June 2012
You guys, I’m literally crying right now.
Things are all right again. I thought I’d lost something important, but I didn’t.
I can’t explain how beyond happy I am. Relieved, reassured, overjoyed. My world is all right again. It’s not a perfect world and I’m not a perfect person, but there’s so much more good than there is bad, messed-up and confusing. I know I don’t have everything straight. But I know I have a true friend on the face of this Earth, even if we don’t agree on all of the big things. And knowing that is enough for me.
I have realized some very horrifying things. TMI and TF2 fans, you will understand these.
1. Loki and Magnus Bane.
2. Mikhail and Magnus Bane.
3. PYRO IS SEBASTIAN.
Must. Create. Fanart.
Holy crap, you guys.
TMI’s Magnus Bane and Death Note’s L.
They’re totally related somehow.
NEW CROSSOVER HEADCANON. (That’s kind of horrifying, when I think about it.)
Haha, they could totally give Magnus and L each other’s hair and they’d probably be spot-on….
“Th3rd World Publishing will be adapting the The Mortal Instruments series as a series of comic books! While the release dates have yet to be finalized, check back here for artist information, sneak peeks at artwork and illustrations, and release information!”
YOU GUUUUUUUUYYYYYYYYYYSSS.
So, because I am a huge fangirl, I decided, while I was reading through the Mortal Instruments series, to write down every single Magnus/Alec Scenes.
City of Bones:
Page 243: Magnus says ‘Call Me’ to Alec.
City of Ashes
Page 125-127: Alec defends Magnus to Maryse and the Conclave
Page…
Ibelongtobooks, I LOVE YOU. YOU ARE MY NEW BEST FIREND. I WAS SO GOING TO DO THIS AND NOW YOU’VE DONE IT AND I AM A HAPPY PERSON.
you’re a fan after my own heart :D
It guessed Tom Hiddleston *insert fangirl giggles here*,Loki and Magnus Bane :D
HOH MY GOSH
I CAN’T EVEN
OH MY GOSH
THIS IS SO PERFECT
WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THIS
do you think we can petition Cassie to write The Magnus Chronicles or something
just the Complete History Of Magnus Bane.
because I need that. please.
I will strongly second this. Think we can start a petition going, anyone?
Excuse me, TMI fandom… Adam Lambert is NOT Asian.
Stop calling him your Magnus Bane dreamcast.
You can’t just randomly cast a white person as Magnus. Stop white washing everything. K? K.
Oh, really? We can’t, can we? You’re right. We can’t. We’re not the casting directors. And the last time I checked, they can.
I might point out that Magnus Bane is only one quarter Indonesian. The rest of him is Dutch. He’s not necessarily going to look completely Asian. You think we’re “white-washing” everything by wanting Lambert as Magnus? I’m sorry, but that sounds more racist to me than wanting Lambert on the big screen. There’s a thing called “digital effects.”
Also: Stage makeup. ‘Nuff said.
Don’t diss on other people’s interpretations of characters. He’s not just YOUR favorite character, you know. I’m not trying to be rude, but I’m not being particularly sugary, either. Talk like that about other people’s opinions, and they’ll talk like that about you. So be nice.
- Me: Fuck you, oh. Fuck. You.
- Me: What the fuck are you doing. What. The fuck. Are you doing.
- Me: NICE BLINKER ASSHOLE.
- Me: Good luck in the slow lane there, bud.
- Me: Why the FUCK are we not even going to speed limit. Why.
- Me: Lolol your car's a piece of shit.
- Me: If I miss that green light because of you...
- Me: You're gonna cut me off? You better hope you have a damn good accelerator, bitch.
- Me: I AM GOING TEN MILES PER HOUR OVER THE SPEED LIMIT WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT
- Me: Shit is that a cop? No.
- Me: Shit THAT is a cop.
- Me: Nope, roof rack.
- Sengawolf:
- Haha, you know, I could totally hear your voice saying some of this stuff. Inflection and all. It's great.)
If Adam Lambert got casted as Magnus, I would never watch that movie. We all know Shannon Kook Chun is the only person who will be acceptable as Magnus.
Can I just say “relax?” Even if he does get casted, the whole movie doesn’t balance on ONE actor, playing a supporting role (yes, no matter how much we love Magnus, he IS a supporting character), who might even be better for the role than Shannon is. Except we don’t know that, because we haven’t seen the movie yet, now have we?
I understand that there are some die-hard Shannon fans out there, but it’s not fair to the rest of the cast, crew and designers of the show - and to the author who wrote the inspiring series in the first place - todecide you won’t give the rest of the movie and its actors a chance just because they didn’t consult you over the casting of the minor roles.
I’m sorry, but we’re the fan base. No one ever consults us on the casting. Even though we think we know better, they are never going to consult us. They’re the professionals at what they do, not us.
Even if they do cast Lambert, it’s only fair to give him a chance. We don’t know that he wouldn’t do a better job of portraying Magnus than Shannon would. Looks are not as important as your ability to act. There’s a thing called digital effects.
Besides, think about it. Magnus is probably one of the most unique-looking, sparkly, outrageously-dressed characters out there in this type of genre. Whomever they cast, do you really think that by the time they’re done with hair, makeup and costuming, ANY actor playing Magnus would get away looking like themselves?
Calm yourselves down a little, people.
…
Also, yes, I do support Lambert as Magnus Bane. I think the slight hint of maturity in his facial features do Magnus better justice than the innocent and naive aura that seems to surround Shannon’s. But if Shannon is cast, I’m still going to support him, if only because I still love the character he’s playing.
I imagine that Magnus would be greatly offended if any of us chose not to go see him on the big screen.
The genie in Aladdin reminds me of Magnus
is that bad?
TOTALLY. He totally does.
Ohmigosh.
