;n; no one cawed back about the Rhythm Nation era Janet Jackson tribute I put in tactical!Venus’ design 

and then I realized a shitton of y’all were, with love, born well after I gained ambulatory independence and so I will educate the kids on 80s Janet Jackson, and also how to let the things around you inform, influence, and fuel your own creative decisions because truly? there are no original ideas (encouraging)

#like TMNT is many things #its very beginning was a parody #because Eastman and Laird were having a good chuckle #over 80s comics #specifically New Mutants and Daredevil #so you see #if you walk back far enough #you'll see how long the echo has been bouncing #the newer iterations themselves are also echos of past versions #mixed IN with new aspects #also #fucking hello? #i am gnawing on donathan's tac!au #like I'm a doberman with some rawhide #RHHGHGKKGHGKHGHHGKKKGHGHHRRGHGHKK #lovvit #sidenote #how the fuck do I put out the call #for my 37+ homies #MAIA HII #MAIA HUU #i already chitchat with some of y'all #wink wonk #i know we're out here #i see y'all's bios when I check notes #i say even tho #i just peer around corners like a cat #whose butt is wiggling #but its been wiggling for 45 min #pounce bitch!

Hey, I really love your take on some of more controversial aspect of tlh. I enjoy cassandra books, but I kind of feel that dawnwolders are incovinient to her, because she do not make any of them main character anymore. The only dawnwolders that are main characters are half-nephilim or no longer ones. Tlh do not have any and in my opinion won't twp have one ( ash doesn't count as he is some sort of hybrid of demon, fearie and nephilim). This is especially noticable in james case. The one that train james was not warlock but silent brother nor he seek to connect to dawnworlders community (his parabait is the one who fit more with them) also tessa only acted as warlock between her marriages. Vampires have not been present in the plot for 7 books.as a characters that have any influance on it). Luke and maya are the only warewolfs that are in more then 2 book. The only ones to have some page time are fearie and even then it is not much outside some ship drama( I really do not care about kierarktina and cristina, because cristina literally despait claiming that she wanted to help fearie didn't do anything for them but cry pity until she become atracted to mark and kieran. Then she helped only them). Do you think we will have at least one new main character who is dawnwolder in twp, like full blood dawnwolder not kit or ash that are part nephilim?

Hii!

Thinking back on it, this has been rather continuous theme from the very beginning of the whole chronicles. Magnus has been the only Downworld character that's been consistently featured in almost every book and every series, and you can see that Clare enjoys writing him. But let's consider someone like Maia who becomes a major side character in TMI. Maia first appeared in City of Ashes, because that random nameless mention in City of Bones doesn't count, but her story was aimless.

Her point of views were unnecessary and did not contribute to the story at all. The narrative and as such the cast treat her terribly, and even though the narrative in City of Ashes prefers us to think that she’s an essential character, it still fails to conclude her story. She just disappears. She serves a plot point and anything beyond that is forgotten as inessential. City of Glass has barely anything to do with her, and in City of Fallen Angels her role in it is as essential as that of, say, Alec, which is not at all. Her impact on the plot is minimal if even that.

Of course, there is Jordan who arrives to introduce Praetor Lupus, because Clare managed to concoct another concept to tie The Infernal Devices to The Mortal Instruments and actually work on the worldbuilding, but why is it all so minor compared to the focus Maia and Jordan's relationship receives. A relationship that begins with no point and ends with no point.

Luke, for one, is there for the connection to Clary and Jocelyn and acts as the eyes through which the past and truth is eventually revealed because Clary herself is (naturally) disconnected from the Shadow World. But to be honest, I don't know if this is an issue of these characters in TMI being Downworlders or that they simply fall into the same role as every other character that is not Jace or Clary. Because no one else has any business with the main plot for a major part of those books.

But with The Last Hours, the Downworlders just act as the backdrop to the "forbidden" parties the Nephilim characters attend in Hell Ruelle. They assist the plot development, some are comic relief, but there's no major character that is Downworlder (aside from Magnus but at this point he doesn't count). The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices probably featured more Downworld characters, The Dark Artifices somewhat as well, but none that was new or major. Malcolm was the villain, Magnus is obligated feature, whatever faerie there is is to be vague and not give straight answers as to the plot that concerns the Nephilim characters.

