How about you stop calling the movie cast "shitty"? You hate the movie sure whatever i don't care but calling people shitty is disrespectful

i’m referring to their shitty acting so maybe you should chill thanks

i think her story has something to do with depression? at least that’s what i got from the fandom

It’s... possible, I guess? I mean, she did deal with trauma which can and does start depressions but like... she could still do some things? Idk it bothers me that she’s always shown as a passive character who looks pretty and smiles when Will’s here and... not much else. Depression prevents a lot of people from doing things, that’s true, but that doesn’t mean they never make decisions ever.

And the only thing significant she does in the finale (without anyone else taking over) is not even shown so it’s not exactly a good thing eithe r:/

yeah, they definitely have gone through at least one serious fight to became bros (not that i consider Jace a good friend but you get my point)

Yes! I love imagining them as clashing personalities before they become so close and Alec kind of used to Jace almost dying every day. But imagine him almost having a heart attack when Jace pulls his first stunt on a hunt. :D I’m also sure that that moment in CoG wasn’t the first time Alec ordered Jace to ‘heal like a mundane’.

(Me neither, but I like to ignore the book-stuff in favor of the great potential of the friendship that could have been. :D)

well i just want to point out that the actress who plays Camille is of Chinese & Irish descent, not latin@, that's all

Oh, thanks for the correction! I must have checked the wrong source so, thanks for the precision, I’ll edit the post right away :)

Questions: who spend money on clothing every months??? idk if $51,58 can buy a lot of things in America or not but i think normally ppl will buy new clothes every few months. And why kind of education Jocelyn has to pay for?

Well personally I don’t spend money on clothes every month but I know some people do. That being said, I’m mostly working on an average thing because that’s really just a way for me to give myself an idea of how Jocelyn could/would deal with money problems, more than something I need to know for the sake of the story.

Most of these are average costs in the US, which I used a generator for (I have the link somewhere in my posts) the only things I looked up were the rents for brownstones appartments in brooklyn and the average earnings of a tattoo artist (Jocelyn is not at the bottom of the scale here btw)

Also the “education” column is unclear, I know, but Jocelyn’s paying for Clary’s high school fees, as I wouldn’t expect a 15yo girl to pay for her own fee... but, due to money being tight, Clary has to pay of her extracuricular activities herself.

That being said, yeah, if I wanted to do an actual, month-by-month budget for them I wouldn’t include a ‘clothes’ column on every month :)

910707 replied to your post:Hey, you've talked a bit about how Magnus is bad...

Hmm, i dont’t know, maybe Alec & everyone else are just surprised. I mean I don’t recall Magnus stated anything about his sexuality in the first 3 books (correct me if i’m wrong) so everyone just assumed he is gay?

Well, now that I check, it's true the word bisexual doesn't appear until City of Lost Souls, and Magnus only says he's been with women in City of Fallen Angels, after Alec meets Camille, so I guess you could also interpret it as Alec being surprised.

It doesn't read that way to me however, not the way he phrases it:

“I am,” Magnus said, drawing off his gloves. “I’ll talk to Camille for you.” “Camille?” Alec looked at Magnus with his eyebrows raised. “You know her, then? Or—she knows you?” “We know each other.” Magnus shrugged, very slightly, as if to say, What can you do? “Once upon a time she was my girlfriend.”

[Chapter change]

“Your girlfriend?” Alec looked astonished. So did Maryse. Simon couldn’t say he was unastonished himself. “You dated a vampire? A girl vampire?” “It was a hundred and thirty years ago,” said Magnus. “I haven’t seen her since.” “Why didn’t you tell me?” Alec demanded. Magnus sighed. “Alexander, I’ve been alive for hundreds of years. I’ve been with men, been with women—with faeries and warlocks and vampires, and even a djinn or two.” He looked sideways at Maryse, who looked mildly horrified. “Too much information?” “It’s all right,” she said, though she sounded a little wan. “I have to discuss something with Kadir for a moment. I’ll be back.” She stepped aside, joining Kadir; they disappeared through the doorway. Simon took a few steps back as well, pretending to study one of the stained-glass windows intently, but his vampire hearing was good enough that he could hear everything Magnus and Alec were saying to each other, whether he wanted to or not. Camille, he knew, could hear it too. She had her head cocked to the side as she listened, her eyes heavy-lidded and thoughtful. “How many other people?” Alec asked. “Roughly.” Magnus shook his head. “I can’t count, and it doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is how I feel about you.” “More than a hundred?” Alec asked. Magnus looked blank. “Two hundred?” “I can’t believe we’re having this conversation now,” Magnus said, to no one in particular. Simon was inclined to agree, and wished they weren’t having it in front of him. “Why so many?” Alec’s blue eyes were very bright in the dimness. Simon couldn’t tell if he was angry. He didn’t sound angry, just very intense, but Alec was a shut-down person, and perhaps this was as angry as he ever got. “Do you get bored with people fast?” “I live forever,” Magnus said quietly. “But not everyone does.” Alec looked as if someone had hit him. “So you just stay with them as long as they live, and then you find someone else?” Magnus didn’t say anything. He looked at Alec, his eyes shining like a cat’s. “Would you rather I spent all of eternity alone?” Alec’s mouth twitched. “I’m going to find Isabelle,” he said, and without another word he turned and walked back into the Institute.

(I bolded the relevant sentence to make it easier to find, but the italics are Clare's).

While I agree part of it could be surprise, I can't read it that way because of this. Alec (and all his family) has prejudice against vampire, that's no secret. The way he phrases things here implies disbelief at the idea that Magnus would date a vampire, disbelief that could come from Magnus stating at some point that he wasn't into vampires (in which case it should have been shown in canon) or because Alec's prejudice caused him to disregard vampires as a viable dating option. In that perspective, the fact that he specifies a girl vampire can't sound like anything that an aggravating factor/circumstance in his mouth --at the very least, not to me.

Like, even if you read Alec's reaction as surprise that Magnus could have dated a woman, it's at the very least a sign that he considers monosexuality as the norm. Granted, it wouldn't be surprising for him to do so, for reasons linked to the books' context and to western society's conception of sexuality, but that doesn't make it less prejudiced tbh, and it's still invalidating Magnus' experience.

Also, the rest of the scene is written like Alec is angry at Magnus, and the way he's immediately hung up on knowing the number of people Magnus dated smells of slut-shaming at the very least. So I guess there is an element of surprise to Alec's reaction, but I don't think it erases the less savory aspects of it  tbh :/

ADDENDUM:

mummyholmesisupset replied to your post “910707 replied to your post:Hey, you’ve talked a bit about how Magnus...”

I've been on the receiving end of that sentence and that is definitely a monosexual slut-shaming& being scandalized at a bisexual's previous romantic/sexual history.
