 ( This post contains a discussion on mental health please be aware of this)   Shadowhunters | Season 1, Episode 8: Jace Tells Clary Falcon Story | Freeform - YouTube At this point in time, Clary is new to the world and sees Jace as her guide to the world, yet we are seeing that she has been brought up in a loving protective world, not knowing that she was a Shadowhunter yet we see from this clip that Jace had a very different upbringing torn away from his parent's in Aclantate he was torn from place to place from family to family before being placed with the lightwoods.  This Alicante is the Shadow hunter's "spiritual home," they are placed in the institutes where they live and work but have family manners in Iris.  We know in human families that don't have a nomadic background that being taken from place to place isn't great, and can cause a lot of harm to a child not having a stable family life. In telling her the Falcon story we see that he believes to lov

Izzy Kisses Simon & Underhill Talks To Alec! - Shadowhunter 3x6 'I'll Keep Your Secret!' - YouTube  This clip is amazing as it focuses on the complexity of the Shadow world and shows a different side of each of the characters something that I see as a great thing. However what I want to focus on is that we see a very different side of Alec, a massive progression from someone so focused on work and uptight to someone who can have a drink. We see that this is during a season when Alec and Magus are having issues and Alec finds that he can talk to Underhill. He sees that he can trust him. From the little we see of him we see that he was the head of  Cyber security.   Alec is also respected and admired for the way he runs the institute.  Being gracious he accepts help from a subordinate in a difficult situation.  A situation could easily become a massive issue for Alec and it could really not help his cause to have this blow up on him.  As he had to fight so hard to even be

Shadowhunters Reduced BGMusic 01x09 - Alec and Robert argue about his engagement - YouTube I have mentioned in previous blogs about the Lightwood family dynamics and they do fit the profile of a dysfunctional family with Jace as a golden-haired child, Izzy as the attention seeker, and Alec as the parent/scapegoat of the family.  We see that in this clip he is still trying to save the family image but it is at a cost to his mental health as at this point in time we do see that he is still in the closet with his family, friends, and himself. He has so much to do that he is simply going through the motions and this isn't great for anyone to simply just go through the motions.  I see that we can live life best when we can live an authentic life. This is a life that you are comfortable in and of yourself. This is a thing with most people, that you can be a person separate from your family, however in the case of the shadow hunters we see that this simply isn't the case as it is the

What is media?  When I started this blog, I didn’t know what I was doing or how I was going to go. And I found myself at a loss of what to write about due to the NDIS (The National Disability insurance scheme) being such a hot-button topic at the time. However, I widened the scope to include media; focusing on disability representation and how disability is discussed in popular media.   This led me to think about the simple question What is MEDIA? This to me is a great question as it has changed in recent years, media is separated into several different categories: TV, Newspapers, Radio, Books, Magazines, and then Websites. Traditional media has a long history of bringing those in power to account for their actions in a democratic country the media should never be the enemy of the people, this is when it becomes propaganda.   A tool that has a long history of changing behaviours and mindsets to suit a narrative, of the organization or sponsor behind it, starting with the Catholic C

If you give a mouse a cookie. (1) If you give a mouse a cookie | Read Aloud | Storytime - YouTube   This on the surface is a great kid’s book, however, it shows, what could be called the slippery slope fallacy. So, it is about to do we have free will.  Something that is up for massive levels of debate and people has dedicated their whole lives to trying to solve this question there are many thoughts on this and many different schools of thought. It also goes into in a very small way moral responsibility to others.  It is about a mouse that is freely given a cookie, yet there are more and more requests. On the person who freely gave the cookie to the mouse, given that the cookie was given willingly I do ask the question about does the person that is giving the mouse a cookie understand the consequences of his actions. This goes into the Law of unintended consequences, this law being that you can’t always see the consequences of your actions and that at times these actions you might

  Heavenly fire and the consequences of dealing without consent. This has been an interesting post to think about as it deals with some very heavy topics that are still very much hot-button topics in the disability community. So We see that Heavenly fire is an off-the-books clave program, that people have died for so we see that there is an issue with this at times as we discover it is a program that Aldertree is running very illegally.   ShadowhuntersSeason 3, Episode 17 | Helen Sabotages The Heavenly Fire Supply | Freeform -YouTube   As we discover he is just as bad as valentine in that he wants to rid the world of down worlders and we see that he is trailing it to put it into the water supply in NY and that this would then clans NY and then the world as the Shadow hunters have the time and resources to do so to clans the world of down world. But we do see that it is “off the books,” and that it is experimented on with prisoners and we see that they aren’t told what is

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
