Fabian Seacaster is an enigma to me, not because of who he is, but because how I feel about him. Fabian Seacaster is entitled, spoiled, self-absorbed, rich, rude, and worst of all, a teenage boy. He believes he's the coolest person in the world and deserves everything good and cool to happen to him. You're supposed to like him, but want him to be humbled, go through character growth and realise everything isn't about coolness. Yet. Yet that's not the fucking case. Every single time Fabian tries something cool I want him to succeed. I want him to win all his fights even when it's unreasonable that he should. He starts PvP with Pete fucking Conlan, the sweetest guy ever. A trans man from New York with a pet butterfly who lives with five roommates and is best friends with a goth and 60 year old, he's always dressed in a cowboy hat and fishnet shirt. And I love him. And I'm still rooting for this entitled little shit to win. He doesn't deserve to. And yet.

[fandom-frenzy]

#may I propose-#the reason that audiences root for him (despite his basis on being a pretentious popular rich kid jock)#is because his is a Cringe Fail Loser#his first ever fight he spends almost half of his turns just trying to jump onto a table#he routinely gets the shit beat out of him and is reality checked constantly (i.e. when he’s denied a spot on the bloodrush team)#but in spite of all that he’s still an overconfident dork that people WANT to root for#because dammit he’s giving it his all!!! and we want him to be cool too!!!!#he’s an underdog who doesn’t act like one#which for me I think is pretty cool because I’ve seen a lot of ‘traditional’ underdogs#whose whole personality revolves around that surface-level idea of being smaller/weaker/less skilled etc but ultimately winning#NOT FABIAN THO#no he loses all the time and remains a true Chad#he thinks he’s hot shit and he isn’t but he never stops trying to prove that he is#and I think that’s refreshing#he’s an underdog who DOESN’T ‘beat the odds’ or win something he realistically shouldn’t have#I think it really expands upon the idea of an underdog#because the whole point is that they aren’t likely to win but keep going anyway#and if that doesn’t describe Fabian Aramais Seacaster I don’t know what does#also he’s stupid and I love him<3 (via @thehorrificdaydream)

brennan's full commitment to the bit leads to some of the most beautiful things ever created <3 give me more anime girl evan kelmp shadow immediately <3

[ghostlyeris]

do you think that for a brief moment, even through the gumption of trying to get the qohlye to give sam magic powers, evan felt vindicated? he's never been terribly good with people but he's always been good at reading them. and now, after years of telling sam and her not really believing him, evan is being told to his face by the only being that knows the objective truth in the world that sam is exactly how smart as he always thought she was.

Erika's caption really should have read "[Irish stereotype cartoon fighting noises]" dropout dropped the ball there 🤣

[itsgonnagetinspiringsoon]

You're laughing. Evan Kelmp ate his dad, demon Clint Kelmp, who ate biblically accurate Criss Angel Mindfreak, who ate a fish bat that's the concept of alteration magic and you're laughing.

It’s wild to me that when I first watched MisMag season 1, I kept waiting for Sam to use enchantment magic on people. It was so obviously her strong suit (her wand was described as being like a microphone iirc), she just had to lean into it, but she repeatedly chose not to.

And then in MisMag season 2, we get to see her actively refusing enchantment magic instead of just avoiding it. Magical deities are asking why she didn’t go back to Seagull Peloton because it would suit her so well. The discord was VOICED IN THE NARRATIVE, and then,,

and then we see Sam’s breakdown when she’s fighting herself. I’m not actually good, you just fell for the lie. And her choosing magic of truth and knowing over magic of convincing takes on a whole new flavor. Because that’s Sam saying that she wants truth instead of admiration, when admiration is all she ever gets. She wants someone to see her, even as she believes that the her they would see is not actually good or smart or-

Her story came together so beautifully in that moment to me because it put all her choices about magic in perspective. And in the end, she proves again and again that she doesn’t NEED the enchantment magic- she already has that power, no magic required, and she wants truth instead.

character misses their shot and the villain goes "ha! you missed." and the main character goes "did i?" and then shoots the villain again while they're frantically looking around the room for what the hero could possibly have aiming for instead

[seven-oh-four]

i hate the notes on this so much so many people are saying shit like "and then the hero shoots the villain while they're looking around!! XD" THAT'S WHAT THE POST ALREADY SAID. THAT'S THE ENTIRE JOKE.

Evan: “Dream small!”

…you know, it kind of makes a weird kind of sense that the formerly homeless orphan with an incredibly traumatic history would be the one who adapts fastest to a world where magic as a resource went from plentiful to scarce. He’s very used to scarcity, to a depressing degree…

[star-h0pper]

lou wilson deserves a fucking oscar for his acting in this episode because every single jammer scene ripped my heart out.
