this is such a bittersweet, beautiful ending to a show that I have come to love so so much. I can't begin to explain how happy I am that this show won the poll, you guys just knew it was up my street!! I'm so sad that it's over, but I will be doing more Shadowhunter related content so that's coming!!
I cannot believe I won't be getting any new Alec content, my heart actually hurts in my chest over him, I love him so much 🥹 anyway.... that's enough rambling, I hope you enjoyed 🩶
ahhhh I like that view point of clary's memories for sure!! I love Malec being the power couple that the deserve to be! 🩶 Thank you so so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed!!

Thank you for your great reactions on this show. I joined you late and binged most of your reactions.
I am of the opinion that the angels are mean, spiteful and vindictive. They give Clary this gift and she does a lot of good with it. The last rune she drew saved the shadow world as Jonathan was systematically destroying all the Institutes. Without her ending him, it would have been a massacre. Yet they still punished her instead of being eternally grateful.
I think Clary started remembering because their love is greater than the angels' power. Remember, shadowhunters only love once and then fiercely. When she touched Jace it broke the power over her memory block. That is what I keep telling myself.
Magnus and Alec is truly the power couple of the Shadow World. Alec is the Inquisitor and Magnus is the High Warlock of Alicante. Very influential. It would not be wise to go against them.

Thank you for sticking with the show. I'm not happy that I'm gonna miss the show yet again (I was finally over obsessing about it when your video showed up on YouTube couple of months ago) but it was worth it.
And btw, the Maryse and Luke relationship is actually funny since they ended up being parents to all of our main cast - Magnus got married into the family and Luke said on a few occasions that he considers Simon as a son (but even if he didn't I bet Simon would get married into the family as well).

I'm so with you, I don't want it if it's a reboot, only spinoffs or continuations with these actors please and thank you. otherwise, I will riot.
You're so right! What happened to Cain!? omg... when you put the clace situation LIKE THAT 🤣
I'm with you, that was one of the only times I ever felt bad for him, the first was when he was in the straight jacket screaming for clary and saying that no one will ever save him or something. I felt that, but was like..... you killed everyone.... this time, I REALLY FELT IT
RIGHT!? I filmed the bloopers tonight and my cheeks hurt from smiling/laughing so hard!! Should be up tomorrow! 🩶 thank you thank you for coming on this ride with me!

This whole episode felt like one big fan service AND I'M OK WITH THAT. Damn, it's over. I remember that when I finished watching it for the first time I just went wild on YouTube searching for any scrap of new information, interview, video, anything. I was obsessed. And I didn't even like the show that much! It had so many flaws! It's just that certain story lines and characters were just perfect and I wanted more. Sigh, I still need more but with these actors, I don't want any reboot.
The only thing about this episode that I wasn't happy with was Lilith. It was wham bam, she's dead, Edom is destroyed, let's go out. All under ten minutes. Btw, where's Cain? I'm not angry or disappointed, I know they didn't have the time and the alternative - the whole show ending with the proposal and Magnus going to Edom to close the rift - would be abysmal. I'm just sad that we didn't get more time to deal with her properly, she was a good villain.
So, the main couple got their wedding (Maryse walking Magnus down the aisle! the contrast to the first wedding is everything), Clace got pooped on yet again but at least they got a reboot of sorts. I hope they can do it now properly without all that family baggage (although with Luke being Clary's dad and Maryse Jace's mom and them being together... the show just won't stop with the sibling love). I love that it came full circle, I'm honestly content with this ending. Even though it was unexpected and rushed it's way better than a lot of other shows out there managed to do.
As for Jonathan and my eternal disgust with that character, I must say that his last scene was touching. He finally managed to sell to me what he so unsuccessfully tried the whole season - the image of a lost little boy who just wanted his sister to save him.
Guys, it was so much fun and now I'm looking forward to the bloopers because after this I need a pick me up :)

I’m pretty sure the deruning happened because she created a rune to kill her brother. If she killed him another way I don’t think she would have gotten deruned. I also LOVE how Maryse walked Magnus down the aisle. He finally has the loving family that he deserves!
If you want more shadowhunters then just read the books lol that’s what I did after I watched the show. Or atleast read the ones focused on Malec. 😂

