hi making a quick pinned post about this blog as i delve in to making pages and start to re-follow people: 

i’m ilse (they/she, 25+) and i’m from new york city and very obnoxiously so. my rules are under construction, but the old set on my blog are still true. 

this blog has existed since august 2017, but i rebooted it july 2020. i’ve been writing kady on and off since before august 2017, and am glad to be back to it. 

my relationship with the magicians is usually to say fuck canon because the show pisses me off a lot of the times especially in regard to how kady is treated. i’m currently doing a rewatch, but you should know i have not watched s5 or the end of s4 yet.   i’m getting there during this rewatch but i rage quit the show right around that time. typically i prefer writing s2 redo kady but that more i get in to later seasons that may change, esp with kady helping hedges storyline! 

this is gonna sound pretentious maybe but here goes:   i’ve been writing kady for a good chunk of time, and well before the show may or may not have tried to give her a backstory.   if any of my headcanons go against something in s4 or s5,  it’s not canon on this blog until / unless i say it is.    honestly tho i highly doubt they went that far in to her canon... but putting it as disclaimer hereeee.   but no stress on writing s5 based things u probably will just have to fill me in : / 

i’ll sometimes post headcanons about the hedges. brakebills, write ups of the magicians universe, etc.  you’re free to reblog and use with credit. 

if you hate addic/ts literally fuck off.  this is not the muse for you. 

still typing up verses but so far i know i will have: a wolf verse, a vampire verse, a legacies verse, a general tvdu verse, a harry potter (gryff) verse, and a mutant verse [x]. 

sending me memes is a good way to get me to interact okay byeeeee

❛❛    look,   i know you don’t exactly have a reason to  trust  me,   but i’m going to need you to anyway.   ❜❜    kady folds her arms across her chest and leans against the door frame.    she doesn’t  want  to drag anyone else in to this,   but there’s no other option.    not when the hedges are going apeshit.    ❛❛    and if not for me,   remember that other hedges lives are at risk here.   ❜❜

❛❛    you have   g o t   to be kidding me.    ❜❜    this multi-verse shit ?    it   definitely   has something out for her.    penny’s been replaced by some   fucking eunic  who won’t stop making doe eyes at   ––    julia,  of all people  ––   and now,   this.    kady has half a mind to storm out of there,  to refuse her help,  to refuse to   help them .

but redemption has run its course,   and she’s off to find some higher purpose,   something  other  than living in spite of circumstance.    kady had given them her word,   and in this new life,   that means something.   it has to.    her nostrils flare, and through gritted teeth,  she speaks. 

❛❛    what do  you   want,   marina ?    ❜❜

Sneaking back out of the Forbidden Section of the library is  more  of a bitch than sneaking  in  was in the first place.   Somehow,  they make it out in one piece,   breath ragged and skin flushed and leather bound books sticking to sweaty skin.   Kady flashes as exasperated look at the other girl.

❛❛     Tell your boyfriend he owes me.    Big time.    If we can bail him out,  that is.    ❜❜

Kady has dealt   unforgivable   hands in her life.    It’s an inevitability she,   and so many others like her,   eventually have to face.     But this time around ...    The cruelty burns like bile in her throat.    Anguish is ripped from between Spencer’s lips in piercing wail.    Kady hesitates with frightened eyes as Spencer turns back to help them. 

Feelings were never on the table.    Kady was meant to  seduce  her,   to get information,   to earn her freedom.    But somewhere in the curl of Spencer’s lips,   in the tiny gasps for air after stifled laughter in the dead of night   ––    Spencer drew Kady’s emotions out like seedlings reaching for sunlight.    And all at once,  she was more than a mark.    All at once,   Kady found herself bargaining not just for her own life   ––   but for Spencer’s too. 

❛❛     We don’t have   time   to go back and save her,  Spence.     ❜❜    An iron grip holds the other back,  her gaze wandering away   ––    anywhere it won’t meet the wild desperation in Spencer’s eyes.    ❛❛     Besides,  we both know Melissa wouldn’t do the same for    y o u .     ❜❜

❛❛     I don’t  care  who your family is.     ❜❜     Arms fold across her chest.    〘   ALMOST ADDICTING ISN’T IT ?   THE POWER BEING LOVELADY HOLDS.  〙    Blue eyes narrow at the woman before her,   at the calculated yet dignified way she holds herself.    Something’s...  off  about the request,   something tells Kady not to trust her...   but she can’t afford new enemies this fast.   Can she ?    ❛❛     What do   you   want with the amulet ?    ––   And how much are you willing to shell out for it ?     ❜❜

❛❛     Look.    I can’t help you  bring him back,   B.     ❜❜     Her hand reaches out to grab Brooke’s,   gentle squeeze and gentle eyes.     Brooke had been easy enough to  write-off   –––    just another basic NYU from the middle of nowhere come to the big city with wide eyes and high aspirations.    The stench of naivety follows those girls wherever they go,   but the moment Brooke uncovered what   ––   who  Kady was,  she saw through the cracks in the facade.     Brooke was running away from tragedy too. 

Loss is a  bitch .     But if Kady had the antidote,  she’d have used it long ago.    A beat.   Kady grazes her thumb along the back of Brooke’s hand before she gets up,   heading toward the walls of bookcases in her living room. 

❛❛     But I  might  have something that could help you communicate with him.     ❜❜

❛❛     Haven’t Sebastian and Margo come up with a peaceful   solution   already ?     ❜❜     She’s not stupid.    Eliot coming to her without a formal  royal summons ...     He hasn’t run it by them.     ❛❛     Why the sudden change of heart ?     ❜❜

❛❛     I’m not a  hero,  Nia.     ❜❜         Even in the dim,  grimy lighting of the bar,  Kady can see that last glimmer of hope in her eyes   :   but you could be.     It’s been years since someone believed the best of her   ––   and Kady had  built  her new life that way.     No entanglements,   no liability.    Trust,   friendship...   it all left her too vulnerable.    But tonight,   there’s something she can’t ignore behind the hurt look   :    something to lose.

❛❛     I’m  sorry.     ❜❜    Kady chokes on her words,   looking down at her nails.    She slides Nia’s drink in front of her.     ❛❛     Look,  your drinks tonight are on the house,   but...   I’ve gotta get back to work.      ❜❜

It’s not the Library’s story. It’s our story.

❛  Exactly  what  he  deserves  are the key words here.  ❜    There’s a  playfulness  to her tone.    She wouldn’t mind watching her brother suffer  for now   ;   it’s not like Kady could actually manage to  kill  him  …  right ?     ❛  Don’t underestimate him,   though.    He will come for you with such fury,   surely even  you  have never seen before.  ❜ 

She scoffs like it’s a    weapon   of self defense.     Arms fold over her chest ,    gaze falling to the floor.     ❛❛    Don’t have to have   seen it    if i’ve    felt it .     ❜❜      The words taste bitter on her tongue.     Kady can feel her nails break the rough skin of her palm at just the    thought .

There’s a pause.     She clears her throat to speak again ,    finding it    impossible    to even glance back up at Rebekah.     ❛❛    Thanks ,    I guess.     ❜❜      Her gratitude hovers awkwardly between them.    Has she ever   had   anything to be thankful for ?      ❛❛    ––    And I’m sorry ahead of time.   ❜❜      For your loss.
