Just a cute parabatai moment in The Lost Book of the White

[mattiloveskawoshin]

Headcanon: Lucifer and Matthew Fairchild fell in love, when Matthew dies, Lucifer is literally a widower and doesn't come close to any other prince of hell, humans etc. That's why he never appears, not even in the official draws, because he is mourning.

Name that one very underrated TSC character for whom you'll drench yourself in heavy rain, willingly.

Mine: George Lovelace

I think we as a society should be obsessed with the shadowhunters books again

[starwolf-and-marauders]

The urge to pick up the red scrolls of magic (or any Shadowhunter book for that matter) from the shelf and reread it for the 3729474th time hits me every week but, unfortunately, i do want to pass the exams and go to uni so i have to study instead

Malec + petnames:

“Alec, my darling. Clary. And rat-boy.”

―City of Ashes.

"Hey, honey," said Magnus, and it was a little marvelous that he meant Alec. "What's new?"

―The Red Scrolls of Magic.

“Hey, gorgeous, how are you feeling?” he murmured.

―The Red Scrolls of Magic.

Magnus gave him a look of surprising sweetness. “Not me, love,” he said. “We’ll think of something.”

―The Red Scrolls of Magic.

“Oh, my love,” Magnus murmured. “I am so glad to be home.”

―The Red Scrolls of Magic.

Alec woke to Magnus's shaking his shoulder. "Come on, sweet pea," he said. "Time to rise and face the day."

―City of Lost Souls.

"Oh, honey." Magnus kissed Alec's neck anyway.

―The Lost Book of the White.

"They're the only leads we have, my love," Alec said, "so I think we're getting in the cabs."

―The Lost Book of the White.

"Darling," Magnus said quietly, "we're invisible."

―The Lost Book of the White.

Magnus continued stroking Alec's chest were the thorn had entered, until Alec, wirh effort, said, "Not here, my love. Ragnor is watching us."

―The Lost Book of the White.

I will then entertain the children for the rest of the day while you, my love, my all, take a nap and join us whenever you please.

―Secrets of Blackthorn Hall.

Dear delectable muffin of love, I hope this perfumed letter finds you well, and that you and R and M are having an excellent time in your exotic journey to…well, I believe the term you used was “upstate.”

―Secrets of Blackthorn Hall.

It's crying over Lightwood-Bane family hours

[hellcifrogs]

If MinaKushi kids are being talked about I will throw in my own pair ☺️

Kimchi (female) and Miso (mab but genderfluid/any pronouns), they’re meant to be with Naruto as triplets. Kimchi looks exactly like Kushina while Miso is a mix of MinaKush to go along with Naruto looking like Minato (and also I thought it was funny to have Miso as the literal middle child)

Personality wise, Kimchi is originally more like Kushina before turning out more similar to Minato (eldest daughter turned clan head stuff), and Miso has more of Minato’s personality but became the Tragic Genius Kid and graduated early to provide for his family but then had to deal with Not Knowing their own Identity (can you tell he’s a wip cause I don’t wanna make him just Itachi?)

Also!! Def wanted to lean into the ramen topping theme and chose names that started with K and M, and it was a coincidence that Kimchi and Miso were kinda spot on personality wise (Kimchi being a spicy thing and Miso being a grounding/dependable type thing)

Naruto with siblings as triplets is something I did not know I needed! <3 How would that work for Kurama? Idk idc but Kimchi is already my favorite!

Magnus is Alec's life and Alec is Magnus's death

One minor post to dive into this new theory I have. We know there are a lot of parallels and symmetries between malec: angel/demon, moon/sun, introvert/extrovert, silver/gold, etc Then I start thinking deeper into this tendency of their dynamic to push and pull each other, and come to this

1. Magnus is Alec's life

City of Bones

In the sense that Magnus has helped save Alec's life countless times, it was established in their small breadcrumbs in one of their earliest interaction, when he saved Alec from the demon poison. One can say this quite literally set the foundation of their relationship, as Alec asked Magnus out while visiting Magnus to say thank you for saving his life

City of Heavenly Fire

He also saved Alec again during the gang's journey to Edom, even though Magnus wasn't present. Alec's hallucination, caused by the demons, includes a lot of people, yet Magnus is the one who snaps him out of it, insisting that life is worth living more than fantasy.

The Red Scrolls of Magic

Magnus also brings life to Alec in a metaphorical sense, "breathing a new life" into him. Opening his eyes to new beauties, chances, and people, letting Alec know that yes, he is built for storybook moments too

Queen of Air and Darkness

Magnus is his biggest muse, inspiration. Magnus makes him strive every day to make the world a better place. Alec wants to be better for Magnus, for their family, he loves him so much, he will bend and break the narrative for the future in which Magnus can be happy

2. Alec is Magnus's death

The Red Scrolls of Magic

City of Heavenly Fire

City of Heavenly Fire

On many occasions, when Magnus has a near encounter with death, he remembers or thinks about Alec. Is it because somehow Magnus got the worst luck in existence and keeps kissing death every two months and stressing his friends and family out? Maybe. But this kind of proves Alec is present a lot during Magnus' perceived final hour

The Red Scrolls of Magic

Many times, people have told Magnus Alec will be "the death of him", referencing how his angelic blood and family will make him eventually choose his shadowhunter community above all else, and abandoning Magnus (not featured pictures, cause honestly there are like a lot). I kind of find it interesting how it ties up to Magnus's perception of himself, and eventually of Alec, like when he's kind of implying Alec should prioritize his life over Magnus's here

Magnus's letter to Alec

Death, of course, can translate to other things, not just a physical one. The death of one's old self, a transformation, aligning with how Magnus is describing Alec's presence in his life here

3. We Have to Talk About The Black and White Impermanence

The Lost Book of The White

For the sake of my argument, let's theorize White Impermanence as "life" and Black Impermanence as "death."

The Lost Book of The White

Alec eventually succeeds in his trial, and he is able to give "death" to Magnus. And we also know this is true because-

Queen of Air and Darkness

In Thule, Alec did kill Magnus after he turned into a demon. And after Alec's "life" is gone, he is gone too

The Lost Book of The White

I don't see people talk about this a lot, but from the way I interpret it, Magnus, too, has his own trial with the sword in The Lost Book of the White, and he passes it. He gives "mercy" to Alec, making Shiyun spares Alec's life. By submitting to Sammael, he literally gives "life" to Alec, while Alec brings "death" to him via death of the self, because Magnus's biggest fear is becoming a demon (stated he would rather be killed than that)

"Author posts this in the malec fandom and runs away."

[r-inijhinix]

Y'all don't understand how much of An Experience it is having The Red Scrolls of Magic being the book that introduces you to the TSC fandom

Like, hello, I spent Too Fucking Long wondering how tf this is the first book of a series when every other page it felt like the main characters were making a reference to some plot element I didn't know about

"who is this Jace Herondale fucker? What do you MEAN there was a war this book ISN'T covering for some reason?"

"There has got to be a prequel of some sort I don't know about" i thought naively

The prequel was a whole other series. A 6-book series. With another 3-book series preceding it.

I was just a baby gay who wanted to read a fantasy about other gays. Being initiated into a cult was NOT what I was planning on

Anyways, here I am 2.5 years later

[alecisnoturbitch]

Magnus slowly turning into a demon

But this is what's on alec's mind

He's too far gone, he can't be saved anymore 🥲
