Trigger warnings for talking about self-harm This is a continuation of the series about Jace and Alec as I seemed to find that I didn't think I had a good handle on this relationship. It seems to be so complex and again when Clary comes into the world things change for everyone so we see that Jace was in with Izzy about the mission to save Melorne a Seeley  from the city of bones, and we see that Alec can't control his anger towards Jace as Part of the vow that they took was, to be honest with each other and Jace has been lying to Alec he has been going behind his back putting the institute at risk and at this point, Lydia is in charge so Alec is feeling frustrated lost, and angry at his closest friend essentially ditching him for a girl that he barely knows. We see that Jace knows that Alec was in love with him and that under all of that masking he is scared. However, this is the point where Alec is straight down the line and will act by the Law as we know that the shadow hunt

The Shadow world and Mental Health. Alec Lightwood.

   Warning this contains a discussion about self-harm and attempted suicide.   So this is a continuation of the posts about Alec and his Mother Maryse lightwood, they have quite a rocky relationship and it is difficult to see this and how it affects him as it really does affect him quite badly at times. However with her progression into a really well-adjusted human she can face the consequences of her actions and admit that she has been wrong in the past, it is one of the hardest things for a person to do.  So this will focus on the relationship development in season 3 as it is where they have the strongest relationship in the show and can heal from the wounds they gave each other to become successful adults, whether in the mundane world or in the Shadow world.  In researching the posts focusing on Maryse I now realize that it's really that it's a combination of both the world and the situations that they are put into as we see that Mary was trying to protect her children and r

Magnus Bane and Down worlder relationship's - Demons.

Magnus and the Down world Relationships.  This is a continuation of Magnus's relationships and how he is very well connected to the Down world. It focuses on Asmodeus who we discover is his father. We also discover that Alec is relieved that it wasn't one of his exes. As we see that is why Magnus is so powerful as his magic comes from a prince of hell, which is mentioned in most of the    Abrahamic religions. Very early on in the show, we realize that it is set in a very Judeo -Christian world yet we see that angels are almost worshiped.  So Asmodeus being mentioned is a very real way of tying this into what we can see as a mirror of the real world.  I am talking about several clips and how Magus relates to his father and the difficulties they have as adults trying to reconnect when one is more concerned about power than balancing it with compassion.  Shadowhunters 3x02 | Magnus tells Alec about his father - YouTube  This clip shows Magnus and Alec working really well together

The Mundanes guide to the shadow world. Werewolf's

 Werewolves are humans infected with a demonic disease this being Lycanthropy in their case. Which gives them the ability to transform into powerful wolves,   Changing   either under the influence of the full moon or at will. In their lupine and human forms, werewolves possess inhuman strength, speed, and other enhanced capabilities, with strong claws and canines. Like someone who is under acute stress like a mother having the adrenalin really pumping in her system to save her child by lifting her car or running a long distance. These are all powered by emotions and we do see that there is a difference between good stress and acute stress and bad long-term stress.  Stress can lead to long-term health issues such as autoimmune disorders.  These can be disabling in that many people think that they strive on stress until they are having headaches and other issues. We also in the modern world see that there isn't time for many people to relax and there is very little taught about nutri

Magnus and Alec navigating the shadow world. Part one

 Magnus and Alec how to Navigate the Down world  This is a start of a series that is going to seek out what this relationship looks like and what the difficulties in age differences would look like when you look at the different aspects of this relationship they are both reacting to themselves at times. Not what the other person is doing so their reactions can be different between them because of their ages and their experiences in relationships. We see unexpected positive behaviour in their differing love languages as well. Like when Alec gives Magnus a gift and Magnus is at the hunter's moon talking to Mia, he doesn't remember when someone last gave him a present without expecting anything in return. This leads us to see that Alec's love language is a combination of gifts and acts of service. We see Magnus later in the series as time and acts of service. This is where I am reminded of that family dinner I am reminded of, where the others went on a mission at late notice.

Robert Lightwood and Alec, a look into Family dysfunction.

( Warning this post contains talk about self-harm)  This is a promised post that is about the Lightwood family being dysfunctional, as we see that Robert is an absent father as we see that he hasn't provided Alec a lot of guidance in his life and we see that this isn't a great thing. As even when we are an adult we need guidance to be able to trust our parents, and advice. Yet we do see a lack of trust in the whole Lightwood family as a whole is very dysfunctional and this plays into every relationship shown in were and books (However, my focus is mainly on the Show), And how neglectful Parenting can leave people with a lot of physical and emotional damage. This post will focus on the relationship between him and Alec. I have others in the works as well, however, we see that Alec never, in reality, had the unconditional love of his parents as we see in other clips that he repeatedly says you drilled into me that I was never good enough. Yet we see that this came from a place o
