I Used To Separate Them Distinctly In My Mind But This Reread Is Making Me Kind Of Unable To Do That..

as a general rule i dickride for the fairchild family

if matthew fairchild has no defenders i am DEAD

thomas and alastair are kinda cute tho...

god anna lightwood please let me into your bedroom next

sad that he had a rough go of it but i still want to punch him in the balls.

sorry but he admitted to actively choosing to be the absolute worse type of monstrous bully at the academy and i'm not fucking with that

before i read tlh for the first time i read cast long shadows and every exquisite thing and i have one thing to say:

FUCK ALASTAIR

if that man has no haters i'm a corpse idc idc idc. he will never redeem himself to me.

i could bring up the misogyny in calling cassie the incest author when grrm gets nothing but praise for the most incest riddled books i have ever seen but i don't think people who can't even grasp that cassie is using it as a literary tool are ready to hear that

rereading clockwork angel as a part of a massive tsc reread and i don't know how i never noticed the body horror elements cassie included in regards to tessa's abilities

"if i smile then they'll die?" my sweet little dumb dumb

i'm aware fandom has always been filled with intense arguments and was never a happy fluffy paradise, but there was etiquette that just feels like it has disappeared. people have really abandoned those unspoken rules of fandom in favour of petty drama and it's extremely frustrating.

if you want some silly drama read a ku erotica book or watch a soap opera. why would you actively engage in fandom content just to make people angry? the worst part is they tag wrong on purpose because it's not about loving x inflammatory ship or x inflammatory character, it's just about pissing people off.

and it's deeply obvious who does this because they may think they're being subtle but there is a frankly embarrassing amount of "oh i don't care about your opinion! look how much i don't care! (but i'm gonna refresh my blog every ten seconds until i see an angry comment or reblog)" energy coming from these posts.

not to sound like an old fart, but i miss the old days where the biggest drama in fandoms were ship wars that were frankly easy to avoid by blocking tags and wether or not pidge from voltron was trans.

the way people boil down the incest plot lines in tmi to pure cringy nastiness is one of my biggest pet peeves.

the "you're my sister" scene is actually heartbreaking because it's coming from an abused sixteen year old who's abuser saw him finding strength and self worth in love, said "absolutely not", and proceeded to make him feel a level of self loathing so profound he thought he was demonic.

it's supposed to be uncomfortable to read because it's a tragic form of abuse inflicted on both jace and clary and to boil it down to "oh well it was incest fic and i hope cc doesn't have brothers and blah blah blah" just tells me you lack the ability to think critically about the series or just missed the entire point.

Hey y’all! Myself and my friend noticed there was a big hole in the TSC fandom - namely, that there isn’t a Discord server for us all to come together and appreciate/freak out over our favourite Shadowhunters.

So we decided to fix it! Here is your official notice of the creation of The Downworld, a place for us to talk theories, go crazy over our beloved ships, worship those characters that maybe don’t get enough love fandom-wide, and of course, appreciate the absolute genius that is Cassandra Clare.

All we ask is that you be kind and respectful to each other, and agree to our server rules that’ll you see when you join. The server is also 18+ only, so unfortunately we won’t be able to allow minors to join.

If you’d be interested in joining, please feel free to reach out to me or @timesconvert and we’ll get the ball rolling - don’t be scared; unlike Jordan, we don’t bite!
