Today in Fandom History: April 28
Fandom: Actor
April 28, 1982, Harry Shum Jr was born. The Shadowfam will know this actor/dancer for amazingly portraying the bisexual freewheeling warlock, Magnus Bane on the tv show Shadowhunter’s: The Mortal Instruments. His background as a dancer means his Magnus is very fluid which makes the magic effect so cool, also his line delivery is over the top in the most Magnus way, and tv Malec is a godsend. He was also Mike Chang in Glee and was in LoveHard (which went above and beyond my expectations), All My Life, Crazy Rich Asians, Single By 30, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Mortal Combat: Legacy, and the short film 3 Minutes. Harry’s won a People’s Choice Favorite Male TV Star for Shadowhunter’s, an NBR, and has been nominated for three Screen Actors Guild awards. An actor, short-film director, dancer, singer, and choreographer, he’s an incredibly talented human being beloved by the fandoms he’s become a part of. Happy birthday Harry Shum Jr!

when I was in China the last two weeks, among other things, the most momentous part of the trip was when I met the real life Magnus Bane in terms of personality. He was an Asian man who was born in America but moved to China to teach English and he was completely fabulous and magical (minus actual magic) and my friend and I who both love the Shadowhunters universe kept looking at each other and then kinda just "magnus bane?" "magnus bane" and we told him (he had no idea what it was though) and got a video of him talking and I don't know why I'm sharing this except that I thought it was completely beautiful.

49 Magnus, Ragnor, and Catarina
“You caught me doing something dangerous and flipped out.”
Thank you so much @themimsyborogove for the prompt, I adore writing these three! I did three little ficlets, one for each of them, though Magnus and Ragnor’s scenes are much more serious than Catarina’s, because (I believe) Catarina has never done anything wrong in her whole life.
Prompt from this list | fic on ao3
| Magnus |
“You tried to what?!”
From Catarina’s expression, Magnus didn’t think he should really answer this question. But he also didn’t like to lie to his friends. “I wanted to see if I could use some angelic runes to boost this spell I’m working on-”
“He’s insane,” Ragnor said. He was sitting in one of Magnus’ chairs, a beautiful thing with gilded arms and legs that fit perfectly in his new Paris home. Magnus had invited Ragnor and Catarina over to see it when they found him… indisposed.
“Are you just going to lecture me? There are such great parties we could be at right now,” Magnus pointed out, pouting. He was draped dramatically over his chaise lounge to signal his displeasure.
Catarina was pacing. Her glamour was flickering in her rage. “You know you could kill yourself if you use runes. You’re nearly 200 now Magnus, you shouldn’t be taking such foolish risks!”
“But there must be a way to travel instantaneously from one place to another!” Magnus pointed out, sitting up because he was excited by this work. “It would be like what happens when we summon demons, but for traveling the world! I was thinking angelic magic might stabilize it and create such a portal.”
“You were passed out on the floor of your living room,” Ragnor huffed. “It obviously didn’t work. If Catarina and I hadn’t been here-”
“I would have been fine,” Magnus waved a ringed hand. He ignored the way his throat closed a little, with the lie of his words and his own fears.
“No, you wouldn’t,” Catarina said, sitting next to him and forcing Magnus to move out of her way. “Ragnor and I are going to stay in the city for a while. You won’t mind if we live with you while we do?”
Magnus looked at them both, the worry in their eyes. God be damned, he missed them. He missed having people to care about and people to care for him. Clearing his throat after a beat he nodded, “I have to break this new house in. We can throw parties!”
Ragnor huffed, pushing himself up. “Are we done with drama? Now where have you put the liquor…” He wandered out of the room.
“Thank you Catarina,” Magnus murmured, so quiet he almost hoped she wouldn’t hear.
Of course she did though. She patted his arm, before standing and beginning to explore the room. Going through his books, more like. Maybe living with these two again would be alright.
