part 1 /2 of Hale and Jason having fun on set / bloopers from The Magicians 3x05

- or: that time Eliot and Quentin took a break from their quest and got high af on Fillorian opiates

what she says: I'm fine

what she means: Quentin Coldwater sees no point in living in a world without Eliot Waugh in it. If the Monster would kill Eliot then Quentin would die trying to avenge him. He even puts Eliot's well-being over the fate of THE WHOLE WORLD and keeps helping a quasi-unkillable monster to potentially become even more powerful because "It's Eliot" and that is enough of a reason for Quentin, because he will protect (t)his man at any and ALL costs. Because he is Team Eliot 'til the end of the line.

The lineage of the Syfy series’ love story between two men goes back to Brideshead Revisited.

“Grossman knows that Brideshead Revisited is a love story. He named it one of the most romantic books of all time in 2007, swooning over its “dream of love — of both the heterosexual and, more subtly, homosexual varieties — that lasts decades.” In Brideshead Revisited, protagonist Charles Ryder never quite says out loud that he’s in love with his best friend Sebastian Flyte, but the romance between the two is lingering just beneath the surface of the text. It’s not hard to spot. It’s veiled just enough to get by in 1945.

The first Magicians book came out in 2009, but the relationship in Grossman’s books that most clearly echoes Brideshead Revisited, the friendship between mostly straight protagonist Quentin Coldwater and the queer and tellingly named Eliot Waugh, follows Evelyn Waugh’s lead in keeping any potential romantic angles mostly subtextual. Only occasionally does the possibility of sex or romance between Quentin and Eliot emerge into text in The Magicians novels, and when it does, it is nearly always inflected with deep self-loathing.

This week, The Magicians TV show finally made the subtext text. It explicitly signposted Quentin and Eliot’s story as one of romantic love, one where they would kiss and express their love for each other and it wouldn’t be a weird self-destructive one-off. It made the slash canon.

[...]

Syfy’s Magicians is a sweeter, less self-hating piece of work than Grossman’s Magicians is. It’s not as trapped within the stultifying confines of Quentin’s head, and over time, Quentin comes to seem like less of a dick than his book counterpart. [...]“
