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.

I just see this on Facebok:

Kind reminder that Clary and Simon, two veterans and heroes of the Dark War, saviors of the world and favorite children of Raziel... They are Otakus!

Maia: Come on, I can see right through you. You are a mom pleaser - a level five mom pleaser! You will say anything to make that woman happy.

Simon: Alright, I used to be a mom pleaser, but I'm not anymore. I'm not gonna lie to feed into her dysfunction.

Maia: Who cares? Who cares what an old lady thinks about your life?

Simon: Not me! I'm a grown up!

Maia: ...Yes, and nothing sells that better than yelling, "I'm a grown up!"

My favourite piece of fan art ever.

Loving every version of him♥️

Jace: Simon is many things: Friend, confident, co-worker, occasional guest star in some confusing dreams that remind me a man’s sexuality is a moving target…

Name a more iconic duo than a twink

And a redhead!!

Like at first he'd be scared but after a while he'd just be really chilled about it, and the kidnappers would get so annoyed.

Kidnapper: If your friends don't give me the i formation i need, I'll break that pretty little face of yours-

Simon: aw you think I'm pretty?

Kidnapper: you won't be talking like that when i break your fingers one by one, cut them off and feed them to you. If they dont come soon-

Simon: dude, i get it. You'll kill me. Unless i die of boredom first. Do you ever stop talking? I mean I've been told i never stop talking but jeez, you're getting a bit much.

Kidnapper: I -

Simon: do you ever wonder why you exist? I mean, I know I was conceived, but why am I actually here? How many random events occurred to create me? What if i were to just dissapear. Would people notice? Would they cry? Being kidnapped gives you afew perspectives on just how terrifyingly random life is. I wouldn't have ever been able to read lord of the Rings. Oh. You look confused. You've never read it? That's ok, I'll tell it to you, we have all the time in the world. So it starts with this...

Kidnapper: * unties him*

Simon: what are you-

Kidnapper: just.. Just go.

Kidnapper: we have your vampire friend.

Izzy: Simon?

Kidnapper: Yes. And if you want him back, we want all information on Valentine and the Mortal Cup.

Clary: Trust me, that won't be necessary.

Alec: Yeah, you took Simon. Good luck with that.

Kidnapper: Wha-?

Call hangs up

Kidnapper: ...

Simon: So, have you watched Star Wars?

Jace and Kit before finding out their true heritage:

it's so important to me that simon took guitar lessons for most of his life. that he'd been planning to go to music school after he graduated. that he had dreams of making a life for himself with his music. that music is so intrinsically a part of him.

simon has been a mundane and a vampire and a shadowhunter. but he'll always be a musician

I need to see simon, jace and kit meet. My life is not complete until I get a scene with those three.

Okay but why is no one talking about the fact that Kit is basically what would happen if Jace and Simon had a baby.

Blonde and beautiful

With arrogance problem

But also nerdy af

Makes pop culture references no one else gets

Is annoyed by the stunning beauty of shadowhunters

Loathes exercising

Okay he’s maybe even a little more Simon than Jace
