Izzy Lighwood and Simon - Shadowhunters relationships

This is the start of a series on Simon and Izzy Lightwood as I will do a deep dive into the issues that they face as they come into their ship in the later seasons of the show. So things like being the child of an alcoholic and having to hide your lifestyle as Simon just wants to be a normal young adult in the books he wants to go to college and get his degree and play his music. In the show it is he and Maurine in the books it is a full band and they eat at a restaurant dock that is on the docks. But this would be another post as who owns the restaurant becomes important in the show and the books. Izzy comes from a completely different world being home-schooled and doted on by her siblings completely whereas where her other siblings had to compete for attention from their parents. Whereas  Simon was given everything he needed and was willing to work for what he wanted in life.   Simon Lewis comes to the Shadoworld as mundane, through wanting to protect Clary when she finds out she is

Jace Herondale - profile into adoption and family connections in the Shadow world.

This is a post that will focus on Jace Lightwood, the adopted brother of Izzy and Alec, we see that he is treated differently and I may depending on readership, do another deep dive into his mindset so let me know either by email or the comments if you would like me to do a deep dive into his mindset throughout the show and how it relates to Clary and how it changes over time and how he matures into himself.   So we see that Jace was adopted into the Lightwood family at the age of ten yet we see that this isn't the truth of the matter and we are led to believe that Valentine actually rescued him as a baby and saved his life, we see this when Magnus and Valentine's brain is swapped and Magnus is in Valentine's body and he is trying to make people see that he is actually Magnus, he tells Alec details that only Magnus could know about their travels and dates.  We see that Jace tells Alec after he goes to Jace about his concerns not to believe him as Valentine could have invade

Simon and the mark of Cain

 This is a variation from the books as Clary was the one that gave Simon the mark of Cain, in the show, it is the Seely queen. ( The Queen of the faeries) This is such a great variation and ties into the Relationship in the show that shows the complexity of this world, it is a great example of all the legends that are true. The mark of Cain has been shown in various ways in media as well as in history books as we are starting to see most legends are based on some type of truth or a person's misfortune. We see that the Seely queen thinks that this is a blessing, but it is a curse, as again my lens is a disability and it seems that people who see people living on a government income is a great way to live, yet it isn't as most people with a disability live in poverty or have to rely on charities at time's weather that be family or friends or formal charities. The formality of this ceremony sees that they take this mark seriously. The history of this mark is that it activat

The Mundane's guide to the Shadow world down worlders Vampire's and the links to disablity.

  Down worlders    These are Supernatural beings and hybrid creatures who inhabit the Shadow world is the widely used term to refer to beings that are said to be part human and part demon or have a disease of demonic origin. Downworlders are even said to be the demonic counterpart of Shadowhunters, who are part human and part angel. They include werewolves, vampires, warlocks, and fairies, they have counted as denizens of heaven. This post will focus on Vampires and their role in the Shadow world and how they can operate in this world and adapt, we will also look at the links to disability in this type of down worlder.  So generally vampires   also known as the Children of the Night, are a species.  Downworlders along with werewolves, and vampires are humans infected with a demon disease. However, unlike the former, vampires are considered "undead".  Being undead,, they have been brought back to life or "sired," by another vampire.  In the Shadow World, they live in

( please be aware that this post contains a discussion around family trauma and eating disorders) I have written about the lightwood being a dysfunctional family even in a Fantasy show and this show during its run on free-to-air TV in the USA and now on Netflix ( depending on the country and if you have access to a Vpn (a virtual private network). It didn't shy away from talking about difficult real-world issues. Such as Addiction, Same-sex relationships, politics, and even trauma. Izzy Lightwood her full name is Isabelle Sophia Lightwood, is the youngest of the genetically related lightwood family, siblings. They also have Alec (Alexander Gideon lightwood) Max lightwood and Jace that is Adopted into the family at the age of 10 and become Alec's Parabaiti.  However, this series will focus on the show character played wonderfully by, Emeraude Toubia   Emeraude Toubia - Wikipedia   Her character in the show about the lightwood being a dysfunctional family is that she fits into b

So this is a post that I have really wanted to do for a while as we start to see Alec stand up to people in his life and standing up to your family is the hardest thing that you will do especially as a person with a disablity. As they want to protect you but you want to be challenged yourself to live your best life. However what that life is is different for everyone even without a disablity due to the decisions they made and the circumstance's that they where born into. Alec didn't make the decision for himself at what he was to be in life he was essentially born to be a Shadowhunter and that is his world. He even states directly that he will never understand "Mundane's," as his world that he has been brought up in is the Shadoworld.  We start to see the disapproval of his family as yes it would have been better to call off the Wedding to not embarrass  Lydia and his family, however we see that Alec really up until the last minute does believe he is doing the
