I feel like I never get to talk about my modern TSC babies by virtue of how the fandom is currently structured. So this post is a shoutout. To Clary, to Jace, to Alec and Isabelle and Simon and Magnus. To my Circle-era beloveds, Robert and Michael and Luke and Jocelyn and Maryse and Celine. To the twisted ways of the antagonists I love, Sebastian and Valentine and Malcolm and Sammael and Shinyun. To the immortals, of course, Raphael and Lily and Ragnor and Catarina. And to Dru and Ash, who I'm excited to get to know.
I would really like asks about the TMI, TEC, and Circle characters/books/plotlines in my ask box! I want to gush about the things I like about these series. I used to have way more opportunities to do this but just feel like I don't get them anymore
“I was curious,” said Magnus, his cat eyes glittering. “I’ve never seen one of the Night Children rise.”
Raphael glanced at Jace, who was lounging against a tree trunk. “You keep surprisingly illustrious company, Shadowhunter.”
“Are you talking about yourself again?” asked Jace. He smoothed the churned dirt with the tip of a boot. “That seems boastful.”
“Maybe he meant me,” said Alec. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Alec so rarely made jokes. He smiled nervously. “Sorry,” he said. “Nerves.”
“There’s no need for that,” said Magnus, reaching to touch Alec’s shoulder. Alec moved quickly out of range, and Magnus’s outstretched hand fell to his side.
Magnus' quote in The Last Stand of the New York Institute, '"I have no interest in the world you want," said Magnus. "Or in your doubtless repellent brat, I might add' just makes me giggle and kick my feet even after all this time 🤣
After all the lovely and beautiful malec quotes, this is probably my favourite. Like Maryse is never going to tell Alec this happened, she probably can't even remember, but we know and it's like a little nod to the audience and it always makes me grin like I'm 14 again
it's definitely one of the funniest dialogues lmao. it's tragic that ragnor or someone else wasn't there to witness it because they never would've let magnus live this down hehehe.
day 1 without ao3: i have gone through all 5 stages of grief multiple times and have invented a 6th. i will not disclose what the 6th stage of grief is.
I want them comfortably married and happy and bickering over their morning beverages and also I want them to fuck nasty on the living room floor because they can't wait another second
