I think it’s very interesting that Alec’s full name is Alexander.

Alexander means ‘man’s defender’ which is often his tactical position during fights. He defends the perimeter with his bow and often gets the brunt of attacks.

Although it fits perfectly with his identity as a Shadowhunter, it also fits nicely with his personality.

Alec is very defensive over the people he loves:

- He threatens Clary over Jace

- Kills Meliorn when searching for Magnus (insane moment that cemented him as my favourite character)

- Was adverse to Simon dating his sister (who he’s extremely protective of)

“Where's Simon?" Clary interrupted.

Isabelle wobbled. "He's a rat," she said darkly.

Did he do something to you?" Alec was full of brotherly concern. "Did he touch you? If he tried anything-"

No, Alec," Isabelle said irritably. "Not like that. He's a rat."

Even with his sons he’s always defending them, he worked hard to make sure Rafael was adopted properly.

Not to mention all the things he does for the Downworlder community.

Alec spent a lot of his life worrying about being unable to live up to expectations, only to become what his name represented.

Alexander doesn’t just mean defender, bro IS the defender 🔥

Talking to my mom feels like a constant “justify your answer” in an exam. That's it. That's the post.

Come home. Cone home a and scream at me. Come home and fight with me. Come home and break my heart if you must. Just come home.

And that's me sobbing in a corner if my room

And I cannot be judged because I know you all did

everything in this life is temporary. except that fandom hyperfixation from when you were 14. that thang will be with you forever there's no escaping.

why is back sleeping so difficult and uncomfortable when it's supposedly the only way to sleep that doesn't slowly implode all of your bones. the human body seeks its own ruin with the fervor of a cordyceps ant

Can we just all agree that mathematically speaking it's clearly 1? Did y'all pay even an ounce of attention in class or did u just eat ur eraser? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

-It's been my honor

I read while sobbing uncontrollably and wondering if I curse Dain enough, I'll be able to trespass the book and beat him with it.

It's the "you never tell me anything, you're just so cold to me!" person and then when you do tell them something they either:

1. Use it in an argument.

2. Tell everyone behind your back

Like...sir???? What sort of cheap 2 dollar FBI agent do you think u are?

Female rage is knowing that Maria Anna (Nannerl) Mozart was even more talented than Mozart himself and was considered the most skilled artist in all Europe. Then she faded into oblivion once she turned 18 because she was no longer allowed to play for the public and became her brother's shadow.
