@biconicfinn, @holygayrchie and I talking on the rewrite server is.... something else. 

I swear this is a serious project.

Welcome to the wiki for the Shadowhunters 2.0 fic by@enkelimagnus, based on the Freeform TV series Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments! We're a collaborative community website that anyone, including you, can build and expand. Wikis like this one depend on readers getting involved and adding content. Click the "ADD NEW PAGE" or "EDIT" button at the top of any page to get started!

So this is the surprise.... 

We made a WIKI. 

A whole wikia, for the rewrite. You’re welcome to go nuts and go through it and look at the pages. some characters that aren’t in season 1 are already included. 

it will be updated with chapters airing!

The weekend following the last chapter posting (July 13th-14th) I will be answering ANY AND ALL questions regarding ANY aspect of the rewrite!

- decisions regarding some discourse subjects - plot stuff - future questions (though I will keep spoilers out of this one) - alternate castings - all ship questions, all of them - worldbuilding - literally anything

I haven't read all of the wiki page (shitty wifi connection lol) but you have me super interested in Magnus' past names! how did you come up with them? What are their back ground stories if you have them?

you have no idea how I was waiting for someone to ask me about Magnus’ names. 

Okay, so, I did some research. I had already decided that his step dad was Dutch and Christian, that his mom had been converted and given a new name but was Muslim and Indonesian. 

So I dug around for some info about 17th century Dutch naming practices, last names, etc, and found that back then last names were patronyms? So Magnus’ “last name” would have to be the name of his stepfather, followed by one of the suffixes that said “son of”. 

Then did some more research on 17th century first names, and found Andries, which I thought worked really well. So I had Magnus’ original name be “[Something] Andrieszen”. 

Did more research and came up with Christian Andrieszen because you know, a Dutch colonialist who helped forcefully convert the Indonesian population would have given his son a very christian name. 

Then I asked @magnuslightwoodalecbane, resident beta for Season 2, and Dutch speaker. I was told to add to the Dutch-ness of it all by adding an a to Christian Andrieszen. 

So now, Magnus’ birth name, his baptismal name, was Christiaan Andrieszen. His father was Andries Willemsen (again, very Dutch name), and his mother had been named Aaliyah, but re-named Jaana (again, Dutch, converstion, etc). 

And I thought that Magnus’ mom would have given him a Muslim and Indonesian name. So I did some research, then asked @biconicfinn and ended up with Noor, which means light. 

Sooooo. that’s how I came up with Magnus’ names. 

Christiaan Andrieszen, Noor, Magnus Bane. 

The Dutch name the Dutch colonizer forced upon him, the Muslim name his Muslim mother gifted him, and the name he chose.
