[p-taryn-dactyl]

look, this might be a cry into the void but are there any shadowhunter (TV) fans out there?? my obsession has returned and none of my irl friends have caved under my not-so-relentless pressure to watch it

(and i really want to write for it)

[helenofblackthorns]

clace incest era obviously sucks but I do appreciate how literally all their friends are weirdly okay with it. like idk it's fun. anyone else would be raising multiple moral objections but not Simon, Alec, and Izzy! they're the og ride or die friends because this was somehow not a deal breaker. they at most joke about it after the fact, friendship goals ig

[im-out-of-it]

honestly the only thing appealing about shadowhunters show is

1. our fav sassy gay, leader, husband, father, friend, brother, activist (I mean??????) icon

2. MAGNUS MOTHERFUCKING LIGHTWOOD BANE OUR FAV BI LEADER COMICAL FASHIONABLE KIND HONEST WONDERFUL KING (I ran out of adjectives)

3. IZZY RAPHAEL SIMON MAIA (I’m sorry I got tired of describing but I love them all so much, they’re dear to me, truly but IM TIRED)

(personally I’m a fan of the glasses)

(girl deserved better but I’m so glad she got made a leader)

AND MY STUPID BISEXUAL ASS LOVES IT

not the clary and jace shit BUT SO MANY GORGEOUS WOMEN AND MEN AND MOST IMPORTANTLY

come on y’all knew where this was going

I’m enduring for show malec 😭

loved your post defending clary but what is your opinion on jace??? i feel like he's equally controversial

you know how sometimes rereading books a few years later changes your opinion on certain characters entirely bc instead of being some older hot brooding hero they're now just some kid in your eyes. that's me with jace right now

in fact you may have asked his at the perfect moment because i had a whole breakdown about this last night in the group chat last night i feel like this text sums it up quite well

he has 2 to 6 parents depending on how you look at it and for at least 17 years none of them ever loved him. he was fully prepared to go back to his cartoonishly evil kidapper dad who physically abused him bc at least there he felt wanted. he just wanted maryse to read him a bedtime story when he was 10 like she did for alec and isabelle. she never did. he just wants to be loved so so desperately. he can be genuinely hilarious and charming but now i'm looking back on it, it mostly reads like that too is just a way he taught himself to get the attention he wants so desperately. it's implied that he's been suicidal/has engaged in acts of self-harm since he arrived with the lightwoods when he was literally 10.

i think most people (me included!!) just remember him as a sarcastic rude asshole which to be fair is very much who he is HOWEVER every single time we get jace pov he reveals another 5 reasons why he's actually kind of valid in his assholery. this boy is playing DSM-5 bingo and babes his card is FULL and it's literally so upsetting to read. he's just a very sad kid and i'm literally on my way to nyc adoption papers in hand

Crackish Wednesday prompt for you- honeypot Magnus where the warlocks decide they need an in with the shadowhunters after the seelies have Izzy. Where Magnus meets Alec and goes 'this is a sacrifice I have to make! I'm going to honeypot him so hard I'll bring him home' (Cat: Isn't that just called dating?) Maybe other warlocks going 'wait we can do that?' - and turns out that Alec and people are not stupid but are very weak to powerful competent people acknowledging their own competence, taking an interest in them, and generally caring for their people!

this was a little fun but also a little more serious in parts because it didn't quite follow the prompt entirely, i hope you enjoy though

--

“Magnus,” Ragnor says with a sigh. “You don’t have to do this.”

Magnus takes a sip of his drink and smiles, dark and delighted, “what makes you think it’s a sacrifice.”

“Oh?” Ragnor asks curiously, leaning forward. 

“I’ve met an absolute darling of a nephilim .” And Magnus looks pleased, absolutely delighted with himself. “I’m quite willing to fulfill the Council’s request, I simply plan on doing it thoroughly. A bit of a leisure mission, if you will.”

Cat snorts from where she’s been drinking beer and letting Ragnor say his piece first.

“You just want to date him.” She says with a laugh, with good reason from what Ragnor can tell.

