I Am Pointing And Laughing At Anyone Who Says Cassie Doesn't Like Jem

everyone dumping secrets on tiktok has inspired me so here's my tsc confession:

i didn't give a shit when jordan died

TID REREAD COMPLETED

inquisitor bridgestock die painfully challenge

JAMES FUCKING TELL SOMEONE

friendly reminder that clary genuinely thought jace was going to off himself in chapter sixteen.

my clary fairchild brainrot makes me want to see paladin clary after tlh

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

and if i said smash gang orca
