robert lightwood's character is so crazy like in tmi he's just alec's homophobic dad and then all of sudden your reading his internal monologues about how he doesn't like women and feels like he's performing in nearly every aspect of his life and how weirdly close him and his bestie (who's in love with him) are. like huh.

rereading tftsa now, specifically the evil we love, is odd. because in the WEIRDEST way possible and a way i never would think to read robert, his narrative in the story almost reads like a queer/aro character. and let me be clear i DONT mean the cheating LMFAO. hes still shitty for that. looking at other women. but the way he describes feeling as if something was wrong with him (not just for looking at women who were not maryse) and he was missing something fundamentally. that he didnt understand what ‘real’ love was and that he couldnt imagine a life outside/beyond/more important than his partnership with michael. the description of it is almost alarmingly personal to me. the way he sees michael as his only constant relationship, like a platonic life partner. it just makes me think of my journey and others’ and feelings about being aromantic and trying to parse out romantic attraction. anyways. hes still shitty and it makes me want to cry and sob what happened between michael and him and i wish they wouldve just kissed and made up fr…..sigh

#tsc #tftsa #the evil we love #robert lightwood #michael wayland #waywood #like am i making sense #someone tell me they get it #like i never would have made this comparison without rereading it now #because its been so long and ive been through this journey and tjough process myself now #maryse lightwood #maryse trueblood #like i one hundred oercent that was NOT cassies intention #and not what she was trying to do #but i do see it #like #quite glaringly #im not gonna lie and be like..u guys…canon aromantic robert…thats why… #like no #but u know what i mean #its important to me because i like how she uses words to describe that narrative

For Robert, thinking about Michael is a good distraction from thinking about himself, and wondering how Michael's curls would feel in his hands is a distraction he weirdly wants to indulge. Or, Robert may be as curious about Michael as Michael is about him.

hello elle! i've noticed you haven't posted as much as usual and i figured that's something every writer goes through but i'm rooting for you! right now i'm trying to work on a waywood longfic that i hope to start posting this year 😅

hope things go fine for you, you always have my best wishes. since you said you're open to anything, maybe do you feel like to write more waywood? you'll have my enthusiasm and joy supporting you 😆

from the prompt list you posted, some i felt that waywood could go for were 4, 5, 7, 22, 47, 189 and 193. of course, you should only write what you feel like writing ☺️

(Read on AO3)

People always say that children can be cruel, but they often overlook the fact that they take after the equally heartless adults who raise them.

It was one thing when the other students taunted Robert for his family history - whenever he does too well, or too poorly, it’s either ‘good to know you’re smarter than a worm’ or ‘what did you expect from a Lightworm?’. Robert was used to that. No matter how far his family came, no matter how much distance they put between themselves and Benedict’s legacy, it never seemed to be enough.

It was another thing to have one of the Institute’s Professors step in to break up a fight and say “Why am I not surprised to find a Lightwood at the heart of another problem?” when Robert had done nothing wrong. He’d never done anything wrong. He’d done nothing but his best to keep turning his family name into something positive, something to be proud of. It was never enough. He was never enough.

And the one person who thought Robert was enough, Robert pushed away.

Robert didn’t wait for the Professor to finish before he turned, started running, and didn’t look back.

Robert hadn’t spoken to Michael in days now… or was it weeks? And yet in this moment, getting more lost by the second as he made his way through the pitch-black forest, everything inside of him screamed for Michael’s company.

Robert tripped over a root, or a rock and fell hard to the ground below. He felt a cut across his knee, the pain of a twisted muscle in his wrist, and even though he could get up if he wanted to he chose not to. He sat there, on the cold, hard ground, and his heart, mind, and soul all yearned for Michael to be by his side.

He didn’t know how long he sat there. He thought he may just stay on the ground forever, honestly. The next thing Robert knew, he heard the crunching of branches approaching, and then Michael was by his side.

“You’re hurt,” Michael said, reaching down for Robert. It wasn’t a question.