Certainly better than living alone.
| Ragnor |
Ragnor rested on the forest floor, watching the night sky through the bare tree branches. All around him was the smell of fallen leaves and the coming winter. It would be lovely, if chilly, if only Ragnor could remember how he’d gotten there.
Looking to his side, he saw Magnus, who was also laying on the ground, but watching Ragnor instead of the sky. Magnus’ usually smiling face was pulled into a worried frown, golden eyes wide in the limited light.
“Hello,” Ragnor said. “What debatchory lead to this?”
“You almost died,” Magnus responded, voice quiet but oh so disappointed. Damn it if that didn’t strike guilt straight through Ragnor’s heart.
“It couldn’t have been that bad,” Ragnor tried to keep his voice light. “Probably just a few too many bottles-”
“You challenged three of keepers of the Spiral Labyrinth to a duel because they wouldn’t let you borrow a book you wanted.”
Ragnor turned to stare back up at the stars. He could remember a bit of that if he tried, but it hurt. “Still could have been too many bottles that lead to such a fool hearty act.”
“They called Catarina and I to pick you up,” Magnus said, voice still very soft and very serious. “Ragnor you can’t scare us like that.”
Ragnor rested an arm over his eyes so he couldn’t see Magnus and feel more guilty. “I’m sure it wasn’t so dramatic.”
“Listen to me,” the words were strong, and Ragnor heard leaves shuffle. “We’re immortal, but what are we to do if we lose our friends? We have forever with each other until we don’t.” The next breath was shaky. “Don’t leave me before you have to, old friend.”
Ragnor didn’t have anything he could say to that. “Where is Catarina?” he asked instead.
“Giving those in the Spiral Labyrinth a piece of her mind,” Magnus sounded almost amused, though it was clear he had not yet forgiven Ragnor.
“And you say I’m the one who barely escaped death,” Ragnor chuckled.
“Just wait till she’s done with them and gets here,” Magnus warned, patting Ragnor’s shoulder. “She still hasn’t talked to you.”
“Oh no.”
“Oh yes.”
| Catarina |
Catarina ran into the hotel suite she had been sharing with Magnus and Ragnor, breathing heavily. Darting over to Magnus’ trunk she began to strip off her dress and pick out a suit she could change into.
Magnus stepped into the room from the balcony. “Catarina, why are there palace guards coming down the street?”
“Ah,” Catarina licked her lips, which were still swollen. “Definitely not my fault.”
Ragnor burst in from the hallway. “Which one of you has the witchhunt out?”
Magnus pointed at Catarina without hesitation. Well fine then.
Catarina rolled her eyes, tugging off her final skirt and tugging on some trousers. “Just because you were found under the princess’ skirts-”
Magnus and Ragnor both straightened, looked at each other, and then Ragnor cursed. He dug into his wallet and passed Catarina a few coins. Magnus rolled his eyes and did the same, before sitting on the floor and watching her. Catarina put on a hat just to tip it, before returning to her task of turning herself from a lady to a gentleman in appearance.
“Okay, how’d you do it?” Magnus asked. “I wooed her with flowers-”
“And who could refuse the good wine I gifted,” Ragnor said.
“-and sweets from across the world!” Magnus added.
“And jewels of all types,” Ragnor huffed.
Catarina just laughed. Whenever the same person all caught their eye, it was a bet she more than happily won. “She didn’t want to be wooed. She wanted to be tossed onto her bed, tied to the bed posts with silk, and-” She was cut off by a loud knocking on the door. Kicking her dress out of sight, she finished buttoning up her shirt while Ragnor went to get the door.
“Can I help you?” Ragnor asked. “Oh, you do have some guns don’t you. Fascinating new inventions if I may say.”
“Move aside sir,” the order was barked, and Ragnor put his hands up, stepping backward into the room. Two guards came in, and Catarina covered her mouth with a hand.
“May I ask what happened?” Magnus asked the guard that pushed past him to look on the balcony.
“You may not,” was the only reply. Neither guard gave any of them more than a second glance and once they had looked through the room in all the places a person could hide, they left.
