i made this edit hehe u.u

The Wicked Powers Snippet

This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it

I don’t even care that Raphael is only helping Izzy because she’s in withdrawal. I. am. so. into. this.

• “No one’s seen an angel in hundreds of years” who else is disappointed the angel was just a mangy old man. I see them on the street all the time
  
• Alec *is* the Ceremonial Party Master … until he immediately asks Magnus to do it which is kinda disappointing because i actually want to know what kind of party Alec would have thrown it probably would have involved archery or hot dogs and then we could have heard him say ‘I read that children enjoy hot dogs’
• when you describe the kiss between you and your best friend as ‘weird in the best way possible’ and you just know it’s going to last 4ever

Jace reads one book and immediately becomes a cat lady

this cat

~ stop thinking about boning your sister dude that’s not cool ~

• Magnus magically creating bowls of milk for the cats so he can befriend them is legit my favorite thing that has ever happened on this show
  

Jace saying he knows Alec and Magus slept together because they’re parabatai so he can sense that Alec is ‘happier’ and Magnus has the only acceptable reaction

• “Do you think anyone’s going to notice that we’re dating?” Simon said while giggling weirdly at Clary and holding her hand and staring into her eyes and making kissy noises and and and
  
• you know what 10 year old shadowhunter children just love? salsa dancing apparently

i kinda want these two to fuck

• OK who drugged Simon into thinking maybe he doesn’t want to get into Clary’s pants anymore, i’m pretty sure that has been his only goal since puberty
• it’s not a party until your adoptive mother tries to murder your with a hatchet
  

SERIOUSLY IF THE WRITERS DON’T PURSUE THIS I WILL QUIT THIS SHOW

• I knew that orange cat was an untrustworthy a-hole
  

“Valentine is coming for me, isn’t he?” ”Which is why I’m never letting you out of my sight”

“FINALLY”

how long until we get the scene where Clary has to change her clothes real quick and she pretends like Jace can’t see her but she knows he definitely can and I AM HERE FOR IT

This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it

• Valentine’s Spider-Man leap in the opening scene. I hope he was unsure about whether or not to do it and he asked his goons and they were all like, “Yes, boss, sounds very cool, it will show off your athleticism and stuff pls don’t kill me” 
  
• Of course Clary confides in the one corrupt Iron Sister, no one ever said she had good instincts 

when u drink ur slurpee too fast

Clary: did you hear that? 

Person I’ve never seen before: Hear what?

Clary: WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT OF YOU, YOU USELESS GLASSES WEARING PERSON

• Magnus’s “Jace the Cock Block” solution is to magically turn on the radio… I was hoping he was going to like teleport him to Trump’s gold encrusted bathroom or something, I mean that would’ve have gotten the message across better than just turning up Marvin Gaye real loud. How much you wanna bet Jace will just come out right when they’re about to kiss again to turn the station to Third Eye Blind or some other 90s alt rock band & then just be like “Hey roomies, whats up?”
  
• Clary checking out Simon’s abs… is it just me or does she have literally zero chemistry with any of the dudes on this show
• Shadowhunters send an official bat signal via text. I wish I could send that to everyone whenever I post a new recap
• All of Jace’s runes are chosen specifically for their sex related advantages 
• Izzy working in a jab at Simon while going off on Clary and I’m just like in awe of this fabulous woman

WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU GLASSES PERSON

I’M SUSPICIOUS BECAUSE WHY WOULD ANY SHADOWHUNTER WEAR GLASSES, USE A FUCKING VISION RUNE FOR THAT SHIT GODDAMN

• I like when this show introduces a new location and then everyone just goes there all the time & acts like they always have. That place this season is The Hunter’s Moon
• How much u wanna bet Magnus will eventually save Izzy from her yin fen downward spiral and the writers will just hit that ‘Magnus Resolves Plot line’ button once again
• Luke: “I told you Clary, I used all the department’s resources, there’s no sign of her” *she walks into the room* Luke: “fuckin useless cop career”
  
• “I’m a spiller.” I’ll take ‘things you should never say aloud for $100,’ Alex
• Part of Jace’s downward spiral is becoming ~ The Pick Up Artist ~
• Alec naming his made-up girlfriend ‘Jessica Hogblew,’ proving once and for all that he is 100% gay

“Jace we gotta go” “I’d love to old man, but I’m busy, now buzz off”

“It’s Clary”

• Kewl rooftop lightning storm fight scene where Clary can suddenly fight good? She’s really good at pulling skills out of her ass when needed
  
• An angel gives Jace and Clary a coded message via a video game design student’s first school project. Nice to know angels support the arts

