Hey love! I’m thinking about making a Magnus blog. Do you have any advice on writing him?
✧・゚:* GOT A QUESTION? ╱ OPEN.
HI ANON !! I’M NOT SURE IF I’M THE BEST PERSON to be asking about this , but i have admittedly been writing magnus for a while so i would be happy to give you some tips !! first of all , this isn’t exactly writing advice but i have an obligation to remind you to please try and avoid whitewashing your icons !! i’ve seen a lot of magnus rpers do it over the years and still see it from time to time . there are a ton of free psds that are poc friendly out there and if you’re having trouble finding them , please feel free to come to me and i’ll help you out with that !!
secondly , know your languages . magnus was born in java , but the main spoken language among locals in jakarta / batavia has never been javanese . the ethnic group in the area is the betawi people , who are descended from the people who inhabited batavia from the 17th century onwards , and their main language is malay / bahasa malaysia . bahasa indonesia / indonesian is actually a standardised register of malay !! so you’re totally allowed to write magnus without any mention of his mother tongue but if you would like to explore it then your best bet would be bahasa indonesia or bahasa malaysia ( the novels establish indonesian as the language of the maternal side of his family , but i think the show has a little more breathing room ) . i actually mentioned it in a post i made a while back , but malay , ‘ the italian of the east , ’ was deemed easy to learn by the dutch settlers and very useful as an intermediary for trade and communication with the local people . learning malay was also a necessity given their small numbers in the indonesian archipelago : by 1795 there were no more than 543 dutchmen living in batavia . so , you know . there’s a big chance magnus’ stepfather spoke at least some bahasa malaysia too !!
other than that , i really just encourage you to explore his character the way you see fit . don’t let any lingering show / book divide dictate how you portray him !! magnus bane is an exceptionally multi - dimensional character with centuries of untapped adventures and formative experiences , and you shouldn’t be afraid to allow that to shape the way you write him . by the time he was sixteen years old , he was lying about his age to impress clients . can you imagine how hard he must have worked to get where he was in that amount of time ?? there was never a safety net for him , no second chances . he was pushing himself to no end while other kids were having regular childhoods that he should have been experiencing , too . reading , learning , working at controlling his volatile magic , and being desperate to get his hands on as much knowledge as possible .
we’re all familiar with the flamboyant , decadent high warlock of brooklyn , but you can’t forget that he also has a completely different person in him . the one who is angry , the one who is intense , the one who will claw his way to success && refuse to let anyone stop him . he’s brave and charming and cunning and has a tendency to be a rather morally grey person , swayed only by a pretty face or the end of the world ( let’s not forget the fact that the only reason he agreed to help smuggle marie antoinette was because of axel von fersen’s pretty blue eyes && black hair , or that he was entirely unwilling to help clary , a girl he’d known for years , until she helped his people in the television series ) … and of course , somewhere deep down , he can also be extraordinarily selfless . every magnus i’ve seen and spoken to has a wonderfully original take on him , whether they are show , book , or headcanon influenced ( or even a blend of everything !! ) , and i can’t wait to see where you take him .

are there any languages besides english in which you think you could comfortably roleplay?
✧・゚:* ROLEPLAYING HABITS ╱ OPEN !!
2. ARE THERE ANY LANGUAGES BESIDES ENGLISH IN WHICH YOU THINK YOU COULD COMFORTABLY ROLEPLAY: gosh , i don’t think so , to be honest !! i’m okay with bahasa indonesia / malaysia , but even then i usually have to ask my mum for help and i wouldn’t want her to have to check my rp replies of all things ; not to mention that i doubt anyone else ( in the shadowhunters rpc , at least ) speaks the language !! i can usually write basic phrases in italian and french , which is helpful with magnus , but i think i would be doing a disservice to any other language by trying to rp in it !!

✧・゚:* LET ME RAMBLE ABOUT MYSELF ╱ OPEN !!
1. THE MEANING BEHIND MY URL: first of all , i need to acknowledge that my love aka nik gifted it to me !! i think it’s pretty obvious but magnvs = magnus . 2. A PICTURE OF ME: click here and here for some recent pics !! 3. TATTOOS I HAVE: i actually don’t have any !! i’d love to get one someday though , mostly because my mum is super against them and i’m that kind of rebel bitch . sometimes . 4. LAST TIME I CRIED && WHY: my grandmother has been visiting for three months and i’m basically the family disappointment so she fought with me right after new year which is Always Fun lmao . 5. PIERCINGS I HAVE: just one regular ear piercing ; i’d love to maybe get a septum piercing too but i think it would annoy me if it was permanent . 6. FAVOURITE BAND: daughter !! i saw them live for my birthday in 2016 and it was amazing , they sound even better in person than on cd imo .
↪ thank you, @andtragedy !!

16 and 17 !!
✧・゚:* LET ME RAMBLE ABOUT MYSELF ╱ OPEN !!
16. FAVOURITE MOVIE: i’m going to majorly cop out here && say that i have three favourite films !! moulin rouge ( 2001 ) , kill your darlings ( 2013 ) , and anastasia ( 1997 ) . clearly , historical artsy films and musicals are my two weaknesses . 17. A FACT ABOUT MY LIFE: i love horse riding !! i took lessons for about three years , and also volunteered to help out with the horses at the disabled riding school near my house . i stopped both when i injured my hip a while ago and didn’t have the time to get back in the saddle ( ha ) during my later years of high school , but i want to get back into it within the next year if i can !!
↪ thank you, @inwudu !!

