In these days,i've talked to some people in the shadowhunters fandom,but this time,they were all adults,and women.

what came out of the situation:

"Magnus had all the rights to fell in love with Camille,that girl is fire"

"Its okay if Magnus dies,he is like 400 yrs old,Max was only ten,TEN."

"Alec in the TV show was sooo sassy"

"Wasn’t Ragnor six feet under?"

"Tessa was the best girl,and Catarina was too."

"As a greek myths lover,Magnus is a child of Dionysus"

"They are all a little bit autistic in TMI"

I love the old part of the fandom.

"What would happen if all your favorite characters found themselves in the same room?"

Just try to imagine Magnus(TMI),Gabriel(HALFBAD),Crowley(GO) and the Cat King(DBD) in the same fucking room.

TRY.

Ok,so,EPIC x TMI but its a swap AU based on God Games and here Shynyun is kinda of good and other warlocks are little shits bc idk

Shynyun : Athena

Apollo : Catarina

Hephaestus : Ragnor

Aphrodite : Magnus

Ares : Aldous Nix

Hera : Wren(yeah ik she is not from TMI)

Zeus : Lilith

[explanations under the cut]

– Apollo / Cat :

I fell like Catarina would be Apollo,not only bc she is a sun person,but Apollo is the god of the medical arts,(Magical Arts associated with the care and medical therapy of one's own or another's body)but I didn't know who would take Apollo's place in the song too

– Hephaestus / Ragnor :

They are both strong,old and angry h24,dare i say that this is a perfect duo?Ok,jokes aside,i think Ragnor is a better choice for Hephaestus instead of Ares, since Ragnor has never been a great lover of war, more of strategy, and yes, I could have also put him for Athena's place Instead of Shynyun for this, but it didn't convince me

– Aphrodite/ Magnus :

I mean,Magnus is son of the lust itself,so I though that this was okay ig??I see him as quite capable of playing the role of Aphrodite and defending those who have been hurt by Odysseus, as I see Shynyun being perfectly contrary to everything that Magnus thinks.The Odyssey slideshow aside, it would be awesome to see Magnus as Aphrodite,but if this AU was about Shadowhunters (next post) I would have put Isabelle in his place.

– Ares / Aldous :

Ok,hear me out,the names are similar and they both sound good, so that's the number one reason to bring a dead character back to life and have him play the role of the craziest god at the moment(crazy sibling).They both love blood, sacrifice and displays of courage, and let's admit that they are both a little crazy.

– Hera / Wren :

They are both two pretty women that love perfume and jewelry, and I thought it was quite funny too.I don't know the character of Wren very well, but she interested me right away, so why not add her to the family of crazy people?

– Zeus / Lilith :

Zeus is the father of all the gods, just as sorcerers are the children of Lilith, mother of demons.I don't think any additional explanations are necessary.

Despite Tatiana Blackthorn being shown to have become a vile and horrible person, I really appreciated her as a character. 

Because this was a girl shaped in a very strongly patriarchal environment. She was raised to never be her own person. She was raised to always be the supporting character to another person. Someone’s daughter, wife or mother. Never her own woman. This left her vulnerable, dependent on the men around her. And as that patriarchal system fell apart around her, her father and husband being slaughtered and her son withered away, she was nothing. She was no longer a daughter, wife or mother. She was left on her own, with no idea of how to be on her own. She no longer had anything to define her by. And in her case, that turned her revengeful and bloodthirsty to destroy those who reduced her to the nothingness she was. 

Tatiana Blackthorn was a victim of a patriarchal society, was both molded and broken by the system that raised her, and if that is not an analogy to the female struggles during the Victorian era, I don’t know what would be.

@cassandraclare

Hey Cassie! I have a question.. In the city of heavenly fire, Emma says, "The Carstairs owe the herondales." It is also mentioned several times in ghosts of the shadow market. I was wondering if you could tell us what the exact reason for this would be. Is this anywhere related with Jem and Will or the fact that James offers Cordelia marriage so she could be spared shame from the society? Or will the reason be revealed in the last hours series?

Love you!

