been very shadowhunter pilled and now very malec pilled so I decided to read the stories of malec adopting their kids and I can't stop grinning at how cute they are?? wdym someone left max on the doorstep of the academy saying no one could love him and alec immediately falls in love when he sees him. rafe disliking alec at first but loving magnus instantly through a phone screen. max being absolutely doted over by the lightwoods to the point where they all find it tragic that clary doesn't want to hold a baby?? lets not even get into jace and how he wants to turn max into a shadowhunter and max believing he can be one. max desperately wanting a sibling and congratulating alec on finding one. max fascinated by shadowhunters getting a shadowhunter brother fascinated by magic. lightwood-bane family you're everything.

Bridges for the make me write!

I am late filling these in, but since I am home for the next few days, here is a first snippet! (Also, if anyone wants to send me Make me Writes, please feel free to do so!)

In the end, it’s not Jace who tracks him down. It’s Colton. He only gets another ten minutes before a knock stops his train of thought and turns his focus to Magnus’ entrance door. Alec isn’t sure he manages to hide his surprise when the door opens to reveal a familiar frown, holding an even more familiar book—one Alec last remembers being in his bedroom. In the institute. “It didn’t work at home,” Colton says, looking equal measures scared and relieved. His left hand clenches around the stele he’s holding, clutching Alec’s book closer to his chest. “It just kept spinning.” Alec can’t remember the last time he saw his generally aloof trainee so visibly upset.

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.

1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.

2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.

3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.

4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.

5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.

Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.

Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.

moxxie: i used to think stolas was out of blitzo's league because he was a prince. and then i got to know him. moxxie: now i know he's out of blitzo's league because he's really smart and funny and nice and talented and-

Many people are very fixated with the fact Stolas has a friend and I understand why. He's been so isolated, no positive relationships aside Octavia and his dysfunctional deal with Blitz. It's so good to see him connecting with someone else and expanding his circle.

But this is also a big deal for Moxxie. Sure, he wasn't as lonely as Stolas. He loves Millie and Blitz, but they are far more similar to each other than to him. Millie and Blitz are best friends for a reason. They both share their love for violence, and while they indulge Moxxie by watching musicals with him, they don't enjoy it at all. Now, with Stolas there, it's the first time Moxxie has someone with the same sensibilities and interests as him, a kindred spirit that will indulge him not only out of love, but out of the same passion for arts as he has. Vivzie said during an interview that Stolas was the piece that was missing in IMP and you have a good example as to why in this last short.

Man, that friendship was meant to be. I've always known their dynamic was gonna be something like we've seen today. I hope there is enough time to explore it more in the next season.
