Some People Think Writers Are So Eloquent And Good With Words, But The Reality Is That We Can Sit There

The outfits. His sassy stance. Her looking at him as if he has gone crazy?

You honor, they will be the couple

THE WAY I DIED.

Did Michael really like Maryse, maybe as a friend? Or was it part of the charade? HOW ON EARTH CAN ROBERT BE SO BLIND????

Talking to my mom feels like a constant “justify your answer” in an exam. That's it. That's the post.

Today I found myself reading TMI again after being done with studying (ugh, whoever invented exams can burn in hell) and I feel like I keep running out of ways to explain how incredibly copy pasted and close I feel to Alec. Like, yes sure, I love Izzy with every inch of my soul and don't I wish I was like her and Magnus is just such a me vibe in my best days. But Alec has always been my focal point every single time I read Cassandra Clare, and every time I expect to find myself being like "oh shut up" like I often find myself doing when Jace talks, even Clary sometimes, but I just don't.

I find it so unbelievable how the first time I read City of Bones I was around three years younger than Alec in that book and I just couldn't help but think "He's real". Because miss m'am Izzy was killing demons in high heels at sixteen and Jace probably had more girlfriends than I have hair on my head and there was Alec. Trying to beat sense into them, being discarded by Jace the moment Clary came into view. His only friends being his own sister who was his complete opposite and his parabatai who way too foused on being cool than on his own struggles, him trying to hide himself from the Clave out of pure fear that they would exile him and just abandon him in a world full of demons as a mundane like they did to his uncle.

He was the secondary character. The fifth wheel of the cart, as we say in my family. And I could relate to that, because being on the outside and looking on the inside, being aware that you're not enough is something that i've found myself doing all my life ever since I was a toddler. Not too fun. Not too cool. Not too smart. You're just in the middle of it all. Never enough to stand out. Just a blank paper. And I just felt this ache in my heart when I finished that book years ago and I still feel it every time and this boiling rage knowing that this man stood bravely against it all. The fact that he played such an important role in the war, almost as important as Jace and he was still seen as "Jace's parabatai", when this man genuinely changed the law and rebuild every belief of the Clave to make it more humane.

There's just enough words in the dictionary to how many levels I love Alec and to how many levels I am grateful to Cassie for writing him, because who would I violently and brutally relate to if it wasn't Alexander Gideon Lightwood, the Inquisitor of the Clave and the man who loved a man so much he changed the world for him and Magnus's archer boy.

alec and clary's friendship has truly come a long way considering that it started by alec insisting a demon committed suicide just to deny the fact that clary killed it

I love when Simon tells jace that he treats Alec like a lap dog. because it’s honestly the truth. Jace expects Alec to drop everything and help him. he doesn’t care about Alec and Izzy who have been his family and friends for years. it’s all clary clary clary. Jace doesn’t even think about how this affects Alec or cares that his family is in trouble for all the unapproved missions on behalf of clary.

no wonder Alec doesn’t trust her. she comes out of nowhere, demanding this and that as if she owns the place. running missions that could get everyone killed. doesn’t understand that the mortal cup literally affects everyone, not just her.

Jace literally throws Alec to the side all for a girl he met five seconds ago because “they’re meant to be together”. Alec deserved so much better than what jace gave him. Jace really expected Alec to not have any feelings and do whatever he wanted him to do. it’s probable proof when he says “Alec will be here.”

they should’ve let that greater demon have jace lmao

why is back sleeping so difficult and uncomfortable when it's supposedly the only way to sleep that doesn't slowly implode all of your bones. the human body seeks its own ruin with the fervor of a cordyceps ant

I don’t think any shadowhunter character will ever truly haunt the narrative the way Sebastian does
