Cops and Youtubers

Non-Shadoworld cop AU The NYPD has an image problem. At best, civilians are disillusioned with the police, at worst, they are uncooperative or hostile. To counteract this, an idea is proposed. A Youtube channel. "A day in the life" style, episodic documentary. The division under Captain Luke Garroway has been elected to test it out. And since Luke's daughter is a youtuber herself, he manages to get her to be the assigned "host". She comes with her own camera man (Simon). Alec, Jace and Izzy all work for the precinct. Alec and Jace are detectives under Captain Garroway, Izzy is the station's head pathologist. While his siblings are rather taken with the idea (and the two youtubers who now regularly follow them around), Alec is not amused ™️ He doesn't like Clary, or Simon, or the whole youtube deal and being on camera. That is, until Clary invites one of her youtuber friends who is insanely popular on YT, to do a collab with the format in order to boost views. His name is Magnus Bane. And suddenly Alec doesn't hate the whole thing quite so much anymore.

@txkethefall hit the heart.

“I do not believe I know you,” Meliorn stated, on guard and tense because there had been some attacks in the shadoworld and no one was sure who was responsible. “What is your purpose here?”

[edwinspaynes]

I meant Lucie and Cecily common traits you mentioned, which are they? Lucie grew up with a loving family, and Cecily by one marked by grief, and one was in the shadoworld from the start and the other wasn't, I want to find the similar take you have because I never considered them to share anything other than Will as a family member

I realized last night that they have basically nothing in common, and that was the oddity of my revelation because my mind subconsciously lumped them together. While I don't hate them, they share the same predominant two traits in my mind: annoyingly immature and half of a ship I don't care for.

I think the immaturity is much starker because the other TID and TLH characters feel like they're in their 20s. Lucie and Cecily probably wouldn't annoy me in another YA series where all the characters acted their age, but my reaction to both of them is the same irritated eye-roll.

this is a good point!!! i used to make a similar theory with lucifer using alec as his mortal vessel/spy in the clave to does some master plan that will destroy the whole shadoworld. going back to the bible, the whole reason lucifer rebels against god and the big fights with the arch angels is because he didn't understand why god had to pay that much attention and power to helping humans. and shadowhunter is essentially the reminder that angels tamper their angelic blood whatsoever with blood of "inferior" humans in lucifer mind, so maybe his goal was to wipe out all of them, and it is kinda logical he would use the highest being in shadowhunter society (the consul) to push for that plan

only qualm im having about this theory is that alec would be the center and normally he is not in the context of the plotline to princes of hell - assisting clary, jace, magnus, and others to fight them, sure, but they're not his direct antagonists. and the "possessing by higher demons" plotline seems to be something cassie would give her "cooler" male herondale protagonists (viable options for twp is kit, jace again or janus) also the eldest curses so far have been centering how magnus rs or his heritage affect the overall plot point, so I'm still trying to connect alec-lucifer theory into how they gonna affect the last book for magnus side

The Alec and Lucifer Theory

Alright, this has been on my mind since TLBotW (further referred to as 'White' because I am lazy), but I think Cassie's recent event convinced me. Especially after she said the thing about going back to TMI themes (more on that in the end)

So let's talk about The Svefnthorn and Alec.

In White, he stabs himself with The Svefnthron and LIVES. Which should not be possible considering the Wiki says it contains a lot of demonic power and only a warlock could survive being stabbed with it. (Link leads to the wiki page as reference) We are never actually given an explanation to how/why he manages to survive this stabbing, it is implied it has something to do with the allience rune, but we are never given the impression thay the allience rune could act in any way that would save Alec's life in this situation. If the allience rune is what saved him, we don't know how/why, and if that were the case, how come Alec was so shocked that he surprised? I don't know, the allience rune explanation doesn't sit right with me. Alec himself mentions he doesn't understand how it worked.

And then we need to talk about Sammael's reaction, he is described as confused and then he just... fucks off. Sure, it might just be a natural reaction of someone who just basically got defeated, but we'll talk about what I think it might mean SOON.

