The first 45 minutes of the finale is just going to be Alec being a groomzilla and everyone else looking for Lorenzo 😂🦎

Honestly I'd die if someone taps the glass of the lizard tank like people do at the zoo!

I have never loved Clary. I have liked her but I have never loved her as a character. But after the finale... I feel like all of these traits of hers finally came together when she killed Jonathan.

And not just her positive traits. Not just her selflessness, her creativity, her vulnerability, her honesty. Because she was all those things in that moment. She was honest, telling Jonathan how much she wanted him and a family. She was vulnerable, not even attempting to hide her desperation to save her loved ones or her fear of failure or her internal anguish that this is what her life has come to - she had everything and now she has to give it all up. She was creative in how she handled Jonathan. And she was selfless, sacrificing her sight to save her loved ones. 

 But she was also impulsive again. She didn’t look to find another way. And she was too self sacrificial for her own good - just like Alec when he devastatingly broke up with Magnus filled with good intention even though it ruined him, just like Magnus who continuously gives up parts of himself, his magic, his future, his life, for people who will not respect him. 

And I love her. Oh my. She is imperfect and great and she is still impulsive and still too self sacrificial but she is kind and creative and honest and vulnerable... 

Thank you Clary. And thank you to Kat for her incredible performance.

My 3x20 Malec prediction (warning for potential book-based spoilers)

So, I still haven’t had a chance to go through my big mega-speculation post and tally up my hits and misses. There have been a lot of moments where I got fairly close to the mark but wasn’t entirely accurate (frex: Alec’s DID make a deal with Asmodeus to get Magnus’s magic back and it DID result in Asmodeus escaping his banishment, but undoing the banishment wasn’t actually Asmodeus’s price for restoring Magnus’s magic or the result of the Malec separation.)

Still, going into the finale, I have a suspicion of how it’s going to play out, so I’m going to document it to see if any of it pans out.

For those of you who are new and don’t really know me, this is just a game I play with myself, not anything I take very seriously. I don’t mind being wrong when it happens, except for those times when I feel like it would have made a better story if I’d been right (Robert Lightwood, I’m looking at YOU.) Sometimes I hit it precisely on the head (I predicted Magnus’s deal with Asmodeus after 3x07 aired) and sometimes I’m WAY off the mark (*sigh* my whole Aldertree/Sebastian theory.) Take it with a grain of salt.

Under a cut for potential book-based spoilers.

So, 3x20 is titled “City of Glass”, which is the title of one of the books, and I think we need to take some of our cues from there where Malec is concerned. Obviously, they’ve already had their Alec-coming-out-via-big-public-snog moment back in season 1, but there’s another semi-iconic Malec moment we haven’t seen play out on the show, and I think this is where we’ll get some variation of it.

The good news is, I’m pretty sure Malec are going to reconcile BEFORE what would have been the s3/s4 hiatus, had the show not been cancelled. They weren’t going to leave us with Malec broken up, thank God.

We know from the promo that demons are going to attack Alicante, probably because Jonathan manages to open the rift to Edom with the Morningstar blade.

When demons attacked Alicante in the book CoG, Magnus and Alec were estranged. They encountered each other in the midst of the chaos and reconciled while fighting demons together. It’s where Magnus tells Alec he loves him for the first time, i.e. “you stupid Nephilim, yadda yadda yadda”

I think we’re going to that battlefield reunion in this episode, and it’s going to be all sorts of fun, because by the time it happens, Asmodeus will have revealed his ulterior motives to Magnus, Magnus will have put together all the pieces and realized what Alec did, and if he does call Alec a “stupid Nephilim” (which is not actually a line I’m in love with and I sort of hope we don’t get it because it will probably feel shoehorned in like a lot of the iconic book moments they’ve been trying to force this season) it will probably be for 1) thinking Magnus would choose his magic over Alec and 2) being a dumbass for giving Asmodeus his way out of Edom.

So they’re going to argue and hash it out and reconcile while fighting off demons, and then we’re going to get a battlefield proposal. Possibly not intentionally, possibly Alec just blurts it out that he had wanted to marry Magnus, but either way, it’s going to be GLORIOUS.

And then it will be agony, because Magnus will be taken to Edom, either by force or by sacrificing himself because it’s the only way to seal the rift (I really hope by force, because I’m tired of Magnus sacrificing himself, y’all.) We know from BTS shots of filming the last two eps that he’s in Edom with Lilith at some point, and we know from the season promo that there’s a moment when Alec is kneeling, looking at the sky, devastated, so I think that’s the cliffhanger we were going to be left on.

But yeah. Battlefield proposal. You heard it here first.

Can someone please tell me why I'm not allowed to fight Asmodeus in the back alley of a Denny's?

  He needs to catch these hands🤜🤜
