Mangus and the Box part one

So I am still in the process of unpacking Mangus from Shadow hunters as he is a very different character in the books, movie, and tv adaptions and we see that in the TV adaptations this was due to copyright issues and licensing to use content from the books as well as rating issues as we really can’t have Magnus an 800-year-old warlock dating a 16-year-old shadow hunter so it made sense to make sure that they aged up the characters and Harry Shum jr will always be my Magnus. I have only watched certain bits of the movie so we need to be aware of this but I see that Mangus is very open but very private at the same time I talked about the box before and how it contains memories of past lovers and we see that this becomes an issue for Alec as it reminds him that he will die and Mangus will not and this is very difficult to accept, and it is very similar to when people with disability’s use things that aren’t considered to be “age-appropriate,” but it needs appropriate to their needs suc

Mia and what happens when you have a lack of support part 2

  Mia and what happens when you have a lack of support part 2 We are now going to do a deep dive into Mia and what happens when you have a lack of support. We see that she is strong and independent but also that she didn’t get there alone and has gone through a lot. From her teen years until now she wasn’t cared for until Luke found her where she was found bitten by a werewolf (Jordan) and left to turn. This is difficult for her to process as it was her boyfriend (Jordan) who got bitten as well and he didn’t know how to tell her so simply ghosted her (he stopped communicating with her) and left her to turn alone. Even though he had stopped speaking to her, he started following and essentially stalking her until Mia told him to leave her alone. Jordan only actually left Mia alone once he had attacked her and bitten her then left her to turn. We see that she is strong and independent but also that she didn’t get there alone and has gone through a lot. From her teen years until no

Clary and Mangus a look at what would happen if this was the real world.

This is going to be an interesting post to write and I am going to expect a fair bit of debate around it as we see that Mangus agreed to the Memory wipes and Joslyn paid him for it. So this starts to pose a very interesting question about what happens when you overprotect someone because of your actions. (1) Shadowhunters Reduced BGMusic 01x01 - Magnus erase Clary's memories - YouTube As we see that Joslyn had a way to protect herself but not a way to protect Clary and this is very similar to when you are working with a person with a disability as we need to be challenged and protected at the same time. I see that this is a good thing to be protected and challenged. But Clary is at a serious loss when we see that she discovered she is a shadow hunter and doesn’t know who to trust or to go to for help as we see that Luke the person who she sees as her father figure isn’t who he says he is and that we see that she is tolerated but not accepted as she wasn’t brought up as part

 Shadowhunter's other relationships and how they relate to the real world  Magnus and Alec, there has been a lot written about them both here and on other sights. And how it is a great portrayal of respect in relationships. Yet people have recently pointed out that at times there are other relationships that are real but not as healthy. Both in the books and in the TV series.  So this leads to what is a healthy relationship? and what that looks like in reality. This is something that not a lot of people are taught about as we see relationships on screen that are filled with drama, but in reality, these aren't healthy. They are quite toxic and they can be quite abusive not just physically but mentally.  A great relationship is based on respect, communication, and boundaries that keep evolving. One major part of a healthy relationship is consent. So what does that look like? This depends on the age of the person but not only the age but the capabilities of the person do they have
