So I’m obsessed with the idea of cow shigaraki don’t ask me why lmaoo anyways shigaraki was always an asshole to everyone ( everyone tries to take him seriously but his cute little ears makes it hard) shigaraki hasn’t gotten out of his room for days and everyone kind of got worried but forced the reader to check it since shigaraki was a littel bit decent to them ( everyone knows shigaraki has a crush on the reader but of course the reader is lowkey dumb to notice) to there surprise the reader finds shigaraki humping his pillow while sniffing the readers sweater or panties that he “ borrowed” and moaning readers name, it turns out our little cow shiggy here has his heat not to mention little drops of milk are coming out of his pink nipples, shigaraki notices the reader and just starts crying and whining and begging the reader ti help him out because he’s in so much pain and can’t get off ( the reader does have a heart and helps him out but it’s not gonna be that easy since the reader does want to tease him a bit but soon gives him what he wants) a fluff ending because why not

I know what everyone is thinking, and I pinky promise that Shigaraki does not moo in this, so don't worry. I did read a fic like this and everyone turned it into like a “cursed fanfic” because the mooing weirded them out, but the only thing that really bothered me is that it was non-con (non-consensual [rape]). I will never ever ever EVER EVER EVER write non-con. Never.

Ok, I am on a fucking roll with the mommy kink, so here we go 😌

Anon your ideas make me write for literal hours cause I get so excited and I write for “20 minutes” that turns into four hours that turns into getting half of your requests done in less than a week. If anyone reading this can draw, I demand art of cow Shigaraki. This reminds me of Shigamothie (my guilty pleasure)

However, the way he looks in my head isn't drawn out, and um, I can’t draw 😃

I FOUND SOME UHIUHINIJMIOANIONSJIND

“Y/n, it's been days. Go check on him, ” Dabi said.

“Why don't you go do it?” you asked.

“Because he’ll fucking dust me, ” he responded.

“And? He would dust me too, ” you said.

“Y/n, first of all, that's impossible because of your quirk, ” Dabi said, “and second, everyone knows Shiggy has a crush on you. Well, everyone but you,”

“He does not, ” you scoffed.

“I'll bet everyone dinner for the next three nights that he does. But you have to go up there and ask him, ” Spinner said.

“Fuck, ” you muttered, “fine! Fine, I'll go, ”

You trudged up the stairs, sighing when you got to his room.

You knocked but there was no response.

“Risking my job so those assholes can eat, ” you muttered.

To your dismay the door was unlocked and you walked in.

“Hey, this is a dumb question, but-” you cut off, “Shigaraki are-are you ok?”

He was curled up on the bed in fetal position, naked with a pillow between his legs, humping it desperately. He didn't seem to notice you yet.

‘Is that my sweater?’ you thought.

You put a hand oh his shoulder, “Shigaraki? Are you ok?” you asked again.

He shook his head, moaning, “need you y/n, ” he gasped, “need you, please. It hurts. It hurts so bad please y/n, ”

You bit your lip, scratching behind his ears as he moaned desperately.

“I can't. I-I can't get myself off, ” he sobbed, “it doesn't w-work. I need you y/n I need to be inside of you I-”

He let out a strangled yelp as white liquid shot out of both his cock and his erect pink nipples. You knew he had cow ears and a tail, but you never thought he’d actually make milk. You knelt by the bed and sucked experimentally, enjoying the taste of his warm milk.

“Mmm, ” you hummed, drinking more.

“Y-y/n don't. It feels too good when you do that I can't-” he cried, spilling another load onto the poor pillow.

You giggled, “i didn't know you went into heat. It's kinda cute, ” you said, brushing sweaty matted hair out of his face.

He hid his face in your sweater again, just for you to pull him to face you once more.

“Mommy, ” he whispered, “I need you. Please, mommy, ”

You kissed his forehead, “mommy, huh? Y’know you're really not that scary, Shiggy. The ears and tail don't help either, ”

He whined, blushing, “please mommy?”

He looked up at you with puppy dog eyes that you couldn't resist.

You sighed, “fine. But only if you answer my question, ”

He nodded, “anything, mommy. I’ll do anything, ”

You took a deep breath before asking, “do you have a crush on me? ”

“Wh-what? ” he stuttered before blowing another load with a groan.

“I asked you if you have a crush on me,” you repeated.

He couldn't hide it from you. He couldn't even hide it from himself.

“Yes, ” he groaned, “yes, I have a fucking crush on you. Please fuck me y/n, ”

“Say please again, baby. I love it when you beg,” you said, kissing him.

