We discuss the Parabatai relationship between Jace and Alec, helped along by some stunningly beautiful meta written by faejilly, which you can find here and here on tumblr (go read this immediately, it’s gorgeous!) before expanding our discussion to other works of fiction (and one real life example) to see, what makes a pair of people Parabatai, and what speaks against it.
The discussion includes Black Sails (read Ruth’s tumblr post for some more Anne & Jack quotes here, in case you needed more reasons to go watch this show!!), Buffy, Lord of the Rings, X Files, Castle, The Libertines, Harry Potter and Doctor Who.
In the first of our Monster & Lore mini series we discuss the children of the night, and the different ways in which books, shows and movies have dealt with the rules surrounding vampires.
In this episode we discuss the essence of our Shadowhunters characters using Colour, Element, Patroneous, Holiday Destination, Decade, Mundane Career, Mode of Transportation, Favourite Genre of Movie, Music & TV Show as well as Scent.
Join in! Tell us what you think Lydia smells like and where Simon is going on Holidays!
In our brand new podcast Thinky Thoughts, we are going to be discussing books, movies, TV shows and fandom in general. And what better way to start off this new podcast then to talk about our mutual first love, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, especially faced with the news that there’s going to be a remake of this most beloved show. Find out what we think of that!
We discuss the adaptive choices made to transform City of Bones, the book into The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, the movie and Shadowhunters, the TV show.
All fic here is either gen or canon pairings unless explicitly stated otherwise. Remember the 3 ultimate fic rules: 1) check tags 2) if you don’t like it, don’t read it 3) kudos, comment, and share! – you are what keeps fandom fandoming.
Day 3: AU Settings Day by notcrypticbutcoy (Teen; Canon pairings and background Simon Lewis/Raphael Santiago implied Isabelle Lightwood/Lydia Branwell)
We’re continuing with our reading of The City of Bones, the first in The Mortal Instruments series with chapters 10-13, in which we meet Magnus! (Apologies for previous misinformation re chapter 14 – these chapters were heftier than we’d thought! We’ll kick off with chapter 14 next time).