Magnus rolls his eyes and smirks. 

“The Council wishes to have as much as an in with shadowhunters as the seelies do, with several of their scouts tangling with the young Ms. Lightwood.”

“And?” Ragnor asks when Magnus trails off, smirking into the distance. 

“Well, her older brother happens to be equally lovely, if not more so.” Magnus shrugs, “and while the Council is hoping for a little quid pro quo and subterfuge, I think I’m up for something a little more.”

“Like?” Ragnor asks, feeling like a director prompting a scene. He would know, he tried out playwriting for a bit, but Shakespeare was the better author and Ragnor the better director. 

“Well, the Council can’t complain about something more permanent than what the seelies enjoy.” And Magnus’ grin is dark and devilish, a shade of his father peeking through. “I think I’ll make him mine, completely.”

“Oh, and how is that going to work?” Cat asks, intrigued despite herself.

“Well, we are about to have our fifth date.” Magnus says casually, like the cruel bastard he is. Right when Ragnor and Cat are both taking sips of their drinks.

Cat manages to save herself but Ragnor finds himself with the — unfortunately around Magnus — familiar pain of hot tea in his nose. 

Magnus cackles like the lovable asshole he’s always been as Ragnor huffs and takes the handkerchief offered him with a scowl.

“The council only suggested this idea a few weeks ago, how did you manage this so fast?”

And Magnus watches them for a moment before he smiles, something soft and delighted and covetous. 

“We’ve actually been going out for two months, however outings are hard when one is a nephilim commander and the other, myself.”

Magnus laughs at their faces, “I told him all about the Council’s request and he’s very happy to be honeypotted, as long as I keep him in the end.” 

“How exactly do you get yourself into these situations?” Ragnor asks despairingly, “just how, ducky?”

“My natural talent.” Magnus says dryly and he refills all of their glasses with hot toddy’s. Which is lovely, but suspicious. Ragnor would rather not submit himself to the burning of hot alcohol.

He sets his cup down and notes how Magnus looks disappointed. 

“You know the Council is going to be upset about this.”

“Well, then they shouldn’t have tried to treat me like I was a sex worker available at their leisure then,” Magnus murmurs bitterly. “Which would be fine, if I had ever offered them such a service.”

“What do you mean?” Cat asks, her voice like ice and Ragnor is glad she asks, because he can’t with the inferno of rage rising in him. 

Magnus looks a bit abashed, like he hadn’t meant to say it out loud. Which means it’s something important.

Finally, Magnus sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose. “Several of the other Council members suggested it fall to me, because between my reputation and tastes, it wouldn’t be so suspicious. Also because they felt that it would affect me less, since my tastes are so vivid and frequent, I would bounce back easier since I’m hardly going to get attached.”

It’s rare, Ragnor thinks, for their own kind to be so blinded by rumors and reputations that they misstep so poorly. However it does happen, especially when Magnus lets the rumors grow and old age can muddle the sensibility of even the wisest of warlocks.

“Oh, fuck them.” Cat says, an icy smirk on her face. “You woo your shadowhunter and you keep him and you tell the Council fuck you when they ask.”

“Now Cat,” Ragnor says chidingly, because he’s a bit disappointed in her. “That’s hardly the right response. Have some imagination.” And Ragnor’s eyes crinkle as he smiles, full of malice and teeth. “Clearly, we should simply replace the Council.”

“No!” 

 Ragnor huffs as they both say it at the same time, with alarm.

“Dearest cabbage, the last time you insisted we replace the Council for their insults it took over a hundred years. I’m still on the blasted thing because of it!” Magnus says with a scowl and Ragnor will admit, Magnus being on the Council is his fault. 

“Bloody nuisances, the whole lot of them.” Ragnor mutters sulkily into his tea. 

“Something a bit in between?” Cat asks, and even if she occasionally reigns in her  imagination, she is always the more sensible of them. 

And before they can say anything else, Magnus is getting up with surprised delight. Magnus snaps his fingers, magic throwing open the balcony doors just in time for a figure to jump over the railing and onto the balcony.

