#SaveShadowhunters ♡ a Jewish main character
↳ Simon Lewis is not only Jewish rep but also Latinx rep, a combination that isn’t very common on TV. His faith is never ridiculed and is shown to be an important part of his life.
Here’s a quick list of ways to help Shadowhunters get renewed!
I’m not very big on fandom things, so bear with me. Months ago, I created this playlist on Spotify with songs that touch my Malec-strings. I’m here to share it with you lot, in hopes you all can cry at them with me or even point out other songs which you consider Malec-y.
This is it: the malec playlist :)
Below, you have a list of all the songs, some with excerpts cos I’m a bitch for lyrics that remind me of my favorite couple. It’s a very eclectic playlist, you see.
[Btw, some things might be off or wrong cos not only is English not my first language I’m feeling too lazy to search for spelling and etc, sorry >D]
So, we’ve got...
- All of Me, John Legend
- Little Do You Know, Alex & Sierra (due to this amazing fanvid)
- Grow Old with Me, Tom Odell (cRY)
- “Read All About It, Pt. III”, Emeli Sandé :’)
- Nobody Wants to be Lonely, Rick Martin & Christina Aguilera [sERIOUSLY, look: your heart is cold and lost the will to love, like a broken arrow (...) time is precious and it's slipping away, and I've been waiting for you all of my life (...) can you hear my voice, do you hear my song, it's a seranade, so your heart can find me, ohh. and suddenly you're flying down the stairs into my arms, baby, ohh (me singing and crying this sHIT IS GOOD)]

- And Then You, Greg Laswell (seeeeeee: and how my dreams they spin me 'round, and how my dreams they let me down, and how my thoughts they spin me 'round, and how my thoughts they let me down... then there's you, then there's you, then there's you, then there's you...)
- Duet (feat. Stephanie Briggs), Penny and Sparrow (ok I’m sorry but tHIS ONE IS GOLD: because I’ve seen you, and I know you, and I’m not going anywhere)

- Old Skin, Ólafur Arnalds (I’ve heard this song first in an Evak fanvid, but if fits bOTH so well...)
- I Choose You, Sara Bareilles (#ImmortalHusbands)
- I’m Yours, Alessia Cara (BUT HEAR ME OUT!!! She says: cause I’ve had my heart broken before, and I promised I would never let me hurt anymore. but I tore down my walls, and opened my doors, and made room for one. so baby I’m yours, and honestly the whole song is so dhjfhjfbjhbfj I cry a little)
- Do I Wanna Know?, Arctic Monkeys (I’ve taken this one from another Malec playlist on spotify, Take You As You Are, it fits pretty well lol)
- Certain Things, James Arthur (this is such a fanvid song lol)
- Love You Any Less, Rag’n’Bone Man (mAN, another one from Take You As You Are, and it’s so so so so touching, seriously; listen to it while you watch the 2x15 scene ;D)
- Underneath, Adam Lambert
- OBVI: The Other Side, Ruelle (2x18 break-up vibes)
- Brave, Riley Pearce (yes, the one from their last 2x18 scene, but just listen to it)
- Vulnerable, The Saturdays (same vein as “I’m Yours”, very Magnus-y)
- Surrender, Natalie Taylor (since we’re talking about Malec-break up, look at this fanvid)
- Beautiful Mess, Kristian Kostov (another amazing fanvid :D)
- Run Away With Me, Carly Rae Jepsen (such a fun song)
- Nobody ‘Til You, Lindsay Lohan (I mean: 'til you I was nothing but lonely nights, there was nothing but sad goodbyes for me to fall through. come true, my dreams are awakening, somebody is making me the only one in the room. what nobody could do, nobody 'til you)
- Hurry Up!, Superfruit (I’ve seen this one in a very cute gifset, but for the life of me can’t I find it D:, but the bit was this one: hey baby, I've never been in love, but I wanna be, I wanna be, so hurry up)
- Never Gonna Change, Broods (I’ve always loved this song, and it made me really happy to be able to add it to this list)
- Wildfire, SYML (HONESTLY SERIOUSLY FULL-HEARTLY nothing is as beautiful as the love in this song. Someone on tumblr once pointed out how Malec-y it is, and just- listen to its softeness)
- Turning Page, Sleeping At Last (#weddingfeels, also: nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart?????? I mean, shit!)
- In the Name of Love, Martin Garrix (heart emojis)
- Venus, Sleeping At Last (after a while, I thought I’d never find you. I convinced myself that I would never find you. when suddenly I saw you. at first I thought you were a constellation. I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation. you’re as beautiful as endless, you’re the universe I’m helpless in)
- Only You, Cheat Codes & Little Mix (dUDE)
- Atlas: Two, Sleeping at Last (first time I heard this song I couldn’t stop thinking of Malec and /sigh/, help: I know exactly how the rule goes, put my mask on first. no, I don’t want to talk about myself- tell me where it hurts. I just want to build you up, build you up til you’re good as new. and maybe one day I will get around to fixing myself too ring any bells?)
- Bloom, Troye Sivan (hueheuheuheueh)
- I Found, Amber Run
- Saturn, Sleeping At Last (crying forever)
- Stronger, Proper Gentleman & Mr. Gabriel (mAN, woMAN: I am not here to stay, I am not far away, and I can be with you if you need me. I wish that I could say I feel your pain, lost in your shame, and the hardest part is believing... you are stronger than you look in the picture. you are brave, even as you are falling apart)
- Don’t Forget About Me, CLOVES (played during 2x5, Jocelyn’s funeral)
- Show Me What I’m Looking For, Carolina Liar
- When You Look Me In The Eyes (I can’t access the Jonas Brothers’ version, maybe it’s cos my spotify is Brazilian or something, so this is a cover, but dANG this song)
- Fear of the Water, SYML (ok, listen!!! so much sense!!! and also watch this beautiful incredible fanvid)
- Take Care, Florence + the Machine (Drake’s is also so touching and soft and beautiful, yes, but I kinda like the violins in this one lol)
- Dressed In Black, Sia (added yesterday, but everyweek it seems I find another song for this playlist-- if you’ve never heard it, take a look at this chorus: you found me dressed in black, hiding way up at the back. life had broken my heart into pieces. you took my hand in yours, you started breaking down my walls, and you covered my heart in kisses. I thought life passed me by, missed my tears, ignored my cries. life had broken my heart, my spirit. and then you crossed my path, you quelled my fears, you made me laugh. then you covered my heart in kisses)
That’s it, so far. I hope listening to it is an eye-opening experience as it always is for me, and we can talk about it all in caps? That’d be nice.
Also, #SaveShadowhunters :D
EDITED, October 13th.
- Telepathy, Christina Aguilera, from the Get Down, which should also have been saved (yes, it’s a Thizzee song, but dAMN)
- Never Enough, Loren Allred, from the Greatest Show Man (another musical, and also another dAMN, just listen to it)
- Come What May, from yet aNOTHER musical and also from Glee (yes, both versions) cos both are amazing and deserve to be listened to always.
