It’s actually so funny that Jem canonically has no idea how eloquently he phrases things and is like Noo I’m not good with words 😪😓 and everyone around him is like. ??????? NO???

What your favourite style savvy / new fashion boutique brand says about you!
April Bonbon- You may not dress in decora kei in real life but you sure wish you could.
Marble Lily- If you played the game as a child it introduced you into lolita, if you played as an adult then this brand is the reason you bought the game in the first place.
AZ•USA- You are loving that you dress in gyaru in the game or you’re just American.
Capsule / Retrobeat- You think retrobeat is underrated and you really like characters from shows with 1min screen time.
Marzipan Sky- You’re queer, I don’t make the rules.
Sonata / Chorale- You fully believe that Evie is your fairy godmother.
Pure Cloth / Basic U- You don’t exist.
Terra / Soy- You were really happy when maxi skirts came back into fashion 2 years ago.
Pen / Brook Bridge- You didn’t go to a school with a uniform.
Alvarado / Edin Chen- You were sad when you found out that Angélique doesn’t actually like chic fashion despite wearing it so you are a hard core Lola stan.
Kanokoi- You say this is your favourite brand but really you only wear the kimonos and yukatas from it.
Mad Jack / Stage Dive- You had a scene kid or emo phase and would always put the arm warmers on your character.
GXS / Street Flow- You always pair your outfits with April Bonbon clothes but refuse to say that AB is your fav.
Raven Candle- We know. YOU LIKE MARIA WE GET IT!
Masquerade / Purple Moon- You’re still upset that there is only one fifth of the amount of clothes in PM compared to every other brand also you like anime.
Any of the male brands- You don’t really like these, you’re just upset you can’t play as a dude.
(Note: not all brands are on the list either because they don’t appear in enough of the games and are not transferable or they are bag brands)
… so which one are you?

“’Of course! I’m sorry. I don’t have much experience talking to—‘
‘Vampires?’ asked Lily sweetly.
‘Women.’ Said Joaquín.
‘It’s true I’m five fabulous feet of pure woman,’ Lily mused.”

no because I can't stop imagining an AU where there's a "Jem Carstairs reads thirst tweets" video on youtube and most, if not all, of the tweets are from the Jem stan accounts of Tessa Gray, Will Herondale, Lily Chen, and the rest of the Shadowhunter Chronicles characters (because I'm pretty sure they all have at least one), and Jem would get all flustered but would also be really polite with his responses because he's just that kind of guy, and the tweets would get increasingly more hardcore and violent and his face just becomes redder and redder IT'S SO CUTE, YOU GUYS, SOMEONE MAKE A FIC OR SOCIAL MEDIA AU PLEASE

Reaction to Ghost of The Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare
At first, I wasn’t too excited to read Ghosts of the Shadow Market, which is why it took me so long to read it. I just couldn’t bring myself to read it. But I was surprised, although not all the stories marked my attention the majority of them did. No going to lie Cecil Montclaire I was not excited to read about, but I stan now.
Cast Long Shadow:
●      I had liked Matthew from the first time we meet him in Nothing but Shadows and I had heard the rumour that he was Gideon’s bastard, which in my mind the only way that happened is if both Henry and Charlotte knew they wouldn’t be able to have more children and were willing to try other ways. I did not, however, envision that he would go that far to have answers.
●      I loooooooooove Jem.
o   I was so happy to see him being protective of his friends’ children.
●      Matthew, unlike our other heroes, is extremely naïve when it comes to the hate downworlders have towards Nephilim or at least that is the impression I got. Especially for the time, he lives in, which is still only about a decade after the Accords are put in place. It kills me though to have seen his innocence killed the way it was, trusting the wrong faerie.
o   Also, that old fairy can take her potion and drink it. I did not, however, realize how important she was. Which is what I love in the end about this book, how the plot in every story is linked.
Every Exquisite Thing:
●      This was definitely the hardest one for me to read, maybe because the character of Anna that we were being given was so different from what we knew about her. She had none of the confidence and swagger we had heard or seen before.
