I have so many characteristics that make me feel like dating would be absolutely impossible to do and navigate, because they're such undesirable things that no one wants. i
if someone DOES want/are ok with them, there's so few of those people that they either already found someone, or they're out of my reach/we'll never meet. and that's if THEY match what I want as well, which then makes that pool even smaller.
i'm autistic. i'm asexual/aromantic. i'm trans/nonbinary. all things that make dating extraordinarily difficult to begin with.
i'm also not smart, rich, socially acceptable, or conventionally useful. i'm not physically attractive/don't match societal standards. i'm not likable to most people and can't even make or keep friends. my interests are very weird and niche, and it's hard to find people who share them.
if I can't figure out how to make and keep friends, how am I ever supposed to date? that's many levels ahead of where I am, almost end game. i'm at level 0. the tutorial level. except my tutorial glitched out before I even started and won't work. so I can't advance.
yes, I have good characteristics that people would be lucky to have (like loyalty, willingness to communicate, honesty, going out of my way to be there for people I care about, etc) but those things don't overshadow the ones above. first impressions kill me. my most noticeable traits kill me again. I can't lie or mask. no one gets to the smaller "good" traits or they simply aren't ever enough.
this is why I never tried to date and never even thought about it until now. I gave up before even starting because I knew it would be a dead end, a waste of time and energy.
i'm going to complain further under here, despite already making like 10 posts about the exact same bullshit:
"until now." so, I need someone who lives in canada to date me so I can move there from US and be with the only supportive people I have in my life lmao. my closest friends, my found family, who meet my needs, respect my boundaries, go out of their way to help me, and reciprocate everything mutually and equally. they actually want me in their lives. it's not one-sided, for the first time in my life. I don't question their motives or loyalties like every other friend I had in my life. it's genuine and real and they've stuck with me for like idk 5 years now? meeting irl (which usually ends my friendships for some reason...I guess people don't like me after meeting me outside of my internet persona?) it was solidified even more that we are the found family i've been wanting and needing my whole life. why do they have to be in a different country that has an extremely strict policy for being allowed to move there?!
so back to the dating thing a big problem is that I have too many barriers that I can't hide that make people uninterested or dislike me. I also can't control other people. people are unreliable and difficult as hell.
throw on top wanting to date someone specifically to move countries and they might question MY loyalties and think i'm only using them. when actually, I genuinely also want someone who can be part of our found family and be my life partner.
unfortunately, I know it will probably never happen, since it's not even about "trying" or "not giving up." I literally don't know how to try to find someone. like where to look?? social medias are collapsing and I get ignored everywhere. dating apps are for more hookups, polys, cheaters, and bots/catfish than real partnerships. I have no clue how to make people like me because who i am hasnt done me any favors ever in my life. waiting around for someone to come to me first just wastes my time! plus i'm picky as hell and can't accept just anyone.
people keep telling me "keep waiting you'll find The One! don't give up! I was in a similar position and i found someone!" that doesn't help me. it doesn't give me hope or whatever. I prefer actual helpful things like "I'll help you get there!" if you want to "help." I prefer to look at things realistically and live in the moment. not a future I can't see. and in this moment i'm stuck in a shitty anti-lgbt state with unsupportive and unaccepting family who don't treat me very well and no irl friends i can trust and rely on. no one can say that will for certain change in the future. things don't always magically change for the better and if you aren't prepared for that, you'll always be stuck in one place, waiting. i'm not being negative. it's more dynamic than that. it's more "I need an alternative in case this truly is a dead end." i'm simply not getting my hopes up for disappointment and fooling myself into believing that doing nothing and waiting will help, while life passes me by.
but I also can't do anything. because I don't know how/what to do
and by can't do anything I don't mean in life in general. I mean about getting out of my parents house so I can be free from them and fond a safe and comfortable place. I can't afford it alone obviously. I unfortunately need other people on my life, as much as i wish i could be a lone gremlin human and never need others. and that's the part I have no clue how to do. if the only humans who want me aren't attainable, then what? i've tried for over a decade and only had failures because people are unreliable and turn on me without warning, after i'm the only one who puts effort into trying to help us escape our situations. i'm TIRED. I can't keep trying to do everything alone and end up hurt and betrayed by fake friends. i'm so tired.
