So, I’m watching The Magicians, and, I didn’t wanna be so quick to say it - I mean I’m only in episode 5 but holy shit y'all, Quentin is autistic.
- He has a special interest (Fillory) and got really good at magic because he hyperfocused on it
- The way he kinda lacks in facial expressions, even when he’s emotional?
- Champion of fidgeting, messing with his hair and flailing his hands around (specially when he’s trying to talk)
- Champion of avoiding eye contact
- Only wears the same two, maybe three outfits, all which consists of similarly soft and comfy jackets
- The completely neurotypical way he likes to sit in chairs
(Also a big queer mood ngl)
- Also moves weirdly in other ways as well, like how he walks a bit hunched over sometimes
- Honestly, it’s the way he talks that sold it for me. It’s like he can barely get the words out through all the stuttering and “well, uhm"s, and he always does a little hand wave when he’s having a hard time speaking. Not to mention his voice has this kinda monotone cadence to it.
- This has been a headcanon.
@of-the-elves oh my god?!? I had no idea there were books, but this is HYPE I’m feeling really validated right now.
I know I haven’t watched much yet, but your comment suggests this particular into wasn’t stated in the show itself? Well, idk how to feel about that, but I believe they did a good job with the character nonetheless, since I was still able to tell without knowing.
This is a crocheted messenger bunny commissioned by an awesome Magicians fan as part of the Magicians fandom BLM charity fundraiser that NotA1oneHere organized. It contains a sound module that plays a line from the show- “Need help. Love Eliot.” I used Kati Galusz’s pattern (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dutch-rabbit) as a base and modified the markings.

Our Lady Julia, Goddess of the Tree- a doll commissioned by an awesome Magicians fan as part of the Magicians fandom BLM charity fundraiser. Based on Julia Wicker from The Magicians books trilogy/TV show (played by Stella Maeve).
Jointed canvas cloth doll, grey wool embroidered circle skirt (cut from salvaged garment) with green tulle underskirt, green tulle wrap top with gathered regency hood, interlaced pintuck back, hand colored flowers, and gold bee button closure, faux suede shoes with gold bee printed soles, toned brass crown, mohair wig.
I try to do something new for each doll. This was my first time designing this type of flat pattern (and I’m pretty pleased with how it came out since I have a serious visual spatial relations deficit). I also used liver of sulfur for the first time to tone the crown from bright brass to a more mellow gold color. It stinks, but it works. Despite not being an artist of any kind, I do think I am finally getting better at drawing the faces, which is, frankly, a relief.