●      However, I loved Cecily and Gabriel in this one, maybe more than I ever had. Mostly because we get to see them as adults and how supportive they are of their children: Christopher likes to blow stuff up? let’s help him, as long as it’s not our house he blows up; our daughter is a lesbian who wants to look good in pants Gabriel and Cecily argue over what colour of pants would look better on her.
o   Although I liked Ariadne, and can understand her point of view, I am happy that Anna refuses to hide who she is and simply marry a man that will try and understand her.
●      I can’t help but wonder however what happened to these Lightwoods, rebellious and accepting to turn them into Robert Lightwood and his parents.
●      Now about the bigger plot, it did intrigue me that we at this point know more than Jem about what he is looking for, but still know very little in actuality. We don’t know much about Kit’s mother or his ancestor.
●      Overall, this one had very little to do with the First Heir storyline and we instead find Jem chasing Tessa’s mysterious father, which probably means said demonic father will be important to the Last Hour storyline. But this is just a guess.
Learn about Loss:
●      I think the title has a bit to do with the fact we find out about the lost Herondale and the first Heir that were, at that time using, the last name Loss.
o   Might also have to do with Jem coming to terms with Will’s imminent death.
●      Looooooved Sister Emilia and I hope we see her again, maybe her meeting Jem with Tessa and little Mia and Kit. But I just want to see how badass she became.
●      I hate that Will is close to death and Jem can’t be with him like he wants, although I knew he would eventually die, I am firmly staying in denial.
●      That last scene of them together was beautiful though.
●      Overall, this is when we are really introduced to The First Heir plot before Jem was chasing for Tessa’s father, but now he starts looking for the lost Herondales. This one and Deeper love is kind of an ending the the ID and LH Crew.
A Deeper Love
●      Jem and Tessa!!!!!! Together!!!!!
o   But also mourning Will which makes me sad.
●      This story is maybe a couple of years after Will’s death, Tessa is trying to move on, but can’t stay in London and watch the rest of her family die, so she enlists.
●      Tessa and Catarina getting to have a friendship and help people at the same time is awesome.
●      Jem is reckless and gets hurt, but then we get to see him and Tessa, so it is worth it.
●      Jem knowing, he can’t be with Tessa right now is heartbreaking, but true.
●      Jem and Tessa find out the story about the Lost Herondales from Catarina.
●      Overall, I am going, to be honest, this one I did not really like, maybe because it is just after Will’s death, I don’t really know why. But it is kind of a transition from Will and Tessa as a couple to Jem and Tessa.
The Wicked Ones:
●      First Off, this is the first one where we read about Jem not understanding feelings or remembering them and it gutted me.
●      Meeting Céline was beautiful. I had never had a good opinion of her before and finally getting inside her head was worth it. I apologize for never giving her a second thought before, she is such a strong and sad person who deserved the world, who deserved finding someone who would have loved her, and I saw some of Jace in her. Their absolute love and bad sense of morals, their weakness for a place to belong and their empathy towards downwolders.
o   Good riddance with her parents.
●      The way Valentine manipulated her and used her is sickening. Far more than with any of the others.
●      Stephen Herondale how are you a descendant of Will and James??????!!??!?!?!?!?
●      Meeting Rosemary was… enlightening. She loved fiercely, her distrust of shadowhunters is understandable.
o   She is definitely not someone I would want to cross.      
●      Overall, I loved this one, more than the ones before. Meeting Céline and Rosemary, two women willing to do evil for their love is a beautiful parallel. Two strong women who were almost saved, but eventually chose love over anything. It is even more heartbreaking by Jem trying to remember the feeling because he had it once.
Son of the Dawn:
●      This is really the story where we only see Brother Zachariah at the beginning, until the institute where we finally see Jem surface. We really get to see how being a silent brother is killing Jem.
●      Raphael and Lily are awesome and deserved better.
o   I didn’t realize how much I miss Raphael and him refusing to admit to having friendships.
o   I wish I had Lily Chen’s ability to come up with nicknames, which is a superpower.
●      Yin fen…. How is that shit still around??? Why hasn’t someone destroyed it???? You have to have no morals to sell that shit.
