My thoughts

Ok so, I didn’t finish qoaad yet but like I have some opinions 

  • The first few chapters made me cry which says a lot because I do not cry with books.
  • I felt that Cassie tried to solve like everything and that TOO MANY things were happening
  • but it also helped keep like a good peace for the storie so this is like a pro and a con together.
  • I feel that all that spanglish was really realistic (it doesn’t matter how fluent you are, you will always speak your first language A LOT).
  • ”Ingrates? I’m only allowed to hang out with the grateful?” “What” “I’m not sure that word means what you think it means. English is my second language…” Fucking Iconic
  • Diego is fucking iconic in this book
  • Actually this book is pretty funny.
  • I’m still pretty mad that Rocío doesn’t have an accent but well 
  • Did you know that guácala has one tho? I didn’t 
  • The Thule part was weird and I didn’t like it but I didn’t hate it, it’s a big meh for me
  • Also Cameron is not that important as they made us believe, I am actually dissapointed 
  • It bothered me that Ash stayed atThule tho??? Like I didn’t understand that decision at all 
  • DID ANNABEL DIE OR NOT? DIDN’T JULIAN KILL HER? AND THEN SHE WAS ANSWERING HORACE QUESTION OR DID I MISS SOMETHING?
  • Also like the cure for the warlock desease was kind of convinient, like it was presented like such a trouble that was going to stay till twp but they already solved it?? idk man
  • Also Manuel’s povs are dull, plain, like he seems simple, and I understand that you can’t develop ALL characters but don’t give him a weak pov just to fill me in, surprise me
  • I also didn’t like Horace and Zara in Manuel’s pov, like they were too typical dumbass villain, compared to other tsc villains they look like a joke 
  • I am just ranting, I’m liking the book, not as much as I thought because I had too many expectations and I didn’t even finish it 
  • So far, Lord of Shadows is WAY better, like it’s a masterpiece

double standards, wlw erasure in tsc fandom: PSA

Okay so this is a call out post because I’m so fucking sick and tired of this shit and some people need this to open their eyes.

(Disclaimer I do ship a lot of these ships, but I’m calling out double standards because whew there’s a lot)

I’m going to ask you to imagine that everyone in the shadowhunter chronicles is genderbent and we’ll see how this changes stuff in the fandom.

Let’s start with Julian and the double standard that females are held to. The reason that I fucking hate Julian is because if he were genderbent the fandom would dub him a bitch. Because female+ruthless+cruel at times= just a bitch and no one would view him as hot or a good character because he’d be a girl and internalized misogyny is a bitch.

IN FACT LETS IMAGINE ALL THE SNARKY, SARCASTIC, SOMETIMES ASSHOLEY HERONDALE BOYS WERE FEMALE. OH THE FANDOM WOULD HATE THEM BECAUSE FEMALE+SNARKY= JUST A BITCH NOT HOT AT ALL

Now genderbent Cristina and Emma. If they were men there’d be a shit ton of fanfic and content, see: heronstairs as an example. Because if two men acted like Cristina and Emma do and said “I love you” platonically people would ship it. BECAUSE MEN CANT HAVE MEANINGFUL PLATONIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH EACH OTHER WITHOUT PEOPLE SHIPPING THEM APPARENTLY.

Speaking of heronstairs. If will and jem were female there’d be no shipping whatsoever and they’d just be a strong female friendship.

Also Matthew and James wouldn’t be shipped they’d just be best friends. Because two girls together isn’t hot for straight girls who make up a lot of the fandom.

Genderbent Malec wouldn’t be shipped or have nearly as much content as haline would have. How do I know this? Because look at the way content is distributed throughout fandoms. Robert/Michael: a couple who got one short story has more fandom content than wlw haline WHO ARE LITERALLY MARRIED. If malec was genderbent a lot of straight girls wouldn’t want to write it and that’s an undeniable fact.

AND FEMALE KITTY? BITCH PLEASE. They’d be another “budding friendship” BECAUSE WHEN TWO GIRLS FLIRT WITH EACH OTHER THE WAY KITTY DOES ITS NOT PERCEIVED AS ROMANTIC BY THE FANDOM. BUT YOU CAN BET THAT GENDERBENT KIT/LIVVY WOULD BE SHIPPED TO THE EXTREME BECAUSE WHEN A GIRL AND A GUY KISS (AND THERES NO OTHER GUY THAT THE FANDOM CAN SHIP THE GUY WITH) THE FANDOM SHIPS WLM MORE THAN WLW AND THERE’D BE NEXT TO NO GENDERBENT KITTY CONTENT BECAUSE ITS WLW. (Even though right now kitty, a noncanon relationship, has more content than a canonly married haline)

Okay now you stop imagining genderbent the shadowhunter chronicles now. (These are just a few examples I could go on but I think you get the point).

