Alec Lightwood | you treat him like a lap dog [+s3] 

I wanted to punch Jace every time he was mean to Alec

I hate that jace is always ready to blame Alec for Clary stupidity she left and put everyone in danger i am so glad he has Magnus .

The fact that Simon can figure out how Jace treats Alec in a few days of knowing them. And Jace can't even see that he is hurting Alec by choosing Clary over Alec and blaming Alec for Clary's stupidity.

But little do they know silver is rarer than gold

This breaks my heart. Someone in the comments wondered how Alec hadn't had a mental breakdown yet, but the thing is he has. Sure, it was magic, but as Magnus said himself, it wasn't just the magic. I wonder what would have happened if Alec never met Magnus, I don't think he would have a happy ending. Everyone is always blaming him for everything and even his parabatai (and worse, his parents) makes him feel like he's not good enough sometimes... I just really want some happy Alec because he deserves it :(

I literally want to see Alec finally snap so everyone around them will see what they have done. The fact the boy hasn't gone insane yet

Magnus thinking of Alec “If Jace was gold, catching the light and the attention, Alec was silver: so used to everyone else looking at Jace that that was where he looked too, so used to living in Jace’s shadow that he didn’t expect to be seen. Maybe it was enough to be the first person to tell Alec that he was worth being seen ahead of anyone in a room, and of being looked at longest. And silver, though few people knew it, was a rarer metal than gold.” Magnus literally saved Alec , from a boy hiding in shadows who was scared of emotions to a proud man who loved another man so much that he changed the world for him.

Alec Lightwood deserves every bit of happiness in the world that exists.

Clary literally left and Alec ran AFTER her, and yet Jace still blamed Alec for his girlfriends stupidity. It's so dumb.

He had the best storyline in the show

You know what pisses me off the most ? The « You know what a leader does, Alec ? Makes decisions. » Like, shut up Clary ! First of all, what do you know about being a leader ? Until three days ago, you didn't know about the Shadow World, you were about to begun college, after finishing high school. Did you magically learn being a leader in your sleep ? Where did you get this knowledge about leadership ? Meanwhile Alec has probably been doing this for a long time, he clearly knows what he is doing, he probably has been taught by his parents. Second of all, Alec has made decisions, but since they were not for your personnal profit, you, along with Jace and Izzy, decided to ignore them. → « Don't go to City of Bones » *Go to the City of Bones. Simon gets kidnapped. * → « Stay here » *Sneak out the Institute. Clary and Simon get kidnapped (again) * → « Give the Cup to the Clave to keep it safe » *Proceed to literally steal the cup * → « Wait for the Clave approval » *Ignore the Clave every signle time, because fuck consequences. * And I get that she's new to this world, but she isn't even trying ! Everytime she's like « I don't care about your rules ! », « I don't care about your stupid necklace ! », « I don't care about your damn politics ! ». We get it, Clary, you only care about yourself. She's not event trying to know this world, her world, to understand it, yet she has no qualms about bossing everyone around to get what she want, and telling people what's right and wrong. And everytime Alec is the one dealing with the fallout. He is the boss, the heir, so of course he's the one being blame, and I hate that no ones realises that ! Ales is Acting Head of the Institute, he has an entire Institute to run and so many Shadowhunters to care about, and Clary either doesn't realise that or she doesn't care. The worst ? Alec still continues to go with them, because he loves his siblings and he has their backs event when they don't have his. The only person who realise what Alec is going through, and why he's doing everything is Magnus. And even he betrayed Alec. And I'm more lenient to Magnus, because while he was clearly interested in Alec, they were not in a relationship yet. But, Izzy, Jace ? They're his siblings, Jace is his Parabatai, yet he chooses Clary over Alec, his brother, his parabatai, the man he grew up with, everytime. Alec deserves the world, but the world doesn't deserves Alec.

I agree,alec has been through a lot,always having the raw deal and never being recognised ,always in the shadow of others, controled and often told what to do until magnus,magnus is the only thing he has ever done for himself and i will support him to the heavens,he deserves every happiness he can get or givem.

