there's a lot to talk ab when it comes to magnus and sometimes it gets overwhelming to even think about (let alone actually talk about or put into words) like there's so much he's been through and seen and he has so many memories and experiences and just so much going on all the time that makes him so interesting but also makes it actually really hard to understand him besides on a surface level even in the shadowhunters universe aside from people who either relate to him (his fellow immortals) or people who put in the effort to get to know him and understand him (which he has obviously stopped expecting and that's why he maybe even lets people form their own opinions of him without a care [obviously he cares but thats a different story] its easier to let people believe what they want of you than to change their opinions, especially when there's already bias there)

and you know what, i think that's why people like alec more, because they can relate to him more and it's easier to understand where he's coming from and therefore he's easier to project on

#(plus the racism ofc) #this was not meant to be salt but i couldnt resist adding that bc like. its true ok ive seen it even recently #i could talk about magnus forever ok #this is actually because of harry so blame him idek what this is #he got me thinking #like no one could've played that character better than him because i dont think anyone would've put that much effort into understanding #this character #and everything that he is and does and says even to the smallest things like the way he sits down or moves his hand #and thats why magnus is so special to me #because i've literally never seen a character that was. played with such care and love #oh lmao its been so long since ive posted smth ive forgotten how tumblr works #magnus bane #alec lightwood #shadowhunters #maybe salt #not really though i just think its interesting more than anything #malec #harry shum jr #tangent
