Annie in wonderland

[i] In the books in a previous series called the internal devices, we say that there were two courts in the faerie realm they were the Seelie and is a much more dignified court that resembled the Victorian court of old and the Unseelie court is very reminiscent of something that is found across many cultures called the wild hunt. This is called by many names but given that we are focusing on the Shadowhunters world font is a punishment for people in the Seelie realm, which has several realms but one of its main features in that time moves differently there.   We also see that the shadow hunters have a saying that the difference between the Seelie and Unseelie courts is that the Unseelie court does evil in the open, and the Seelie court hides it. [ii] Shadowhunters treat this realm as very dangerous as in the series some Seelies have a childlike appearance however they are ancient beings not mortal but like many being in this world and even popular culture and mythology they are

I have used Shadowhunters as I see more and more parallels to disability in this world, especially among the down-worlders. But I am talking more generally about disability, so the things that people say really minimize the impact of the disability on your life and even demonize you in the process. I see this in Magnus from shadow hunters mental health, that he is thought to be a demon and that all worlders ( for those who don’t follow the blog are a creature that is half human and half mundane, an offensive   term for humans that can see the shadow world depending o

  This is going to be an interesting post given that Magnus doesn’t seem to have a lot of respect for Jace at times and Jace seems to be quite disrespectful in the way that he sees himself and Alec as a package deal we see that he has no hesitation in barging in when Mangus and Alec are having some much fought for time alone,   something that we see is a continuing theme as I realize it is their jobs but at the same time, we see that it’s something that becomes quite complex where Magnus needs to start to understand these relationships a lot better as in a way Jace and Alec are a package deal.      We can see how annoyed Mangus and Alec are at this moment as they were only just starting to discuss their relationship at this stage we start to understand that Alec has never had a relationship due to thinking he could have what he wanted in a relationship so chose duty over his relationship prospects as he lives in a very conservative world.   Shadowhunters 2x08 ~ Alec asks Maryse t

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

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

This is a continuation of a series I am doing on the relationships in the shadow world, as I see that it can cause trauma and help heal trauma as we see that it's not only the young shadow hunters that grow up and face their reality it is everyone in the Shadow world. As well as the fact that the Show and books have left a lasting legacy, not just fandom but the "Shadow family," I admit that I am not the typical age for Young Adult content but I grew up with the books and the reality is they and the shows dealt with a lot of real-world issues, and we are finding that a lot of people like young adult content in books and shows anyway as it is a way to connect with the younger people in there lives. If you are a part of the Shadow family feel free to comment about what your take is on the way that I am seeing the characters and how it relates to "reality," whatever that be for you.  Alec asks Maryse for the Lightwood ring | Shadowhunters 3x16 - YouTube I love this

  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

 So this is going to be possibly another series of posts about this relationship as it does progress and show's how making decisions on behalf of others can lead to unexpected consequences this starts with Simon trying to protect Clary as they are young adults and he knows nothing about this world and because he can't see what Clary can see he tries to protect her as the assumptions is that she is on something and this is creating problems.  Yet when he discovers she can see the "Shadow world," and he can't he is concerned as a good friend should be yet Jace can show Simon what Clary can see in later episodes in this season.  Jess Penner - "Don't Come Over" Music | Shadowhunters Season 1, Episode 1 | Freeform - YouTube It does create massive problems for the Shadowhunters, due to her ( in the first series) not realizing she is the daughter of one of their own who went rogue. Thinking that some agreements that were made are, a little too lenient on th

( 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

  Alec in the beginning really doesn't like Clary as he sees her as a direct threat to the Shadoworld as she has been hidden from this world by her mother and this is an issue as she is the daughter, of Valentine one of the evil Shadowhunter's that saw the head of the Shadowhunter's the clave, as failing in there duties to protect the world from demons and this to him included downworlders. So half mundane creatures, or have demon blood. So creatures like fairies, werewolves, warlocks, and vampires.  Valentine made a movement within the shadow hunters' world called the circle and recruited people to his cause. He saw that the "downworlders," were a threat and needed to be eliminated.  Clary's mother was married to him and didn't see the signs of as they point out in the show him being a psychopath.  So Alec from day one sees that she is a threat because she is Valentine's daughter, and his parabaiti, Jace is infatuated with him to the detriment of