This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it

I’m pretty sure the Iron Sisters’ look is “late night crafting sesh that got out of hand & now we just have random shit stuck to us forever”

that awkward feeling when you’re not sure if you’re ‘interrupting something’ when u walk into a room where Clary and Jace are alone

is this brother and sister time? or “brother and sister” time? (I just gagged. im sorry)

• every time Raphael calls Simon a condescending nick name (bud, amigo) I gain 2x health points
  
• Luke ‘still hasn’t called’ or shown up in the last 2 eps…so what other role was Isaiah Mustafa working on i wonder
• Magnus’s ‘emergency’ is a ploy to rescue Alec from a guilty conscious and save the rest of us from a boring mopey plot line proving once & for all he is the best character on this show
• imagining Luke being like “I’m so sad” *eyes turn green* *turns into wolf* and someone seeing it and just being like “fuck that guy’s so sad have you ever seen anyone that sad before he literally just turned into a fucking werewolf”
• when Aldertree sends a drug addict and a newb on a very important & exclusive trip to see the Iron Sisters and you’re just starting to think that maybe this guy is up to something
• ‘this pool will destroy demonic beings on contact’ *side eyes Clary* ‘you first’
• lol Alec hates IPAs just like everyone else with proper taste buds
• Simon is allergic to clay. Fucking CLAY
• Maia’s ‘been thru some stuff’ story is literally going to class naked. and here I thought it was going to be the fact that she got clawed in the neck by a werewolf or something

Alec’s ‘this is good’ face

Forever 21′s lace dresses are the only choice for all your demon-destroying pool going needs

• when the pool starts boiling Izzy and the Iron Sisters just watch as Clary tries to save her and then they call Izzy a liar… these bitches don’t mess around, how much you wanna bet whoever let their craft sesh get out of hand is dead now
  
• Maia: Full disclosure, I like the same nerdy shit you do. Simon: *almost passes out from all the blood in his body instantly rushing to his dick*

this bar has almost as many swizzle sticks as Magnus has had sexual partners

• ‘ichor duty’ is literally just cleaning blood off weapons. And you thought Shadowhunters were soldiers who took pride in their weapons and cleaned them themselves LOL u wrong they have a bitch for that
  

Aldertree has a recording of Jace refusing to pledge allegiance to the Clave but more importantly admitting that he still wants to bang his sister

#wrecked

how long do u think it will be before Clary sees it

• Luke is so sad he almost eats some campers. I guarantee u Ed Sheeran has never felt a sadness this profound
  

“Hi guys”

#dammitJace

• Jace needs a spare room. Seriously how any of them survived before they were friends with Magnus, he helps them with EVERYTHING
  
• uhh why they are they letting a past circle member be an Iron Sister? i call bullshit
  

This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it

• Alec, dealing with his emotions by shooting arrows into the sky and then blaming himself for lots of stuff (admittedly accurate stuff, he didn’t rescue Jace at any point in the last 5 episodes) while shitty loud music plays in the background to undermine the emotional weight of the scene, lest we forget this show is for the #teenz
  
• Simon getting a hard on when Clary tells him she was sad that he died. Good god Simon reallyyyyy needs a girlfriend. Or just like a girl to make eye contact with him accidentally on the street
• “You were dead, but then you came back…what if we can get my mom back?” Clary is the person in every sci-fi horror film that sets in motion the events that gets everyone else killed 
  
• “Sometimes there are things you just” *stares wistfully over Clary’s shoulder* “have to accept.” Sounds like Simon is maybe realizing something about himself and Clary … or he just got distracted again by the fact that Clary said she was sad when he died. what more evidence do u need that a girl is falling in love with u?
• Magnus has the knife that his mother killed herself with on display? I just got a glimpse of a very different Magnus then the one that is usually on this show

You want me to bring your mom back from the dead? … how about a picture instead?

lol fuckin magnus

• “What does OK even mean?” brought to you by pre-teen melodrama turnt up to 11

look out, Clary ‘Nancy Drew’ Fairchild just entered the building

how much u wanna bet she googled “warlocks who can bring my mom back from the dead” on the giant computer screen in the crowded room

• ‘Can u really bring people back from the dead?’ ‘Why don’t I show you with this crow that conveniently died just this morning like five feet away’ god these shows are so HOLLYWOOD and FAKE
• yeesh what is it with Jace and getting shit on by the strong male father figure types in his life? not everyone can be blessed with a Luke… who disappeared immediately after Joceyln died. I guess all dads on this show suck actually

um

what the actual fuck

• sidenote for book nerds: isn’t yin fen what Jem was addicted to? I didn’t know it made you orgasm? no wonder he never got out of bed *cue comedy drum sound*
  
• Alec, encouraging Clary’s re-animator bullshit & disappointing me for the 2nd time

*gets asked if he’s Clary’s boyfriend*

*warlock lady is vague*

*little girl won’t say hello to him*

ok he redeemed himself

• Simon moves home and leaves his blood thermos out on his desk. what is this vampire amateur hour? 
  

