My favourite detail is that the backgrounds in these drawings reflect the characters and how they relate to each other. Clary is the sky and Simon is the moon and stars, but Jace is the sun. Simon is dark, the night’s child, and Jace is light, a child of the angels. Clary dreamed of Jace with bright golden wings, and Simon with dark black wings. Jace is brought back by an angel, Simon is taken away by a demon.
Like at first he'd be scared but after a while he'd just be really chilled about it, and the kidnappers would get so annoyed.
Kidnapper: If your friends don't give me the i formation i need, I'll break that pretty little face of yours-
Simon: aw you think I'm pretty?
Kidnapper: you won't be talking like that when i break your fingers one by one, cut them off and feed them to you. If they dont come soon-
Simon: dude, i get it. You'll kill me. Unless i die of boredom first. Do you ever stop talking? I mean I've been told i never stop talking but jeez, you're getting a bit much.
Kidnapper: I -
Simon: do you ever wonder why you exist? I mean, I know I was conceived, but why am I actually here? How many random events occurred to create me? What if i were to just dissapear. Would people notice? Would they cry? Being kidnapped gives you afew perspectives on just how terrifyingly random life is. I wouldn't have ever been able to read lord of the Rings. Oh. You look confused. You've never read it? That's ok, I'll tell it to you, we have all the time in the world. So it starts with this...
Kidnapper: * unties him*
Simon: what are you-
Kidnapper: just.. Just go.
Kidnapper: we have your vampire friend.
Izzy: Simon?
Kidnapper: Yes. And if you want him back, we want all information on Valentine and the Mortal Cup.
Clary: Trust me, that won't be necessary.
Alec: Yeah, you took Simon. Good luck with that.
Kidnapper: Wha-?
Call hangs up
Kidnapper: ...
Simon: So, have you watched Star Wars?
Okay but Jace and Simon’s friendship is literally so iconic?? They go from the enemies to awkward allies to begrudging friends. And then Simon loses his memory and you think that’s that but then he somehow gets it in his head that he and Jace are best bros and now they’re just hanging out and being buddies and hugging all the time?? It’s like their entire friendship is based on a misunderstanding but it’s totally not, we know they love each other but who knows how much longer it would have taken them to admit they love each other if amnesiac Simon didn’t just decide they were bffs all the sudden. Anyway I love their dynamic, unparalleled really
Kit, who ran away to another continent when Ty turned him down: guys it's not funny
Julian, who probably gave Emma a UTI after the beach scene: it really is
Will, who called Tessa a prostitute and insulted her at every opportunity: I can't stop laughing
Alec, who fell down the stairs after his first date with Magnus: you're right, Kit. you should drunk dial him.
Magnus, who at one point dated Camille Belcourt: I'll get the wine
Simon, who accidentally cheated on Isabelle once: I'll dial
Jace:
Shout out too @heronsthornx on TikTok because this is the most accurate representation I’ve seen of there friendship.
Proof:
I just have to ask. Are the divergent books worth reading? Theres so much hype about it so i got the first book and tris is so annoying. She's so typical: "I'm so small and everyone underestimates me" "I love you but I'm not supposed to" "my friends are all jealous of me".. Gurl if you dont stfu i swear. I've read the first one, does it get better? And its written in first person. Do i have to deal with her annoying commentary for the whole series or is there some other perspective? Its not just that steriotype. I liked clary in tmi because she had those steriotypes but they didn't make up her entire character. I liked izzy in -"the exsct opposite of okay" because of the same reasons. But with tris, that's pretty much the only character she has. I keep expecting her to do something even slightly unpredictable and she never does... Just wanted to ask the community if the other books are better than the first one.
I need to see simon, jace and kit meet. My life is not complete until I get a scene with those three.
Okay but why is no one talking about the fact that Kit is basically what would happen if Jace and Simon had a baby.
Blonde and beautiful
With arrogance problem
But also nerdy af
Makes pop culture references no one else gets
Is annoyed by the stunning beauty of shadowhunters
Loathes exercising
Okay he’s maybe even a little more Simon than Jace
Does anyone else wonder how Izzy’s alcoholism-adjacent habits will play out in her relationship with Simon, whose mother was an alcoholic? He spend his formative years around alcohol abuse, I wonder how the dynamic will affect him and how the two of them deal with it. I would request a fic but I unfortunately do not know where to do so (despair, sadness).