He froze as you pressed your lips to his. Shigaraki looked up at you with wide eyes. That was his first kiss, and he got to share it with you.

“Please, ” he whispered, “please fuck me y/n, ”

You ran your hand up and down the back of his thigh, stopping to squeeze his butt gently. You took his nipple in your mouth again, drinking more of his milk before kissing him again. This time he returned your affection. You took away the pillow, and he started whining, practically crying at the lack of stimulation. He was already a mess. There was really no need for teasing, but you couldn't help yourself. You tapped the tip of his cock with your pointer finger, watching as he moaned and tried to buck into it.

“So sensitive, ” you said, pulling your hand away, “I think we’re gonna have some fun Shiggy, ”

He nodded, “mommy, please, please touch me, ”

You couldn't deny him any longer. He was practically crying. He’d been so touch-starved for years it wasn't just about how badly he needed to cum it was about how badly he needed not only to be touched but to touch someone else. He hadn't given or received a hug since he was a kid, and even now, he couldn't if he wanted to. Until you joined.

Your first quirk was impressive, but the fact that you had a secondary quirk to cancel out his had to be fate. He decided that very day that you were his soulmate. You were the one he could do all that cheesy romance stuff he’d seen during movie nights when it was Toga’s turn. You were his from the moment he saw you.

“I’ll touch you baby boy, don't worry, ” you said, taking off your shirt.

He stared at your chest as you unclipped your bra. He reached for your boob, seemingly to play with it in his hands but instead pulled you towards his mouth. He sucked harshly, groping your other tit. You groaned as he pinched and twisted your left nipple and sucked on your right one. You weren't even on the bed yet, still knelt beside it. You pushed him away and climbed on top of him, laying him flat on his back.

“You're so rough with mommy, sweetie. You have absolutely no power in this position, no matter how much you'd like to deny it. Now I wonder, ” you said, reaching between his legs, “does this little cow moo?”

You jerked his cock harshly, causing Shigaraki to let out a loud moan.

You whispered in his ear, “It looks like the answer is yes, ”

You kissed his cute little ear, still getting him off with your hands. He came again, painting your hand with cum, but he still wasn't satisfied. You took his nipple in your mouth once again, sucking warm milk from him. He was shuddering and thrashing around on the bed once again, falling apart from the lack of stimulation to his dick.

“Mommy, need inside. Please mommy please, ” he begged.

“Be patient, Shigaraki, ” you said, caressing his cheek, “I'm taking you every way I know how, ”

You crawled down the bed, letting your left hand trail down his body, pinching and twisting his nipple again. You smeared the milk that oozed out over it. When you finally settled between his legs, you took your time admiring and practically worshipping his thighs. You kneaded the flesh in your hands, kissing, licking, and biting them, thrilled you were finally able to get your hands on them. You’d always had a thing for his thighs, not sure why.

When you finally started moving upwards he begged you shamelessly.

“Please put your mouth on my cock, mommy, ” he whined, “please, I'll be good. I’ll be a good boy for you mommy, ”

You bit and kissed his inner thighs more, traveling as high as you could while still ignoring his oozing cock. You had to dig your nails into his thighs to keep Shigaraki from closing them. You finally brushed your lips against his balls, and Shigaraki almost came right then and there. You licked long stripes up his dick, pausing to let your tongue tickle the head. He was holding back now, trying to last so he could feel your mouth for just a little longer. You sucked on the head of his cock, impressed by his willpower and even more excited to break him down.

You took him into your mouth and hollowed your cheek, not caring about the tears streaming down your face or how you gagged whenever you moved your mouth. He pulled you up until your breathing steadied.

“Dont hurt yourself, mommy, ” he said.

He pet your hair as you were still only halfway down his cock. He was so sweet to you, such a good boy. You rolled his balls in one hand, wrapping the other around what he wouldn't allow your mouth to cover, and sucked harshly on what you could. He was starting to break down, finally letting go in your mouth. He came with another strangled cry. If you were honest, his cum tasted awful thanks to his poor diet, but luckily, you knew exactly how to get rid of the taste.

“As much as I love milking your cock, baby, I think there's something else that needs milking too, ” you said.

You brought your head to his chest once again gulping down milk.

You pulled away “you need to est better sweetie. I’ll cook for you from now on, ”

He looked like he was about to object, so you captured his lips in a sweet kiss, letting him know how happy you were that he was here with you and how excited you were to take care of him. You had used your mouth and hands which only left one option, your cunt. Or so he thought.

