A Conversation about The Mortal Instruments with Michael Booklion

The host of this conversation is excited to have a very special guest, Michael Booklion, also known as "Michael", on their channel. As they sit down together, the atmosphere becomes lively and playful, setting the tone for an entertaining discussion.

As they begin, the host mentions that today's topic is The Mortal Instruments tag, but with a twist - Michael will be answering questions about the series, while the host takes over as the interviewer. This reversal of roles adds an element of unpredictability to the conversation, making it even more engaging for viewers.

The first question posed by the host is who Michael thinks their favorite character in The Shadowhunters Chronicles series is. After some hesitation, Michael confidently states that his favorite character is Jace Wayland. He explains that he has "talked about this a lot" on his channel, and his familiarity with the series makes him feel comfortable answering questions about it.

The host playfully teases Michael, saying that he probably won't answer correctly and will reveal more than he lets on. However, when she asks if Jace is indeed his favorite character, Michael confirms her suspicion, stating "It's Jace, it's Jace, it's Jace" in a humorous way.

The host then moves on to the next question, asking who Michael thinks their favorite OTP (One True Pairing) in The Mortal Instruments series is. Without hesitation, Michael responds with "Jace and Clary." His enthusiasm for this pairing is evident, and he seems confident that it's the correct answer.

Next, the host asks Michael what his favorite Jace quote from the books is. However, when she mentions that there are many quotes to choose from, Michael becomes uncertain, saying that he doesn't know his favorite quote. The host provides a possible option, but Michael remains unsure, leading to an amusing exchange where they both laugh and poke fun at each other's inability to come up with the perfect answer.

