Y'all can I book rant for a second?? Kay, so I never watched the show version of "The Mortal Instruments" but I've read almost all the shadowhunter chronicle books. So one thing that I've seen about that forever pisses me off is this "Lydia Branwell" character in the show. She CANONICALLY cannot exist. Because
1. She says her ancestor, Henry Branwell, created the portal with the help of Magnus Bane, which is true. But HENRY CHANGED HIS LAST NAME TO FAIRCHILD FOR HIS WIFE CHARLOTTE. The Branwell line was ERADICATED from there on.
2. She is literally created to make drama between Magnus and Alec. Why?? They have enough struggles in the BOOKS without Alec having to marry someone he doesn't love (WHY?! Marriage isn't a requirement for a shadowhunter)
3. SHE JUST CANNOT EXIST AND IT'S STUPID STUPID STUPID LEAVE MALEC ALONE JEEZ THEY HAD ENOUGH DRAMA THROUGHOUT THE SERIES. Especially Magnus because ALL of the Herondales always find him!! #justiceforMagnus