“Becky told me you’re keeping blood in your room.”

Blood? what is blood? ha ha ha, he haw ha ha

• that warlock lady trying to pull a Rosemary’s Baby on Clary and this episode just went off the rails at 1,000mph
  
• so like how do you know the difference between when a demon wants to impregnate you and when it just wants to kill you? how are mundanes having sex with black goo swap creatures and not remembering it? HOW DOES WARLOCK CONCEPTION WORK AND ALSO WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING 

This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it

#DENIED

• Clary: What can i do to help? Jace: “You can stay away from me. No matter what happens, never come near me again.” O FUK where the shades at because this bitch just got burnt
  
• “We’re done here” he said to his sister, who he wanted to touch like a girl who is definitely not his sister. Then he watched as a giant man with sewn shut eyes dragged her away, her protests echoing off the prison walls as he faded into the darkness of his cell, which was a metaphor for him retreating into the darkness of his soul–his demon soul that made him want to inappropriately touch his sister. That’s an excerpt from my fanfic “Dojo Valentine", tell ur friends they’ll def want 2 check it out it’s steamy
  
• wow Raj really came out of no where and is already a frontrunner for my least favorite character 
• “He’s locked up in the city of bones how do you think he’s doing?” the subtext of this is: MOM stop asking about the welfare of your son it makes me LASH OUT to cover up my DEEP DESIRE to touch his dick 
  

‘move to Idris with me’ 

the Clave is stepping up their torture game

the next step is to get some sharks to go with the frickin laser beams

• Luke deciding to leave his pack behind at the drop of a hat. he really is like the worst pack leader possible, honestly worse than teen wolf. omg that just make me think what if Stiles was on this show? and all he did was constantly point out how uncomfortable it is when Jace and Clary stare at each other too long? I’m taking this one to the writers 
  

the many faces of women having to listen to Raj

• “My mom wants me to go with her. We went through so much to get her back, but I just don’t know…” when ur loyalty to ur mom who you just rescued from being kidnapped is tested at the prospect of leaving your brother/dream man behind #Shadowhunterproblems
• “No wonder Alec ditched you for a warlock” of course the demon is a sexist dick. or maybe that is just Raj and he’s not really possessed? besides the black eyes i really can’t tell tbh
  
• Alec shooting Raj in the leg instead of the head is the first time he’s really disappointed me

ALdertree: “Do you love her the way a brother loves a sister?” Me: o SHIT Jace:

• how the fuck does everyone know this falcon story
  
• life in prison just because he doesn’t agree with the government? somebody make sure Trump never sees this show and gets any ideas
• i know this is like a teen soap on freeform and all but Jace actually tried to commit suicide over the prospect of facing life in prison this shit is dark af
• you guys im pretty sure no one can do anything on this show without Magnus’s help. seriously half the characters would be dead already if he wasn’t around 

‘what did i do’

I certainly hope it was ‘kill Raj’

oh sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

now Clary doesn’t have to go to Idris i guess

“just watching my mom get murdered” “just watching myself murder Clary’s mom”

*crickets*

• Camille is such an asshole how could Magnus ever love her even 200 years ago honestly
  
• lol Valentine is mad Jace isn’t impressed with how hard it was for him to break into the prison to rescue him. I’m not sure if ‘perfect dad’ or ‘best dad’ is better here
• Clary killing a smoke demon with a sword..for when the episode is over in 2 minutes and she’s already holding a sword

Clary needs to be consoled

CLARY NEEDS TO BE CONSOLED

lol Simon has to get what he can take

This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it

• HOW did we not get the scene where Magnus finds out Alec did ill-advised magic and is now in a parabatai coma?? I honestly feel like something has been stolen from me & the show writers should apologize to me personally via twitter
• Jace, looking for his stele first thing after washing up on shore, then realizing he should probably also check to see if Clary is still alive. it’s called priorities 
  

classic “this isn’t what you think”

why doesn’t that ever work

• “She was a sweet kid.” “No she wasn’t.” Luke’s inner bitch is really coming out this episode
  

when you only see the mustache through another’s eyes

• “Oh great, Clary’s safe, we can all go home now.” Magnus, KILLING IT as usual
• Clary describing Alec’s current state as being “stuck inside some kind of nightmare and now he can’t wake up,” which in layman’s terms is called ‘a coma’