Anna Lightwood: one thing that makes me really fucking angry is the fact that we have more heronchild content now then we will ever have of Anna and her girlfriend.

In fact I can guarantee that there’s more content of noncanon mlm ships then there will ever be of haline, anna and her girlfriend, or any other canon wlw there might be.

Literally any wlw pairing gets next to no attention compared to mlm and wlm ships and it’s really fucking gross. If you have mlm ships and dub yourself an “ally” then please pay attention to the wlw erasure that happens in fandoms and try to combat it. REBLOG WLW CONTENT, SUPPORT WLW.

And if you don’t “like wlw pairings as much” then yup that’s homophobic and you’re just as bad as straight dudes that jerk off to lesbians and hate gay guys. Straight girls shouldn’t get a free pass on fetishization and homophobia, but they do and it’s awful.

And anyways I fucking hate fandom culture and I needed to get this out.


-Sincerely a salty angry girl who loves girls and is fucking tired


(I don’t know if this is cohesive, but it’s a giant problem in fandoms and I hate it sooo)

hk-herondale

This is why I wish CC would write more wlw relationships- but damn the truth has been spoken

fcirfolk

yeah but there are still nearly thoum’st same amount of mlm relationships as there are wlw relationships (i mean, under 5 each, although i agree she should— she will with anna.), and even if she did, they would still get ignored. rosastairs and heronstairs, very similar, right? yeah except heronstairs gets shipped romantically 24/7, yet me and my fellow rosastairs shippers could easily go on a roadtrip together in a caravan. thoum’st same with heronchild, and they have two short stories. and its the same with kitty and haline, and what hetty said. like if lily and maia were male you’d get loads of lilia shippers. they have as much page time as saphael, and double thoum’st chemistry. saphael literally has a ship name that me, hetty, opal, and rosey, etc.(?) didn’t make up, or at least to our knowledge, you know?? it’s not thoum’st writing that’s thoum’st problem– its everything that hetty said. thoum’st fetishisation of gay ships and male characters by straight fangirls, and wlw erasure in general.

( @hk-herondale this isn’t all aimed at you but i’m kind of responding to you and adding more on,,,, you’re cool you’re right it’s just the first part some other people may have that opinion and disagree with what hetty said, you know?)

queen-anna-lightwood queen-anna-lightwood

It’s not the quantity that’s the problem. If we had one hundred (100) wlw pairings there’d still be next to no content, because people erase them. Fetishizing straight girls will ship as many mlm ships as they want, but ignore wlw, because it’s not hot to them (which again fetishization is another problem entirely, but it’s constantly overlapping wlw erasure). It’s not the quantity that’s the problem. If we just had malec and haline, malec would have WAY more content because it’s an mlm ship. It’s a problem fandoms need to address and this post isn’t up for discussion.

So, fun fact for all of you history dorks, but you know that legend about Cleopatra being so rich and trashy that she would drink her wine with crushed up pearls in it?

Pearls are mostly Calcium Carbonate. When they mix with acids (such as those in wine) they produce carbon dioxide like little balls of fancy alkaseltzer.

What Im saying is, call Cleopatra a trashy hoe all you want, but she was the trashy hoe who invented instant champagne. Bitch was living in 3018 while everyone else was in 18

Now I want someone to do a fanfic where Julian and Emma try to explain what sex and periods are, I think it’d be hilarious.

the-dark-instruments

Emma looked seriously at all the gathered Blackthorns..oh yeah, and Kit. She squinted.

“So you want me to explain periods to you. Well, it’s basically 7 days of blood. The end. Well, if you’re a lucky bi-”

“Emma!” Julian scolded.

“-bird. Lucky bird. It lasts only three days.”

“But why does it hurt? And why does it happen? Why, why why?” Livvy moaned and threw herself backwards onto the sofa. She already started having her period which is why they are having this conversation right now.

“It’s because the Angel hates us. That’s why. And also it’s because our bloody uterus - see what I did there? - wants a baby and we don’t want a baby and the lack of baby makes the uterus mad and the uterus decides to sulk a little bit…

“I’m pretty sure that’s not the medical explanation?” Ty whispered

Kit nodded vigorously.

“Julian, tell me again why Kit and Ty are here?” Emma asked annoyed by their commentary. Dudes, Emma thought, they know nothing.

“Because they should know this too. They should also know how a baby is made.”

“But I am gaay.” Complained Kit.

“That’s no excuse.” Said Julian.

“So where was I. So then the uterus starts to contract in order to get rid off all the stuff it prepared for the baby. And that’s basically why it hurts and why you bleed.”

