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.
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
PLEASE share your headcannons I’m begging you. Genuinely on my knees,
i can't decide if i want to write out extensive headcanons for rebecca lewis, or if i just want to wait until the brainworms take over and force me into writing a 30k character-defining fic about her
Always mourning the lack of content for the tales from the shadowhunter academy gang.
No one loves them like I do
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 being so randomly over protective Simon is sooo funny to me because Simon did NOT ask for that 😭😭
Like in GOTSM when Lily was talking abt how Simon bit Jace badly and Jace was like “he did great actually 🤬🤬🤬” or city of fallen angels when Simon was like “I have a roommate” and Jace was like “I’ll fight him” and Simon was like “…okay…”
Jace;
Forever disappointed by my ability to draw glasses.
