Having a Very easy and fun time coming up with AZ lore tho. Here's a doodle of his little brother who I've been calling Xanthos

My notes if u can't read my bad handwriting:

I think it's LAME when every single problem can be pinned onto a single guy so he's probably not wholly bad. But he takes issue with AZ's sentimentality, his kindness, his generosity. Traits that (to Xanthos) make a socially loved, but politically weak kingdom. Xanthos is interested in LEGACY.

They are half-brothers. (Same mother, different fathers.)

Xanthos' hair is like Lysandre's, but flipped.

More notes I wanted to write but ran out of room about:

The thing is that Xanthos isn't even Wrong about AZ giving too much of himself to the world. AZ runs himself ragged ensuring the happiness of Other People but not spending a moment to himself.

AZ also views his own suffering as so uniquely profound that no one else could Ever understand it. I think this may apply even to his human legacy. Refusing help due to a belief not that he doesn't need it, but because he thinks there is no one who is capable of giving him the relief he needs. Simultaneously selfless and selfish...

AZ is more of a title than a name, but this fact has been lost over 3000 years. There is no one alive to call AZ by his true name (Azoth)- or so he thinks.

Xanthos went on to rule his mother's homeland after fulfilling a prophecy by the act of unknowingly killing his own grandfather

He then attempted to throw a coup in Kalos, and this led into the war.

Unfortunately for everyone, Xanthos only realized how far he'd pushed his brother after the ultimate weapon had been used.

Xanthos wasn't made immortal, but he had a sorta unnaturally long lifespan for a human. But he never saw AZ again; the last time they saw each other was in the rubble of a broken Kalos.

Some of the land there was so ravaged it can never be healed again. The earth still bears the scars of war, 3000 years later.

.... Congratulations Lysandre for being very distantly in-world Algerian now that I'm thinking about it 😭

I'm having Such a hard time deciding on a story for Nerine 😭 I decided to shift away from my initial concepts a little bit but haven't been able to come up with anything else Satisfying to me

some soft/silly magicians headcanons bc it’s 2 am and I’ve been studying for 12 hours straight and I feel like I could fight god rn

- when they were like 14 julia and q bonded over having a crush on James while at the same time q and James bonded over having a crush on julia

- Alice took glassblowing classes when she was younger so she can make those glass horses the magic was AND the mundane way

- kady and julia have a secret handshake. it’s very intricate and involves multiple small spells. they’ve never completed it without setting something on fire.

- josh teaches fen Morse code and they tap secret messages to each other during royal meetings, soon rafe gets in on it too; sometimes they’ll all just start laughing for seemingly no reason and it really pisses margo off

- when q and Alice were together he taught her some slight of hand stuff and now she sometimes subconciously does tricks with a coin or a pen like he does

- Quentin and Eliot would sing earth songs to teddy, so when he grew up and left the cottage he passed some of them on to his kids/community; as a result, much of Taylor swift’s discography was introduced in fillory decades before she was even born

OK. Starting to feel forehead tension, but I have a whole packet of paracetomal if need be and I aint afraid to misuse it!

... Plus, now im feeling... Bad. What if im the douche here! No, I am, and my rage just covers it up. When I think about it, the tension worse. It'll explode soon into a headache. Paracetomal and caffeine, do your magic. Sorry liver and heart, I gotta save my braincells.
