a very merry holiday season from me here at bookclarysupremacy

i really want to thank all of you who have decided to come along on this journey with me. i'm not sure if i've ever publicly told the story if this blog here, but i think it's worth it.

i made this blog in march of 2021 - it was a year into the pandemic, i was still a newly-minted adult, i had recently moved to a new city (alone), and i was in a seriously deep funk as spring was approaching. i've been in tumblr on my main since about 2018, and then on other accounts before my current one. In the midst of my funk, I decided to re-read one of my favorite series from when i was younger, for a little nostalgia. it started with picking up a copy of city of bones at a second hand bookstore - and rereading the series was like meeting an old friend.

i blew through the first 3 books in about 2 weeks - and then, wanting to talk about it, i made this blog. those of you who were here in the beginning probably remember my early posts and memes about tmi - and my first post to go kind of viral.

i had expected blogging about the series would be a bit like shouting into the void of the internet - but it wasn't.

you liked what i had to say. you followed me. you dm'd me and you asked me questions about my theories.

you became my friends.

it blows my mind that in 9 months this blog has amassed several hundreds of followers. i'm so glad i've been able to share this - my love of reading, and my many thoughts on it - with all of you.

books do really have the power to change us, and i can vouch for that first hand. i got the in-person help i needed for what i was struggling with, and all the while, this blog and my books have given me a necessary escape when i've needed it.

and i can't stress this enough: it gets better. no matter how terrible things seem in the moment, it truly gets better. find the little things that spark happiness, and grab them with both hands. the world is full of possibilities for you, and the fictional world is no exception.

here's to another year, and to another adventure - together.

If there is one thing I pettily redcon in my head it’s the Ari-Charles friendship. I refuse to believe they’re supposed to be the WLW-MLM alliance when Alastair was right there since ChoI.

[shadowmythe]

I don't believe Charles has friends, frankly

everyday i thank god tsc isn't mainstream because i don't think i'd able to survive dudebros claiming will and jem are brothers and that shipping herongraystairs is weird. "men can't be friends anymore" no jeff, they can't

[bookclarysupremacy]

and the insufferable "it's unethical to ship parabatais because they're basically siblings so it's basically incest" discourse we would have... i'd die i think.

when i was eighteen back in 2020 (what a time) i was so unbelievably depressed and couldn't bring myself to do anything, was flunking my classes, and ykw i did? i re-read my favorite book series from when i was 12, became re-obsessed with it, made a tumblr blog dedicated to it and by live-blogging my re-read and creating a truly prodigious amount of fanfiction and memes, i managed to put one foot in front of the other. now, i'm not saying the cure for clinical depression and a worldwide apocolyptic pandemic is tsc, but i'm also not not saying that. medication, therapy, and some hard bumps were involved to but unironically, this blog was my reason to stick around for a while there.

also hi! i'm twenty-three now and feel like another re-read. i am no longer morbidly depressed, i finished college, i'm thinking about applying to medical school (whoa??? who'd have thought???), i have a job i love working with at-risk teens and all in all, life's pretty good.

oh, and i still write fanfiction. some things never change.

Letter from Clary to Jace (for Kickstarter)

[written for Theresa]

Dear Clary,

You said you wanted me to write you a letter for your birthday, so here I am, writing that letter. At first I thought that maybe you weren’t serious. After all, we live in the same house. We are not separated by time, dimensions, or the turbulent ocean, which are the usual reasons people write letters.

 I thought maybe you were being self-effacing, that you just didn’t want me to go to any trouble, especially when we have wedding planning coming up (hopefully soon—since we’re waiting on a peace process, it could be a while). 

So I came up with the idea of taking you on a flying motorcycle to see the Northern Lights, but when I suggested it you said no, you only wanted a letter. 

I suggested we portal to the south of France and pick lavender and have a picnic, but you said no, you wanted a letter. 

I suggested we use our Shadowhunter skills to break into the Met so you could stand in front of every painting for as long as you want, but you said no, you’d rather have a letter. 

I suggested we portal to the Tokyo International Anime Fair, because I remembered you saying you’d always wanted to go, but you said no, you’d rather have a letter. 

I suggested I could find you the best, most beautiful sword that you’d ever seen, and had your initials carved into it, or a subtle message like “I <3 Jace” but you said no, you’d rather have a letter.

And then I realized that while we have had an amazing time together all these years, and  we’ve always gone around the world and seen incredible things, that things are different now. Now there is a shadow hanging over everything, the shadow of the situation in Alicante. And I realized that what you actually wanted is something you can keep with you that reminds you of hope.

So let me tell you, in this letter, why you should hope. 

Because no matter what we are facing, we are still us, Jace and Clary. We still have our friends and the people who love us. We have faced so much together, and we have always come out of the darkness into light. And in the end, I believe that love will always win out against hate, because I have faced some of the greatest evil that has ever been known, and the strength I have found in how much I love you has always carried me through. So keep this letter with you, even the in dark moments. Especially in the dark moments. I hope that it brings you comfort to know that I love you more than life itself. And if it doesn’t, remember: You could have had a flying motorcycle ride to see the Northern Lights, and you turned it down.

yours, 

Jace

i love tmi era alec and isabelle because while clary and jace are having their whole incest world is ending how do we kill sebastian freakout they’re just very quietly doing balls to the walls insane shit in the background. two dumb bitches telling each other exactlyyy. alec calls isabelle while he’s meant to be on his romantic getaway vacation to paris and tells her he needs her to do research on an obscure warlock cult but can’t give her any specific details and she just goes ‘okay 🩷 yay 🩷’ and offers to break the law for him. alec gets dumped and isabelle decides that the most appropriate reaction to this is to amass a harassment campaign and blow up his ex’s voicemails telling him to get back with her brother Or Else. alec repeatedly walks in on her and simon doing regency roleplay in CoHF and is more concerned with the fact that she’s making out with someone in a life or deaths situation than the whole roleplay part. isabelle repeatedly conspires to plan his wedding behind his back and goes on a one woman quest to get him a boyfriend. they’re besties. they’re worsties. the only reason why they seem like remotely sane voices of reason is because sebastian and clary are so fucked up that alec and isabelle seem like totally normal cool not at all codependent siblings in comparison

[eliotquillon]

‘why weren’t alec and isabelle more grossed out by the clace incest era’ apart from jace alec and isabelle’s only friends are each other . with all the love in the world I don’t think we should be looking to them for healthy sibling relationship advice

i said it was my favorite piece of media that i’ve hyperfixated on since the tender age of 12 and have not let go of since. i didnt say it was a Good piece of media

[stuckinapril]

“what do you like about it so much?” the fact that it cocooned me like a tender wool blanket during my vulnerable teenage years. next question

the only problem with having a bike powered by demon energies is that jace can never give clary a ride to buy art supplies when the stores are actually open - i guess the starlit midnight rides instead more than make up for it 💫
