On the production of City of Ashes being pushed back

[overprotectivehunter]

You had the feeling this might happen and we both know it doesn't change anything.  You still have the books to base things off of and I have my Magnus.  Worry about what's going to happen in Heavenly Fire instead of a movie that's been postponed.  It still might be made.

If it isn't... maybe it's better this way.  No matter what you headcanon, I'm not an exhibitionist and we both know Magnus has problems sharing.

Comments

[magnus_bane]

I have more them just problems with sharing. It's not an option to even be considered. My mun says it's an issue I need to deal with.

[overprotectivehunter]

[He begins to speak, then considers Magnus' words. If it's more than just a problem, then he has an idea where this is leading.]

You can't keep turning people into red pandas.

[magnus_bane]

[The warlock gives him a long suffering sigh.]

Okay. I'll switch to newts or... even better... ducks.

[overprotectivehunter]

[He might not share his parabatai's fear of ducks, but he knows what Jace will be like if he is turned into one and that is slightly terrifying.]

I don't think it'll go well for either one of us if you turn him into a duck.

[magnus_bane]

[Golden eyes search Alec's face a moment before lowering them to watch his fingers pick at the cuff of his shirt.]

I wouldn't mainly because you wouldn't want me to.

[artem]

It's probably because they have to figure out how to fix everything they totally screwed up. [ like her hair. and hodge. and valentine's hair. and hodge. and simon's turning. and hodge. ]

[overprotectivehunter]

My mundane and I didn't think it was that bad. Some things had to be changed because it's a different media.

[artem]

There were things they changed that'll change everything else that happens, though. Some of them were important. Really, really important.

[overprotectivehunter]

We've wondered about how some of those things will be resolved, but things like Simon being turned into a rat... I think the new way they introduced what will happen works better for the movie.

I think what happened with Hodge was better in a way. [There's a trace of sadness in his voice and some of the frustration he's felt since his mundane read that book.] It's better than what happened to him in the other canon.

[conceitedhunter]

Exhibitionist? Angels above, spare me the mental images you've planted in my head.

[And hey, he's the only one allowed to make sexual Puns, Alec]

[overprotectivehunter]

[Sorry, Jace but that scene is an important one to both Alec and his mundane.]

Does that mean you're going to pretend that me kissing Magnus in front of the Clave never happened?

[conceitedhunter]

[Tough question to answer]

Bold move, Alec. Very bold. And here I thought I was the wild child of our group.

[overprotectivehunter]

I didn't do it to be the wild one. I wasn't going into a battle without Magnus doubting my feelings and I was tired of living a lie.

[acherontamovebo]

Then a possible third film - my mun saw an article that said if they do it they'll film them back to back.

Of course seeing me on film should be a highlight for everyone.

[overprotectivehunter]

[Alec had been hoping to forget about certain aspects of a third film. Since they've already changed so much, maybe Max would get a second chance. But if they didn't...

Taking a deep breath, he reminds himself of what his mundane has said about the rules of this place and he can't kill Sebastian no matter how much he might want to.]

I doubt that most of them want to see you kill Max.

[acherontamovebo]

Maybe he'll be forgotten altogether. He's not really all that important, is he?

[overprotectivehunter]

[Fighting to keep his expression neutral, he reminds himself that Jace is going to kill Sebastian eventually.]

If he wasn't important, why did you kill him?

[cupio]

Ah. I mean, not that I want my life on the silver screen but it's a little disappointing.

[overprotectivehunter]

It is. My mundane and I had hopes that they'd keep going with our stories.

Maybe the articles are true and they really are working on the script.

[cupio]

Maybe they are! I mean I never understand the point in rushing things? It's not like people are going to be less likely to see it if it takes more than a year.

[overprotectivehunter]

I'd prefer they didn't rush some things. But my mundane's afraid that if they keep waiting, the excitement over our 'fandom' will slow down.

She's probably just overreacting to those teasers from the final book.

[cecily_herondale]

Magnus Bane? You know him?

[The curiosity is well lit in striking blue eyes as well.. she seems to circle Alec in utter fascination.]

That strange thought aside... you look so much like my before and yet nothing like him at all. How is that?

[overprotectivehunter]

Yes, Miss Herondale.

[It's odd to call her that when Tessa has told him so much about his great grandmother, but he doesn't want to be rude... or shock her with the idea that he's her descendant. And that he's dating the warlock who had been a friend of her brothers'.]

He's a dear friend of mine.

[He remains still as she studies him, wanting to ask about her life and about the Shadowhunter who had meant so much to Magnus.]

I'm related to the Herondales and Lightwoods.

[cecily_herondale]

[Her nose scrunches up at being called 'Miss Herondale' by someone that looks like he's is a Herondale. Like he should be walking off a branch of their family tree...]

Dear friends aren't concerned so intensely about sharing unless they're parabatai and I know for a fact that Mr. Bane is a warlock.

[And it wouldn't surprise her if said Warlock pursued this one with the way he went to such lengths for Will. And when the other hunter mentions his relations, it clicks together. Lightwoods and Herondales. Pausing in front of him she furrows her brow and reaches up to cup his face and pull him down to get a better look. Suddenly it all falls into place as she smiles brightly.]

You don't look like Will because you look like me...

[overprotectivehunter]

[Even if they look the same age, good manners have been drilled in to him since he was a child and in a way she is one of his elders.]

My parabatai is related to your brother. Magnus is...

[How does he explain it? When he talked to Gabriel, his great grandfather had hated both the idea of his descendent being gay and that he was dating a warlock.]

... my boyfriend.

[Mentally, he flails slightly but he lets Cecily pull him close, surprised at how bright and blue her eyes are, something he never really noticed while looking in the mirror. When she makes the connection, he gives her a shy smile.]

I'm your great grandson.
