THE FUCKING JOY ON MAGNUS’ FACE WHEN ASMODEUS GIVES HIS MAGIC BACK MAKES ME WANT TO CRY

Dream on but don’t imagine they’ll all come true...

I get this, Magnus has reached his darkest and lowest point.

But for real?! Isn’t he not even a little bit suspicious of:

-his father walking on earth?

-having so suddenly his magic back?

Like, do the math man!

This reminds me so much of Alec being blind when Magnus was in Valentine’s body.

[eg515]

what he says: You've lost great loves before. As have I. As painful as those memories may be, they are a part of who we are.

what he means: I had to live without William Owen Herondale for 140 years. Alec broke up with you literally a few hours ago. You'll be fine.

Theory time: 3x19

I have a few theories regerding this ‘erasing memories’ thing. 

1. Magnus goes to Jem to erase his memories of Alec, but Jem’s being like ‘you’re fucking stupid, this love is too strong, you don’t want to forget this, cherish those memories and that shit. 

2. Jem is hesitant but agrees, and that’s when we see this shot, maybe when Magnus is getting ready to have this memories taken. 

And either Magnus will realise himslef, that he just can’t do it, or that’s when Izzy comes in. 

I believe that Alec telling her this wasn’t without a reason. She’s gonna see how miserbale her brother is, and she won’t be able to stand it. So she goes to find Magnus, and tells him everything about the deal, maybe even about the proposal, begging him not to forget Alec, because it would break her brother completely, and deep down Magnus himself knows he can’t do it. 

And that’s when Magnus comes back to the Institute, confronts Alec about the deal, because he’s pissed of Alec went behind his back and did it without giving him any choice in a matter that’s about him. That’s when the breakdown Harry teased happens, they start screaming and crying, and we all will be crying too. But at the end, Magnus understand, that Alec thought he was doing the right thing, that he believe it would make him happy (and if Alec brings up that he thinks that Magnus could just move on from him I swear i will riot, and Magnus will too, because that’s so not true). That’s when Magnus ‘Aku Cinta Kamu’ (remember, Matt said we‘re gonna be thrilled with that scene, and this man has been dropping spoilers basically since the begining of the season and we didn’t believe him so… i believe him now)’, they explain everything and get back together. 

But what about Asmodeus? 

I’m not sure where to place the scene of him returing his magic to Magnus, but i’m pretty sure it has to happened before the memories things, because this shot look lik Magnus is trying to remove the memories himself with his magic. 

But then Asmodeus finds out that Alec has broken the deal and got back with Magnus, so he goes and drags his son to Edom with him. And maybe the ‘nice thing’ Asmodeus is supposed to do for malec is giving them time to say goodbye, or even get married (i know, it’s a lot, but there are those matching rings in Edom, so i dunno). But i feel like this will happen in 3x20, and 3x19 will end up with malec getting together. 

So Izzy, Jem,  im counting on you to do the right thing. You’re my hopes for the next ep.

This lock is me at this moment.

I love that raphael turned human and immediately started checking places off his 'nyc food porn' list I stan a man with his priorities in order

I love shadowhunters but I felt like this episode missed the mark. Of course there were good scenes in there but there are little things they could have done that would have improved it immensely or just added more depth.

When Alec was walking back into the institute they could have had Alec seem a bit distracted or upset or nervous or anxious, indicating that he just walked away from the love of his life.

When Jace leaves to go on mission and leaves Alec alone in his office they could have panned to a photo of Alec and Magnus together on his desk or have had Alec do his “Magnus sniffle.”

When they were doing the Madzie Malec flashback they could have been walking down the street and could have had Magnus and Alec a couple of steps behind Madzie having that conversation about kids. It would have allowed them to have a more open conversation and could have saved from some of the odd moments of Madzie just watching them to have that conversation.

I do love shadowhunters but a lot of these scenes today just seemed like they could have been absolutely fantastic but they just missed something.
