I think the shadowhunters tv show permanently damaged peoples perception of the lightwood siblings bc everyone seems to think alec is this emo insecure boy with hot confident siblings when in reality jace spends 6 books going "what if i'm irredeemable and evil i need to kill myself 1000 times" and isabelle is desperately trying to cover up the damage her fathers infidelity did to her perception of love and relationships with a male manipulator persona meanwhile alec is just like "ok so obviously you people need help but my rich hot boyfriend is flying me to france so i dont have time to worry about all that rn. bye 👋"
