Today I Found Myself Reading TMI Again After Being Done With Studying (ugh, Whoever Invented Exams Can
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.

She's edgy as fuck. Like...uh...a neon green sneakers on a Versace dress. Anything u wanna say?
We get it, youāre edgy.
I was born on Halloween, so it's just part of my natureš
(I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, I seem to lack the edgy part of the human being system. I was built wrong)
noooooo, don't leave usssssss, I get you, he's really meh, defo not cassie's best character
gonna talk about the hunger games for the next 10,000 years so I gotta get this off my chest now. why are people in the shadowhunters fandom so rude when they find out I donāt like will herondale? itās a personal preference. itās not a personal attack against you. itās sad cause it makes me not want to interact with this fandom.
In conclusion, Izabelle Lightwood is perfect, and has done nothing wrong, ever.
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.

Just a writer who loves too many fandoms. But who can blame me? I'm a sucker for art, classic and for charachters with a bow that have as many issues as me, 'cause what is life if you don't have a hoard of suffering archers behind u? My main fandoms are TMI (the mortal instruments), TDA, TLH and any artwork created by my one and only Queen Cassie, LOTR, Dune, Percy Jackson, The Dragon Prince bcs I would die for Ruthari, Brooklyn 99, ACOTAR, Iron Flame, TVD, GG (xoxo), and any form of classics (Razumikhin's, Raskolnikov's and Holden's love child) and probably many more fandoms that I can't remember rn but will once I close this.All hail Lana del Rey, KoL, The Smiths, Fiona Apple , TV girl, Marina and all my underrated bby's who should be at the top.xoxo
