I don’t really do edits but I was thinking...
The Magicians as the Seven Deadly Sins!!!
Okay but you could’ve guessed that everyone’s favorite snarky High King would be LUST. Although I would say both Eliot and Quentin get almost the same amount of hookups over the seasons, Eliot embodies the virtue with his decadent personality and his love of seducing people as a way of getting what he wants.
My beloved Destroyer Queen is the obvious choice for WRATH because no one slays like Margo. Sometimes it feels like she doesn’t feel anything, but as soon as that crown touches her head and things start going to shit in Fillory, she’s on the warpath and ready to take out her enemies by any means necessary.
Perennial sad boy and troubled puppy Quentin is my choice for SLOTH, although I don’t want to confuse that with laziness. I think Q sleeps on his potential a lot of the time, and is very indecisive because he constantly has to protect himself from all the trouble that follows him and the gang.
So this GIF doesn’t completely embody the virtue, but Alice was the first person I thought of for GREED. Alice has been chasing greater knowledge since season 1, and, although at times it is for selfless reasons, after her stint as a niffin, she turns almost completely self-serving and will sell anyone out to get her way.
Ever since Julia started her journey in season 1 outside of the friend group, she embodied ENVY to me. She has certainly grown a lot over the seasons, and I do really love her as a character, but she has always realized how unfair her situations are and wished to find reprieve. That’s why she gives up her magic to Alice, I think; because she is envious of feeling normal and without trauma.
Look, Josh is still a secondary character to me than the actual 7 main characters, but no one embodies GLUTTONY better than him. Whether it’s partying, getting high, or snacking on tomatoes, he eats that shit up. Josh wants everything the world can provide him, so he latches on to whomever he can.
And the lovebirds are actually both equal for me in the department of PRIDE. Depending on who is in a worse situation, both Penny and Kady are adamant about saving their own skins and following their own principals. Whether it’s Penny handling all his Library/Underworld problems alone, or Kady spending time in the mental hospital, these stubborn sweethearts are willing to (in some cases, literally,) die on the rock to be right in their own minds.
