Annie in wonderland

  This is a follow-up post to the post on real-world evil, so we see that there was a lot wrong with the Circle and we see that there was a lot that the older generation kept from their children about the circle and the uprising as they didn’t want it to happen again. Yet we know that by telling people about their history and culture we understand that they can see that in the real world we are educated on history to try and understand it and we now start to understand it and see it as well.     As the shadow hunters suppressed the knowledge of the uprising and we that this could have prevented a lot of issues if they were able to talk about it freely. I can see the arguments for both sides around this if you talk about it we see that people around you could help prevent it from happening again but we see that suppressing this knowledge is a risk that backfires and helps radicalize people and turn them into fanatics and this is an issue that deserves its post about how the internet

This has been an interesting post to write and work on as it shows how much real-world history is involved in the clave and the Shadow world and I have had some interesting debates with people about what the clave is like and if it is a good or bad organization and we have found some good and bad about it as we see that it’s essentially a military organization and it’s at times authoritarian and at times democratic in that influences in the families that are enforced, and that the families that run the institute can give missions or take volunteers for them.   However, from what I understand the accords are basically like a peacekeeping treaty and the Shadow hunters enforce them.   But the circle is a very interesting concept as it and the uprising have very stark parallels to history.    Where we have an organization within an organization. The most obvious one is the rise of the [i] Nazi party in Germany leading into World War two as people forget that Hitler was democrati

So this post has been in the works for a while and I had to do a deep dive into a book that I was aware of due to some documentaries I watched on History yet it was a very horrific read and some of these dialogues could have been taken straight out of the history books, at  0.20 of this clip we see Izzy say “ that everyone has a chose Alec, and I made mine.”  This was interesting as it shows that she was willing to risk her life for a Seely as she knew that this Seely was innocent and by Lydia sending him to the city of bones we see that he would not make it out alive. So she got a team together to rescue him and it was a mixed team of down worlders and shadow hunters as we see the alliances start to form in this episode, we see that Alec isn’t willing to risk his plans as it is because of Clary that a lot of this has happened.   But knows that he needs to get an advocate for his sister, and we see that the Clave has a lot to answer for in a lot of ways it seems to be very totalitarian

  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 so important to talk about as it makes sense to me as Jace does have a shift in his mindset and we see that this is not a good thing as we see that he starts to mature in a way and he understands in a way what clary is going through as it makes sense to me.  That he was taken in by the light woods, at the age of 10  but knew he was a shadow hunter whereas Clary doesn't know that she is a shadow hunter so she needs to be taught as an adult what being a shadow hunter means.  Also, Jace knows that his abilities are good and he is one of the best as he has been told this from a young age as well.  But we do understand as well, that the world is brutal but the family dynamics can be interesting and complex depending on the missions they are tasked with as well. As we see that the shadow world is brutal, at times and it does at times impact the Shadow hunters in a very real way.   Jace knows that he has good skills but forgets his mission at times,  as he is in love he has found

    This is a follow-up post on Jace and his mindset as it goes from very stable to very unstable due to clary bringing Jace back from the dead as he was at peace, we see that even Alec knows that Jace was dead and seeks to bring the truth out of Clary but she carries that with her to the point of lying about it and then covering up that lie.   As we forget that Clary hasn’t been brought up in the shadow world and that she doesn’t realize that Alec can feel Jace and that he knew it and this is the start of Jace’s mindset shift from cocky to vulnerable. Something that can happen in reality if you have a chronic illness or develop a disability. That prevents you from having a “normal,” life.
