RAHHHHHH BETTER IN BLACK SNIPPET

Love how every Matt Daddario girl is just posting his new pic on Tumblr. (i'm one of them)

and can we all agree that this man AGED LIKE THE FINEST OF WINES

sorry. I get hyped up.

I have never suffered more in my life, needles to say I now recommend it to all of my friends

I'm not kidding when I say that after finishing lord of shadows I had to punch the wall a couple of times, eventually got up and started pacing around my room, head in hands, then buckled up laughing in disbelief. had to check the book to verify did this actually happen.

Here's my head canons that literally nobody asked for, but I don't care because I spent all of last summer thinking nobody was invested in the circle and I have pent-up fangirl energy 😌:

Robert is a fictional adult who needs some love: Is he one of the oldest? Yeah. But since he got abused by his dad and he felt like a disappointment for not being able to bear the runes (allergy) he's an insecure little bun, k? K. Also Maryse absolutely understands that, and although she's like super cold and icy and murderous she has a big heart (she's a silver girl, k?) and is always there for him at his lowest. Also, screw Shadowhunters and their smooth skin. Him and Alec? SCARS. That's it. Scars, actually, scars on all Shadowhunters, and also on Maryse, one that runs from the bottom of her ear, down her neck to her collarbone. How? (she's a Shadowhunter, ppl)

Maryse's mom was TRASH, and she has a fear of commitment: Why do I say that? IDK. I like characters with family issues (y'know Robert's got it w his dad, she as it w her mom). AND. She felt alone, which is how Valentine got to her. She was really close to her brother, and him getting stripped of his runes and exiled left her alone with parents that didn't care for her and too many close friends because of her cold (sarcastic queen) attitude. At the end of the day, she felt abandoned and, leaving her with a fear of getting close to anybody because they might leave her as well.

Miss ma'am passed her absolute need to perfect to Alec: If you've read TMI it's hard for people to not know that Alec is definitely the fake it til you make it, wake in the same shoes until you bleed and work on it until it glistens. So while I do firmly believe that he got some of Robert's personality, he did get his loyalty and bravery? From Maryse, all together with the constant urge of being perfect, which she got from her parents' constantly pushing her to be perfect and her need to prove the man in the academy that she deserved her place there.

Maryse and Robert might have been in love, they might not have known what that was: They both come from pretty toxic families where love was ehm...not a thing? So when they met, it was obvious that all these intense feelings of "I would kill for you" would get confused (maybe) for love. I do still that they fiercely loved each other like one loves its first partner. Deeply ad burning, that in their hearts, they were each other's other half. But I do also think that them insisting on staying when that love melted into pure raw platonic love (care? Do remember Maryse cried at his funeral and Michael's ghost touched her shoulder). Which brings me to my next point.

Michael and Maryse: Friends. That's it. The typical gay and bi power friendship.

Celine/ Maryse/ Michael: Trio of friends. Izzy/Jace/Alec but a cultist version of it.

Waywood?: Real. Maryse's relationship w Robert had faded into a pure friendship which lead to him realizing that he was in love w Michael (whether he acted on it or not, that idk)

Eliza and Maryse?: A thing. Hell yeah, she did act on it, which leads me to the belief that Maryse did know that Robert was in love with Michael and that he knew that she was in love with Eliza. Think of it, a lavender marriage out of fear of being stripped of their runes by the clave.

Guys! Omg!! I found MY VIKTOR please WALK WITH ME WHEN I SAID

Matthew Daddario as Jayce

Jem and his underrated humour

“and the sun has come up in the east” he was so funny without even trying

Slowly poisoning my friends into reading all of Shadowhunters. One down. Next step is them shipping everyone with absolutely everyone except for Malec

When the boys in my class insist that communism wasn't that bad, so I have to hold back the urge to pull out my country's news so they can watch it relapse back into communism barely 35 years after defeating it. How people's rights are stripped away, how the government tries to silence them. How the beginning of the revolution looks like, how the anger of a nation looks. So they can see the horrors of watching the police side with who puts money in their pockets, and how the good are painted as bad and the bad as good. But that would be too political for class, and I'd get kicked out, so I just have to sit and hold back the words stuck in my throat and look at them with disgust being fully aware that their east european ass would rather close it's eyes at the pain of another country.

wanna know what stuck with me more than janus wanting clary back? the fact that he wanted alec just as much. in every universe, doesn't matter if he's the good hearted jace we know or if he's dark or if he's evil, his heart knows alec is his parabatai. we should talk more about these two

History is just such an amazing thing, it just helps you get closer to your own history and culture and how your land evolved...and how America really hasn't grown too much since the XVII century.

wants to write malec fanfic while simultaneously not wanting to touch an already perfect couple for fear of tainting cassandra clare’s masterpiece
