Sidereal OC Birthdays- March 20th, Morrigan Esse
'She takes to the stage and shuffles a deck of cards in elaborate arcs above her head. From the stack she pulls just one and cuts it in two with a knife. Morrigan tips her hat, takes a bow and disappears unceremoniously. There is no applause. It is only later that every member of the audience uncovers The Magician waiting for them- in pockets, purses and letterboxes, sitting on pillows, doorsteps and graves.'

I think about the magicians too much so here are some of my favourite quotes
Silly ones
Julia and Quentin: DO WE NOT AMUUUUUSE?
Julia: We made up that dance and it was TERRIBLE!
Quentin: oh god
Julia: It was so.. white.. and BAD.
Penny: I like your sweater
Quentin: Are you saying that to be cruel?
Penny: No. I like your sweater, I saw no reason not to share
Quentin: Well then, shall we go fuck some shit up?
Penny: Yes.
Margo: Yes.
Eliot: Yes definitely. Definitely yes.
Penny: Agreed. Feelings are bullshit.
Alice: Is that a traveller thing?
Penny: It’s a hearing voices thing
Alice: Well at least it beats whatever you were snorting
Penny: Marginally.
Kady: Ok, Mindslut?
Quentin: I don’t know you EITHER, except that we just summoned a killer MOTHMAN from another WORLD!
Marina: Did you figure you wanted to learn magic at your blow dry last week?
Penny: You’re welcome. (Blows kiss)
Quentin: What does that mean????
Quentin: you really don’t have to try to make me feel better we basically just met
Eliot: Well, I bond fast. Time is an illusion…
Eliot: How about I find you, and I don’t say magic is real, but I do seduce you and so lift your spirits that life retains its sparkle for decades…
Quentin: …yeah that sounds nice thank you
Dream Alice: If you would shut up for 2 seconds this sex dream could pass the Bechtel test, Quentin
Eliot: Once one of them offered to blow me for a spell. It was barely worth it.
Quentin: Is someone being creepy on purpose?
Margo: that is…. Not super consistent with the books
Quentin (genuinely very distressed): no!!! It’s not!!!! And I find that devastating!!! ☹️
Quentin: You can’t possibly want to be a dick more than you want to live!
Eliot: Oh yes very pristine, it’s been taken over by a kiddy diddling mutant.
Penny: The hell are you drinking?
Alice: I don’t know- triple sec?
Penny: What did Quentin do.
Margo: So we are fucked without grease
Quentin: Sounds like us
Eliot: Must be a Monday. Onward to glory.
Penny: Whoa WHOA WE ARE NOT. NOT. Killing a U.S. senator. But we will commit a felony… almost as stupid.
Eliot: IHEREBYDECREE! Rulers… done gonna rumble.
Margo: Ps we still hate you, but it’s the 21st century it shouldn’t be this hard for a girl to get an evil demigod abortion.
Niffin Alice: what’s this bitch doing in my room?
Margo: By agreeing to marry a stranger on the spot?
Eliot: I did it!
Margo: That was different.
Eliot: You’re right. This would only really be equivalent if Ess was a girl, and you found pussy you know, interesting in a ‘sometimes you like Thai food’ kinda way and now it’s all Thai food forever TILL YOU DIE.
Eliot: Hooolyyy shit the walking plot twist returns
Penny: Hi I need something
Eliot: Shocker. Hey Fen look it’s Uncy Penny! That’s right, I knocked her up. No big deal.
Penny: Uh- congratulations?
Eliot: like I needed more people calling me daddy but yes, thanks, we’re… thrilled.
Eliot: I am in way over my head. I’m not even in control of which of my bodies is awake and my sexually aggressive wife- she could wake me up at any moment in Fillory and-
Fogg: There are certain student teacher boundaries which I prefer not to cross.
Penny: “Let’s go hunt the white lady?” People like me get SHOT for saying shit like that.
NOW THE HEART SHATTERING ONES
Eliot: Do you think it’s real?
Quentin: Some of the good parts have to be. At least I hope so.
Eliot: Things aren’t usually worth caring about
Margo: Eliot he’s gone. why are your torturing yourself?
Eliot: Because he’s gone. And it’s my fault. And of all the people in the world who don’t understand, somehow you top the list.
Quentin: Every book every movie… is about one special guy. The chosen. You know in real life, for every one guy there are a billion people who aren’t.
