chance to follow along at their leisure. As each week progresses, I will be posting discussion questions, and opening the floor to submissions for thoughts, opinions, and more! The only rules are to keep the conversation friendly and respectful towards differing opinions while also sharing your own. 

Send me an ask to sign up for now until the official blog is all set up and ready to go. I will be creating a running list of all the participants and giving us an outlet to introduce ourselves. Stay tuned for more information by following the #brakebillsbookclub tag. 

See you all in Fillory very soon!

It was about time I started my fourth way through these books. Sometimes I don’t want to read anything else.

TA FUCKING DA.

Funny how “fandoms” just end up leaving a lot of people feeling out of the loop and not knowing what the hell is going on. So much happens privately that then gets discussed publicly as if “everyone” should know what’s happening, and it ends up being like a bad day in high school, every day. Except it’s worse because you’re here to have fun and it’s not fun to be standing outside the circle. Be cognitive of the fact that not everyone automatically understands the unwritten social rules. Be inclusive! If you were ever excluded from things in grade school or high school or, hell, even at the office, think about how terrible that felt and apply your feelings to your online life to do better. Stop creating little cliques within your fandoms or you’re no better than the bullies who probably drove you to an online life in the first place. Everyone likes to belong, to have something special, and that’s completely understandable, but it’s too easy to become a Heather or a Regina. Resist that urge! Of course you have friends or mutuals who are closer than others, but that doesn’t have to play out in your daily online life in the fandom.

I just want to see cute/funny/emotional/smart/hot photos and posts. I want to find photos or tweets or whatever that other fans haven’t seen yet and share them. I’m not here for a social life myself, but I know that this place is a lifeline for some people and empathy for others is the thing we all need more of. This isn’t going to win me any friends and I’m sure my numbers will go down (¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), but I see people hurting. Actually, who am I kidding? I’m outside the circle myself so I’ll be lucky if two people read this!