Seriously Jace just acted like a completely and absolutely crazy lunatic once he saw Clary, like he has never saw any girl before... And then blaming Alec for "All" of her stupidity, it's just awful... And frankly I truly believe that Clary was vastly overrated both in the series and the books, I don't like her character even for a second... So glad Alec and Magnus found each other, they both deserved the best and finally they got it... ♥♥

Clary: why do you always look so miserable Me : ummmm maybe because EVERYONE TREATS HIM LIKE SHIT! He deserves all the happiness in the world

I hate the fact that, despite the fact he wanted nothing to do with helping save Clary's mom, because he didn't trust her and he had no reason to trust her, because he knew the repercussions he'd end up facing when the clave found out -- no one seemed to care or take that into account or didn't care at all because this stranger they met seemed to matter more smh. Alec deserves better.

You don't realize how much people blame or accuse Alec of things until you watch something like this. Poor Alec, he deserves nothing but love and affection, and of course Magnus. ❤

We're looking at someone who has basically been emotionally abused all of his life, who rises above it. So many of the story lines frame it as "Alec makes mistakes, makes amends" without putting it into the context of Why. Or, frankly, demanding the same of other characters in the same degree. Maryse is the only one I can think of who faces her past actions, changes through thoughtful effort, & tries to reconcile with people she's hurt. That's in part because Alec had the courage to reach for something he wanted personally for himself, in spite of everything...Magnus...& it sparked so many repercussions.

This man, this beautiful, beautiful man deserves the entire world. Not the cruel things Jace says to him, not the guilt his parents try to shove into him and definitely not the shits Clary puts him in. Again, he deserves the world. ...and he has Magnus with him, so I guess he already got his world.

He deserves the world

Remember what Izzy said? Alec talked to Izzy about anything but his personal life, which means he didn't let his problems out that often, bottling things up. And then we have Magnus who confronted him directly and said "when things get crazy don't push me away". He told Alec indirectly that he'll always be there for him and that he'll be the safe place for Alec to talk 😭

Okay this broke my heart in best way possible. Seeing how everyone’s always been caught up in their own mess and never looked back to see Alec slowly crumbling, seeing how over time they have realised that Alec has been so busy caring for others that he’s not cared enough for himself, seeing them love him like he deserves to be loved, seeing how far he’s come, seeing how he’s faced all the odds and come to be this responsible, amazing, proud man, who loves with everything he has and how everything is finally coming together now for him just is making me so proud of this wonderful man.

I love you for doing this video.. I love Alec! At the beginning he was freaking out beacause of J&C, but he was always there for his family, even for C. even if he doesn't like her!! And he is lovely, loyal and straightfoward!!! His story-line deserves better, more space even for himself.. but i love Malec!

This video just made me realise how EVERY SINGLE PERSON surrounding Alec has hurt him in many ways but yet NOBODY apologised. My baby deserves the world , why is ge going through so much pain?!?! 😭😭💓💓

If jalec was canon jace would count as the abusive partner

I realised this the moment I started watching the show. In the first books too Jace treats Alec in much the same way. Which is why I have and will always hate Jace. I love Alec and he deserves better than Jace and sometimes Isabelle too like she literally chose Clary over Alec when he was just looking out for them like seriously??!!

I didn't realise that literally EVERYONE was mean to Alec when all he ever wanted to do was the right thing....omg. Like even Izzy and Magnus were mean to him. I really didn't realise how much people were mean to him until this video.

