Rewriting The Entirety Of SGE: The School Years

HELLO?!???!? MOTHER RUPAUL AS SCHOOL MASTER?????? DRAG RACE SGE????????

Hello I'm a bit behind on Soman's Substack blog but I just wanted to make you all aware of this

im sorry. im so sorry. rupaul. are you meaning to TELL ME we could've had RuFal. What.

first year vs fourth year

aka im back in sge mode heyyyyy 😭 just doodling some (mostly soon to be featured) characters from my prequel / young callis+arthur series (i know its kind of old BUT. i AM working on the next installment which is probably going end up 3x as long 💀 stay tuned for wip posting. and callis posting 🥰)

ummm random ideas / explanations under the cut:

gareth and gaheris are arthur's cousins (gaheris is 15 (1 year older than arthur), gareth is 12) and both in his class. they generally dislike arthur for various reasons but mostly because they think he's cursed + stole the crown from his brother

callis is gareth's best friend. he is Not hers. he might also be in love with her but that is a tale for another time. you'll see

george (or grog) and alek are callis's roommates (alek is barely 16, george is turning 12). they both got into evil technically by nepotism. you'll see

it will be Ages before i can properly explain why lesso's name is completely different in this series so ill just say it here. its quite silly actually but its been this way for Years and Years so "leonora" is actually a portmanteau name of her first nickname (nora) and a second nickname (leo). the road to nickname 2 will be a long one paved with the power of friendship and not dying in the trial by tale etc etc. you'll see

emma is a surprise tool we will use later or something. she's not relevant after first year or so but im doing my own spin on her not being asked to the snow ball but somehow not being failed. what i'll say now is that callis and gareth are involved. you'll see

uhhh and if you're reading this have a snippet

MODERN AU

maybe im small brain, idk man,, anyway have some SGE modern au.

whoever repost this can go to the corner and think about what you’ve done. u thief >:[[[

AGATHA

- she Tired(TM) 

- “why buy starbucks when instant coffee is more cheap?”

- She couldn’t be bothered with fashion stuff

TEDROS

(i’m sorry,, i didnt do lineart n stuff,,)

- ur typical sporty boi

- i think i dont need to elaborate on tedros right?

SOPHIE

- self care queen Sophie

- gives off yandere vibes (but that what peeps into these days)

- She a bitch, but we already know that

- childhood friends with agatha :DD

OTHER CHARACTERS:

(its mostly girls,,, im sorry, twas 2am,,)

-YES THE COVEN SOFTBALL PLAYERS

- Beatrix is that “really nice and pretty senior that everyone has a crush on and respect” (like Liz in spiderman: homecoming i guess,, idkkk)

OTHER SKETCHES:

What are your thoughts about morgrifs? I think its very concerning considering the fact that half of the student body turns into animals and plants because- they failed their classes? they arent good/evil enough? The three fails- and your gone? you failed your classes and now your stuck either as a servant for the other school, or be a food or be a sidekick- THIS ARE LITERAL CHILDREN?!?!!? AND THEYRE STUCK LIKE THAT TILL THEY DIE??? WHAT?????

the mogrif system is beyond unethical and so unnecessary. it’s actually horrifying and gave me the creeps when i read the books. it’s too harsh of a punishment, like not everyone is going to get the hang of things and need practice so turning them into a plant or an animal FOREVER is so cruel and just shows that it’s a bad school. the good/evil enough thing is awful and i’m glad they addressed that in the circus of talents. no one is completely good or evil (not even agatha and sophie, i won’t accept they’re 100% good/evil). so why should they be punished for that?

i get the point was to make the books scary and give the fairytale world a dark edge but i’d accept it more if it was a punishment for something huge, not failing a regular lesson. and yeah, tracking is just terrible, the best of the best are leaders, the fortunate are sidekicks, and the unlucky ones get turned into plants or animals. LIKE YOU HAVE A REALLY HIGH CHANCE OF BEING A PLANT OR ANIMAL IT IS SCARY.

i can’t believe millicent was a deer, mona is a jellyfish, and brone is a tree like- it’s so weird the students we read about are now animals and plants?? it just feels like a terrible fate and it’s even sadder when you’re a reader who has no idea what is going on and have to adjust quickly even though everyone is incredibly biased against you :/

OK I REALLY LIKE HOW IT TURNED OUT-

Call, The Makar, The Enemy of Death.

