quentin and eliot - peaches and plums [+4.13] | the magicians

[@iridescentspiralling4787]

On the one hand, there was a certain cleansing feeling to the ending and I can see how it will open up emotional avenues for the other characters to be explored. On the other.... there's just so much lost. Not only did they cut short what had the potential to be an incredible love story, one that a lot of people have been really passionate about for years. They also killed the character who has struggled the most with mental illness and thinking he might never find a way to be happy. And he never did. He never got to be happy, he never got to fully overcome that daunting prospect, which means that the audience never got to see him do that. So not only does this hurt fans of the character and fans of the couple but it also sucks for lgbtq+ fans and fans with mental illness.

[@Accal1a]

I'm not crying, YOU'RE crying.

[@HexenFrau]

Let me start by saying that this season finale broke my heart! Quentin is/was an essential character in this show. Time after time it was Quentin who brought them all together and kept them on track, like when he made everyone sing under pressure in season 3. I think a lot of people are over looking what I think is the single most important episode ever... Quentin and Eliot lived An Entire Life time together, they raised a son together, Quentin Buried Eliot and then died himself as an old man. They Loved, They Lived, they HAD their time together, and yes it sucks that they could or would not have a chance to try again, and I hate losing Quentin, but as far as him never being happy, never getting to love, that's not true at ALL!!! Quentin and Eliot were probably the only character to ever know peace, and love, and everything they wanted... but like life, everything changes. I hate to lose Quentin but I take some solace in knowing that out of all of the characters he was the only one who really had it all.

[@karas1813]

The song and Eliot's come back are the only good things in this season finale. I hate the way the play with the audience, making us believe that Queliot would be a thing, and then turning down to make the Qualice endgame. And the worst part is that Eliot never had the chance to be brave and confess his feelings to Q, and now Quentin is gone thinking that El only saw him as a friend.

I hate to be the one saying this but ralph has spoken with the writers and unless they drastically change their minds, he is gone, permanently.

[@stephwiller9089]

@@normalcommenter8595 Yeah I read some interviews after and some make it seem like a mutual decision and others make it seem like they asked after they already decided and he just went with it. It actually kinda pisses me off more that they didn't tell any of the other cast members, no one had the opportunity to point out how bad a decision this was. It just sucks, he seemed to be enjoying himself. I am going to miss his and Hale's interaction, not just the romantic ones. I don't understand why they thought this would be a good idea unless they are planning on ending the show after season 5. Which, honestly, might be for the best now. Give them a season to close out all the storylines and bring closure to everyone I guess. Maybe I'm just too bitter right now but he was the heart of the show. As much as I love everyone else (Eliot being tied for first place with Q), I don't see how they can fill this hole.

This is very possibly the best video I have seen post-finale.

You somehow made Quentin's faces at the bonfire even more heartbreaking.

Q smiles the brightest when hes around Eliot. He cries the hardest when he sees him singing for him. Eliot will never be able to see Quentin again and apologize. This show fucking broke me.

I'm crying from watching this, but out of sadness. I don't think it's a beautiful thing to celebrate two people who were denied their chance at happiness. It's not poignant or insightful, it was cruel. All I wanted this entire season was for Eliot to at least tell Q how he truly felt about him, and he didn't and Q died and that fucking sucks. I'm sorry but fuck this!

[@rthompson1160]

[@godlover15t]

All though this wasn't the outcome I was hoping for. It makes the most sense for Q's character. He was always the one to jump in and sacrifice. Who believed in magic. But he was never truly happy. The only time he was happy was building the mosaic. And that was because it was everything he needed and wanted. And it was a calm place. You have to remember the monster was in el for the better part of a year. And in that time Q changed. And grew up. He needed to get eliot back. Maybe it was never for the reason of being with him. But simply for the fact that he couldn't leave his best friend and soulmate trapped inside this thing. So he tried his damndest. He did everything he could to make it work out. And in the end. He knew the solution. Self sacrifice. Q is a math wiz. He knew there was no way out of that room. But he did it to save everyone. So they could live. So they could fight another day. His story had come to an end. I dont think they meant to queerbait. I think they meant to show the love between best friends and soulmates. Which they did. Life isnt always fair. People die without goodbyes. Its rough and raw and exactly a human feeling. And this show has always been real life to me. From season one. You could feel the chemistry between the guys. And it grew throughout. Then they lived their whole life together. 50 fucking years. that they remember. They had their life together. There was no where else to go with his storyline. Except turning him into one of the girls that sit on the sideline with their boyfriend. As beautiful as that would have been to see. I think the death scene was beautiful and showed how much he meant to them. And how much they meant to him. So I'm excited to see how everyone copes next year, with a story that was centered around the now dead boy. They all have their own stories to tell now.

[@peachesandplums4931]

The problem is not that Quentin is dead. The problem is that they don't revive him. Do writers really want to say that Alice and Eliot won't run to save Quentin at the first opportunity? Alice in the 23 timeline cut off her fingers for this. Eliot would do his best for the man he loved for 50 years. You can say "Quentin went further so he couldn't be return" BUT QUENTIN 23 ALSO WENT ON. And he was returned. The problem is that the writers listen only themselves. The problem is they wanted to be "innovators", but they became just stupid pieces of shit. They don't hear the fans, they don't apologize, they do NOTHING. I have depression. I believe in happiness, but I don't remember when I felt it last time. The last episode tells me my only way is go and die. I regard it that way. And a lot of people with depression think in the same way. And the writers DON'T FUCKING CARE. They don't fucking care on their influence on the impact of the show. They just want to be INNOVATORS. But instead of making a good and interesting fourth season, they ruined the potential of 4 season and found the easiest way out is to kill the “white main character man”. When Quentin was white bisexual with depression. But you know what? It doesn't matter what his orientation, gender or skin color. What matters is that his death have no sense.

[@godlover15t]

@@peachesandplums4931 I know it was nonsensical. But it in a way it made since with his character. I could agure my reasonings behind it. Just like you could argue yours. We could come to a consciences. But we will always have that slight differ in opinion. I know why they wrote him off. I know that they killed any potential with Alice or eliot. But I think they are trying to say that well "you sacrifice for who you love" that was quentin's way of doing so. If you look at it from his point of view. He was a lover of magic, lover of his friends, trustworthy, kid at heart kind of person. With a severe mental illness. Which in turn he grew up. His mental illness was still there. Like It always would have been. It was his way of giving his life purpose. Again from quentin's point of view. He has always wanted a reason to live. A reason for everything to mean something. But sometimes it just doesn't. And you have to make rash decisions. That was his. Trust me I'm not going at this easily. I'm saddened by his death. But not because of the bi thing or who he was made out to be. But by the death of someone struggling with something that so few understand, but a lot relate too. I could throw my illness in as well but it doesn't change anything. I'm in the same boat as most of u. Illness wise. But I didnt take " I'm going to kill myself" out of that. I took being there and helping out the people you love in anyway possible. I know the writers dont listen to fans or the actors for that matter. But they took the show were they took it. And there is no going back. Even if they went to another timeline to get him. It's still not the same. It's still not Q. I'm just going to wait until the next season to see how everyone does with his death. He was like their star and was snuffed out.
