Technically there is absolutely no proof Declan isn't Alex's mother

[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.

[noodle-made-a-mistake]

A short list of things that bother me about the Magisterium canon:

Forgive me in advance for rambling, I have to get these thoughts out of my brain lmao (also it's been a couple years so correct me if I'm wrong! (I really hope I’m wrong on some of these :’) )) Spoilers ahead obviously!

● The lack of Calron :(

● Not taking the opportunity to develop Tamara's character and keeping her static until she's randomly just different. Strong female characters aren't just skilled and perfect until their one flaw (usually it's having feelings like any other human being) is revealed shockingly (that's just sloppy characterization), they should be crucial to the plot and not overlooked in favor of developing other characters (from what I remember she literally was my favorite while reading the series until she just got annoying (??) after a while, of course that could just be because the story is told through Call's perspective but still)

● The entire school system that I need more info on bc it sounds so unthought out and not like something that has existed for hundreds of years

● The forceful nature of making people serve as masters?? That makes no sense? Like, “Congratulations on not dying during your schooling or in the war(s), your prize is forced labor 👍.”

● Also THE COLLEGIUM WAS MENTIONED AND NEVER ELABORATED UPON

● TGT. Least favorite book. Get out. Tgt truthers how do you do it??

● The Maugris plot twist. It destroys the meaning behind the past four books. It's just so uncalled for and frankly just sloppy ig? I love the idea in a way, but only if it's foreshadowed from the beginning. Also I'm too attached to the complicated dynamic of Alastair raising his possible ex-bestie for it to end up like that

● The fact that the iron trio is out of school for half the series, I'd like to know what's normal, y'know??

● THE LACK OF ELABORATION ABOUT THE FIRST GEN I WANT TO KNOW MORE I HAVE TO KNOW MORE

● They did my man Constantine especially wrong, give him some ✨️character✨️ aside from E V I L and problematic (trademark) and charming (???)

● AND ALASTAIR GOD TELL ME MORE?? He's characterized as distant and obviously traumatized with his hate of his magic involved past but I just need to know what that past was like. Like who was he before his dead wife syndrome?? Idk but I'd of liked any excuse to know more about it just so I can understand him more??

● Please give me a single character trait of Declan's?? Like he was mentioned a handful of times and that's all we got. He was just some guy and I am hating it !!

● And Sarah. Like. She was a mom and liked peace as a concept but she also made a cool ass knife. That's a lot of things left up for interpretation. And I know Call wasn’t allowed to ask questions for plot reasons but god i wish he had more information about his own dead mother for Christ's sake

● Also other than a victim, who was Jericho? I need to know who this kid who drew scribbles in the margins of his very important journal while writing about how he was slowly being killed was. What was his relationship really like with his brother if he was so scared to say that he was dying or what gave him the impression that he didn't care?? It's fascinating and I need him under a microscope immediately

● Also the lack of queer representation until the last two books. AND THEN IT WASN'T EVEN ANY OF OUR MAIN CAST. Literally the saddest L ever :(

● AND AARON WAS NEVER CONFIRMED QUEER LIKE WHAT THE FUCK JUST L O O K AT HIS CHARACTER AND INFACT ALL OF OUR CORE CAST IS AT LEAST BI LIKE C O M E O N (ik they're like kids but even I knew I was not straight when I was like 11 and i lived in the most conservative non-LGBTQ-friendly town known to man)

● Low key, callmara was so bad, like I love them but not the way it happened, horrible set up. Tamara deserved so much better and to not have her entire character destroyed by becoming a love interest. I wish they thought about her as an independent character instead of the means to implement a romantic subplot in tgt, they did so good in the first books with that

● Also there's no elaboration on what chaos is. It's the mystical 5th element. Wow! Let's go girl, give us nothing! You'd think that if Makaris were so exceptionally rare and special that we'd get some explanation on how they come to be and what it is exactly that they can control but we're just left to assume it's the special "chosen one" type of thing. Idk it bothers me for some reason :/

That's just off the top of my head and it's been years since I read the series all the way through (I should do a reread soon). For the most part I adore this funky series and I hate to bash it but I felt the need to ramble about it's shortcomings because I'm not crazy, right?? It had so much potential! Anyway, I'm sort of glad for the blanks in the story despite complaining about them because it leaves room for fics and fan interpretations that I always love to see, but on the other hand, I'd like for the story to feel finished and not like a last minute science fair project.

Thanks for sticking around for my late night rambling lmao

Marauders and the Magisterium

I truly believe that Magisterium has HP to Marauders energy. There is a group of previous-generation friends who all met tragic ends. So much potential here.

If you like marauders, pls go read the magisterium series

let's get these poor kids some recognition!!!

[callum-hunt-is-bisexual]

sarah novak is so this is me trying and declan novak is so mirrorball

[degrassi-fandom-confessions]

declan, zig, tristan, becky, frankie, clare, kc ,bianca & hunter all look like they would call me the nword or subtlety allude to that.

[theenemyod]

Pair of fictional twins: *exists*

Me: *already opening google docs* one of you is going to die and the other one is going to go insane believing it was their fault and they should've done something to stop it and feel like they always have a piece missing from them, also probably try resurrection.

[sketchyghost27]

hey Magisterium people, on the grounds of there being no name for Alastairs gen (as far as I know) here are my suggestions:

the first wave (of war and characters, would make call and co the second wave of war and characters)

twin, twin, Alastair (cause hes the only singleton)

Semiramis club (idk I think referencing the knife could be cool)

chaos kindlers (zero logic besides it sounding cool)

Casting crew (casting is both a word for magic as well as metalwork. here it sounds like they're actors tho:/ )

Casting Club (?)

Trial smth smth idk

please add your own I would love to be able to vote from our collective genius

anyone else just feel bad for sarah novak/hunt? like come on… she was the only girl in an apprentice group of FOUR boys.

Sure she had her brother Declan, but that could only do so much.

not sure how misogynistic the others might have been, but like they couldn’t have just hit it off the bat.. right? Like i could totally see her having to work her ass off just to prove that she deserved to be in the group w/ the best of the best. Unless they were all accepting and respectful and stuff from the start. that might’ve happened because Rufus had to lecture them or something. they were all a bunch of (pre)teenage boys though, so they couldn’t have been perfect, could they?

and don’t even get me started on the bathrooms/common spaces…

on another note, the magisterium equivalent of the marauders fandom totally needs to become a thing if it isn’t already. (is it? idk I haven’t been in the online magisterium fandom for that long…any good fic recs?)

[thebettermaddentwin]

I'm not saying I'm better than Constantine but but but but but but but

My boyfriend never dumped me.

I just died.

So officially I have been dumped less times than him.