“Kneel for me by the end of the bed, Shigaraki, ” you said.

He did as he was told, “you can call me Tomura, ” he said.

“Such a pretty name, ” you praised, “now put your cock between my thighs,”

You had lifted your legs as best you could, counting on him to support you the rest of the way.

“What?” he asked, confused.

“I want you to fuck my thighs, ” you explained, “and if you try to slip inside of me, I'm not fucking you properly until tomorrow and you can suffer for the rest of today, ”

He frowned. That was no fair, but he wasn't going to disobey you. He had promised to be a good boy. So he took off your pants and lined himself up with your thighs, moaning as he slid in between them.

“ go ahead, baby boy, make yourself feel good, Tomura” you said.

He nodded, beginning to thrust into your thighs. He had your legs draped over his shoulders and was dangerously close to your aching cunt. He was whimpering the entire time, desperate to finish so he could get inside of you. Feel how warm and wet you were. Letting you squeeze him and milk his cock, how he’d play with your tits as you moaned beneath him. That's all it took for the head of his dick to peek out from between your thighs and paint you with his cum.

“Baby, you did such a good job for mommy, ” you praised him, “fuck me, Tomura, you deserve it, ”

He reached into the drawer of his nightstand, but you stopped him.

“I'm on the pill. You don't need a condom, ” you said.

He shook his head and rifled through the drawer before pulling out a cock ring, sliding it on.

“Wanna make mommy feel good too, ” he said, nuzzling his face into the crook of your neck, “wanna last so mommy can cum with me, ”

You squeezed him tight, kissing the top of his head.

“You're so sweet, baby, ” you said.

He pulled down your panties, lining himself up, and hovering over you.

“Tell me if it hurts, ” he said.

You nodded, and he pushed in slowly, stretching you, but you didn't want him to stop. Once he was entirely inside you, he stopped. He tried to commit the feeling of you to memory. He began thrusting slowly, focusing all his energy on making you feel good. He reached down to rub your clit, causing you to moan out his name. He tried every angle to try and find the spot you liked. When your back arched and you moaned out, ‘right, there baby,’ he knew he’d found his mark. He kept thrusting, speeding up, watching you come undone. You grabbed his hair, arched your back into his chest, and didn't try to hide your desperate moans.

“Tomura, I'm close, ” you said, pressing his forehead to yours.

He nodded and kept going, whining and whimpering. You groaned, starting to reach your limit. You started grinding against him, chasing your high desperately. You came with a high-pitched whine, juices coating his cock.

“That's it, mommy, please cum on my cock. I love making you feel good, mommy I-, ” he was cut off by his orgasm, crying out to you.

He collapsed on top of you, cum oozing out of your hole.

“Will you go out on a date with me?” he whispered.

You laughed, “yes, of course I'll go out on a date with you, Tomura”

“Thank you, mommy, ” he whispered.

The door swung open.

“Y/n are you dead or-, ” Dabi grinned, “we’re eating good tonight, guys!” he called downstairs, closing the door as everyone cheered.

“Spinner made me go ask if you had a crush on me. I said no, but then he offered to get us all dinner for three nights, ” you explained, “plus you actually liked me back, which in my opinion is much better than anything he could have offered, ”

He chuckled, “I'll have to thank him. You're not getting out of this bed until dinner y/n, hope you know that, ”

Shadowhunters Season 2 Episode 12 -- You Are Not Your Own -- Review/Discussion

This week, we got Shadowhunters Season 2 Episode 12, You Are Not Your Own. I think I liked this episode. I’m not really all that sure. This episode felt about on par with the previous episode. It’s a decently structured episode of Shadowhunters but overall, it didn’t leave me with much of an impression. I enjoyed myself while watching the episode but yet it left me with no desire to watch it again. I did watch it again, simply because that’s what I do when I review things. I always watch what I’m reviewing two or three times to make sure I caught and understood everything I want to talk about.

