I really want a book about Alec and Magnus. Just them, no one else. Just Alec and Magnus living their lifes with there kids!!!

why series malec is a perfect parallel with book malec

¡contains spoilers from every type of the shadowhunters chronicles!

today i would like to show why the relationship of alec and magnus in the series is a perfect representation of the malec that we know in the books.

we all can agree that the series change a lot of important stuff from the books and take it own path in a lot of things but malec.

to understand this better please think as series malec as an "what if book malec first meet years later" (obviously cuz series!alec is what? 23? and series!magnus looks like he stop aging at 25?, and book!alec was 17 when he first appears and book!magnus looks 19)

the first meet in the book is a lot more peaceful than in the series, magnus is throwing a party and our shadowhunters go there to free clary's mind block, is a introductory scene to the downworld basically, the fun part come when our shadowhunters are leaving and magnus winks to alec and says "call me" and speechless alec has to be move by jace cuz he's so flustered, of course this is harmless flirting from magnus but alec is everything, to alec is the first time someone notices him for himself more than just jace and izzy sibling. in comparison to the series where we can see how magnus is a little more serious about his intentions and alec is also more put together, all this because both of them are more mature.

from this point the series takes a different turn from the books, while in the books (the bane chronicles/city of ashes) we see how alec is the one to do the first move while keeping it quiet and magnus being reluctant at first only to be the one to fall the fastest (the plot line of alec having a crush on jace ends in city of glass and only serves to help alec realize or clear his feelings for magnus) in summary, the books takes us through the shy beginning of this relationship and it first problems (closeted alec keeping magnus as a secret + alec's crush on jace)

in the other hand, the series show this kinda slow burn, angst, mutual pining, (and a easy ending to the jace crush plot line) we have a magnus being sure of what he wants while alec is trying to fix everyone's mistakes and not knowing what to do with his feelings.

why this happen? why is so different but so right?

here's the answer, the alec that we get to know in the books is a wallflower that still believes in love, a social awkward boy that has the opportunity to know what a relationship is at the perfect moment and wants to give it a try, while the series alec feels like he lost that opportunity and is shutting himself off whenever the chance of changing that happens, even if this alec feels attracted to magnus instantly, he doesn't know what to do and is no longer brave enough to fight for it, if it wasn't because of magnus not giving up and izzy being the amazing sister that she is, our series alec would have never get to know what love is.

what i'm trying to say is that series!malec is beautifully portrayed and it carried the show.

(i can do another part analyzing different scenes with it equivalent in the books if there's people interested, there's so much to talk and i can go for days if necessary)

sorry for any mistakes, english is not my first language.

this one is going to strike a weak heart

"I don't think I can live without you" ~

"All I care about is how you feel" ~

"Look what I have waiting for me" ~

magnus and alec are the kings of iconic lines

This is exactly what I was thinking

I spy with my little eye TOOTHBRUSHES! 😬

Who uses the white one and who uses the blue one? 😂

*staring intensifies* no watermark and no bubbles on patreon

Me watching the show before reading the books: Talented, Brilliant, Incredible, Amazing, Showstopping, Spectacular, Never The Same, Totally Unique, Completely Not Ever Been Done Before.

Me watching the show after reading the books: What the fuck is this shit?! What the fuck?!

My type ?

Cat eyes. Sexy. Magic. charismatic. confident

fuck I don't control myself anymore

I love them

The Cat King, from the Dead Boy Detectives show :

Magnus Bane, from the Shadowhunters show :

Edwin, from the Dead Boy Detectives show :

Alec, from the Shadowhunters show :

Catwin ship, from the Dead Boy Detectives show :

Malec ship, from the Shadowhunters show :

Me :

Why ship Edwin with Charles when the Cat King fucking exists ?! Edwin & Charles also literally remind me a little the case of the duo Alec & Jace :

I would like to point out that I have nothing at all against the Edwin & Charles ship and that they could surely work completely in the future if Charles ever returns Edwin's feelings with certainty (I also think that they will surely be canon in the future if continuation of the netflix show there is). I even like them a little. But I definitely don't feel the spark between them, compared to Edwin with the Cat King... Sorry not Sorry !
