Alec and Clary hating each other's guts in cob is iconic & funny but what makes it so much funnier is how quickly they get over it. by the epilogue they're both like "I feel so bad about all the mean & completely untrue things I said to you and for being really shitty/shoving you against a wall/nearly causing you to die :( im so sorry. anyway, let's never tell Jace any of this k?" and then proceeded to never acknowledge any of it again. by coa it's like it never happened at all. like it doesn't even get a mention in their inner monologues or anything. the one time it does come up is in tftsa due to Simon's incomplete memories & him being under the impression Alec doesn't like Clary. and when he brings it up to Alec his immediate response is this

like I'm obsessed with their dynamic, nobody's doing it like them

i have a confession to make

for most of chog and choi i genuinely believed matthew was in love with james, not cordelia and i was so confused cause i forgot to pick up on any signs he's in love with cordelia and rather paid attention to math being into his parabatai

#tlh #the last hours #matthew fairchild #tsc #cassandra clare #i wholeheartedly believed cc wrote the unrequited love trope in parabatai once again but more tragic

[clockwork-angels]

what she says: i’m fine.

what she means: will and jem only got five years together and throughout all of those jem was steadily dying. they became parabatai over a bet and only because jem was certain will would lose and he wouldn’t have to actually go through with it in fear of all the pain and sorrow he would cause will when he finally died. they were so in tune that they fell for the same girl and both stepped out of each other’s way when they realized. when jem was upset he threw his medicine into a fire and will stuck his hand in the flames to retrieve it because he refused to let his parabatai die. when will felt the bond break he almost gave up and the only thing that kept him going was the need to save tessa. when will’s parents died he sought out jem’s comfort as much as his wife’s (if not more so). he lost half of himself when he lost jem. he named his kid after jem (and jem did the same with wilhemina [mina]) and kept his dragon head staff and violin in a special room in the institute so that he’d always have a part of him near. he was very protective of it. when he died not only did jem show up but he was there to play him one more song on the violin. jem carstair’s violin was the last thing will herondale ever heard.

I wish CC could’ve split TLH into six different books like TMI. BC there’s way too much info and characters. I can’t keep track of them all! Also I feel like the copious amount of sigh plots, characters, relationships and backstories diverted our focus from the main storyline. Maybe I’m stupid, but two books later and I still can’t figure out who is related to whom and Which child belongs to which set of Lightwood parents. Also can somebody please explain to me, what the main plot of the goddamn series is? Is it the whole thing with the demon or is it the cursed bracelet?

Julian to Helen and Aline

Hi guys. We just got back from Cirenworth and seeing Jem, Tessa, Kit (and Mina, of course.) I learned a great deal about Kit, about a gun and an old Herondale named James. I have to sort my thoughts out, but in the meantime, here's a photo of all of us at Cirenworth. You ought to go sometime. It's a pretty cool place.

TMI Game Night Headcanons

The weekly game nights used to be held at the NY institute. But after a couple of weeks, they had to move it to Malec’s apartments because things got a little too noisy. (Izzy, um, there is a note for you…What does it say?…Nothing. It’s just a drawing of the…soundless rune…)

Alec came up with a system to make sure they all got to play with different partners. So for each game, they paired up with someone different. It was under the pretence of “learning each other’s strengths for missions’ but actually because he knew it wouldn’t be fair for the others if he paired up with Magnus for every game. And no, he was not overconfident. 

They settled in pretty easily. Apparently everyone preferred to have game night in the apartment anyway (Listen Jace, I respect you as the head of the institute. I am just saying that the snacks at Magnus’ are actually edibl-NOBODY ASKED YOU TO EAT IZZY’S FOOD, LEWIS!!!)

Jenga - Magnus and Alec always win because they were the tallest in the group. Sizzy always end up making out and accidentally toppling their jenga tower. Clary and Jace have never win at Jenga since it always ends with Clary aggressively kicking the pieces (I AM JUST SAYING THAT JENGA IS A SIZE-IST AND SHORT PEOPLE DESERVE RIGHTS!!!!)