This is going to be an honest review of my thoughts and feelings regarding this episode. If you’re the kind of Shadowhunters fan where you only want to hear positive things about the show, this is not the place for you. If you decide to stick around and get offended by what is said, then that’s on you. I warned you. Just know that if you send me any rude comments or messages, I will 100% ignore you. I find that’s the best way to deal with bullies. I work 14 hour days. Do you really think I want to waste my incredibly valuable free time dealing with derogatory comments? Hell no. This review will consist of my honest opinions. Opinions are never right or wrong. I’m not telling you how to think and feel. I’m telling you what I think and feel. So please, let’s discuss with dignity and respect. If I’m critical about the show, it’s only because I want it to get better. There is, in fact, a difference between hating a show and being critical of it. I do not hate Shadowhunters; I am being critical and analyzing the flaws as I would with any other show. There are positives but there are also negatives. It’s great if you want to promote positivity with this show (and I encourage you to do so) but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t acknowledge the things that are legitimately wrong with it. Also, keep in mind that despite the fact that I do love the books, me being critical of this show has nothing to do with my love of the books. I don’t really care if the show deviates from the source material as long as it’s good and it makes sense. My problems with this show are problems that I would have with any show or book for that matter. I think it’s perfectly reasonable to take issue with a show that has plot holes, shoddy world-building, and inconsistent characters. There will be spoilers for the show and spoilers for the books and movie.

I’m really sorry about this being so late but man, did I have a hard time writing this one. I’m really not sure where the brunt of my problems lie with this episode. I feel like this is an episode I probably should’ve liked a lot but at the end of the day, I just didn’t care. Which is weird because it had a lot of plot points that ordinarily, I would be all for. Ultimately, I think the biggest issues with this episode was the execution of these ideas. Pretty much, all of the plot points fell a little flat. You have that mixed in with cheesy and nonsensical dialogue, then I guess it’s no real surprise that this episode didn’t really captivate me. It was fun watching the plot unfold but nothing really resonated with me and made me hope the episode would just go on and on. When the episode ended, I was good. I was ready to turn off the tv and I’m not really counting down the days until the next episode airs.

Magnus/Valentine Switch-A-Roo

Now, this is a plot point that I actually kind of like in its idea form. And it was fairly well executed in the show. I thought Alan and Harry did a very good job with switching characters. I had absolutely no trouble believing that Magnus was no longer Magnus and Valentine was no longer Valentine. Although, I do find it odd that after Magnus-In-Valentine’s body tells Alec that he’s really Magnus and Alec isn’t alarmed by Valentine-in-Magnus’ body’s actions. He doesn’t really think, “Hey, Valentine just told me that he’s really Magnus and when I went to see Magnus, he was behaving oddly. Maybe I should look into this more.” Oh well, this show thrives on idiot plots. It would be inconvenient for the plot for Alec to show common sense in this moment despite that he’s been shown numerous times to have the most common snese of everyone on Team Good. I do hope they put out a “behind the scenes” feature with Harry and Alan talking about what it was like to switch characters. Both of them did a pretty amazing job. I really enjoyed those scenes. I had very small issues with this plot as a whole (my problems lie more with the use of Azazel than anything else) and I’m very excited to see where the trauma that Magnus suffered at the hands of the Clave takes his character. That being said, this was a really interesting development for Magnus’ character but I am worried that this plot point is going to be dropped or lose its relevancy as so many subplots in this show often are. I also kind of wish the switch lasted maybe another episode. Everything just felt incredibly rushed in this plot. But that’s how this show is. Everything is always done at warp speed and I feel like this show in its plot form could be a much better show if it just slowed down. Let the characters tell the story instead of forcing the characters to do things.

