[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

sitting in the coffee shop and suddenly the song comes on that played over Malec’s breakup in 2x18 and I’m just sitting here with flashbacks

the painnnnnnnn💔

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

so I’m currently rewatching Shadowhunters after going to the Mortal Hunters con and feeling the usual post-con sadness and

Jace: *on the ground* Clary: Is he gonna be alright?

Magnus: I don’t know. Does he normally just lay like that without moving? we were really robbed of sassy Magnus in the following seasons asjsdjskdsk season 1 Magnus didn’t give a fck

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

Shadowhunters 3x22 Commentary

Why do people in movies always think that yelling before attacking someone is the way to go?? You literally warn your enemy that you’re coming

I still don’t know what to think of Izzy Fire Hands

I really thought they’d kill off Meliorn for a second but good that we have two warlocks to heal him

Lilith takes an awful lot of time flying towards them extra slowly so they can try everything to stop her and fail

I don’t know why but this whole Izzy with Heavenly Fire thing is so stupid and lame I just can’t get behind it

Good that they know how to pull the fire from her I guess

Edom doesn’t feel so good, Mr. Stark

Wow Sizzy are not wasting ANY time now that Izzy won’t spontaneously catch on fire if she touches Simon

That Malec snippet is so soft I am melting. Also, Malec in gold sheets

So we only get actual Sizzy scenes in the extra episodes 21 and 22? For 3B being “Sizzy Heaven” that’s kind of weak and I feel robbed

Everyone who said that Malec talking about a location for their wedding was only a dream sequence can go f*ck themselves. Along with those that insisted the Malec wedding would be a dream.

The only Royal Wedding I care about

Seems like the directors saved all the light bulbs for this last episode because I think that’s one of the first sufficiently lighted Malec scenes since their first date

“I do like you in a tux” I am having the greatest headcanons about Malec ditching their own wedding celebrations to make out in Alec’s office

“I can think of one” did you really have to put that in there and ruin Clace for me after you’ve made me start to like it? Great, thank you.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww did they really have to give us Seelie QueenxJonathan?

I’m sorry but those claw-gloves look like they’re parts of a very low-budget Halloween costume and they kind of keep me from taking Jonathan seriously

I missed Lola this season :c

RIP Seelie Queen. That was a short relationship.

The writers giving us good parabatai scenes? In this economy?? Colour me surprised

You call it “courage” and “heroic”, I call it “stupid” but okay

Clary and Izzy becoming parabatai is something I would have wished for episodes ago but I’m glad they did it at all

I’m glad that everyone agrees that Alec is a bridezilla lmao I would have loved to see this conversation and Alec going like “mY wHoLe pLaNniNg is mEsSeD uP bEcAuSe of yOu bUt oKaY!!”

This whole scene is so cringey oh my god. So they really trying to tell me Jocelyn is an angel? Some kind of angelic messenger?? This is so stupid. But they had to give Clary the message somehow so…okay then.

People will probably say that this is unfair but Clary has really been stretching all boundaries with those runes and she mainly did it either for herself or to fix something she messed up by being stupid and selfish, so…she kind of deserves this lol and the angels giving her a last chance is actually pretty nice of them, they could have just taken her angelic powers away without a warning

Magnus cake-tasting for the wedding he never thought he’d have with a person who loves him at least just as much as Magnus loves them is a beautiful thing

So…Magnus has to thank Lorenzo for reluctantly being dragged along on the mission to save him but we’ll never get a Thank You from Lorenzo for fixing the corrupted leylines or an apology for how he’s been treating Magnus since he became High Warlock? Great.

So I’m supposed to feel sorry for Lorenzo now? Well, I don’t.

Give me all the Alec-Maryse scenes they’re so cute

Wow, Max grew a lot in three months

I can’t believe that they didn’t give us any Jonathan action during all 10 episodes of 3B and only NOW he actually DOES something in the extra episodes?? What a wasted potential. Jonathan did more when he was still Sebastian.

Can’t believe that Clary is moping over being unable to draw her own runes again. Like. That’s not a big issue. Just tell everyone “hey, the angels are mad because I’ve been using the runes a lot so we’ll have to find a way around it, because else they’ll take my powers away” and they would just be like “Okay, I get it, sorry to hear!” Like…it’s not that big of a deal

Yeah, Jonathan totally didn’t kill them so they can deliver his message and not because they are main characters.

