Came back, but not from the dead. Everybody thought you were dead--you thought you were dying--but you weren't. You pulled yourself out of your makeshift grave on your own and walked back into life. Everybody was happy to see you, but nobody put in the work to dig you out of the dirt.

Why were the Rajavis wrong about Semiramis??? Is it just to make me insane

[nonbinary-androids]

"Good luck with shooting the moon" is maybe the single line in all of Twilight that makes me the most insane and it's not even diegetic. It's like. This is impossible and our fates have been predetermined and we're not in the cards and I love you anyways. I'm asking you to love me anyways.

I still think TSM had the best bare bones ideas for a plot, but having grappled with it recently.... TGT also has such good plot ideas?? Obviously I'm discounting Maugris Miserable bc he's unsalvageable, but almost everything else? Call regaining memories, Aaron living in Call's head, finding a body for Aaron, confronting how Alex has been devastated in much the same way as Call and Constantine (and whose fault that is *coughcough* Joseph and the Assembly *coughcough*), trying to rebuild a relationship with Tamara and Jasper after the betrayal, being forced back into mage society after The Big Reveal. Alastair BECOMING MAGIC to save Call. All of this ideas are so so SO good. How did we get here (<- actual text of TGT)

Interesting angle on Constantine I don't think has seen much exploration: What's death to a necromancer? Sure, Constantine and the followers of the Enemy of Death kill lots of people, including Constantine's former friends and innocent children, but at the same time, Constantine is convinced he's going to find out how to reverse death. What does it matter if he kills them so long as he's able to bring them back?

I think it would have been fun if there had been more cancer symbolism tied to Constantine and his rebirth as Call. IDK how they should have done this but I know Callum "Call wants to live" Hunt would have listened to Master Rufus talking about how cancer cells have their self-destruct signal turned off or how cancer can metastasize and felt sick

rb's are appreciate so this gets as far outside of my bubble as possible

[nonbinary-androids]

Emerging from my hole in the ground to say that I'm convinced that there was a major dropped plotline that had to do with Call's mother and Semiramis. No idea what it was but given that TBK was supposed to be called The Cosmos Blade, I think it's a pretty safe bet.

To make predictions about a book that will never happen... I think it probably would have focused more on the original Rufus apprentice group, and particularly on Sarah, given that the only notable blade in the series is hers. I think it would have established parallels or contrast (probably contrast lbr) between Anastasia and Sarah leading up to the Eliza reveal and made Anastasia's offers of family and affection in The Golden Boy and The Enemy of Death (the original titles for TSM and TGT) more potent. I still think Aaron would have died at the end and that Alex would be the one to kill him, but maybe more elaboration on Anastasia and Alex's relationship? Also, more elaboration on what made Sarah willing to kill Call.

Based purely on the ~~vibes~~, I think it might have been something like the Devoured of Chaos thing from TGT.

You can never convince me that Aaron would ever forgive Tamara and Jasper for betraying Call in TSM. For betraying him, maybe, but Call? Aaron would have arrested Celia for having a crush on Call if he had the option

Hey. Just coming back to say that I care about you guys so so so much even if I'm not that active any more. If you have questions about life in Canada, my askbox is always open.

I think the thing is that the Magisterium is permanently associated with summer in my mind bc I thought about it a ton on that miserable road trip five (!!) years ago and then I reread it to destress when I got home, and now the whole season smells like the water and sounds like Bastille played through cheap headphones and tastes like bad spaghetti and feels my hands cramping up from writing outlines of fics I'll never finish. I don't miss that time, exactly, but I do smile when I think about it.

I've changed a lot over five years. It's nice to know my love of these books keeps changing with me (:

[nonbinary-androids]

literally what happened to the rest of call’s family. Like yeah his mom is dead but what, no grandparents? only child Alastair?? Did he get fucking disowned??? Did Sarah get fucking disowned???

or idk maybe con straight up for real killed everybody
