#he’s just so fucking perfect

[im-out-of-it]

part 12 of season 2, episode 19 continued “hail and farewell” MAGNUS EXPRESSIONS

160. Magnus is the fucking mood (reposting the first one because just look at him) (mundanes can’t get out of their way = Magnus: you would know)

161. ISNT HE FUCKING PERFECT

162. Magnus rubbing Catarinas shoulder after a bad day at the hospital. “mundanes can’t get out of their own way” I LOVE HER and you know Catarina is just over all of this with a drink in her hand (posted below)

163. I’m sorry but he’s just perfect. and I like that he seems to be wearing more eye shadow. one thing I miss from season one Magnus is his expressive makeup and changing up his style frequently. I don’t feel we get much of that after season one

164. maybe it’s the lighting that makes Magnus extra perfect

165. it’s not as though he doesn’t get to change his style up but it feels (to me) more iconic and memorable in season one than in any other season. this look reminds me of his military style looks in season one which I’m a huge fan of. Harry really pulls it off exceptionally well

166. Magnus: ah, shifting yes let’s use that word

167. I love Catarina so much. she’s like a war? good thing I have my battling shoes on lmaooo

I know I spoke of ragnor on the last one but there really wasn’t a need to remove any of Magnus’s friends. Alec constantly has Izzy jace clary around even though Izzy is the only one there for him so why couldn’t Magnus be surrounded more by his own warlocks and friends?????? I don’t know why it bothers me but it does

168. jonathon: why can’t I fucking have that I guess playing with swords and death is more enjoyable

169. warlocks are back!!!!! Catarina needing a drink asap

170. aw look at this father and son duo

171. Jonathon: you have spies?????

172. it’s funny the circle is being mentioned since it hasn’t been talked about since basically season one

173. the person who erected portals around the city would be yours truly, magnus bane. wouldn’t Magnus know that some warlock out there is trying to make a portal????? Magnus isn’t dumb and he knows that Valentine is going to use some warlock to do his bidding

174. it’s actually funny how well of a speaker valentine is. he doesn’t get enough credit because where he convinced clary and jace they are siblings so they won’t fight him, he also convinced jonathon not to kill him- someone who has every right to want valentine dead. almost everytime he talks himself out of death. it’s miraculous how often he pulls this off

175. the wolves are coming!!!!!

176. Simon: but the Queen is a child wtf

177. no offense to the actress but the child actress has to be the best version of the Queen. she’s so calculated without putting any effort in. though I do still like this version of her but she’s probably the second best version of the Queen (maybe)

178. I low-key agree with the Queen. because there definitely needs to be actual change. I’m not saying they should have an all out war but things shouldn’t be the same where downworld doesn’t have a voice and shadowhunters can murder and treat them as less them no matter what

179. Simon: reject reject reject I could do this all day

180. Simon better be careful trying to upset the Queen because next thing you’ll know is that she kidnaps your girlfriend and then you agree to some mark of Cain on your forehead. you can’t win when you’re just a little regular vampire vs someone who’s been alive for many centuries and has been through way more

181. Maia and Luke investigating scenes

182. that means y’all can’t go anywhere

183. this line is funny from Maia and adding the second one to fit

184. easy for jace to say. it’s a lot different when you’re in charge. Alec has valentine out there and unable to really do anything about it. the fate of shadowhunters in New York rests on his hands. he also needs to protect his own people so it’s not like it’s easy for Alec to shut off those negative thoughts. and who’s job is going to be on the line if valentine succeeds? ALEC. because he always has to pay for everything

185. I get Jace is trying to be supportive but the way he says this always irritates me. Alec is in a different position than jace. Jace let valentine go in the past and was rewarded with a promotion once they found out he was a precious herondale but alec does his best and still gets blamed for other people’s actions

186. please don’t let this or the next part be the rune scene with clace because I can’t handle that today

187. clary: I forgot that I have super cool powers

188. Jonathon: omg our trip has come to an end

189. I do feel for jonathon because all he wanted was a father and he never got that. it was always what Valentine desired to have and he never once thought of what his children needed and wanted (still don’t forgive him for killing max) he’s never had a chance to ever have it good because he’s only been taught by Lilith and valentine how to be evil

I might be able to get another part in but it’s that fucking rune scene which I’m not going to spend much time on. I tried to save a gif but my hand wouldn’t let me lmao see y’all soon, I need an Advil

who is your favorite AA character? 👁️👁️

ziska… I hope capcom brings her back someday

[vaguely-concerned]

the strength it must have taken for illario to not immediately go full 'lmao since when have you even had a kiss hello lucanis' sibling violence mode during the café talk. inspirational. rook and lucanis really were doing all that right in front of his salad huh

[not-equippedforthis]

forever mourning how granada holmes never adapted the three garridebs. diabolical. unbelievable, even. 'if you had killed watson you would not have made it out of this room alive' but in brett's frightfully intense and low, biting, hissing voice. the violent, wild stare versus the gentle hand on watson's knee. all of that precarious control getting flung out the window. the humanity of it. gritting my teeth can you fucking imagine.