Pictionary - Clary is a an amazing artist and Alec has actual brain cells so they always win Pictionary. Magnus and Simon are probably good but they usually end up using the markers to draw cute pictures for Max and Rafe. Izzy would have won but unfortunately, her partner is literally the worst (It’s supposed to be an igloo! What do you mean it looks like a mango! HOLD ON IS THIS WHAT A MANGO LOOKS LIKE SHGDFAHFGHS)

Charades - Jace and Alec were quite confident that they can win charades because they have been parabatai for years and can understand each other without having to say a word. But unfortunately, neither of them know any movies so they never win. (Listen, I am not acting out Freddie got Fingered. Why is that even a movie????) Magnus and Izzy are quite good but they are no match for Simon and Clary who literally take 4 seconds to guess every clue. (BOO YEAH WE ARE THE BEST PARABATAI IN THE ROOM, BITCHES…I am sorry I said bitches…I am super psyched to be better at something than you and Alec!!!!!!! SO SUCK IT BITCHES!!!!)

Scrabble - After the very first game the gang soon realized Magnus and Jace are the worst combo. They are both unapologetically obnoxious and won every single game. Alec doesn’t play but instead keeps spelling cute messages for Magnus with his letters (ALEC CAN YOU STOP FLIRTING WITH YOUR HUSBAND FOR TWO SECONDS OMG! WHAT ARE YOU SPELLING? F..U..C..WELL FUCK YOU TOO!!!) Simon always checks every word they used in the dictionary and would immediately pout when he finds out it is a real word (HOW THE FUCK IS SHIBBOLETH IS A WORD? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW IT? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!!) Clary and Izzy quit scrabble when they were told that ‘lmao’ and ‘yas’ cannot be considered as ‘real words’.

Twister - They don’t play it anymore because Alec finds the whole game ridiculous and awkward. Apparently it had nothing to do with that one time he accidentally grabbed Simon’s butt. The gang was sad but when Alec fainted the seventh time after watching Magnus play twister, they decided the game needs to be forgotten due to medical reasons (I GET THAT MAGNUS IS FLEXIBLE, CLARY! BUT THEY ARE MARRIED! AND HE FAINTS EVERY FUCKING TIME!!!!)

Darts - Alec and Simon are incredibly good and win every game. Jace and Clary boo at them while throwing popcorn at them. (DARTS IS NOT A REAL GAME! DARTS IS NOT A REAL GAME! OW, ALEC! THAT JACKET WAS FROM NIKE, YOU DICK!) Magnus and Izzy just sit in a corner and thirst after their baes. 

Cards Against Humanity - Alec and Izzy still didn’t don’t understand how the game is played. Simon and Clary are masters of puns and hilarious responses. Jace and Magnus were disqualified because their answers were either too dirty or too depressing (No, Jace, you can’t use the ‘daddy issues’ and ‘daddy’ cards for every turn!! And Magnus, pease stop using ‘bleached asshole’ and ‘having a penis’!!!!)

Video Games - Izzy always breaks the controller by jamming the buttons too hard and Magnus takes way too long to decide on an outfit for his avatar. Clary spends half the time swearing at the characters and Alec gives a lecture about the desensitisation of violence through video games. Jace and Simon win every time because they ‘secretly’ (literally every one knows - even chairman meow) meet up to play video games all the time. (WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. YA’LL ARE THE LOSERS. WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS. Y’ALL ARE THE LOSERS. OH MY GOD ALEC, I JUST BOUGHT THIS JACKET AFTER YOU PUT A HOLE IN THE OTHER ONE, YOU ASSHOLE!!!)

Monopoly - They played it once. The night ended up with them burning the monopoly board on the rooftop and vowing to stay away from the cursed game forever. They never spoke of that night again. Simon doesn’t even remember the night. Jace still has nightmares. Izzy gets war flashbacks every time she hears the word jail. Clary had to go to therapy. Magnus and Alec could never look at Piccadilly street the same way again.
