Magnus Bane..........

I have always loved Dr. McDreamy from Grey's Anatomy and fantasised about him regularly. I have always loved Grey's Anatomy too (Seriously, I have a Grey's clock). Lately however Dr. McDreamy has taken a backseat, and not only because he is no longer in Grey's. I have come to love another character, a character just as if not more dreamy than Dr. McDreamy himself. Who am I talking about you ask? Who am I fantasy cheating on with Dr. McDreamy? Magnus Bane, of course.

Magnus Bane is a character in the Netflix show Shadowhunters. I came across it after signing up for Netflix a few months ago. It is based on one of my favourite book series, The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare. I had been reading the books for years (Seriously, so worth the read), so I was familiar with the character of Magnus Bane. Magnus is a warlock and a wonderfully funny one at that (I suppose being immortal you need a sense of humour), he was one of my favourite characters in the book because of his wonderful one liners but, well, the actor who plays Magnus is HOT!!!

Harry Shum Jr plays Magnus Bane, he was also in Glee but he was more of a background character. Magnus smells like sandalwood according to the books, a smell which I love and is a funny and charming character. He has everything I need in a fantasy man and Tuesday nights were the nights I watched Shadowhunters and would drool over watch Magnus Bane. I would be incredibly happy when he took his shirt off and wished he would do it more.

This post was originally just going to be full of gushing compliments to Magnus Bane, he really does deserve them but then it got me to thinking about fantasy men and women in general. Everyone I know has at least one fantasy man or woman, quite often several. Mine have been, in no particular order, Magnus Bane, Dr. McDreamy, Channing Tatum and Vin Diesel. Many women I know have also had multiple fantasy men. In my friendship group, fantasy men and women seem to be celebrities so there is no fear of the person leaving their spouse for their fantasy man/woman. Out of curiosity I asked my partner what he would do if Magnus Bane was here and we were in the throes of some amorous activity (yes, we quite often have conversations like this). He looked at me and said well, there would be no more Magnus Bane.

I am not worried about Magnus Bane after my partner said this for quite obvious reasons: I don't live in the US where he is so I am never going to walk past him on the street, Magnus Bane is a fictional character and lastly, I love my partner so amorous activities will happen with no-one but him.

The season 2 finale of Shadowhunters was last Tuesday so now I will be watching re-runs of the show until the new season starts next year. Now if only Magnus Bane were real and here...............
