okay im gonna try to make my thoughts concise just so i can get this all out and then never think about it again so okay
so 412..........
like idk how to even express this like okay this is gonna be negative sorry if you want some positivity right now i get it but im upset lmao
first let me get this out of the way yeah i know q is his own person why do you need to make everything about ships its their story blah blah blah that’s a cop out and an excuse to not hold the writers accountable and you know it miss me with that shit
SO like q and alice getting back together like????? isnt THE problem for me???? yeah im upset because i think theyre terrible together and theyd be really good friends thats what i was hoping that convo was gonna be but here we are lmao MY issue is two fold
ONE it makes this season feel like a fucking waste of time. like why spend the literal ENTIRE season every interaction q and alice have going over how they are o v e r having q LITERALLY SAY HES DONE making a big deal about it showing he in love with someone else having this whole episode being about disillusionment and how bad it is only to have alice make it sound like its a good thing???? the whole point was they “worked” in s1 they arent those people and to act like either of them could still be is like???? contradictory to what the episode said and TO WHAT THEY WERE SAYING ALL SEASON like three quarters of this season was saying one thing and they just changed their minds at the end to a completely different thing and it just feels like well then what was the damn point
and TWO the one youve all been waiting for like................................... it’s not a good look fam. ive said it for years you guys the magicians likes to throw themselves parties about how diverse they and the stories they tell are but like its just surface shit yeah margo is bi do we ever actually see her with anyone but men? no. same with q outside of el. look at how many poc we have!!!!!!!!! are their storylines substantial and numerous? HARDLY. the fuck has penny done all all season outside of julia. fuck all. this isnt new. i complained about it after 305 and ill keep doing it because they wont fucking learn. this is honestly the worst kind of queerbaiting in my opinion like at least when its just subtext you dont feel like the writers are fully USING you. i feel USED. like after 405 they just talked and talked and talked about this love and how groundbreaking it was and my dumb ass finally thought they got the message that we dont want to HEAR about people being queer we need to SEE it and it needs to be serious (also add the marina thing to that list at the beginning, cool shes got a gf let me SEE them cowards) the magicians is all talk and no action when it comes to their characters that are minorities and its fucking exhausting and damaging and as much as i love this show im getting whiplash because i trust them i do i trust them for 3/4 of a season and they go and invalidate everything for what??? who even knows and i feel this way because this isnt the only time theyve done this THATS why im so upset and not hopeful because they have a track record and if i dont love all these characters more than i hate this bs id be done but..................... shes still here because i love margo oh dont get me started on that im done thanks bye