Essentially, Sammael after the thorn fails to kill Alec just leaves, no smart comebacks, no significant reaction, he just poofs. And realistically, he could have killed them all out of spite, I mean he was mad about Lilith, that was at least half the point of his story in White.

The next time we see Sammael is during the White epilogue when he calls a meeting of the Princes of Hell! All of them except Lucifer. And we're basically told this meeting is being held without Lucifer on purpose, especially after this exchange.

“Too long have we gone it alone. If we are ever to truly achieve our larger goals, we must recognize that we are more alike than we are different. We must put aside our old grievances, forget them, and work together.”

Asmodeus looked astonished. “You mean—”

“Yes,” said Sammael. “I want to talk about Lucifer.”

So we have a mention of putting aside old grievances and then a mention of banding together and having to talk about Lucifer, this happens right after Alec mysteriously survives the stabbing with the thorn.

Now, we know the thorn was tied to Sammael, and we don't know much about Lucifer, but we know he is more powerful than all the Princes. So I will ask, what if Lucifer is the reason TMI crew (especially Alec) survived White?

Think about it, it would explain why Sammael reacted the way he did to Alec's survival, why he chose now is the time to band the Princes together, presumably, against Lucifer.

And then another thing happened- well, actually, 3 things happened. For 1, Cassie said that Lucifer might surprise us. (Kill me I cannot actually find a source for this, if anyone knows where/when this was said let me know, I'll add it to the post) 2nd thing was, Cassie's tumblr post about going back to TMI motifs, (we'll get back to this, I'll share the ss of the post lower in the post. 3rd thing being the recent claim that TEC3 aka The Black Volume can't come out yet because it spoils TWP.

On a slight tangent, I don't actually know where the idea that TEC3 won't come out until TWP is over, Cassie has previously said TEC3 would come out between books 2 and 3 of TWP.

ANYWAY, back to this Lucifer thing. Cassie recently said we'll go back to TMI themes.

And I think she mentioned Paradise Lost for a very specific reason.

I recently read Paradise Lost, and there's an interesting discussion and interpretation surrounding that book. The way Satan (or Lucifer) is written in Paradise Lost makes him a protagonist, but for many he is also an anti-hero written in a sympathetic way, if not a straight up hero. While his goal is ultimately evil, he isn't written as pure evil as Lucifer often is. He also is a liberator in Milton's poem, he believes that what he is doing is ultimately good for humanity. (I am not gonna waste your time referencing academic sources and interpretation, but I do think you should look it up if any of this sounds interesting)

I think Lucifer will not be the villain we believe he is. He may be a villain, but with different plans and motivations than the rest of the Princes. I wonder if Alec will be part of that plan and if Lucifer needs some of our Shadowhunters alive, and if he might be the reason Alec survived the stabbing.

TEC was always focused on the Princes of Hell plot while TWP is actively looking like it will be dealing with the Cohort, Clave in Exile and the plots set up in TDA. It makes sense to me that the Lucifer plot would play out in TEC.

This is what I have so far. I am open to people adding stuff, I doubt I'm the first to have this idea.

@theshadowworlders mission 2: Alec Lightwood-Bane and Magnus Lightwood-Bane/Malec

“I want to be clear. No, I’m not interested in fun on the quiet. And no, I can’t do better than Magnus. There isn’t better than Magnus. “

I'm researching definitions for downworlders and all sorts of creatures in the shadowhunters lore and istg I'm trying not to die of laughter. Because nephilim, in their original lore are children of fallen angels and humans and they're huge beings with an immense power and they wreak havoc wherever they go I just think that's really funny

i've been moaning and manifesting magnus unhinged moment but i know it hardly gonna happen a lot cuz magnus literally choose to turn into a demon (which he already stated he would rather be killed than let happens) to spare alec life. be honest how many chance the shadoworld gonna survive if magnus truly goes unhinged cause sth happen to alec

I will set the shadow world on fire myself if I don’t get to a see feral Magnus atleast once before the end of TSC. It’s what we deserve after all these years of Magnus/Malec stanning
