[with the cadence of matt berry's delivery of 'father' in the it crowd] VERGILLLLL i miss hounds so much but classes and life are kicking me into the gutter so it goes so it goes etc but i'm going to catch up when i have time. also....enochian? 👀 i cannot think of it without thinking of cas which means i can't think of it without crying wonderful timely collision with the recent anniversary of november 5th.

fun fact i used to bookbind in 2020 and geez it is expensive but if i ever pick it up again....might i have permission to bind hounds? i'm picturing a lovely starry cover...... ohhhh imagine all the moon stars & sun motifs i could fit into it.... i could try gilded edges..... all the typesetting i could do.... akjsdfjh rambling here but i love typesetting so much dafont dot com my beloved. not to mention the ANNOTATIONS.

anyways very glad that i could pop by!

my good time boy, my sweet cheese, my rotten solider, hello <3 I wish you strength and fortitude and winds at your back in these trying times, may you make it through the Mad Rush that is October And November and further may you roundhouse kick life/classes in their stupid teeth

oh homie I went Hard In The Paint with the enochian I hope u enjoy (when time allows ofc stay strong soldier)

while I was not a full supernatural girlie I did actively read destiel fic because so much of it was (and is!) so fucking good?? like??? god there's one I'm thinking of that I can't remember the name of but it's like. dean buys this house and he's with cas but cas doesn't speak and like. eventually it's revealed that cas is dead?? like dean was just projecting him?? I think that was it I remember vividly a front porch scene and the texture of an old house peeling wallpaper creaky floors and this horribly good sadness. anyway that shit hit.

like what was it with 2000's/2010's shows creating these insanely compelling devotional-love-in-extremis arcs between their main leads and then. adamantly denying the subtext (or even just. text.) existed. "no they were just bros" oh excuse me well "I gripped you tight and raised you from perdition" says otherwise!! "when castiel first laid a hand on you in hell he was lost" says otherwise!! "we're family. we need you. I need you" says fucking otherwise!!! (this comment is also about house md because. those two assholes were in love like I'm sorry it's literally unavoidable like. like. yeah.) anyway happy belated nov. 5th <3

YOU. YOU HAVE MY FULL PERMISSION. HNKH. STARRY COVER?? SUN MOON MOTIFS?? GILDED EDGES?? SEXY TYPESETTING?? you have my full and utter permission and pls send pictures if u do end up binding it!! (and no pressure ofc ofc! if u feel like it if time allows etc etc etc). (also dafont.com my love my light I do graphic design work w one of my clubs at school and me and dafont are homies, perhaps lovers even) (also also just. the thought. of my work. being annotated. in tears. shambles even. holy lord. no greater gift. no greater honor. yeah. thank you even for the thought!!)

good to see you and godspeed my friend!! <3 <3 <3

In light of the show’s cancelation, to spread some love and happiness, we’re doing @highkingfen’s The Magicians meme too!

1. Favorite Main Character

M: I refuse to choose between Eliot and Margo. I picked them as my faves years ago when I watched season 1 and I never changed my mind. I could never get bored of these two.

N: Penny Adiyodi, Margo Hanson, and Eliot Waugh. As much as this question is asking for only one character, I will not pick just one. These characters have been my top 3 from the start, and that hasn’t changed.

2. Favorite Side Character

M: There’s so many good ones. Jane, Fen, Zelda, Harriet, Fogg… I guess I’ll go with Fogg this time. There’s so much more to him than meets the eye, and Rick Worthy’s dry delivery never fails to crack me up. I’m gonna miss him.

N: Watching Dean Fogg has been a wild ride, and he never fails to entertain me. I also absolutely adore Fen, and am so pleased that she got to be her own person while never losing her kind and bubbly side.

3. TV Trope Showed In The Show

M: No Budget: Any time they make a joke about not having money for something, like with the invisible castle, or both Blackspire and the Fairy Castle just being the Whitespire set. Love it when the show gets self-aware.

N: Hard questions. There’s so much I love, there’s so much that makes the show fun and unique. But the tropes I love the most are related to genre de/construction, because it demonstrates how self-aware the tv-show is. An example of this is the subversion of “the chosen one” trope in 1x13 or the call-out of (fantasy) books having only one kind of protagonist, emphasizing the importance of other kinds of representation in 4x06.

4. Favorite Bunny News

M: “Eat my ass.”

N: “Eat my ass.”

5. Favorite Plot Twist

M: I still vividly remember watching 4x05 with my darling co-host of this blog and having to pause the episode because we wanted to speculate on what Eliot’s worst memory might be. We got it wrong, but it was some of the most fun I’ve had watching an episode. And 4x13 was one hell of a twist, though I’m not sure I’d classify that one as ‘favorite’.

N: Alice being the chosen one. There might be better or more fun ones, but this one was meaningful to me because I kept wondering throughout the season “why Quentin?” So when it wasn’t him, it made me think that this show could be different from other fantasy shows. It was compelling.

6. Favorite Quote

M: Alice: Being an adult doesn’t mean that you have to throw away what you used to love. Quentin: Then what does it mean? Alice: Seeing the world through new eyes.

N: I suppose I’ll pick a poignant one to highlight this show’s depth instead of a silly one. Quentin: "The Madness Maker didn't play for the joy of winning, just the fear of losing. The real curse was, he only played when he could win, which cut him off from the surprise, horror, sadness, and wonder of life. Jane saw only one way out for him: Stop playing. Start living."

