Episode 5 Stronger Than Heaven
Our Nephilim are anything but strong, right now. In fact, they are all fraying at the seems.
Jace slips further and further, mentally, as Lilith continues to strip away his free will.
Alec’s beautiful hazel eyes become more and more green as he allows jealousy to intrude on his relationship with Magnus.
Clary continues to crumble under the weight of her secret.
Only the other side, tho -
Izzy allows her self to give Charlie a shot.
Simon continues to find his inner strength.
Magnus continues to show Alec grace and understanding.
And me? Well, I teeter on the edge of my own sanity as Alec refuses to listen to me. AGAIN!
Oh Magnus, my love, how I wish you had followed your instincts. But, as powerful as you are, Lilith’s power is evil and compelling.
Oh that sweet face!
“What are you going to do, text him?”
Poor Jace. I hate that he is suffering so much at Lilith’s hands. But it is nice to see his sarcastic humor show itself.
Sweet Alec, so earnest and awkward when he talks to Magnus about moving in together.
Magnus makes a good point, but Alec’s face is so heartbreaking. And I hate that Magnus misses it. COMMUNICATION BOYS!!!!!!
Also, how has it only been 2 months?! Their relationship is so intense and epic and sweet and amazing. It feels like so much longer.
Alec!! Don’t look like that!!
I love Simon and Jace’s friendship. Because, despite Jace’s best efforts, that is exactly what it is.
I am proud of Clary for finally talking to someone about what happened with Jace. And I am glad that it is Luke, even if I am still mad at him.
Alec, do not open that box! The fact that you’re looking around, to make sure Magnus does not come in, says that you know YOU SHOULD NOT OPEN THE BOX!!
“If anything will keep me safe, it’s this picture close to my heart. All my love, George.”
Written on the back of a photo Alec finds in the box.
Ugh! Why the hell does this beautiful man never listen to me?!
Jace attacking Jordan is proof that he sees Simon as a friend. Jace is only protective of those he loves.
Poor Simon!
But, damn, I love the strength and integrity that he has now. He’s always been sweet and caring, but he did use to be a bit of a pushover.
Seasons 1 & 2 Simon would have never had the nerve to spit the words “Whose side are you on?” to Jace Herondale.
And definitely not with such venom that it makes Jace look away.
King of brooding, right here. Sorry, Angel, you’ve been dethroned by Alec Lightwood.
I like this conversation between Alec and Andrew. It’s important for Alec to know just what he has done for other Queer Shadowhunters.
I just wish it wasn’t tainted by him thinking that Magnus is in love with this George guy. HE”S NOT ALEC!!!!!
I am proud of Alec for confessing that he went through Magnus’ box. And I love that Magnus was completely understanding. And not shocked at all because he already knew.
I feel for Alec, I really do. But I have never understood jealousy. It has never made sense me. And Magnus has been 100% honest with Alec about his past, from that first date. Alec, my love, you nee to let it go.
“I’m immortal.”
Angry Magnus both fascinates and terrifies me.
As much as their fights stress me out, I do love when Malec makes up.
I really like Charlie and I kind of wish he had stuck around. Atleast for a bit longer.
He really was good for Izzy. But her storylines never did last long. One of the few complaints I have about this show is how neglected Izzy was as a character. Emeraude is a goddess and deserved more.
You do have to admire Clary’s determination to help Jace. The problem is that she’s trying to do everything but the one thing that could actually help him - tell Alec the truth.
Lilith’s demon form is gross.
I love Alec and Jace scenes so much.
Their friendship is so special. And that Parabatai bond is so amazing.
We did not get enough of them in season 3!
I love when Simon sings!!
This show really keeps fucking with Jace. However, Dom plays the bad boy so damn well so I can’t be mad at it.
See ya next time for A Window Into An Empty Room
