you like gabriel and gideon?? yasss share some hcs of them or with their partners pls
do I like Gabriel and Gideon? YES I LOVE THEM (this will be long so BEWARE) (quick edit, I DONT KNOW IF I DID THIS RIGHT NO ONE HAS EVER ASKED FOR MY OPINION BEFORE LMAO)
I feel they get severely mistreated. Gabriel is talked about in TID as this bad person. but is he really a bad person? his little sister gets humiliated so he takes matters in his hands (even if he fails) and then gets branded as the person who’s the problem. when it’s actually Will. Will is the one with the fake curse who treats everyone like shit and gets zero repercussions for it. what is so terrible that Gabriel did? I mean, he does say some stuff about Jem (not his proudest moment) but he ends up stepping away from his father, his fathers actions, and ends up trying to become a better person.
the fact that Will tries to make it seem that gabriel is only interested in Cecily to “get back” at Will is insane. SOME PEOPLE HAVE OTHER CONCERNS ADMIRATIONS HOPES DREAMS THAT DONT INVOLVE YOU WILL. Gabriel isn’t the one treating a woman as his whore but that’s for another day 😌 in my mind, gabriel is passionate, he has a soft side, and he will fight for what is his. I truly think he’s a wonderful father but it’s a shame we didn’t see him actually be a parent. the writing doesn’t allow us to see Gabriel’s growth. Anna can be seen as problematic and Christopher going to Grace after what she did to James is a little out of character but that’s mainly the writing. CC doesn’t understand how to execute her characters and show growth unless she accidentally does it for someone she doesn’t care about
Gabriel is one of my favorite lightwoods. he’s got one of those soft hearts and uses this defense with his sarcasm and jokes so people can’t hurt him. he has to kill his father and the whole thing ends up being a joke which I think is insanely messed up. I think the whole Gabriel and Will thing doesn’t get talked about. yeah Will has trauma but he uses it as an excuse to be awful to everyone. Gabriel has trauma but he tries to grow from it. Gabriel isn’t out here saying “oh I killed my father and had a bad childhood so I can treat you how I see fit.” I don’t ever recall Will ever apologizing or showing growth for his actions. but I do see Gabriel saying how he wishes to change and actually changing.
imagine if Gabriel humiliated Cecily or used Will’s fathers issues as a joke and song. then everyone would be like “omg Gabriel can you stop being a dickish bastard for one second please?” but Will jests on Gabriel’s trauma so all is well I guess. I don’t think Gabriel gets enough love. I just think almost everyone making Gabriel’s trauma into a song and joke is vastly disgusting and messed up and I hate no one ever talks about it
I adore Gabriel and Cecily together. I think they fit really well together. they’re both fierce, strong, and passionate. it’s a shame we didn’t get to see them grieve Christopher or any of their development. Gabriel not saying anything when Alexander gets kidnapped is sloppy and lazy writing. these two really get shoved in the back after TID
one of my fav Gabriel moments is when he tosses that demon into the river and his one liners are BEAUTIFUL
GIDEON!!!!!! what a sweet, beautiful, and thoughtful man. it’s funny how before he’s introduced, they’re like “you think Gabriel’s awful? wait for his brother” and he’s the most kindest man. is the evil in the room with us????? it’s adorable how he cusses in Spanish because he’s happy 🥲 Gideon tripping over his words and making a fool of himself for Sophie is high tier entertainment. Gideon seems to be a very calm soul. where Gabriel is a more reckless storm, Gideon is the calmness we need. he’s strict with Gabriel but it’s because he wants the best for Gabriel. I’ll always love the moody and quiet brother with the loud and always has something to say brother. we didn’t get enough of them bonding and arguing
now Gideon gets some growth. he goes to Spain and understands his father is wrong and he actively chooses to leave, tries to bring his brother back, and actually helps Charlotte. he’s another of my favorite characters. he’s very quiet but when he has something to say, it’s loud and clear. Thomas really embodies gideon and Sophie. I also really love Sophie and Gideon! Sophie takes a backseat after TID which is another shame
Sophie takes no prisoners and I love her calling out anyone who disrespects her family and herself. (Tessa acting like Gideon is a bad person and trying to warn Sophie off, girl the man you like treats you as some whore shut up already) it’s sad we don’t get more of Sophie. it would’ve been nice to see her as a shadowhunter and the family dynamic. Sophie and Gideon are just really good people full of love. it shows in their parenting because of what we see of Thomas, Eugenia, and some of Barbara. I think Gabriel and Gideon used their traumatic upbringing and decided to be better than what they had. they broke the cycle in a way. and this is only pertaining to their kids, I have no clue what happened to make Robert who he was 😬
one of my fav highlights of Gideon: when he tries to purpose to Sophie and his dry humor and MAN HES JUST SO FUCKING PRECIOUS AND MUST BE PROTECTED and I love Gideon defending Thomas 🥹
I don’t think their treatment gets talked about enough. they are almost perceived as the villains when they have the most growth in TID and are far from being villains. I think they’re both very funny and Gideon seems to have a dry humor that isn’t appreciated enough. in my head, they’re super supportive of one another and constantly are hosting family nights together. I don’t believe the whole the merry thieves first meeting at the academy when their families are close. I really see Gideon and Alastair bonding and hitting it off right away. I also see Gabriel and Cecily being like “we’ve had our childhood taken from us so we are here for you” and just making Alastair feel at home. (IN A GOOD WAY)
I really hate how Gabriel and Cecily get left behind. they don’t get to grieve Christopher. Anna desperately needs some guidance and little Alexander’s kidnapping doesn’t get mentioned or is the focus. we do get to see gideon and Sophie kind of grieve Barbara, but I would have wanted to see more of them with Thomas and Eugenia gets left out. when Thomas gets accused of murder, we don’t see Sophie anywhere near Thomas or see Thomas have a conversation with Gideon about it.
Gideon and Gabriel are severely underrated and underutilized. they’re the best part of TID (besides Jem) and the only reason I read that ghastly series. they don’t get talked about enough that I see. they get this villain treatment from CC when they’re anything but that. we don’t get to see Gabriel and Gideon much in TLH (which I get it’s not about them but it wouldn’t hurt to feature them) so that’s also sad
but all in all, I love these two so much and I wish we could have had more of them. they’re beautiful, passionate, fun, and humorous together 🥹 (you made me realize more how much I miss them so thank you) I could take more of Gabriel and Gideon tripping over their words and literally themselves to impress the women they’re in love with. it’s a real treat

