Fillory is calling! This week’s Fan Art Friday is dedicated to The Magicians, the beloved TV series inspired by Lev Grossman’s novels. From Brakebills classrooms to spell-casting chaos, complex friendships, and worlds that refuse to stay neatly separated, The Magicians has inspired artists to explore magic that’s messy, emotional, and deeply human. We’re showcasing fan art that captures the heart, humor, and heartbreak of the series. “Did I do something brave to save my friends, or did I finally find a way to kill myself?” — Quentin Coldwater “Life is basically a solo sport. But sometimes you need a team.” — Eliot Waugh Whether you fell in love with the characters, the worlds, or the beautifully broken way magic works, the fandom continues to keep The Magicians alive through art. Thank you to everyone sharing their passion, creativity, and love for this series because magic may not fix everything, but art helps us feel it all. Explore previous editions in our Fan Art

We recently launched Messages, and now it's your turn to join in on the fun. The absolute best part of an online community is gabbing with friends old and new across the world.  In the middle of the night, those geographically close can't always crash out with you about the finale of a show that just dropped.

Start it! Create a new chat or channel with a handful of deviants and start yapping. Looking for ideas on who to invite?  Deviants who submit to your favorite Group Your ride-or-die squad Your favorite creators Your biggest fans A group of people you'd like to mentor Enjoyers of a common fandom Remember: Messages has a Requests tab, so you won't be inserted into a Group Chat or channel without your acceptance.