Jace’s face when he realizes he walked into the one bar in NYC that isn’t only full of werewolves, but specifically werewolves whose relatives he also happened to kidnap

Jace has now reached full horrible no good very bad day status

• DO NOT FUCK WITH TAYTO
• “Hey mom I got your messages, I just want to let you know I’m not dead” classic opening line when calling ur mom from college i know I’ve said it at least a dozen times
  
• Raphael telling Simon that Camille is his ‘sire’ and I’m just like
• “Whose side are you on?” *removes metaphorical sunglasses* “I’m on the side of the law” Luke laying on the tough guy police officer vibes so thick I thought I accidentally changed it to CBS
• “Shut up Raj”
• the fact that they decided it would just be easier to cast two slightly younger looking men to be 18 year old Alec and Jace, probably based solely on the fact that they already have to shut down filming at least once a day to shave Matthew Daddario who looks like he had a five o’ clock shadow at birth amirite

seriously, why won’t Raj shut up

• the doctor talking about Jace’s blood: “whatever’s going on with this guy, it’s not normal.” this is some very serious and scientific medical vernacular going on here I hope none of the audience got lost
  
• why did Luke bring Maia to the hospital with him to find Jace, when she clearly just wants to kill him? I’m starting to think maybe Luke isn’t very good at his job? Like either of his jobs, cop or pack leader, this plays into poor decision making for both
• when Clary and Simon find Simon’s mom and she’s just having a cup of coffee in a nice coffee shop and…it’s a little anti-climatic? like i thought she’d be doing shots in the werewolf bar with Tayto at least
  
• Why didn’t Luke just flash his glowing green eyes and tell the other werewolves to ‘stand down’ like an hour ago? it really would have saved a lot of time
• when you realize that Alec’s parabatai coma is really just a series of flashbacks and an excuse to see young Izzy bossing Alec around which is honestly ok by me 
• just when you think Alec is dead and then he’s…not #yay

Browbeaten Jace is definitely not my favorite Jace

Sassy Jace (sometimes known as Sassafrass Jace, when he’s feeling a touch more lighthearted) is probably my favorite although I do also really enjoy You’ve Got to Be Kidding Me Jace which is not to be confused with I’ve Had Enough of This Shit Jace. Which is your favorite?

some people think i’m being too mean to Clary in my recaps so I just want to end this by saying Clary is the best that ever lived pls don’t hate me the end

This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it

• It’s pretty obvious the opening scene is not real Clary, because she was calm and stayed out of the way, and if it had been real Clary she would have yelled about how she was being treated unfairly at least once and then accidentally manage to kill someone & then claim it as pure skill
• Let’s play a game of spot the season 2 upgrades:
• runes are no longer sad looking bruises, but actual tattoos
• no more fight scenes filmed in ~*blur vision*~ because they had the budget to teach some actual fight choreography & use slo mo
• seraph blades are made out of metal instead of glo in the dark plastic
• CGI no longer done on MS paint
• everyone’s hair is slightly better except for Magnus who has a goatee now
  
• dat opening sequence 
• Alec’s RAGE means there are actaul emotions in his voice and for a minute i don’t recognize him

when the beating is so bad ur runes start to wash off

the fact that the new Head of the NY Institute took the time to light a bunch of candles because what official interrogations are usually lacking is ambiance

• Clary’s interrogation goes poorly and will likely have ramifications that she will try and blame on someone else and/or complain that it’s somehow not her fault
  
• from hanging your son by his arms & having him beaten to making him homemade spaghetti sauce, you really gotta do it all to be a well rounded dad these days
  
• Jace “father of the year” Wayland: broken, but still sassy
  

this hologram

• new drinking game: take a shot every time Clary says “you can’t do this!” when they very clearly can
• “I’m not leaving Jocelyn.” “I’m going to have to insist.” “Call me when you can.” Luke giving up at the first sign of a polite British suggestion 
  

Storm?