Margo: I'm a king. Not a goddamn princess. A king.
Julia: I think it’s because it happened. And there’s nothing… magic about it anymore.
Emily: I don’t blame myself. Except for when I first wake up… and when I go to bed, and all the time in between.
Then obviously any quite related to 3x05 and pretty much the entirety of The Mountain Of Ghosts
I missed a bunch and these are mostly season 1-2 because that’s when I was taking notes during my rewatch

for all its flaws the magicians is pretty good at acknowledging queerness in a way that's better than crumbs but i'm also delusional so i'm taking eliot's "if ess was a girl and you found pussy you know interesting in a sometimes you like thai food kind of way" speech as a bisexual margo hanson confirmation

Do you personally believe in Asian superstitions surrounding lucky and unlucky numbers? As somebody trying to make something but unsure of how much these beliefs have an influence on me it highkey drives me insane 😭
Hi there!
I did have this same struggle once with superstitions in general. Like you, I had the thought of "Should start believing in all these things now that I'm a spiritual person?"
Superstitions are held by laypeople who have an indirect and watered-down understanding of the world of spirit. There is undoubtedly some truth in them, yes, but it is often over-simplified, incomplete or misinterpreted. Think of Plato's allegory of the cave, where the prisoners see only the shadows on the wall and not the objects that cast those shadows.
What we do as spiritual practitioners is to ponder and investigate why and how, and base our craft and cultivation on that.
Just as a layperson can tell you that aspirin reduces the sensation of pain, but a scientist can explain the chemistry of why and how it happens.
You've probably heard of iron being used as a protective metal to repel Faery Folk, right? It's a natural assumption to make that iron is somehow fundamentally harmful to fae. This fascinating post by Lailoken proposes instead that iron is in fact sacred to the Folk, and the perversion of this metal through smithing is what repels them.
Remember, that spiritual practitioners, occultists, witches, magicians, sorcerer/esses (etc) are beings that laypeople have superstitions about.
I suspect you have visited my blog because you consider yourself to fall into this general category 🙂 So ask yourself, on what basis do you believe in the superstitions of your ancestors?
Onto the topic of numerology...
If I may: what you are really asking me is, where do things get their power from?
Laypeople believe that 4 (四) is unlucky simply because it is a homophone for death (死), or that 6 (六) and 8 (八) are lucky because they are homophones for the flow of fortune (溜, and 发 as in 发财).
Is there power in this? Perhaps, from the collective psyche of innumerable people making this connection. Whether it is powerful depends on how well you can tap into that current of psychological power. I personally find the idea of homophones creating in/auspicious numbers to be shaky, so I struggle to invest much belief in it.
I do believe that there is power and meaning in numerology, though. In magic, numbers are symbols, in the same way that colours, shapes, plants, animals, and celestial bodies are.
These things have power from how they naturally express themselves in reality. Allow me to expand on this:
1 is the number of beginnings, individuality, single-pointed focus. It can be used to express both the entirety of existence or the tiniest piece of it.
2 is duality, polarity, cycles and opposite or/yet complementary forces. Day and night, yin and yang, heat and cold, mother and father. It is attraction, passion and pursuit, such as that between predator and prey, or between lovers. Hence it begins to generate movement and force.
Where 1 lacks motion because it has nothing to be moved by, 2 creates a dynamism as it strives to find balance and union.
3 is the number of innovation and creativity, born of the attraction and movement of 2. Between fire-hot and ice-cold, between Heaven and Earth, 3 is the sweet spot in between that creates life, drawing on powers from contrasting forces.
3 is the first number where stability and balance can be found (a chair cannot stand on 2 legs, but it can on 3; pyramid structures are highly stable). 3 is the number that brings a sense of space and time: length/width/height, past/present/future. Triangles are used in magic for conjuration as well as for trapping spirits.
4 creates foundations upon which all else is built. The four elements, cardinal directions, seasons, DNA nucleotides. Therefore it is a number of solidity, consistency and endurance, yet it can also mean stagnancy and obstinance. You could argue that 4 is unlucky because it can be used as a symbol of imprisonment; after all, death is a fate none of us can escape.
5 is often the number of transformation, as our five-fingered hands create and destroy. 5 brings conflict because it is attempting to break out of the solid confines of 4 (incidentally, 5 is also associated with Mars, the planet of aggression).
