You don’t even know what type of a celestial being I will turn into while reading Ty’s pov for the first time, you do not know

Count the hours count the days count the years I’ll spend in that place

It's the "you never tell me anything, you're just so cold to me!" person and then when you do tell them something they either:

1. Use it in an argument.

2. Tell everyone behind your back

Like...sir???? What sort of cheap 2 dollar FBI agent do you think u are?

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.

when Meliorn refuses to tell Alec where the Fair Folk are keeping the hostages, including Magnus, and it does not matter anyway because Meliorn is capable of lying, and Alec does not waver for a second; he simply says: "die, then, liar," and shoots an arrow through his chest. when Jace won't let anyone come along to Edom but Alec convinces him because "go without me, and you disrespect that this is my battle too."

and I think about Alec's image throughout the series as that of a protector, someone who supports at the sidelines but won't venture into the centre. he reserves that spot for Jace or Izzy, anyone else but himself. and he deserves credit for that in and of itself; it's an important place to be, one that is often overlooked: never quite in the spotlight, but always making sure to be looking directly at it.

but where Magnus is concernedー he absolutely steps the fuck up. Alec is unique in that he doesn't tolerate any bullshit, he doesn't prolong any conversations or fights; he won't listen to long self-serving monologues, won't deal with unnecessary theatrics, won't explain himself to stall time: he deals with things fast, cleanly, effectively. his arc is one of my favourites.

No, cause what do you mean I can't listen to Lana del Rey and read my otps and do nothing else other than just be a depressed fangirl all day long???? What sort of witchcraft is this??

Manifesting, Athena taking pity on me and making my brain work like it did last night at 23:00 throughout the exam.

Still Holding On, Thanks to You 💔🍉

Each day we wake up, not knowing what will come next. 25 family members lost, our home destroyed, our future uncertain.

But today, I remind myself—we’re still here. And thanks to the generosity of kind people, we’ve raised $1,580 so far.

It’s not enough to rebuild, but it’s a reminder that people still care. And that means everything.

💙 Please, if you can, help us take the next step. Even a share means the world to us.

Your kindness is a light in this darkness. Thank you. ❤️

The amount of hate Lucien Vanserra gets for being interested in getting to know the person his fucking omnipotent god decided was his perfect match is fucking wild to me.

Like yall want this man to be evil so bad and he's literally just trying to figure out who he is now that everything he thought he was is crumbling under his feet. He's literally coming through again and again for Feyre and her friends despite going through a goddamned identity crisis that's lasted like four books at this point. Yall want this man to be evil and he's only ever been described by literally everyone as "loyal" and "a good male" and "not evil". Yall want this man to be evil and he was willing to die/be tortured to protect Feyre ALONE at least three times.

But because this man was given a mate-something he's been raised his whole life to revere and dream about and want-and he is interested in *checks notes* getting to know her, he's now evil. He's now going to go against five books of character development and become a betrayer and/or unreasonably violent?

Like if you don't ship them that's absolutely fine. I think the concept of them not having romantic feelings and navigating the bond on a purely platonic sense is interesting (though I don't think it's gonna happen given Sarah J Maas' track record) and is something that could make for an interesting story but like......I'm sorry but bending backwards to try and paint Lucien as EVIL????

Have we read the same books?

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

Being a writer is hard, what do you mean I can write the most beautiful poetry and flawless texts marvelous enough to awe Brönte or Dostoyevsky at 3 am but then I can't speak a sentence without either cursing like a sailor or pulling the most vulgar metaphors. Who dared to curse me in such a torturous and medieval way, forcing me to speak like I was born in the lower years of the 2000's, which I indeed was (but that's not the point).

Izzy lightwood nation are yall up for a fanart

“what’s the point in wasting a perfectly good brick wall when you have someone to throw against it, that’s what I always say” lmaooo Isabelle

It's the “ugh, men” and then I drastically fall for every boy with pretty eyes that looks like he reads Greek mythology and has a pretty accent. Like... wtf girl?! Where are my standards? Oh yeah, in hell, where I left them last time I liked a guy.

cannot wait to see this fandom spring back to life once twp releases.

Female rage is knowing that Maria Anna (Nannerl) Mozart was even more talented than Mozart himself and was considered the most skilled artist in all Europe. Then she faded into oblivion once she turned 18 because she was no longer allowed to play for the public and became her brother's shadow.

I feel like 90% of criticism of Chappell Roan is just misogyny and lesbophobia. Like please just say you don’t like pop music instead of making a 20 page rant about how she shouldn’t be allowed to express herself and her lesbianism/queerness because she makes music you personally don’t like.

I don’t even like pop music but I can still appreciate how her music is a form of lesbian/queer art.

Making a post about how you think a lesbian women’s art is boring and uncreative isn’t a hot revolutionary take. It’s the same misogynistic/lesbophobic bullshit people have been saying about lesbian art for the past couple hundred years.

Her outfit was stuck in my head all day

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 genuinely and firmly believe that fangirling over Malec, Solangelo and Percabeth should absolutely be at the top of anyone's priorities list. Do I have an exam next week?... Well...yeah. But exams don't make me happy and books do. It's as logic as 2+2 being 5, Liv said it herself.

it’s vital that elon musk die in the next 4 months

“She read paperbacks too, one after the next like she was chain-smoking—romance, science fiction, old pulp fantasy. All she wanted to do was sit, unbothered in a circle of lamplight, and live someone else’s life.”

"The days go by but the sheer pain in me never subsides."

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

Absolutely nothing beats Valentine's parenting strategy of "this is my good son who I keep in the house and my evil son who I keep in the shed. They're both named Jonathan"

alec being teenage mom with two kids before ever having a ring on, izzy marrying indie boy band nerd, jace is jace, the lightwood siblings are the biggest proof why you shouldn't let your ex cultist coworker babysit your kids

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

Cassandra Clare LOVES the grew-up-too-soon x babied-all-their-life trope

Clary was sheltered up until the events of TCOB meanwhile Jace was getting raised by Valentine

Kit was forced to grow up quickly while Ty was babied by Julian and his family

Sophie was cast out onto the streets while Gideon had a fairly nice upbringing (besides his dad turning into a worm but let's face it he deserved it)

Lucie was raised as the daughter of one of the wealthiest Shadowhunter families while Jesse literally died as a kid

And do I even need to explain Thomas and Alastair...