---

He wanted Aaron back. It was like a roaring in his soul, the sadness of terrible loss. The realization of what Constantine must have felt when he lost Jericho.

Call didn’t want to understand how Constantine had felt.

---

But he does. He understands very well. But unlike Constantine- Call won't fail.

low effort reigen doodles to combat my lethargy

Bored so here is Alex succeeding in his murder plans

—————

Call was starting to regret this plan, now sat what felt like alone in the library – though he knew Aaron, Tamara and even Jasper weren't very far away. Yes, he could catch the spy. But he could also die very easily.

The library door opened slightly then closed again. Calls eyes immediately darted to it, but he couldn't see anything there. He felt uneasy. Like something was there that he couldn't see. He almost wanted to give up now and leave the library without finding anything out, but he didn't want to look like a complete coward. He felt misplaced air near him, and quickly tried to grab it. Nothing. He was probably just paranoid.

A book fell off one of the shelves, making Call jump. Just a book. Gravity does that. Nothing to be scared of.

Jasper was so much going to laugh at him for this once it's over.

He tried to calm his breaths and stood up to put the book back on the shelf. He didn't want to get in trouble if it was damaged or anything.

What felt like a very strong blast of wind came towards him, making him stumble and fall over. That hurt. A lot.

He got back up, trying to figure out where that came from. He was inside. There shouldn't be wind.

Sighing, he put the book back on the shelf and tried to go back to his seat. An even stronger gust of wind launches him into the wall. He screamed.

Air magic.

He wasn't prepared for the situation of an air mage.

He saw what looked like a floating hand for a few seconds before it disappeared again and Call was launched straight at the ceiling. The blow to his head made him back out for a second but somehow didn't kill him.

He screamed again, tears falling down his face as he realised what was happening.

"Help! Please!"

Call felt something tug at his soul, and a blast of chaos went out in a random direction, probably aiming to hit whoever was doing this.

It obviously missed, as Call was slammed straight into the wall.

He couldn't feel his body anymore. He wanted to scream but couldn't. His friends ran out from behind the bookshelf, all trying to do something. Call couldn't tell what, his vision was fading.

He felt himself fall and then everything went black. The last thing he heard was a shout – his name. Aaron was shouting his name. Then he couldn't hear anything at all

<< POV switch >>

Aaron ran out quickly, realising what was happening.

"Call!" He screamed as he saw the other boy fall. Call hit the ground and went limp. "Call! No!" Tears filled his eyes. He looked around, trying to figure out what was going on or what to do.

"Aaron!" Tamara shouted, but Aaron didn't have a chance to respond before he was levitated in the air and slammed into the wall next to Call.

He couldn't feel half his body. His head was foggy but he was alive. He closed his eyes and tried to make his breaths less obvious, the spy wouldn't kill him if they thought he was already dead.

He heard another scream and resisted the urge to open his eyes. It was both of them – both Tamara and Jasper – that screamed.

But at the second scream from Jasper Aaron's eyes shot open. There was a pair of quickly moving in and out of Jasper's back, stabbing him repeatedly. Tamara was going blue and not breathing. Aaron tried to run towards them, to save them, but couldn't. He couldn't move his legs or even feel them – was it the hit against the wall?

It took minutes for both Tamara and Jasper to die. They collapsed and went limp. Aaron couldn't do anything but watch, and then prepare himself for the same thing to happen to him the moment the sky realised he wasn't dead.

It didn't. The door opened slightly and closed again, leaving Aaron alone with the corpses of his three best friends and no clue who did it, unable to move half his body to get out or go for help.