There’s no time and no need — not with Magnus sheer joy and how his wards haven’t alerted any of them — and a body barrels into Magnus. 

“Rough day, Alexander?” Magnus croons, soft and very clearly utterly in love and Ragnor shares a panicked look with Cat. They had no idea, either of them, that the relationship had already progressed so far.

Cat mouths at him, “your idea as backup.” And Ragnor nods in understanding. 

After several moments of kissing they finally part for breathing — and Ragnor could have done without the reminder of how long Magnhs can hold his breath — and the shadowhunter sees them and freezes.

Then he looks at Magnus all soulful and worried and goes, “Magnus, we’ve been caught!” And faints, a full bodied and almost elegant swoon if not for the way he drops like an anvil. 

Magnus laughs, delighted and carefree as his magic catches his shadowhunter.

“They’re friends, lovely. I would have gotten rid of them before you came through the doors otherwise.” 

And the fainted form fluidly rises, “oh thank— what was it again?”

“Fuck.” Magnus supplies helpfully, with vindictive glee.

“Right, thank fuck.” The shadowhunter, Magnus’ Alexander nods, “you’re right. It’s much more satisfying than thanking Raziel.”

And Ragnor and Cat both have to use magic to hide their shocked noises.

And Magnus, Magnus throws back his head and laughs in a way that Ragnor hasn’t seen in so long that it brings a tear to his eye. And Magnus, he then reaches out, cupping his boy’s face and pulling him in for a kiss.  

It’s soft and sweet and so intimate that Ragnor is quite sure he’s felt less like a voyeur when watching Magnus fuck people in clubs or parties. 

“I thought you had a patrol?” Magnus is practically cooing, touching his boy all over and then he hits a spot and there is a minute twitch. And then he’s wrestling his shadowhunter to the ground and uses his magic to pull his clothes off to alarmed and flailing protests.

It’s a nasty gash, and Magnus’ boy is fit enough, but it’s the blush as he glowers up  at Magnus that Ragnor notices the most. 

Magnus’ Alexander clearly doesn’t care about the audience,  he’s barely glanced at them since Magnus assured him they weren’t a threat. Instead he’s staring at Magnus, his features are fixed in a glower but Ragnor knows Magnus, he knows a pout when he sees one.

“I think,” Ragnor says telepathically to Cat, “we should retire to yours. Come back tomorrow, when we’re sure they’re done.” Cat nods and creates a portal and they both roll their eyes when all Magnus does is wave a hand behind his back at them.

“Honestly, we’re lucky he let go long enough to say goodbye.” Cat reminds him when they’re in her apartment, but she’s smiling, pleased with how happy Magnus is. 

“So, planning?” Ragnor asks and Cat gives him a wicked smirk.

“And some plotting.”

Confessions of Obliviousness || Shadowhunters

FANDOM: Shadowhunters

PAIRING: Alec Lightwood x Magnus Bane

WORD COUNT: 1,029

RATING: PG-13

POTENTIAL TRIGGERS: N/A

SUMMARY: The fake dating angle that Alec and Magnus have been using has made things complicated. With Maryse heading back to Alec’s hometown, there’s a lingering fear of the end…or is there an end at all?

TAGLIST: @no1likemybbgcharlie, @spookidema

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

The media went wild in the week after Family Day at the university, and before they’d realized it, almost a month had gone by. Alec and Magnus had spent a lot of time with Maryse, helping her find a lawyer and then filing the necessary paperwork to run against her future ex-husband. Everyone was asking if Robert was abusive, or if he had really changed and was accepting of the lgbt+ community and Maryse ran with politics like a pro. She never belittled her ex, but she did make sure people knew she was intent on making a positive impact. The news conference where Maryse would officially state her intent to run was in the afternoon and Alec was sipping coffee and watching the news coverage on the tv as anchors talked about the pending public statement.

“You know, we don’t have to go.” Magnus spoke quietly, making Alec turn to look at him. “We can say a test came up or one of us isn’t feeling good.”

