ashley / 27 / academic doctor / black/nigerian usamerican / cis woman (she/her pronouns). i want to know why celebrities have so much money, but still show up to red carpets looking awful.
i love how many different authors are named & shamed in the notes on this post. may i recommend two goodreads reviews that made the corresponding twitter authors leave twitter:
goodreads user dathomira on SILK FIRE by Zabe Ellor (review continues on into the first few comments)
goodreads user Hannah on RUTHLESS GODS by Emily Duncan (also continues in the first comment)
good news for book enjoyers! goodreads user dathomira has returned to sing the praises of WRATH GODDESS SING by Maya Deane. as always, the review continues in the comments.
so what conclusions are you drawing from your alec vs alexander post?
the thing that is stated in all three posts: ‘alexander’ is only used to address alec when magnus is talking to him, magnus does not use it to talk about him with others.
the great alec v. alexander debate is over: final series roundup
what up, it’s almost been a year since the 3A version of this post and more than a year since the S1-S2 version. so with no thanks to freeform, netflix, and constantin, here are the final numbers and examples of when magnus uses ‘alec’ versus ‘alexander’. the same contextual cues still hold up! magnus only uses ‘alexander’ when talking directly to alec. magnus still primarily uses ‘alec’ when talking about him to other people or when a situation is tense between them.
alexander count in 3B: 16
alexander total: 52 + 16 = 68
alec count in 3B: 12
alec total for the series: 35 + 12 = 47
how many times magnus has said some variant of alec’s name in the series: 115

[to alec] i know. i know, alexander.
3.15
[to alec] alexander, i appreciate the hospitality, but doesn’t the clave have rules against downworlders living here?
[to underhill] ‘i love alec, but these screens are giving me migraines.’
[to alec] alexander, if this is about what were were talking about earlier, i was wrong.
3.16
[to alec] i’m a lot of things right now, alexander.
[to alec] alexander!
[to alec] alexander, what-
3.17

[to alec] alec!

[to alec] i’m fine, alexander.
[to maryse] i’m still adjusting to life as a mundane and alec knew i could learn from your shining example.
[to maryse] and i had a drunken emotional breakdown in front of alec last night.
[to alec] i can’t lose you too, alec.
3.19

[to jem] but alec is different.

[to asmodeus] alec was gonna ask me to marry him.

[to alec, w/ izzy, clary, jace] i love you too, alexander.
3.21
[to alec] alexander!
3.22
[to lorenzo] alec told me how helpful and supportive you were.
[to alec, in front of you, me, your mother, and god] alexander gideon lightwood.
To you, an insurmountable evil is a world overrun by demons. To me, it’s the mass murder of all creatures with demon blood. Any wish that has the power to cause that kind of destruction is not a gift. It’s a curse. I’m glad it’s gone.
