#sorry beforehands for any OOC-ness magnus is fascinating but also hard to get into headspace

[carelessflower]

magnus + the act of naming

cocktails: during a particular parts of his life, magnus took up bartending cause why the hell not, free booze, people and he get to name the random recipe he whips up. alec to this day still not believe all of Magnus’s story (suck bang and blow? seriously? i know you didn’t name this magnus stop trying to claim you did) 

people: magnus likes to regard people depends on his mood. terms of endearments when he’s in normal mood and passive-agressive diss when someone piss him off. there’s this entire week when he refuses to acknowledge jace as anything but duckface wannabe

family: though magnus uses terms of endearments regularly, there are some nicknames which he only reserve for his loved ones. magnus want to cherish his family as much as he can, let them know how dear they are to him

locations: warlock’s memory can be fickle so magnus keep a scrapbook, just in case his memory fail him. pages and pages of places and his own description underneath the pics. this is where i first met ragnor and cat, this is where i first saw baby max, this is where i married the love of my life

himself: picture young Magnus, bare and vulnerable to the brutal of the world, picking another name for him. name that would instill fear, name reminding him of exactly what he is capable of. now picture an older Magnus, with even more wounds and scars around his heart, choose to keep that name. Magnus Bane, great destruction, a reminder perhaps. to not lose his kindness, or else