“The thing is...I don’t want to back out.” Alec admitted quietly as Magnus got his own coffee and came to sit by him. “Mom was the first person not my age to accept me. To open her arms and say she still loved me. She tried to keep in contact with Izzy and I and last week she stood up to dad for the first time ever. You helped us do that, you know.” He went quiet for a long moment, just holding his mug.

“While I admire you giving me credit, Alexander.” Magnus sat up to set his cup on their coffee table. “I think all of you had it in you. You just finally reached your breaking point.”

“Because my dad thought it was okay to imply you were a killer like your father.” Alec stated bitterly. “As if you are anything like that cold, demonic, monster of a man.” He didn’t notice the way Magnus’ eyes softened, the sheer love in dark eyes as Magnus reached over to lay a hand on his leg.

“Hey, it’s okay. Honestly, he isn’t the first person to react that way.” Magnus replied. “But going out there makes us public, you know,” he said. “And it would put us in the spotlight together.” His thumb brushed over Alec’s knee for a moment. “Is that...okay?” They’d done well with this...act...for this long but could it hold up under the scrutiny of the press?

Alec seemed confused for a long moment. “I mean...is it...not?” He asked softly. “I thought…” he flushed and looked away, as if he could hide the blush if he didn’t look directly at Magnus.

“Talk to me, Alexander.” Magnus urged, hand moving up the ravenette’s leg to hold his hand, lacing his fingers with Alec’s and watching him. “What is it?”

“I...I forgot.” Alec answered quietly.

“Forgot?” Magnus presses, tilting his head so he could see the other’s face.

 “That this wasn’t...y’know. Real.” Alec admitted, and Magnus felt as if he’d been slapped.

“Alexander...were you so nervous when Isabelle suggested it because you...have feelings for me?” He asked, his entire body relaxing as Alec but his lower lip.

“I mean, I knew it was going to end eventually, I just...didn’t want to think about it. And the other night you slept on the couch with me and I let myself hope that-“ He was cut off as Magnus laid a finger over his lips, blue orbs looking up at last. When the hand pulled back, he tilted his head. “Magnus?”

“We’re both pretty oblivious, Alexander.” Magnus answered, his smile one Alec couldn’t quite place. He’d seen it before though, several times in the last few weeks. Magnus moved closer, his hand carding through raven tresses and then down, his thumb tracing along Alec’s jawline. “I was dreading the day we would have to stop...us. I thought I could have just gone back to being friends, but I knew better after a week.”

“The art exhibit?” Alec asked, knowing exactly what Magnus was referring to. When Magnus nodded, he gave an amused smile. “Why that night?”

“You, Isabelle and Maryse all came and the way you just enjoyed every piece, even mine-“

“Your art is beautiful, Magnus.” Alec countered.

“I love my art, but all three of you had so much fun and then we were all walking through the garden back to campus and you took my hand and everything was just...right. After that I cherished every single moment because I knew at some point it was all going to end, but I didn’t want it to.” He replied. “I was scared to say anything to you about how I felt, I didn’t know that you felt the same.”

Alec reached to thread his fingers through Magnus’ hair, giving a quiet laugh. “Magnus...I love you.” He admitted. “I loved you before this. I was terrified it was all a really good act but then the night of the concert I let myself start to believe it.”

“When I brought you the bouquet?” Magnus half laughed, leaning closer and laying his lips over Alec’s. “I love you, too, Alexander.” He said when he pulled back. “More than anything.” A startled noise escaped him as he was pulled in and Alec held him as he kissed him deeply. He supported himself with one arm as he held himself up against the back of the couch, giving in and kissing back just as passionately. When his lungs burned for air, he pulled back, breath uneven as he slowly opened his eyes. “So no need to pretend we’re pretending anymore, right?” he asked, still clearly disheveled from just one kiss.

“No more pretending,” Alec answered, laying a hand on Magnus’ cheek and brushing his thumb along the skin. “Let’s get ready to go be with mom and we can finish this later.” he promised. “I’ll even order food.”