(if anyone reads this, don't try to comfort me because it won't work. if you relate, you can share that because that's fine. if you want to help me by being a candian who can sponsor me to move there then that's even more acceptable šŸ¤£ if you find you cant stand me after im permanently there, i'll appreciate your help and let you go lmao)

Iā€™d like to request hcā€™s of the Brothers and Diavolo reacting to an MC thatā€™s so cute, she could pass off as a doll. If she stands perfectly still, she could pass off as a full sized doll until she moves again. She has adorable doe eyes, wears cute clothes (Lolita fashion or just has an anime girl style), and even makes cute desserts. If the usual MC was weak and frail to them already, Doll!MC seems so dainty, precious, and fragile; these guys would ban paper if she ever got a paper cut.
Oooooo this is really interesting! I can just imagine Doll!MC just making everyone so scared every time she moves because they could probably hurt themselves just bumping into a wall because they look so fragile lol. These were short, so hope you enjoy!
Update: hereā€™s part 2 with the other Undateables!
The Brothers and Diavolo Reacting to Doll!MC
Lucifer
...maybe he made a mistake in picking you for the exchange program after all
You just look so delicate, and just so pure.Ā 
You have definitely made cute little snacks and brought it to him while he locked himself in the office with paperwork
He lowkey highkey likes it no matter how he brushes it off with the usual thanks. Keep doing it, MC, he really appreciates it
When you get in trouble and he gives you the usual lectures, he canā€™t look into your eyes for long
Geez, he already canā€™t stay mad at you for long but now he can just feel his resolve cracking
If you get hurt oh Diavolo prepare for helicopter parent Lucifer
As soon as you accidently cut yourself in the kitchen (it would be the tiniest cut, barely noticeable),Ā  youā€™re no longer allowed in the kitchen unsupervised and canā€™t handle anything with a sharp end (whether its a butter knife or kid proof scissors that would be safe for Luke to use unsupervised)
ā€œLet me do it for you, I donā€™t want you to get hurt.ā€
ā€œLucifer, thank you but Iā€™ll be okay. Itā€™s just a frosting spatula itā€™s not sharp-ā€
Will punish his brothers 10x worse and demons 100x more if he finds out you got hurt (doesnā€™t matter what the injury is, could be so much as a paper cut there will be hell to pay)
Constantly checks on you when he canā€™t see you in person
Handles you so lightly that you barely feel his touch
Move over Belphie, youā€™re the baby of the house nowĀ 
Mammon
Protective x100000
Is still tsudere around you, but doesnā€™t insult you as much
Who are you kidding as soon as he looks into your cute doe eyes, he forgets what heā€™s sayingĀ 
Complains about having to do stuff for you but doesnā€™t mind at all really. He loves it because it feels like youā€™re depending on him, and that makes him feel worth something.
ā€œCā€™mon human, let the Great Mammon carry your books! Youā€™re gonna hurt yourself and I donā€™t feel like hearing Luciferā€™s mouth today!ā€
It was just your planner and a small recipe book that Luke gave you, and it weighed less than 10 pounds but okay. You donā€™t complain either when you see that he genuinely wants to help and do these things
Basically your loud guard dog and secret service agent rolled into one
Heā€™s gotten into trouble more than once forĀ ā€œprotecting youā€. A student barely bumped your shoulder and Mammon already tackled him. Lucifer was not pleased (but he secretly understood)
He canā€™t help it that youā€™re weak and surrounded by hungry demons! Itā€™s a pain to go through this much effort to just protect you, since you look so helpless
MC heā€™s just worried that you easily break if a demon so much as breathes on you but he likes that he can protect you because he knows that he can keep you safe. Youā€™re just too cute and sweet okay??
