The Descent is Easy

Quotes that are tDiE for

19 Comments

Quotes that are tDiE for is a game we are introducing for the start of Season 3 of Shadowhunters. Any of our listeners can join at any point! Don’t feel like you are ever late to the party!

The Rules

Anyone joining the game will get a collection card on which you battle six demons that are attacking New York. The cards will be displayed here at all times, so you can always keep track of your card!

Ruth and Michelle will pick their favourite quote of each current episode (one each, no choosing the same quote) and you can write in and guess as to what quotes we have picked. You get 2 guesses per write in and all write ins must be with us by midnight on Monday (EST) before the next episode airs on Tuesday. We will reveal our chosen quotes, announce the winners and read out all other suggested best quotes at the beginning of our next podcast episode.

You can contact us using Asks or Messages on tumblr, tweet us using #QuotetDiE or write in via the Contact Us on the website.

The Goal

If you guess one or both of our quotes correctly, you collect rune(s) on your card to battle the demons. The goal is to defeat all 6 demons! Across each half season there are 20 possible runes to be collected, 40 runes across the entirety of Season 3. May the odds be ever in your favour… hang on, wrong fandom. Nevermind. If you fill up your card, you can of course start a new one straight away.

The Prize

Anyone who has successfully saved New York from the demon invasion will get a piece of art done for them in the tDiE style. This can be of a character from Shadowhunters, yourself if you wish to use them as icons the way we use ours, your pets, or of anyone else! All you need to do is provide us with a chosen character/person or 2-3 photographs.

Episode 32: The Powers That Be

, 2 Comments

Episode 32 of The Descent Is Easy discusses The Power That Be, Episode 2 of Season 3 of Shadowhunters.

We lament the lack of thigh runes and reveal the first winner of #QuotetDiE before discussing the wonderful and vast amount of Malec domesticity, terribly awkward double dates and try to unravel our feelings over finding ourselves in the middle of a crossover between a pastiche to the old Pink Panther movies and the Lightwood-Bane Investigations Buddy Cop Comedy we never knew we needed in our lives…

Episode 31: On Infernal Ground

, 0 Comments

Episode 31 of The Descent Is Easy discusses On Infernal Ground, Episode 1 of Season 3 of Shadowhunters.

Ruth and Michelle discuss the trauma of having had to watch this episode separately from each other, due to conflicting schedules and real life, before geeking out over Magnus’ clothes and Alisha being included in the new and shiny credits before Ruth, on air, pretends to be an Iratze! Let’s just say the endorphin rush from Shadowhunters FINALLY being back on our TVs led to a lot of fun and frolics…

Extra 3: Looking Forward to Season 3

, 0 Comments

SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS

In preparation for the start of Shadowhunters Season 3, we’re looking at the tweets and teasers we’ve had during the hiatus, and talk through our hopes and dreams for the upcoming season, some of which seem very likely (Hello, Magnus backstory! Welcome, downworld world building); and some less so (we’ll never give up hoping for the full episode of steak eating, vodka drinking, and bath taking; and Ruth is holding on to the road-trip idea with both hands).

In short we’re super excited. Come join us!

The Descent Is Easy – Blooper Reel

4 Comments

To celebrate the long awaited release of the Shadowhunters Blooper Reel, we thought we would join in with some of our favourite bloopers from the last 8 months of recording The Descent Is Easy – A Shadowhunters Podcast. Please try not to judge us too hard!

Warning: Explicit Content! (Well, a few swear words here and there…)

Episode 29: Beside Still Water

, 0 Comments

Episode 29 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Beside Still Water, Episode 20 of Season 2 of Shadowhunters.

This is the end. The end of Season 2. The end of Valentine Morgenstern. The end of Jace Herondale. The end of Alec’s competency… did we say that out loud? Yeah, yeah we did. And we will repeatedly say it in this episode.

Clary however is awesome. She is fierce and plucky and brave. Stupidly so. And it’s brilliant!

And our Buffy fangirl hearts beat a bit faster when we realise that Rupert Giles created Nephilim. Turns out he really is as amazing as we decided he was when we were 13!

Episode 28: Hail and Farewell

, 0 Comments

Episode 28 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Hail and Farewell, Episode 19 of Season 2 of Shadowhunters.

In which the Shadowhunters go Shadowhunting; Alec gets a hero shot that almost makes up for his last one, on a shopping cart; we attempt to psychoanalyse Jonathan Morgenstern (good luck to us…); we discover much to our shock that the mortal mirror plot line is kinda nonsense; Maia and Simon are still adorable; and the Clace is on! (see what we did there?)

Episode 27: Awake, Arise, or Be Forever Fallen

, 6 Comments

Episode 27 of The Descent Is Easy discusses Arise, Awake or Be Forever Fallen, Episode 18 of Season 2 of Shadowhunters.

Unsurprisingly, this episode is long…

We talk about this episode containing all of the awesome and also, all of the awful. If you listen closely enough, you can hear the moment where Alec’s heart breaks in half and so do ours, because Alec lets go of Magnus’ hand. He lets go of his hand…

Also? Harry Shum Jr. is amazing. Just in case you forgot. He is.

And Clary’s arc of being a team player finally pays off when she has a thought, develops it into a plan and executes that plan flawlessly. You go girl!

The mobile phone head canon by maleccrazedauthor we mention in the episode can be found HERE – we thoroughly recommend it!

Episode 26: A Dark Reflection

, 2 Comments

In this episode Clary discovers her mother has even more plot significance than previously thought; Alec makes a grave error, possibly because he was distracted by lobster; Magnus is scary cross; and thank goodness for Luke. Meanwhile we’re totally down for Maia and Simon – we ship it, and we take a moment out of our previously scheduled broadcast to discuss Freud.