This Clary-Jonathan scene is the best they had until now. The emotions are raw and understandable and seeing her sobbing at having to kill him, Jonathan begging for her to let him go like a little boy in pain, that was an amazing feat of everyone involved. I love. Right now I’m just sitting here like a huge :CCCC emoji

Everybody move it’s the Malec wedding

Catarina looks STUNNING

My babies are so happy

I love the wedding vows to death, especially the way they complete each other’s sentences and speak the end together, there’s probably a metaphor somewhere in here but I’m too busy grinning like an idiot to make one up

That was brief but lovely

You get a happy ending and you get a happy ending, everybody gets a happy ending!

Good that the angels are giving her a countdown and enough time to enjoy the wedding of the century

I’m sobbing over Heline, we deserved more of them

As much as I’m trying I can’t get behind this Underhill-Lorenzo thing It’s very ew

So I heard this super cringey Clary line is from the books and I’m not surprised lol

Kind of pissed we got more of everyone else than Malec at their own wedding. At least one scene where it’s just the two of them? Without slowmo and music? A little bit of loving banter? Jokes about being husbands now? Flirting about their honeymoon? Nothing??

So Clary suddenly stands in a park at night in a nice dress and has no recollection of anything that happened after her 18th birthday, no home, no money, nothing. And she just kind of…walks…somewhere and…keeps living her life as if nothing happened…when her mom isn’t there…and Dot…and her apartment is either still burned down or lived in by someone else…Simon is not home…his family isn’t there anymore…like, I get that they had to think of something and keep it simple but…at least put a little more thought into it

Oh NOW they can do time jumps???

I don’t know what to think of Inquisitor Alec but I’m happy if he’s happy

Malec living the married life and being happy husbands is my aesthetic

At least they brought Maia back to New York

Please tell me Maia and Bat are dating

Izzy is Head of the Institute!!

That Jace-Simon training scene is amazing. Boop Boop. We were robbed of this dynamic.

Boop Boop

I’m glad that Clace at least got a hopeful ending and I love the parallels to their first meeting in season 1. I’m liking them a whole lot more when they’re a cute down-to-earth couple

I’m totally not crying over the fact that this is all over now

The song choice is on POINT and I’ll download this so I can keep crying

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

Shadowhunters 3x21 Commentary

So…this is the “hot” scene that was supposed to be the last scene of 3x20??? I’m glad they didn’t go with that

What is it that makes the Seelie Queen so h*rny for Jonathan? Is it his evilness? Well, Jonathan and I are not digging it.

I’m surprised the writers remembered that these characters care about Alec and Magnus

It’s kind of sad that they suddenly write Clace in a way I can enjoy now, when it’s all ending. F*ck the writers.

“Sweetheart” I love Maryse

But at the same time, Maryse really does not know her stubborn son because that guy would do anything to get Magnus back. No way will Magnus stay in Edom longer than he absolutely has to.

Lilith sucking up to Magnus is so amusing because it probably costs a lot for her pride to do that

Magnus confident in how powerful he actually is and basically being the king of Edom is my aesthetic

“my word” excuse Magnus and me while we laugh

Magnus Bane is probably the only person who can say No to Lilith and get away with it

Man, am I over these writers making Jordan seem like such a good person and caring more about his reputation than Maia’s health. She did not deserve to have her whole story in 3B revolve around that guy.

So they’re shipping Maia off for her great closure..? I’m not into it but okay.

Finally some good Sizzy. They’re so cute.

I think it’s not a good sign if you’re set on fire when you kiss your future boyfriend

I still can’t get over Lorenzo-chameleon scratching HELP in the terrarium

Helen :DDD

Exploding doesn’t exactly sound fun

So now they made up this bs to…what? Keep Sizzy apart for longer? I actually really thought that Sizzy would be together by now. Wtf are they doing.

Alec in big brother mode is my favourite thing

I can’t at the way Alec says “Simon” he is so very not amused

Clary ships it!!

Alec Lightwood would be ready to be turned into a vampire to save Magnus and I think that says everything

“I’m a terrible sire” bahahahaha

So Jonathan is literally cocooning?? That’s trippy

As much as I can’t stand the Seelie Queen, her outfits are amazing

Why does everyone in this series have to do selfless but dumb things without telling anyone or waiting for an alternative option??