●      Baby Lightwoods!!!!!!!!!
o   The fact 12-year-old Alec had a crush on Raphael is awesome.
o   Baby Max is adorable and so beautiful
o   Little Isabelle is as fierce as her older self.
o   Tiny Jace deciding on his parabatai the moment he saw him makes me happy.
●      I love the fact that Jace was able to remind Jem of Will and Tessa, bring him back from the emotionless state of the Silent Brothers.
●      Suddenly my dislike of Robert and Maryse returned. The way they spoke to Raphael is disgusting.
●      Overall the story is not that important to the plot of the First Heir and Kit, but it does give us an insight into Jem having to fight to remain human and remember why he became a Silent Brother, to in the end be saved. We also get to see the old crew (minus Simon, Clary, and Magnus) as they were still innocent children.
The Land I Lost:
●      I loved this story, mostly because we get the Lightwood-Banes, and Alec being the badass he is.
●      Lily Chen is a hilarious and beautiful person and I sooooo wish we had seen more of her during the Mortal Instruments and can’t wait to see more of her in Wicked Power and The Eldest Curse.
o   Alec and Lily’s friendship is wholesome and deserves more pages honestly.
o   Alec understanding, he has privileges and using it was awesome.
o   The fact that Lily totally knew Alec once has a crush on Raphael.
o   I think that almost every downwolder has one Nephilim that makes them see Shadowhunters in a different light. For Magnus there was Will, Tessa had the London Institute, Kieran had Cristina, Gwyn had Diana, and Lily has Alec (and kind of Cordelia Carstairs).
●      Feral Rafael!!!!!!!
●      The fact Alec did not realize he had adopted Rafael warms my heart
●      Max being soooooo happy to have a sibling filled my heart.
●      Magnus having his moment with Rafael where he just knew, the same way Alec did with Max.
o   I do like the parallel with both.
●      We finally learn about the old Faerie that gave Matthew the potion that hurts his mother and let me tell you: she can cram her Herondale-anger down her throat and choke on it.
●      Jem and Tessa!!!!!! Finally, happy!!!!!!
●      Juliette is a queen and not just of the Shadow Market.
●      I really love how the storylines and the books are converging more and more. With Juliette and her daughter from the Eldest Curse, Mother Hawthorn and Kit’s storyline.
●      Overall, I loved this story not only because we had Alec and Jem with Tessa, but mostly because we get to really see Alec as the man that would move heaven and hell to make the world a better place for his family.
Through Blood, Through Fire:
●      This one was not that interesting other than for the details we got about Rosemary since it centers on a story that we already know the ending too. We simply get the final details of Kit’s background.
●      As a character I loved Rosemary, someone who would do anything to be free and at the same time would lock herself up for her son. If only Johnny/Jack could have loved his son as much.
●      Getting Rosemary’s backstory does let us understand her distrust of shadowhunters and how much she loved Johnny/Jack.
●      Overall, we finally get the last bits of detail of the First Heir storyline.
The Lost World:
●      Baby Mia.
o   I really just want to talk about baby Mia, but other than her almost getting possessed, she is not really the focus of this novel.
●      Livy, I fear will become a problem in the future, I feel like she might lose control at some important moment, but that just might be me being negative.
●      I really want to know what the Dimmet Tarn is and what it can do.
o   I can’t help but think it’s some kind of passage to the afterlife and that’s why Livy is going towards it.
●      I already love Irene and can’t wait to see more of her in the future. The fact that she can feel ghosts and other creatures will be useful.
●      Poor Ty, I feel like he is trying really hard to punish himself and he can’t understand the emotions he is feeling, so he is just assuming he did something wrong.
●      Idris News: I honestly thought that locking themselves up in Idris was the stupidest thing the Cohort had ever done. They can’t hunt demons; they can’t get imports of food and they are totally cut off from the world. How exactly are they going to survive??? The fact they actually have a plan and want to wreak havoc makes sense, but I feel like they are still outnumbered and outgunned.  
●      Good to see Magnus being the most adult adult.