In East Asia, we have 5 elements instead of 4. Hence our elements work differently; they are not building blocks or foundations, instead they represent the ever-changing and dynamic forces of reality that are constantly overpowering or being subdued by each other.
Conclusion
I'm vaguely aware that numerology features heavily in Daoist magic, but I have no idea how much of what I said above overlaps with Daoist numerology and how it is used in ritual. Even so, like any esoteric tradition, it is a study of the nature of reality, and anyone can attempt to reach these revelations through their own studies and meditations.
I hope I have demonstrated that it is not so simple as 'lucky' and 'unlucky', 'good' or 'bad'. Just as it is with all things. The water that nourishes and brings life, can also destroy everything in a mighty flood.
I also hope I have been able to inspire some clarity in you on this matter 😊 good luck on the path.

Iniciante barata tonta aqui. Agradeço a resposta anterior, frater, a sua contextualização ajudou a dar clareza entre as diferenças entre esses sistemas, ajuda a tornar o solo mais sólido como alguém que não tem o conhecimento para fazer essa avaliação, rs. E não citei na pergunta anterior, mas estou também iniciando o estudo no Tarot (através da dica do livro da Rachel Pollack no blog, aliás). E, no fim, por curiosidade, qual é a questão com a cabala hermética?
Opa, fico feliz em ajudar, amizade! O livro da Rachel Pollack é ótimo, aí é bom que você já resolve uma das 3 tretas que os iniciantes precisam resolver.
Sobre a Cabala hermética... segura que a resposta é longa hahaha. E como essa é uma questão recorrente, vou sintetizar tudo aqui. Então, eu cheguei ao ocultismo tendo estudado um tanto de Cabala judaica antes (Scholem, Aryeh Kaplan, Moshe Hallamish). E fiquei meio perplexo, porque nada encaixa ahahaha. O que a GD fez no século XIX e os seus descendentes (Dion Fortune, Crowley, Lon Milo Duquette etc) continuaram foi pegar um modelo da Árvore da Vida, criar uma conexão com os 7 planetas clássicos (Yesod = Lua, Hod = Mercúrio, etc) e codificar tudo em termos de tabelões de Excel, tipo o 777. Por si só, isso não é um problema, embora não seja um entendimento nativo às tradições cabalísticas dentro do judaísmo. O principal problema pra mim é que eles criaram uma coisa rígida, engessada. Enquanto as tradições judaicas são ricas, múltiplas e fluidas (há mais de um modelo da Árvore da Vida e de arranjos da sefiroth, há mais de um sistema de correspondências das letras hebraicas), o que eles criaram foi um negócio duro, com pouquíssimo espaço para inovação e que não dá para alterar em nada, porque se mexer um a, você quebra tudo. E, pra piorar, com frequência o entendimento que eles têm das sefiroth é dependente de uma leitura astrológica (um rabbi cabalista consegue falar em Netzach e Hod em termos próprios, mas a GD só consegue pensar nessas sefiroth como se fossem sinônimos de Mercúrio e Vênus, vide o livro da Dion Fortune). Tem até umas tentativas de enfiar os planetas externos no meio (tipo nessa versão da Thelemapedia) e o resultado é uma grande maçaroca. E nem me fale do fiasco que é quando tentam enfiar coisas de outros sistemas e fazer correlações com I-ching, runas, deuses hindus (o Crowley tenta, e é ridículo).
Para a prática, até um certo ponto, essa simplificação da Cabala hermética é positiva, porque fica tudo organizado (se você pega um livro como o Chicken Qabbalah do Lon Milo Duquette, meio que está tudo lá e cabe num livro curtinho e simples). Agora, em termos de fornecer uma base mística, uma filosofia profunda e inspiradora para a comunhão com o Divino, é um desastre completo. Não tem profundidade nenhuma, mas os caras fingem que tem, porque, né, sabe como é ocultista. Eu sempre lembro do caso do pior livro de Cabala que eu já li que é o Qabbalah Workbook for Magicians, que a autora fala pra você arranjar um diamante (!) e âmbar-gris (UM NEGÓCIO QUE NEM É KOSHER!) para botar no seu altar para começar a contemplação da Árvore da Vida via Keter. Você nem começou o negócio e já tem que desembolsar sei lá quantos mil em apetrechos. Ah, tomar no cu, sabe? Os caras estão lendo O Pequeno Príncipe e achando que é Dostoiévski, aí dá nisso hahaha. Um abraço!