And the Alliance rune was born

Hey, she’s that one dude from Fantastic 4!!

That was a short cocooning.

Lorenzo is a Simon fanboy

Hey, Lorenzo, he’s not his boyfriend, he’s his fiancé now.

Yes, play into his enormous ego. A smart way to get him to agree.

After everything, Simon is still a scaredy-cat

Alec playing around with magic is so cute. I just wish it was Magnus’ and not Lorenzo’s

“when you take your lover to bed” Jace’s face hahahahahhahahahaha

God, Lorenzo is so far up his own ass

Edom looks…homey

Putting the ring back on calms him down I am sobbing

“magic I can’t even control” well, it was pretty easy for Valentine to control it when he was in Magnus’ body, he learned everything in, like, an hour or two.

Jace forced to tell the truth at all times omg Meliorn is going to have so much fun with that

We finally get some good Climon friendship!!

Learning slaughter, a normal Saturday afternoon in the Seelie realm

I’m cracking up at the Jace-Meliorn scenes

So Jace thinks Meliorn is a 9? I ship it.

“there’s very few plants” you could say that

What exactly did Izzy want to achieve with this solo mission?? Edom is huge. First, she’ll have to find Magnus. And then? What? She is not more powerful than he is so in a potential war, what use would she be? Magnus would only have to protect himself and her and potentially endanger himself to keep her safe. What use was Izzy going to Edom alone?

People ripping needles out of their arms is a movie thing I always cringe at

So apparently, Heavenly Fire gives you a good shave

That Malec reunion though. They’re so happy.

Lorenzo acting as if he didn’t have to be practically forced to come

Jace on Seelie is terribly amusing

Yeah, fight Lilith when you barely managed to escape those demons, good idea

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

Alec: Magnus and I are getting married. Tonight.

Jace: OMG Alec, are you pregnant???

Alec: .....

Izzy: ......

Magnus: ......

Clary: .....

Jace: I have realized my mistake.

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

Alec’s idea of romance is annoying the Clave by marrying his fiancé in the middle of the New York Institute.

I would not have expected anything less.

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

Shadowhunters 3x20 Commentary

If Jonathan really thought that the Seelie Queen would come off her high horse and at least act scared then he was sorely mistaken

Oh!! We finally get some actually dark Clary!! I have hopes for this episode

Okay I take it back. Does being a dark Morgenstern include sexing up your sibling? Because ew.

It’s so surreal to have Asmodeus, Prince of Hell, sit on a random park bench in New York with his son, one of the most – if not the most – powerful warlocks on earth bonding over pretzels.

Man I love Asmodeus as a villain, it’s a shame we won’t have him for more than one episode.

“Papa, he stole my apartment!” – “I will handle it, son”

I didn’t think I’d ever say this but I missed Meliorn, he’s a cool guy. Good to have him back, I hope he survives.

Also, those Seelie armours are amazing

Man I suddenly love Meliorn, he’s so sassy. And also, Jace being forever in his debt probably sounds pretty good to him

Not taking Simon or Luke with them probably sounds like betrayal but I’d rather not have them explode into a thousand pieces if something goes wrong

That Alec and Maryse scene though!!

Alec looks so emotionally and physically exhausted as soon as Maryse mentions Magnus.

“I should have never asked for this in the first place” ouch. That hurt. He really gave her the ring back. *Holt voice* PAINNNNN

Lorenzo is so in love with himself how does anyone think he could ever be shipped with someone who isn’t his reflection in a mirror.

That pretentious f*ck with his classical music

Someone please gif the parallel between Magnus and Alec bursting into the apartment to confront Lorenzo

Ah, demon hierarchy.

Bahahahhahahaahahahahah Lorenzo Rey a chameleon, I can’t

“he’ll be quiet” I love sassy Magnus

Oh the potential that we could have had with Magnus and Asmodeus as chaotic duo and a little bit of dark Magnus. Harry and Jack would have pulled that off so well.

So…Jordan wants to give Maia the Heavenly Fire stuff to make it right that he changed her in a fit and then left her to her own. Yeah, that’ll work.