Why? Why was he left alive? Why were Tamara and Jasper killed too? Why was Call killed? Why not him? Why was he still alive?

He reached over and held Calls hand tight. It was going cold. Aaron broke down crying.

This wasn't real. It couldn't be. Call couldn't die. Not Call or Tamara or Jasper. If any of them it should've been Aaron.

But all he could do was wait for someone to find him now.

—————

Author note if Alex leaving Aaron alive doesn't make sense he says in his evil speech that his plan was keeping Aaron alive after killing Call and then alkahesting him afterwards.

Okay byee

Alright, *cracks knuckles* here we go,,

1. Iconic lines:

“The three of you are a team. You’re going to work together and fight together and, yes, even eat together, for the next five years. I have chosen you not just as individuals, but as a combination. No one else will be joining you, because that would alter the combination.”

- the only thing rufus did right

Aaron stood up, gripping his fork in his hand. He looked furious.

“It wasn’t your spot,” he spat out at Jasper. “It’s more than just points. It’s about who the Master wants to teach — and I can see exactly why Master Rufus didn’t want you.”

- EVERYBODY CHEERED, ATE THAT BTCH UP MAN

They all yelled in excitement. Tamara yelled because she was happy, Aaron yelled because he liked it when other people were happy, and Call yelled because he was sure they were going to die.

- theyr so silly i love them 🥺🫶💕

2. Omg lore ok

The quincunx - fire, earth, water, air, and chaos

- ngl i forgot about the order of the elements so thats epic

4th rule of magic. You can change a thing’s shape, but not its essential nature.

- ok i remembered this one, but i think the authors did forget tho, would be rlly cool to see this more idk

Dispersing rogue elementals before they can cause harm is one of the important tasks mages are responsible for, he’d said. If they feel threatened, they can disperse back into their element. It takes them a lot of energy to coalesce again.

- huh.

3. Id rate this 7/10

Id say its better than the first 5 chapters, chapter 6-10 needs some work but it was enjoyable enough.

They did an excellent job in exploring the characters and their dynamics here. Thats huge plus for me.

4. I wish they expanded more on the other lessons thats not sand stuff

Magisterium is very much a school. And the fact that the main trio only gets their general magic education once a week then goes back to sand sorting is awful to do to kids.

It's incredibly unrealistic for them to be able to pull off other magic spells without practice. Its one thing to know it in theory and another to actually do it. I understand what theyr going for with the "learning control" sand lesson thing, but its also another to apply what u learn on a completely different thing. You can't just go from earth bending to air bending in one go all cuz u "learned control". They learned how to control sand. Sand has completely different properties from fire!!!

HE DIDN'T TEACH THEM ANYTHING OMFG. HE DIDN'T EVEN TEACH THEM HOW TO MOVE THE SAND- THEY FIGURED IT OUT ON THEIR OWN- AND HES JUST GON LET THEM COMPETE?!?!?????

and don't get me started on the wyverns istg.

One thing that i get out of rereading tit is slowly but surely disliking rufus even more istg.

DAY 2 OF TIT BOOK CLUB

(really sorry for the really late post, tumblr was a bitch and didn't post my post 2 hours ago when I originally made it) ANYWAY

Here's the prompts for today! Answer them at your leisure and remember to have fun!

What is the most iconic line in the chapters you've read? (keep in mind when I say "iconic line" i also refer to really funny lines, such as a snarky comment from call)

[For me, it's this!

“I’m going to kill you,” Tamara said very calmly. “I am going to sort your guts into piles.”]

2. What is the thing that you forgot about (piece of lore, something that happened, a character line) but upon your reread you remembered it and you're genuinely shocked by it?

[For me, it's the fact that Rufus told Call the reason he took him as apprentice is to punish himself 💀]

3. Rate these chapters as well! Are they better than the first five? Worse? [I like the first five chapters more, i give these ones a 7.1]

4. (optional) Something you wish would've been added at this point in time specifically

[I would've preferred if we got some lore drops about the mage world, but that's just me!]
