are we gonna talk about how grace would be the most hated tsc character if her and james did a gender swap or....
let's take a moment for lucie herondale though. she's such a bad bitch and she's a fellow writer
i'll hate jocelyn until the day i die
cassandra is swear to go he better die the world's most golden prune
so. our golden boy (man? since golden boy may as well be kit now... or matt). anyway, i just wanted to make a post to show jace herondale some love because i don’t see it nearly enough and he deserves it.
he deserves it because of how much he has grown, how well he has learnt to love and be loved, how much he cares about others, how much he has sacrificed.
specially, he deserves it because of how much he has lost and because of all the reasons he had to give up and go wrong.
he didn’t. he fought. hard. for himself and everyone else.
i just wish him happiness and love. i want him to grown old with clary, i want them to have their little family, i want him to be by alec’s side until they’re both old and gray, i want him to keep being a great brother to izzy, i want him to keep being a good friend to simon (and i want their bickering to never stop) and i want him to be an awesome friend to magnus too (even if he keeps denying it). i want him to be there for kit, for emma, for the newest additions to their family.
most of all, i want him to become the man he wants and can be. i want him to be proud of himself. i want him to stop, take a deep breath and think “ah, this is why is worthy. this is why i’m alive”.
i want him to be utterly happy and surrounded by everyone he loves.
i'm relatively new to the anime space. my good friend got me into it when we met and is slowly introducing me to more and more series, but i have to say attack on titan is by far the best.
i could go on for hours about the writing and all of the ways it's so masterful in it's storytelling, but i actually started writing this intending to talk about eren so...
i haven't really engaged in the fandom much on account of avoiding it until the dub for the final episode came out, but i've been able to gather that eren is pretty polarizing as a character. and i have to say: i fucking adore him.
he's so devastating as a character that i just can't hate him. thinking about the way he embodies the central theme of the story so well makes me absolutely feral.
i know there's some people who just can't see past the rumbling, and i honestly understand that. but i just can't not see him as a traumatized child radicalized by the world he grew up in who got his hands on power. i think he said it best in the finale when he said he was just some idiot who got his hands on some power.
i didn't really have a point with this... i just fucking love eren jaeger so much.
post chain of iron moodboard...
I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS
no let's talk about that last part some more.
james herondale's mind has not been his own since he was a child. he has had his consent and body violated and manipulated for decades.
cassie did such a good job portraying his anger, grief, loss, and pain. i'm glad he didn't hold back, because grace needed to hear straight from her victim the impact she had.
very little has ever been so simultaneously arousing, satisfying, and fucking heartbreaking as the scene of james ripping into grace. i waited and was RICHLY rewarded
"father is a worm" is probably one of my favourite scenes of all time
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