Also stand in his room after watching a horror movie to freak him out and heā€™ll be sounding like Mariah Carey lmao
Leviathan
RURI-CHAN IS THAT YOU??!
Is for sure having an otaku/weaboo freakout moment
You blend in with figurines so well, every time you come into his room he asks you to stand next to them so he can feel that his collection is completeĀ 
He does it sometimes when he streams so people can think he has a rare limited-edition life sized doll that they canā€™t get. Makes him feel superiorĀ 
DRESSING YOU UP IN COSPLAY 100%
Youā€™re like an anime character but in real life and he does not know how to handle itĀ 
Canā€™t stare into your eyes, it makes them too flustered because heā€™s used to seeing it in his otome games and not from an actual person that he likes
Who needs maid cafes when he has you? You even dress and make anime themed desserts (once he built up the courage to ask you to make it for him)
Has to calm his beating heart every time he talks to you, youā€™re too precious for him MC!Ā 
Your like his very own idol, minus the singing and dancing. However, if you can sing and dance....
Levi.exe has stopped workingĀ 
Satan
Thought you were a real doll until you introduced yourself
He really thought that someone brought you to life Pinocchio style
You looked like a princess from the many stories that he read, and he was smitten
Treated you so graceful and elegant like until he had his rage moments, which he told you to stay far, far, far away from him until he calmed down completely
Secretly placed a hex on you to where if someone tried to attack you or touch you with harmful intentions, they would be somehow be subjected to looking at their worst fear
You were wondering why that random stranger was just staring wide at you with extensive terror, but then you saw Satan grinning, so you left it alone. You thought it was just some weird demon thing
Loved when you made him cat-themed desserts
If you wore cat ears while doing it, he will turn extremely red
If you meow for him, he wonā€™t know how to handle himselfĀ 
Asmodeus
You are just the cutest thing he has ever laid his eyes on!!
Besides from himself of course, donā€™t get it twisted heā€™s still #1
He has most definitely had more than one photoshoot done with you both. And you guys have been trending on the Devilgram a couple of times already
Really you guys trend at least twice a month, and his fans love you!
They always ask where he got the doll from but he always laughs and says thatĀ ā€œitā€™s a secretā€
Imagine their shock when they see you walking and talking at RAD, some are amazed and some are downright scared
Fashion shows!Ā 
He lives for dressing you up in cute clothes. Your style already suited you and he had great tastes so the new outfits he got you were just *chefā€™s kiss*
The cute little desserts that you made for him, he always posted it on the Devilgram before he ate it. They were just so cute MC and he couldnā€™t not show his fans!
Is the most careful brother when it comes to keeping you out of danger. He refused to let his body or skin damaged, and he wasnā€™t about to let it happen to you either! You are both way too dainty and fragile to let anything happen
Also spa days and self-care nights weekly!
Youā€™re the perfect match made just for him MC
He finally has someone that can understand his struggle of being beautiful, bless you MC
Beelzebub
Soft boy is scared of touching you :(
He towers over you, and heā€™s scared to even be near you
It takes some time, but he starts to warm up to you
Is always gentle with you, no matter the scenario
Holding hands? He is hardly gripping your hand, said hand fitting loosely in his
Getting hugs? Heā€™s meagerly holding you, not wanting to crush you
You once complained to Beel that it wasnā€™t fair to get half done hugs (if you were hugging, you were getting a real hug, not a scared one).Ā 
He made you swear that if he was hurting you to let him know, so now you have your very own signal to use for him just in case
He was very tempted to wrap you in bubble wrap and just carry you around like that
He LOVESĀ your sweets, even more than Lukeā€™s and Barbatosā€™
No matter the size, he loves them, mainly because you made them and it was made with love, just for him
It always makes him feel so warm inside, and he doesnā€™t feel his appetite gnawing at him like usual
No one is dumb enough to try anything with you both in his presence and not, unless they want to end up either a: deep into the ground or b: into his stomach
You just make him feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and he just loves everything about you. He just loves you
Belphegor
Hm, you look cuteĀ 
For a human
Acts like he doesnā€™t care, but youā€™ve caught him blushing before (he still does it too)
Wonā€™t outright admit that youā€™re charming in your own little way, but he does in his sarcastic way like usual
ā€œMC, youā€™re such a half-pint. Youā€™re like my personal sized teddy bear.ā€
Has cuddled with you like you were his personal teddy bear (and still does, but you donā€™t complain at all)
Has a secret sweet tooth and eat your desserts whenever you make it just for him (and he doesnā€™t even share it with Beel, that monster)
Demons just have to look Belphie in the eyes, watch him flex his claws, and they all of a sudden forget about whatever they were planning. Good
He hates that you look so fragile, but at the same time he kinda likes it
You just look so soft, and youā€™re just so kind
It makes him feel like heā€™s protecting and caring for you, and that makes him feel calm and peacefulĀ 
Please make sure that heā€™s okay MC, heā€™s scared that heā€™s gonna mess up again
Diavolo
The Prince of Hell is both surprised and pleased at your appearance
Do all humans look this charming or is it just you??
