#Queliot theatre…

[fixated-on-something]

Teenage queers will discover Tragedy and make it their whole personality forever

So very glad AO3 is alive and back up! However, I want to keep the Castle safe and accessible, so reblogging now that we have Ch. 1 back, and here is the link to the whole project on AO3! Not sure but I think we might keep doing this? We'll keep posting on AO3 and the current stuff will live there, but maybe when the next chapter goes live we'll add the previous chapter here? In any case--come dream with @magicians4time and me!

BTW, I'm so excited, Howl's Moving Castle will be in a lot of theatres again in September! But you can see the Queliot version here!

Most people were not far back from the show, most people liked that sort of thing. One man caught his eye, settled casually atop a dividing wall like an elegant cat decided to try out human form but couldn't resist sunbathing. Those lazy eyes caught him in their study, making his feet stop moving. A colorful diamond pattern coat was folded neatly by the man's head as he had possibly been using it as a pillow. A pillow for the most well-behaved and equally well-styled hair Quentin had ever seen. Howl's Moving Castle/The Magicians AU

On the plus, you didn't exaggerate. This book is strangely compelling, yet incomplete. The Magicians | S03E05: A Life in the Day (2018)

“It’s a hare,” Eliot said. “Same difference.” “It isn’t, actually. Hares are bigger. And they don’t live in burrows, they make nests in open ground.” “Don’t start,” both Julia and Janet said, in unison. The Magician King (The Magicians, #2) by Lev Grossman

I know this is a little thing but like come on

Title for fake summary + queliot because I know you like them: You're the pulse that I've always needed

‘when you’re numb as often as quentin is, being able to feel your heartbeat can be anxiety inducing. that is, until it speeds up and something like love blooms under your skin. 

OR 

eliot doesn’t really give much thought to life and death (really, when you’re a traumatized murdering farm boy theatre kid, you have to get off that train of thought before the wreck comes). But holding Quentin’s pale hand in his is something different.

Fic Writer Interview

Tagged by @lizardkingeliot. Thank you!!!

Name: Dani (or Nellie, or Rizandace on AO3)

Fandoms: The Magicians! I dabble elsewhere when the mood strikes, but lately the mood is striking Magicians all day every day.

Where you post: AO3

Most Popular One-shot: Promises. I’m proud of this one!

Most Popular Multichap: Hmm. I guess by kudos that would be Lover’s Touch, but Maybe This Time is much longer (240k, YIKES), and has more comment engagement, etc.

Favorite story you’ve written so far: I have a recency bias problem which is that whatever I’ve done most recently I think is the best, because I’m (hopefully) improving with each story I write? So I’ll cheat and name two. I truly think my current WIP, A Comet Pulled From Orbit, is the strongest thing I’ve written, but due to its subject matter and more “gen” feel, it’s gotten less engagement. BUT, if we’re going for something purely Queliot, that would be is it too late (or could this love protect me), which I think is quite strong, and you should all definitely read!

Fic you were nervous to post: Oh, definitely A Comet Pulled From Orbit. It’s Alice POV. It’s an Old Guard AU. It’s plotty and full of action scenes and while Queliot plays a meaty supporting role, it’s Alice’s story, and I worried nobody would bother with it because of that. I still get nervous that comments will dry up on every chapter I post! 

How do you choose your titles: MY LEAST FAVORITE PART OF WRITING. Lately, I’ve gotten on a song lyric kick, but using musical theatre lyrics, so... Cabaret was the inspo for my last longfic title, then the current one is Wicked... I have a Hamilton lyric I think I’m going to use for an upcoming one. It works for me, and takes away the stress!

Do you outline: Yes, but loosely, with lots of gaps for scenes to naturally add themselves in. For my current story, which I’m trying to plot more like a conventional novel, I definitely broke out the major plot beats that I needed to hit, and I had a pretty good idea of chapter count based on those. But I don’t have a super detailed bullet point list or anything.

Complete: 22 on Ao3 (out of 24 total, one of which is abandoned I guess). Half of those are Magicians.

In progress: Just A Comet Pulled From Orbit is in progress for me currently!

Prompts?: I kind of freeze up when given prompts. Would love to try it out, but usually unless I come up with the idea myself, I don’t have the motivation to finish it.

Upcoming work you’re most excited about: The thing I’m doing for my Big Bang, which is SECRET, and then also the Queliot/Qualice/Malice/Marliot messy nonsense that I affectionately refer to as “sexcapades” which lives almost entirely in my head right now but I sure am excited to write it someday...

Worlds I would love to write for in the future: Uhhh Queliot owns my whole ass currently, but I really did love The Old Guard, hence my current WIP, so maybe I’d dip in and write about those characters, too? We’ll see if inspiration strikes!