●      Overall, I liked this one, didn’t love it, but it was nice to see the characters. I feel like some points here will be important in Wicked Powers, like the Idris’ News and Dimmet Tarn. Also, Mia.
Forever Fallen:
●      Probably the one I was the most excited about reading other than the Land I Lost.
●      I love the idea of Thule and the characters having to be brought into the canon universe to fight Janus.
o   I can’t wait to see Thule Simon. I mean this is a Simon who has pretty much lost everything and is trying to kill someone who could have once been his friend.
●      The fact we got to see a day in the park for the Lightwood-Banes was probably my favourite part.
●      I got scared when Max was talking to Janus.
●      I feel like Lily Chen and her deal with Janus is going to end horribly, I want to think she is smarter than that, she was taught by Raphael after all, but love makes idiots of us all. So, there might be a plan there, but I am not sure.
●      The way Janus thinks reminded me of when the group was shown their deepest desires but twisted when they went to Eden. He lost everything and more than anything wants to protect those he considers family but isn't capable of understanding emotions anymore or morals.
●      The Carstairs-Gray household is wholesome and loving and I adore them.
o   The fact Kit finally has parents that love and support him.
o   I love how much Jem and Tessa consider Kit their son.
o   Mia and Kit!!!!!!!!!!!!
●      However, I do feel like the ending was ominous towards the fact the Kit will eventually have to become or do something because of being the descendant of the first heir. They said he wasn’t an heir technically, but he did throw the Riders across a field in QOAAD, therefore I think he has more power then they imagine but it's locked inside of him.
●      Overall, I loved it, it leaves us wanting more of the MI and AD crew, for which we will have to wait and foreshadow that the First Heir storyline will be important to Wicked Powers. I love the way it ties the plot of the entire book, which was finding and protecting the First Heir into Jem and Tessa finally getting their happy ending with their two beautiful children.
Overall:
I love pretty much anything Cassandra Clare writes especially in the Shadowhunter world. I would recommend this book, mostly because it ties into the storyline we will be reading in Wicked Powers and gives us an insight into Matthew and Anna, as well as the fact that Tessa’s demonic father will be important.
It is a nice between while we read The Last Hour series and wait for the Wicked Powers.
In cases like this series you pretty much have to read all the books, because sometimes there are small details that are important to the whole storyline in every book and novel, however, individually I would recommend:
●      The Wicked Ones:
●      The Land I Lost
●      Forever Fallen.
For the Last Hour Storyline:
●      Cast Long Shadows
●      Every Exquisite Thing
For the First Heir Storyline (The reason I separate this one from Wicked Powers is that it doesn’t foreshadow anything about the storyline it just explains the First Heir, but the First Heir will probably be important to the Wicked Powers Storyline):
●      Learn about Loss
●      A Deeper Love
●      Wicked One
●      The Land I lost
●      Through Blood, Through Fire
The Wicked Powers Storyline:
●      The Lost World
●      Forever Fallen

200 pages into The Red Scrolls of Magic
Downworld parties are always one of the best bits of tsc books tbh
Also I’m glad Raphael continues to be a Constant Mood
However I never want to see him say “wittle fee-fees” ever again
Alec being appalled at the thought of killing Magnus totally didn’t have me crying over Thule!Malec
Do you think it kills Cassie every time she has to passively describe Clary through Alec’s pov instead of ranting off a page about the Glorious War Ending Better-Than-Everyone-Else Godess she usually writes her as
There’s just something so funny about Alec having the least interest in “Jace’s new girlfriend” skdhsksja Zero Fucks Alec is my favourite Alec
Isabelle is such a supportive sister we don’t deserve her why the fuck didn’t she walk Alec down the aisle
Would it be a pre-los book without Malcolm creeping
Also Raphael texting Ragnor was so sad omg my heart hurt for him
And I’m only just realising Raphael wasn’t there to see him return hhhhhhh I’m emo
Helen Blackthorn and Lily Chen making out was iconic
Johnny Rook being like “you didn’t see me” and sprinting from the building akdjsksjak sometimes I can see Kit in him too well
Alec’s small “oh, thanks” when Catarina said she liked him ugh he’s so soft must protecc
•Life is a stage, exit with style
I, like Alec, kinda wish Shinyun would fuck off
Not that I don’t like her or anything. Like I don’t particularly trust her but she’s not horrible. She’s just a mild annoyance.
