Nothing, and I mean nothing, is more useful to writers than pregnant people's baby name webs.

Nobody, and I mean nobody, spends more time on pregnant people's baby name webs than writers.

I have never suffered more in my life, needles to say I now recommend it to all of my friends

I'm not kidding when I say that after finishing lord of shadows I had to punch the wall a couple of times, eventually got up and started pacing around my room, head in hands, then buckled up laughing in disbelief. had to check the book to verify did this actually happen.

Growing up with really strict parents is crazy, man, because why do I have to teach all of my friends without strict parents how to lie and keep a secret? Like…girl. 🤨

They're going to find out if you keep acting as if people can't see you, talk, and end in their ears. Precaution. Ninja skills. Adapt to your surroundings.

Izzy lightwood nation are yall up for a fanart

In conclusion, Izabelle Lightwood is perfect, and has done nothing wrong, ever.

Being a writer is hard, what do you mean I can write the most beautiful poetry and flawless texts marvelous enough to awe Brönte or Dostoyevsky at 3 am but then I can't speak a sentence without either cursing like a sailor or pulling the most vulgar metaphors. Who dared to curse me in such a torturous and medieval way, forcing me to speak like I was born in the lower years of the 2000's, which I indeed was (but that's not the point).

I don’t think any shadowhunter character will ever truly haunt the narrative the way Sebastian does

I'll go ahead and say it. THERE IS NO BETTER DUO THAN THE ONE OF A SECRETLY POSSIBLY DANGEROUS MAN BUT SUPER CALM AND CHILL AND HIS BATSHIT MURDEROUS (extra points if she's a vampire) AND EXTREMELY DISTURBING DARK POETIC LOOKING GIRLFRIEND.

And that was the presentation on how most of how my book will 100% evolve. "I will kill you. One day. But right now I really like you. Also, you couldn't hurt a fly, although you def look like you could."

I think it’s very interesting that Alec’s full name is Alexander.

Alexander means ‘man’s defender’ which is often his tactical position during fights. He defends the perimeter with his bow and often gets the brunt of attacks.

Although it fits perfectly with his identity as a Shadowhunter, it also fits nicely with his personality.

Alec is very defensive over the people he loves:

- He threatens Clary over Jace

- Kills Meliorn when searching for Magnus (insane moment that cemented him as my favourite character)

- Was adverse to Simon dating his sister (who he’s extremely protective of)

“Where's Simon?" Clary interrupted.

Isabelle wobbled. "He's a rat," she said darkly.

Did he do something to you?" Alec was full of brotherly concern. "Did he touch you? If he tried anything-"

No, Alec," Isabelle said irritably. "Not like that. He's a rat."

Even with his sons he’s always defending them, he worked hard to make sure Rafael was adopted properly.

Not to mention all the things he does for the Downworlder community.

Alec spent a lot of his life worrying about being unable to live up to expectations, only to become what his name represented.

Alexander doesn’t just mean defender, bro IS the defender 🔥
