Shadowhunters shower thoughts
I always found it interesting how in City of Ashes, basically 2 seconds after Clary finds out that Jace is her brother (not!), Simon makes his move by surprise!kissing her and declaring that he’s her boyfriend. And Clary goes along because what with her comatose mom, finding out that she’s not quite human - and also that said mom has been gas-lighting her her whole life, and that her crush is her brother ---- oh and that her father is Shadowhunters Hitler ---- She’s clearly not in the best emotionally stable state to be making decisions that might alienate her oldest friend.
The hatedom finds a way to blame....
Clary --- for leading him on and making him turn vampire, because somehow Simon’s feelings for her and his actions as a result of those feelings are her responsibility
CC - for writing Clary as a Mary Sue and - let’s never forget - !INCEST!
But somehow, Simon who is basically Nice-Guying his friend and - knowingly or unknowingly (but really? really?) - taking advantage of her emotionally vulnerable state ---- somehow escapes any kind of blame or finger-pointing.
Basically, hatedom manages to blame 2 women for a man’s actions.