The conversation continues in this lighthearted manner, with the host asking follow-up questions and Michael providing humorous responses. Despite some uncertainty and playful teasing, their banter reveals a deep affection for The Mortal Instruments series and its characters.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enE: Hey guys, what's up? So I have a very special guest with me today...E: It's Michael, Mi-! *laughs* M: *interrupts* Michael Booklion!E: So, Mike is here, and today we're going to be doing The Mortal Instruments tag. Yeah, The Mortal Instruments tag.E: Um, but we're doing it differently, because Michael's gonna be answering the questions for me.M: I'm gonna try. Yeah. E: You're gonna try. You're probably gonna fail, as much as you think you know me, because I talk about this a lot on this channel.E: 'Kay, so let's get on with the questions. The first question is, who is your favorite character, or, well, who is my favorite character?M: Just from the series? This is a tough one. This is a tough one. E: You do all of The Shadowhunters Chronicles so far.M: Uh, Jace Wayland? It's Jace, it's Jace, it's Jace. E: *hesitates* No, you're right, it's Jace.E: How do you think I would - *laughs* M: You said no, and I was like, shut up.E: Second question, who is my favorite otp? M: Jace and Clary. E: There we go.M: *makes weird nose* I got two. What was that sound? E: *laughs*E: Are you okay? *laughs* M: Yeah.E: What is my favorite Jace quote from the books? I don't think I know my favorite Jace quote from the books. There's too many.M: I don't know. E: You don't know? I was going with, \"I love you, and I will love you till the day I die, and if there's a life after that, I will love you then.\"M: That was my second guess E: Yeah, okay.E: Who is the sexiest Shadowhunter in the series? M: I don't know who you're gonna go with on this one...um, Cl-Jace.E: Cl-Jace? Is that a character? M: Sounds like an STD, chlamydia. Jace. E: This is correct.E: Question Five, is if you could have any Shadowhunter last name, what would it be?E: In my Mortal Instruments Tag that I posted, like a year ago, I answered this. I'm gonna throw you a bone...M: Jace has, like, seven last names! E: This is very true. M: This isn't fair.E: Emma Wayland, Morgenstern, Lightwood, Herondale. But that's not it. There's actually a section in The Shadowhunters CodexE: where they have all the possible Shadowhunter last names. So... M: And one of them's not Jace's? You're not-it's not Jace's last name that you want?E: Ugh, where the fuck is it? M: Are you wearing a Morgenstern ring right now?E: I am wearing a Morgenstern ring. M: I'm gonna go with...no. E: No, I'm not, no. M: Are you throwing me off?E: Okay, in The Shadowhunters Codex, there is this one area where it's like, you know, Shadowhunter names are like compound names? They're all compound names?M: Yes, like chemicals. E: Sure. *laughs* There is an area where you can pick two of the, like, possible Shadowhunter names.E: So, pick two and give me my Shadowhunter name. I'll tell you if I approve.M: Hunter-Stair. Hunterstair. E: I'm a Hunterstair? M: That's horrible.M: I'd go with Hunterstair, but I know it's not right. E: No, it's not. I don't remember it. I'll put it down below this.E: Why are you asking me to answer questions that you don't have an answer to? She's setting me up for failure.E: I think the one I picked was, like, super, like, pretentious, like...I think it was like, like, Storm. Like, Stormnight, or something...E: What Jace last name? M: You're wearing a Morgenstern ring. But I'm gonna go with Wayland.E: See, the thing is I call Jace \"Jace Wayland,\" like, everyone's like, \"Oh, Jace Herondale,\" I still call him Jace Wayland. M: Wayland?E: But I think...that's not right. M: That's not right? Fuck!E: I'd probably go with Emma Herondale. I like the sound of that. M: Doesn't that character already exist?E: That's Emma Carstairs. Close enough, close enough. No, but let's see, that's another one you got wrong.E: This was your idea and you're doing pretty badly. M: I got two. I set my sights for one. I already won.E: Okay, um, who is your favorite actor in the movie? But we're gonna change it to TV show because my favorite actor in the movie is pretty obvious.M: Mmmm, what's his name? Asian dancer, what's his name? E: Harry Shum Jr? M: Harry Shum Jr!E: No. M: Mmmm... E: It's Dominic Sherwood.M: You...She said he wasn't golden enough, that's cheating! E: Nobody will ever be golden enough.M: She...I'm gonna bring up our Twitter conversation. I'm gonna post it in the comments of this. She said he wasn't golden enough and her feelings were torn.E: I'm pretty sure it wasn't about him. Maybe it was about him, I don't remember. But now, now I'm like, super, like, Team Dominic Sherwood.E: I still like to Jamie Campbell Bower better, but... M: What sound can we have when I get the question wrong?E: What? M: Can it be, like, \"fuck you?