This is great 👍

Kraig’s Retirement Party is about to get absolutely WILD this week 👀

As @bookishjules and I prepare to break down Julian’s letter to Magnus and all the theories that come with it, catch up with last week’s episode where we ranted about inconsistencies, our favorite crack ship, what Rupert being the ghost means for both the story and the enchantment and everything inbetween!

Oh, and we did A LOT of SoBHing.

If you have any theories, thoughts or questions, send them our way! We want to know all of them!

Reminder! This is our first episode, so bear with us as we fumble through editing and recording. We’ll get better as we go, swear on the Angel!

Very important analysis. Please read it.

Infectious Bias: Discrimination of Mundanes in the Shadowhunter World

Introduction

As we all know already, the Clave is said to be discriminatory against all non-Nephilim races. While this fantasy-racism is shown to be extremer in unnamed parts of the Clave and fascist groups, with a keen eye it is also noticeable in Shadowhunters that are supposed to be good. This is sometimes more subtly shown (like in The Last Hours), sometimes more overt (like in The Mortal Instruments). 

I am very confident that Cassandra Clare wrote a lot of this on purpose, since those bias are  often pointed out by characters who are outsiders to the Nephilim, like Simon and Kit and it is too well made and too structurally planned to be part of her own biases. Nonetheless, this is often only between the lines, since stories are primarily written from a Shadowhunter-perspective, which makes identifying these prejudices in the main characters a bit harder. We are often getting fed prejudices more as a matter of fact than a bias.

Often a Downworlder will point out discrimination and a Shadowhunter main character will react  defensively by saying that the Clave is like that but not all Shadowhunter, not realising that because they themselves grew up in a fantasy-racist society they are thus heavily influenced by the ideas and values of this society - including its discrimination and prejudices. There are only few Shadowhunters who seem to be aware of their own fantasy-racism and reevaluate how they see non-Nephilim races.

So I want to analyse those subtle prejudices and situations in a few posts. I’m calling this little series of analyses Infectious Bias, because Cassandra Clare shows very well how fascist ideology and white supremacist ideas can poison and infect all parts of a society, not just those who are outright fascist and hateful.

As a start, I want to talk a bit about how mundanes are treated by Shadowhunters. Mostly, because they are not actively harmed by the Nephilim unlike Downworlders which will make this analysis a lot shorter. 

Hypocrisy of the Main Characters

In this analysis as well as the following I will focus on the main characters, who are supposed to be good. Talking about the wider Shadowhunter Society would take too long, as there are too many aspects too address. Also, since most of the fantasy racism of the larger Nephilim culture is pretty “on the nose” like the separation into Shadowhunter and potential Ascendants at the Academy, I don’t think it’s worth the mention as it is quite obvious even the first time reading a Shadowhunter Chronicles book.

Infantilisation of Mundanes - Tales from Nathaniel Gray and Axel Mortmain 

In the Infernal Devices, there are several mundane characters who are treated differently depending on their involvement in the Shadowworld. There is more intelligence ascribed to Sighted mundanes than to non-Sighted mundanes, even though they still aren’t considered to be eye-to-eye with the Nephilim and getting employed as their servants, even though their Sight is a powerful ability. This makes them able to see through the glamour without being identified as a Shadowhunter because of their lack of Shadowhuntesque traits like graceful movements or runic marks. Of course a person should never be valued based on how useful they are to a culture. This comparison is simply about the fact that Sighted mundanes are employed as servants rather than for Shadowhunting, although that is not always the case, as Thomas helped Henry and Will to break into the Dark House. 

The main characters state several times that Nephilim have higher physical abilities (agility, swiftness, speed, strength, endurance) than mundanes. This means that they consider themselves to be biologically superior to mundanes in fighting, even though we see that this is not necessarily true, as Bridget is able to beat Gabriel, who is supposed to be a lot stronger than her. So we can see that this alleged physical superiority is not real but instead a bias of the main characters against mundanes. 

Not just the mundanes physical ability gets questioned, also their intelligence. A good example here are Nate and Mortmain. The Shadowhunters of the Institute think that they are not intelligent enough to navigate the Shadowworld (and tell horror tales of people who tried to play with the occult and disregarded warnings), blinded by their fascination with magic, unable to make their own choices. They think they are too weak and unknowing to cause actual harm by themselves or be able to have any evil inside them. In short: they infantilise them and associate an inherent innocence to their race. Charlotte and Henry don’t even consider Mortmain to be able to be cunning enough to have any ulterior motive or plans, which turns out to be a fatal mistake.

