Literally everything about Alec Lightwood in The Land I Lost makes me absolutely feral. The fact that he's trying to learn Indonesian for Magnus.
This entire passage:
Like? The scorn from the idiot Shadowhunters? Lily's sass? The way Alec puts his hand on his weapon, fully willing to literally fight in defense of Magnus's (or Lily's) honor?
The way he's absolutely convinced other Shadowhunters would try to murder him if they could get away with it but he uses his privilege to defend Lily.
This scene:
relatable as hell. I, too, am bad at faces at names.
The way Alec relates to Juliette's claim on her Downworlder children. The way he loves Max so fiercely.
This is literally from like 5 pages. Every single line of this entire short story is like one gut punch after another. I was giggling and kicking my feet while I read it. Alec and Lily's friendship is one of my favorite things and I love how hard Alec fights to make the world a better place and how he earns the trust of the Downworlders he protects.
Alec Lightwood is truly one of The Characters Ever. And I will never get over Alec and Magnus. They are the definition of love.
Magnus glanced up at him, touched his own heart with his ringed hand, and made a little flicking gesture. Alec grinned and opened his own hand to see the tiny blue spark of magic burning briefly there.
The Land I Lost (Ghost of the Shadow Market)
Oh, I find someone dead with the feels regarding love and domesticity. That's me. This right there is cinema.
the last line of gotsm ⁉️ how could i forget. they stressed it SO heavily. ALSO!!! when jem first brought up the line, something kinda struck me (maybe im late to the party)
the riders of mannan have bronze skin and hair. it cant be coincidental. i dont know where else to take this i just NEED to see if anyone else realized
Idc what you say, but that one scene from Ghosts of the Shadow Market where the Leader of the Shadow Market in Spain says that the power in Alec's ring comes from the heart of hell and Alec proudly says "𝘐 𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮. 𝘐'𝘮 𝘈𝘭𝘦𝘤 𝘓𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘥. 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘯𝘶𝘴 𝘉𝘢𝘯𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘮𝘦.", will always make me feel the proudest of Malec and the fact that they are now married with two kids. I will cry-
The Shadowhunters Chronicles needs a big character poster just like marvel does with all of their heroes and villains— combining them on one or separate ones. Nevertheless, I need every single protagonist, antagonist, and side characters all together on ONE gigantic poster so I can frame it in my bedroom.
Tessa really said: “I would go with you anywhere. Even if the world was burning, if the Silent Brothers hunted us to the ends of the earth, I would be happy, if I was with you” to Jem, and people still have the audacity to say she didn’t love Jem as much as Will.
so the new twp art doesn’t have kit with pointy ears but here me out… his powers aren’t fully manifested yet; he hasn’t tapped into his full fae side yet… what if kit has a different fae form but he needs to unlock that somehow??? god i’m so excited to read twp idek what to do 😭
I just finished my monthly Cassandra Clare re-read, this time being Ghosts of the Shadow Market, and I have come to a great conclusion.
By the start of The Wicked Powers, Kit will have spent about three years learning to live with Church, our resident grumpy old man. And I can't help but believe that this will result in him being so used to cranky animals that when he meets Irene for the first time, he'll be able to get immediately on her good side. Which of course, will be like a shot through Ty's heart.
please NOT KIT'S BI ASS FINALLY CONNECTING DOTS AND ASKING JEM ABOUT WILL WHILE THINKING ABOUT HIMSELF AND TY WHOM HE MISSES IN A SAD GAY WAY AND IS VERY MUCH AWARE OF IT. Kit constantly heard the way Jem talked about Will and finally was like "WOAH WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE WTF THIS ACTUALLY FEELS SO FAMILIAR? THE CLOSET IS GLASS DUDE. SPILL THE TEA". and the fact that JEM DID NOT DISSAPOINT AT ALL. he basically went "oh so it IS not platonic with you two too. ok i will not call you out like that but BLESS YOU MY BI CHILD, YOU'RE SO VALID AND YOU'RE NOT ALONE"