This scene makes me imagine getting a SMS from the Praetor like “Hey Luke! Let’s meet in this suspicious black car with tinted windows, I’ll send you the location. Bring some muffins if you can. Love, Praetor”

Oh no.

The almost-kiss, I knew it.

Great that they had two siblings almost kiss and then not even mention why it would be bad to do so.

I love the S3 Magnus-Maryse dynamic SO MUCH

It still annoys me that she had to help Magnus put two and two together but on the other hand it’s understandable considering how heartbroken he was after Alec broke up with him, with those words no less. He was practically out of his mind.

Maia is right! As I said before, getting thrown into being a Downworlder might be terrible if you’re not prepared but now trying to live a normal life again would be just as hard. Being a werewolf is her life now, and I’m glad that the show finally stopped acting as if every Downworlder has to ‘be healed’.

As much as I hate Jordan, Chai is a sweetheart.

Ohhhhhh the father-son showdown

*Lorde – Royals starts playing*

TELL HIM, MAGNUS!!

Giving Asmodeus the line with “finding my way back to you” which is a certified Malec line was probably on purpose considering how Magnus reacts to it. I love that.

Bye, Papa Asmodeus, I’ll actually really miss you, we were robbed of your evilness

I am THERE for Izzy with swords

Archer Alec is back!!

Okay Morgenstern blood aside, I still don’t believe that Clary with a few months of training is a better fighter and I am SO done with Izzy losing in combat and made seem like a weak warrior and damsel in distress

So…Alec just lies there and watches? Because…plot!

But that was an actually really cool fight sequence

So Izzy is the only one hit by shrapnel when the whole sword exploded? Sure.

I really missed my two favourite werewolves

So they can suddenly apartment-travel right into Alicante? Aren’t portals and stuff banned or something?

What is this?? The first Clace scene in a long time that I enjoyed watching? Bryan really saved it all.

And now we’re even getting Sizzy?? Nice!

They’re so cute

I have a bad feeling about this

Yep, I was right

RIP Jordan

Remember how everyone was like “I bet she’s walking away from Jordan’s dead body” when this scene was in the trailer? Well, yeah, they were right.

Jonathan is on his way

It’s good that these characters always know what to do to achieve something on the first try, I would have just stabbed this sword into a couple things before thinking about swinging it in the air to open the rift

“research” I can’t at Alec’s smirk he knows exactly what they’ve been doing

Well, those are a lot of demons

Good to know that Alicante is absolutely not prepared for a bigger demon attack

MAGNUS!!!

“Traffic was hell” I love him

Well, you should have probably been nice to him when he was still ready to cooperate

Malec kissing while Alicante is falling apart is a perfect depiction of their story during season 3B, it’s my aesthetic

That mutual proposal was all I could have ever asked for and I’m totally not crying right now

When they all watched the rift close with Alec crying on his knees without knowing if that bit of magic was the last thing he’d ever see of Magnus? Yeah, that hurt.

Now THIS is how you do a Shadowhunters episode.

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

*disclaimer: don’t get me wrong, I love this show. But the writing has been absolutely terrible and I’ve had it with this bs*

I just sat down and thought about what happened during 3B until now and I genuinely cannot remember any bigger plot points. And there’s only one episode left, not counting the additional 2 that were added after cancelling the show.

Like...what have they done in the 9 episodes they had until now??

Jonathan was introduced and was a major letdown because with everything they could have down with him, all they did was show him lusting after his sister.

Dark!Clary was something I thought would happen from around the 2nd episode into 3B and instead what we got was the chaos siblings running off to Paris and the others bringing Clary back in the same episode, more Jonathan stalking and lusting after his sister, and an endless back-and-forth between the light and the dark side. And now that she’s Dark all she does is…act sexy and flirty? Where’s the evil? Okay there seems to be a fight scene next episode so…we’ll see if they fix that.

They gave Malec almost exactly the same storyline as they did in 2B after establishing SEVERAL TIMES that they are working on their communication, that they got more open with each other, that they trust each other, that they’re always there for each other, just to make them go back on their words an episode later.

What even is happening with Clace?? Why did the whole Jonathan mess suddenly evolve into an incestuous love triangle?? And let me not even get started on the drugged making out. Wtf. Is Jace even still a character they consider if it’s not about keeping Clary save and getting her back? What does he do aside from that? And yeah Shadowhunters love once, deeply, blah blah blah but his whole life revolves around his girlfriend who ran off with her brother. Clary is not exactly in danger at the moment. Yet all he thinks about is her. Maybe give his character some more meaning outside of Clace??

