This post is exclusively for the five other Magisterium fans left in this app and them alone

I was eating my cereal, minding my own business, when a dumb (genius) idea came to me like a fucking prophetic vision

Magisterium AU where everything is the same but Con's soul is active in Call's body the same way Aaron's was. So in TGT they're all just chilling in Call's head and Con and Aaron are just fed up with Everything He Does™

I love the Magisterium series so much (I’ve been re-reading it lately),  but I’m feeling a little sad over some of the missed opportunities and things that could’ve happened in the book :(

For example, Call’s “evil overlord list/point system” thing had so much potential ( in my opinion) to create more internal conflict in Call.

Like, imagine if he took the list more seriously on a bigger scale. I mean things like over analyzing everything he ever did in his entire life and even stopping himself from liking foods or things that Constantine liked so he didn’t earn himself any evil overlord points (Imagine Alastair wondering why his son suddenly hates his favorite ice cream). Maybe Call even slightly tries to change his personality or who he is as a person to make sure he doesn’t resemble Constantine. 

I feel like with enough development, the point system could have become a much bigger problem for Call than it had been in the books. That also means it would have been addressed more ( I think the only other person who knows about it is Aaron when he was in Call’s head and he only mentioned it once) as a mode of self deprecation (I think) that Call uses to punish himself for “being” the Enemy of Death.

 I just feel like it had so much potential, yk?

Anyways thanks for coming to my TedTalk :D

I dont think we talk about the ending of the iron trial enough.... 11 year old me was flabbergasted after reading that scene

My unwritten weird what-if-Constantine-didn't-die-and-Call-had-Jericho's-soul idea going crazy in my brain rn.

[wuffgang-ameowdeus-moozart]

Call: ANIME IS COOL!

Alastair: Constantine used to like anime

Call: Daaaad can we have a dog??

Alastair: Constantine used to have a wolf which is basically a dog

Call: Dad I'm boooooored

Alastair: Constantine used to be bored sometimes

Call: *tries to smuggle fruit loops into the shopping cart*

Alastair: Constantine used to complain about the lack of fruit loops in the magisterium

Call: I'm thirsty

Alastair: Constantine drank water sometimes

[citrusscale-remastered]

Do you have any Magisterium headcanons

OH BOY DO I!!

Okay, first of all I believe that Sarah and Alastair would not have lasted had she survived, but the thing keeping them together was that Call was an oops baby in the middle of the war. Also another telling thing was that Alastair wasn’t in the ice cave with them, but you know who was? DECLAN! I bet that Alastair’s internal monologue there was going, welp, there’s no way I’m gonna be a better parent than Sarah and I’m feeling the need to self sacrifice and die in battle so she and her brother can go raise the kid. also, I’m feeling guilty about not preventing Constantine’s descent into madness and murder.

and then they died and Alastair became the kind of parent that lets their kid eat dirt and drive at twelve.

next, CONSTANTINE MADDEN BLEACHES HIS HAIR PLATINUM BLOND. (and Jericho does not. He is very happy with normal brown hair.)

When Sarah got pregnant, her parents were Not pleased so Alastair and Sarah had a super fast civil ceremony at the town hall to appease them. Then Sarah died and her parents got super pissed at Alastair, (and Alastair’s parents are dead) so that’s why Call has no grandparents.

Alastair’s wedding ring was buried with Sarah.

Alastair and Constantine had a very messy friends with benefits relationship (that literally went until Constantine blew up a section of the Magisterium and ran off) where they both had feelings for each other but never said anything.

The Maddens are from Russia. They are also Catholic. Will not elaborate.

Call got babysat by Miranda (that tailor/antique shop lady from TBK) a solid bit when he was super young. Alastair needs his screaming and sobbing time by himself without freaking out his Tiny Baby Three Year Old.

After the Cold Massacre, Alastair almost became a Devoured trying to heal Call with earth magic but pulled himself back cause gotta be a human to raise My Son !!!

Alastair is also in Crippling Medical Debt from Call’s canonical Many Surgeries.

Alastair has no concept of children’s books so Call got read Shakespeare for bedtime stories.

Call is a white chocolate hater.

Constantine had a wolf named Mayhem so when Call brought home a wolf named Havoc Alastair was like, ah, the consequences of my actions have come back to haunt me

Aaron was seriously considering going into the military before he found out that he had magic.

The Rajavis are for real rich famous people outside of the magic world too.

Only child Jasper. Lots of cousins (for his parents to compare him to) though

Bilingual Jasper but Boy is he completely illiterate in Japanese

Ravan was a huge wake up call for mage parents to stop teaching their kids to learn magic through dangerous methods (like the whole eating matches for fire, blood for air kinda stuff in the first book)

One of Gwenda’s parents isn’t a mage and has her enrolled in summer school so that she actually knows like, physics and calculus and shit.

Alex is a strong believer in Sun In. However appalling the result is, Call still finds him cool.

