went into the discord talking about not understanding why everyone was so devastated by this book at chapter 20.

i was immediately and violently checked.

tmi has objectively some of the best depictions of abuse in tsc. i would even argue better than tlh.

alice chen you are the icon of icons PLEASE don't give up

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!

this fandom's absolute refusal to extend any kind of grace to clary boils my blood.

guess what? she's a teenager who a) got attacked by a gross monster, b) has been introduced to a world full of said monsters and told she has to fight them, and c) her mom disappeared.

but no extending some grace and understanding for her situation is just too much of a stretch i guess.

i used to separate them distinctly in my mind but this reread is making me kind of unable to do that..

i gotta clarify first that i think sebastian needs to be punished for what he did. i don't think any of what i'm about to say absolves him of anything he's done.

that being said, i think sebastian was so tragically doomed by the narrative that he never had a choice but to make the choices he did. he never had a chance to be anything else because of valentine and jocelyn (although jocelyn to a far lesser extent than valentine). every step of his existence from conception to death is stripped of agency. every choice he makes is done in the shadows of valentine stripping away his humanity and mercilessly abusing him until he's a perfect weapon. and then the bastard has the nerve to be ashamed of what he created.

i just wish sebastian had gotten a fucking chance to be anything other than jocelyn's shame and valentine's weapon.

sebastian morgenstern is actually the best villain ever because he makes me a devastating combination of sad and angry
