Wylan Van Eck At The Merchant Council Meetings

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.

Can we take a brief moment to talk about how PERFECT Maryse and Robert would have been in another universe?

They're such a common trope, people, and such a good one, but gone wrong.

Like, be fr, hot, gorgeous, smart, short-tempered, stubborn, I will kill u if u piss me off, traumatized gf, and I'm just a fictional adult, might be gay (bi), why's m bff so hot, quiet, traumatized as hell, let me stay in the shadows, twink bf?????

Also, can we talk about what a perfect mix Alec and Izzy came out to be? Like, black hair, blue eyes, got them looks from Maryse. Alec is like super introverted, which in my delulu head canon is a trait he got from Robert, together with the awkwardness and quietness (plus the poker face), which reminds Maryse of the young Robert she fell in love with (pulled that out of nowhere, don't question it).

And I just know Izzy's just a copy of young Maryse and you CANNOT convince me otherwise.

Anyways

Let's have a minute of silence for the potential that went down the drain with these two (or waywood and eliza/maryse)

De fiecare data când îl vad pe Ciolacu si îmi aduc aminte ca își salva pisica din copaci (era pe gard?????) si se presupune ca e preferatul la guvern împreuna cu Mickey Mouse (Ponta) îmi vine așa un chef sa îmi smulg tot părul de pe cap de "bucurie" 🎀😘

Cum mai arunc o privire pe statisticile curente ale votului, cum îmi vine să plâng și mai tare😍

Felt cute might fall back into my geek era, and might reread every dune book and every LOTR book. If my blog turns into a wave of random sci-fi and fantasy obsession, don't mind me, this is my most primal era. Some people kill, I get mysterious and obsessive and base my personality on having actually read good books and not coho.

You know you're blocked when you start eyeing the pàlinka and țuică on your mom's shelf because you don't know how to continue the plot because you just wanna get to that one scene you imagined two weeks ago.

Damn. I love not having any exams apart from the silly little tests about two random things we did once in the last 10 minutes and just being able to waste my evening and afternoons trying to finish a book that I don't want to finish writing because that would mean staring the second and making my girl evil 😭

(it makes me sooooooo happy...)

Was anybody going to tell me that Alec Lightwood is autistic or was I supposed to come to that conclusion while rereading the books five years later myself???