They talk about mundanes in the Pandemonium club and how easily they are to influence and impress, losing all of their money on gambling with magic. While they consider this to be tragic, they don’t actually act to help mundanes who befall this fate, if they are not acquaintances to them like Nate.

Except Will, there is no one who is distrusting of Nate in the beginning. While they think that he knows more than what he shows, they don’t even think about the possibility that he could be lying or hateful. This again shows the ascribed inherent innocence.

 Even after he betrays them, they see him as a manipulated victim, a blinded child rather than an adult making his own choices, as their view of Mortmain shifts to him being a Magician and evil master manipulator instead of a generic mundane. Though this part is heavily influenced by Tessa’s perspective, who probably sees the situation a bit differently since she is trying to cope with the loss of her brother. Other characters are a lot more sceptic and feel guilty for not realising the trickery earlier. 

Mortmain also points out the main characters’ foolishness in underestimating him because he is a mundane. This underlines that the Nephilims superiority complex against mundanes was purposefully written. 

City of Condescension 

Let’s talk about Simon and the Lightwoods. Honestly, there is so much to unpack here. Jace outright bullies Simon for most part of the Mortal Instruments, though the support in this from his peers is varying. Because this is such a huge topic, I will address this in a separate analysis, as putting light onto all aspects of this bullying would take too much space in this analysis.

I think Simon is a is a great example because it shows how they would behave with a stranger:  People usually care less about strangers - even though they don’t necessarily value them less -  because they don’t know them. Thus, they don’t care as much about hurting their feelings: they put more effort in helping the people that they love and cherish. 

The Lightwood kids treat Simon as expendable in the first book. From this we can assume that they treat mundanes that they don’t have an emotional attachment to generally as expendable. The only reason that Jace helped to save Simon is that Clary pressured him to. He only saved him to appease her, not because he wanted to do the right thing or because his vows to protect mundanes as a Shadowhunter. I will come back to the expendability later, when I will talk about Thomas and Agatha for a bit. 

 Of course, with the Lightwoods and Simon, there are also a lot of personal feelings going on: Isabelle is scared of men and getting hurt, building a large wall around herself and dropping guys when things get too serious. Jace is in some way jealous of Simon even though there is little reason since he knows that Clary is neither attracted to him nor is he in Jace’ eyes ‘competition’, calling him the most mundane mundane. Alec has the least interaction with Simon, but he is both distrustful and jealous of Clary in the first book as well as having a drive to please and copy Jace, which makes him automatically hostile to Simon. 

 The Lightwoods are angsty, hostile and irrational teenagers with little compassion for anyone outside of their social group. While they become a lot better and mature people with time, I wouldn’t necessarily consider them to be good people in the first few books. It is also important to note that they were brought up by four fascists and former fascists who definitely didn’t fully examine all the fascism they have internalised. We especially see this in Jace, who perpetrates a lot of fantasy-racism, both micro- and macro- aggressions throughout the books, often under the cover of being a angsty sarcastic teenager.

While Isabelle manifests her dislike in mundanes in apathy over their well-being rather than aggression, Jace and Alec outright bully Simon. Now this isn’t just about him being a mundane but also rather personal, but because it’s such a huge part of the books I still want to at least address it here.

While Alec makes only fun of Simon in the first book in an attempt to please Jace, Jace continues to bully him later, first for being mundane, afterwards for being a vampire.

Examples for this bullying are trying to make him feel inferior by calling him “mundane” rather than his name and using the word mundane always with condescension, even though they use his name in his absence and obviously know it. 

They tell him that he should be grateful to be inside the Institute as not many mundanes are bestowed with that honour, as if he wasn’t worthy to know of their world. During dinner, Alec and Jace even kick Simon out of the Institute for standing up to Jace playing white knight for Clary in face of meeting the Silent Brothers. Clary meanwhile doesn’t even bat an eye. This is an especially humiliating scene that was hard to read, but it’s neither the first nor the last one: They ridicule him for being attracted to Isabelle, calling him pathetic for meeting her, telling her in front of him that he wants to sleep with her. Jace also ridicules his physical appearance behind his back, calling him weasel-faced and so ugly that he looks like a rat (which is also later shown to have been foreshadowing).

