Shadowhunter Saturday #MyParabatai

One of the strongest bonds we've seen in the Shadowhunter world is the connection between parabatai, a pair of Nephilim warriors who fight together and are closer than siblings. We've watched as parabatai like Jace/Alec and Will/Jem share the ups and downs of demon hunting together. Through it all, the share a very close bond that most of us would love to have. So, we thought it would be fun to talk about our real life parabatai. If you have one you want to share about or if you need a parabatai, then you can join us at 11 am EST on Saturday, Dec 1 as we tweet the following:

#MyParabatai Join the ladies from @TMI_Institute and our blogger friends @TMI_Source, @MundieMoms, @TMISpanishNews and @TMIExaminer to help us trend this!

On the premiere experience:"Not really. It's so surreal actually. It's like the most wackiest St Patrick's Day parade in the world."

On his relationship with costar Dean O'Gorman: "There's a bit of a bromance but we're quite proud of that."

If the experience was strange: "The whole thing was strange. Killing trolls and giant spiders is quite strange. That's how the general day goes."

On learning to walk like a dwarf: "One of the more embarrassing parts of the preparation for this. Walking around in the squat position. We never used any of the techniques so I don't know why we bothered doing it anyway."

Second Aidan Turne Interview.
