Malec - Blog Posts
Hey y’all! Myself and my friend noticed there was a big hole in the TSC fandom - namely, that there isn’t a Discord server for us all to come together and appreciate/freak out over our favourite Shadowhunters.
So we decided to fix it! Here is your official notice of the creation of The Downworld, a place for us to talk theories, go crazy over our beloved ships, worship those characters that maybe don’t get enough love fandom-wide, and of course, appreciate the absolute genius that is Cassandra Clare.
All we ask is that you be kind and respectful to each other, and agree to our server rules that’ll you see when you join. The server is also 18+ only, so unfortunately we won’t be able to allow minors to join.
If you’d be interested in joining, please feel free to reach out to me or @timesconvert and we’ll get the ball rolling - don’t be scared; unlike Jordan, we don’t bite!
i adore malec as a ship but their hardcore stans take over all the other tags (don't even try to argue bc i can never find a fic with clace that isn't malec centric) and i would genuinely rather chew off my own arm than interact with some of them. y'all were absolutely insufferable.
anyways here have some art of my favourite tsc gays bc i refuse to let them be ruined for me
The only valid ship dynamic:
Person A: HOHOHOHOHO TIME TO DO SOME DUMB SHIT
Person B: DO A FLIP!
*later, when the dumb shit went horribly, horribly wrong*
Person B: you fucking idiot, what the hell is wrong with you. That was so incredibly stupid, I cannot believe your dumbass really thought that was gonna fucking work out, I TOLD you it would go bad!
Person A: *in a full body cast* worth it
And he’s honestly so real for that, an icon even
Some of y’all: why is Alec so obsessed with Magnus in all your fics 🙄🙄
Canon Alec, so happy that Magnus agreed to go on a second date with him:
Soulmate AU prompt
Okay idk if this has been made already
But like when you first touch your soulmate color blooms on the skin and stays where you first touch. Y’all know that au already. But
What if it’s villain vs hero and the villain has the hero pinned down ( not skin on skin) and the hero is desperate to get free but the villain just cups their cheek and says “ poor poor hero” or something and color blooms on the hero’s cheek and the villain just freezes.
“I don’t want the world. I want you”🖤🌎
“Alexander. My beautiful Alexander”🖤
He wondered if you could be exhausted without knowing it, if hope could be lost not all at once but could slip away gradually, day by day, and vanish before you ever realized.
The Bane chronicles, Cassandra Clare
Tian took a breath. “Do you know what it’s like,” he said, his voice ragged, “for your love to be illegal?”
Alec threw up his hands in exasperation. “Tian. Yes!”
“Obviously yes,” put in Jace. “Big-time.”
Lmaoo hes aiming this story at the WORST people. theyre all gonna be like "bro. i feel u. i am in the same boat. and i got through without pledging allegiance to sammael"
We're gonna die tonight because of Malec
Can you believe Alec Lightwood was only 23 when he found his soulmate after accepting he would never find love because of who he is? He always hide behind work,shotting down his feelings because he thought love would never find it's way to him? He rarely smiled. And then Magnus came and everything is changed. Alec started to open up,he started to smile more and in the first time in his life he felt...alive
The history book on the shelf. Is always repeating itself ...

TOP 3 SHADOWHUNTERS SHIPS AND WHY- GO!! BONUS POINTS IF YOU CAN SHARE A THE TITLE OF A SONG YOU THINK FITS THE SHIP
The one at the top has got to be Malec, and their canon song War of Hearts by Ruelle. Aside the canon song... 🤔 I think maybe My Nocturnal Serenade by Yohio
Izzy and Clary of course slides into the top 3! Girls Like Girls by Hayley Kiyoko would be the song, oh and Slumber Party by Ashnikko
And for Number 3 of the Top 3... The vampire bitches, Simon and Raphael. As for songs, Poison by Alice Cooper and Jezebel by The Rasmus
that chemistry!!!!!!! i just can’t!!!!
Just can’t stop watching that kiss! aghhhh!!
there's just something about fantasy/sci fi romance that no other ships can compare to. the desperation to stay together, to stay alive. the stakes and trials they get put through. the depth the relationships get to to survive and to hold on to life and sanity, and to each other. the connection they get from going through so much individually and together. incomparable. often depressing, but absolutely incomparable.
Hey. Can someone help me find a fic on AO3? It's a Malec fic where Alec gets sent back in time. He's hurt, but helps a vampire he sees who leads him to past Magnus, Catarina and Ragnor. They have a hard time believing that Magnus would ever fall in love with a Shadowhunter and then he promptly passes out on Cat's floor. At some point, they go into Alec's memories for more intel on who sent him back in time. It's +20 chapters if I remember clearly. Please help.

How perfect is it that Magnus decides to take Alexander's surname? to unite it with his own, making it something unique?
Now, I'm not up to date with the books, but from what I gathered Alexander is it for Magnus. Before Alec, Magnus never married, never even bothered to imagine a forever with someone. Alec, in his simplicity and contradictions, has managed to tear down and entirely destroy that wall that had been up for centuries. And while Magnus desperately wants to hope for their forever, desperately wants it, he knows how it is going to end. He knows Alexander is going to pass someday and what he decides to do?
He takes is surname.
I can very well imagine Magnus never removing their wedding ring, even after Alec's passing, which would be a declaration on itself. But the surname?
He is not only saying "oh, he was my love, we were married once". He is incorporating him in his identity. We know how important identity is for a warlock, they usually choose their names for themselves. And Magnus is choosing to making Alec part of it, part of himself.
In a couple of centuries, when the present will only be a chapter in the book of history, Magnus still be Magnus Lightwood-Bane. He would still be Magnus Bane, but he would still be declaring, centuries from now, that he loved a shadowhunter once. That there's a part of him that still will be loving that shadowhunter. That he will probably never stop.
I don't ever want another love.
