this fishy-eyed man

Whatever view you might take of this fishy-eyed man, you would never call him playful.

(from Tumblr) The funniest thing about this Magicians clusterfuck... [spoilers]

Verizon, who recently bought Apple and then killed off a third of Tumblr's userbase by turning on a blunt and draconian anti-porn banbot, have now put Tumblr up for sale, so that's a good reminder to not post my thoughts there because who knows what will happen. This post was actually from April 26 and has a lot of notes, mostly people fleshing this out with anecdata. The best one was the person who tagged it "#stupid doo doo heads can't even queerbait right".

The funniest thing about this Magicians clusterfuck to me is that they didn’t even wait long enough between making the queer couple canon ( spoilers for the recently-aired season 4, although I'm betting with the current levels of buzz nobody could've missed it )

If anyone missed the context, cleolinda has written about it from inside the fandom on April 22, The Magicians S4 Finale Aired Five Days Ago And I'm Still Mad As Hell

why did the chicken cross the road? because it had been trained to come when called

ME: Doves don’t provide tons of delicious chicken eggs, but chickens can’t be flight trained.

MY WIFE: Of course chickens can fly. You know about my chicken who could fly. Chickens just DON’T fly because they don’t need to.

also from Tumblr yesterday

So, of course my ultimate life goal evolves somewhat - I always want to move to Pargas, but I used to want sheep, then goats, and now I think maybe just chickens (maybe also goats). NEW PLAN:

1. Move to Pargas
2. Get fancy chickens
3. Flight train said chickens
4. ??
5. Profit (probably not profit; just enjoy flying chickens)
