(no subject)

so now i HAVE caught up on the magicians and it is EVEN MORE than i thought based on gifsets...if this fandom had happened to me five years ago when i still had feelings i would be LOSING my FUCKING mind, as it is i'm faintly euphoric and enjoying myself quite a lot. i've read all the readable fic posted since 4x05 aired and i'm really excited for thursday night, which is when i will get to watch the next episode. this is just...it's everything i wanted from tv, a queer relationship that isn't designated when one or both characters first appear but allowed to EVOLVE, naturally, and then the writers actually run with the emergent chemistry and story. that is SO RARE, i actually don't know if i've ever seen it before. hell, it's not as common as it should be for m/f couples either. but this is what tv should be like, this is what tv can do that movies can't, it can GROW along with the characters. and i'm so happy about it.

(i'm not planning on posting to DW enough to actively go looking for or make magicians icons but if anyone pointed me toward some, that would be nice)

wholly unrelated postscript: i'm going to be teaching the baby-killing chapter of the giver this week and i'm SO unreasonably excited about it. they haven't guessed! none of them have guessed what release means! it's 2019 and they're all so cynical i just assumed they would but they HAVEN'T and this is gonna be GREAT
