We all need a favorite...

For those of you who haven’t been reading my blog since the beginning, I feel the need at this point to remind you how I got here. Here, as in on Twitter as a Shadowhunters junkie.

Let me recap briefly.

For season one of Shadowhunters, I didn’t watch it when it aired because a) I don’t have cable and b) I was busy working on my thesis. I, in fact, don’t watch much live tv unless it is the local news, which I stream from their website. I didn’t realize, until recently, that actors use tools like Instagram and Twitter to engage their audience. My fascination of this concept, for a myriad of reason, led me to follow the cast of Shadowhunters, and their fans on Twitter (and other social media sites).

There, you’ve been caught up.

So, the thing is, I felt like a needed a favorite actor/actress on the show. It’s important because I feel like people on Twitter get associated for particular posts or feeds. It also just helps me, as a follower, focus on what I want my Twitter feed to represent. There are just so many cast members that I can’t post about all of them.
I do have a day job.

Although, truthfully, if I like something, I’ll click the heart or comment or retweet.
I’m not afraid to spread the love.
But I also want to have that experience of focusing an obsession. I think there’s something unique about that experience. 

But who do I choose?

It was really hard, because I love them all. I mean, Dominic Sherwood wins on accent alone.
Yes, I am a fool for an English accent.

He was also in a T. Swift video. Let me just leave that here for you.

This is a judgement free zone kids.

Matthew Daddario would be fun to follow. He puts on a great live video. He’s also super popular with the fans overall. Okay, and he has nice eyes. My cousin Fawn would say “he’s easy on the eyes.”
That he is Fawn, that he is.

Katherine McNamara is incredibly smart and just amazing. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration when she was 17.  She’s also working on a Master’s degree in Applied Economics.
She’s a great female role model for fans.

Emeraude… Alberto… Isaiah “Meme King” Mustafa.. Jade. The list goes on.

It doesn't hurt that they all get along so well. The behind the scenes videos are hilarious. 

I want to work with the Shadowhunters cast. 

I'm sure I'm not the only one and I would have to leave my day job.

Oddly enough, I think some people would be upset about that.

I mean, just watch them play Werewolf.

I didn't EVEN KNOW about this game until I watched this video.

My life is more complete now.

The all have their own amazing qualities that I love and enjoy.
I don’t want you thinking that I’ve dropped them like a sack of hot potatoes.

I also maybe want you to suffer a bit before I tell you who I decided on to focus on.

Partially because I want you to understand how this was a process and I didn’t just wake up one day and decide – hey, I’m going to like….. .
But maybe also because I’m twisted that way.

In the end, I decided that Harry Shum Jr. was my favorite.
I know, statistically, he’s the most popular anyway, but I CAN’T HELP IT.
In fact, I can’t even explain it in a sentence or two because there were a number of things that happened to elevate Harry to favorite status.

No. I'm not going to tell you right now.

That would be cheating. You'll have to look for them in future posts.

Sorry, not sorry.
