Just a Face and a Caption: Magic Librarian

Textbook case of JAFAAC. Little to no indication in the image that he's magical or a librarian, save for the photoshopped Magic The Gathering labels that's saying "Look! He's a great example! Really!"

We have a nice collection in Image Links showing a whole bunch of magical librarians being all supernatural and librarian-y. Couldn't we use one of them instead?

I rather like the three below from Image Links:

Phyrexian Librarian◊

The Unseen University Librarian◊

This Ghost Librarian

The ghost librarian is the only one I prefer over the one up there now. People who don't know Discworld will just see an ape with a boo in the Unseen University one, and the other one is hard to see. A ghost looks magical, and the background looks like a library.

I like the ghost one too, for the reasons Animeg stated.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

I kinda prefer Patchouli. [1]◊, [2]◊.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

I'm not familiar with Touhou, and the second image to me looks like some girl who happened to be in a library when something magical happened. The first image is better, but I think the ghost librarian would be best.

please don't capitalize my handle. I just don't like it.

And the ghost is just pulling books out of a bookshelf which looks more like a private home than a library.

Though if she just happened to be there, why is she levitating? I also think it's clear she's the one casting the spell, by the way she's holding the book and her other arm.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

I'm not where I can GIS right now, but there have to be some decent pics of Lucien that would work for this.

This picture◊ of Twilight Sparkle isn't too bad either.

I support the pic in post 4.

I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!

Post #4 is the best by far.

"@[=g3,8d]&fbb=-q]/hk%fg"

The link doesn't work.

Changed my mind and throwing my vote to #4 as well.

It works for me.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Sorry Twilight. Post 4 for me.

Always hiding my keys in the bug bucket, you bastard dog.

A couple more votes for #4 and we can run with it.

Post 4 looks great to me.

Reaction Image Repository

I like post 4.

Image is up and tagged, with a variant of Rodney's caption for now.

Is that a book/short story/??? I'd say pothole the pic to the work and just leave the caption as "Image courtesy of [artist link]".

P3 P4 P5 P6 P7 P8 P9 P10◊

Might be adding more.

(To make links work nicely, do [[imageURL display text]].)

1 and 2 don't show the "magical" very well; it's small and blends in. I can't see a library in 4. 3 and 5 are okay, but I much prefer the ghost librarian.

@Willbyr: I've potholed it like normal now.

Looks good; locking up.