Alex plays piano pretty well for being self taught. (Most of the things he can do is self taught. Don’t think about that too much)

When Aaron was in foster homes, he cut his own hair with kitchen scissors in the bathroom. The first time the Rajavis take him to get his hair cut, he thinks that it looked better when he did it himself.

During TCG, the Rajavis were in the process of adopting Aaron cause it would look super good for the Makar to have such a strong connection to them. (And totally Not to replace Ravan)

Call eats styrofoam

Ravan was Tamara’s favorite sister.

After TCG, Tamara learns how to drive (normally) from Stebbins. When her parents enroll her in formal driving lessons right before TSM, they’re a little surprised at how “naturally” good she is.

Before the Magisterium, Tamara learned flute and violin. Call is completely tone deaf, and Aaron can plunk out some pop song chords on a keyboard.

Every single time they have an oddly specific problem, their “I know a guy” is Aaron.

Interesting angle on Constantine I don't think has seen much exploration: What's death to a necromancer? Sure, Constantine and the followers of the Enemy of Death kill lots of people, including Constantine's former friends and innocent children, but at the same time, Constantine is convinced he's going to find out how to reverse death. What does it matter if he kills them so long as he's able to bring them back?

[ratunderneathahat]

that character would abuse me and that is in fact why I selfship with them

[moxiesthefallen]

Anastasia means resurrection. CONSTANTINE AND JERICHO’S MOTHERS NAME MEANS RESURRECTION. NO IM NOT OKAY

[sketchyghost27]

I can still recall, our last summer..

Finally got around to drawing my designs for these Magisterium Characters!! My headcannons for them, in order:

Alastair Hunt, in my mind, is an all-American guy with not-so-active parents. He's got his cannon messiness and love for tinkering so I can't help but image him staying up night and day to take apart Radios, Watches and rebuild them with metal magic.

Jericho and Constantine Madden are def French-Russian, obviously have their mum and (despite being irrelevant anywhere) dad. Jericho has a talent for Water Magic in my mind, and him and Declan like making pages like this with Declans Photographs. Constantine is months short of discovering Chaos, so for now he loves Fire.

Sarah and Declan Novak ARE JUST HEADCANNONS. There is NOTHING to base them on except for their names and Sarah having the same dark hair as Callum. So now they're American with Grandparents in South America. They're also the smallest in the group and Declan gets Migraines that can even take his vision for a short while. Just so there's a solid reason he wasn't in active battle, since it would've been a bigger than average risk for him.

One thing I think the books do not address enough is what happened to the “real” callum hunt. How does call feel about this? How does Alastair feel about this? Does Alastair ever think about his dead son - even though he considers call his son, does he ever think about what happened? I think that there’s a lot of complex topics to be found in the books such as are you accountable for the sins in your past life, is call actually Constantine, etc. Not saying that call is “not Alastair’s son” per se but he/Constantine did in fact kill a whole ass child and it’s a rlly interesting aspect of the plot that I’m disappointed it never got talked about. I love complex/taboo topics and characters in fiction so saying that call “killed a child” is not necessarily a bad thing (I don’t necessarily mean it in a bad way and I don’t hate Call as a character is what I mean💀). Actually I think it gives more nuance and complexity to his character and in regards to how the edges between Call and Constantine are blurred. Also this is how Sarah and Alastair differ. Sarah was dead set on not raising him as her child whereas Alastair decided to raise him - I wonder what was going through his mind and if he ever thought about his first son. If this topic had been explored it could’ve had a theme similar to House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland if anyone’s read that. Very interesting family and parent-child dynamics. In the book the daughter is a changeling and has essentially killed and replaced her mothers real daughter. The mom knows all along about what happened. The girl asks her mom, “How can you love me after what I did?” Or something along that line. The mother says “I raised you for all these years - how can I not consider you my daughter?” Would have been interesting to see an interaction of that sort between Alastair and call. I wish they had talked about it. Would’ve been interesting if call had asked his father if he ever thinks about his first son

small constantine wip i am never going to finish.... my first attempt at making his scars lore accurate (it did not work)

[hot-cole-aid]

thinking about the aftermath of the cold massacre and, if Joseph got there first (somehow bc as soon as Alastair saw him he booked it) retrieved Connie's body and knew his soul was now in baby Call then why didn't he take him??? what gives??? its one small child, him being lost in the massacre wouldn't be a surprise. Was he dodging babysitting??? Went 'oh Constantine would LOVE to live with his ex bwb' and left, I just, have questions

[secretly-a-catamount]

Arron’s death turned him from the savior (Constantine) into the sacrificial lamb (Jericho), and turned Call from the boy stuck in his counterweight’s shadow (Jericho) into the monster (Constantine).

[theenemyod]

For some reason I find it so fucking funny when I'm reading a Calron fic and Calls eyes are one of the main things Aaron describes like babygirl you know who's eyes those really are right?
