Malec's firsts time
I know everyone is staying this but guess I just wanted to add my opinion to the pile.
I love malec, I think the shows done a great job showing two very independent functioning people that are both awesome in their own ways. Their relationship is so refreshing for tv cause they have doubts, worries and problems but they CHOOSE to work on their relationship and to be together. There’s communication and support from each other.
2x07 was the first time they didn’t communicate effectively
1) Alec was nervous cause it was his first time with anyone and I don’t care what people say it’s a big deal cause it’s a new level of intimacy for anyone. I think part of him was worried cause he knew magnus was experienced and just knew that was the next step to take. So I think part of him really wanted to take this new experience on with Magnus, someone he trusted but also part of him to just wanted to get it over - like so many people in the same situation - so it was done cause let’s face it your first time is ever gonna be your best time.
2) Magnus was worried cause he didn’t want to mess it things up. He wanted to take his time with relationship cause he knew it was gonna be different from the rest. I love how they show Magnus as a powerful, all knowing warlock but when it comes to his relationship with Alec he’s vulnerable and hesitant. Magnus never takes the next step first out of the two of them, it’s always Alec leading the way.
So where did the scene go wrong? To me it just felt so forced. Alec pushing himself to behaviour not as he normally does and Magnus nervous and hesitant of this step because of his fears of just being used and to me he didn’t look like entirely wanted to do it, not yet at least.
It didn’t feel like a Malec moment. I thought Alec would initiate it but Magnus would guide it, take it slow. Instead it was rushed and wasn’t really talked about. When Magnus said he was vulnerable I thought that was his way of saying I’m not ready yet
When 2x08 came I thought we'ld pick up where Magnus had ‘noped’ out of the situation and maybe Alec would have made left feeling embarrassed and a bit rejected but then magnus would go after him and say something like:
Magnus: 'I do want you Alexander, I just want that intimacy to come when we’re both ready’ Alec: *mumbles* Magnus: *holds Alec’s hand* 'and I’m not ready yet’ And then after that it could have been a slower build up until they are both ready and comfortable enough to do it. Cause let’s face it just because you dated 7,000 people doesn’t mean you can’t be nervous for the first time with somebody new.
Instead we got none of that close intimacy that warms the heart, and then it was barely acknowledged and it was Alec’s first time! There was no discussion! What…. I’m so annoyed cause it was such a big let down to the characters and all the amazing scenes done before them and it was a big step in the relationship.
Sorry for the long post
OOC (???) IsabelleXAlec Scene Shadowhunters2X07
Wow so this post will be my first original content but here goes: I have seen several people comment on the scene between Isabelle and Alec where they discuss Alec having sex with Magnus. Some people are saying it is OCC for both characters. I would have to disagree and here is why: I have a sister and we are VERY close. Lived in the same house for 21 years and talk almost everyday via the phone. At age 31, I finally told my sister I was asexual. Being the heterosexual person she is (i still love her though), she said it may be because I just have not been with the right person. I told her I had not been with anyone, I was a virgin. She was shocked, asked about all my previous relationships, etc. Even with our close relationship my sister never knew. We had talked tons of times about previous break-ups and relationships but never about that. Maybe because to be uninterested in sex in our society is so stigmatizing, but it still never came up. My sister was very understanding but since that day we have never talked about it again and she is still the ONLY person who knows. So no I do not feel it was OOC for Izzy to not know Alec was a virgin. She understood him to be inexperienced, but in our society a 23 year old handsome man is just never thought of as a virgin. So I just wanted to tell my story to clear up what I feel is a misconception about this particular scene (if I have any followers who will read it). :)