\" E: *laughs*E: Who is my favorite actress in the TV show? M: Kat Mcnamara.E: There we go. That was a good one. I mean, I just bought a wig that looks exactly like her hair, so I think it's pretty, pretty obvious.E: Would you rather - would I rather hear Jace play the piano, play video games with Simon - M: Jace playing the piano.E: Yeah, I don't even have to finish that. *laughs* Oh, I would melt into, like, a million different... M: That sounds like a personal problem that you should see a doctor for.E: If you could have one rune from the book, what would it be? M: You? E: Me. M: That one.E: There we go. Isn't that a good one, the one that's already on my arm. M: I'm getting so many right!E: I can't... M: It's a real tattoo. She-she's too cool for me. E: I can't show it. Is this the proper way to show it, because I don't think it's working.M: Are you trying to show off your butt? E: No. M: Emma.E: What Downworlder would I most likely be? Let's do both.E: Let's do what you think I would be, and then what you think I should be, if there's a difference. Is there a difference?E: There's the fae, there's vampires, there's werewolf, or warlock... M: Can I pick all of them? You've got, like, a bit of all of them.M: She's got, like, werewolf eyes. 'Cuz, like, the pale blue eyes, and, like, the huskies always have pale blue eyes.E: Someone compared me to a husky at work yesterday and I didn't know whether to be offended or... M: The eyes. E: ...to treat it as a compliment.M: Were they calling you a husky? That's terrible.E: So why am I a warlock? M: I don't pick warlock. E: So you pick everyone except warlock.M: You're a fae 'cuz you're kinda magical. Um. Oh. E: Aw! Hey.M: And you've also got, like, pale skin, so you're also a vampire. E: Thanks.M: She - but she would probably pick...Which one could Jace most likely get with? E: *laughs*M: It's illegal to get with all of them. E: This is...No. Not in Shadowhunter world. You can, it's just frowned upon.E: I thought that was a plot hole... M: I feel like you'd most want to be a fae because they get, like, freaky and do cool stuff.E: I don't... You know, now that you're saying that, I kinda probably would want to be a fey.M: 'Cuz you could do magic and, like, fuck with people... E: 'Cuz I'm also immortal... M: ...but you could also, like, drink this wine.E: Exactly! That sounds like something I would do. Yeah. So I'm going to go with fey. M: Yeah. I get 10 points 'cuz I changed her answer!E: TMI or TID? M: TMI. E: There we go. It took me a second. I was like, too much information?E: It took you a second? M,E: *try to badly pronounce TMI* M: I had to translate that in my brain.E: I gave, if this puts it in perspective for you...I gave The Mortal Instruments all five stars and I've done that on Goodreads seven times,E: and then the one time I read The Infernal Devices, I gave them all, like, two and one stars.M: Why? E: Because Jace wasn't in them! M: But they were good!E: I have to reread them, like I really need to reread TID. I really need to reread it. M: I really like them. *whispers* Better.E: What is my most hated character in the series? Be careful with this one, 'cuz I like very hate-able characters.M: You like Sebastian, and he's the most hated character. E: True, true.M: The little girl who kidnapped Simon in book five. E: I do hate Maureen. I do hate her a lot.M: Or Lily, in... E: Lily is so irrelevant, she doesn't even deserve my hate.M: Do you hate someone because they're bad or just 'cuz? E: I hate them just because.M: Oh, that changes the question. Um... E: Well, I mean, I like Sebastian.M: Alex. E: No. You mean Alec? M: I said Alex.E: It's Maia. M: That was my second...I swear to God, I was gonna say that next!E: Yeah, you said that last time about the quote. M: As you were saying that, I was thinking, \"It's Maia, it's Maia.\"E: I don't know how anybody likes Maia at this point. If you don't hate her by City of Heavenly Fire, there's something wrong with you, let's be real.M: Yeah, you should see a doctor.E: Spend a day with any character, who would it be? M: Um, I'm going to go with, um, Jace.E: Didn't I tell you that half of the questions, the answer would be Jace? M: You're making this really...This is really easy. E: This is really easy.M: I think I got an A on this. I think I got an A. E: Why did you...You think you got an A with all the questions you got wrong?E: My favorite book of the series. M: It's either the first one or the last one. E: Well, you gotta pick one.M: Maybe it's the third one. 