Alec Being a Badass – Thank You for this Scene

Yay for Alec for sending Azazel back to hell; that was great. I am so happy that Alec was the one to take down Azazel. He never gets to do anything cool or shadowhuntery-badass in this show. It’s always The Clary Show which is really irritating because it makes no sense why she’s a better shadowhunter then everyone else who have been training THEIR ENTIRE LIVES! She’s been a shadowhunter for at most, a month and she can swing swords and fighting staffs around like the best of them. And even bests some of the other shadowhunters, at times. Why? I don’t know. It’s so dumb. But I digress. I know I’ve made no secret about my distaste for Clary on this show but I can’t help it. She’s such a badly written character with no forethought to her development that I can’t not comment on it. Sorry to those of you who adore Clary on the show but it’s my opinion and I won’t apologize for it. If you really want to understand my dislike for the show’s version of Clary, go and hit up my ask box and I’ll go in depth about it. And don’t worry, my reasons for disliking her don’t have a whole lot to do with her constantly crying. It’s nothing shallow and dumb like that. But anyways, Alec banishing Azazel was a really badass moment for Alec. Unfortunately, the actual banishing of Azazel was not. Make no mistake, I’m glad that Alec was the one to take care of Azazel but MY GOD, was that scene dumb. The special effect of Alec flying back in the air and shooting Azazel was really bad. I don’t know where the bow and arrow came from other than the magical world of bad holographic CGI nor do I understand the need for a poorly executed Matrix move in that scene. I also don’t understand why if Azazel has this weakness, why he didn’t do anything to protect it? He’s been playing the game pretty hard trying to get the Mortal Cup so the shadowhunters can’t use it to send him back to hell but he has this other way to be sent to hell that he doesn’t even consider protecting? Like I said in my previous review, this guy is so dumb and the writing of him is so dumb. I guess you can chalk it up to him being cocky. He thinks he’s so awesome that he doesn’t even consider that a shadowhunter might be able to hit his core. But still. He’s been trapped in hell for a really long time. You think he would have erred on the side of caution after just escaping from hell. Not to mention, who released this guy from hell anyway? What exactly was their purpose in releasing him? Maybe it was Sebastian/Jonathon. Really, this entire Azazel plot was really dumb, didn’t accomplish a whole lot, ended very anti-climactically, and I’m glad he’s gone. The only purpose Azazel served was to body-swap Magnus and Valentine and once he did that, he was pretty much useless to the plot and unrealistically easily taken care of. I’m not entirely certain how relevant this body swap thing is going to be to the rest of the plot for this season. Knowing this show, they’ll probably drop it. I’ve seen a lot of people talk about that Alec killing Azazel was so wonderful because he was protecting his one true love. Which okay, fine. He did that but by you saying that, you’re also implying that Alec wouldn’t banish a Prince of Hell for just anyone. Alec cares about everyone. He may not like everyone but he does care about them if they’re a genuinely good person. If he was face-to-face with a Prince of Hell, he’d do what he could to kill the creature to protect just about anyone that falls into that category. And really, Alec banishing Azazel happened so quickly that it came off more like self-defense than an actual act of protecting his boyfriend. Alec was there, then Azazel was there, Azazel pushed Alec through the air and then Alec shot him. The show has been toting around that Alec is going to have this really great heroic moment and all I can say is that I feel a little unsatisfied with it? It was anticlimactic and it didn’t really feel real. I’m kind of expecting Azazel to just pop back up and be all, “Just kidding, bitches. As if you could get rid of me.” Not likely but whatever. With this show, if you’re not part of the main cast, then you’re going to go down pretty easily. That’s just the way it is. I find it very difficult to believe that it’s this easy to take care of a Prince of Hell, though. Or that Magnus would be able to duplicate the kind of magic a Prince of Hell used to swap their bodies to begin with. Think about it, in the previous episode, Magnus was incapable of trapping Azazel in a pentagram but here, he’s able to use a spell that would counteract a curse that very same Prince of Hell put on him?

I don’t know. Maybe my distaste for the whole Azazel plot stems from the fact that the Azazel plot from City of Lost Souls is absolutely hilarious. Team Good summons Azazel to get some information and Azazel is just chilling in this pentagram in Magnus’ living room for a couple of days (and they never lose control of him because Magnus Bane is a badass; something this show chooses to forget whenever it’s not convenient for the plot). They eventually banish Azazel back to hell because he’s just annoying the shit out of them. It’s a fun little sequence of scenes that really takes the edge off in a pretty serious book.

With that said though, I’m pretty sure I dislike the show’s Azazel plot because it serves as nothing more than a plot device for a character plot point that’s going to either be dropped or lose its relevancy halfway through. That, and there’s huge gaps of logic in this plot to begin with. Azazel is a Prince of Hell. He should’ve stuck around for at least a few more episodes.

Will Tudor as Sebastian/Jonathon – He is too good for this show

You know, I never really noticed how badly I needed a Sebastian/Jonathon adaptation until I got one. I always cared about Sebastian/Jonathon as a villain in the books but I never really imagined what a movie or tv show adaptation of him would be like. And I am so glad that our first adaptation of him was Will Tudor because OMG, he blew this role out of the park in this episode. Honestly, Will Tudor might be a little too talented for this show. I’m kind of afraid the other actors aren’t going to be able to keep up. Whatever scene he’s in, he just takes complete control. I’m completely engrossed in whatever scene he’s in. It’s amazing. The only other actor on this show that I get like that with is Alan Van Sprang. And OMG, if we get a scene with those two acting opposite of each other, that is going to be a bad ass scene and I’m probably going to spend half of a review raving about it. Please, Shadowhunters, do it. That is something I have to see before this show ends. In the books, we never got a scene with Sebastian/Jonathon and Valentine together but I really hope the show does one. I feel a little bad Will Tudor’s stuck with this show, though. He’s going to have to utilize his significant acting talents on a show that has a history of sub-par plotting. Just that scene where he was trying to convince Clary to really feel about what it would mean to acknowledge that Jace is not her brother was so powerful to watch. It wasn’t really all that well-written but I started tearing up a little and it wasn’t because I was feeling for Clary. It was because I was feeling for Sebastian/Jonathon. He was projecting his feelings of loneliness onto Clary’s situation and the resentment and animosity that we saw in his face and in his tone of voice…damn, it was good. He’s trying to get Clary to acknowledge her own feelings of loneliness. Her mother is dead. Her brother isn’t really her brother. Her father doesn’t care about her. She has no family. She’s truly alone. Just the way he was presenting these issues made you realize that he was able to get through to Clary because he feels these exact same things and when the reveal comes out about who this guy really is….it is going to be so damn good. I might even be able to forgive this show for all of their mishaps, Season 1 included.

