So, my bestie is finally reading Lord of Shadows and while some things are clear, some haven’t clicked just yet… she’ll get there. I did start her on TID so it’s on me for her expecting some wild circumstances to allow this to resolve into some form of monogamy.

Release Me by Tahereh Mafi is a cliche, cheesy metaphor riddled, fan-servicing, plot-less book that wouldn’t pass the 2026 publishing vibe check if not for being a series spinoff with heavy OG series character involvement.

I’m eating it up.

I’m convinced that for every Mortal Instruments book, the narrators were told they couldn’t use any of the last two accents the characters were recorded with, their narration itself needed to contrast the accent of the previous narrator, and they had to reinvent the pronunciations for all of the world-specific terminology in a way that had never even been imagined.

It’s actually criminally bad.

I’m begging someone to re-record The Mortal Instruments audiobooks with consistent narrators, accents, and pronunciations.

Please.

I just finished a reread of City of Bones and it seems that in the years since I last read it, I forgot how much of the book is about RatSimon™️.

Largely demon-based.”

I’m begging @cassandraclare for news about The Wicked Powers. Cassie, I’d give more than I should disclose online for even a morsel of information.

tell me this isn't James to Cordelia:

Daisy, always climbing up the same tree

Finding love in all the wrong scenes, Daisy, you got me Daisy, always walking down the wrong streets

Starting fires out of dead weeds, Daisy, you got me

Let me show you how a kiss should taste

Trust me, I won't give your heart away

Why you running, running when you got it right here?

Oh, I would love you if you let me

Daisy, always dancing to the same beat

Broken record stuck on repeat, Daisy, you got me Daisy, don't you know that you're amazing?

Broken hearts just keeps on breaking, Daisy

I would take the light out of the stars to help you see

Anything to guide you straight to me

Daisy by Zedd

Jace & Alec as things my friends have said (pt. 2)

Alec: I had an important thought. Jace: I'm an important thot. Jace: I CAN SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL! Alec: That's your desk lamp. Jace: Is that blood or food? Alec: I don't know. Alec: I don't think that's a hill to die on. Jace: But I will kill other people on it. Alec: You have a hamster? Jace: Barely... sometimes. Jace: I can't go to jail, I don't look good in orange. Alec: You don't look good, period.

when your mom is encouraging you to be yourself but also has an image to uphold as POTUS:

"The next slide is entitled: 'Exploring your sexuality: Healthy, but does it have you be with the Prince of England?' She apologizes for not having time to come up with better titles. Alex actively wishes for the sweet release of death."

you guys, I think that we are sleeping on the fact that Henry and Alex included excerpts from historical love letters in their emails to one another

the shadowhunter chronicles parabatai as things that my friends have said (pt. 3)

James: Do you want to know something really upsetting?

Matthew: Is it vagina related?

Simon: Is that an Oreo in the bed?

Clary: Yes.. I had two, I guess that I didn’t want the third.

Emma: We can’t draw suspicious- I mean suspicion.

Julian: How does one draw suspicious? What does that look like?
