Shadowhunters

Shadowhunters are humans who protect and govern the mundanes and downworlders in Cassandra Clare's The Mortal Instruments and Infernal Devices.

Shadowhunters are humans who are born with the blood of the Angel Raziel. They 'control' the shadow world and those who live in it e.g. downworlders (warlocks, fairies, vampires, werewolves)and demons. Their mandate is to keep the peace in the Shadow World and keep it hidden from the mundane world while protecting the inhabitants of both worlds.

Shadowhunters despite having the blood of the Angel, are mortal and therefore vulnerable to old age and death; however, their angelic blood gives them special abilities (that mundanes do not posses)that allow them to slay demons and have somewhat special powers through runes.

"We are sometimes called the Nephilim. In the Bible they were the offspring of humans and angels."
–Hodge Starkweather

Shadow flippin’

The lit AF practice of signing a contract to purchase a crib and then reselling – or assigning — that contract for more commas before the sale closes. This can happen multiple times in one deal, earning multiple points for the realtor, who in some cases may also be one of the interim buyers. Shadow flippin’ is more common in overheated real estate markets such as Vancouver, Canada.

Marsha made some major coin shadow flippin’ a crib she originally copped for $2-milly but quickly sold for $2.5-million.

shadowfan12507

Use this to describe someone who died to Boa Hancock in any game.

Person 1: How did shadowfan12507 die to Boa?
Person 2: Yeah it’s weird, he’s also really inconsistent in saying if he likes her or not.
Person 1: Who knows, maybe he died because he tried fighting her with one hand.
