Magisterium - Blog Posts

istg I'm the dumbest magisterium fan out there because I see everyone here on tumblr talking about Jericho, Constantine, Declan, master Joseph etc etc and im just smiling and nodding trying to remember who the hell half of them are

Im especially forgetful when it comes to all those family and master connections, *particularly* Constantines backstory

Ik I should reread the books or something but I'm too busy for that rn :P

@constantly-rainning made a magisterium public community :00! Feel free to join!

Call being silly

@wuffgang-ameowdeus-moozart gave me the funny t-shirts pics

"Alastair wasn't a hugger. And the one hug Call would ever get - he will never feel."

WHAT THE HELL- might as well use the gauntlet on me aND RIP MY HEART OUT

Kill The Child

I forgot to post these lmaoo,, the road trip was supposed to be for titversary day 1,,, they got lost cuz of tamara lmaoo

The 2nd one is an attempt to design their uniforms inspired by altar servers/acolytes. I used this design for the 'take me to church' animatic.

Random thoughts- what if magisterium has more religious symbolism,,, its literally called Magisterium

What if the magic system is similar to Clerics in DND. Theres a god that granted them powers/magic, and they pray to use it. Maybe makars are like prophets, those have a special connection to their god which allows them to have more powerful magic.

Since the symbolisms heavily references catholicism,, constantine adds more into it (u kno, since his namesake literally converted to christianity). Like- idk what if constantine being a makar made him believe that he is strong, that he can become god- thus enemy of death.

Idk idkk what do yall think? Akdnjfndejgh

Offer me that deathless death

Oh, good God, let me give you my life

please wake up

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!]

Kinda late participation post but huzzah

1. Fave lines:

"I think you deserve an ice-cream sundae — the biggest one we can get — on the way home. Your favorite kind, with butterscotch, peanut butter, and Gummi Bears. Okay?”

- i forgot that call is a kid with weird and crazy af preferences cuz wdym ice cream with gummi bears? That's so 💀💀💀 He does deserve it tho, kinda sad this wasnt mentioned again,, makes call rlly silly

If you could fly, whispered a small, treacherous part of his brain, it wouldn’t matter so much that you can’t run.

- this broke my heart,,

- when i first read this, i got so excited cuz i thought call would be able to fly at some point in the books. That it'll be his main thing, his specialized powers or smth. Imagine my disappointment when he only gets to fly during lessons, and nothing beyond that.

2. Best character aside from the main trio:

Master Milagros. They really captured the essence of a newly graduated, new hire teacher. The awkward introduction, the confidence in their work, and vibe, everything is so cool with her. And probably the nicest and sane and actually-cares-about-students out of all the masters in magisterium so,,,

3. Id rate it a 4.5/10

The prologue and chapter 1 really did a great job on setting the themes of "magic is scary" vibes. The tension built up for the entrance exam was well done.

But what comes after that is a shit show. The entrance exam ended up feeling like a human trafficking scheme. The exams itself feels rigged. The masters, the adults who are responsible for these children, feels like they don't care about them at all. These masters should NOT be teachers omfg (yes. Even Rufus.)

And not even the introduction to the school itself made things better.

So,, yeah,, its hhhhhhhh fun? happy tentitversary

<------ if you're confused about this post, i suggest to check this one out)

Ok I’ve decided I’ll stop screaming in my posts.

I trust everyone has done the reading 👀👀👀

Anyway! To spark the discussion, here’s three questions to start with! reblog or reply with the answer

What is the most iconic line in the first five chapters of TIT?

The best character in the first five chapters beside the trio (the one you find the funniest, the most intriguing one)

Rate the first five chapters on a scale from 1-10, either based on how the rest of the book compares or simply in general

Also, apologies, but I will be tagging everyone who interacted with the og post, if you don't wanna participate, just ignore this!

Kill The Child

Master Rufus' apprentices through the decades

Sure hope nothing bad happens to these kids!

This is literally the funniest way to get introduced to a fandom, this being the very first thing you see

ARE U HAPPY. R U FUCKING HAPPY. LEAVE ME ALONE NOW

I can still recall, our last summer..

Finally got around to drawing my designs for these Magisterium Characters!! My headcannons for them, in order:

Alastair Hunt, in my mind, is an all-American guy with not-so-active parents. He's got his cannon messiness and love for tinkering so I can't help but image him staying up night and day to take apart Radios, Watches and rebuild them with metal magic.

Jericho and Constantine Madden are def French-Russian, obviously have their mum and (despite being irrelevant anywhere) dad. Jericho has a talent for Water Magic in my mind, and him and Declan like making pages like this with Declans Photographs. Constantine is months short of discovering Chaos, so for now he loves Fire.

Sarah and Declan Novak ARE JUST HEADCANNONS. There is NOTHING to base them on except for their names and Sarah having the same dark hair as Callum. So now they're American with Grandparents in South America. They're also the smallest in the group and Declan gets Migraines that can even take his vision for a short while. Just so there's a solid reason he wasn't in active battle, since it would've been a bigger than average risk for him.

The Iron Trio

Sure hope nothing bad happens to them *clown music intensifies*

is there a parallel universe where everything is the same but YouTube was created earlier so there were earlier disturbing videos and one of them was Con's?

I feel like Alex has done at least one thing on the internet that's ended up in a "most disturbing internet rabbitholes" YouTube video. I want to say Constantine too but I haven't found anything in one of those videos that happened before 2007 and I can't push the cold massacre that far forwards

FOR REAL! God they just forget things as they go istg

Top reasons why Callum Hunt has PTSD premium edition:

also call was in freaking jail for 7 whole months and after they break him out of it it isn't mentioned anymore????? i think being in a high security jail with war criminals is enough to be a little traumatized???? especially if you wake up there after witnessing your best friend and counterweight die right before your eyes????? but it could be just me idk