Rant Time – This Show’s Use of Magic

Okay, so now that I’ve finished fangirling over the awesomeness that is Will Tudor, it’s time for a little rant. I loved that scene between Sebastian/Jonathon and Clary. It was the highlight of the episode for me. I must’ve re-watched that scene four or five times. However, it’s revealed in this scene that the reason Clary couldn’t use her sunlight rune against Azazel was because she had a mind block due to her not really feeling everything she should. Ironic considering this is what she yelled at Jace for in Mea Maxima Culpa. What I had originally liked about Clary not being able to use her rune against Azazel was that it was finally showing that there are limitations to her runes. I was so happy to see the show finally develop the idea that there are limitations to magic in this world and You Are Not Your Own just trampled all over that idea. I didn’t like that the only reason Clary’s rune didn’t work against Azazel was because of her emotional state. That if Jace hadn’t told her about the sibling thing, she would’ve been able to destroy Azazel. How about the fact that AZAZEL IS A PRINCE OF HELL. Maybe for Clary’s runes to work against certain demons she needs to, heaven forbid, practice and get stronger and thus her runes become stronger. Maybe she couldn’t destroy Azazel because she wasn’t strong enough and by default, neither were her runes. This is something that irks me about this show’s use of magic. Magic in this show has no limitations. It has no rules. You can do just about anything with magic and it’s irritating. If your world’s magic system has no rules, no limitations, what makes it compelling? Where is the danger? The risk? In most magic systems, there’s always a consequence for using magic. You can’t create something out of nothing. It has to come from somewhere and you can apply this logic to Clary’s runes. She can draw these runes that no one else knows because she has this extra angel blood in her, however, the runes have to get their strength from somewhere. They can’t just pull it out of thin air. The strength of the runes would depend completely on Clary’s own strength at the time they were drawn. So it would stand to reason that a rune would fail against a Prince of Hell because she wasn’t strong enough to face a Prince of Hell. I hate how this show uses magic as a plot device and nothing more where magic should really be seen as its own character in this show with its own personality.

The Herondale Reveal

We finally find out who Jace really is. I find it weird that after Valentine confessed to Jace not really being his son that Jace never actually questioned who his real parents were; he had to come from somewhere, but whatever. It was interesting how they did this reveal but again, it was kind of anticlimactic. When it happened, I was just like, “Oh, really? We’re revealing this now? Okay.” I was kind of apathetic. It didn’t really have that much of a wow factor. It was interesting in the sense of the role reversal. In the books, the Inqusitor, thinking that Jace is Valentine’s son, uses Jace as a hostage against Valentine with Jace remarking that Valentine doesn’t care about him. It was opposite in the show. Valentine uses Jace as a hostage against the Inquisitor with Jace remarking that the Inquisitor doesn’t care about him. Then Valentine reveals that the Inquisitor will care when she finds out that Jace is actually her grandson. It was an alright reveal but it didn’t really pack a whole lot of emotional punch. Jace being revealed to being a Herondale is kind of a big deal and in this scene it just felt a little, “oh, whatever.” It might’ve helped out a little bit if we had been introduced to the Herondale name a little more before this episode. As it stands, the Herondales just come off as this random family that Jace is now a part of despite the show stating that the Herondales are this great royal bloodline. And the show stating the Herondales to be royalty is a whole other weird thing. I really don’t understand this shadowhunter royalty hierarchy. I was so hoping the show was going to drop this angle on the shadowhunter bloodlines because they haven’t mentioned it since Season 1 but now it’s back. Ugh. My problem is not that they’re introducing something new that isn’t in the books. That’s not the issue. My issue is that they haven’t done anything to establish these royal bloodlines. Which of the shadowhunters bloodlines are royal and why are they royal? I don’t think this is like Vampire Academy where the different families take turns as the ruling government. It certainly hasn’t been set up like that. The Inquisitor didn’t become the Inquisitor because she’s a Herondale. She became the Inquisitor because she moved through the ranks of the Clave government (supposedly). It’s hard to tell what’s actually canon in this show. What about the Herondales makes them more special and more royal than the other shadowhunter bloodlines? Why do I need to care about the Herondales? I mean, I know why I should care about the Herondales. I’ve read The Infernal Devices. I’m a little in love with Will Herondale, myself. If you recite poems and books back to me, I’m going to fall in love with you. That’s just how it is. But if you’re watching this show without prior knowledge of the books, I’m sure those fans are a little confused on why they should care about the Herondales and why it’s a big deal that Jace is related to them. As always, this show has an interesting idea but the execution just falls flat. How you reveal something is just as important as the actual reveal.