Part 7 (final part) Brother Zachariah/Jem Carstairs, William Herondale, and Tessa Gray: It only felt right to finish this comment with a fact about these three, since I have never shut up about them. Be aware when I write this that Tessa is polyamorous, and both Jem and Will are aware that she loves both of them. They are actually totally okay and understand, and love her regardless. There is no cheating. So, as I mentioned, Brother Zachariah is actually Jem Carstairs. He had an illness that almost killed him, which was connected to a yin fen addiction. He was turned into a Silent Brother to save his life. He outlived his parabatai, William Herondale, but his ex-fiance (whom he still loved, and who still loved him) was still alive, as she is a warlock. She, Tessa, married Will, and the two had two children. A boy named James Herondale (named after Jem), and a girl named Lucie Herondale. James and Lucie called Brother Zachariah “uncle Jem,” and he adored them like they were his own. Lucie continued the Blackthorn line when she married Jesse Blackthorn, James continued the Herondale line when he married Cordelia Carstairs. In the sixth book of the TMI series, almost 150 years later, when Jem tried to save Jace from an injury, he touched heavenly fire. The fire burned away all traces of yin fen in him, and all the spells put on him that tied him to the brotherhood. He stopped being a silent brother, returned to being a mortal human. and he was allowed to be with his fiance again. They got married in 2010, adopted their son Kit Rook/Herondale in 2012, and had their daughter Wilhelmina Carstairs in 2013. They no longer live as shadowhunters, as it was too painful for Jem to continue fighting without Will, however they encourage Kit and Mina to train as shadowhunters, if they want to. They have remained very close to the Lightwood-Bane-Herondale-Fairchild clan (I’ll send you a picture of all of them if you’d like).
And that’s it! It’s been such a fun ride, I adored this series and your reactions. I’m so excited for what’s to come, but I’ll miss this series so much. I'm going to stop typing before I get too emotional (although I'm already crying) but yeah <3

Part 6 Maryse Trueblood: Maryse continued to live as a shadowhunter after her divorce from Robert. She led the New York institute, with the help of her second in command, a man named Kadir. It was never specified whether their relationship was romantic, but the two were very close regardless. She loved being a grandmother, and adored babysitting, even though raising a baby warlock proved to be a lot of work.
Robert Lightwood: Robert Lightwood was made inquisitor during the period Alec led the alliance. He spent the rest of his life trying to rebuild his relationships with his children. Jace mistrusted him, Isabelle was mad at him for cheating, and Alec was mad for his father’s homophobic behavior towards him. After years of working on it, their relationships were much better, and Robert was very happy to become a grandfather to Max, and later Raphael. Unfortunately, in 2012, Robert was killed by a woman who had been recently resurrected from the dead (long story), and was about to be questioned about her ex’s crimes (don’t worry about it). The attack also killed a fifteen year old girl, and his and her funeral were held together in Alicante.
Jia Penhallow: Jia retired after she started getting ill (it was never said with what, but I have a suspicion it was cancer) and her position of Consul was given to Alec. She officiated Alec and Magnus’ wedding.

Part 5 Jonathan/Sebastian Morgenstern: Jonathan remained evil until Clary and co. found him in edom, where she stabbed him with a weapon embedded with heavenly fire. It burned the demon blood in him, and therefore his evil, but not enough good was left to keep him alive. For five minutes he lived, apologizing to Clary during his final moments, for all he had done to her, and to the world. As he did, his blonde hair (which in the books was naturally blonde, inherited from his father) stayed the same, but his eyes, which were black, turned green. His last words were, “I’ve never felt so light.” While he died, the Seelie Queen survived. In the books, he never harmed the queen, and he did actually show some interest in her. He couldn’t love anyone but he didn’t disregard her like in the show. After he died, she found out she was pregnant, and their son, Ash, was raised in the faerie courts, until the events of the Dark Artifices. Because of the time difference in the land of fae, by 2012, four human years after his birth, he was already a fifteen year old boy. He is going to be one of the main characters in the yet to be released Wicked Powers.
Maia Roberts: After Jordan passed away, Maia became the alpha of the New York pack. Less then a year later, she joined the Shadowhunter-Downworlder alliance, and became very close with Lily Chen and Alec Lightwood. The three of them also have game nights together. She started dating Bat Velasquez, and it was revealed that she started learning Spanish for him and his family. As of 2012, they have exchanged promise rings, and are still a happy couple. Despite being prominent in The Mortal Instruments, they have a very small role to play in The Dark Artifices, only appearing in an alternate dimension, the fight that would end the civil war, and Magnus and Alec’s wedding.
Luke and Jocelyn Garroway/Fray: Luke never ended up with Maryse, and Jocelyn never died. They retired from Shadowhunting/leading the werewolves by the end of the books, and got married. They live together in an apartment in New York. Luke is not a shadowhunter. The plot with the heavenly fire was very different in the books. It was not a secret organization, but something they acquired briefly by asking an angel for help (as I’ve mentioned before). The heavenly fire was used to break the bond between Jace and Sebastian (as it was them bonded, not Sebastian and Clary), and only to save Jace. The fire then remained in Jace’s blood, until Clary transferred it into a weapon (using a special rune), which was used to kill Jonathan. Luke never had access to it, and would most likely not return to shadowhunting if he did.