Alec failing to drive manual (stick-shift) made my day tbh now I’ll feel a little better every time I stall at traffic lights bc at least I didn’t drive off a cliff
That conversation by the fire between Magnus and Alec was so lovely we stan Supportive Boyfriend Alec
Overall, a v good hundred pages. I like a lot of actions and that’s what I got. I’m loving the visuals too, like Magnus and Alec flying along roads in a Maserati ugh what a power couple
Coincidentally I keep putting the book down every time they enter a new city, so Rome is next. Looking forward to it

Rereading TLIL because
I LIVE for Lily Chen & her adventures with Alec.
(and her many nicknames for Jem! We stan! Lol)
Also, “hey my baby”
Plus: ““not a sister” Magnus translated from the door. “Max, this is Rafe.Say hi”
Max clearly took this as confirmation. He patted Alec’s shoulders as if to say: great job, Dad, finally you deliver the goods.”
Uggnnhhhh I love this family so much!!!

Ghosts of the Shadow Market Review!
My first book of the Read to Roll challenge is Ghosts of the Shadow Market by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson, Kelly Link, and Robin Wasserman. 
Tumblr media
Look at Jem! I love my son!
Tumblr media
Here we are at the pond! Fun fact: Cassandra Clare allegedly lives in the town next to mine. I kinda really hate it. 
I actually finished reading this a while ago, but I got caught up with school and the library book is due tomorrow, so I guess we’re doing this review tonight, bitches! 
First: I LOVED this book!! I have my issues with CC and it took me literally took me like 9 months to finish reading QOAAD (which I also enjoyed, I just couldn’t get through) but I FLEW through this book! I think maybe the short story format just fits my brain a bit better. I’m gonna break this down by story:
Cast Long Shadows
Matthew!! My child!! I want to hug you so much!! 
This story stood out to me as particularly hopeless, especially compared to the rest of the stories. It ended in total despair, and I understand Matthew did something VERY VERY BAD but he is a dumb child and dumb 15 year olds do a lot of dumb things so 
I really hope he gets some sort of resolution in TLH
This bitch deserves happiness 
Also he’s defo not straight?? like no straight boi is THAT into oscar wilde
i kinda ship him with thomas
Every Exquisite Thing
SOOO PURE!!!!!
WE STAN SUPPORTIVE PARENTS!!!!!!!!!
This story was like a breath of fresh air compared to the last
It doesn’t really connect to the overarching plot at ALL (every other story does, correct me if I’m wrong) but i’m okay with it because anna lightwood is incredible and deserves all of the respect 
the only bit that kinda not really relates is the talk about tessa’s demon parent? which is lowkey implied to be like... actually satan?? ahhhh????
That last bit with Cecily was just so beautiful. again. 
I TOLD YOU THE BLUE WAISTCOAT WAS THE ONE
I’m just imagining them just in bed one night and one of them was like ‘our daughter hecka gay’ ‘what should we do’ ‘well we gotta buy her a suit that actually fits her obv. she can’t keep walking around in clothes that don’t fit, also they’re gross’ ‘i actually already went to the tailor down the block and made a list of the ones i think she would look best in’ 
I know ariadne broke annas heart but also i feel really bad for her. being a brown lesbian in 2019 is hard enough. she lost her parents and she doesn’t want to lose what she has left. i hope she also gets some sort of closure in TLH. i would be content with her and charlie having a charlotte and henry thing going minus the pining and falling in love. they’re married but it’s just business and they can pursue whomever on the side
also isabelle do you realize that necklace you’re wearing was once owned by queer QUEEN anna lightwood?????
Learn About Loss
this story was a little slow, but very necessary for introducing the lost herondale plot
emilia is so fucking badass 
the last scene with will and jem was so pure and wholesome. i’m so mad that they were robbed of so much time together. 
