I think the extraordinary thing that Death shows [Dream] is the complexity of humanity. She asks him to bear witness to people in the last moment of their lives and that something happens when you look closely at something. You begin to understand it. And I think that understanding are the first steps towards love. And I think when [Dream] has that pivotal transition, he thinks to himself “If I can feel this about these people after such a short space of time, how do I feel about a man who I’ve spent 600 years with?” And so he returns to him.

Is the If I Could See Your Face thread based off of Every Day by David Levithan?

(( OOC: Yes, it is! :D I’ve never read the book, but I saw a trailer for the film when it first came out and got the basic concept of it, which was “someone switching bodies every day” and ran with that. It was such a fun idea, and I decided to wait to see the film until after I’d written my AU script.

I’ve seen the film now, watched it a few months ago, and I can’t say I was super impressed with the acting, but the concept was awesome and I loved the ending. I’ve been informed by many of you that I need to read the book, so I’ll try that next. ;) 

I also found out there’s ANOTHER film, made in Korea, with the same concept called “The Beauty Inside”. After watching the two films, I actually prefer the Korean adaptation, and you guys should definitely watch it! It’s so well done! 

I would have mentioned in the thread that it was inspired by Every Day, but that would have given everything away, wouldn’t it? ;) ))

Okay, y’all are sleeping on The Magicians

No, the show is not queerbaiting, but please note that it shouldn’t be advertised as a queer show, but a SHOW with main canon queer characters who just are

Yes, the show could do better with representation, but the show is doing a hell of a lot better than most mainstream shows 

YES THIS SHOW HAS FLAWS ! But what show doesn’t? The show is trying its best and seems to listen to fans and make sure to do their research 

Some of these points are show specific and others are book specific 

CHARACTER WISE ? We got queer characters and actors, disabled actors, actors/actresses of color as main cast ! 

MAIN / A bisexual man with depression that isn’t cured by love or discovering magic 

as played by jason ralph

MAIN / A Native American woman who is suffering ptsd because of sexual assault and is never belittled for this 

as played by stella maeve 

MAIN / A woman who is allowed to be intelligent and sexy at the same time, as well as being selfish when she needs to 

as played by olivia dudley

MAIN / A gay man who suffers from alcoholism and drug addiction that isn’t treated like a joke 

as played by queer actor ; hale appleman 

MAIN / An Indian-American man who calls out racism, homophobia and sexism, and supports the women in his life 

as played by arjun gupta

MAIN / A Mexican-Indian-American woman who starts off as a party girl and becomes a great ruler who is allowed to be a bitch

who is also canonly bisexual 

as played by summer bishil

MAIN / A Native American-Israeli woman who is both mean and compassionate and these traits are able to coexist

as played by jade tailor

REOCCURRING / A black man who is blinded but still retains his position of power and badassery

 as played by rick worthy 

REOCCURRING / A woman who seemed like she was being brought in as a plot device but became a fleshed-out character with a storyline outside of her husband

as played by brittany curran

RECURRING / A deaf character played by a deaf actress who is powerful and her deafness isn‘t just a plot device

she signs with other characters ! 

two other characters sign to her !

scenes with sign language as dialogue are captioned and there is no audio at all !

while she does “die” there is a plot line to bring her back and she is now back

as played by deaf actress ; marlee matlin

RECURRING / A trans actress portraying a character who started as a villain and became an incredibly complex anti-hero

as played by trans actress ; candis cayne

the character is a queen by the way, who sacrifices herself for her people ! she sees her people ( the fairies ) being mistreated and chooses to save them with her life

she ends up helping our main cast in the end

while she does die it has nothing to do with being trans

MAIN / The character Josh Hoberman is jewish 

the books confirm he is jewish and fat

as played by trevor einhorn

RECURRING / A woman who was originally killed off is revived as a character and given a girlfriend who is now just going to live her best life with her future wife !

as played by kacey rohl

Villains who are pervs and rapists and paedophiles and never shown as redeemable ! 

so that is 5 canonly queer characters in the show

while the terms, gay / lesbian / bisexual / trans ae never used in dialogue in the show, it is not necessarily a bad thing since this isn’t a show about being queer or coming out, it’s about a fucked up world with magic and the characters who exist in it happen to be queer

we have a lot of sexual fluidity

all relationships in the show have value and get fleshed out ! romantic relationships do not overpower the show, the show ultimately shows that platonic relationships and family and friendships are just as important !

we got straight up platonic soulmates who kiss but aren’t necessarily a couple

did i mention we have polyarmory? and it’s usually mentioned and treated as something realistic 

the ruler of a magical kingdom can have a husband and a wife

there’s an episode with a literal poly family, like one character falls in love with a woman AND a man and the three of them raise a child together

instead of bury your gay ! we have revive a gay ! give her a girlfriend she’s gonna marry !

queer subtext from the book is made into actual text and canon in the show

confirmed by the cast and writers !

women can be kings ! men can be queens !

the show has writers / guest writers who come onto the show and write an episode ! one of the guest writers is a queer woman in a w|w relationship / alex ritter

the cast is all geniunely invested in their characters and their realtionships are very open to exploring character dynamics and new relationships and most seem to view their characters as not straight / are open to a queer relationship for their character / acknowledge queer ships !

WE HAVE MUSICIAL EPISODES each season that make sense ! liek the musical numbers actually happen in canon ! they straight up actually break out into song and know they are doing it and there is an explanation for why ! we got a number to one day more from les mis and under pressure so far

MAGIC BITCHES !

every single character is interesting ! and you actually see how characters grow and change based on circumstances !

the most realistic portrayal of nerds 

characters are canonly mentally ill ! confirmed by dialogue in the show ! these characters don’t forget and will mention this character’s depression and it’s diagnosed depression 

the show does not shy away from trauma and trigger themes, but they do their best to portray it in an accurate light and make sure not to treat it as a joke or belittle their characters for it ; we have touch on suicide, depression, rape, sexual assault, child sexual assault, alcoholism, drug addiction, other mental illnesses, bullying, trauma, ptsd, self hate !

the cast and writers love each other ! they are all beautiful and they love each other ! 

the disabled character is played a disabled actress ! 

sera gamble coming for us all

The Proposal

(( OOC: Thanks to @scamandergenes for being my irl wife and husband in this thread ))

Tonks feels something in one of the pockets, takes it out, and finds a small diamond ring. The sound of the front door closing startles Tonks, as Remus calls out “Tonks, you home, love?”

Tonks’ hair turns to a blue colour as she recalls how the ring came to be on her finger. “I was wearing your caridgan and I found the ring, and tried it on, and now it’s stuck and…”

Peeking between her fingers, she sees Remus on one knee smiling dopily up at her and asks “Remus, why are you on your knee? Stop being silly…”

BONUS:

and then they have a baby and live happy ever after until they’re old and grey and they die of natural causes when they’re 90
