just rewatched the season 4 finale of the magicians for the first time since it aired and, uh. wow. no, yeah, that is just as bad as I remember
#maria rambles#the magicians#cried my way through the last fifteen minutes yet again#and like. I’ve since learned that this was in part because jason ralph wanted to leave the series#because he felt they’d taken his character as far as they could#as I. cannot even begin to try and explain how that is the worst explanation I could’ve imagined#he wanted to leave fine I get that#they had to kill quentin because otherwise it doesn’t make any sense for him to just not be on the show. okay#but the way it’s framed. this idea that his death was GOOD and NOBLE#that it was suicide purely because quentin didn’t consciously decide to leave his friends behind#to leave ALICE AND JULIA AND FUCKING ELIOT behind#that his death was beneficial to people#no im sorry i can never ever abide by this#not when so many people saw themselves in Quentin and had hope because of him#this was such a callous way of resolving a queer suicidal character’s story#when prior to this he’d been the heart of the group and a constant source of hope for them#god#I’ll never be okay with how they handled this