A Deeper Love
this story was just anxiety
like obv i knew jem wasn’t going to die but the CLIMAX 
can kit pls have some heart to heart with catarina in twp! like she deserves some closure! like she can just tell him some stories and he can understand a bit more of where he comes from
jem deserves all of the hugs 
i just want to scream YOU GET MARRIED! YOU HAVE A CHILD! IT WILL HAPPEN! 
The Wicked Ones
this story was,, uh,, something
i’d say it ties with cast long shadows as the most depressing 
so basically, celine was horribly abused her entire life by the people who should have taken care of her, her trauma was exploited by another abuser so that she too became incredibly manipulative and potentially abusive, and then she killed herself (was murdered?) and her child was ripped from her corpse to be abused throughout his entire childhood as well
it was cute seeing kit’s parents! they were so cute! what happened. 
Son of the Dawn
baby alec! baby izzy! baby jace! baby baby max! 
i’m not a big jace fan, but ugh i just wanted him to get the love that every child deserves! 
i can’t believe raphael santiago was alec lightwood’s sexual awakening
“brother let him see my rack-ariah” 
lily chen deserves the whole goddamn world
jem CARVED WILL’S INITIALS INTO HIS STAFF
FULL HOMO
The Land I Lost
gotta admit that i wasn’t too hype about this one bc i’m kinda tired of all of the malec narratives, but it was cute
“JEM I’D-LOVE-TO-CLIMB-’EM-CARSTAIRS” (this has to be my favorite) 
once again i love lily chen with all my heart and she deserves all of the happiness and none of the shit that the world has given her 
also??? lily breathed, “cortana.” this girl was GAY for CORDELIA CARSTAIRS
BLESS THE COME AND STARE FAMILY
i love how this small child who hates everyone just physically attached himself to alec and would not let go 
cordelia carstairs was lily’s sexual awakening and you can’t change my mind
SLEEP LILY I’LL WATCH THE DOORS alec lightwood being the PAL lily deserves
THAT BITCH! poor matthew. he was still dumb but he was played by some bitch who couldn’t separate her person grudges and an entire race of people
i love how magnus saw this child run into his home with alec nowhere in sight and was like “guess he’s my son now” 
Through Blood, Through Fire
rosemary ;_;
that’s so fucking depressing like you abandoned your family and it bought them like 3 days max 
i think it’s a little weird that tessa now has some of kit’s mother’s memories and is adopting him but also i guess it’s kinda nice? 
both jem and tessa have actually almost died searching for you, kit, and i don’t think either regret a single thing they did to lead themselves to you
jem and tessa are in LOVE and they’re having a BABY
The Lost World
JEM AND TESSA ARE IN LOVE AND THEY’RE HAVING A BABY
ty u really did fuck up didn’t u
but he’s got a pet now so that’s nice
livvy ;_; 
i really hope they find a way to release her in twp 
i don’t think ty wants it, but things will come to a head. she’s not happy as a ghost. 
kit and ty are so fucking dumb just talk to each other!!
it’s so fitting that kit gave them the heron pendant
both in a sense of continuity and in the complexities of his feelings - on one hand it belonged to his mother, someone cared very much about him but on the other, it failed to save her
Forever Fallen
i ship kit with a family that loves him
jem just talks to him and is just internally like ‘wtf has everyone in your life done wrong’ 
jem and tessa: you are WORTHY and DESERVING of LOVE, BITCH! 
i want all of the domestic herondale-carstairs family 
i think i read the scene where jem and tessa put all of their stuff in kit’s room like 10 times it had me so shook 
“WE WANT YOU TO KNOW THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS HOUSE MORE PRECIOUS TO US THAN YOU” 
WE STAN SUPPORTIVE PARENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Janus is as annoying as real jace 
lily be safe bby ily this is gonna end baaaaad 
the scene at the end where jem tells kit that where there is love there is no need for gratitude also has me shook bc we’ve been talking about this a lot in my spanish class, about how so many of us are trained to be complacent and to show gratitude for things that should be a given
Overall, I really enjoyed the book even though some parts bored me and I kinda skimmed through. I’m reading Girls of Paper and Fire now, so we’ll see when I finish that!
