It's a fair deal. The Magicians | S03E13: Will You Play with Me? (2018)

[milquetoast-zeitgeist]

Ugh. Just got to the recap episode for P23. God, I can't stand him. He's such a creepy stalkery guy towards Julia40. And has zero empathy (or sympathy) for Kady. 🤢

penny vs penny fight!!

[monstermal]

Penny telling this rando baby librarian he has a "classic case of White Male Protagonism" is just *chef kiss*

[truefangirlheart]

Julia will definitely name her baby Quentin.

Quentin Wicker Adiyodi.

Penny 40 will lose shit when he finds out his DNA is in a Quentin

Arjun Gupta is literally amazing, I can’t think of many more actors who interact so positively/warmly/patiently with a fandom (like seriously, go on his Twitter RIGHT NOW he’s responding to basically everyone in a tweet where he asked how everyone is feeling. What a freaking champion). He’s like the personification of a ray of sunshine. So first of all NO ONE had better give him any flak for posting positive things in the past few weeks about the finale, because he filmed a fake scene for the episode that made him think the ending would be more positive, and he was only told about it super recently. 

And secondly, fuck the showrunners for apparently lying to him and making him inadvertently make the finale seem more positive than it actually was. And honestly, fuck any showrunner who lies to their actors because they’re worried about ‘spoilers’ or think it will make it more exciting that ‘even the actors don’t know!!’. It’s so stupid.

Me yelling @imawriteriwrite cause I had a want for The Magicians S5

Am I watching S5? Not sure. Will tumblr spoil? I'm good with that. Do I still have random fic ideas and just want certain things to happen? That's never ending someone save me from myself. Anyway here's what I would like season 5 to go like and I apparently made Shay emotional. This is literally copy and past from our convo. Enjoy.

-------

You know what. I kinda want one thing to happen in season 5. I want them to do another big quest (to bring back balance for magic/quentin/fix whatever's happening) and there's this whole dramatic sacrifice "one will not make it to the end" line and everyone thinks someone's going to die but it's revealed that when Quentin died/how he did because of the mirror world, he created this unstable universe which is causing an issue in bringing things back to some base level.

And so Eliot is done grieving and finally at peace but knows he'll always love Q and misses him but they need to fix this world again and magic.

So the people they finally find/make them reveal themselves (coward gods who just wanna ignore the problem) say a strong magicians who's been tied to Quentin must join him to stabilize their world.

For once everyone is torn because yes they know a bit more about El & Q, but it could still be with Alice or Julia. Julia a demigod. Alice who's all powerful. Eliot not as powerful but has the most control of the 3.

The best friend. The first love (wait fuck WAIT I SAW A CLIP FROM S5E1 BUT NO WE'RE IGNORING THAT). The (beauty of) life partner.

The asshole gods say the person will reunite with Q when they've decided (aka no actual deadline) and it spans another episode. Alice says she'll go because she's strong and ready and she needs to but then she doubts because she's grieved and moved on and started her life again, a good one.

Julia wants to because that's her best friend and brother and she's strong but also has started to grow back into her goddess-like hood and made a life for herself and Penny23.

Eliot has finally stopped grieving and has started to rebuild Fillory with Margo and Fen (omg nearly all the names come out as all caps 😂) and accepted that Quentin made his choice and he missed his but he can't dwell on it any longer.

They're all arguing and saying there's gotta be another way, a way to bring Q back to them.

Eliot is the only one who doesn't voice he should be the one to go. Margo point blank says Eliot should go. Penny and Kady and Josh agree.

It's Alice who asks him if he wants to go but Eliot just stares at his hands at a loss. Yes he does but no he shouldn't. He missed his chance and he's moved past it. He shouldn't be looking back.

Julia says that's BS because now he can clearly make a decision without all the grief and pain. That he's grown and healed and better. That he deserves a second chance after everything.

Eliot let's himself consider it. Like fully and truly consider it and then a doorway lights up behind them.

They all turn and Eliot feels a pull but holds tight to margos hand, the only thing stopping him from running away and running to it. She turns his face and gives him a soft look before sighing and glaring at him. "Go. Our nerd needs you."

And eliot looks to everyone but they all understand. Julia just smiles at him and says to tell Q she loves him. Alice is glaring at the floor but latches onto Eliot in a tight hug as she silently cries. "Tell him we miss and love him. That I'm sorry. That I want you both happy. Or else I'll find a way too you" she voices. He nods and hugs her back just as tightly. He walks to the doorway and it opens for him.

He can see Q and he just stares. Q is staring at him too. Both in awe and positively terrified their eyes are playing tricks on each other but Q extends his hand in his world and Eliot steps forward and takes it, stepping through the doorway. The last thing everyone hears is their joyful laughter as the door gently closes behind them.

Queue commercial

End commercial. It's a scene where we see everyone is sleeping (I can't think of what technical term it is but ya it pans to everyone in bed sleeping) and then it zeros in on Julia and she's blinking her eyes open to a white world that's slowly morphing with color and things.

She sees what looks like a small shack and a puzzle. She walks closer to it before being stopped by a barrier. She looks around and sees everyone else is there. They all group together and then both Eliot and Quentin walk out from the small shack.

They are the happiest and most peaceful they've ever been. Everyone can both see and feel it.

Everyone finally sees why they work so well, the proof that Eliot being with Quentin was the best choice.

Both Q and El look up and see them, sad but blinding smiles spreading across their face as they wave from their spot.

No words are said but you KNOW they're happy and good and at peace. That for once having to let someone go was a good thing, that it worked out in the end.

Everyone wakes up and they all gather to the living room and just group hug. Happy and crying and feeling so much before falling asleep again. The next time they wake-up it's the lightest they've ever felt, like something's settled and the world feels right for once. It doesn't last but it does return when they think if their weird group of friends, their family, when things are hard. It's hope for better. Hope for happy. It's hope to get through whatever comes next.