'Cuz the third one, like, wrapped it up in such a pretty bow. But they did it in the last one. In a demon cave.M: And he had a condom in a demon cave, safe sex - E: There's an extended - M: I'm getting so inappropriate again!M: I wanna say book six, but I'm gonna say book one, but that's what introduced you to all...let me explain.M: 'Cuz it introduced you to all the, like, the entire world, and Jace would not exist if book one did not exist, so I'm gonna go with book one.E: Book six. M: Fuck, bitches, my money!E: No, book one is my second favorite. M: See, but I did say book six. E: But it is at reason, it is at reason, that, like, it introduced me to the world. That's my second favorite.E: But nothing can beat City of Heavenly Fire. You don't even get to high-five yourself. M: I high-fived myself.Emma: Um, the next question is, the worst cliffhanger?M: One book ends with them being brother and si- they think they're brother and sister. And it's not the fact that they were really...spoiler, spoiler?E: No. Everyone on my channel has read The Mortal Instruments. M: Okay. So one of the books ends with them thinking they're brother and sister.M: I think it's this one. This one ends happy, this one ends happy. Process of deduction: this one doesn't have anything because Simon killed that demon bitch.M: There's these three left. They're not together in these though, because he's on fire and she can't touch him. E: *laughs*M: I'm gonna go with City of Ashes-Fallen Angels-City of Lost Souls. E: No, that's not how it works. M: It's one of those three though!M: But I'm gonna say City of Lost Souls, because you had to - that's one book you had to wait for. E: Okay, but it's not City of Lost Souls. M: Mmm...E: Okay, first of all, you mixed up the series so much. This is the one where we think they're brother and sister at the end.M: But they kiss and stuff. E: Yeah, but at the very end they think that they're brother and sister. M: Yeah, it's not that one.E: In City of Fallen Angels, I don't want to explain that one going in but anyways, um... M: Spoiler alert!E: Jace went missing with Sebastian. How do you think I felt? M: But she's with them, like the entire time!E: I mean, they're not in City of Lost Souls! M: I...you're... E: At the end of City of Fallen Angels, Clary goes back up to see Jace and he's not there, Sebastian's gone.E: That's the worst cliffhanger of the entire series, I think.M: Stay away from that cliff. E: Or, maybe the times when Jace, like, nearly dies twice.E: It's one of those two. But it's not in either the books that you picked. M: I didn't get it at all. Can you subtract a point from that?E: Oh. Favorite scene ever. M: The sex scene. E: There we go!E: You got that right. That was like, that should have been, like, before I even read that scene, you should have known that that would be my favorite scene.E: Jem or Will? M: Jace wasn't one of those options. That stopped me for a second. E: *laughs*E: This should be an easy one too. M: I believe you hate Will because he's not Jem...Jace. You hate Will because he's not Jace.E: Is your answer Will? M: So I'm gonna go with...No, you said Jem...Jem or Will, it doesn't say what, though.E: No, but... M: Hate more or like more? E: I...Which one do I prefer?M: Well, you hate Will because, he's like, wannabe Jace, so I'm gonna go with Jem. You are setting me up for failure so much!E: If you could say one thing to Cassie, what would you say? I have already spoken to Cassie. M: Have my babies. Oh. They're both... E: Close second.M: Jace. It has to be something to do with Jace! E: Pretty much. Just stuff about Jace.E: I'll give you that point, because if I, like, actually got the chance to sit down and, like, actually talk with her,E: it would...most of the conversation would contain Jace. So I'll give you that point.E: Final question. M: Dun dun dun... E: This one's really easy, because you know this... M: Is the answer Jace again?E: No, this is not Jace, actually. M: Oh. I was gonna say, aw, come on, that's not an ending.E: Um, if you could play one character in the show, who would it be? M: Isabelle Lightwood!E: There we go. 'Cuz you tell me I should be Isabelle Lightwood all the time. Yeah, look at this, I got... *laughs*E: I got the bracelet, I got the necklace. M: There's your necklace. Right here. E: No, this is the necklace, this is the necklace.E: That's Jace's stele, but almost. M: That's Jace's? E: Yeah. M: Why can't it be Isabelle's? E: Because it's Jace's.E: Lemme see how many you got right M: Fuck, we weren't checking. E: No, we're gonna count it now.M: While she counts, I'll entertain you with interpretive dance. E: I lost count but you got the majority. Michael Booklion wins!E: So that is the Mortal Instruments Tag, but with Michael Booklion's answers, and he's mimicking me which is not okay.E: But that is it for this video. We have also filmed a video that is also going on Mike's channel and I will link that below. Can you not?E: His video will be in the link below and it's so hard to talk - M: *interrupts* Pattycake, pattycake. You did that, so I'm sorry. I clap loud too.E: His video will be in the link below...his video will be linked below! Um, but that is it for this video and I'll see you guys soon for a new one. Bye!\n"
