Will

“One prayer more will I make you, if you will grant it; let not my bones be laid apart from yours, Achilles, but with them; even as we were brought up together in your own home, what time Menoetius brought me to you as a child from Opoeis because by a sad spite I had killed the son of Amphidamas- not of set purpose, but in childish quarrel over the dice. The knight Peleus took me into his house, entreated me kindly, and named me to be your squire; therefore let our bones lie in but a single urn, the two-handled golden vase given to you by your mother.” And Achilles answered, “Why, true heart, are you come hither to lay these charges upon me? will of my own self do all as you have bidden me. Draw closer to me, let us once more throw our arms around one another, and find sad comfort in the sharing of our sorrows.” He opened his arms towards him as he spoke and would have clasped him in them, but there was nothing, and the spirit vanished as a vapour, gibbering and whining into the earth.

But they were just very good friends

Think about it this way:

Jace: I got laid in my sixth book

Will: it only took me three

Julian: armatures, one.

Me: that's all good and well but..

Will: knew Tesss for several months and when it happened, they thought it would probably be the last nonviolent touch she ever would feel as she would be with Mortmain who planned to rape her and torture her into doing whatever he wants. It was One night of love and gentleness for her to hold onto.

Jace: knew clary for about a year and a half and I would say he was only himself and not avoiding her because incest is wrong for about half of that so 3-4 months and on that might they were more than likely going to die the next day.

Julian: knew Emma for about 16 years, she had almost died and he with her. They have raised children together. They have suffered unimaginable loss and survived extreme trauma and trials together.

Me: So now let see who really 'got lucky' first.

Jace: is in love with clary about 4 months

Will: is in love with Tess for about 5 months

Julian: is in love with Emma for about 5 years AND that was also the evening of his first kiss.

And just because: Jem had to wait 153 years.

“Racism, stereotypes, sexism, homophobia. All these problems are still going to be there, but what’s cool about having three million followers on Twitter is that you have the power to tell people that there are problems in the world and how to help. Go on a march, sign petitions. Having that power is really cool. I’m not really sure that I’m a role model yet, because I’m not exactly old. But it’s cool to have kids looking up to you.”

One taught me love

One taught me patience

One taught me pain

Lady Midnight. I was 15, barely a year ago

I’m curious, what was the most recently released book in the shadowhunter chronicles when everyone first started reading them? Mine was clockwork prince!

Rember when we were happy and thought that Livvy and Kit would end up as parabatai? Ah, good old times

This make me sooo sad :(

“I was excited to write the story of Magnus and Alec Having An Adventure and Falling More In Love for a very long time, but my ability to do so was limited by the way publishing and distribution worked back in 2005, when I was initially trying to sell City of Bones. There was a lot more resistance to gay characters in YA at that time. A couple of publishers turned the book down because Alec, a gay character, was in it. The Barnes & Noble website page for City of Bones included a review from Commonsense Media where they gave it a content warning for “sexual content” just because of the presence of a gay character even though he never did anything sexual. A lot of big box stores refused to carry the book, and major children’s book clubs passed it over. 
I always hoped for systems to change. As the books grew more popular, and as times changed, I was able to include more of Magnus and Alec as the series went on. In fact, their presence in the story and on the page made a big jump starting in CoFA, at which point I received a surge of criticism from those who were upset that I was writing about Magnus and Alec more prominently. I remember having my books pulled from libraries; foreign translators cut scenes with Magnus and Alec in them; once I was standing in the middle of the street about to get into a car to take me to a school where I was going to do a talk about my books when my publicist came up and said we were no longer invited: the school had read about Magnus and Alec and they didn’t want me there. Or often, if I was at a school, I’d be asked not to talk about Magnus and Alec while speaking to the students. 
I tried to walk a careful line, including Magnus and Alec (and later, Aline and Helen) as significant and meaningful characters, but still managing to keep schools, libraries, and reading groups from throwing the books out or locking them up where the kids who most needed to read them wouldn’t be able to access them at all.“

Apparently Stephen King makes a cameo in chapter two and I swear if he’s not playing a motel clerk telling Richie and Eddie that there’s only one more room available then what’s the point

Yes!
