Just Realized I Never Updated This Thrilling Saga:

Oh jocelyn and the memory thing. I hadnt really thought it through before but she quite literally did not have to do that like the lost herondales managed all right for generations and they had people actively hunting them down for half the time. I also get icked out by how she treated baby Sebastian, like she could tell he was evil but he was still a baby who hadnt done anything yet.

THIS!!!

she stole clary's memories AND neglected johnathan which left him vulnerable to valentine. mother of the year 👏

i firmly believe if jocelyn took johnathan with her when she fled he would have grown up better. i mean look at that comic with johnathan and valentine. he's a CHILD who just wants to know where his mom is.

ALSO

can we talk about how, like all the circle members except maybe luke, jocelyn didn't actually care that valentine was spewing racist rhetoric against downworlders?

like yeah she acknowledges he was wrong, but let's be completely honest here: it became a problem for jocelyn when he began targeting the clave. targeting shadowhunters.

i will hate this woman until i die. she's a terrible person and parent and clary deserves better

it's gonna take a fuck of a lot to make me forgive grace after she literally just sexually assaulted matthew

objectively the funniest death in the series

"father is a worm" is probably one of my favourite scenes of all time

the fact that jem's capacity for love is so strong that he can't be a normal silent brother makes me want to kill myself actually

the way people boil down the incest plot lines in tmi to pure cringy nastiness is one of my biggest pet peeves.

the "you're my sister" scene is actually heartbreaking because it's coming from an abused sixteen year old who's abuser saw him finding strength and self worth in love, said "absolutely not", and proceeded to make him feel a level of self loathing so profound he thought he was demonic.

it's supposed to be uncomfortable to read because it's a tragic form of abuse inflicted on both jace and clary and to boil it down to "oh well it was incest fic and i hope cc doesn't have brothers and blah blah blah" just tells me you lack the ability to think critically about the series or just missed the entire point.

no thoughts just mirko

14 chapters in and we're back to my girlypop bree let's GO

to be clear this is not an invitation to shit on cordelia you leave my girl alone i'm just venting

nah sorry cordelia has been losing me for a while and like....

this is SO different and so much worse than the aline scene in cog.

like you are a a married woman. even if it is fake, there's a level of respect that banging his fucking parabatai absolutely betrays. you're supposedly so in love with him and know him so well yet you fully intended on, i repeat, fucking his parabatai.

i'm trying so hard to stay on the cordelia train and she is not making it easy. i keep telling myself she's fully under the impression he loves grace but it's still so hard 😭

every time david tennant and michael sheen interact i get a little boost of serotonin

if i see one more person take the boat scene, which is just another of the many scenes that slaps us in the face with the fact that jace is suicidal at this point in the series, and use it as a "that's straight?" thing for a jimon post i'm gonna pull out my hair.

i see it everywhere and it disgusts me.