9 Characters Tag
I was tagged by @tananaphone and @carrotblr for this! You're supposed to pick nine characters in media that you feel represent you in some way.
This would have been outright impossible for me to do by myself, so I asked others for help.
Tumblr media
Going from left to right from the top:
Lisa Simpson (mine; she's my avatar almost everywhere, to the point it feels weird to not have her as my identity)
Eeyore (Ess)
Moomin (Carrit)
Clark Kent from Smallville (mine; really related to the idea of being an alien among humans and needing to hide it)
Squidward (Carrit)
Quentin from The Magicians (Red)
Odo from Deep Space Nine (mine; really related to the idea of being completely apart from everyone around you and needing to learn how to love and care and exist)
Benjamin Sisko from Deep Space Nine (mine; he was my model for fatherhood and leadership)
Luke Danes from Gilmore Girls (mine; the quiet, stoic supporter who is reliable beyond all measure fits me pretty well)
I shall tag... honestly, anyone who sees this that wants to do it. But let's try @writersblockandapotoftea, @rosewinterborn, @awritingcaitlin, @deadlyessencewhispers, @thatgirlfromhotelcalifornia, @ditown-art, @pinkpunchline, @atinydroid especially

Warlocks
We are alive! Outta constant surveillance with a few new scars for the collection. It was almost fun, fighting programming and attempted murder. Giddy fun, same flavor as hysteria. No wonder nobody believes this shit, e’rything they do is so weird.
On that note, a nod to our flipside activities; magicians, defined according to our cult—
Witch: e’rybody with a practitioner alter, any alter qualified for the craft. Womyn were eligible for priestess roles, which required witchcraft, so were the majority of ‘em. It was an insult from daytime alters, a reverence from nighttimes.
Wizard: study of the arcane, research an’ tradition an’ the like. Men only could be priests, which was more books and schooling, but there’s crosso’er with witches. Only witches were called wizards, an’ most priests were not witches.
Mage/sorcer(er/ess): accomplished or ranked witch or wizard. Spiritual leaders, knew all the stage secrets an’ ritual details. Not in charge, really, but with pomp ill befitting circumstance.
Warlock: bond-traitor an’ oath-breaker, somebody who rebelled ‘gainst the group that taught ‘em, ‘specially if they cause damages to said group.
Warlocks were dressed in rags and cast out of the group once discovered, a ritual that coulda been for a body or an alter. It was violent and humiliating, and after the warlock wasn’t allowed to practice in the group.
Modern warlocks lean into the fantasy tabletop contractors, but plenty ‘a groups (abusive or no) name their outcasts warlocks. Our group had role witches rather than title witches, but warlock was both. Replaced the name or got tacked on with a ‘the’.
For any other survivors from witchcraft or witchcraft-adjacent groups, we’ve decided Warlock is a point of pride rather than contention. I can’t force it onto y’all, but it’s there for the takin’.

lista de wanted connections - mas estarei criando e adicionando outras - lembrando que as conexões estão abertas para todxs.
saved my life (1/2) - well, someone must have sent you here to save my life/ quando alina apareceu desacordada no acampamento, PIPS e MUSE 2 foram os responsáveis por ajuda-la, e por isso ela sente uma profunda gratidão por eles
melhores amigos (1/2) - para alina não é tão fácil conseguir amigos, muito menos aprofundar seus laços com eles, mas lua e MUSE 4 conseguiram. neles alina sabe que pode confiar de olhos fechados, e até contar coisas que ela não contaria para ninguém.
yin yang (0/1) - são completamente opostxs, mas se completam na amizade. MUSE 5 pode ajuda-la a se comportar melhor, a ser mais solicita e se abrir mais em assuntos ligados ao coração, e alina pode ajuda-lx a se divertir e relaxar sem se importar muito com as consequências.
don't you forget about me: alina e inclementia firmaram uma amizade logo nos primeiros dias de acampamento, compartilharam historias e segredos, e de repente alina passa a não se lembrar sobre esses momentos, ainda que sentisse uma estranha proximidade com a outra, sem saber explicar como ou porque. @inclementic
i hate you in a good way: mesmo se conhecendo a pouco tempo, parece que henry faz de tudo para tirar alina do serio -e quase sempre consegue- mas ainda assim ela não consegue nutrir algum tipo de raiva por ele quando estão alcoolizados, digamos que o sentimento muda um pouquinho. @czvrnies
enemies: as vezes é bem fácil não gostar de alina, e é bem fácil que ela não goste de volta também, com will não precisou nem de uma grande briga para que os “santos” (ou auras) não se batessem. dito isso, pode ser alguém certinhx demais, que desaprova as condutas mais “rebeldes” dela. @wiilhvlminas
the magician (0/1) - MUSE 8 é a pessoa com quem alina se reúne sempre que quer discutir -ou fazer- algo relacionado a magica. seja testar uma poção nova ou discutir sobre as auras que rondam o acampamento, planejar uma divinação ou fazer leituras de pessoas ou objetos.
