LBAF 7 Reread - Part 10

lmao lovelaces be like

i love how all the kids are having a crisis after visiting new york. atlas is like 'do my parents love work more than me?' and regine is like 'are my parents assholes and trying to ruin my life' and cami is like 'are my parents lowkey fascists'. i call this the mavid effect.

gabriel calling selena 'mami' 🥵

selena has this parenting this in the bag

lmaoo iris

YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT BUDGETS

this was so funny

NO MY POOR LITTLE ANTOINEEEEEE

abigail is one of a kind fr

the way i know he will be SAT for blackbane wedding lmao

what do you mean he loves wedding and no one invites him to theirs?? i will kill all of them.

i know she is max's favourite 🙂‍↕️

this little detail is so trivial yet so cool because it gives us insight into worldbuilding + characters hehe

NOT THESE FUCKERS LITERALLY PREPARING A NUCLEAR WEAPON AGAINST LANCE #FUCKYOU

YEAH HE SAID THAT

cami is the coolest person i know

they will all pay for this

CAMI IS THE COOLEST PERSON I KNOW

i know she was #disgusted

this is very true because if it had been anyone other than rafael, they'd have caved by now. but that man has made some really difficult choices in his career oof

arthur loool

cutiesssss

i love how their the same age but you can see the contrast between the different kids in this generation (like joan vs cami) and it reflects the lbaf gang's parenting soo much

LBAF 7 Reread - Interlude - Part 3

oh 🥹

she wants that max lb cookie sooooo bad

they just saw a portal (and magic) for the first time i am emo

magnus knows him soooo well (and were those last couple of lines necessary oof)

i need other max fan art soooo bad

well, yes.

hermes, you fool indeed.

:((

the way i laughed lmao

i think it's very interesting that max thought rage/hate would keep David alive because pain/grief killed him. as if he didn't consider for a moment that max's betrayal would also cause pain/grief...

he was so real for this.

like fr. leave my client alone.

i am sorry but this is so funny to me (also reminder that hermes hasn't opened this letter in the current timeline 👀)

he is the best leader in lbaf and yes that includes alec and everyone else

THEIR FRIENDSHIPPPPPPP

he's a loverboy, what did you expect, hermes???

if only he knew where the name story came from sdkjncfjksndckd

AND I SAY LBAF, AT ITS CORE, IS ABOUT THE POWER OF LOVE??

[khaleesiofalicante]

LBAF 7 Reread - Part 6

I've been dropping hints about consul iris since 1996

lmao magnus

painnnnnn

okay, as a reader, i can now understand why ya'll were so mad at alec lol

maxs falling in love with davids at first sight is a canon event actually

lmaoooo

PLS

i think its sooo cute that max uses his powers to steam cami's curls

lol called him out to his face

i love their dynamic. it's so mavid-coded

the way she genuinely hates the job description CAMI WAKE UP

#mytruth

he has such golden retriever energy

ded

i inserted this backstory for me and me only

"he gave me his soul because i couldn't have his heart" is one of my fave lines :))

cannot wait for idris to find out david is the most shadowhunter to ever shadowhunter lol

THIS BITCH???

OH, SHE'S LOST THE PLOT ENTIRELY...

LIKE LITERALLY???

i think this is exactlyyyy when regine realised there's no redemption for this woman

lmao i know madeleine was irritated af

"you are weird and creepy, goodbye" oh max would've loved this lol

a lance entrance ft shadow demons is NEVER not cool wow wow wow

[khaleesiofalicante]

LBAF 7 Reread - PART 5

these two sigh

these two lmao

i will never not mourn their childhood :(

I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

foreshadowing ;)

completely forgot we got rafael lore drop in lbaf 7

these two cuteeee

"like most of his species" fncdjks i love her

i need to know everyone's lbaf hear-me-outs immediately...

lol (but also valid point)

and then they didn't lmao

so miguel was the one who led atlas to the demon metal that led to the stele for lance. cool cool cool.

FLKMSNVFNK DEAD

Max clocking it so right and yet so wrong is so funny to me.

these two cuties

THESE TWO CUTIES

THESE TWO CUTIES AHHHHHHHH

:(

i genuinely fear this man...

[khaleesiofalicante]

LBAF 7 Reread - Part 3

this man yearns for a jock son. let's give it to him.

i think we should all be scared of arthur. unreliable narrator final boss...

oh? 👀

stooop 😂

UGH I FUCKING MISSED THESE TOO SO MUCH HI MY BABIES

jealous david, you will always be famous.

...and i say jace is a better grandpa, then what?

someone tell him about mamdani's new york!

his little gay ass trying to be subtle here lmao

what a man what a man

WHAT A MAN WHAT A MAN

i do think we forget the gang is just a bunch of kids because their solutions are so 'simple'. like cami believes lance/aj being back in Idris will make a difference, the same way atlas thinks lance having a rune will make him a proper shadowhunter...

yeah say it louderrrrr

lmaooo he said 'try me, little shit'.

this is so true (in our world too) like gatekeeping info and not collaborating with other countries/communities does so much damage.

lance is so funny for this (and valid)

i love how despite their differences everyone agrees Miguel is a snack.

"lesbians with the swords" kdncvjkd harry please

them trying to erase david from history YOU WILL PAY

we all need an abigail in our lives. @gospi my abigail <333

BITCH I WILL CUT YOU

people like this and their complicity is half the problem istg...

This Valentine thing is SUCH a good point. She is so smart.

I AM SOOOOOOOOO NORMAL ABOUT THEM. AHHHHHHHH.

Once again, it's so fascinating how everyone has a different theory for the high demon activity, and their theory reflects more on them and the actual truth hehe.

homotron here is oblivious to the sapphic seduction happening in 4k

STOP EVERYONE WANTS TO FUCK RAFAEL LMAOOO

do they know they are best friends in the future?