If someone as soft as you can survive living and going to school with demons, then this is great
Knew that you werenā€™t a doll, but still liked to admire you like one
Has asked more than once for pictures, you are just too enchanting!
Wants to have a portrait painted of you so he can hang it up in the castle
LOVES you baking for him! Loves when Barbatos does it too (even though it is kinda part of his job), but it feels different with you. It feels...domestic in a sense. Makes him feel like Diavolo, your friend and very interested in being your boyfriend, instead of Lord Diavolo, the prince that will be residing over Hell in the future
No one would be foolish enough to hurt you. If someone was, they wouldnā€™t even get the chance to lift a finger before they were directly dealing with him. Donā€™t take his kindness for weakness, he still is a demon after all, the future King of Hell to be exact
Was scared of touching you at first, but quickly grew out of it! He can handle his own strength, and you guys also have a signal to use just in case he does squeeze a little too tight
Will want to dress you up in royal clothes (if you were okay with it). Nothing is wrong with your current style, as a matter of fact it suits you! He basically just wants to play a fancy game of dress up/have a fashion show with royal clothing
Will take 100s of photos, no exaggeration
Asmo will be jealous, so be warned
Plus, he wants to know how his future lover/ruler would look in a crown so he can start taking measurements. You can never be too ready, right MC?

more malec livewatch, everyone! i decided to start making the posts separately instead of keeping reblogging the same one over and over because i donā€™t want to drive everyone crazy with that gigantic fucking post. you can read the first ones here and iā€™ll keep updating the posts to lead to the next ones i guess. also im tagging it malec livewatch for those who want to avoid this nonsense
so letā€™s brave pre-wedding episode 12 i guess
oh boy.... weā€™re gonna do it... weā€™re gonna experience the Maximum Cringe
the special effects are so BAD odaijsdoaj when he summons the wine into Alecā€™s hand itā€™s just...... god
ā€œwe never finished our conversationā€ i mean you were the one who finished it magnus so wtf are you going on about
ā€œitā€™s about family, tradition, honorā€ yeah we get it zuko boi duoahsiudhdiusa
really tho like heā€™s so clearly just.... reciting it. taking some shit out off the top of his head about how itā€™s the right thing and itā€™s sad tbh
he clearly kinda already has a script too? like ā€œyou and I understand marriage very differentlyā€ he says it right off the bat, heā€™s been thinking it over and hghgghgh
magnus goes near alec and alec swallows immediately and magnus ainā€™t even making a move to touch him yet. just diuahsdah itā€™s so obvious how hard heā€™s trying to hold back here
ā€œyouā€™re confusing meā€ is like the only thing he says the whole scene that sounds genuine
heā€™s paying so much attention to magnusā€™ dumb little speech about what love feels like too like. heā€™s trying to hold back but heā€™s very clearly pulled in, and i donā€™t even think itā€™s by magnus specifically (i mean obviously cuz have you seen him) but because he... kind of wants to hear it, kind of wants magnus to give him some golden argument that will make his whole resolution shatter. except he doesnā€™t because he doesnā€™t know what heā€™ll do then, but heā€™s still hoping for something and itā€™s sad
like how magnus clearly pauses like heā€™s waiting for alecā€™s reaction too, like. alec makes to leave and magnus doesnā€™t go after him, but he speaks, and alec stops. only when alec stops he gets closer. only when alec looks at him, clearly waiting to hear more, does he begin to talk again. i dig that even if most of this scene is kinda ugh to me
i hate how he uses his magic tho like whatā€™s the point?? like yes i know that magic ā€œcanā€™t create feelingsā€ but still dauhdsa it kinds feels like heā€™s cheating or trying to manipulate alec or something and iā€™m.. not into how the whole thing is done