"I think that sounds like a wonderful plan, Alexander." Magnus agreed, even as he was reluctant to pull away. "First we meet with your mom, then we spend the day by ourselves."

Icebound Hearts

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/37TtSaJ by HxneiBee When Alec Lightwood, Los Angeles King's most disciplined pro Hockey player, crashes into Magnus Bane, the king of LA's event planning scene, it's not their first rodeo. Their paths crossed once in high school, a brief encounter charged with what-ifs and could-have-beens. Now, years later, a chance meeting in a club's pulsing heart rekindles old sparks into a blaze neither can ignore. Alec lives in a world of ice—calculated, cold, and exact. Magnus thrives in the spotlight, his life a whirlwind of glittering events and bright colors. They couldn't be more different. But as they navigate the challenges of their demanding careers and the scrutiny of the public eye, they find in each other an unexpected haven, a warmth that defies the coldness of Alec's icy world. As they skate on thin ice, will they fall through, or will they find solid ground—together?

Filler chapter you say? Max Max Max The emotions he expresses, the emotions he suppresses, his thoughts, the rawness in his thoughts, they always make me cry. I think I feel my heart grow bigger every time I read a chapter like this. Also, I know you have said in the past that somewhere you relate to Rafael/Anjali more. Is it hard to write a character like David/ Max /Alec then knowing that maybe their flaws are something you would get annoyed by in real life? How do you write a character (who you might not tolerate in life) without making them a villain? Writers/Actors in my opinion tend to make characters that resembles some or different parts of them or who they want, at least when they start because I guess it's very hard to get perspective here. One needs to have a really strong sense of their own identity right? to know exactly who they are/what they like and not lose it along the way of their art? I just think from the way you write Max and Alec shows real maturity in your writing

This is SUCH a great question (the questions we ask reveal a lot about us, so I'm appreciating you a lot for this)

Writers, of course, use their art to express (and even promote) their values - or values that are important to them. Many do this. I do this. A lot. If you read my stories, you know I get preachy sometimes hehe.

But we cannot only pass on the values we appreciate to the main characters. Similarly, we cannot give values we disapprove of to the villain characters. It doesn't work that way. At all.

This is not a value per se. But some of you know I'm not a huge fan of Taylor Swift, but I have a character who is obsessed with her. Now I can easily make all my characters like the same kind of music I do. But that doesn't make sense. Then my characters will all be like me. That sounds boring. Very unrealistic too.

For example, let's say one of the characters is pro-life/anti-abortion. I don't have to give this trait to a villain character. It could easily be Alec (or any of the Lightwoods/shadowhunters in a modern au - especially if they are traditional/religious). It doesn't have to be Zara or someone else. The same goes with things like cheating or whatever.

Having a flaw (sure depends on what kind of flaw it is), doesn't make your (main) character a bad person. That's important to understand.

All characters have flaws. Character flaws are pivotal to a character's journey. Some of these flaws are going to be things that piss me off or things I don't agree with. But I can't help it. I can't take it personally. I should also be wary of trying to 'fix it'. Because not all flaws are always fixable.

I think it's really about understanding the difference between fiction and reality. While I will not tolerate some of these values/habits among people I know IRL, I can be flexible with fictional characters (whether they're my own characters or not). Think of all the villains we stan in some of these popular movies (Anakin, baby, I'm looking at you). It doesn't we condone these actions in real life, do we? Nope. It's just like that. It's about knowing how to differentiate and not take it personally.

And yes, I agree, a strong sense of identity definitely helps along the way.

Once again. Very nuanced question. Loved it.