Sizzy Is Starting to Happen – I’ll Try to Contain Myself

OMG! The show is starting to work on Sizzy and I’m so happy. They are one of my favorite OTPs of all time. They are going to be so great on this show. Or at least I hope they will be. I’ve been burned by this show before so I’ll try and temper my excitement. But yeah, there were some really nice Sizzy character moments in this episode. I really liked that straight off in the beginning, Izzy is with Simon and she can’t help but come clean to him about her vampire venom addiction. She just felt so at ease with him in that moment and it was really great that Simon didn’t judge her at all for it. He was very understanding because he has a mother that also suffers with addiction and Simon seems to genuinely want to help with getting Izzy the help to fight this. I often wondered why they had so many lines this season alluding to Simon’s mother being an alcoholic and now I think it was for this purpose. To set up Simon being able to truly help Izzy in a way that Alec can’t. As great as it is that Alec wants to be there for his sister and to help her out through this, he also can’t really understand what she’s going through. Whereas Simon really can’t either; he’s not an addict, but he does have experience helping someone through their addiction and I think that’s going to play a big role in the development of Sizzy. I’m super excited to see it.

I also feel compelled to defend Izzy a little in this episode. I have seen a lot of reviews that talk about how they don’t like what this drug addiction is doing to Izzy’s character. They want the bad-ass Izzy from Season 1 back. And I will admit, that Izzy was cool and she was bad-ass. But she was also one-dimensional and I never really felt connected to her as a character. And a little bit of a Mary Sue, herself. What I like about this drug addiction plot point is that we’re exploring a bit more of her character. For better or for worse. Characters need to experience hardships in order to grow. That’s what makes us care about them. You don’t like this drug addiction plot because of what it’s doing to Izzy, fine. Guess what? You’re not actually supposed to enjoy her becoming a drug addict. That’s not the point. What I like that this arc is doing is it’s starting to peel back the layers of Izzy. We’re finding that despite how bad-ass we perceive her to be, she doesn’t feel like she is. Everyone around her believes that she’s the strongest and one of the best but she doesn’t believe that, herself. The vampire venom, initially makes her feel like she truly is strong. And when she finally overcomes this addiction, that’s where we’re going to see her true strength as both a shadowhunter and a person. Something that people often forget about addiction is that there is no cure for addiction. Once you’re addicted to something, a part of you is always going to crave it. You have to wake up every single day knowing you’re going to have to fight that battle. To find the will to say no. Every single day until you die. And that’s what’s in store for Izzy’s character. She’s not going to be cured of her craving for vampire venom. She’s going to find the strength to wake up every morning and say no. And that’s the character I’m excited to see and I look forward to seeing her journey to recovery. I like that we’re getting more dimensions to Izzy and that’s why I don’t think this plot point is trash. The execution of it has been a little weird at times and I refuse to call this addiction a yin fen addiction because what she’s addicted to is not yin fen – it’s vampire venom – but I do enjoy what we’re getting at the heart of this plot. Development on who Izzy is as a person, deep down. A lot of people were very quick to trash Izzy in this episode on how easily she succumbed to her addiction when face to face with the vampires and it very nearly resulted in Simon’s death. Me personally, I felt that it was very important that this scene existed. Earlier on in the episode, Simon wanted to recommend certain addiction meetings that Izzy might want to attend to help her deal with her addiction. Izzy completely shoots him down because that’s what anyone who has an addiction initially does. They don’t want to admit that they might need help and it’s very consistent with the Izzy we’ve been seeing. She’s dealing with her issues of not being strong enough so the last thing she wants to admit is that she isn’t actually strong enough to deal with this and she needs help. But in this scene, she realizes that Simon very nearly died because she was so desperate for a hit. Her addiction was hindering her ability to do her job and someone she cared about almost died as a result. She realized in that moment, that she does need help and asks Simon to refer her to one of those meetings. The first step to recovery is admitting that you do have a problem. As I’ve said, I’m very excited to see where this angle of the plot is going to go and I really hope Shadowhunters isn’t going to drop it and just have her miraculously cured. If that happens, I’m going to seriously have to question my decision to stick with this show until its cancellation.

