city of bones; my favorite moments
1. sassy alec and angry clary interaction
"Isabelle hails from one of the greatest Shadowhunter dynasties in history" Alec said dryly. "This girl, on the other hand, hails from New Jersey." "I'm from Brooklyn!" Clary was outraged.
2. clary and isabelle talk about alec being gay
"What, you can't be gay and a Shadowhunter?" "There's no official rule about it. But people don't like it. I mean, less with people our age- I think," she added, uncertainly, and Clary remembered how few other people her age Isabelle had ever really met. "But the older generation, no. If it happens, you don't talk about it." "Oh," said Clary, wishing she'd never mentioned it. "I love my brother," said Isabelle. "I'd do anything for him. But there's nothing I can do." "At least he has you," said Clary awkwardly,
3. clary appreciating alec's laugh and alec being alec
Alec made a chocking noise. After a moment Clary recognized it as laughter. He ought to do that more often. "We put the holy water in his gas tank, you know." he said. "ALEC," said Jace. "Shut up."
4. clary being jelaous of people who can raise their brows lol
Magnus raised an eyebrow. Damn, Clary thought, another one.
5. just, magnus saying this and me knowing that's true but one particular child might change that (*cough* rafa *cough*)
"-I've watched you grow up. You're the only child I have ever watched grow up that way, you know."
6. just jace and alec being jace and alec
"It's not gray," Clary felt compelled to point out. "It's green." "If there was such thing as terminal literalism, you'd have died in childhood." said Jace,
Alec looked impressed. "I didn't know that." Jace hopped up on the windowsill and swung his legs. "Not all of us sleep through history lessons." "I do not-" "Oh, yes you do, and drool on the desk besides."
7. magnus and The Gang shenanigans
"Move it along, teenagers. The only person who gets to canoodle in my bedroom is my magnificent self." "Canoodle?" repeated Clary, never having heard the word before. "Magnificent?" repeated Jace, who was just being nasty. Magnus growled. The growl sounded like "Get out".
8. idk what's this but i marked the page
"We can't go around picking up every pile of dust in the place just in case it turns out to be Gregor in the morning," said a girl with sulky mouth and painted-on eyebrows. "Gregor will be fine. I rarely sweep," soothed Magnus.
"Hey, pretty thing," he said. "What's in the bag?" "Holy water," said Jace, reappearing beside her as if he'd been conjured up like a genie. A sarcastic blond genie with a bas attitude. "Ooh, a Shadowhunter," said the vampire. "Scary." With a wink he melted back in the crowd. "Vampires are such prima donnas," Magnus sighed from the doorway. "Honestly I don't know why I have these parties." "Because of your cat," Clary reminded him. Magnus perked up. "That's true. Chairman Meow deserves my every effort.
Jace nodded. "Don't wanna overstay our welcome." "What welcome?" Magnus asked. "I'd say it was a pleasure to meet you, but it wasn't. Not that you aren't all fairly charming, and as for you-" He dropped a glittery wink at Alec, who looked astounded. "Call me?". Alec blushed and stuttered and probably would have stood there all night if Jace hadn't grasped his elbow and hauled him toward the door,
9. clary and jace inside a church finding weapons and jace being jace
"Jesus," said Clary. "I doubt he'd fit." "Jace." Clary was appalled.
10. most of this post is just jace being jace so here's another one
"What are you doing here, anyway?" 'Here' as in your bedroom or 'here' as in the great spiritual question of our purpose here on this planet? If you're asking whether it's all just cosmic coincidence or there's a greater meta-ethical purpose to life, well, that's a puzzle for the ages. I mean, simple ontological reductionism is clearly a fallacious argument, but-" "I'm going back to bed." Clary reached for the doorknob.
11. this is just funny in hindsight when you think about it like simon did here
"We know where the Mortal Cup is, and we're prepared to go get it. The only thing is, we need a car." He laughed again. "Sorry, are you telling me that your demon-slaying buddies need to be driven to their next assignation with the forces of darkness by my mom?"
12. bickering jace and alec
"But you said there wasn't much demonic activity- you said levels were low!" "They were low," Jace growled. "Your version of low must be different from mine!" Alec shouted,
13. idk this is just funny to me
"Let me guess," said Clary. "On the inside it's an abandoned police station; from the outside, mundanes only see a condemned apartment building, or a vacant lot, or..." "Actually, it looks like a Chinese restaurant from the outside," Luke said. "Takeout only, no table service." "A Chinese restaurant?" Clary echoed in disbelief. He shrugged. "Well, we are in Chinatown. This was the Second Precinct building once." "People must think it's weird that there's no phone number to call for orders." Luke grinned. "There is. We just don't answer it much. Sometimes, if they are bored, some of the cubs will deliver someone some mu shu pork." "You're kidding." "Not at all. The tips come in handy."
14. isabelle is such a mood
Isabelle shrugged. "I guess he heard about it somewhere. He does seem to be hooked into enormous gossip network he's such a girl." "He's the High Warlock of Brooklyn, Isabelle," Alec reminded her, but not without some amusement.
15. alec joking with clary who thinks he is stupid and hot at the same time. same clary, same.
"I should have guessed you were Jace's sister," he said. "You both have the same artistic talent." Clary paused, her foot on the lowest stair. She was taken aback. "Jace can draw?" "Nah." When Alec smiled, his eyes lit like blue lamps, and Clary could see what Magnus had found so captivating about him. "I was just kidding. He can't draw a straight line." Chuckling, he swung on his crutches. Clary watched him go, bemused. An Alec who cracked jokes and poked fun at Jace was something she could get used to, even if his sense of humor was somewhat inexplicable.