[pidgydraws]

IMO

i could watch him draw dicks in the sand, bully teenagers and catch fish he can´t even eat forever, he´s like a little kid its killing me

Guardianship au,,,,,save me guardianship au,,,,,,,

If you don’t mind the questions, how’d the Tortuga gang react to Chris tagging along? I assume they understood Chris would be joining them early on into Martin being accepted, but I imagine the situation was more like. Martin snagging a new job on the Tortuga >> realizing he can’t take this job and leave his brother alone >> Chris says don’t worry just take me with you >> Martin nervously asking heyyyyyyyy is it cool if my little brother comes with?

Obviously everyone had to be cool with it eventually, but do you know what Aviva, Koki, and Jimmy had going through their heads when a mildly emo, 14yo Chris rolled in with a deeply anxiety-ridden Martin?

This is kinda the awkward phase of the team's relationship where they know Martin is struggling, but he's not willing to let them help just yet.

The second Chris finds out about the Tortuga it becomes his life-mission to convince Martin to let him go on the trip (it will not be difficult at all to convince him)

Martin is just hesitant because he wants to make sure he's not being selfish in his decision to join the team. Of course Chris wants to go too, but Martin is trying to think of his best interest.

Of course, he eventually realizes that the team genuinely cares about them and he's willing to let them help out with Chris, and then the found-family can commence!!!

Constantly plagued with thoughts of Edwin now knowing he enjoys being courted and Charles (compulsive charmer) with a whole new arsenal up his sleeve (laser focus on Monty’s whole deal)

“I mean, my smile is prett-y convincing” yeah yeah okay I can see where this is heading. Outlook not so good (for me)

[vaguely-concerned]

thinking about not only the specific people lucanis pulls in to represent the 'locks' in his psyche, but the storytelling that happens in the structure/order of them. the underlying ideas are presented something like:

the lucanis who went into the ossuary never came back out again; he died down there (the boy caterina raised is gone forever) -> you're putting yourself in danger doing this (by being close to me), you should leave because I can't bear it if you get hurt because of me -> it doesn't matter even if we do try this, it won't work anyway (again because of me) ('you know what he's like, you can open the door but he won't walk through it' :'( oofie doofie) -> what if the real secret is that there was never anything but the monster in here from the beginning. you should leave, there was never anything here worth saving in the first place. (implicitly: what if I deserved what happened, all along.)

it runs pretty cleanly from outward-oriented attachment anxiety ('caterina won't even want me back like this, she won't recognize me (the same way I no longer recognize myself)) and gradually deeper inwards until we reach self-image and self worth. or you know, the harrowing basic lack of it lol.

"careful -- they'll know we're not right," spite says in one of their first scenes... but clearly, some very deep part of lucanis has feared or suspected for much longer than that that there's something inherently not right at the core of him, way before any demon entered the picture. and the voice he gives those lines to is the person who should know him better than anyone in the world, who he has loved more than anyone in the world -- and who deliberately chose to hurt him so horrifically anyway. 'It's better if I'm just a monster and deserved what happened than it is to allow for the idea that the brother I love doesn't really exist and maybe never did'. it's better if he's fundamentally flawed in some way that needed fixing to help him survive, and that's why caterina chose to hurt him again and again -- out of love. (this one I think he might have a very sad wakeup call on one day if he ever ends up with the responsibility and care of a child of his own in some way and realizes just how alien the idea of ever intentionally hurting them for any reason is to him. oh buddy. also interesting that he keeps caterina as the outermost lock -- there IS a distance he keeps there that he hasn't with illario. he doesn't resent her 'anymore' he says, but he also keeps her carefully further away from his deepest self.)

as far as I could tell the only note in the mind prison that's fully hidden and needs to be uncovered is the sad painful helpless stupid little truth that even after all this, even knowing what happened... he still loves his brother. is there anything illario could ever do that would make lucanis completely stop loving him, do you think? sometimes the trouble with unconditional love is that it is, well. unconditional, even when some terms and conditions probably would have been in order haha.

that's the pattern you see there again and again; he would rather destroy and abandon and imprison himself at every turn than let go of love, even when it's just scraps, even when there's only ever enough of it to hurt him. it's only when rook shows up and as it were takes his hand and walks along with him that he can entertain the idea of changing the story of what walking out the door might mean in the end.