“Why are you here?” Robert asked, pulling his arm away from Michael’s reach and immediately regretting the action as a new sting of pain traveled from his wrist up the length of his arm.

“You’re hurt,” Michael repeated.

“The last time we spoke…” Robert trailed off.

“You were a proper asshole,” Michael confirmed, already pulling out his stele.

“Then why are you here?” Robert repeated.

“Because I could feel you out here, Robert. Hurting. Calling for me through our bond, whether you meant to or not. We’re parabatai…” Michael hesitated, but only for a second before pushing forward. “...and I love you. I told you that I’d never leave you; I’m not going anywhere.”

Michael held his stele over Robert’s healing rune, looking at Robert expectantly. Even after all this, he wanted to respect any boundaries Robert might set. Robert nodded slowly, closing his eyes against the comforting sensation of his parabatai activating his rune spread through him.

He didn’t know what to say. He wasn’t sure what he could say that would excuse his past actions, or show Michael the sort of appreciation he deserved for staying even now. Why should Michael bother to come all the way out here and help the person who kept trying to push him away?

But Michael was his Parabatai, and Robert should’ve known better than to think he’d have to say anything at all. In the silence that fell between them, Michael seemed to read his mind.

“I will always choose you, Robert. Even if you won’t always choose me.”

Robert didn’t deserve Michael, didn't deserve his reassurance and comfort... but just as Michael chose to be here, Robert could choose to accept it. 

And he did.

Michael Wayland

“Love?” Michael smiled down at his hands. “Love, real love, is being seen. Being known. Knowing the ugliest part of someone, and loving them anyway. And … I guess I think two people in love become something else, something more than the sum of their parts, you know? That it must be like you’re creating a new world that exists just for the two of you. You’re gods of your own pocket universe.”

hello followers!

i have tried to be a stronger person so i logged in here again.

of course i have been absolutely thrilled with the recent waywood news so a recap:

early april, cassandra jean posted this.

Been working on the thumbnails for TMI volume 6! I have reached the scene where everyone sees someone they love. It would be a shame if I were to... draw Robert... and an even bigger shame if my hand were to slip oh no Michaeeell oh dear. guess that will stay. oh no i hit save.

as tmi graphic novel vol. 6 is the adaptation of the second half of city of glass, it includes the scene in which clary uses one of ver new runes to make everyone in the room see the person they love the most when they look at her (luke saw jocelyn, alec saw magnus, amatis saw stephen, jocelyn saw clary). i have always wondered if robert saw michael and looks like cassandra jean plans to make this answer canon through the graphic novel.

pointless to try to convey how this makes me feel. moving on,

april 6th cassandra jean reseted my whole existence posting this

Waywood doodle.

Been waiting 21 years.

there's so much going on and definitely more than i can handle. i am so grateful for this because it really enlightened me so much. i am obsessed with robert's face looking at michael in the second panel and their hug... i can't live. this art fits very well as a imediate prequel to the other afterlife waywood art that was the last waywood art we got before this one (in 2018! i have been waiting a long time!) and i am so happy cassandra jean still remember them - i assume she got inspired by drawing robert for the graphic novel (and i absolutely adore his graphic novel design, it's all i could wish for him). waywood love each other so much!

the running joke of robert's height is something that twists my mind because the evil we love made the timeline of robert's height very weird but i can totally let cassandra jean have this because it's her world i'm living in at the moment.

i don't think we got cassandra clare's public instance on this one by the way. the former one got her caption that semi-canonizes it but this one unfortunately not. i can't bring myself to care about this right now though!

april 19th the graphic novel vol. 5 came out, being the adaptation of the events of the first half of city of glass and it included some heartbreaking robert lightwood artwork that i don't know how to process. cassandra jean has really been feeding me while crushing me at the same time and she has all my support in doing so.

after robert's cameo was removed from the lost book of the white and turned into mentions, the graphic novels are the only canon robert content i am supposed to get and i am in peace with it. i know he is not a major character and these things happen. i will be ready to enjoy all crumbs.