This isn’t the end of it: at every possibility they signal Simon that he isn’t welcome and they don’t care about him, his questions or his opinions. While Simon isn’t any less hostile in his reaction, the Shadowhunter teens are in a position of power over him, given that they are allegedly “superior” magical beings and he doesn’t know anything about the Shadowworld, as well as Jace and Alec being in the majority and no one really defending him.

Simon is not seen as a human being with a soul, inherent value and feelings which they could hurt. They rather see him as Clary’s pet. Even Isabelle, who spends a lot of time with him, meeting him in the morning, going with him to the park for the whole day… considers him suddenly to be expendable when he becomes a rat, acting like it wasn’t their responsibility to take care of him in their world, which he doesn’t know how to navigate. She also doesn’t even really consider him a potential romantic partner before he becomes a vampire, though there is also a lot of fetishisation  of vampires involved.

While they claim no accountability, they still infantilise him, treating him like a child who needs a babysitter: because he is a mundane, not because he is new to this world. They don’t treat Clary with the same infantilisation, showing her more or less respectfully how to navigate the Shadowworld. Even though they acknowledge that she needs help, they don’t act as if she was dumb. This shows that they believe the stereotype mentioned earlier, that a mundane is both less intelligent than a Shadowhunter as well as more innocent and naïve. 

These examples of bullying and conflict are only from the first few hundred pages of City of Bones. While there is a lot more to unpack, I don’t want to go much further or deeper in the books here. The reason for this is the amount of personal issues between the characters that fuel this conflict, not just fantasy-racism. 

Though it is still worth a mention: I want to thank @theprodigalgenius for pointing out to me that in City of Glass, Simon asks them why they hate mundanes so much, to which Jace responds by making fun of him. Sebastian points that they feel left out since they can’t tell the world about their duty and don’t get any acknowledgement for their hard work. Isabelle feels resentment towards mundanes because they never grew up in fear of suddenly losing a loved one. 

We can see a lot of jealousy here shining through for what they consider a life of comfort. They cover this up with a feeling of superiority, twisting the longing for comfort into an arrogance about the mundanes alleged weakness and laziness. Though we know a mundane life isn’t actually more comfortable or happy than that of a Shadowhunter, as the history of Sophie shows. 

Of course, none of this jealousy or resentment excuse the disrespect and apathy against those very vulnerable people they are sworn to protect.  

 Clockwork Expendability - in Loving Memory of Agatha and Thomas

Clockwork Prince and City of Bones show us that it is not important to save or protect individual mundanes from dying. Mundanes are replaceable, Shadowhunter are not. The Nephilim are not supposed to grieve, even less for mundanes. 

The Codex even states that crimes against mundanes and Downworlders are punished less harshly than crimes against other Shadowhunters because they’re less Shadowhunters in the world. This means in their view a mundane life is less important, expendable. Going after demons who endanger more than just one mundane is more important than saving individuals except if this individual is a Shadowhunter. While this is the attitude of the Clave, the main characters also show aspects of this mindset. 

An example are Will and Jem. They grew up with Thomas, trained by his side, yet they don’t really grieve when he dies. While most of the Nephilim of the Institute feel guilty, all thinking they could’ve prevented Thomas and Agathas deaths, only one other person, Sophie, a fellow mundane, mourns them and misses them for a longer time period. For everyone else, the dead servants are already replaced and half-forgotten in the middle of the second book. 

Mundanes being considered replaceable is even shown in a bizarre allegory in the guise of Thomas brother. Cyril looks exactly like Thomas and acts similar as well. As if there were vast amounts of Thomases in the world. And if one dies, he is just switched out for a new one, no one really noticing his absence. Of course Tessa and Sophie notice his absence despite this metaphor, but it comes in the form of the discomfort they feel because of the eery resemblance to Thomas, as if he never really died.

Ascension - You’re Better Than This

I will ignore everything else fucked up with Ascension, like the law against intermarriage etc. because that’s part of the wider culture. This is about the opinions of the main characters. 

