On A Trip And HAD To Buy Something. Duh.

I can appreciate a man who's normal but I LOVE a man who's comparatively normal. A man who seems like a mess in a vacuum but as soon as you compare them to their friend circle you're like "oh. Oh wow. You're their idea of sensible."

I think it’s very interesting that Alec’s full name is Alexander.

Alexander means ‘man’s defender’ which is often his tactical position during fights. He defends the perimeter with his bow and often gets the brunt of attacks.

Although it fits perfectly with his identity as a Shadowhunter, it also fits nicely with his personality.

Alec is very defensive over the people he loves:

- He threatens Clary over Jace

- Kills Meliorn when searching for Magnus (insane moment that cemented him as my favourite character)

- Was adverse to Simon dating his sister (who he’s extremely protective of)

“Where's Simon?" Clary interrupted.

Isabelle wobbled. "He's a rat," she said darkly.

Did he do something to you?" Alec was full of brotherly concern. "Did he touch you? If he tried anything-"

No, Alec," Isabelle said irritably. "Not like that. He's a rat."

Even with his sons he’s always defending them, he worked hard to make sure Rafael was adopted properly.

Not to mention all the things he does for the Downworlder community.

Alec spent a lot of his life worrying about being unable to live up to expectations, only to become what his name represented.

Alexander doesn’t just mean defender, bro IS the defender 🔥

You cannot convince me that Alec looks that much like Will. Like, I know it's cannon that they do, but I just know that apart from hair and eyes he's a literal copy of Maryse. I just know. Go look at the official art. Miss ma'am might as well have pulled a Zeus because Izzy and Alec look JUST like her. I will die on the hill that Will and Alec only share eyes and hair.

This badass morally gray woman for whom I would die really did say: My husband's meh, so I'll just kick him out of the genetic cocktail.

And I love that for her because the Truebloods really do have the best characters.

The day I don't is the day I'll be buried

When people ask me what my hobbies and talents are but I can't say that I've developed a very acute sense at seeing the similarities in between siblings and between their parents bcs I never had siblings so it always seemed like such an abstract idea to me, and that my hobby as a five year old was to stare at random families on the bus, but that's weird and very much probably not normal.

So I just say I really like writing and listening to music.

shut the hell up this is one of the funniest things Magnus has ever said 😭

Nelly Dean (to Heathcliff): Who knows but your father was Emperor of China, and your mother an Indian queen?

Emerald Fennell: ... and that could mean nothing