Oh fuck. If Gideon had just brought Jeannemary back to Harrow, Palamedes, and Dulcinea... The kid might have lived.
I haven't read Nona yet, I'm still on chapter 6 of Harrow... But I wonder if that ever gets brought up.
It seems like it really weighed on Gideon in GtN. Can't help but wonder if it'll inform her decisions going forward. I guess we'll find out...
Rest in peace Jeannemary the Fourth.

Having the events of the dlc occur concurrent to the base game and having everyone in the base game refuse to acknowlege anything that happens in the dlc is such a dumb move. What were they thinking.
Ranni and Miquella would surely have words for one another??? Gideon would want to know??? Hello?????

Don’t think about Elle desperately trying to self-soothe and stay grounded while she was waiting around for Lee
Don’t think about how of course Elle knew she fucked up but instead of being met with any sort of compassion she was mainly met with anger
Don’t think about how even with the full 4 months, you have to wait until 6 months to see if someone will actually develop PTSD (she did)
Don’t think about how despite his good intentions, Reid trying to soothe her by saying “you won” only confirmed that the others wouldn’t understand
Don’t think about Gideon calling Elle impatient, Elle talking about how seeing rapists walk made her want to explode, how Hotch said that feeling wasn’t that far off from murder
Don’t think about how Elle was genuinely trying so hard for so long and how she deserved so much better than to be the tragedy she is

guys i can't believe you are all sleeping on Gideon "I am not blind, and we are a people of many scars. I see it, but it is not ugly. It is just another beautiful part of the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." Lightwood

girl help i accidentally made myself emotional about the eighth house---
fuckkkkk. i mean.
imagine you are born and raised to die. prepared for slaughter in every way, designed to be used and used until there is nothing left. you are nothing but your sword and your honour and a battery. the only thing you have is your word and you cling to it will all the twisted want of someone raised to be no one.
and you meet your necromancer, and he's a scared little kid thats going to kill you. he will murder you, suck you dry and burn all the things that make you a person. the weight of a house rests on his shoulders and his life haunts yours.
he looks at you like your every word is gospel, the writ of the Emperor Himself, and it is the worst thing he could do. he loves you. he loves you in the way an uncle loves a nephew and the way a child-cult-leader loves a scion of his house and the way a necromancer loves a cavalier and he is going to eat you, lyctor or not.
but he gets older and wiser and he pulls the life out of you and he forgets when you seemed the cleverest person he knew. there is something worse. this is worse. you were born and raised to be a battery. but you are no longer a beloved one.
the
only
thing
you
have
left
is
honour.