MAX LIGHTWOOD-BANE YOU CRACK ME THE FUCK UP MY DUDE

[khaleesiofalicante]

LBAF 7 Reread - Prologue

Mikkel being allergic to Hermes' favourite flower. I love symbolism!

Foreshadowing?

FORESHADOWING?

One of my favourite Hermes character details is how, despite being one of the oldest warlocks alive, he's still insecure about his warlock marks. Sometimes, time doesn't heal all wounds.

Sexiest trait in a man tbh.

I love this warlock detail because they are used to summoning everything.

How do I tag Magnus Bane (and maybe Alec Lightwood)

Nicolas says the most creepy shit randomly kdjncjkszn

🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

I love warlocks more than anyone else :(

The fact that Mikkel was horrified by shadowhunters (though he didn't know it at the time) exploiting children only to do the same later on...

One of my favourite LBAF plot twists ever.

(i think i will be using this gif a lot during my rereads lmao)

Craziest switch-up in history....

The visual montage...

I know this is a very painful prologue, but this bit was the saddest part to me :(

Ragnor has been a hermes stan since day 1 actually. when faircain becomes canon, ragnor will cry tears of joy.

It must be so tiring to be as old as hermes and see the same mistakes me repeated again and again...

Oh, that was kinda sexy ngl.

I was not subtle 😭

considering that i see downworlders as an allegory for minorities, including queer people, this bit made me emo :(

oh 👀

what you're telling me is his bitchass can be defeated by a florist?

say what you will, warlocks know how to make a badass entrance oof

ignoring the foreshadowing here, but hermes is genuinely right to be worried because mikkel carried out a large scale genocide at a time without transport, communication, extra angel powers, etc. he did everything he did simply by manipulating the system and he should be feared!!!

i love the lore behind every warlock's name. i love hermes cain!!!!!!!

[khaleesiofalicante]

LBAF I Reread - Jace's Chapter

Some organizations choosing to support the Cohort over Alec's Clave...and of course the Vatican was one of them lmao.

Jace is bi in the same way jake peralta is in b99

I always forget this was like a key plotline in the first story...RIP to all the people I killed lol.

He's such a girl dad. I love him.

LEXI I LOVE YOU

I feel like Jem and Jace would be very close, especially with Kit now 🥺

HE IS HERE. MY SON IS HERE.

Their parabatai bond >>>

A question that still hasn't been answered btw...

Magnus bebe 😔

ALEC BEATING UP ALBERT'S ASS. GIMME THE DELETED SCENE.

Stoooop lol

This is so interesting because we can clearly see the nephilim were closer to downworlders than mundane, which is the completely opposite now. Also, I love that Roman, who was the first kid in the shadow world to be born through mundane medicine, is the one who heads the mundane tech development for the Clave (under Devlin Corp). I love you, my underrated king.

Albert was part of the Cohort omg???

There is so much to unpack here. For starters, I didn't realize Jackson (or the Haywards) were in New York for a while wow. And I do wonder which Institute Albert ended up. I do think it must have a bigoted one because he only got worse with time...

Only sad thing about Albert dying so early in LBAF is him not knowing his son married a warlock :(

AND THE REST IS HISTORY!!!

I just realized the only kids in lbaf and next gen who grew up with abusive parents are David, Kincaid, and Règine. Gays always be suffering fr :(

😏😏😏😏

Jace Herondale love a child so much, he changed the world for him 🥺

I really hope this is something that is addressed in the books because, seriously, the child abuse and cruelty in the tsc books is too much ;(

ALEC'S FACIAL HAIR JOURNEY HAS BEGUN!!!

My favorite worlds are the ones where David grows up with clace family because LOOK AT THEM

i love selena so fucking much, she is truly one of the kindest characters in lbaf.

rip david's dimples, a character detail i completely forgot....thank fuck though because max would've been insufferable about this...

[khaleesiofalicante]

LBAF I Reread - Alec's Chapter

This reminded me of this...

I'm glad we're past all this and Alec is owning his daddy/silver fox era.

Lmao. Anjali was a menace back then. Someone inform Cami stat.

This is one of the coolest reforms in Idris if I say so myself 😌

I always forget Rosewood was Enemies to lovers (but they were just competitive lil shits)

Alec being oblivious once again hehe.

All of this makes me so sad. Because Rafael loves Max so much and everything is shit now :(

Magnus Bane is always standing on business 😤😤😤

Max is the most manipulative shit and i love him for that

LMAO this sent me

NEVER LET HIM FORGET "i'm basically 12"!!!!

I think we don't give Jackson enough credit for growing up where he did (and how he did) and still being one of the wokest people in the shadow world. JACKSON HAYWARD FOREVER!

One of my favourite bits from LBAF 1. I think Rafe really took this to heart ❤️

Simp #1

This hits different for people of colour 😔

I know we don't see this a lot in the books, but given how much they interact with the mundane world, I feel these talks are inevitable.

THIS WAS SO UNNECESSARY? ARREST THE WRITER!

This whole scene lmaoooo

I love how until this point Alec was like 'David is so sweet' and 'David is such a nice boy' and then 2.4 seconds after finding out about Mavid, he IMMEDIATELY started terrorizing David 🤣🤣🤣

I think one of my fave Max characteristics is that he is never 'scared' of Alec. Like he just thinks of Alec as one of his bros fr.

AND THIS IS WHY HE IS THE BEST LEADER THE SHADOW WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN AND THIS WHY HE WAS ABLE TO BAG THE MAGNUS BANE.

100% advice to give a teenager tbh

Going from 'I was born out of love' to marry someone whose name means 'be loved' 😭😭😭

OMG THAT LINE!!!

He learned the manipulation from Magnus 🫡
