“There was enough hiding in life. Sometimes you just wanted to show somebody your tits.”
~ Margo, Lev Grossman
This quote is from The Magicians. I am fairly sure they are words spoken by the power Queen that is Margo (Janet in the books) Margo is a kick arse bitch and the chemistry in show between her and Eliot was at times intoxicating and completely believable. I have read since that the actress Summer Bishil has said that she didn’t have to pretend to love him when she looked at him because she did love him (her fellow actor Hale Appleman)
I bloody love this TV show. I actually think about it often. All the actors were so good and there was a throbbing eroticism to the whole thing that I think is rare to find on screen any more.
As for Margo, I want to be her and if not then I want to do bad things with her and Eliot who I think is probably the sexiest human being I have ever laid eyes on. If I ever needed confirmation of my queerness I am fairly sure wanting these two in equal measures and ideally both at the same time, is it.