oof hate how alec says ā€œthis is all just a game to you, isnā€™t it?ā€ like bitch you know damn well itā€™s not like heā€™s putting himself at risk and showing you so much vulnerability and i hate how he goes for the whole ā€œoh magnus doesnā€™t care about anything heā€™s just a seductive lotharioā€ narrative in here lowkey. like i know heā€™s just trying to distance himself and he doesnā€™t fully believe it but... aaaaa i hate it
and heā€™s so HURT by alecā€™s words too like the rejection doesnā€™t hurt him as much as hearing alec say that he just flirts and it means nothing to him does. heā€™s trying so fucking hard to be open and honest and taking such a RISK (psychological, emotional, even physical) and alec is just throwing all of that bullshit persona heā€™s actively trying not to hide behind in his face, belittling all his efforts and feelings, and aaa
like again i donā€™t really blame alec but he truly is so hurt
still wonder what alec was about to say when he turned around to talk to him and magnus wasnā€™t there anymore tbh like. probably something else to try and distance himself so itā€™s probably good magnus left and isnā€™t there to hear it and it kind of forces alec to really think it over to himself instead of trying to argue but...... i do wonder what he was going to say diahsiduahdisah
magnus doesnā€™t even answer the whole ā€œthis means nothing to youā€ veiled accusation which.... also hurts like idk if heā€™s trying to avoid a fight or derailing like alec clearly is trying to, or if he just is too tired to have this argument, or if he just doesnā€™t want to open up this much, but either way he doesnā€™t acknowledge it except for his hurt look and oof
no one cares about jace and clary talking or whateverā€™s happening here next
i had never noticed the way magnus winks at clary when he says ā€œoh, itā€™s happy hour somewhere, my dearā€ daishdaiuh itā€™s kinda cute tbh
hodge is so uncomfortable like the way he talks to magnus and gets too close to him... in a way that he doesnā€™t with anyone else either like heā€™s clearly just lowkey despising him/getting into his space and magnus notices too and it gives me the heebie jeebies
diuhaiudsahduaishdai magnusā€™ IMMEDIATE reaction of ā€œwhy is ragnor fell there, heā€™s not more powerful than meā€ asohdaiudha we stan bickering bffs i truly love them so much
ā€œheā€™s older than youā€ ā€œcertainly not wiserā€ daiohsahda
i think he might also be lowkey trying to protect ragnor and take the claveā€™s attention away from him now that i think about it but still i love their bickering
nah thatā€™s cancelled he immediately rats him out on having been jocelynā€™s profesor lmaoo
ā€œthatā€™s why he hasnā€™t been responding to my fire messagesā€ daoihdsaiohads someone needs to lick their wounds
heā€™s just like ā€œoh ragnor is hiding in his specific safehouse outside of londonā€ like daoiusduaihdasuda love how he just knows that off the top of his head when ragnor clearly didnā€™t actually tell him about it since he just fucked off and hasnā€™t been responding
ā€œdidnā€™t know you were hereā€ ā€œthat was the pointā€ doaiuhdasiouhdaiuhdas
like i know heā€™s talking about the marriage but also.... just mood in general tbh
again with the eye flickering. hes looking at magnus, no hes not, yeah he is, haha SIKE, oh there it is again, nope itā€™s gone..... kinda funny cuz like i know that alecā€™s eyes flicker a lot in general but afterwards when they are together every time he looks at magnus itā€™s just so pointed and intense and focused on him so the contrast of watching the s1 scenes and realizing how little his glances at magnus always lasted is... interesting and heartbreaking. like obviously he doesnā€™t want to be looking at any man for too long, doesnā€™t want to take that risk, keeps hyper aware of his attraction at all times, but he still canā€™t help the glances and then when he can look he just does it so unapologetically and intensely and you can tell that itā€™s just. intimate to him (to both of them really) right then, and wow