“So basically all I have to is get pregnant and it won’t happen for nine months..”Livvy said but then saw the warning look on Julian’s face and quickly added. “Babies? Who needs babies? Not me.”

“But Emma, you mentioned the pain, but I never saw you in pain. So it can’t be that bad?” Asked Dru, whose first period was yet to come.

“Oh my sweet summer child. You don’t see me in pain because during my period I am high as…,” she noticed Julian’s glare, “it’s because I take very strong pain killers. And also there are runes that help.”

Mark, who just entered the room, overheard the part of the conversation and added

“In faerie there are special mushrooms that prevent periods for three months. And there are potions that act as aphrodisiacs..”

“Okay, class dismissed for today-” yelled Julian and ushered the kids out of the room. “Mark, they need to know about sex but I rather keep the lesson about aphrodisiacs for another day.”

“As you wish brother.”

“Now, about those mushrooms…”Emma began. 

Julian sighed.

“If autism isn’t caused by environmental factors and is natural why didn’t we ever see it in the past?”

We did, except it wasn’t called autism it was called “Little Jonathan is a r*tarded halfwit who bangs his head on things and can’t speak so we’re taking him into the middle of the cold dark forest and leaving him there to die.”

iamthethunder

Or “little Jonathan doesn’t talk but does a good job herding the sheep, contributes to the community in his own way, and is, all around, a decent guy.” That happened a lot, too, especially before the 19th century.

rosslynpaladin

Or, backing up FURTHER

and lots of people think this very likely,

“Oh little Sionnat has obviously been taken by the fairies and they’ve left us a Changeling Child who knows too much, and asks strange questions, and uses words she shouldn’t know, and watches everything with her big dark eyes, clearly a Fairy Child and not a Human Like Us.”

The Myth of the Changeling child, a human baby apparently replaced at a young age by a toddler who “suddenly” acts “strange and fey” is an almost textbook depiction of autistic children.

To this day, “autism warrior mommies” talk about autism “stealing” their “sweet normal child” and have this idea of “getting their real baby back” which (in the face of modern science)  indicates how the human psyche actually does deal with finding out their kid acts unlike what they expected.

Given this evidence, and how common we now know autism actually is, the Changeling myth is almost definitely the result of people’s confusion at the development of autistic children.

Weirdly enough, that legend is now comforting to me.

neddythestylish

I think it’s worth noting that many like me, who are diagnosed with ASD now, would probably have been seen as just a bit odd in centuries past. I’m only a little bit autistic; I can pass for neurotypical for short periods if I work really hard at it. I have a lack of talent in social situations, and I’m prone to sensory overload or you might notice me stimming.

But here’s the thing: life is louder, brighter and more intense and confusing than it has ever been. I live on the edge of London and I rarely go into the centre of town because it’s too overwhelming. If I went back in time and lived on a farm somewhere, would anyone even notice there was anything odd about me? No police sirens, no crowded streets that go on for miles and miles, no flickery electric lights. Working on a farm has a clear routine. I’d be a badass at spinning cloth or churning butter because I find endless repetition soothing rather than boring.

I’m not trying to romanticise the past because I know it was hard, dirty work with a constant risk of premature death. I don’t actually want to be a 16th century farmer! What I’m saying is that disability exists in the context of the environment. Our environment isn’t making people autistic in the sense of some chemical causing brain damage. But we have created a modern environment which is hostile to autistic people in many ways, which effectively makes us more disabled. When you make people more disabled, you start to see more people struggling, failing at school because they’re overwhelmed, freaking out at the sound of electric hand dryers and so on. And suddenly it looks like there’s millions more autistic people than existed before.

That last paragraph is absolutely important.

elbiotipo

The incredible fast and dense stream of information and responsabilities we are subjected to each day has absolutely contributed to the recent rise of anxiety, depression, ADHD, social difficulties and other mental issues (and their symptoms), in my opinion. It cannot be solely explicated by genetics or predispositions.

I don’t think it’s just we are diagnosing them more effectively, or they are more visible. The very enviroment of the super-fast, digital civilization we live in has contributed to them. Future psychologists, sociologists and mental health professionals will be capable to shed more light in the issue; but in the meantime we have to take care of our mental health and that of our communities.

Guys but Jaime is honestly hilarious. He literally just layed down in a bench during this super important Clave meeting just to reserve the Blackthorns a space. Like, instead of putting an item of clothing like a sensible person would’ve down to reserve the space he draped himself across the bench like he was in a photoshoot. I stan Jaime Rosales the drama queen.

la-dama-de-rosas

and the blackthorns are a lot??? so even if he was laying down to reserve space for them there was probably still space he couldn’t reserve. but he did. the drama queen just raised his arms above his head on the bench. and diego stared down anyone that dared to say anything to his little bro