But I didn’t like everything about Sizzy this episode. The character moments of Izzy and Simon and Sizzy as a whole, was great. But I did not like that Izzy used Raphael’s sister as a way to get Raphael to stop bullying Simon. I also didn’t like that as uneasy as Simon was with the plan, he still opted to do it. Izzy is extremely family oriented. I don’t think it’s consistent with her character. Izzy is extremely protective of her own family so I don’t believe she would condone threatening someone’s family for something as small as a bullying issue. A plot like that may work with shows like The Vampire Diaries or The Originals because those characters are morally ambiguous to a certain extent but that’s not who the Shadowhunters characters are. Simon also shouldn’t have let Izzy talk him into it particularly since he’s been down that road with Raphael before. Raphael once threatened his mother. The character moments between Sizzy were great. I laughed so hard in that moment when Raphael’s sister told them that they looked good together…they really, really do. The actual plot in this episode revolving around Sizzy I just feel is very inconsistent with their characters.

Here We Go With The Music Again

Come on, you guys must’ve known I was going to bring this up. I, of course, am referring to that fight-training sequence between Clary and Jace. Once again, we have an otherwise okay scene. They used a fight scene to exposit information which I approve of but they also used techno music in the background which I don’t necessarily approve of. And this scene was particularly bad. I think out of all of the fight-training sequences with techno music, this scene was the worst. Not in terms of fight choreography. The fight choreography between Jace and Clary was decent. The dialogue was okay. But this music messed with the tone so bad. It messed with the pacing. And it was entirely too loud. Who is in charge of mixing this show’s audio and what are they thinking? I don’t have a problem with this show using techno music in their fight scenes. If it’s done right, it could actually amp you up. The problem is the show isn’t doing it right. This scene was the worst of all of them, though. I had to really strain to hear what the actors were saying. The point of these scenes is to exposit information in a creative manner so they don’t exposit information while walking down a hallway but their use of techno music in these scenes defeats the purpose if we can’t hear the information the show is trying to exposit. The real tragedy is that Jace had a sass line that I couldn’t completely hear and it really took away the effect of the line. You know how I love it when TV Show Jace gets sassy. Well, the music was so loud that I could barely understand what he was being sassy about and it was a real shame.

I also noticed that a lot of people are raving about this scene because apparently, “the Clace chemistry was through the roof.” I don’t know. I wasn’t feeling it. There was something between them but I wasn’t really feeling anything romantic. It felt more like two friends working out. Maybe there’s something wrong with me but I just can’t bring myself to care about TV Show Clace. They make absolutely no sense to me as a couple. TV Show Sizzy makes sense. TV Show Malec makes sense. TV Show Climon makes sense. Even TV Show Rizzy makes sense. But TV Show Clace? I got nothing. I’m in my late 20s. I need a little more foundation than two attractive people being breathless around each other in order to call it chemistry. For me, they were breathless because they were swinging metal swords around. But whatever. TV Show Clace is just something I have to tolerate. It may never make sense to me. There are just some couples you can’t ship no matter how hard a show tries to make you ship them. And trust me, Shadowhunters with their promos are trying SO hard to make the fandom ship them. Here’s an idea, how about you spend some actual time developing why these characters care about each other instead of saying, “Ship them because the plot dictates you need to ship them.” As always, my offer still stands for anyone to explain to me why they ship them. And that’s not any sort of derogatory dig into your choice of ships. I really want to know why you ship them.

Just like with Mea Maxima Culpa, this was a perfectly decent episode. There were some nice character moments; some nice ideas for plots that just continues to fall flat. Pretty much the standard for a Shadowhunters episode. I’d probably give this episode a B-. I kind of sort of liked it. I am intrigued to find out what’s going to happen in future episodes. I just hope Shadowhunters can break their streak of being underwhelming with how they execute their plots. For the most part, their plot points are interesting ideas; the show just doesn’t commit to them.

That’s about all I have. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this episode. Did you love it? Did you hate it? Do you agree? Do you disagree? Just remember to be respectful of everyone’s opinions even if you don’t agree with them. never make