16. DO YOU FIRST GET IN THE ZONE WHEN WRITING, OR DO YOU START WRITING AND ENTER IT THAT WAY: it often ends up being the latter . sometimes i’ll put on music or shadowhunters in the background , but i don’t think that affects my�� muse because i’ll either be ready to write or not in the mood ; there isn’t much way around it if not !! it’s probably why there are times when i’ll be happily spouting replies left and right , and times when there’s complete radio silence on my end . lately , it’s mostly because i’ve been busy , but another factor is that i can’t force the little magnus in my head to help me out if he doesn’t want to !!
↪ thank you, @idumean !!

if you are writing a wrong reply that’s not working out, do you save what you have to be continued at another date, or do you scrap it and rewrite? / can’t sleep deal with me bugging you with these pls

20. IF YOU’RE WRITING A REPLY THAT’S NOT WORKING OUT, DO YOU SAVE WHAT YOU HAVE TO BE CONTINUED OR DO YOU SCRAP IT: usually i just delete what i don’t like about the response && either rewrite from there or come back to it another day , but once in a while i’ll have to kill my darlings and come at the response from an entirely new angle to try and make it work !!

✧・゚:* WANT TO SEE OUR THREADS IN BAHASA MALAYSIA? ╱ OPEN.
ORIGINAL ( THREAD HERE ).
THERE IS NO DENYING THAT A WELL-TAILORED SUIT has made Merlin Wyllt look like a different man ; he looks as if he was BORN for this , but Magnus can’t help but to acknowledge his uncertainty regarding the sight of the other blending in with the pretentious bigots of his own class . For now , however , he allows himself to simply LOOK as he completes the remainder of his journey , fingertips ghosting over the railing to keep himself steady ( he’s certain that if it had not been for the steady presence at his side , he would have lost his footing the moment he had laid eyes on his guest ) . It’s when he comes to a halt a few steps above the other that Magnus finally sees the details : the gleam of what seems to be a blend of anticipation and hesitance in his eyes , his high && cutting cheekbones , his lips devastatingly plush beneath the generous lighting … a fit subject for the pleasant songs of youthful poets to acquaint the world with .
He looks otherworldly , possessing a striking kind of beauty that the wonders of which mortals will never quite be satisfied with ; almost as if he doesn’t belong somewhere as drearily ordinary as Earth , but Magnus surmises with unyielding belief that it would hardly surprise him to see such a face residing among the angels in the Heavens above . ❝ You’re full of SURPRISES , aren’t you , Mr . Wyllt ?? ❞ He observes in lieu of a proper greeting , amusement playing blatantly across his features as he reaches out with the hand not currently resting atop the banister in order to reach out && smooth down the lapel of the other’s jacket . Even after he has completed his task , however , Magnus lingers , brown eyes meeting with blue as Merlin’s heart continues to beat beneath his palm in striking synchronicity with his own . It’s only after a moment that he can bring himself to speak once more , unwilling to be the one to divert his gaze . ❝ Not that I’m complaining , of course . The suit becomes you . ❞
TRANSLATION ( BAHASA MALAYSIA ).
MEMANG TIDAK BOLEH DINAFIKAN bila Merlin Wyllt pakai saman kemas dia nampak lain ; dia agar LAHIR didunia untuk ini , tetapi Magnus tidak pasti kalau dia boleh bersama orang - orang bangsawan kelas megah sendiri . Untuk masa kini , dia akan benarkan dirinya PANDANG sahaja sementara dia selesaikan perjalanan secara mantap ( dia pasti bahawa kalau bukan untuk kehadiran mantap di sebelahnya dia akan kehilangan kedudukannya ketika dia menatap tetamunya ) . Ketika dia berhenti beberapa langkah di atas barulah Magnus akhirnya melihat buktiran : sinar yang seolah - olah menjadi gabungan jangkaan dan ragu - ragu di matanya , tulang pipi tinggi , bibirnya dahsyat mewah di bawah pancaran cahaya yang kuat … subjek yang sesuai untuk lagu - lagu penakluk muda di dunia .
Dia semata mata dari dunia asing , memiliki keindahan dan keajaiban yang luar biasa di mana manusia pasti tidak berpuas hati ; hampir seolah - olah dia tidak sesuai berada di Bumi yang agak biasa , tetapi Magnus percaya yang dia patut bersinggah di antara para malaikat di syurga . ❝ Anda penuh dengan KEJUTAN , bukan , Encik . Wyllt ?? ❞ Dia hanya memerhati sebagai gantian ucapan , ketika tangan dia menjangkau && meluncurkan jaket dia . Walaupun selepas dia menyelesaikan tugasnya , namun , Magnus menunggu , mata coklat bertemu dengan warna biru sambil jantung Merlin terus memukul di bawah telapak tangannya dengan menindas sinchronicity dengan sendiri . Hanya selepas dia boleh bertutur sekali lagi , tidak mahu mengalihkan pandangannya . ❝ Bukannya saya mengadu , tentu saja . Saman ini menjadi anda . ❞