Alec is the most precious sensible selfless emotional caring, responsible and best shadowhunter in the whole series but still got hurt by almost everyone he loves or care. Alec always had their backs but they turned their backs towards him, literally only magnus was with him and I m so happy that they got their happy ending after going through all the mess created by others..

yknow it’s funny how Alec is the only person there who is not special. Jace and Clary, angelic blood and stuff. Valentine’s experiments. Literally going around meeting angels and getting to make grand wishes and prophesied. Magnus? Eldest Son of a prince of hell and the high warlock, born more powerful. Isabelle? Had that thing with heavenly fire eventually. Simon? Daylighter. Lmao I guess Cassandra Clare really just envisioned him as “the gay one”. In the book, when we see magnus’s pov we realise Alec is just deeply good and kind and compassionate and empathetic and genuine. And also despite being so ordinary, he comes up with the best schemes and plans even for others without any extraordinary power helping. And he literally fought through a nest of multiple kinds of demons while poisoned- all on the roof a moving train snaking through the mountains just to save Magnus in “the red scrolls of magic”. He’s so cool rlly. And I just am in awe of everyone gets a cool extra power and Alec….. he keeps up with every single person on this list without those extra powers. Just being more human and heart working and ordinary. He’s like silver amidst all the gold around him and he saves them and holds them together and leads them. It’s kinda cool.

This is heart wrenching. Throughout the book and movie it's clear how they treat him. The way he treats himself is a form of self harm and hatred... It's everyone too... But no one noticed.

Alec Lightwood deserves so much better. I actually want him to snap and get mad at Jace, for all the times he's put him down, made him feel worthless, hurt him. It's so unfair. I feel like Magnus is the only thing keeping Alec going sometimes. Loved this edit ❤️❤️

I hated the way Jace treated Alec as soon as Clary came along. He blamed Alec for Clarys fuck ups. He pretty much forgot that Alec was a person and not just someone at his beck and call. Sometimes both his siblings treated him pretty shodily. Poor Alec. But in the end, he was stronger and wiser then either and had the most healthy and beautiful relationship of either of them. Alec was loyal and devoted to all those he loved and cared for. Loyal to a fault sometimes. Its why he and Magnus are my favourite two chatacters in the show as they were both so brave and selfless and willing to do anything for those they loved and considered family.

Alec is the real victime of shadowhunters , Clary is just a drama queen . But Alec is so precious , everyone is always expecting the best from him , I'm sure it's pretty hard for him . He's just trying to make choices that no one can do because everyone is afraid . He sacrified himself so many times and all he received was pure shit . Jace , Maryse , Izzy , Clary , Magnus , everyone . Everyone hurts him everytime by telling him things that he don't deserves to heard . It breaks my heart so much . Also sorry if my English is TOOO bad 'cause i' m French soo

this hurts my heart so much.. i love Alec so much and the poor boy deserves all the love and appreciation he can get.

The thing I hate the most is that Jace completely taking all the risks and ignoring his brother for the new idiot redhead, I mean clary is new, she needs to learn things first, but no, she thinks she already knows everything, and why because Jace supports her in everything. Alec has the responsibility for saving his family, but Jace sometimes it's like he doesn't cares, all he sees is 'clary'. Everyone tried to love Jace from the time he came, but this girl came and he's like "oooh, my dad left me, no one loved me, and she made me feel loved and familiar and comfortable". I don't want to be Mean but Alec gives everything to save the people he loves while Jace cares ONLY about clary. There, I said it and I don't regret it.

Alec is always treated horrible he deserved so much better I am so glad he got his happy ending. His parents especially his mother treats him wrong always chooses jace he is the golden star boy while Alec is left in the shadows and I love Izzy but Alec tried to help her and she wouldn’t help him and jace literally would choose clary over his own parabatai which is wrong since he grew up with him and how Alec felt really bad for killing Jocelyn it wasn’t his fault he deserved better I am so glad he got the love he deserved and people who cared about him in the end

Jace pissed me off when you blamed Alec for no reason but I really wanted to much Alecs dad when Alec says "You always drilled into me that I was never good enough"

You know how people say they get chills. I got like a wave of heat and it's like anxiety and dread all over my body after watching this. My heart is racing, my ears are ringing and my skin is tingling because so many of those negative things people said to alec and how they were blaming him for nothing. I experience with alot of negative thoughts so having some of those said by these characters hit on a whole different level. I also empathize with people alot so I feel bad for alec. Like Jace his parabatai, his brother said right to his face he isn't good enough, his mother said how he has humiliated them, Izzy said that she isn't his little sister anymore when he was just trying to protect her, Magnus breaks up with Alec after saying he loves him and how alec is pulling him back. Alec didn't deserve so much shit being thrown at him but it also made him stronger and if I weren't lazy I'd probably write some psychological stuff.

