I am so gay for all of these people. I'll be taking no further questions.

"give a man hope and a nickel, you got a nickel."

quote: Julia Wicker, the magicians, s01e08 the strangled heart

A great way to get the things you want is to be so miserable, you don’t want them anymore.

I have a ton of The Magicians Wardrobe, Props, Jewelry, Decor, and more. Anyone interested?

I managed to purchase a number of Alice items during the original auction, two storage units full of set décor (Julia's apartment, The Penthouse), and then recently acquired a ton of mystery boxes containing items from the core cast and background. I purchased all of the mystery boxes because I was saddened to find out that they were just sitting in a warehouse because the original buyer did not watch the show and was unable to identify items. As a fan I wanted to save it all so that is what I did and since this is not my full time job I am just trying to connect as many fans as possible.

I have sold a number of things on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/750076803033428 (a few items are currently listed), eBay https://www.ebay.com/usr/nerdgirlbritt (more coming soon) and have completed a few fan giveaways (more coming soon on Facebook) but I still have so many items from the show that I want to go to fans. All items ship from Ohio but I am willing to ship internationally because I know fans of the show come from all over the world.

You can see all the unboxing videos so far on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@nerdgirlbritt If you have any questions or any interest in the items I unboxed please reach out I would be happy to discuss.

The Book of Job Chapters 1 & 2

I'm going to put the first two chapters together because they are the ones that everyone pretty much knows about. There are certain implications that one might not immediately get, like holy fuck these are some dark chapters. I just read The Magician King and I feel like Julia's story has a similar theme which is "DON'T GET GOD'S ATTENTION". Of course in the Magician King, the world is polytheist so they get the attention of a god, just not the one they wanted. And if you've seen the first season of The Magicians, you know what happens (I'd recommend the show over the books, but the books are not bad).

Ok. That's not the real theme of the opening. It feels like it when you read it fresh, because almost everything that happens to Job is because God is going "Isn't Job the best. He's so faithful and nice" and then you got Satan going "Well why don't we fuck with him and see how faithful he is" and this happens at least twice (maybe three times.) and every time Job gets fucked over even more.

Oh by the way, since I have the Jewish Publication Society translation, they go with "The Adversary" for Satan. A major part of this book and about the history of religion is that Satan seriously changed with the Christians getting ahold of him and putting him in the role of the enemy of all Christians. Zoroasterianism seriously influenced those guys.

In the Bible, Satan is a job description. There's a use of the word as a verb when the Angel is blocking Bilaam from going to curse the Israelites but the angel is not necessarily Satan. So this is where Satan gets a name, but it could be any angel. There are some very weird thoughts on angels in the Bible. Are they a holdover from paganism? Are they ways to have G-d talk to people without taking away the fact that Moses is considered the only one who is talking to G-d directly? There seems to be a general belief held up by the text that Angels are just agents with a job and that job is in their name. So Raphael is the healer and Gabriel gives strength. Most of the time the angels don't even get names in the text itself (although midrash comes in for certain things. LIke when three angels visit Abraham, Raphael stays to heal Abraham from his circumcision while the other two go off to destroy Sodom).

So JPS changing the name to Adversary is just translating the name outright so we know that the main thing about Satan is that he's a literary function. He's G-d's "devil's advocate" and the one who challenges everything.

This seems to be a movement away from monotheism, when monotheism really only took hold a few centuries before this book (it's written in Aramaic so it's definitely a later book in the canon). But also this is a philosophical novel without a necessity in believing it as anything more than a philosophical novel (Oh I'm sure there's an evangelist who will argue that literally Job existed and had a very stressful conversation with his friends and it was all recorded, but evangelicals are fucking idiots. The guy who stands outside my building smoking pot believes in every conspiracy theory available including one about how there is no outerspace because of the firmement of heaven line. Like the Bible says that we are under a bubble so there's no such thing as Mars. I actually still talk to this dumb fuck because he's so stupid that he's almost funny when he's not horrifying).

So here's the point you know about. God says "Hey isn't Job great" and Satan goes "hey let's fuck with him" and God goes "Ok!" So JOb loses his children, his money and his health. And his wife tells him to curse G-d and die which is advice to kill himself. Because really how can he live after losing everything?

Then come Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite who sit with him in silence for 7 days. So now we have the rules of Shiva (mourning) where the first seven days people accompany the mourner but they don't talk unless the mourner talks first. And they stay silent for seven days.

They are going to come off like assholes in the rest of the book, so that part should be remembered.

Note - I'm kind of happy that my mom died during Covid so I didn't have to host people for a Shiva. I don't think my creepy roommate would have liked that and sometimes it's just not worth it. I have people over for Shabbos but he can hide in his room for a few hours.

!I'M ALIVEEE¡ sorry for the hiatus

The magician who later becomes king, Eliot Waugh, is a shameless flirt and very open about his attractions to men and women in "The Magicians".

The Magicians Fanfiction Ch 3

Chapter 3; A WILD GOOSE CHASE Kady walked into Brakebills Infirmary where Professor Lipson, in a fitted, navy-blue dress, was working diligently to set the tip of a student’s severed nose. “Hello, Kady,” she said with a polite but apprehensive smile, “What brings you here today? Are you hurt?”“No, I’m fine. Actually, I was hoping to talk to you about… Mayakovsky?” Kady said, blinking in the…

Intro to me!

Hiya! My name's Deedee, and while I'm not new to Tumblr it has been a while, so forgive me if I'm a little outdated on the customs or whatever. I'd like to take a minute to introduce myself and my interests to y'all!

I'm an aspiring author , though I'm currently working at a bookstore while I suffer through a pretty much never-ending bout of writers block. When it comes to reading/writing I mostly focus on horror and black comedies, though I'll read pretty much anything about lesbians.

I'm also huge into TV, video games, ttrpgs, comic books. I especially love anything Spider-man/Batfamily related!

Top 3 Shows: The Magicians, One Tree Hill, and White Collar.

Top 3 Games: Fallout New Vegas, Sunless Skies, and Darkest Dungeon

I don't have a top three ttrpgs list as I've only ever been able to play D&D, but I really wanna try both Monster of the Week and Kids on Bikes!

Top 3 Bands: Paramore, Sarah and the Safe Word, and Chase Petra

I'm also in the process of trying to learn how to draw, though I am still very much a beginner. I'm also black, a lesbian, neurodivergent, disabled, and trans. So I'm obviously not okay with, nor will I tolerate, bigotry of any kind.

I'm currently an ECE major, though Philosophy and English will forever have my heart.

Finally, here's a few misc interests I have that didn't fit anywhere else:

Dimension 20, Doctor Who, Critical Role, Drawfee, Psych, Gideon the Ninth/The Locked Tomb Series, literally everything Percy Jackson related, Greek mythology/mythology in general, Shirley Jackson, Nerdcubed, Daredevil, Fall Out Boy, The Zero Escape Trilogy, and Kingdom Hearts