[cl4ry]

a private and selective clarissa fairchild , torn from the pages of the mortal instruments. est. in 2018, re-established in 2023. inspired by the shadowhunter's codex, christian theology and various folklore traditions. focusing on themes such as: cain and able, avidly avoiding the mistakes your parent's made, and reckoning with the violence of your family's past. please be advised that this blog will touch on subjects such as g.enocide, war, and violence. fuck c. clare and her gross plots. important and necessary canon changes are notes below along with my temporary rules.

tw for addressing c.clare's bullshit in.cest plotlines:

first off, in.cest is gross and is not tolerated on this blog. it is important to acknowledge c. clare's history of writing and continuing to defend plot lines that are pro-in.cest. if you like those plot lines or write those plot lines, fuck you. they are wrong. they are gross. and they're not going to be found on this blog.

my changes to canon regarding the above mentioned are as follows:

valentine never makes the claim that jace and clary are biological siblings. he does mention that he raised jace up to a certain point, and this puts tension on jace and clary's relationship as jace fears he is both unloveable and incapable of showing love.

jonathan (clary's brother) never does anything to his sister outside of the god awful psychological warfare he unleashes upon her and her friends. just because he is a product of demon blood does not mean he would entertain the thought of anything else. it's fucking gross and does an incredible disservice to a character who is otherwise beautifully complex and horrifying.

fuck shipping jace with any of the lightwoods. they are adopted siblings. it is weird, it is gross, and it is another example of c. clare trying to normalize in.cest. if you ship jace / alec or jace / izzy, kindly stay far, far away from me. : )

okay, now that all of that is out of the way, hi. general rping rules apply. i chose to write clary as eighteen, but because a lot of pivotal moments happen when she is younger, i do not feel comfortable engaging in any 18+ content. nor do i really want too. she is, in my mind, a child.

my goal with this blog is to actually do some work on a character that meant a lot to me when i was younger, so things will probably change as i re-familiarize myself with her and the world she exists in. if you're cool with that, feel free to stick around.

my name is anna. i'm 26 and have been writing in the tumblr community for over 10 years. i'm genuinely a friendly person, but i am also incredibly busy offline.

[p-taryn-dactyl]

hey! if you’re a shadowhunters fan, malec fan, alec lightwood fan, please DM me or send in an ask, i need more friends who understand my pain lmao

[magnus-the-maqnificent]

“Alec Lightwood is Hawkeye because he’s just a tired-ass archer with big dad energy who loves his family” YES but also… remember when Hawkeye went all dark after losing his family and started killing people and shit? 👀

[im-out-of-it]

season 1, episode 6 continued

21. I think I left off here, anyways, moving on. so Magnus is having to spell it out 😭

22. Alec notices magnus exerted his magic, so not only did he come here to help his parabatai who doesn’t care about him but HES CLEANING UP AND HELPING MAGNUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Alec is aware Magnus is powerful but he’s doing the work for him because of how much magic he used 🥹

22. okay these are not in order but I have laid out this beautiful scene ✨

23. Alec: please tell me he doesn’t drink that often because what the actual fuck is this

24. I think this scene is also important because it’s showing that Alec is being torn between family honor and being happy. everything he does is for others. does he keep making his family proud and stay in the closet or get out of that closet and start living for himself? I don’t think at this time alec realizes that he can have it all. I think he’s afraid of his parents expectations for him and he doesn’t feel as if he has a choice.

25. but here is Magnus who understands and doesn’t push any expectations on him. Magnus got his heart broken by Camille and this is something that he still feels and he feels that Alec could break his heart if it turns into anything serious.

26. “Why’d you come?”- magnus. “I’m not sure, I wish I would, I, I, I don’t know” alec stuttering in Magnus’s presence 😭

27. giving supernatural powers to the dumbest mundane and shadowhunter alive is crazy. Clary abused her gifts and it makes me mad that if anyone should have more powers, it should be to the girl that doesn’t think and barely works for anything. why is it that powerful ambition has to go to the one who didn’t earn it? I think it would be more fascinating to read it from someone who’s known they are supernatural but later on get enhanced, and then see them wrestling with that. Clary didn’t deserve to 1. be a shadowhunter and 2. to have the angel powers. they were right to take that power away from her.

so we landed at 27 today 👏🏼 let’s see what we get for our next one, and it may be a while before I can do the next one ☹️ but thanks for coming to our we love show Malec meeting and whatever name I used before 🫶🏼
