I don’t trust people, who review books and call out a toxic relationship in one series, right before turning around to profess their love for Malec and CC’s writing.

Show!Alec went from “I don’t know what you’re talking about” to happily cooking awful food for his mom with his man in his man’s kitchen and Casserole Clam could never.
do y’all ever think about how utterly offended but also like mildly hella amused show!Magnus would be if he were forced to look at the pile of shit that CC wrote him into.. like that man did not literally go through hell to be called Gay Sonic and made to date a 17yr old biphobic fuckboy sorry
Me: *sees someone hating on Cassandra Clare's books* The calm, rational, logical side of my brain: Ignore them, they're ignorant and wrong, arguing with them is pointless, they're not worth your time, they probably haven’t even read the books, they're just trying to piss you off to get a reaction out of you, don't give them what they wa--- Me: fIGHT ME BITCH
Show > Books
book clary: whiny, problematic, cliche "underdog becomes the hero"
show clary: badass, soft, *cough* not trying to get with the guy she believes is her brother *cough*
book jace: an asshole but "it's okay because he's just witty and the cool-guy"
show jace: supportive, strong, a good person to have as a friend/ally
book simon: literally did nothing except pine over clary for like three books, but he's the cliche cute-nerd friend that EVERY main character has to have
show simon: badass, can make his own decisions, nerd-hot
book isabelle: wasn't even there most of the time, slut shamed when she was there, but she was a good sister
show isabelle: a fcking goddess™, the best forensic pathologist in the state of NY, just trying to be accepted by her mom, a fcking amazing little sister
book alec: problematic, whiny, good with a bow, knew he was "in love" with his parabatai but still dated magnus (completely disregarding magnus's feelings)
show alec: amazing fighter, amazing brother,amazing son, amazing boyfriend, amazing amaZING AMAZING !!!
book magnus: literally wore fuckinf ridiculous clothes, but overall he was pretty great
show magnus: the most badass, fashionable, wise person on the world, an excellent boyfriend, takes absolutely NO bullshit, is there to help people when they need it
book luke: wasn't even there most of the time ???
show luke: the BEST detective in New York, amazing step-dad, badass leader, saved the day so many times i've lost count, just overall the best
A note to the anti-cc crew on tumblr:
If you don’t like her, stop complaining? Just deal with the fact that she is in fact an author and a real person, and whilst she may have her flaws well BREAKING NEWS! Everyone has flaws so even if she isn’t your favourite person she is other people’s.
Don’t tag your shitty hate posts (that really fail to justify your hatred) with things like ‘the dark artifices’ and ‘the mortal instruments’ because you’re just gonna get a lot of shit from Cassie’s fans. Yeah, okay, stick to your anti-cc tag or whatever but tagging 'the mortal instruments’ in the hopes that Cassie will see it won’t do anything?
And the posts about “oh dear me, I want to read Lord of Shadows but I hate the author and I don’t want to give her money” are shit. If you like the story, regardless of the author then buy the book? She isn’t going to use the money to bring back the use of gas chambers and announce herself to be the second coming of Hitler. And please don't complain about her writing more books. It's her choice whether she writes them and your choice if you buy and enjoy them.
Also ironically I am, as a massive fan of Cassie and all her books, going to walk right onto the haters’ turf and tag this post under the anti-cc tags ;)
Unpopular opinion: I had to review LOS for a thing this summer. Livia Blackthorn’s death was just wildly unnecessary and felt like a George RR Martin rip off tbh. There’d been enough carnage in the story.
For all those Cassandra Clare haters I will say this "Иди домой!". Thank you.