While it’s never explicitly stated, in the end of Clockwork Princess and in Tales from the Shadowhunter Academy it becomes rather clear:  Mundanes who are heroes (like Simon or Sophie) should Ascend because they’re better people than most mundanes, worthy of being a Shadowhunter. It would be a waste of their life not to ascend, they’re too good to spend a life as a mundane. The message is clear: a mundane life has no value. Not just that a mundane who dies is replaceable, but also that there is no worth in being a mundane and spending your life in a “mundane-lifestyle”.

In City of Bones, Alec and Isabelle even openly admit that they don’t see Downworlders really as people and that while mundanes are “weak”, they are in their eyes still better than Downworlders because they have the possibility to ascend, to become one of them, to be a Shadowhunters. Of course they later change their worldview, but a lot of these opinions are still ingrained in them. 

Conclusion - I’m Running Out of Bad Wordplays 

While Shadowhunters are supposed to protect mundanes, they see this as a rule to protect humanity as a whole and not individuals. They don’t consider it as important to save mundanes as to kill demons, thinking that the offence against demons will save mundanes automatically. Also they see mundanes as inferior to their own race, both physically and mentally, while ascribing a form of romanticised innocence and comfort to their being.

Sounds good.

Rereading The Last Hours (chronologically) before Chain of Thorns comes out

Hi!

I’m witchlightdreams and I’m planning to reread the entirety of The Last hours including online extras and side stories in other companion books of the Shadowhunter and I made a plan so everyone can join me. 💜

The Shadowhunter wiki has a very concise timeline of the stories, but it doesn’t include the online Extras and snippets that aren’t canon. So I put together a longer list that has all extras (excluding a few super short snippets) together. This is probably not for people who read TLH for the first time though, since a few of the short stories and extras contain spoilers.

I already asked people if they would be interested in a book club to reread TLH and I got much positive feedback. I thought long about how to achieve a communal book club so I had the idea of just making a hashtag that hasn’t been used yet to share our thoughts on the current chapter, post art, etc. What do you guys think of #TLH reread challenge?

I’ve made a plan in which order I will read the The Last hours again before the big finale and everyday I will post something about the reading section of the day, life-blog about my thoughts while reading, post art and reblog other stuff from the hashtag, so if you want to keep up-to-date and join the book club, you can either follow this blog or the hashtag or just DM me if you want to join the book club but don’t want to post yourself. I would be very interested to read this communally, so if you want to read at the same time as me, please use the tag or tell me directly. Of course you can also join later or skip the extras at the beginning entirely.

Of course no one has to follow my recommended plan, you should always read in your own time and find joy in reading. I just made this for myself and everyone who wants to read parallel with me. I’m trying to keep every daily section under 50 pages and always between 25-45 pages, but in the beginning it might not be possible, especially with the extra stories, since they don’t have page numbers and because short stories are usually longer than chapters.

If you want resources where to find the extra stories, I made a second post for that and tagged it with our book club tag.

In case you don’t own the companion books or don’t want to read the short stories because they’re too long, that’s not a problem! The Shadowhunter wiki has a good summary of those so you don’t have knowledge gaps!

Happy reading!

Spoiler: Cordelia killed Tatiana but Grace helped.

Okay, so looking back at the rest of the shadowhunter chronicles, someone has to kill their parent every three books (that aren’t story collections), e.g. Clary killing Valentine, Gabriel killing Benedict, Julian killing Andrew and Kieran killing the Unseelie King. Which means, that someone has to kill their parent in Chain of Thorns. And, obviously, the only way this makes sense in any is Grace/Jesse killing Tatiana.

Anyway maybe I’m going insane but I think it makes sense.

I have a question as Kit was adopted by Jem and Jem is a Carstairs, does that mean that  Kit became a Carstairs  and can use Cortana ?

(I'm not talking about Kit as a Cortana carrier but that at one point he is in danger and Cortana appears to give him help because he is a  Carstairs )

Hello I had a question “can we steal Jessamine’s parasol? and if so will Jessamine stay at the London institute” because my friend thinks «yes we can steal her parasol and she will stay at the London institute because Jessamine's ghost is not attached to the shadow but to her doll's house because she had broken her first parasol and her current parasol, she had not yet had a strong enough line to be attached to the parasol»

thank you for answering it's for fanfiction