It's not as surprising that Downworld characters are so sidelined when the worldbuilding is basically in its infancy still. Clare somehow thought that it is realistic that New York vampire clan rules over the rest of the world, that there are no vampire characters, factions, inner politics at all. Similarly to the werewolves. It's a very tiny circle that even gets room on the pages. Now that Raphael as the only major vampire character is gone, Lily has taken his place and serves the sam role as Maia does for the werewolves.

Now that you mentioned Cristina, I kinda laughed because I didn't realize how little she did in the end actually do. Her ambitions were great but in the end she found herself in a relationship with an Unseelie king and a half-faerie Shadowhunter. Regarding The Wicked Powers, I don't think Clare is going to come up with any major character that is fully Downworlder because the only one she can consistently manage is Magnus.

for anybody not up to date on the maia lore i'm currently about a third of the way into the first draft of book 2 in a trilogy im writing and im having a great time EXCEPT ok so here is my issue three people have read book 1 (finished reading i mean) two of which are my mom and my aunt the thing is i appreciate their interest in my writing but they don't like. como se dice. get it. you know? like theyre rly not my target audience and it shows but thats not the point the point is that I like to sit down with a pencil and paper and draw some of the characters from the story and i want very badly to show my drawings to people so they can say Wow! Looks just like I pictured! or whatever you know it doesnt matter i just want to show my drawings to people but i ALREADY showed them to my gf (the third person) (hii i know youre reading this hiii love u) and she GETS IT. i showed some drawings to my mom once and she DIDNT GET IT. who can i show my drawings to!!!!! i show mayrav most of them and they get it but they havent read the whole thing yet. sophie hasnt finished but when she does. ooooohhhhh when she does. drawings. pls who wants to see my drawings

#drew a character show shows up at the very end of book 1 and she looks amazing and i have nobody to SHOW IT TOOOOOOOO

hi hi maia!! i love your name it’s so pretty! so is your theme too omg, evermore is my favorite ts album :D what’s yours?

hii! thank you, I think so too! It’s not my irl name, but it would be if I could have it. I’m a little attached to my irl name though lol. And thanks again!!! I also love evermore!! Fearless has my whole entire heart though, I love it to death. What’s your favorite ts song in general?

#thanks for the ask!

[andypantsx3]

hii :) i actually wanted to respond in the comments to my last book-related ask, unfortunately I do not know when to shut up and exceeded the word limit so I'm back here again! ^^

All of the books you mentioned sound amazing, I added all of them to my to-be-read list (under the scrutinizing looks of all the unread books on my bookshelf), I am really excited to read them, since I really love your writing style I think I have a good chance of liking your recommendations as well :))

Unfortunately everytime someone asks me what my favourite books are (which happens not nearly often enough, romance truly is dead) suddenly I never knew how to read and all that plays in my head is elevator music. Three books that I read that I still think of a lot, even if they are not reflective of what I usually go for are 'The Colour Purple' by Alice Walker, Jane Austen's 'Emma' and Elena Ferrante's 'My Brilliant Friend', but I don't think I could name a top 3 (which is also cool, I have yet to read my favourite book) Since I have to read a lot of stuff for uni atm I think lately I'm gravitating to more lighthearted fantasy/ YA novels again where I don't have to think too much ':D but that can also be hit or miss, a friend of mine recommended 'The Inheritance Games' to me and while I liked the idea, I just couldn't get into it

You've probably answered this before, but now I want to know what your favourite tropes/ AUs are? 👀

I hope you have/ had a good day :)))

I hope you do like my recs!! I have to say The Goblin Emperor is very much unlike my style. It's high fantasy with all of the fancy linguistic trappings that usually come with that and I could never have the patience. But it's actually the most important book of all time and I hope you love it anyway!!!