7. Funniest Pun Or Geek Related Joke

M: Margo and Eliot’s undercover pop culture dialogue scene. “Whatever your Marsden would XOXO, Cersei XOXO’s, so we have to keep it very best episode of Buffy.” Did I mention I love El and Margo?

N: The whole conversation my wonderful co-host mentioned above. I felt so close to Margo and Eliot in that moment (pop culture as a secret language), and I also love that it revealed how often Eliot scans wiki-pages to keep up with his Bambi. If that ain’t love.

8. Favorite Outfit

M: Everything created for the Fillory royals. The costume department are geniuses, truly.

N: Definitely the Fillorian costumes for Margo and Eliot for creativity and beauty. Penny’s low-cut tops for ridiculousness, beauty (good cleavage), and the link to his culture.

9. Favorite Music

M: Take On Me. I didn’t appreciate it when I first watched the episode because it kinda got buried underneath… everything else, but it is such a gorgeous cover and I’ve found myself returning to it often.

N: I don’t know what it’s called, but there’s an instrumental melody that’s often used during emotional or tense scenes in the show. I really love it. That, to me, stands for The Magicians on an auditory level. Besides that, “Beautiful Dreamer” sang by Summer Bishil.

10. Underrated Moment

M: From season 1, The Writing Room, that scene after they get out of the Plover house and Alice wants to go back inside to save the ghost children, and Eliot is so cruel to her. Not because Eliot is a dick, but because it was the first glimpse I got as a fan of what this show could be at its best. Layered, emotional, and asking the tough questions.

N: I wouldn’t necessarily call it my favorite, but it’s underrated and definitely something I’ll never forget. In season 2, Cheat Day, when Quentin and Emily sleep together donning the visual representation of their respective ex(/dead) lovers... that was the type of fucked up shit I live for in fiction. So messy, so ugly, so painful—I’m pleased The Magicians never shied away from any of it.

which was a very emotional and wonderful event. So this book was a beautiful and ... I'm a runner, and I've read all of Dean's books. His "Ultramarathon Man" inspired me to begin running my birthday number, starting with 48, and just finishing my 56th birthday. I also ran the Athen's marathon in 2010, the 2500th anniversary of Pheidippides' original run, which was a very emotional and wonderful event. So this book was a beautiful and inspiring account of Dean's return to his homeland, written with the descriptions and emotion that only distance runners understand. He did a masterful job of weaving the history and the running philosophy together into a book that I really didn't want to finish (I read slower towards the end just to prolong it). I don't write many reviews, and I'm not exaggerating here, that this was one of my favorite books ever, and the best of Dean's writings, in my opinion. Go to Amazon

Reflections of the "ultramarathon man"... a great read! This book is Dean's reflection back into his greek roots, and the very roots of marathon running and beyond. Go to Amazon

I'm inspired to achieve "aristeia" or "personal bestness" This book is such a treat because it's about love, courage, Greece and history all weaving in and out of his experience at the Spartathlon. I laughed out loud pretty hard in a few places. Plus, you have to respect a guy who can run an ultra (and this one isn't your regular 100 mile ultra) on the ancient diet of fruit and water. As always, his stories inspire me to achieve "aristeia" or "personal bestness." Thank you Dean. Please never stop having epic adventures and sharing them with us. Go to Amazon

I loved the interwoven family history Be prepared to be inspired. Once again, Karnazes finds a way to simultaneously impress readers with his athleticism while offering advice and motivation to those less fit. I loved the interwoven family history, Grecian battles and mythology, and his Spartathlon experience. Well done, Dean! A must-read for any runner, wanna-be athlete, history buff, or lover of life. Every page is full of health advice, tips on optimizing well-being, and how to find meaning amid the chaos of modern-day living. Go to Amazon

Marathon man strikes gold Once again, Mr. Karnazes has beautifully written a book that invites the reader to participate in his journey. As "Karno" describes his lifetime fascination with all things Greek, he begins to discover himself. This leads him take on a challenge unlike any other. As he vividly describes the scenery, you feel as though you are running with him on this journey. After having read all of his previous books, I have to say that this is the best one yet! Go to Amazon

Great running story along with great history. Another great book by Dean. I love the way he tells stories. This book talking about the whole history of Pheidippides and his journey before the legendary run to Marathon was so interesting. From a history standpoint I learned so much about ancient Greece and the battles with Persia. As I was reading about his run to Sparta I found myself wanting to lace up my sneakers and get out running. A very compelling read. Go to Amazon

For some reason I thought this book was going to be boring!!!! Dean Karnazes has done it again. He combines the search for his ancestral roots with some Greek history, and weaves it all into a story about a famous footrace. In many ways it is like "Born to Run" meets "Natural Born Heroes". Of course Dean Karnazes has his own particular style and what really comes through in this book is his connection to his Greek heritage as well as the Greek people. An amazing story that was hard to put down. Go to Amazon

Nice story of running history and other insights An enjoyable read that provides great insight on the history of one of the first great ultra marathoners who changed the course of history for the better. Go to Amazon

... of this world book Is one of the most beautiful stores I have 👁Dean👀Karnazes👁 Inspiring # 167 Great read Dean inspires us to live passionately! Interesting book and a great blend of running and history. Inspiring though a bit overwritten Another great story. Three Stars
