Quentin The White Protagonist? I'm Sorry What?! Huh

Quentin the white protagonist? I'm sorry what?! Huh

Okay the more I think about the writers excuse for killing Quentin off, the more enraged I get! Yes for all the reasons we've said before the fact that he's a mentally ill depressed person that he's actually the bisexual in this character that takes away from the whole white male protagonist stereotype and all that. But the thing that kills me the most isn't even in all those transgressions against our Darling by King!! It's the fact that they have never given him the respect of the white protagonist hero in the story that almost nobody else gets they've never given Quinton that. Every story of the white male protagonist has that specific role get something Quinton has been lacking in the story and from its characters since pretty much episode 1 season 1. A voice about his own choices and not being overwritten by other characters when he show something voice something or tell something that doesn't fit in their perspective of what he is or isn't.

The white male protagonist in the stories don't have to fight but a little moves that fight to other characters and the writers themselves trying 2 override or we write his choices or words in regards to himself. But Quinton on the other hand not only fights but loses constantly not only his voice but respect for his actions and his Regard in who he is not to the storyline which would be part of the story and the characters and writers right but as a person himself. From episode 1 when they have Alice disregard his triggers and worries about doing the ritual to just the season when they disregard his clearly declining mental state and suicidal actions and his sexuality. nevermind that Quentin just went through 50 years basically being married to Elliott no he's not into dudes because Elliott doesn't think he is. he's not suicidal because Penny says he's not at the end. Alice isn't a trigger for him because Margo told him he needs Alice isn't a trigger for him because Margo told him he needs to Alice isn't a trigger for him because Margo told him he needs to pussy up to do this thing that they don't even have to do together. Quentin himself pushes away pup poppy decides she's going to sleep with him to get rid of his panic attack which is rightly earned from him and his further trying to take away his voice and doesn't understand what she's doing when they bang yet pure bulshit that is basically an assault on a traumatized person by the person that traumatize them know that is never called out. Yet it if it had happened to any other character though there would have been outraged in an entire storyline just by that. it's honestly a lot more examples throughout all the seasons and pretty much every episode Q is in somebody disregards something about him that doesn't fit into the white male protagonist role they're trying to shove him into. And that in and of itself proves but he doesn't fit into it because of nothing else that's true in all of the stories that center around the white male protagonist is that they get autonomy over there own characteristics.

Excuse any mistakes I writing this on my crappy phone at work and the talk to text feature hates me!

The way Jon so desperately does NOT want to be king– has not and will never want that role, but the people who claim to be his “biggest fans” keep rooting for it. Jon sitting on a throne alone in King’s Landing, in charge of a kingdom destroyed from the winter is the most miserable ending possible for his character.

You know what I wish? Since the showrunners of The Magicians do not know what to do with Quentin? And clearly the million of amazing fanfic writers out there do? I wish we could find a way to raise a ton of money, the money they raised to get the rights for the books  and go to them and say ‘he meant the world to us. You don’t want him anymore? That’s fine. We’ll buy him from you. Hell we’ll buy ALL of them. if you don’t care about your show and your characters, WE do. So let us have them and let us tell the stories we can tell’. Yes I know there is always fanfic but…I don’t think these irresponsible people should be able to write these characters because they do not get them. They barely even knew what they were writing! The disconnect between the story they had in their heads and the story they were telling was huge…I know it’s something that could never happen…

This is called passive suicidal ideation, I know this because I live with both passive and active suicidal ideation. And it’s clear that Q did too…this is wrong on so many levels to portray this to the kind of audience The Magicians lured in over the past 4 seasons.

I don’t understand the sudden change of opinion some people are having with Daenerys just in the span of one episode. Her actions did not seem out of line to me, and in fact she is being infinitely more tolerable and cooperative with abrasive northerners than any other outsider would be willing. Her army and her CHILDREN will be the main forces against the undead and all she is expecting in return is basic respect as a queen. As she said about Sansa, she doesn’t need to like her, she just needs to respect her. The northerners have their reasons for being wary of outside rulers, but they are frustratingly dense about the situation they’re in, and their foolishness will leave many of them dead since Winterfell is the first target on the Night King’s path. It’s unfortunate but I think it will take actually experiencing the undead army for them to have a change of heart about Daenerys’ aid.

This is how I deal with my pain