Maia actually reminds me so much of Shouto, with how he's been raised away from his three siblings and so much of society, but he's determined to forge connections and be kind, even in the face of his upbringing and his family legacy!! So just imagine our special angel boy while you're reading it lmfao.

Omg I feel like we might have the same taste. I also didn't love The Inheritance Games!! The convenience of the plot and loose threads really unraveled the experience for me though I wanted to like it as well!! I've actually been having so much trouble finding a new YA/NA series to get into lately and I'm so sad!!

Oooh and this is difficult. In terms of fave tropes, I think enemies-to-lovers (when done well and not just to slap on a book cover) is one of the best. I love found family so much, three of my top five fave books are notably found-family-forward (The Goblin Emperor, Winter's Orbit, and Six of Crows). I am a big hurt/comfort reader as well, and I loooove a good misunderstanding as you already unfortunately know lmfao. What about you??? 👀

Hii👋 I'm obsessed with your Snapshots series and your Mike and Will (plus Jonas and Maia❤️) are canon to me, I can't never read another married byler fic again bc yours is the real one. I love the way you portrait them, their relationship, friendship and parenting. The flashbacks are great too, I love the one about the magnets, that coded conversation between Mike and Mr. Clark always makes me cry. Anyway can't wait to read more about those two and their kids, have a nice day <33

Hi there!

It's so good to hear from you! I hope you're doing well!

I'm so happy you've enjoyed my stories (I mean, considering them canon?!! That's so sweet!) Writing them brings me a lot of comfort and happiness, and sharing them is always nerve-wracking, so it's nice to get such positive feedback!

Orientation was such a fun fic to write! I remember being nervous because it was the first time I was showcasing Hopper in a story, plus it was me depicting my version of the Mileven break-up, and I wasn't sure how that would be received. Mr. Clarke is such an underappreciated character in the wider fandom, and I was happy that he got to play a role as well. I definitely write and think of him as the sort of ideal teacher that we all wish we had. That coded talk about the magnets was everything I wanted it to be. So glad I got it out right.

Another addition to the series is coming! I'll admit: I've been kind of dragging my feet due to school. but it's being worked on and I am really excited to (eventually) share it with you and anyone else who cares to read it.

It was nice to hear from you! Have a wonderful day and weekend!

Hii Lola!! I missed seeing you on my dash how have you been?

Hi Maia

I miss you too. Trust me I’m so sorry that I haven’t been as active. As you know, I started a new job and that takes a law out of my schedule - the time that I would have used to be blogging is now dedicated to the job. However, I am a librarian, so it is a huge opportunity for me. I dedicate every single day to the one thing that has me grounded for years. I’m very happy and healthy regardless. What’s up with you?

[bbredit]

omg hii it’s me Maia again! This time with a url and pfp change!!

I came to ask if you could make a blue theme bookmark for the song history of man by maisie peters? I’m literally so obsessed with it rn I cannot get it out of my head (not a bad thing… it’s only been two weeks…) (also I recommend the whole album if u have time and want to bc it SLAPS!! its literally so good!! I’ve been listening to it almost exclusively for.. since I discovered it lol)

take ur time!! ily 💛💛

Hiiii my sweetest Maia!

I've never listened to any of Maisie Peters' songs but now I really wanna listen to them. Thank you for recommending this artist! I was looking for a new one to listen to, actually.

I will start designing right away.

Love you too <333333

You said please leave suggestions for bio upgrades, I think you should put pronouns in there if possible (or link to pronouns page) and also possibly whether you're a minor or not which, tho less immediately relevent in most interactions, is still good to know sometimes to know if it's okay to eg tell you some jokes and stuff like that. But mostly pronouns, like yes you said your gender but I know plenty of girls who primarily or exclusively go by various neopronouns (and also know of maia crimew who goes by it/its)

Hii thank you. I forgot I put that there. It is about time to change it :)

Thank you so much for the suggestions. Also it is always okay to talk to me. Tell me jokes and stuff. Please do. To be honest when I first got tumblr I did not understand pronouns and stuff. Also I thought that only minors put it up there. Thank you so much for the suggestions

:) you are so nice
