FOR THE HEADCANON ASK BESTIE ✨❤️
✿ ♡ ▼ for malec 🥹
Hi love!!! thank you for asking <33
(headcanon ask game)
✿ - Sex headcanon
Here's the thing about parenthood: alone-time is often a luxury. Add to that the tiring responsibilities of Alec's consul-hood, and you don't have much room for sex. Every now and then, though, as often as it can be managed, Magnus recruits Izzy's help watching the kids for an afternoon/evening/night (the boys love their sleepovers with Aunt Izzy), and encourages Alec to take a break, to breathe, and to enjoy the night (which he does, unlike another Alexander I know lol yes this is a hamilton reference). They love their children more than anything, but those nights when they can have free reign of the apartment again, when they can have eachother on the couch, not worry about putting on clothes to make dinner, and then claim the kitchen as well, are some of the best nights.
♥ - family headcanon
Neither Magnus nor Alec had the most exemplary fathers, not by a long shot, and they've made a point to remind Max and Rafe--in words and actions--how loved they are, how they can go to their parents with anything, how they will always be safe in their parents arms. The little routines go a long way, they found. And even if Magnus or Alec has to work late and doesn't make it to dinner, they will always both be home at the end of the night to tuck the boys in, to read a bedtime story, or as they get older, to play a boardgame or sip hot chocolate and talk about their days.

Magnus -
It's hard to remember that Magnus had a happy childhood before the tragedy, and I think it might be hard for him too. I think it's why he always lives in cities now, to avoid the negative feelings anything resembling a farm might bring.. but there were good days. On one of his early birthdays, before his warlock mark fully developed, his step-dad took him fishing for the first time after the morning chores were done. Magnus wasn't the best, and could hardly get the hook to fly straight, let alone land where the fish would bite, but there in the shade with his step-dad encouraging him, watching the bugs skipping on the water, giggling whenever a splash made a fish jet away.. well it wasn't really about the fishing. (I have more about him coming home to his mom making a yummy dinner for the three of them but this is already too long lol)
Alec -
Being the only two kids in such a massive institute without much outside contact might seem lonely, but it was perfect for the imaginary games Izzy insisted they play, and even more perfect for hide and seek. There were endless hiding spots, and over the years, they only got harder and more elaborate. Once, when Izzy found Alec without him noticing, she snuck up from the other direction and scared the daylights out of him. It then became Alec's mission to get her back, and then Izzy's to get him back, and then it just became part of the game. Alec was always better, both at the sneaking up, and at the seeing Izzy creeping, though, and it frustrated Isabelle to no end.

I wish we had more female characters like Eleanor Shellstrop. One of the most unlikable people you've ever met. Read a Buzzfeed article on most rude things you can do on a daily basis and decided to use that as a list of goals. Makes everyone's day worse just by being there. Dropped a margarita mix on the ground and tried to pick it up, only to get hit by a row of shopping carts which pushed her into the road where she was hit by a boner pill delivery truck, killing her instantly. Cannot keep a romantic partner despite being bisexual. Had a terrible childhood but will die before she gets therapy. Best employee at a scam company. Just the worst but also can't help but root for her to improve.
Absolute loser. Girl-failure. Bad at almost everything. Literally perfect female character.

To illustrate this post by @mayahawkse I would like to visualize to you the difference:
A post in 2023:
A post in 2014:
A zoom out of the same post:
This is what a community looks like.
See how in 2023 almost all of the reblogs come from the OP, from their few hours/days in the tag search. Meanwhile in 2014 the % of reblogs from OP is insignificant, because most of the reblogs come from the reblogs within the fandom, within the micro-communities formed there. You didn't need to rely on tags, or search, or being featured. Because the community took care of you, made sure to pass the work between themselves and onto their blog and exposed their followers to it. It kept works alive for years.
It's not JUST the reblog/like ratio that causing this issue, it's the type of interaction people have. They're content with scrolling and liking the search engine, instead of actually having a reblogging relationship with other blogs in their community.
Anyways, if you want to see more content you like, the only true way to make it happen is to reblog it. Likes do not forward content in no way but making OP feel nice. Reblogs on the other hand make content eternal. They make it relevant, they make it exist outside of a fickle tumblr search that hardly works on the best of days.
If you want more of something, reblog it.

So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this
Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.
So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"
It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead
Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.

Every day I wake up and think:
“At some point Izzy realised how out of control things had gotten, and started putting himself in between Ed and the crew, as much as he could. Especially when Ed was too drunk/high to even know what he was doing. Cause Izzy doesn’t want the others to suffer more for his mistakes.”
“They are all bonded through shared trauma now.”
And every day I cry like a baby.
