Something to Address
Disclaimer: I have nothing to be jealous of when I deleted my instagram account months ago, but I am genuinely upset at the situation. The fandom (and Cassie) deserves to know the truth.
If you’ve read Cassie’s newsletter this morning (or yesterday, depending on time), then you know she’s started her promotional project for Chain of Iron, called The Letter Game. I won’t go into too much detail because the premise of the idea isn’t what’s important– it’s about who is involved.
I’m nervous to talk about this but this has to be talked about. For Thursday, tsc.updates on instagram is doing one of the promotional pieces. But if you know who runs the account, then you might know they’re also the person who ran shadowsconfess. And if you were around when that account existed, then you know there was a lot (and I mean A LOT) of controversy that steamed from almost every confession post made.
When shadowsconfess was a thing, there was a lot of discourse surrounding the controversial things that were shared. One of the biggest things was their hate for Jem, and from that came a lot of people who sought out shadowsconfess as their gateway to be hateful and bigoted towards Jem (and many other characters, specifically POC). Now, I am not saying someone isn’t allowed to dislike a character, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but what I am saying is that shadowsconfess didn’t check those hateful confessions, like the racist ones, or the sexist ones, and it honestly played such a huge role in ruining the fandom and community. Arguments were happening left and right, and it was hard to remain neutral especially when it came to differing opinions (especially about Will, it was considered awful if you disliked him).
Here is an example of what I mean by allowing bigoted confessions (coloring out usernames for obvious reasons):
Overtime, shadowsconfess would post other opinions of theirs, specifically about their heavy dislike of Cassandra Clare. One of their biggest things was how they hated her, how they were a firm believer of separating the art from the artist. Which is fine, but given the fact that they’re currently working with CC… make it make sense. Shit doesn’t add up.
They were also known for having the scoop on what CC feels towards her characters, such as her disliking Will (prob because of the CP2 epilogue and jessa being canon in the future books). Going back to the hate on Jem, they has a history of disliking POC characters. Like Maia and Alastair, the former reminding her of someone (same argument made against Jem) and the latter being because he’s a bully and not wanting redemption for him. Like I said, it’s okay to dislike a character but this is a pattern. A racist/prejudiced one.
There’s also this on their tumblr where they try and compare Alastair’s suffering from racism (he is half-Persian) to his bullying of James Herondale having demon blood in his veins as to being the same thing. Idk what to make of it, but it’s fucking weird. I’m sorry, but that’s not the same thing. Not at all.
When they deleted shadowsconfess and made tsc.updates, they kept their tellonym. And here they went along with others making fun of Cassandra Clare’s appearance, where they berated Alastair’s character, etc.
There have been other instances where they have been awful, such as comparing Cassie to h*tler and jumping on the bandwagon of hating her because of the incest plotline in TMI. Many people I know have gotten into an argument with her and/or their friends over these issues, and for the most part we’ve asked that a lot of this hate and negativity to stop. But there has been a bruise left on the TSC fandom because of things like this, and now CC has her promoting Chain of Iron, which leads into this point:
I am not making this post to be spiteful, or to “re-hash old feuds,” but instead I am pointing out how unfair it is that someone who claims to hate Cassandra Clare and has caused a lot of damage to this fanbase gets to work with her. There are plenty of fans who would die to have been part of this project, and unfortunately this has turned into one of those things that happens when someone doesn’t research a person they collaborate with. There are a bunch of other things that have been said and done but I know I can’t bring them up without proper proof, but I hope what I have shown here is enough.
I have been wanting to talk about this since I read CC’s newsletter this morning, but I am nervous to post this due to the way I’ve been treated when calling tsc.updates/shadowsconfess out on their bs in the past. I don’t care that they don’t post confessions anymore, but point still stands that there has been harm done. And on an obvious note, don’t send hate to them. Instead hold them accountable for their actions. Because that’s what this post is for.
So Cassie, if you read this, please reconsider working with them in the future.
I never got to see any of this person’s stuff but because of people like them, I don’t like to be “in the fandom” anymore, if that makes sense. I’ll always love the books and the characters, but I can’t stand to be here with people like this around.
I haven’t actually read Chain of Gold yet but I’ve had so many spoilers, I was fine with going through some of the reblogs on this. There’s screenshots from someone, talking about the age difference, where in 16 is the age of consent in the UK. Yes that’s true but, it’s the consenting age of sex, but when there someone under 16 and over 16, that is when everything becomes tricky (I’m probably not wording that right because it’s been a while since I’ve looked anything like that up).
The racism and the demon blood? I truly don’t understand that link at all to be honest. And I really do hope that @cassandraclare sees this, because she should understand the people she chooses to work with. Clearly no research had been done, or she’d know how vehemently this person dislikes Cassie herself and what seems to be mostly the POC characters in her books.
I’m not even surprised she’s caught in all this. I’m glad someone called her out

I had yet to express myself on this blog about the black lives matter movement and everything that’s been going on in the world lately. I’m here now to show my support and make it clear how important it is to me to fight for any basic human rights, to stand together against racism, to raise our voices and be loud.
I thought a lot about how I could do it by staying true to the essence of this blog, in the end I’ve decided to put together some of the strongest poc women of The Shadowhunter Chronicles by @cassandraclare
Maia Roberts - an abuse survivor; Diana Wrayburn - a trans black woman; Ariadne Bridgestock - a lesbian woman, an orphan; Hypatia Vex - a bisexual woman, a fighter for equality: Catarina Loss - a nurse, a warlock who decides to appear as dark skinned while glamoured;
We should reflect on how crucial and lucky it is for us to be able to read of such incredible role models in books nowadays.
As a last thought I just want to say: women are powerful, we are a force, we are valid and important. It doesn’t matter our skin color, our sexual orientation, our age. If we stand together in communion and acceptance, we can truly change the world.