• Clary “I’m a quick study” Fray: distraught, but still full of herself
  

all the junk out front of the Jade Wolf, because nothing says ‘mmm i’m hungry’ like a bunch of trash

• Clary closing her eyes and squeezing Jace’s fingerless glove real tight, hoping that’s how you track someone
  
• the fact that we just discovered Jace is without one of this fingerless gloves, which might be the most distressing thing about his situation right now
• Jocelyn doing what we’ve all wanted to do at some point: lock Clary in a shed and run away
• Valentine telling Jace his demon blood is the reason he’s attracted to his sister & will eventually start murdering people. father of the year? more like father of the decade
• “What have you done?” Clary, always asking the questions everyone knows the answers to already
  

This is a very special show. Here are my favorite parts from it

Jace’s face when Magnus asks him to call Alec over to to share his special virgin Shadowhunter energy

“How did Magnus discover the source of my life force nooooooooooo”

• “Sometimes I feel like my art, my memories, my life…it all vanished with that memory demon.” #teenlife
  
• flashback = Clary’s mom using a sword that looks so heavy it might tip her over but she beats the bad guy who just murdered like 1000 people single handedly with it because equality #feminism #thanksShadowhunters 
  

that sweet sweet virgin shadowhunter energy

when Simon cock blocks you AGAIN

“that was the third time today Simon, and this time I mean it when I say I’m never talking to you again”

• “you remind me of me when I was young, and by that I mean when I was a dangerous idiot.” because sometimes you really just can’t do enough to earn that Mom of the Year award
  

when Clary thinks Luke might be her dad

the moment Luke realizes he raised a complete idiot

Clary’s moment of self realization

“Did I just say something really stupid? … no of course not next question”

• “In the end, our love did more damage to Valentine than anything anybody else could have done.” Kinda glossing over his egomaniacal, homicidal, xenophobic, and hate-filled tendencies… unless Luke’s love really caused all that in which case he should avoid loving anyone else in the future because that shit is hardcore
  

when your art lacks subtlety 

• “We have to get the cup.” “But I don’t know where it is!” CLARY WE’VE ESTABLISHED THAT YOU DON’T KNOW SHIT BUT THANK YOU FOR YOUR INPUT 
  
• Izzy transforms into Mega Bitch #2 by putting on her mom’s clothing and wearing her hair in a ponytail. ‘and now it’s time to belittle as many people as possible in the least amount of time GO (except Jace who’s perfect)(I mean for one of my surrogate children of course)(I’m not sweating YOU’RE SWEATING)’

the biscotti 

you guys i knew that motherfucker was coming back

now we just have to hope its destiny truly is to commit murder fingers crossed it goes for Clary first

a) i have a piece of funfetti cake in front of me b) I’m fucking cold & can’t get out of bed c) I just realized I never finished recapping the 1st season of Shadowhunters so put on ur fingerless leather gloves and slick back ur hair bc a recap of episode 6 IS COMING AT YOU (after I watch it and write it)

- old recaps here -

Q:Did Jace’s friendship with Simon helped Jace?
D: Jace had a particular view on the downworlders and having a friend as Simon really helped him with the humanity.

Q:What did playing Jace meant to you?
D: The key thing about playing Jace is about the balance relating to the relationships.

Q:Which moment was the hardest to do and which one you loved the most?
D: One of my favourite moments was the scene with the parabatai oath because it was a very pure and honest scene. The hardest was the scene inside Jace’s mind.

Q:What did you learn from Jace ans what did Jace learn from you?
D: Jace learned that he should stay off for a day and chill out, I learned that I have to let people being part of my life.

Q:How have you being keeping up lately being in LA?
D: People usually think actors have a lot of parties but in reality we invest a lot of time in finding new parts.

Q:How do you recover from a day of work?
D: It truly is a recovery because after a full day at work we’re exhausted. I used to go out to dinner with Matt when we finished filming together.

Q:What’s your favourite (British) dish and what do you miss the most from the UK?
D: My favourite dish is the Sunday roast, my mum does the best one, and of course I miss my family the most.

Q: What’s your favourite brand of tea?
D: I like the tea very sweet and with milk. I don’t really miss it because I can find it here too.

Q:Which character would you have liked Jace to have more interactions with?
D: Meliorn. I really liked the scenes with him and Jade is amazing.

Q:What prompted Jace to be Alec’s parabatai?
D: I see parabatai as soulmates, like a missing piece of you. So when they realised that, being parabatai is the next step.

Q:What was it like playing Christian Ozera? And are there any similiarities with Jace?
D: I adored Vampire Academy and we had a lot of fun.

Q:If you could work with your cast mates, what project would it be?
D: Matt and I want to do space cowboys. 

Q:What is your favorite location among the places you have filmed in?
D: When I filmed Take Down we were in Wales, in the coast, and it was amazing. I’d love to work back home.

Q:Since it’s suicidal awareness month, what was your experience in Shadowhunters and has it made you more aware of your mental health?
D: It made me more profoundly aware about it, because suicide was a concept for Jace for a couple of times. On Shadowhunters the resolution was always the same, relying on your friends and family.

Simon and Izzy “Why are being so weird?” (Almost KISS)

it’s 1:02 am and I finally watched the shadowhunters finale and I love it, they give us gays what we wanted and I will always be grateful for that.
