Eliot is so amazing and odd, though?? Like?? Literal list of things Eliot Waugh has done
Loves making food because it’s a concrete result to his action. It’s something he made and he can see the direct results of his actions and he finds this really pleasant.
As a result of that, he throws awesome dinner parties for his friends like. a lot. and he’s meticulous about it.
Buys either really old Mongolian spellbooks or really old Mongolian erotica?? We just don’t know??
When his people are under threat, he starts off like “I’m gonna kill them!” And then amends his own throughts bc no, he doesn’t want to kill them, just “mess them up real good.” Literally that’s a quote.
Thinks of Quentin as the family he needed all along to become who he supposed to be.
He realized that just bc he doesn’t need his bio family, he can still have people he adores and who adores him and he finds that in Quentin’s friendship!!
.Literally becomes a hero and does a bunch of amazing deeds in hopes that the gods will let him see his best friend again
Is a natural savant at magic, but comes out average-good most of the time, bc he’s lazy af.
Formats an emergency letter like a telegram in all caps with STOP every other sentence
He 100% did not have to do that and signed the telegram with KISS.
Is p. sure faeries do everything “for the lulz”
Adheres very flawlessly and considerately to Fillorian etiquette bc he respects them a lot
Quotes Tennyson before grand adventures
Says things like “dot in the shark” and “the thick plottens”
Survived living with a nasty, homophobic family, cut them off and found new people
Thought of bringing something cool back for the Dean of his school when he went to a literal fantasy world
Takes care of other people, even when he’s falling apart inside
Falls into alcoholism and depression, but also recovers
Actually SUPER GOOD AT BATTLE MAGIC when he wants to be
Super involved ruler who gives every bit of love his subjects give to him back to them
Sobs when his bff is almost gone forever
Is a natural leader always
just wants to be needed
Believes people have a guiding truth that he calls “The point of them”
It’s always something rlly flattering
Like Josh’s is his big heart
Quentin’s is the way he can truly passionately love something in ways most are too jaded to
He thinks that when ppl are misunderstood, ppl just don’t get the point of the person a lot of the time
Is so cool, the multiverse keeps his life in two volumes
A big thank you to Lev Grossman for giving us Eliot Waugh in print, SyFy network for giving us Eliot Waugh on screen, and finally to Hale Appleman for bringing Eliot Waugh’s character so perfectly and gut-wrenchingly to life. I am so down for more queer characters being represented on CABLE TV as multi-faceted, emotional, real & imperfect human beings. He is such an important character!!!
anyone else thinks Eliot might be under the influence of a love potion/spell?!??? …
I mean it MIGHT be a legit thing but … just a thought. Obviously I think Eliot is perfectly capable of being in love (and I think he wants to love and be loved in return) but I don’t think this desperate pining (and letting everyone see bcs I think he’d try to hide that) goes along w his character.
i actually think u might have something here bc speaking soley on what ive seen in the show him throwing the word boyfriend out there so soon seems, just, not like him at all, even going to far as to leave margo seemed unlike him, either that or hes trying really hard to fill some kinda void all of a sudden for whatever reason, but either way i feel like this is going to lead to relationships getting compromised bc eliot cant see/wont admit that mike is the/a beast and im just not ready for any of this
So basically … to sum this up … this will get painful, SUPER PAINFUL. We better start buying blankets and pillows so we can build a “suffer fort” after all of this happens. Because seeing Eliot sad will be the end of us.
the suffer fort doesnt sound like a bad idea tbqh bc this next episode is gonna hurt me
Episode 8 is supposed to be really big for Eliot. And I’m really, really scared. Then there’s all the other drama. Idk my heart will handle it.
PRAYER CIRCLE FOR ELIOT WAUGH. OUR SON AND KING. OUR SOFTEST AND MOST GENTLE CREATURE.
u guys are weak and natural selection is coming for you
ur right but im probably already dead
but seriously, the episode is titled The Strangled Heart, like of course were gonna be crying for at least 2 ships caught in a storm
that pancake post reminded me of something else too actually somebody remind me later to tell you guys about my favorite UFO sighting story
ok so here we go
Meet Joe Simonton.
Now this man right here lived in Eagle River, Wisconsin in 1961 and was just mindin’ his own business like any Wisconsin dweller in the late morning when, according to his statement, a casual, giant fucking UFO landed in his backyard. Stay with me here, aight, because not only did he claim aircraft touched down in his humble little lawn, but apparently a bunch of little dudes got out to ask (telepathically) for water. Bear with me here, ok, because according to him when he came back outside with a thing of water there were a bunch more aliens chilling outside of the ship…
…making pancakes.
As most aliens do upon making contact with other civilizations, truly.
So apparently they give Joe 3 of these pancake things in exchange for the water and take off because why the fuck would they hang around
and of course in the name of science Joe eats one and claims it tasted like cardboard but anYwAyS
So he takes the pancakes to the authorities to analyze and they find that they are in fact made of flour and grease and yada yada yada so they naturally assume this guy just fried up some pancakes and brought them in BUT
What they can’t explain is the fact that there were actually signs of some form of large object having taken off from Joe’s lawn.
And I can’t get over the fact that somewhere out there in a government handbook there is a section under Project Bluebook that some poor person had to sit and painstakingly write out in great detail that a man supposedly received pancakes from extraterrestrials
In my mind Quentin would be the first one to fall asleep and of course Eliot (who is basically hearteyes emoji for Q at all times) can’t even contain his feelings because seeing Quentin sleeping, all calm and smiling, is basically the only thing he needs to see before falling asleep himself. It’s almost addictive, seeing Quentin being cozy and peaceful.
My point is, whether it’s in bed or just falling asleep while reading a spellbook, Eliot always makes sure Q is safe and warm and he always throws a blanket over his boyfriend.
if deadpool gets a bf in the sequel i want someone to say “wait… i thought you were straight!!” and deadpool’s just like “hoo boy, someone obviously hasn’t read my comics” while staring at the camera
