the magicians; weak but not giving in

bangs pots and pans together MY CANON NOW!
tw for suicide/depression (happy ending though, because i'm not an asshole, unlike some people)
did the finale crush me emotionally? yes. did i decide to make a fanvid for the version of my favorite show that could have been because fuck the finale? yes. am i avoiding studying for finals? also yes.
the quote at the end is from the books, which have a much better conclusion

Thank you for giving me a moment of imagining Quintin stepping through the door into the 41st timeline... I needed that

[@TaunellE]

Me too. 💖

[@hepaliens]

this is one of my favorite songs of all time, and i need you to know that this is quite honestly one of my top five favorite fanedits EVER. this is absolutely incredible. best magicians edit far and away. WOW. quentin deserved so much better than what he got, and this made me feel every inch of that pain and ache all these characters have gone through. i'm honestly in shock. gonna be thinking about this for a LONG time 💓

[@davethomas358]

I still can't believe they killed Q and killed him off the show and won't be returning. Unless they are lying to make next season big.

[@quinnsinclair7028]

Dave Thomas I suspect Jason Ralph will be back as a guest star to play the Dark Emperor, just to fuck with everyone’s heads.

[@jakecassar6554]

@@quinnsinclair7028 A lot of people have thought it's probably Plover. We'll have to wait a year, maybe only to find out it's Todd. XD

[@quinnsinclair7028]

Jake Cassar I don’t see it with Plover, he was a bastard, not a tyrant. Though I suppose give it three hundred years and it wouldn’t be hard for him to become one. Interesting, never thought of Plover. My first instinct was that it was a descendant of Q and the plum seller girl from the lifetime he spent in Fillory. Given that unless they want the show to die S5 has to be about grief and how you pick up the pieces after a major loss having the big bad be a living reminder of Q that was left behind made sense to me.

[@mikl12354]

No... The worst thing about getting the thing you want, is when its not good enough. They proved that quotes point with that..

[@clockworkclown8609]

Holy moly this got me good. I'm just lying here trying to recover. The parts about quentin and penny both trying to mean something with thier self sacrifice was just *cheff kiss* Thank you for the video!

[@josephdrake567]

This is so so good!!!!! Thank you for sharing it with us. :D

[@frecknic]

This was everything I didn't know I needed. Thank you.

[@m2012o1]

What a good use of that amazing song. I love the vid and I love tbe credits.

[@GlowingAprilSky]

Wow this was epic. Definitely one of my all time faves magicians videos. Magicians has slowly win over me, and now it feels like they stabbed me in the back haha I live this song and this edit, marvelous job 👏

[@you-st2rg]

im watching this everyday and crying. This is a real masterpiece

[@abbeymaroney8251]

Ending the video with that first shot of Quentin coming to Brakebills then the quote from the end of the books--Poetic cinema. I've been so down since the end of the season, this video really inspired me with the true spirit of what Quentin Coldwater stood for. Also "clips belong to me because fuck the showrunners" MOOD! Quentin Coldwater is ours now.

[@nicolewhitaker4669]

God this song is perfect how did I never realize 😩. Beautifully done 👏❤️❤️❤️

[@morthempstock9477]

Gorgeous. Necessary. Once again, you came through.

[@lunaant6575]

THIS. OMG THIS. WAS FANTASTIC AND PERFECT AND JUST YES. THANK YOU.

[@lindseycassella3015]

I saw this on tumblr. I'm glad it was also posted you on KZbin! This is great! Very uplifting!

[@711musicforever]

I thought I'd lost this video for a solid ten minutes and was genuinely horrified. It is one of my top two comfort video and I can't imagine getting through the hard shit in life without it. It's beautiful but it's also just everything I love about the Magicians woven into one hopeful little blanket.

[@heatherhoneycutt8338]

I've watched this video so many times. It's become something I turn to when my brain starts getting funky. Thank you for capturing the spirit of who Q was and what this show, at one point, meant for so many of us.

[@paolaliendo1651]

I watch this like once a week because I think it's one of the best edits I've ever seen, and I always find something new to revel at. So brilliant. Thanks SO much

[@theprincessandthepie]

ty for the nice comment!

[@charliterature]

I come back to this periodically as a source of comfort. Thank you for making it.

[@phoenixgfawkes]

This is amazing, it deserves a gazillion likes. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@Mafalda92]

So...I was tearing up throughout the whole video because 1. it fucking hurt seeing all of them go through pain and 2. it's fucking beautifully done and perfect. But that ending? Where Quentin goes through the doorway and comes out of the bushes? It broke me, and I started crying...and then the words at the end.... like thank you so much for this, you're amazing

[@kingquentin]

somehow i had never seen this one yet and WOW! once again i have been emotionally compromised by your videos :) the ending made me sob

[@ruounikenshin441]

Thank You, this is a work of art. Thank you

[@annakolpakova3554]

This is so wonderful!! Thank you very very much

[@RyLeeLouis]

That step. . . you have so many things that that could mean. Thank you. I needed to see this.

[@andreak.5996]

I am crying...again... rewatching this video for the 100th time and it's still brilliant !!