i know we talk a lot about alecā€™s Big Hands but magnusā€™ hands are so nice too in like a totally different way... anytime he holds anything it just looks like heā€™s treating it like itā€™s precious, itā€™s so delicate and careful and his hands are smooth and pretty and wow i love him so fucking much
wow canā€™t believe nothing heartbreaking at all happens when they go to ragnorā€™s house and that ragnor just winks at magnus like ā€œhaha yes i am ā€˜deadā€™ā€ and magnus is like ā€œyes, this is a lie and a ruse and also a plan. i am perfectly aware that ragnor is not dead at allā€
ragnor says ā€œmy dear friend, i will always be here for youā€ with so much honesty and love and ugh i love them like theyā€™re always little bitches to each other but they still have the room to be perfectly loving and honest with each other and i stan
ragnor looks at magnus with so much fucking hurt when magnus says ā€œi prayed she would love me the sameā€ like you can tell it destroys him to even remember it or think about it and aaa
ā€œhe was always so much better looking than youā€ and the way magnus purses his lips in what is clearly a smile like he just knows itā€™s the teasing and he loves ragnor and their dynamic and i just daouhdsauida also heā€™s so beautiful boy i die
the way ragnor says ā€œsomeday, someone will come and will tear down those walls you put around you and around your heartā€ and magnus looks at him with so much. fucking PAIN in his eyes because someone did but it got nowhere and in the end alec just kind of acknowledged his walls again and went back to pretending that it never happened and that magnus didnā€™t progress or open up to it at all, that magnus was just lying, that itā€™s just a game and dauhdaiudha god heā€™s so HURT
again i owe harry shum jr my entire life like he might be seriously the best actor iā€™ve ever seen in any show, heā€™s so damn expressive and talented in every little motion heā€™s truly a pearl in the desert of shit that is this show
ā€œeven in death, you give the best adviceā€ ugh love how this really cements that magnus is used to opening up to ragnor and even with their bickering thereā€™s so much room for them to be emotionally honest like we stan
anyway sure wish this had any emotional continuity whatsoever but at least the cringefest is over. onto an actual good scene fucking finally
love every little detail about this scene as yall probably already know so iā€™ll try not to point every single one of them out yet again but who knows if iā€™ll succeed. i bet that i wonā€™t tbh
love the contrast between alec looking so tense when lydia comes down the aisle and sheā€™s like all smiles and shit
sheā€™s before him and he can barely look at her like his eyes flicker a bit between her and the bouquet and he settles on the bouquet this whole thing is so... wrong so clearly, like i could show it to someone who doesnā€™t know shit about sh and they would be able to tell that nothing fits
even alecā€™s clothes are weird, like idk i donā€™t understand fashion but his look looks so disjointed, like the blazer doesnā€™t really match the pants, the bowtie looks weird and doesnā€™t match the buttons, and shit and nothing about him looks like itā€™s in the right place. and everyone else (except maybe izzy who also looks miserable lmao) looks like a perfect picture and heā€™s just.... idk thereā€™s this aura of wrongness around him thatā€™s subtle but really well done in the terms of costume and shit. the costume department really went off in this whole scene honestly like we stan. possibly the only ones other than the actors who knew what the fuck they were doing lmao