Catarina’s shoulders sagged in relief. That didn’t last long, as Ragnor rounded on her, face flushed a dark green. “What were you thinking?”
“I wasn’t? I was sleeping with a very nice, very attractive princess,” Catarina said with a shrug.
“You got caught! You can’t get caught! Now we have to leave,” Ragnor tossed his hands in the air. Catarina sat beside Magnus on the floor, at prepared herself for a very long lecture. “Honestly, I taught you a hundred years ago how to get into and leave a palace unseen. What if you’d been caught, hmm? This is a disgrace to my teachings AND highly dangerous!”

WHAT IF.......
@luciddreamsx starter for Alexander Lightwood
There were a million  situations where Magnus Bane and Alexander Lightwood could have ended up together, in fact in the warlock’s head he had assumed that after everything that had happened between them that they would get together but that wasn’t the case. They were in fact miles from that.  But that hadn’t stopped Magnus doing some thing as selfless as giving his magic to his father to save those silly little Nephelim because even though he didn’t have Alec, he couldn’t also lose Clary, Jace, Simon or even Isabelle. No he refused too. 
        But that was something that Alexander Lightwood didn’t know and he had warned all of the shadowhunters and vampire that did know not to breath a word to the Lightwood elder. No he didn’t want to be pitted because of it. He didn’t want the Lightwood to come to him because of the sacrifice. Magnus Bane was worth a lot more than that. In fact he felt hurt and betrayed just thinking about Alec’s last words to him. “What do you want me to give up my life for you?”.
       The blue eyed male had a lot to think about and when he had thought about it, he had decided that they weren’t going to work together. The warlock had been soul destroyed but he couldn’t leave the rest of the people he loved out in the cold merely because the person he loved wouldn’t love him back, the warlock couldn’t be that selfish. 
       So he was being selfless. 
        But one of the conditions, Isabelle had agreed to keeping the secret about Magnus not having his Magic was that he had to train how to fight, which Magnus was more than happy to agree to - after all he didn’t want to be someone helpless. He didn’t want to have to be saved by his friends and he certainly did not want to look weak in front of a certain raven haired lightwood male even if he had been rejected. 
       Which was why Magnus Bane stood in his loose fitting top in the institute with his jogging bottom  and very little jewelry on if any because that was what the weapons master had suggested.  
“Isabelle are you sure this is wise, we could have easily trained in my apartment instead of here”
        The warlock shrugged his shoulders and the black haired male, Magnus couldn’t help but admire how much she looked like her brother, they were like the male and female version of each other which held so much appreciation for Magnus - but she was no Alexander Lightwood. Magnus had kept  his distance from this place for too long only doing the odd tasks when his friend had asked and never took any of the credit for it. 
        He had already lost his job as high warlock and his magic to his father. There was very little left for him to loose and he really didn’t want to be stripped bear in front of the person he loved especially when that person didn’t love him back. 
“It will be fine Magnus, beside I train better on my home ground, how just wait here. I had sticks for us to train with, I think it’s the perfect weapon for you to learn with first. Just let me grab them”
          Izzy smiled her teeth white towards the warlock as she gripped his hand and squeezed before she turned on her tail and ran off to get where ever she said she was going. Magnus took in a deep breath and began to stretch out, he was feeling all wound up being this close to Alexander without any intention of seeing the shadowhunter, because he had no intention of running into him lately. His fragile little being couldn’t take it. In the moments where he wanted to call the Lightwood he had to take a drink - it was like a personal decision he had made, which made him drink a lot of nights, even if it weren’t as his usual locals like the hunters moon.

As someone who just finished reading TRSOM, I think I’m qualified to host this year’s annual ship awards. In the category of “most cockblocked ship”, I hereby declare Malec as the winner!!! After being rudely interrupted time and time again by demons, warlocks, even Malec themselves, this ship (consisting of Disaster Gay Shadowhunter Alec Lightwood and Freewheeling Bisexual Warlock Magnus Bane) has made it to the top of our list!! Since neither member of this ship is currently here to receive this award, as they’re finally getting the alone time they deserve, this award will be taken by Jace Wayland/Lightwood/Morgenstern/Herondale, Alec’s parabatai, as the character who finally got laid in book six.

