I Think Since The New York Kids Grew Up Around Only Their Parents And Tutor (all Being From Idris), Their

Okay but Jace and Simon’s friendship is literally so iconic?? They go from the enemies to awkward allies to begrudging friends. And then Simon loses his memory and you think that’s that but then he somehow gets it in his head that he and Jace are best bros and now they’re just hanging out and being buddies and hugging all the time?? It’s like their entire friendship is based on a misunderstanding but it’s totally not, we know they love each other but who knows how much longer it would have taken them to admit they love each other if amnesiac Simon didn’t just decide they were bffs all the sudden. Anyway I love their dynamic, unparalleled really

Maybe I’m just in a Sebastian mood (yuck) but what I find really interesting is that in the Clay’s edom dream when we see good Sebastian… he literally just acts like Simon.

I feel like this is a way to reference the fact Simon is the closest thing Clary will ever actually have to a brother (the only real reference she has to a healthy brother). He makes jokes like Simon, makes fun of Jace, says sarcastic jokes and likes Izzy!

I also think it’s interesting that the that snapped Clary out of Edom is the fact Simon didn’t exist!

There relationship is soo underrated but it means soooo much to me!

ALSO I cannot wait to possibly see the new academy in the BiB sizzy story

I know Simon helped set up the new academy so does that mean he has more of an administrative role or will he be a teacher? that would be so fun

OH and imagine Izzy as a training instructor

The way Simon is literally the only member of the TSC gang that deadass isn’t family. Bro just appeared.

simon lewis is his own pov is so funny because I was rereading the scene of him summoning Raziel and the way he's like "oh I don't know how introduce myself because I'm just Some Guy who has no titles or great deeds to his name :/" DUDE YOU KILLED LILITH?????????

do you ever think about how Simon gave up his most cherished memories to save people who didn't even like him? to save the relationship of someone who didn't really like him (yes, Alec Lightwood, I'm talking about you) or are you normal?

don't get me wrong, I love Alec (and Malec), and his development is one of my favorites, but I hardly doubt he would do the same for Simon if the roles were reversed. Simon knew that losing Magnus would destroy Alec, and that Alec being heartbroken would destroy Izzy, so he did what "was right" to save them. no one, except for Izzy, stopped to think what the effects doing that would have on Clary, or even Jocelyn or Luke, who had known Simon since forever.

anyway, sorry for my random (and pretty much unfinished - I got distracted) rambling

So I have the mental capacity to become an absolute expert in a random and mostly useless field of knowledge, to master a new skill I only found the existence of yesterday and is not beneficial to me whatsoever, yet when it comes to the maths activity I've had to do for the past three weeks, I suddenly have the attention span of a compressed and dessicated potato.

This band is so iconic.

"oh i really love xyz character-" really? outside the context of shipping?

Thoughts on the mundanes simon knew looking at simon post shadowhunters academy? His old friends, the tmi band? Someone outside of his old group?

i feel like eric, kirk, and matt would view the differences in a similar way to how they viewed his vampire glow up. less surprised and more impressed, and they would definitely use his tattoos and new musculature as fodder for their friendly banter lol but i also think they would have been teasing him about him coming back from the military academy all buff before he even left for it (and maybe make fun of him for going through two years of training and not becoming more buff than he does hehe lovingly and jokingly of course). tho the tattoos were definitely a badass surprise.

[insert side discussion about whether simon tells the band about being a shadowhunter despite the rules bc (a) he remembers their reaction to his downworlder status, (b) the origins of their band name, (c) the reality of them playing at the pandemonium club ...]

the thing is too, it's not just the physicality. i've said before that i don't think simon's thin frame would allow him to become properly buff, and i don't think that's the thing people will notice right away. they may attribute it to that, like the barista at java jones might do a double take when he sees simon walk in for the first time since returning to brooklyn, or some girls from st. agnes might gossip about it if they see him at a tmi show or in the neighborhood or something, but i really think the biggest difference comes in the way he holds himself. the confidence he's gained, the shit he's seen. hell i mean.. it's not just the shadowhunter academy that he's been through when he comes back, it's also all the fucked up shit that happened in fall of 2007 and the brutal death of his best friend. boy's been through it. and how can that not show? especially toward the beginning. when he's grappling with returned memories and grief. but he's also so much more sure of himself than he was before. he has solid girlfriend and when he talks to people, there's an air of authority or belonging that wasn't there before. the shadowhunter traits that make them so easy to pick out in a crowd.