when lydia smiles at izzy and izzy barely moves up the corner of one of her lips dajdasnjdan she looks even more miserable than alec does and god i love the lightwood siblings so much like i truly do. sheā€™s supporting him because sheā€™s decided sheā€™s not going to keep pushing him when it only leads to him not trusting her but sheā€™s all broken that heā€™s broken, and she was willing to take his place and throw her life away even when thatā€™s everything sheā€™s always tried to avoid, just so he wouldnā€™t have to do this, and aaaaa
who cares about jace and clary looking at each other @directing team like seriously get over this
he turns in the direction of the silent brother in an almost kind of jerking motion like he completely forgot about where he was supposed to go or something, like again heā€™s just... not in it
they are holding hands in the WEIRDEST possible way too like thereā€™s so much distance between them itā€™s almost funny ldaojsja
he tries to smile at lydia when sheā€™s about to put the rune on his arm like he knows she knows that heā€™s hating this and heā€™s just bearing it and trying to not make her uncomfortable? like doajdsaoj
the way that magnus INTERRUPTS not just the wedding but also the chorus, you could tell there was a crescendo coming even if youā€™ve never heard the song, but magnus pushes the doors open and suddenly it stops and thereā€™s this little bit and then the ā€œtututututuā€ of tension as he comes into view and his steps perfectly match the three little beats that were already there before, but sound so much louder and more prominent like a heartbeat, like before they were muffled and now theyā€™re real??? the poetic cinema bro
ill just never get over the way they used song here it sounds like an AMV like the song isnā€™t just giving the vibe, they are telling the story THROUGH the song and the whole scene is basically a coreography, and the song is the narrative, and holy shit i love it so much could you imagine if they had used this amount of thought and genius and clever storytelling the whole show?? iā€™d shit myself
ugh the DRAMA of magnusā€™ look again i KNOW iā€™ve been over this again and again and again and again and again and again but i just. i love how they used his makeup & costume to accentuate magnusā€™ 1- face, 2- eyes, 3- jaw, and 4- adamā€™s apple. the whole focus is on his face and eyes (which again so expressive we stan harry shum jr in this house), the fact that his eyes are his WARLOCK MARK (yeah theyā€™re not out but like weā€™re still drawing attention to the part of magnus he tries to hide the most, and the part of him that marks what makes him disdainful to shadowhunters), the fact that his jaw and adamā€™s apple are so prominent. his whole face looks really sharp and masculine you know?? like the whole focus is on everything about him thatā€™s supposed to beĀ ā€œwrongā€ and make malecĀ ā€œwrongā€ but heā€™s never looked more beautiful (ITā€™S SUCH AN UNDERRATED LOOK) and they didnā€™t sacrifice his gnc-ness for it either, on the contrary, they gave his hair the hot pink streak which. INSPIRED WE STAN, and the makeup is very clear (again esp around his eyes) which of course only adds to it because heā€™s not just a man, heā€™s a gnc man and that makes itĀ ā€œworseā€, but also like, i like how they accentuated his masculinity in alecā€™s coming out scene, without sacrificing his identity and gender non conformness. again the costume department is the only one who genuinely knew what they were doing 100% of the time i hope they all got big fucking checks
alec just blinks and focuses on him and itā€™s the first time it looks like heā€™s really looking at something and i just wow
izzy is so happy to see magnus there :) she loves her brother so much :)
magnus holding up two fingers to get people to shut up... the way he snarlsĀ ā€œmaryse, this is between me and your sonā€ with so much certainty and like no room for bullshit heā€™s so good at making shadowhunters too speechless to stop him and honestly im such a whore tbh if he did this to me id just nut on the spot. shut me up daddy. fuck who said that
