#Alexander lightwood-bane

[mandulabogesz]

This quote is from Matthew Daddario:

„I’d like to be remembered as being good. And not harming people. At the same time I want to be remembered for doing something important that affected people for positive change.”

By the Angels, with his portrayal of Alec Lightwood, he has done just that.

He is the reason we try to be better people. He has literally changed our lives in a positive way.

So thank you Matthew Daddario, and Happy Birthday Alec Lightwood-Bane.

Listen

Alexander is a baby gay

I refuse to believe he's immune to Magnus's shiny, glittery, colorful, funky bottles of all shapes and sizes, all those plants. All those books and ooh those fancy empty bottles waiting to be filled and sealed with fancy wax and fancy papers and tiny ropes !

I bet my longest lash he walked one day determined to make Magnus teach him how to make lip balm, sohe can come up with his own recipe, then upgrade to his own style of packaging. Bc he's that extra.

And because... why can't a lip balm be a spray Magnus? Says who? 🤨😈🕯

All yall saying Tommy calling Buck Evan is disrespectful and like malicious clearly don’t remember my man, fellow bi icon Magnus Bane calling his pookie Alec Lightwood, Alexander at any given moment despite no one calling him Alexander except his parents who also suck like my man was gone on that shadowhunter and so is Tommy!!!

Can you imagine when Clary or Simon figures out that Alec is just.... Living out a regency dime novel, how fucking funny that would be. Like.

Simon: No because think about it, a repressive society, an inexperienced heroine who's been forced to hide her sexuality, a rich rake who's in a local position of power---

Alec: I'm also in a position of power!

Simon: Yeah, some heroines are like, duchesses and stuff too, but they don't have any real power due to the crippling weight of societal expectations---

Alec: I'm going to kill you.

Simon: but anyway, the rake who's known for throwing these like, elaborate balls, who's closed his heart off to love---NO WAIT. MAGNUS IS MISTER DARCY. Like "I'm ignoring the inferiority of your birth" but instead of classism it's that your parents were magical Nazis.

Clary: You know, I think Magnus is more of a Bingley, I'm pretty sure he was into Alec from like, Day 1.

Simon: Have you seen Mr. Darcy? No way that man was not thirsting after our girl Elizabeth Bennet from like, the first time she sasses him back.

Clary: No, but hold on, I think Jane fits way better, the one who has all of their parents expectations on her to marry well, I mean, Elizabeth is more like Izzy or Jace if anything, like fuck the rules, stick it to the man vibes.

Simon: you realize. This makes YOU Mr. Darcy.

Clary: ...

Clary: Let's go back to Alec being a regency dime novel heroine.

Alec: I hate both of you.

Simon: Honestly, half of it is just how great of a dime novel hero Magnus makes. Like he's rakish and rich, and looks like he'd pull off a cravat. And he's always talking about how much he wants to "ravish" Alec. But their entire love story fits the plot honestly. Hero introduces heroine to the world of desire and passion, and heroine has to choose between the life she's always wanted for herself, or this sexy man with rippling abs who society doesn't want her to have.

Alec: talk about Magnus's body again and I'll find a stake and use you as a wall decoration.

Simon: ...I guess he's a little more violent than most regency heroines but there are variations to the genre.

[overheardinidris]

Magnus: I want to wake up next to you every day for the rest of our lives.

Alec: I wake up at 4:30 am.

Magnus: …

Magnus: I want to see you every day for the rest of our lives.

The Cat King, from the Dead Boy Detectives show :

Magnus Bane, from the Shadowhunters show :

Edwin, from the Dead Boy Detectives show :

Alec, from the Shadowhunters show :

Catwin ship, from the Dead Boy Detectives show :

Malec ship, from the Shadowhunters show :

Me :

Why ship Edwin with Charles when the Cat King fucking exists ?! Edwin & Charles also literally remind me a little the case of the duo Alec & Jace :

I would like to point out that I have nothing at all against the Edwin & Charles ship and that they could surely work completely in the future if Charles ever returns Edwin's feelings with certainty (I also think that they will surely be canon in the future if continuation of the netflix show there is). I even like them a little. But I definitely don't feel the spark between them, compared to Edwin with the Cat King... Sorry not Sorry !

I wonder if anna would be proud of alec for dating magnus and being a revolutionary and openly homosexual consul or if she would be disgusted by his fashion sense

SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE IT MALEC

Alec was on his feet now. His seraph blade was in his hand. He shot a look of contempt at Sammael. “Michael,” he said, and as the sword blazed up with holy name, Sammael visibly inched at the sound of the archangel’s name. Magnus felt a wave of pride. Not everyone could diss a Prince of Hell so artfully.

Michael is the name of the Archangel who defeated Sammael and it is also the middle name of Alec's son. Maxwell Michael Lightwood-Bane.

I just think how Alec when in battle can use both his son's names and lit up the seraph blade. Rafael. Michael. Alec loves both his children to infinity and I am so sure of that.

It's so beautiful to know the fact that Alec thinks of his family and heads into a battle.

And, the way Magnus is proud of Alec makes this moment even better. Also, props to Alec's sassiness.