Tagging @spiders-hth-is-an-outlier, @hmgfanfic, @allegria23... and anyone else who hasn’t been tagged!

[hmgfanfic]

OK so speaking of songs that relate to your fics: Orla Gartland’s “Did It To Myself,” “Figure it Out,” and “Oh God” are biiiiig LQoF queliot tunes

I love how this fandom has introduced me to so much new music! I’m still very much of the “I don’t know what a ‘Hozier’ is and at this point, I’m afraid to ask” ilk, but I’m slowly yet surely expanding beyond my late ‘00s indie pop and extensive musical theatre catalogues. And the TM fandom has helped so much in that regard and I am eternally grateful.

Also, whoa, am I flattered that anyone would associate any music with my fics!! Can’t wait to listen. 💗💗💗

Tagged by @malecschmico (thanks!)

(Rule: Tag 9 people you’d like to get to know better!)

Top 3 ships: currently villaneve, queliot (unfortunately), and fuck it, even though endgame ruined them for everyone, stucky will always hold a special place in my heart. (i thought about schmico but the writers are doing........ interesting things with them rn, so better not)

Lipstick or Chapstick: chapstick

Last song listened to: i have no idea, but probably something from the killing eve soundtrack because i’m predictable and obsessed.

Last film watched: the last jedi. i saw tfa in theatres when it first came out (and really liked it) but never saw the sequel for some reason?? idk, i’ve fixed it now.

Currently reading: around forty different fanfics. no exaggeration, i have exactly 39 ao3 tabs open right now. i have so many problems.

What shows are you currently watching: so many shows..... way too many shows...... so i’ll just go with shows i’m watching that are also currently airing episodes. 911 lone star (oof), grey’s anatomy (bigger oof), and the magicians (biggest oof). i’ve been meaning to catch up on b99 though. :)

I tag: definitely not nine people because i don’t have many mutuals on here. instead, i’ll just go with these two lovely ladies :) @eqqautor and @queenstellation

And he's got a good feeling about the tall, handsome actor that he befriends on his first day.

i must ask, have you ever read the queliot fic "falling slowly"? because it is *chef's kiss*. just a bunch of disaster drama students trying their best, and its so GOOd

i have! it’s actually one of my favorites and one of the first ones i read! as someone who is in fact. a theatre major it was very relatable LMAO

[kythwena]

With the best books, time falls away. But at any point, for whatever reason, you can put the book down, leave it for another time, revisit it another day once you’ve reached the end. With a play, it’s literally alive. And it’s never the same twice. Ever. As much as an actor can memorize something until their brain melts out of their ears? There’s always the chance some tiny thing could make them forget the next line. So they skip ahead, to say something they do remember, or they make up something entirely unpredictable, right on the spot. One single phrase can be a life-changing revelation one day, and be meaningless the next. One audience might laugh at a funny line, and another will stay completely silent, and yet another laughs at something that’s not meant to be funny at all. A fight can go wrong, or it might be the best version it’s ever been. A character cries one day, and tomorrow their eyes are dry. Blink, and you might miss it. Miss any little thing. A few hours later, it’ll be over forever. Until the next one. And that’s saying nothing of being on that stage. Being one of the people responsible for bringing it to life. Sometimes, you find yourself genuinely thinking your character’s thoughts, without even meaning to. You find all these obstacles getting in the way of what they – of what you – want. You end up trying, so hard, just like you do in real life, to get around them, so you can get what you want. Even if you fail, in the end, trying is what’s most important. Then, on top of all that: knowing that everyone in the audience wants something from you. To learn. To alleviate boredom. To find hope again. To let out all these emotions they’ve been keeping secret inside.

My Verse Distills Your Truth by @thelucindac Collection: Magicians Happy Ever After

[kythwena]

“Mr. Coldwater,” Eliot says. His voice is just above a whisper. Surprised. Uncertain. Delighted.

My Verse Distills Your Truth by @thelucindac Collection: Magicians Happy Ever After

[kythwena]

It’s the first time he’s ever really seen all those people as an afterthought. And it’s the first time he feels like the play is for the people actually bringing it to life, not for the ones looking to be entertained just for an afternoon. He’s not one of those people anymore. Never really was, anyway.

My Verse Distills Your Truth by @thelucindac Collection: Magicians Happy Ever After

[kythwena]

“You put that much thought into things.” It’s not a question, but a confirmation. Praise. Appreciation. Quentin feels like he’s glowing, like someone’s plucked a star from the sky and lodged it in his heart. Someone understands. And not just in a cursory way. It’s like there’s this room inside himself he’s kept locked and in the dark for so long. This tiny admission was like finally opening its door to someone else. Offering them a candle to see with. And then that person suddenly takes the candle from him, and they’ve gone over to the fireplace, to build a blaze.