Then...Sizzy. I thought they’d slowly build them up from the 1st episode but instead they brought IzzyxRaphael and IzzyxMeliorn back up and wrote Sizzy as friends. Cool cool. Where are the big Sizzy scenes and the romantic getting together the fans were promised??

As for Luke and Maia and the werewolves as a whole it seems like they keep forgetting that they actually exist if it’s not for the sake of killing off almost the whole pack. Luke with the Praetor was ignored for two episodes. Maia gets the Jordan mess instead of her actually acting on being the new alpha. What happened to building up the pack? Where did Bat disappear off to?

Also, I just randomly remembered that Lilith ran off with Cain. Yeah. What about that?

They ignored the fire that Asmodeus could have brought to the story for 8 of 10 episodes.

And instead they gave us Heidi at LENGTH to the point that almost everyone was annoyed of it. Great. What was that even good for? What progress did it bring? We could have gotten Raphael as a link in the Downworlder prison if they made Heidi disappear with the Praetor instead of bringing her back. She was unnecessary.

What even was the point of these episodes? Where is the big plot with Jonathan as the New Bad Guy? All he did by now was whine about wanting his sister at his side and search for a sword without any clear incentive on what he actually wants to achieve by raising the demons. We’re in episode 9/10 and there’s no sword in sight.

What was the point??

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

S1 Maryse: And all for a Downworlder?!

S3 Maryse: *planning Malec’s wedding* All of this for the Downworlder!!❤

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

Shadowhunters 3x19 Commentary

Magnus T^T baby T^T that hurts so much. His face. His everything. Someone who’s not Asmodeus give the boy a hug, preferably Alec.

Okay sorry but Asmodeus leaning against that pole makes me crack the f*ck up. He’s such an a-hole. I love him.

“What fool summoned you?” lol. T’was your fool of a future husband. Though Alec didn’t actually summon him, he just made the mistake of trusting the fact that Asmodeus won’t find a way to f*ck sh*t up on earth.

Liar liar plants for hire

At least he keeps his promises, I guess.

Yes, Magnus, you go Magnus!

Yes, Alec, I’m sure you’re doing great

So, I know I should care about Clary and the fact that she’s with Jonathan and “evil” and everything but I just can’t bring myself to care because all of this is so boring and staged that it’s very hard to watch.

They are still siblings. I hope the writers didn’t forget that. Then again, I’d rather they forgot that than them willfully writing flirty and romantic scenes for them.

It’s a trap!!

The “Love” counter for this scene is through the roof.

If you keep interrupting Sizzy scenes before they can get anywhere you’ll never get them together

“how do we inject Jonathan with a rock?” a little bit of creativity here, Simon!!

Oh, hey!! They remembered that Cleophas exists!!

Oh no just go break my heart go ahead gosh damn it. Back at it again with the Malec backflashs. I’d be more shocked/touched if we didn’t have the same thing in 2x18 already.

They’re still cute though

The most unrealistic thing about this whole ordeal is that Magnus promptly finds their lock.

The lock is me I am the lock

Oh look, they remembered that Maia exists!!

Oh great is it the Cursed Scene TM?

Yeah it’s really cute haha memories aw bonding HE’S AN ABUSER

Raphael saving the day!!

Loved this scene as a sneak peek still love it now. Finally some quality parabatai moments. I like Jace so much more when he’s not with Clary. And likewise. They bring out the worst in each other I’m sorry.

Everyone saying that Alec isn’t hurting and suffering obviously didn’t watch this scene attentively

Oh okay they didn’t remember Cleophas because they’re too lazy to have her actually appear lol and instead make up some bullsh*t excuse for why she’s not there (of course it could also be a scheduling problem with the actress but…ya know.)

Since when does everyone know that Simon became a daylighter because of Jace?? Didn’t they want to keep it a secret?

Dark!Clary is such a let-down I really expected more. Not just the plot but also the writing is so boring and cliché I just want to skip.

The scene with the dad talk is so cuteeeeee but I really wish they gave us scenes like that when they’re not a flashback in an angsty episode. Still. They’re the softest.