Happy birthday to MAGNUS LIGHTWOOD-BANE THE FREEWHEELING BISEXUAL WARLOCK, WE LOVE! YOU BEBE!!!!!!

Hey, I want to read the color of love but I don’t know anything about shadowhunters. Will I be lost?
oh heyyyyyyy 💕 You have no idea how happy this makes me!! I'd love for you to read it. I love that au, and I miss it sometimes. Writing it made me so happy, and I loved the Robbe/Jens/Sander dynamic so much.
Do I think you need to know anything about Shadowhunters to enjoy the story? Not really. I explain a lot of it along the way, and the references I make to the books and outside events are there for atmosphere (there aren't a lot). They don't have anything to do with the plot or characters. Since I'm using the book world, people who've only seen the tv show wouldn't understand most of those references either. It was really just to help me make the world feel more real, give it depth.
But what I can do for you is give you a little crash course here, though you'll have to forgive me. I'll do my best to keep it brief, but this is probably my 2nd favorite fictional world and one of my favorite book series and tv shows ever...so I get a little excited just thinking about it. Putting it under a cut:
Shadowhunters - they're warriors with angelic blood whose sole existence is to fight demons and protect the world. they have super-human abilities, like they're naturally faster, stronger, and start training to fight at an early age. they draw runes on themselves with steles (a fancy pen or whatever) that enhance their abilities or help them, like stamina or healing. they can be stuck up and often don't mix with other kinds of people.
They mostly use seraph blades made of adamas to kill demons bc they’re imbued with aglow power, which is why they have to say an angels name to activate them.  
Leadership is called the Clave; local leadership is the Enclave
Live in Institutes (huge buildings that are glamoured to be invisible) in all major cities; not everyone lives in one.
Silent Brothers - creepy order of Shadowhunters that sew their mouths shut and speak telepathically; usually the healers
Parabatai - Shadowhunters who are non-romantic, lifelong partners who've chosen to go through a magical bonding ceremony that makes them closer than siblings. They fight best when together and are rarely separated.
Mundanes - normal, non enhanced people
Fey - the people of Faerie; mix of Angel and Demon; they have a Seelie Queen and an UnSeelie King, two halves of the kingdom; they can look like anything and be a number of different species like pixie, nixie, brownie, etc. Their access to and use of magic varies, but it's a common trait. The main thing to know is that they sided with the wrong side in a war 5-6 years ago and were essentially shunned and treated like 2nd class citizens. They've only just been welcomed back and not by everyone. Things are tense.
Warlocks - immortals who can wield magic; have one demon parent; can be hired by Shadowhunters when needed
Werewolves - exist but I don't think they're really pertinent to my story.
Vampires - also exist but I don't they're pertinent either. These are all the different groups of people.
Magnus Bane - High Warlock of Brooklyn; main character from the actual series and one of my favorite characters of all time; to quote him he's a "freewheeling bisexual;" he's known for helping shadowhunters and is extremely kind, funny, and flamboyant; and he's on the Clave council and married to the Consul
Alec Lightwood - (my love) currently the Consul, leader of the Clave, and the first Shadowhunter to come out as gay; he and Magnus adopted 2 boys. There's so much more but you don't need it for the story. Their ship name is Malec.
I know this is a lot. I hope it's not too much. You honestly don't need to know any of this to enjoy the story. I read Merthur and Buddie fics before I watched their shows.
If it sounds fun, I highly recommend the books, called The Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare (first trilogy is rough at times, but it picks up after that), and the show, just called Shadowhunters.
Thank you for your ask! I had a lot of fun revisiting this world and thinking about what you needed to know. I hope you enjoy the fic and have a lovely day!!!