like how they included theĀ ā€œiā€™ll leave if he asks me toā€ and how he really doesnā€™t say anything, heā€™s just standing there, like they made sure to make this scene respectful and i was kind of dreading it the first time because iā€™d HATE it if magnus had outed him or made this whole drama out of it but he didnā€™t and i like that so so much
ā€œi thought we were doing the right thing, but... this isnā€™t itā€ always gets me and i canā€™t even put my finger on why. it just does like again this is not really about magnus or their relationship, itā€™s about how he feels about the whole thing, everything that heā€™s giving up and he barely knows what for anymore, and i justjfianfajf
again the BRILLIANCE of the song usage the way that heā€™s talking to lydia and the beat is so damn loud and overwhelming and then as soon as he turns to magnus everything just drowns out and there is one (1) piano note and itā€™s just him and magnus and itā€™s like everything silences??? heā€™s just so damn focused and itā€™s not the nervousness and loudness of everyone else and their whole audience (they donā€™t even show the audience anymore after alec turns to him for real and before the actual kiss i donā€™t think) and thereā€™s just that sharp focus and certainty because alecā€™s made up his mind and thereā€™s no sound anymore like mwaaahhh poetic cinEMA
and itā€™s just that moment of clarity as they both look at each other and the song begins again with the higher tempo again, but it feels more like, a march? than that overwhelming noise. and of course thereā€™s the singing and it feels like everything has purpose and is just laser focused and itā€™s still intense but in a completely opposite way, not lost but found and wow im such a whORE for this scene itā€™s unbelievable
like how alec takes the first step towards magnus after heā€™s down the stairs exactly as the song goesĀ ā€œwantā€ like mwaahhhhh brilliance amazing talented showstopping spectacular never been done before completely unique,
hisĀ ā€œenoughā€ is dajksdfahidasdhadusahuash again im a simple sub id nut
i was right they only really show the audience again after the kiss. except for maryse but even then itā€™s so quick, we see her going to alec and after alec saysĀ ā€œenoughā€ she literally doesnā€™t show anymore itā€™s like sheā€™s not even there, she just disappears itā€™s so sexy we stan??? like again alecā€™s made up his mind and nothing else is there to stop him wow love that for him could you imagine thinking this man is shy and insecure? canā€™t relate
THEY ARE SKIGGNISNGG
FOREVER A WHORE FOR THE WAY MAGNUS CHASES AFTER HIM HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THE WAY HEā€™S SO LOST IN THE KISS, IN THE ELATION, AND HE JUST CANā€™T HELP GOING FOR MORE BEFORE HE CAN STOP HIMSELF AND KEEP UP WITH HIS TIGHT COMPOSTURE (because magnus had barely moved once alec had seen him, he just stood there and waited like he was waiting for his cue, he was holding himself perfectly steadily and just had so many walls) LIKE HE JUST CANā€™T HELP BUT WANT?? AND GO FOR MORE?? AND THEN HE REALIZES ALEC IS PULLING AWAY AND HE LOOKS AT HIM FOR A SECOND (and his eyes look so DIFFERENT, not like thereā€™s a wall there, he looks relieved and happy and even kind of dazed and i just wow the difference is SO clear) AND ALEC LOOKS AT HIM AND HE TAKES JUST A FRACTION OF A SECOND BEFORE HE LEANS IN AGAIN, AND ITā€™S THE FIRST TIME THAT MAGNUS HAS ASKED FOR MORE AND ALECā€™S GIVEN IT, BECAUSE ALEC HAS BEEN GIVING HIM SOME OPENINGS BUT EVERY TIME MAGNUS WANTED MORE HE TURNED AWAY, BUT THIS TIME HE FUCKING GIVES MAGNUS WHAT HEā€™S SILENTLY ASKING FOR, HEā€™S CHOOSING HIM FULLY AND NOT JUST ENOUGH FOR THEM TO BE ABLE TO BE TOGETHER, HEā€™S CHOOSING TO GO ALL IN AND KISS MAGNUS UNTIL HEā€™S SATISFIED AND HOLY SHIT THE POETIC CINEMA!! THE TALENT!!! THE BRILLIANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SHADOWHUNTERS CREW FOR PUTTING UP YOUR FIVE TOTAL BRAINCELLS TOGETHER TO MAKE THIS FANTASTIC THING HAPPEN HOLY FUCKING SHIT THIS SCENE IS EVERYTHING TO MEĀ 
a bitch needs to lie down i think thatā€™s all for today