[@stephwiller9089]

I feel like I've commented on this before, but I've just rewatched it and I still love it. You matched the song lyrics so well with every moment. It is so emotional, it breaks my heart but I love it. God I miss Q.

[@liztaylor7663]

To all the people who are in season 5 let’s be sad together.

[@stillarobyn]

Thank you for continuing to break our hearts

[@ellecbruce8229]

the way i cried 😭😭

[@sarahrogers1092]

This is beautiful, thank you. 💕💕

[@TaunellE]

That was beautiful! 😢 So much that it made me cry. I love it. This is an incredibly special and amazing tribute. I also completely agree with the credits! They go to You.💙 Thank You. 🖤☔🕯

[@ruounikenshin441]

I'm sorry..im still desvestated..wtf..I'll never understand.

[@AUNKNOWN80]

Woooow this is just perfect

[@findingyouagain]

fuck i'm crying, but thank you so much for making this ❤️

[@user-cy6lu2xp3q]

Oh man you made me cry

[@jennabreland5261]

This is very well done.

[@luthienmpl]

TFW you can't tell if the book (I think? haven't read them yet) quote is actually going out of focus or if it's just your tears making everything blurry. ;___; GOOD JOB!! OUR CANON NOW, FUCK THEM

[@bro8317]

I found you since Take on me video and saw you turned off the comments on that one. I understand that feel of not wanting to be disturbed by negative comments in grieving Q. I love and relate to Q so much and I grieve every time I saw one of Q vids. But none has ever edited so well like you, ur choice of songs, clips. I appreciate u getting mad showrunners and keep making more Q vids. They are perfect. I had to accept Q death though. Coz I believe it was his choice and he can't afford to lose any of his friends anymore. I believe he did it to give a better world for his friends even though he know he might regret it later. He must have felt like it was his destiny since he always wanted to believe he was the hero of the story but realised he is not as strong as he thought. But, at that moment, at that moment, it was something only he could do best. It was something our beloved Q would do better than anyone - just some minor mending. I will always miss Q and see the world better even with depression coz of Q. Thanks Q for giving hope to people with broken brains like us.

[@Abandon3dRain]

I'm gonna miss Quentin in the show but I think they did pretty okay with his character, towards the end of season 4 he didn't really have much of a role going for him anymore other than you know, save elliot and that's it. I find it interesting that the book author decided to let them remove him as well from the show and they all thought things up, etc. Not many shows I've watched bother consulting the actors and the authors for their opinions to work on the story and such. I'm definitely going to checkcif my local library has the books because I want to read it and see what was different throughout the book series compared to the show :0

[@flowerpower7645]

im sad but kind of happy sad , YOUR VIDEO IS AWESOME , why cant they save quentin from the underworld ? because he doesnt need saving ? he moved on , so we should too maybe not just yet

[@kissmrule]

so love this video it s cool and sweet

[@sinnersandsapphics]

Thank you

[@blazefire8119]

Love this! Who do they think they are not letting us have queliot

[@adrianoperdon1702]

Quentin 😭😭😭😢

[@Knight69.]

You know how they say magic comes from pain? I would be a pretty good magician😭

[@grundlerrr]

Who knew that Penny biting into a cupcake was enough to make me cry? Not me.

[@clownboy2905]

I’m so ducking sad now I want to cry

[@GingerBreadSed]

THIS IS CANON

[@dumpstercub2902]

Hi this is my favorite thing

[@heatherloria1210]

This is fucking gorgeous.

[@jastinmacalino5313]

YEEESSSSS

[@tridachia]

Thanks for these videos/songs!! You are appreciated! That said, give season 5 a chance. Its not the same without Quentin, but it is really one long tribute to him and how much he meant to everyone. So meaningful (and a good couple of songs in there towards the end). Also, I am surprised you didn't do one for Quentin's rendition of Taylor Swift's Shake It Off!! Their first musical tribute....

[@AwakenedImagination]

This video was so wonderful and painfully emotional, but it did give me a little laugh at the end with the card that read “clips belong to me because fuck the showrunners” 😂

[@chelseabartlett8082]

Welp, I'm a sobbing wreck

[@mertgunes9854]

Favourite show that could've been.. so true

[@TaunellE]

Could have...

[@whyquentin]

goodnight, quentin coldwater

[@lukeleslie9545]

I like it a lot. One constructive criticism though. Work on your sound mixing. The music was loud, but the words were mostly understandable, but hard to hear. I couldn't tell if you wanted the lines from the show to be heard or not at certain points.

[@theprincessandthepie]

thanks for the feedback!

[@Sora-Tempest]

I'd really love a edit of lizard trip Elliot sing dont get me wrong... im just sayin its the best song of the series to me.

[@theprincessandthepie]

i did! just check the description of one of my song edit videos for the full set of songs :)

[@ZeilArt]

Is there any discord "The magicians" community?! ffs we need one!

[@martinnolte]

True, that's exactly what we need!

[@buriedtakethewheel2646]

"clips belong to me because fuck the showrunners" PREACH this show belongs to all of us now, sorry showrunners I don't make the rules ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@kwastek]

Would be a great clip compilation if not for the noise in the foreground. Or at least this song should have been much quieter, in the background, so the dialogues are in the foreground.
