the blackthorns have a thing about getting the herondales involved in their necromancy plans huh
“ I know why you refuse me, Daylighter, and it is not out of some pretended sense of rejection. You are so involved with the Shadowhunters, you think you are one of them. We have seen you with them. Instead of spending your nights in the hunt, as you should, you spend them with Valentine’s daughter. You live with a werewolf. You are a disgrace. ”

Valentine tapped his fingers on the railing. “ I’m no friend to demons, ” he said. “ I am Nephilim, no matter how much I might think the Covenant is useless and the Law fraudulent. A man doesn’t have to agree with his government to be a patriot, does he? It takes a true patriot to dissent, to say he loves his country more than he cares for his own place in the social order. I’ve been vilified for my choice, forced into hiding, banished from Idris. But I am-I will always be-Nephilim. I can’t change the blood in my veins if I wished to-and I don’t. ”

6. Only insert a clean knife into your chest. Rusty ones will cause tetanus. Or infection.

9. Use a rusty knife to cut through most of the noose in a strategic place so that it breaks when your weight is on it.
[Caption: stills of Raphael Santiago from Shadowhunters, accompanied by the quote above. The set includes a moment showing him allying with Shadowhunters to usurp Camille’s place; Magnus healing his wounds after Aldertree tortured him to get information on Camille; and experimenting on Heidi to find out how to become a Daylighter.]

10. We covered the smell of loss with jokes.[Caption: screencaps fromShadowhunters. They combine close-ups of Isabelle and Raphael crying in their last scene of s03e04, when she gives him an ultimatum to leave the city, with them smiling during Magnus and Alec’s wedding in the series finale.]

8. Realize that this love was not your trainwreck, was not the truck that flattened you, was not your Waterloo, did not cause massive hemorrhaging from a rusty knife. That love is still to come.
[Caption: stills of Raphael and Isabelle’s scenes in carious moments of season 3b accompanied by the quote above. The first image contains Raphael watching Isabelle’s back as she walks away from him in s03e04, after giving him an ultimatum. The second one has a picture of the two of them in the food kitchen of episode 15, overlayed with their hands as they held onto each other’s fingers, with a handcuffed Raphael. The third and last image fuses a recently human Raphael looking agitated at the sun through a window, with him and Isabelle standing together in front another window in the Institute; the effect looks as if Raphael is staring at the sun that sneaks behind Isabelle’s head.]

8. It’s not that he wants to be a liar; it’s just that he doesn’t know the truth.[Caption: screencaps of various rizzy scenes (Isabelle telling him she doesn’t want to see him in s02e10; Raphael rejecting her in s02e14; and Isabelle confronting him, teary-eyed, in s03e04).]