This made me cry so much! ALEC LIGHTWOOD IS A PRECIOUS AND WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING AND HE DESERVES ALL THE HAPPINESS IN THE WORLD!!!

The best character on the show. I am glad they eventually lightened up but he didn’t deserve that kind of treatment.

Jalecs: why do you hate Jace? Me;

Alec is the kind of person who will hide their own tears and say they're fine whilst wiping away everyone else's

jace doesn't deserve to be alec's parabatai

its okay, i didnt need my heart anyway ;_;

My heart just broke ;-;

I really like it when the characters I love are miserable cus I know that the author will always make up for it later on.

I adore Alec. He and Magnus are easily the best characters in the whole-ass series. I love Simon and Izzy, but even they don't hold a candle to our Malec. Jace and Clary aren't even on the radar for me, for all that they're the "leads."

Yeah I did low key got tired of everyone blaming Alec whenever anything went wrong, especially when Clary was being dumb bum at the beginning. Kind of feel like only one thing lacking in the show was connection between Parabatai, it was only like really mentioned couple times as something affecting both people.

alec is literally my baby and i would do anything for him jace can get out of this household with clary rn or i will call the damn cops!!!!!! PROTECT ALEC AT ALL COSTS

Alec deserves the world honestly, he is better than Jace in soo many ways and Jace is so mean and rude to Alec when he messes up

I would die for Alec Lightwood in a heartbeat he deserves so much better

It's his birthday today and I came across this clip. My poor baby! I'm sobbing-

my baby boy deserves to be happy more than anyone else. i felt so bad when he was trying to commit suicide. everybody blame him for everything! EVEN HIS PARABATAI. so glad for his happy ending with magnus.

I'm crying so much!! My baby!!

No. Jace, why you gotta be so rude? Poor Alec. Who agrees that Alec is a better shadowhunter than Jace?

4:36 - 4:39 You're a good liar Jace but you don't seem convincing enough to me

This was painful and beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

this broke my heart.

This made me cry so much.

THIS WAS PAINFUL AAAAA Poor Alec :( he needs more love. The fandom love him, but the actual characters need to love him skskskskw ALSO : just wanted to add that jalec love each other a lot more in the books... it’s a lot cuter.

🙌 Alec 🙌 deserves 🙌 better 🙌

This video took me on an emotional journey and it was worth the ride. Thank you for your brilliance!

I always felt that Alec was mistreated because he followed the rules. he was the obedient son, the trustworthy one and everyone got angry with him. but he proved his worth. he was always my favorite character. I love him. These scenes break my heart. a misunderstood 💔🤧🤗

This broke my heart. It is very well edited, I love it!

The world is not going to treat you better just because you are a good human being..

Thank you for this super cut of my heart breaking a hundred times.

Jace treated Alec really rude and I felt like he looked down on him in season one

Alec did nothing wrong and Magnus loves him very much

It was a good edit. Enjoyed it a lot.

Wow, okay. This hurts

I'm crying and can't stop😭 but when Magnus said "the only thing that holding me back for doing that is You!" and then "Duhhh!" come out, now i don't know should i continue sad or laugh 😅

alec deserves sooo much better!

Awww poor alec.....

I think I n the second and third season they lay off Alec a bit I mean Jace just cared about Clary but after malec became a thing he became happier NOW I like Jace AND he blames himself for so much

Ten seconds in and I'm crying... Stop hurting him!!

wow my heart

This broke my heart 🥺🥺

Sometimes I think Clary treats Alec better than jace

That is the reason i don't like jace ...

This is the saddest Alec video ever.... 😭😭😭 But I luv it

And thats why I can't stand jace!

Los mejores personajes de la serie son alex y magmun los dos son excelentes actores y ademas son tan bellos

1:24 Which episode is this, please?

He deserves the world