crush: por motivos desconhecidos max nutre uma certa quedinha por alina, mas a moça sequer percebe seus olhares ou investidas. @maximeloi
fake dating: MUSE e alina saíram uma vez, duas, três, e quando perceberam haviam engatado em um namoro, isso é claro, sem que ela soubesse que tudo não passava de uma aposta... e eu não queria estar em sua pele quando ela descobrir.
como se fosse a primeira vez: alina e romero se conheceram no ano passado, se envolveram até que tudo ficasse intenso e até que ela não se lembrasse mais de nada (graças a amnesia misteriosa) até hoje romy não entende o que aconteceu e o motivo dela agir desse jeito, alina por sua vez tem uma estranha sensação de familiaridade quando está perto do outro, mas não consegue se lembrar de nada… até que os flashbacks comecem a acontecer. @romerc

Shantotto, Tactician Magician
Tumblr media
Tipo de criatura: Anão Mago
Custo de mana: 1 azul + 1 vermelha + 1 de qualquer cor = 3 no total
0/4 de Poder e Resistência
Por que ela é interessante? Quando você conjurar uma mágica de não criatura, ela ganha +x/+0 até o final do turno, onde X é igual ao tanto de mana gasta na conjuração dessa mágica, se X for igual a 4 ou mais, então você compra uma carta. Pensa que esse é ideal justamente para decks com prevalência maior de não criaturas.
Preço da carta: em torno de 0,80 até 100,00
Indisponível em Português
Link: https://www.ligamagic.com.br/?view=cards/card&card=Shantotto,%20Tactician%20Magician
Até a próxima postagem, Ulli e Thiago

Galactic Acid.
The new Mike Dawes album arrived.
Tumblr media
I listened to this on Apple Music quite a few times. I was actually getting familiar with the tunes and the cool sounds. Got those boxes checked off.
Mr Dawes is a musical magician. He is an acoustic guitarist, but with a caveat. His instrument is hot rodded and he uses "pedals" and internal microphones and pickups to trick the thing out.
He is an audiophile, as he loves finding interesting and cool sounds. I have no idea if he has a nice stereo, he just plays with intricate sounds for fun. If it takes an electronic reverb well that's fine. Even as an acoustic artist he needs a PA system to perform in venues. He gets a good mike and plugs his rig in and off they go.
I ordered the LP version (surprise!) and it just arrived from the UK in the post.
It is a translucent blue vinyl disc with dark smears, my wife says it looks like denim. Before I get to the sound I have a criticism. It is just a heavy disk in a nice jacket. It begs for liner notes. How was it recorded? Who or where was it mastered? I have a heavy geek thirst for info like that. I know from the Apple Music Stream that two tunes were with collaborators. No mention of that on the jacket. I know he IS the record label and it was probably a cost thing and basic modesty not wanting to brag about it. Still you should credit other artists.
OK what about the sound.
It is FN amazing. These are not small differences to the stream. The stream is full bandwidth APPLE LOSSLESS and my DAC doodle uses the fanciest ESS chip. The stream sounds good. The LP is totally better. It is not preference here it is just damn better!
I was actually a bit shocked. I did not have to listen long or concentrate at all. The sound hit me with surprising impact. The same speakers, and amplifier. The Audio Technica Cartridge is pretty flat in frequency response which I take to mean uncoloured. Yes there is one little additional vacuum tube in the preamp, but it must only be a modest contributor. The power amp has 12 more in the line!
The LP sound is far bigger. What was a brilliant guitarist on the far side of my living room wall is now a giant spread in front of my fire place. When he taps the guitar body for percussive sound it is wood finely crafted. String plucks are metal of fine caliber and clear as a mountain stream.
