I Swear The Magisterium Series Went So Hard With Saying You Can Bring Someone Back But You Can’t Fix

two of my irl friends thinks tedros is so bad- and its so hard to defend him TCY made him worse-

tedros is a misogynist pig and this fandom is tone death to how tagatha normalizes abusive relationships

i remember putting this on the back burner because i REALLY didn't want to piss people off but never mind op speak your truth.

in my own personal opinion, i wouldn't say they're ab//sive but there is toxicity in their relationship between books 4-6 that just got brushed over or handled completely incorrectly. i liked their relationship in the third book bc they actually learned how to properly communicate but forgot in book 4 and onwards. as much as i love tedros, he did not not unlearn his misogyny at all, it just shows up at the most random moments. like at one point he's like omg agatha my feminist queen my equal my not like other girls alt girlfriend! i'm so glad she doesn't suck up to me and tell me lies to make me feel good <3 and then came book six where he complained about the exact things he liked her for??? nah i'm just going to say this is soman's inconsistent writing and lack of thought in writing their relationship problems. like why completely subvert something established to make them argue when you could use their miscommunication problems to make them argue and then solve it?

i also didn't like how they just pretended the six month ignoring thing didn't happen because wtf that was just horrible to read and besides other characters joking about it, neither tedros nor agatha brought it up besides that mere apology in the celestium. and even after that they didn't properly communicate. like i really wanted to see them resolve their miscommunication problems and tendency to shut each other out and handle their problems on their own. but no, we brought back the sexism thing and made tedros a complete misogynist to develop his relationship like ?? what was the reason ??

i think there's more i could say but i haven't read/reread the books in a solid year so it's not fresh in my mind but yeah here's my take on it. i love them lots but these were pressing things i noticed in regards to op's post.

if we get some kind of reunion between these two in btsv i’ll bawl my eyes out

then u remember the lil teeny fact that arthur was coronated before he got to school for good and evil. I mean sure, he's prolly 16 at the time but- what stopped tedros? lololol

This is the most specific of nitpicks but like.... Tedros WAS king the entire time. Like all 6 books, not even just 4/5/6. the reason they say "the king is dead, long live the king" is bc the second the old king dies the heir immediately ascends to the throne. Camelot can't NOT have a King for 7 years, Tedros was absolutely King, he just wasn't coronated. honestly the more you think abt the entire Camelot thing the more it makes no sense. He should have had a lord protector or a council or smth to rule in his stead but he can't be a prince; they can call him a prince all they like but he's just not. He ceased to be a prince the second Arthur popped his clogs,,, coronations are just a formality rly

"I'll be king when I'm 16" babes you're king right this second did no one tell you that

i know we joke about cis artists having the weirdest sense of anatomy, but also even when the anatomy is fine, no one seems to want to draw women doing normal things

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.

You. You are enabling me, see i thought about it too >:00!!

I thought agatha will have time to pack stuff before leaving, which means callis has time to give agatha some advice or tips and tricks. Agatha will def kick ass at surviving fairytales class. And wouldnt it be really neat if reaper comes with agatha, agatha would freak out when she can understand her cat (but hey she has a companion now!!)

Agatha meeting friends along the way! I hab a person in mind but im still thinking about it, but either way ur so right, agatha getting exposed to creatures outside of sge would really make the mogrifs stuff even more devastating.

As for getting there! I thought agatha can either go to sge by bird, or by flowerground! And i thought oohh what if agatha finds the bird first, then fly to the flowerground, then the flowerground will take her straight to SGE.

Man im very normal about this au,, very normal,,,

@pumpkinpaperweight had a dream and now im suffering with brainrot. The "only sophie got taken so agatha went after her" post, and im not ok, im not ok. I have this plot in my head now, ideas and dialouges, but will i actually do it? idk so here's a couple sketches i did, what i imagined what happens at the aftermath of the kidnapping

aaaarrghh i want this to be a full blown au so bad you have no idea i am not okkk aaaaaaaahh

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:

do you ever wonder about the function of academic subjects in SGE? like: how does studying literature work if their stories are limited to actual, real-life fairy tales? do people even write fiction (also applies to gavaldon. are their only stories the ones in the fairytales. that's so sad)? is studying literature equivalent to studying history?

and yes, in the school for good and evil, it must be important to learn the practical skills: how to use magic and conduct yourself and stay alive. but what about critical thinking?

ANYWAY. this is my segway into the AU where august sader starts teaching media literacy, gets the students to question the stories, the system & the school master [basically what sophie & agatha do in the first book. good and evil as friends; as equals. but done by an Actual Adult], and overturns the underlying beliefs that govern the world of SGE.

also: inclusive education. i have a lot of thoughts about sader as a blind student during his school days, and how that shapes his teaching philosophy.

also: good teachers!! i similarly have a lot of thoughts about how sader must genuinely love history & how he might enable his students to do the same.

Oughh its hard to brainrot aus for sge when i forgot most of the plot of book 2 & 3

And i really really dont want to reread book 2

Prologue

"Well, Agatha had an answer to that.."

Apparently I didn't posted these here. so here it is.