Part 4 Raphael Santiago: When Raphael was kidnapped along with the other downworld delegates, Jonathan convinced him to join his side. Magnus was horrified to see Raphael join Jonathan, and he mentioned that he should never have saved him. Raphael was clearly hurt by the comment, and Jonathan noticed. So Jonathan announced that the only way he would trust Raphael was if he killed Magnus. Raphael refused, and Sebastian killed him instead. Raphael’s close friend would lead the New York vampire clan, her name being Lily Chen. Magnus and Alec would name their oldest son, Rafael Santiago Lightwood Bane, after him.
Meliorn: Meliorn turned out to be a bad guy. He followed his queen into aligning with Jonathan, and he helped kidnap the downworld delegates. When Alec found out he was the reason, he killed him with his bow and arrow. I love him in the show dearly, but he was a horrible person in the books.
Aline Penhallow and Helen Blackthorn: Aline married Helen, and after dealing with tragedies I don’t have time to get into, they managed to settle down and even have been talking about having children together. Helen’s six siblings were reunited after being separated by the Mortal War, and they started looking after the younger ones. Oh and by the way, they both wore dresses to the wedding. Aline’s mom, Jia, walked her down the aisle.

Part 3 Alec Lightwood Bane: After surviving the Mortal War (the Clave’s stand against Sebastian), Alec began the Shadowhunter-Downworlder alliance (which I have talked about before). His main focus was running that alongside Magnus, up until 2009. At the Academy, Simon and his new friends found an abandoned baby warlock, with a note attached saying “who could ever love it?”. He asked Magnus and Alec, who were going to be guest speakers at the Shadowhunter Academy, for help. They decided to look after the baby, and not two days later declared they were adopting him. He was an 8 month old warlock, with navy blue skin, even darker blue curly hair, and white horns. He was named Max Michael Lightwood Bane, after Alec’s late brother. The alliance continued to run, but now, their attention was split between taking care of a baby, and the alliance. Three years later, in 2011, Alec had to go on a mission to Buneos Aires, where he met a five year old orphaned Shadowhunter named Rafael. Rafael came back to New York with him, and Magnus happily agreed to adopt him. They gave him the middle name Santiago, after Raphael Santiago. Magnus and Alec agreed not to marry however, until the world would accept their wedding, and accept their love, and not disregard their wedding as not real, because they were a downworlder and a shadowhunter. In 2012, Alec helped lead one side of the civil war against the Cohort, a hate group in the Clave. After the civil war was won, he was then voted into the position of Consul. He changed the law to have downworlders be official members of the clave, and then he married Magnus a week later. Jace walked Alec down the aisle, and Catarina walked Magnus down the aisle. Alec, Magnus, Rafael, and Max continued to live in New York together.
Magnus Lightwood Bane: Magnus became one of the most hated and loved downworlders. Hated for being in the laps of shadowhunters by some downworlders, and loved for bridging the connection and for helping both groups by others. He got terribly sick during the events of the Dark Artifices, when a blight from an alternate dimension was introduced. After a cure was found, he helped main characters from The Dark Artifices and The Mortal Instruments by joining the civil war, and using his magic to allow the vampires to join the fight in the middle of the day. He lives in New York with his husband and two sons, Rafael and Max.

(part 2) Isabelle Lightwood: After losing Simon in edom, she grieved for him, and the loss of her little brother for the better part of a year. As her life continued, she chose not to have a parabatai because she preferred not to be tied down to anyone when fighting. After having trouble reconnecting with Simon once he began to remember her, the two finally got together again after a two years and a half apart. She continues to live a very happy life as an aunt (as of 2009), and Simon’s fiance (as of 2012).
Clary Fairchild and Jace Herondale: After attending her mother’s wedding to Luke, Clary chose to continue living as a shadowhunter. Jace trained her for a year, and that was when Simon began remembering them. She was there for him during his two years of training, and they became parabatai weeks after his ascension. When Maryse retired, she and Jace began to co-run the institute together, and the pair later got engaged in 2012 (she asked him with a sword that said “will you marry me?” in Latin). She and Jace have talked about having children, and she’s not opposed to it, but wants to wait a few years. Jace really wants kids. Jace quickly grew into his new identity of being a Herondale, and was pleasantly surprised to meet Kit Rook, a long-lost Herondale, and therefore a very distant relative to Jace. Thinking he was the only Herondale left, Jace was overwhelmed to learn about his existence, and he quickly grew close to the boy, acting like a cousin figure of sorts. Clary and Jace became aunt and uncle in 2009, and Jace has continued to prove to be a bad influence to children.

