Awww 😍🤩 I love these boys

alec and magnus plotting in the same sky and going over Magnus' maps of magical new york and mundane new york alike (magnus 100% has both of these as High Warlock)

alec: okay so these tunnels connect to this even if we can't find physical proof, meaning something may have shifted. a rock fall, demon nest, magical explosion. we'll need to stabilize it with magic or physically but we could cut through the tunnel that is no longer there to get to-

Magnus with heart eyes: he's so smart. wow how lucky i am i never would have been able to decipher these ridiculously complicated maps darling

alec: ... magnus you wrote these maps. not only is your magical signature literally pouring off of them but you scribbled notes and also little insults about the people you made the maps with or who lived there while you did and also scrawled your name across in six different ways... just across the back.

magnus: details! semantics! a lost art that i have long since forgotten. a rusty tool i no longer remember how to use

alec *sad eyes*: so you don't remember how to draw maps anymore and can't help me route the underwater caves we swam in on our 75th wedding anniversary? so that we can find them again earlier?

magnus snapping his fingers and summoning a table with a cartography set: forget valentine for a moment my beloved, here see this is your favorite cove and if i remember correctly we swam through an underwater tunnel to a little grotto with those treasure hunting platypus' you love and- why are you grinning at me like that?

alec: a lost art, huh? rusty, huh?

magnus: ... let me admire my husband okay? do you know how much ragnor complains about deciphering my maps and then you're just reading them like a mundane picture book!!! let me wallow in your appreciation of my skills and intelligence beloved!!!

Book Clary is so much better than the TV series one. Why do they have to ruin characters like this? ESPECIALLY female characters!

love triangles these days are so weak like ohh how will the girl choose bw this one asshole nobody likes and this other obvious endgame the entire fandom adores. back in my day the competition was so severe the girl had to marry the mortal one and then marry the other immortal one after the mortal one died. meanwhile the ones in question were reaching unhinged levels of secret-third-thing style devotion all on their own.

I love the silent judgement in the second one. Those eyes speak essays 😂

In honour of Red, White and Royal Blue becoming my official comfort read, I decided on a mini-project to track all the times Alex Claremont-Diaz obsesses over Prince Henry without ever realising it. I'm calling it "Alex's Oblivious Obsessive Pining"

Alex's Oblivious Obsessive Pining #1:

"there Henry is, in the flesh, as classically handsome as ever in his tailored three-piece suit, all tousled sandy hair and high cheekbones and a soft, friendly mouth. He holds himself with innately impeccable posture, as if he emerged fully formed and upright out of some beautiful Buckingham Palace posy garden one day."

Because nothing says "I despise you" like devoting a mental paragraph to describing your "archnemesis" like a closeted Victorian poet 🙄. Oh Alex! 😮‍💨