My fellow Tlt afflicted beings.
You can love sometime with every horrible, rotten, secret, awful little corner of you, and guess what?
You deserve that much back.
Even if you suck and they're perfect. Your all should be met by their all. And if isn't, you should leave.

fic rec friday
burn my heart out
by saudadeonly on Ao3
Lord Voldemort wages war on Hogwarts but he is unaware of the years-worth of battle fought against him.
(or, several instalments following the Battle of Hogwarts with Sirius Black standing on the wrong side)
I love love love this fic and all the others from this amazing series (In another world, Sirius might have chosen his own freedom. In this one, he chooses his brother's life.) and I would so so highly recommend you read the whole series in one go because you probably won't be able to put it down! the series is still being written on btw and isn't that amazing? it's basicaly what if sirius had become a death eater in order to protect regulus but still helped the order out by being sort of a double agent so, you know, amazing stuff
favourite tropes included are:
darker fix-it
everyone is trying their best
angst
hurt and some comfort
at least in this fic, some of the others are much fluffier
good black brothers
everything is feeling so many things
minerva mcgonagall is badass
marlene mckinnon is a good friend
loads of our favourite people survive
magic lore
horcrux hunting
found family
cool battle scenes
a lot of interpersonal feels
as always leave lots of love and kudos to the author and have an amazing rest of the week <3

Thinking abt Gideon's reaction to her totally not at all gay fantasy about Harrow.. her wanting to be seen and acknowledged by her.....i love her so much!!!! like, WHAT? "the blood all drained from her cheeks for some reason", FOR SOME REASON Y'ALL! probably because she hates Harrow so much tsk (i love when Harrow said "you are something else with that sword" i get you, you repressed lesbian)

Just in case: there are spoilers for the edelstein-trilogie ending under the cut. (Its not very cohesive just mostly a rant tho.)
Finished smaragdgrün today and i thought i remembered how much the end pissed me off but hoo boy actually reading it made me so much angrier!! Might have to write kerstin gier a very strongly worded letter where i can finally get out all the annoyance that has been accumulating inside me since 2011
I dont care how rushed the ending feels, i dont care about the not super exciting reveal of the count or even that gideon suddenly becomes immortal just to give the audience a twist ending surprise (literally forgot about both of these plot points lol) but the ending of james' story pisses me off so much its ridiculous tbh!
Like you cannot spend three entire books explaining again and again (and again! Really too much actually) how the time travel rules of this universe work and then just completely break them just to give a (not even very likeable) side-character a sappy good ending which disregards everything we have been reading for however many pages and just expect me to accept that??? I will never get over this i will die on this hill (from old age probably... ive never met anyone who would care to fight me on this)
The story really does not need to give james a happy ending but more importantly: if he didnt die and become a ghost he would have never met gwen and therfore she could not have given him the vaccine to save his life so none of this makes any sense and completely breaks the time continuum!!!
If anyone of you ever writes a time travel book please for the love of fuck get an editor who has a single brain cell and can tell you when you fuck up your own logic!!!! Or at least give it to me to read!! How did this get published good god!
Okay im good i needed to get that out. Thanks.

Hello, I'm the anon who said your writing was scrumptious! Anyways, I've been reading your writing for the exes and it's lovely as usual. I always can't wait to see what you've written, anytime I see a notification I get excited but I hope you're having an amazing day or night. Thank you again for writing for the exes, as not much people do. I just read Matthew's fic and AGHH it was so good, this post was definitely less chaotic then my other one lmao.
But, I had a question. I know the Katayanagi twins don't really get a lot of screentime in the movie or anime, but do you think you'd ever write for them in the future? I have found one person who writes headcannons for them which is really nice but I prefer fics and I've been desperately wanting content for them as well, also I've seen that some anons go by emoji's. Could I perhaps use the coffee emoji ☕ that way you can Identify which anon I am as I'll definitely be checking in more in the future when I'm not busy, thank you again! <33 {P.S I'm currently writing this while I'm suffering from food poison. 😭}
Oh. My. God. You are so freaking sweet ahhh. First off, the fact that you literally read ALL MY EXES FICS?!? AND LIKED THEM?! Best news for a writer to hear ever. I’m so glad you loved them 🥰
Secondly, I would be so down for writing the twins. The only major problem with that is they have literally no screen time. Like, whatsoever. I haven’t read the comics either, so I would just be going off the anime and the movie. The anime, thankfully, showed their characterization a little bit, but even then… THE DARN VEGAN ROBOT GOT MORE SCREEN TIME THAN THEM….
Personally, I try to stay “true” to the characters on how I see them portrayed, so just because of that it might be a while before you see a fic of them pop up. Once my finals are over, you best know I’m gonna seek them out like a research paper.
And, yes. I think the coffee emoji is a perfect way for me to keep track of you haha. It’s actually so aesthetically cute too ☕️✨
But, enough with the ranting, thank you for actually reading and taking the time to share with me how much you appreciated my fics. You don’t know how much it means to me to hear that. I hope you feel better with the food poisoning too. Hopefully my “scrumptious” writing didn’t have anything to do with that 😅😅