And so it comes full circle. In season 1, we saw the “you can see me” scene for the first time, saw a warlock and a shadowhunter flirt for the first time (the warlock toasted their relationship, before it even started), and saw the same two kiss for the first time, in front of the entire institute. In season 3, we saw the warlock and the shadowhunter get married, in front of the entire institute (and the Shadowhunter toasted their relationship once more). We saw a new shadowhunter, and a new downworlder flirt, and we saw the “you can see me” scene one last time. The entire plot, the entire show is one large circle, and I think it is perfect. So, as you know, I have been giving you book-to-screen facts since episode one, and I thought the best way to end this series was if I gave one large last comment with all the character’s book endings. The only people excluded are show-only characters, and characters who had the same endings in the books. This is a VERY long comment, so to prevent lag/annoying people, I’ll be dividing it into several parts and posting the other parts in the replies of my comment. This will be the case for both patreon and youtube. Before I give the full fact, the names of the songs in this episode are: Hymn 21 by Colouring, I Get To Love You by Ruelle, Holding Out For You by Lizzy Land, and This is Where We Come Alive by Ruelle. So without further delay, here we go, the book ending for every character in Shadowhunters:
Simon Lovelace- I needed to start with Simon because what he goes through is very different than in the show. It also gives background context to everyone else’s story. Clary actually never loses her memories. The angels aren’t mad at her for using her powers, and she continues to live a normal shadowhunter life. But someone else does lose their memories. And that’s Simon. It’s going to take a lot of explaining, seeing as the show changed so much from the books, but here is the gist: Clary, Simon, Isabelle, Alec, and Jace go to edom to save Raphael, Meliorn, Magnus, Luke, and Jocelyn (the downworlder delegates) from Jonathan, who had kidnapped them as a way to bait Clary into ruling demon beside him. They traveled through Edom, faced a dream demon, take down Sebastian and so on, but the group was left with no way to return home. Magnus was weakened from days of being trapped in his father’s realm, and before dying, Jonathan sealed the borders between the two worlds. The only way for them to get home was to summon Asmodeus (who in the books was not really interested in Magnus, had stayed in Edom during the entire ordeal on Earth, and for the most part did not care about having his son rule beside him) and ask him for help. Asmodeus agreed to send everybody back, as long as he was allowed to keep Magnus with him, and take away his magic and immortality. Just as Magnus was about to agree to allow his friends to be saved, Simon stepped in and took Magnus’ place. If Magnus’ immortality was taken away, 400 years of life would catch up to him and he would die. If Simon’s was taken away, he would remain a 17 year old boy. Asmodeus agreed, because daylighters were a rarity, and interesting, but he also said he would take Simon’s memories. Specifically, the ones about the shadow world. There are several reasons why he chose to do that, but one of them was that demons feed off of memories, and he wanted to cause as much pain as possible. So he did just that. He took Simon’s memories of the Shadow World, and for a year, Simon never remembered Isabelle, Clary, or anyone else he met during his journey. And he was human again. However after a year, he began remembering things. Magnus found out and had an idea. If Simon ascended and became a shadowhunter, then he would be protected from the demon’s curse. So Simon went to the Shadowhunter Academy for two years, and he ascended to become a shadowhunter. He made a friend there named George Lovelace, who passed away, and Simon changed his name to honor him. At one point during his journey, he and Isabelle began dating again, he became parabatai with Clary, and in 2012 he and Isabelle got engaged, and are most likely going to get married in the next few books.

I can't believe you are already at the finale. I joined this journey when you were just on episode 7 of season 1- Think I'm gonna have a binge fest tonight and go through the whole story with you one more time.
Your bias to Alec is something I relate to greatly lol. This finale was emotional, and while I wished they had more time with this final storyline I'm happy with what they were able to do in such short notice of not being renewed.
I can't wait to see what journey it is you go on next! Also the bloopers for this season- phenomenal
