Stan And Eddie Not Dying In Chapter Two

Lol haha

Jem's hair.

xinling-loves-the-script said: As Jem was an unordinary Silent Brother how did he get his hair cut? Did it just not grow?

He cut his own hair. (Enoch did the back for him. Theirs was a forbidden love.)

Reblog if you have an original story!

I’m not talking about fanfictions or AU’s based off of a video game/comic/TV series, I’m talking about a story with a world and characters that are YOURS and YOURS alone.

Helen is exiled to Wrangel because it is necessary for the TDA plot. And yes, she is sent because being half-faery because the Clave is racist. We all know that. Cassandra knows that. She has said that the Clave may be the real villain in the series. Are you really complaining about a healthy family? Whoa

Casserole Chicken: I love gay people! Look at Malec and Heline! Also Casserole Chicken: *makes Alec biphobic* *gives Malec one mortal and one immortal child so Magnus and Max will live long past Alec and Rafael (the older brother in case you forgot)* *banishes Heline to Wrangel Island just because Helen in half-fae*

Cassie, let Clace die

I’m shook.

So Cassie’s talking about how ‘nobody knows if they’ll have kids’ and then goes on to say “but discussing it now also spoils who survived”

CLACE BETTER LIVE I SWEAR.

Jessa, Sizzy, Jemma, Shophie and Gideon, Cecily and Gabriel, Charlotte and Henry...

Tell me one ship in Cassandra Clare’s universe (from TID, TDA or TMI) which wasn’t at some point toxic and/or abusive? I would really like to know, because I couldn’t find a single one.

But just imagine Kit's mother beint the Queen of Air and apostillóDarkness

Queen of Air and Darkness theory

I’ve noticed that basically everyone in the fandom thinks that the Seelie Queen is the QoAaD but personally I find it too obvious. I mean, if this is true, then why hasn’t Cassie already told us? So my theory is that maybe the QoAaD is an Unseelie Princess who hasn’t been killed by the King yet and, in the end, after her father’s death, she will become the Queen and will rule over the Unseelie Court. Yes, I know that Cassie said that we have already met the QoAaD, so I think that maybe she could be one of the girls who tied Mark and Cristina together. I remember that someone (I don’t recall who, sorry) theorized that, since one of the girls is said to be horribly scarred, maybe the King tried to kill her but he didn’t succeed and she ran away.

After reading the post of that person (again, I don’t remember who, so please, if someone knows it, tell me and I will tag her/him) I decided to reread the description of the girl and this is what it says:

“One of them [the girls] pulled the ribbon from around her throat. Cristina stared; her neck was horribly scarred, as if her head had nearly been severed from her body.” -Lord of Shadows, page 182.

After reading this I started to agree with that person. I mean, if this girl isn’t important, then why describe her like this? I find it very strange…

character development

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.“

Thoughts on Patroclus

Friendly reminder that Patroclus should not be remember simply as “Achilles’ bitch”.

Friendly reminder that Patroclus was a little shit. He had the power, the looks and the skills, and he knew it. Not only he excelled at battle; he did it while taunting his enemies all the fucking time cause he was going to win and he knew it.

Friendly reminder that he was the one guy who got to call out on Achilles, something no one else dared to do. In fact, men went to ask him to call out on Achilles because everyone was scared of him. Except for Patroclus.

Friendly reminder that Patroclus had advanced medical knowledge, something extremly rare at the time. He healed many of his friends and comrades during battle. Hadn’t it been for him, many great warriors would have died.

Friendly reminder that Patroclus was loyal to a fault. He was always by Achilles’ side in battle. He never disobeyed Achilles orders. The one time he did, was the time he died.

Friendly reminder that Patroclus was kind and had a soft heart. He cried because while Achilles’ Rage lasted, he wouldn’t let any of his men enter battle, Patroclus included. And while Achilles’ troops were hiding in their ships, the rest of the Greek army got crushed. Patroclus felt so powerless and helpless because he couldn’t do nothing as he saw his comrades dying.

Friendly reminder that Patroclus had a character crisis. He had to decide whether obeying his Lord’s commands and abandoning his friends in battle, or going against his Lord’s wishes and engaging fight.

Friendly reminder that he refused to stay behind like a coward. He chose to enter battle, but since he was a honourable man he told Achilles about it. Friendly reminder that he managed to sway Achilles’ Rage. Friendly reminder that he managed to convince Achilles to let their troops rejoin the war, thus returning the victory to the Greeks.

Friendly reminder that Patroclus was flawed. He committed hubris. He got so battle drunk and was so excited by the prospect of finally ending the war, that he disobeyed Achilles’ direct command not to fight near the walls of Troy, and chased the Troyans back to the limits of the city. To the place Achilles had specifically told him not to go because it would be too dangerous. Friendly reminder that this one flaw is his downfall.

Friendly reminder that Patroclus doesn’t go down without giving one hell of a fight. Friendly reminder that Patroclus was so strong that Apollo (the God that protected Troy and Hector [Troy’s heir to the throne]) had to face him and repel him four times. Four times. A god. If that ain’t badass, then I don’t know what could be. In the fourth time, Apollo got inside Patroclus’ head and made him dizzy. Patroclus fell and Apollo removed him from his armour- Achilles’ armour. Patroclus ended up unprotected, vulnerable and dizzy in the middle of the battle field; so a random dude saw the opportunity and stabbed his back with a spear. But was that enough to make him go down? Oh heck no. The pain snapped him out of the dizziness. Patroclus realized he was in a very troublesome situation so he decided to fall back… but at that moment Hector engaged him in battle. And Patroclus wouldn’t retire from a direct combat, oh heck he wouldn’t. Even though he knew this was probably the way he would die, he fought with his all.

Friendly reminder that lacking his armor, tired from battle, with a spear wound on his back and only Achilles’ sword left as weapon, Patroclus faced Hector, Troy’s greatest warrior and didn’t fear.

Friendly reminder that when Hector sheathed his spear in Patroclos’ stomach, Patroclus thought about the love of his life.

Friendly reminder that with his last breath Patroclus smiled at Hector and told him “You are a dead man. This will be your downfall”. Friendly reminder that until his last moment, he was a little shit.

Friendly reminder that Patroclus is a flawed, well-rounded, badass character and that he deserves so much more than his current position as “Achilles’s love interest”.
