Like my heart was not ready or thinking Malex would be getting a proposal tonight

BUT THEY DID

The way we could have had a whole season of Alex communicating with Michael through flashing lights and ringing bells, seeing Michael having one-sided arguments with Alex where you can *feel* his sass, Michael quietly whispering how he misses Alex and he's working so hard to get him home, Bonnie making a pass at Michael and something exploding nearby, and then Michael going frantic when the lights and stuff suddenly go crazy and then quit and Alex stops answering....like, we could have ABSOLUTELY still had so much Malex/Alex in feeling and in spirit without Tyler being there if he was unable to film. Vlamis would have absolutely sold it, (as would Trevino and Jeanine because we should have had the science bros all 3 working together), and it would have kept Alex in the center of the story, and SHOWN us Michael thinking about him all the time, so WHEN something happens, the fear and panic feel more genuine for the character, but also the audience because we would have seen them working together every step of the way.

I just...HOW do you have cosmic soulmates who are so desperate to be together, who are aching to not be separated even for a week or two, have one of them get kidnapped which is what angsty dreams are made of, and then bungle it THIS BADLY? Like, you have to WORK to undercut the narrative this hard, meaning it was an active choice to sideline Alex/Malex from the story.

we're better get a damn malex handprint or I'll riot

I'm freaking the fuck out....

wait you’re telling me RNM ended with Liz Ortecho choosing not to visit an alien planet, with all the scientific fun she could’ve had with that? lmao right.

my friend dm on twitter talking about miluca endgame and that I should be here for it so here I am for miluca!

not gonna lie I really thought the show was canceled as it should’ve been too but if they go the malex route I’m sorry but it’s definitely gonna get cancelled because no one was watching that show for echo or malex but for miluca like we only watched shadowhunters for malec and if they aren’t there anymore it’ll be cancelled for sure that’s just how it is! will I be happy I get miluca at then end even tho show will get cancelled when it’s time for their endgame sure but oh well let’s go Miluca!

Isobel taking over Woman As Warrior I'm gonna cry

Still surprised Cassandra didn't break Obliviati Mori on accident

By MY sacrifice, our town is made safe.

[ID: A digital painting of Roswell from The Adventure Zone, set in a canyon-like setting on a sunny day.

Roswell is a vermilion flycatcher in adult male plumage: a small, bright red songbird with a dark gray mask that extends all the way to their nape, back, wings and tail. They have a silver band around one of their ankles, which has a “spur” on it: a coin with a silver star.

They are perched upon one of the branches of a young tree with a twisting gray trunk and bright greenery. That tree is planted within Roswell’s now lifeless armor, which is shown in a state of partial destruction. There are many holes blasted into its cuirass and lion-like helmet, and the remaining clay of their arm has been baked. Nonetheless, the flycatcher stands almost triumphant, with their crown of red feathers raised. End description.]

I AM SO IN LOVE WITH YOU ITS EMBARRASSING

Finally a Malex “I love you”, only one sided but I will take it.

Okay, no you know what? I’m not done. Because I’m already seeing people slamming Alex stans and saying that the show at least “supported” Tyler during this time and while yeah, he wasn’t fired and written off the show if you think his time off came with no repercussions you haven’t been paying attention. 

The character that he loved and felt so connected to and was so excited to play, got put in a hole in the ground and forgotten about. His soulmate wasn’t even allowed to miss him, or notice he was gone 90% of the time and spent all his scenes with the new girl who kissed him, or his ex, putting their feet up and chilling. Alex wasn’t even allowed to reach out to his cosmic soulmate!! He had to reach out to Michael’s ex, the woman who literally came between them while since season 1 Tyler’s character has not ever been allowed to be hurt or angry about any of that. 

His “friends” didn’t notice he was missing and weren’t allowed to be worried about him either, just called to leave snappy voicemails about him not being there to support THEM when they needed something, and when they DID figure out he was gone, they plotted to keep it from Michael, and when that didn’t work, they actively kept Michael from going after Alex in mean and manipulative ways.

 His brothers and mom as far as we know weren’t even told that Alex was missing despite m*ria supposedly still being on speaking terms with her boyfriend Greg.

Tyler poured his heart into this character and this love story and when he was unable to be there, you know Vlamis had his back and would have carried the Malex storyline for both of them, happily! We know he can do glassy eyes over inanimate objects, we know he can deliver feral Michael, we know he can banter with thin air and make us believe he’s having a conversation with “ghost” Alex. But instead of honoring this character and this love story, the character and love story (and fans) were punished with this mess.

Yes, Tyler was unable to be on set and good for him for negotiating his contract to take care of himself. This has never been about him. Remember when I said the emotional beats were big enough that the writers would have to hit some of them by accident and it felt almost purposeful because they had to work to miss all those beats so hard? I hate being right. 

Just perfect 😭

I remember heather saying something about miluca weeding and now there’s so much weeding talk are we finally getting that miluca weeding at season finale?

people saying the new owners are conservatives so I hope this means they are so anti that yt man and he don’t get screen time and we get miluca endgame just because they hate the idea of those yt men way more then they hate a pretty hot black woman happiness like we can hope they better give us our OG canon ship!

WAIT is that the same ring that Max got back from Helena? Imma cry.