Strangest to me is the stereo mix. This is one guy with two hands and some sounds are on the left and others on the right and some in the middle. It sounds like a big wonderful room, but I know he uses a battery of strange effects boxes and stuff. The guitar is miked inside and out but somebody did magic with tracks. I want liner notes!
Whoever did the mix and the master kudos and hats off and all that. I could not help but speculate that much of the differences I hear are from the mix. I know it is the same basic recording as the stream, as there are a few clues like the count in on the last track. But this is far far better.
The recording sounds far more alive and more real. It has whatever voodoo the stream is missing. There is no such thing as lossless. The stream definitely lost something.
I listen right through twice. It is music at a high level. Part is reminiscent of those American Gramaphone releases of Mannheim Steam Roller and Chip Davis, But those guys had a band and multi-track. This is one person's vision and real time performance. This is ART.
BUY THIS ALBUM if you care about sound. I heard zero flaws in the pressing. It desperately needs liner notes.
BUY THIS ALBUM to support a worthy artist who works hard and deserves rewards.
ARC SP14 preamp.
ARC CL60 amplifier.
AT 7V / 440 mla stylus cartridge
linear tracking Turntable.

the magicians s2e6
quentin coldwater you are so goddamn embarrassing i love you
once again alice is such a fun fucking character. she liked when q did pretend cirque du soleil ????? i could cry !!!!
margo's outfits are improving but i'm looking forward to when we get past the amazon corsets
the only thing better than "no offense q but you're a little crazy right now" is him blithely acknowledging it, "maybe, yeah"
my children loved me i was a good mother!
NIFFIN ALICE I LOVE YOU FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!
i couldn't possibly make fun of q for trying to summon niffin alice like sorry you would do it too for alice quinn
best bitches !!!! they could've parented a demon baby together it would've been okay
okay i think he actually would've liked a unicorn milk latte. or have requested one in earnest at least.
like i need more people calling me daddy!
something hale and summer do is they occasionally adopt the same affect, the same intonation, it's such a subtle thing and it doesn't come up all the time but it so clearly telegraphs that these people are completely tethered to each other
"i know my daughter she's trying to protect us" oh PLEASE
ughhhhhhhhhhh i forgot about loria. oh my god fuck your parents dude. BUT ELIOT DON'T !!!!!
cin-ci-nahhh-tee.
SCREAM at the virgin queen margo
god fillory is so much fun like it's total bullshit all the time but it's also SO fun i enjoy that half of the plot so much
what's fen's title? do we know? queen consort? she has to have a title right
"if ess was a girl and you found pussy you know interesting in a sometimes you like thai food kind of way"
not to do this because i do this constantly all the time but margo hanson is my best friend i'm in love with her
don't worry the thing will not be born AUGH once again i feel like this is such a randomly traumatic plot to force on julia
niffin alice has terrible posture. somebody get her a better niffin bra!
q thinks people's love for him is so conditional every time it comes up it makes me so sad. also i would like for him to get a better hair routine i know grief and everything but dude it's stringy.
i remember when i first watched this episode i wanted daniel to have died from falling off the ladder he doesn't even deserve all that i was just mad at him for being a shit dad
ess is hot but not hot enough to act like this. you're a virgin to me sweetheart? i think margo should be allowed to kill him.
actually margo should be allowed to kill me if she wants to
queliot obviously first most tragic romance in the magicians but fen/baylor is possibly ranked second when you think about it. wait kady/penny. okay fen/baylor is top three.
JESUS CHRIST I FORGOT ABOUT DANA'S WHOLE THING
even i studied and i'm dead!
it's so sweet that she has dreams about forgetting to study. sorry i feel like somebody applauding disney for having a gay character but i genuinely like the female characters in this show so much. they get to do all kinds of shit! and feel shit!
yeah honestly the reynard plot occasionally veers into an almost anti-choice rhetoric, i could have done without like 90% of this plot
i love asking questions that have a 50/50 shot of being resolved in this episode but do we ever find out who dana's son is
once again! best bitches!
you guys have been so royally fucked with! sometimes the florida jumps out of him
"she never figured out how to be a woman" is such an insane thing to say. the magicians should've dug into motherhood more. haha. wrote a thesis on motherhood voice.
I FORGOT ALICE WAS IN THE TATTOO OH MY GODDDDDDD
cripes reynard is so fucking scary
benedict you are an angel
"we're gonna put our jimmy choos so far up your ass you're gonna taste next season" as a declaration of war is unbelievably good
