how much power is in the ring magnus give alec?
first, a little revisit to trsom
Tumblr media
it's shown from scenes like this in the books that despite having the power to bring forward incapable feats or destruction, magnus doesn't want to use it, like at all. we get brief instances in the past where he used it and how much it affected him (killing his stepfather, creating earthquakes when he was upset). the status quo is set, magnus lightwood-bane and his immensely frightening, possibly corruptive magic will never accept each other's friend request again.
but then, there's this scene
Tumblr media
the kind of power comes from the very heart of hell. we know warlocks are offsprings of demons, so it's safe to assume their heritage will somewhat show its influence in their magic. but this isn't your garden variety charm. from what the seelie girl trying to convey here, the ring literally reeks of magic from the deepest, most unpredictable and intimidating part of existence.
does alec know he's carrying a piece of magnus too-dangerous-to-not-be-unsealed-magic around him every day? and that there's no end magnus wouldn't go to, even if it's the part of himself he's terrified of, to keep alec safe?

I miss writing. I miss malec
I plot in my head every night but it’s not the same.
I miss writing about how Magnus and Alec tease and find and appreciate and murder for each other and how much they love each other.
I miss Team Immortal and how Magnus and Cat and Ragnor and magical rituals and the spiral labyrinth politics and the finer elements of magical and warlock culture and
I miss diving into world building with magical botony and zoology and thread magic to pocket dimensions. How magic isn’t equal and there’s different levels and wild nature magic. The way that while the spiral labyrinth has changed and evolved, that it still holds to the very oldest of rituals. Everything carefully and continually read by each new Elder and the acolytes of the library learn by trade. Because knowledge isn’t kept in books alone. There are singing histories and spells kept alive by enchanted pieces and the memories of those devoted to learning. Carving and thread work and rituals in tapestry or furniture.
(Because elder isn’t a title based on just age but also elder knowledge. Warlocks who especially dedicate themselves to either singular or a plethora of fields and excel at creation and learning become elders. The very best researchers and scholars of the wealth of knowledge and magical prowess. Being an elder isn’t just a perk it’s a dedication and an oath to the protection and betterment of their people. Active oaths to keep them from stagnating in the decades of immortality and aging.
If you truly start slacking or losing your way, the magic prods you. Eventually you are forced to make a choice, forsake your roll as an Elder and retract and be released from your vows. Or uphold them. )
Metalworking and leather working and the labyrinth contains it all.
I love expanding on the shadowworld and the different ways magic is used by each race and how they all separately interact with the outskirts of the mundane world.
Of figuring out how a warrior society would work and the different styles of life that could have evolved.
And how much sheer adoration and platonic love is between the three of them. And the trust.
Because even when Ragnor is ignoring Magnus (a petty fight that turned into a research binge that turned into a few more years of silence than intended while Ragnor experimented in a pocket library) Magnus is still going to show up and make sure he’s fed and hydrated because the pettiness never outweighs the care.
(Cat has spells on all their vitals and vise versa. But she sent Magnus over with an excuse around year theee when she figured Ragnor had just lost track of time. Magnus doesn’t even remember that Ragnor was being petty and Ragnor doesn’t remember the argument at all).
I miss Alec figuring out what he enjoys and that he’s allowed to enjoy.
Honestly I got a little off track but I’ve been wanting to write malec and post for so long.
I miss the interactions and comments and looking forward to new Wednesday prompts. I miss writing Wednesdays so much and I’m looking forward to starting them up again when I’m healed :/
This took about an hour to write the first time but half got deleted and had to be rewritten when Nightshade started barking outside (it’s past the neighborhood noise curfew and I had to run to grab him so we stayed polite).
Nightshade likes to go outside and ‘guard’ the house for a bit every night before his door gets locked shut for bed, but since bed is subjective to my insomnia and not his sleep schedule he sometimes goes to ‘guard’ rather late. He huffily settled in his crate, perturbed I wouldn’t let him ‘protect’ the House.
Honestly I’m just happy I can write on my phone without a ton of pain anymore.
💜 lumine
The House made a rule (without me lol I was outvoted) that every time anyone buys anything they have to consider if it’s for public House use and if it is, how likely I am to injure myself with it. Or how likely is it to randomly break and hurt me.
It’s very sweet but I hate that it says something that they all agreed. It’s also hilarious because I’m the one who does all the yard work (I’ve had to delay fertilizing for a month and had to stop PT for 3.5 weeks while it healed enough for me to go) so I have axes, clippers, trimmers I use frequently.

Simon: How are we going to defeat Valentine and Sebastian? Any ideas, Jace? Jace: I’m not meant to come up with ideas. I’m the hot one! Isabelle: Okay, but I thought I was meant to be the hot one? Clary: You are both wrong. I am most definitely the hot one. I can do runes! Jace: Clary does have a point, but she is below 1.70 tall, so she doesn’t count as a person. Isabelle: I am taller than you, Jace. Does that confirm me as the hot one? Alec: [clears throat] Nobody cares. But just to clarify things, I’m the tallest one here, so by your logic… Simon: The world may be about to end, but I would gladly let it all burn just to see this conversation die with it.

My new theory is that Cassie doesn’t want to write contemporary period books anymore and that’s why she had to wait till 2026 to release book 1 of twp bc by then TLKOF is historical fiction as 2015 was over a decade before.

since I'm posting about devastating mother-child relationships tonight, the idea of Rosemary coming back as a ghost in twp has been floating around my head for a while now. very specifically a scene where Kit finally meets his mom & everything alright right up until Rosemary realises he's a shadowhunter.
like Kit (who's good at reading people) seeing the exact moment she knows. she cannot hide it because the shadowhunters getting Kit was her greatest fear even as she died. That was her greatest nightmare when she held his little body, a future where he was scarred and lived a life of war. that the future she feared so much was one of the best things that ever happened to him goes against everything she knows & believes.
they're finally together for the first time in their lives and there's still an impassable divide between them. the idea Kit was given the opportunity to not be a shadowhunter & choose to ask Jem to train him anyway would be so incomprehensible to Rosemary. the idea that not being a shadowhunter is actually distressing to Kit & if given the chance to change that he wouldn't. like even if she eventually came around, imagine knowing you are all your mother's fears come to life (and you cannot regret it). that even against the odds of death something separates the two of you.

The Last Hours would have been much more fun if the James/Matthew/Cordelia “love triange” was replaced with the Shawn/Cory/Topanga dynamic from boy meets world:
James: Look at you two! My favorite person in the world! And my wife!
Cordelia: My whole life…
Cordelia: What do you mean you’re mad at James? You love him more than I do!
Alastair: *side eye*
Cordelia: It’s true but I’m ok with it.
*at their wedding*
Matthew: Do you really like her?
James: Yeah, I do.
Matthew: Are you sure?
Cordelia: Matthew? I really think I’ve been very tolerant here. 
Matthew: *crying* We have to say goodbye for an hour!
Cordelia: Guys, it’s only a couple of weeks.
James: *crying* No, no, no.  Math, I was doing it quick because I thought you wanted to do it quick!
Cordelia: I want a divorce.
Cordelia: You never carry my books.
James: *looks at Matthew* Well, look at him!
Matthew: You’re my friend Daisy. You’re one of the two best people I know.
Cordelia: Who’s first?
Matthew: He is. But, you and I are the best two things in his life.
Cordelia: Who’s first?
Matthew: You are.
And the main drama between them could’ve been about who should be the most important person in james’ life, his wife, or his parabatai. Or maybe they wouldn't have any drama at all and instead cc could focus on the many side characters she created and then sidelined.