Jonathan calling Jace brother while Jonathan is Clary’s brother and Clary is basically dating Jace. Mmmmmh do these writers love the incest in these books.

Bahahhahahaha yeah. Kidnap the Seelie Queen. Good plan. Considering the track record of this show it’ll probably be super easy.

It’s probably just me but that whole Downworlders turning mundane again stuff is getting really annoying. I’m glad for Raphael since he’s always had a problem with the whole vampirism especially considering he’s Christian. But all those Downworlders turning human one after the other gets boring real fast. Is that really all the writers could think of for a plot for the Downworld? Obviously.

I love me some geeky Sizzy

“Cover as many runes as you can” he said, proceeding to not do it himself

And again with the talking out loud while using the telepathy rings

Oh look a montage of “Malec’s Best Moments”!! In the show, it’s been around 2 months. But I’ll say it’s been 3 years and they’ve come a long way

Jem!!!!!!

Jem is like “what the f*ck, dude?!”

I love Jem he’s the real MVP

Okay I take it back why did you tell him how to do it??

Jem is a lot of things, but mainly he is right.

I’m going to skip over the club scene because I heard some things and I won’t do that to myself

Fancy sword you got there

Don’t do it Magnus;;;

Wow we really gotta thank Asmodeus now, huh?

The sassy and petty way he says “Shadowhunter” cracks me up. I love him as a villain. He could have made this season so much more interesting

Come to Papa!

I’m curious what they’re going to do with this dynamic but knowing these writers I’ll probably be disappointed. I kind of have the feeling that nothing really happened in this episode, plot wise. So 3x20 will probably be a huge mess full of tying up loose ends. Yay.

All in all I really didn’t enjoy this episode. Everything was so messy and then having it stuffed full with problematic bs...it was basically a repetition of 2x18 for Malec and the main storyline was boring and terribly written. I was so hyped for dark!Clary and they did it in the worst and least inspired way possible. I really hope that 3x20 will be better again because damn. That was a let-down.

Again: I really love this show and the characters but the writing has been off more often than it was actually enjoyable. Considering that these people do that for a living, it was a frustrating mess. The acting is the only thing that kind of saves it.

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

To everyone worried that the 2 extra episodes will make it impossible for another network to continue the Shadowhunters series:

Even if they would manage to wrap the current storyline up, there is always a possibility to make up new villains and new problems. Just look at TV series like Supernatural that has been going for what, 15 seasons?? Depending on how the episodes end they might have to do a time jump of a few years but it can always happen that a new problem arises for the characters.

The only way to completely end this series was if all main characters died and the whole world imploded. It’s never impossible to make up new things. There are so many TV series out there (especially in the fantasy genre) that have had like 5 happy endings after a season and then came back with new issues. It’s not impossible. No matter what Freef*rm tries to pull, it doesn’t have to mean that it’s impossible to continue this series. There is always a way.

Keep fighting!!

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

Us: we want Malec kisses :c

Writers: *while writing 3x18* Okay..

Us, in tears: nOt liKe tHaT

[lutavero]

End your relationship. What?

[deamaia]

#i’m fine

[lghtwood-bane]

I can’t lose you too, Alec.

[baneedom]

Stay with me. Okay? Stay with me.

[asmodeusmorelikeassmodeus]

Shadowhunters 3x18 Commentary

Becky is like a Shadowhunters fan who suddenly wakes up in the Shadow World I love her

Shadowhunters actually doing shadow hunting?? Unheard of in this series called “Shadowhunters” but I am HERE for it

Alec is brooding this is not a good sign

Magnus please stop deflecting

When is it not a bad time when Jace comes in during a Malec scene lol

What is that??? A Clace snippet I enjoyed?? Maybe it’s because they’re acting like a couple instead of epically destined lovers for ONCE

“Clave business” Alec you are a terrible liar but I think I’ve already said that last episode

Okay so…I can somehow be okay with Maia forgiving Jordan for what he’s done to her but I am NOT here for anything more than acquaintances happening between these two. Jordan at least WAS an abuser. I feel like the writers forgot that.

Alec doesn’t have time for your bullsh*t, lady

Of course the as*hole desires it, he has his own plans that don’t take place locked up in Edom

“Alexander Gideon Lightwood” it’s Mr. Lightwood for you, Sir.

