The Alec Thread

I think Alec is more messed up than we think I mean I'm psyched to see how he acts when he realizes he doesn't love Jace. OOOOO so exciting!

I don't really think Alec is that screwed up - I just think he's confused, I've been there and I've done something similar to what he's doing/going through.

I personally think the whole scene with Jace will give him the clarity that he's been needing for so long and he will finally come to terms with who and what he is completely.

Well, Alec for me was love at first snarky sighting. He was so rude, so je naise que (SP?) that I was immediately enthralled.

I know what he's going through and I really hope he figures out he doesn't really love Jace like that soon. I also want him to get his head out of his butt and profess undying love to Mag, but God knows that'll happn when H-E-double toothpicks freezes over.

Anywhossey, yeah, definate love for the Alec.

I love Alec! He is such a cuttie! Though I must admit, for the most part of CoB I hated him. He was such a bitch! I mean, come on! Seriously! And ever after he is on crutches and he walks Clary to the greenhouses I was still super iffy about him. But in CoA I fell in love. Razz

And I think he makes the sweetest couple with Magnus! So I still got pretty mad at him in CoA when he wanted to take care of Jace when Clary was doing it. Like, there were many times when Clary was like "Jace?! You okay?" Then she would look over, see the look Alec is giving her and step away. That made me mad. But whatever. I love him. Razz

I really like Alec. But I have this fear about him dying in City of Glass. A final heroic act. Because he is like "the protector" figure to Jace, Isabelle and even Clary, I think that, like Imogen, he will die to save Jace. Unlike Imogen, I think that it will be a final act of love. Or is that too melodramatic?

Alaska · Subject: Re: The Alec Thread Thu Jul 03, 2008 1:56 am

Why does everybody think that?!?!?!?!? NO! I refuse!

Alce is NOT going to die. He ISN'T SHAMMIT! .......... T_T..... no wont.......

Course, if he does happen to die I'll be crying the hardest because I was so convinced he would live. XD. But like I have said, it would be too repetative if that was how he died. He already pulled that one in CoB when he saved Jace from the Greater Deamon. It would be stupid and it would loose it's meaning if he did it again.

I'm just going to quote what I said in the theories thread for CoG in here - because I think it's relevant to this conversation as well *nods*

Quote:

Well the reason why I say Isabelle over Alec is because she's always portrayed as the stronger and more skilled sibling. Like there's always talk of how great of a shadow hunter she is and how good she is at killing things. Plus it always seems to mention how she can be in the middle of a battle where everyone else ends up with blood everywhere and she walks away with not so much as even a spec of blood on her clothes.

Also there's always Jace saying how he thinks she is one of the best Shadowhunters their age besides himself. And I can see her death causing Jace to finally stop for a moment and question his own mortality, and even causing him a break down of sorts. Thus pushing Clary and Jace closer because no doubt she will have to be the one to tell him that he can do this and that she believes that he wont die. And in that giving him the final push he needs to kill Valentine.

I'm pretty sure I could see Max's death having the same effect, like the whole breakdown of Jace an what not. Plus it's rather random to just all of the sudden invest so much into a new character, like Max had more information given on him and more time invested in him in CoA than Maia. And I'm with Katy and in wonderment as to why else she would do that other than to just break all of our hearts and killing him off in CoG. Of course she could kill off Max, and both the parents in one fatal swoop. Like they are on their way to drag the boys back and help to get Simon out of prison and Valentine like blows up their plane OG style.

I don't know when I read books like these I refer back to other books I've read and other series and the general patterns I've noticed while reading them. And my gut at the moment for some reason is screaming that it's going to be Isabelle, Max or one(or both) of the parents. Because what I see is it not only finally making Jace realize his mortality finally but also causing Alec to stop being scared and to stand up and fight for the honor of his dead family.

All-in-all I don't see Alec being the one to bite the dust - at least to me he seems to be the least likely out of all of the Lightwoods, but I could be wrong...

..... once again your stupid deaths are causing me to think!

Okay. Get thiis. If the parents die, Alec would feel horrible because he never got the chance to "come out of the closet". So he would do the only thing he could do, stand proud and tall and make his relationship with Magnus... public. Very Happy

And I actually can't see one parent dying without the other.... I don't know. I think it would be too weird. So if one parent dies, so will the toher.

I. Adore. Alec. <3333333
I didn't like him at first, but as soon as I learned he was gay I started feeling really sorry for him, and by the end of CoB I wa completely in love with him, as much as I can love a fictional character.
The only thing I dislike about Alec is really the fact that he's not being fair to Magnus. -can rant about that for a long time-

Like many others, I am dreading his death in CoG. I'm terrified that he'll... die... -ready to cry just thinking about it- Being the protector and all...

My point exactly.

In CoB I hated Alec...but after reading CoA he's sorta grown on me...ya know?

I think that him Clary will have a pretty good relationship in CoG, after he gets over

Jace...lol...& realizes that he loves Magnus! he seems like a very loyal and good

friend...some one you can depend on, thats what I like best about him.

*Lisa_Lightwood* · Subject: Re: The Alec Thread Thu Aug 28, 2008 11:03 pm

Alec, Alec, Alec.

Why did everyone hate him so much in CoG??
He was my favorite character right from the very beginning ^^ Yes, right in front of Jace, who's only a close second...
He's just so... adorably awkward <3 I loved his attitude from the very beginning - finally a guy who doesn't even TRY to be lovable XD

Aww, he so cute <3 <3 <3

Guest

Hey, I've been quoted!^ <3

In fact, he almost tries NOT to be lovable. And yet he is. If only his gift was readily available for regular people to use.

*Lisa_Lightwood* · Subject: Re: The Alec Thread Fri Aug 29, 2008 2:34 pm

Hahaha definitely...

(and yeah, "adorably awkward" is like the perfect way to describe Alec <3)

I love Alec and I can totally relate to him. He's sensitive, insecure and utterly confused, without a clue of who he is, what he wants, where he's going and what he wants to do with his life. He cares, is protective and, yeah but why not, possessive of those he loves. He feels desperately uncomfortable in his own skin and focuses on an impossible relationship so he won't have to actually face how he feels and at the same time can use Jace as an excuse to stay away of all plausible relationships altogether.

And just imagine being in love with someone you could never ever have, someone who could never offer you anything more that friendship and then have a nobody pop out of nowhere and steal this person away, not just his/her heart but his/her mind, time ec.t. leaving you with nothing. It is cruel. I'm sure Clary wasn't the first one in Jace's life but she was the first one to fall in love with. Imagine Alec having to watch Jace fooling around with anything that walks and has breast, telling himself it's ok cause he'll forget all about them in the morning and then out of the blue…bang…the sort, unimpressive, redhead comes along and Jace is ready to lay his life on her feet without her asking him to, without sacrificing anything for him or offering something in return. It must be excruciating and infuriating.

Last but not least Jace and Isabelle is all Alec has. He is living a carful life which is fake but safe and totally his choice. Then Clary and her friends burst into it taking away so much more that just the one he loves. They bring confusion, insecurity, Magnus and so on threatening the calmness of Alec's very existence. I get and sympathase with him!!

I'm such an Alec fangirl it's starting to get dangerously obsessive. I love this character so much. His confusion, his sorrows and of course his interaction with Magnus. He's such a quiet and shy character with so many issue that I wouldn't mind reading an entire trilogy just about him and his coming out. The Lightwood chronicles! YAY!