Man do I love Jack Yang as Asmodeus. He’s amazing.

Asmodeus, Prince of Talking Sh*t

Asmodeus feeding into Alec’s insecurities is a dick move but a smart move. The worst villains are the ones who are smart

“animal feature”?? I mean…yeah, most of them are kind of animal features but which animal has blue skin?

Since this is a plan that would prevent Jonathan from taking over Clary and end the Jonathan-Clary ark for good I am very sure it’s not going to work

Hi Luke!! We all missed you.

I heard that voice crack, Daddario

Kind of asking myself when Jonathan decided he wanted to be edgy and get his ear pierced

It didn’t work??? Colour me surprised!!

I am always here for Head of the Institute Alec it’s one of my favourite forms of Alec

What is this?? Parabatais actually talking?? They’re really doing good on the parabatai scenes these episodes

“hypothetically, if your boyfriend lost his magic and his evil Prince of Hell father demanded you to end your relationship with him in order to give your boyfriend his magic back, would you do it?” – “Asmodeus told you to break up with Magnus??” – “I said ‘hypothetically’!”

Dark!Clary is finally coming! In episode 8 of 12.

I’ve already seen this scene in a sneak peek but can I say again how much I love these Magnus and Maryse interactions? They’re amazing. I can totally see them meet up for monthly dinners or lunches in the future to chat.

Magnus ending the Joceluke ship 2k19

I don’t know what it is but there’s something I don’t like about the new Seelie queen. I can’t quite put my finger on it but something bugs me

When did the Seelie queen ever care about someone dying for her own profit?

Sibling scene!! They are really giving us everything this episode

Alec already had this conversation with himself in his head so many times but we already know that he made a choice for himself

“I’m not the first person he’s loved and I won’t be the last” just break my heart why don’t you

Alec’s silence after Izzy asks if he can recover from it is answer enough

Oh stop it with the flirty scenes between these two why couldn’t you have just let Jordan die or make him leave or whatever

The drunk werewolf cracks me up

I love Becky

I am here for Magnus confiding in Maryse she’s like the mother he never really had since he was a little child

Mothers are always right, Magnus!

“You’re part of the family” *sobs*

Again, Becky is like a Shadowhunters fan who woke up in the Shadow World

“The boss is calling” *cackles*

I gotta repeat myself, I love Becky

Becky, captain of the Sizzy ship

Okay so this whole seeing Jonathan standing there and choosing the dark side thing is actually pretty cool but I can’t stop laughing about Jace with those angel wings like…the symbolism is so in your face that it’s ridiculous

Dark Clary is one the wayyyyyy

What a pretty queen

Parabatai fight scene!! :DD these last two episodes they’ve been more parabatai than all of S2 and S3A combined

Alec nooooooooooooo

Writers, please, no don’t do this just let Jordan leave gosh damn it why would Maia even want him there

Like this they only turn it around and go “well, Maia made the choice!” and act like Jordan is suddenly such a good person because “he would leave, right?? Maia is the one who stopped him!” just. Stop.

It was so close and then the stupid Lanaia had to break into the stupid institute to try to kill stupid Jonathan >:c

“Nothing but darkness” lol foreshadowing

We could have had dark Clary so much earlier and it would have made for a way more interesting plot these last few episodes

Oh no. I know what’s coming and I’m not ready. Please don’t do that.

No nononononononononononononononononononononono

“This isn’t you. You’re not this selfish” THANK YOU. This right here is the reason Magnus is going to find out about this whole bullsh*t because he’s not stupid. And especially when Asmodeus suddenly shows up like “heard your boyfriend broke up with you :ccc so sad :ccc”

I mean…yeah, Alec is good at pretending and picking the things to say that hurt and make it seem like his decision but after everything they’ve been through? If I didn’t know about the deal with Asmodeus I’d say that Alec is highly out of character here.

These last seconds of Magnus begging for Alec to stay just rip my heart out and trample on it then set it on fire

And you can see that it almost keeps Alec from going through with it

The music suddenly stopping when Alec goes outside is just so. It’s like Magnus’ whole world briefly stopped.

Aswufwjdasjdaosidjdfjfslksaklsa I am ready for Asmodeus doing his sh*t on earth finally we have an interesting villain
