#anti jalec i guess

[kinkymagnus]

i think it would be very funny if the whole seelie court kiss scene trope everyone used to love because of the books happened in the show (aka “alec, who is not openly with magnus currently, is forced to choose between kissing jace and magnus, oh the drama, his *i start puking* “”crush”” or his secret boyfriend”) because the seelie queen would just be like (apparently assuming alec is ashamed of magnus/himself and/or that he likes jace) “who will you choose to kiss, lightwood boy? magnus, or j--they’re making out. they are making out right now” 

like she doesn’t even finish her sentence and alec’s sweeping magnus into a dramatic dip and kissing him deeply. he doesn’t even glance at jace. he’s too busy feeling magnus up and kissing him like it’s the end of the world as magnus passionately returns the kiss. everyone looks away, slightly uncomfortable. the seelie queen is just like “asked and answered, i guess” 

[nancyloumm]

It’s interesting how many Jace blogs have me blocked. Why do they think I hate Jace?

I love Jace. I love Clace. I love Alec and Jace’s relationship as parabatai. 

I guess because I don’t ship jalec, they BLOCK me?  Hey, whatever makes you happy. But don’t consider me a ‘hater’ when my only ‘crime’ is not seeing YOUR favorite ship. 

[saltybane]

When will the writers and showrunners learn that no one gives a fuck about that one-sided piece of shit parabatai bond. Like just free Alec already and get rid of it. It’s an absolute joke.

[itachi86]

this is so clary’s fault jace should not be getting mad at alec

[laufire]

why must fandom always assume than disliking a popular ship MUST mean you ship the “rival” one? I can dislike two things at once. and I can change my mind about liking something.

by which I mean, because I don’t feel like vagueblogging today: no, I don’t like m@lec. I don’t really like j@lec either. I used to (sorta), when I cared about Alec’s inner life and conflict, because it made for an intense, uncomfortable narrative and I am all for that. but this season’s premiere made me realize that my love for Alec was just because I enjoyed his usurper narrative and the fruits it bore for IZZY’S narrative, and since now those parts seems to have flopped, I’m just meh on him/the whole pseudo triangle tbh.

BUT that doesn’t mean I’m suddenly blind to the show’s dynamics for fuck’s sake. acknowledging that Alec’s prioritizes Jace over Magnus again and again, and that Magnus’ is at a huge disadvantage in their relationship doesn’t mean I LIKE that it’s happening. I don’t! it fucking bores me, and I want Magnus to get an out by any means necessary. 

but denying it, when we have Magnus asking Alec if Jace is worth Magnus GOING TO HELL IN WHAT’S VERY POSSIBLE A SUICIDE MISSION, and Alec being his passive self AGAIN (like he was when Maryse and Max offended Magnus to his face. like he was when Imogen was torturing someone that claimed to be Magnus. like he was when he was asked to make Magnus give a DNA sample. like he was when the Sword was missing and Magnus was at risk)

what good does denying it, dammit? it’s fucking CANON. you don’t have to like it, but jumping at people’s throats for daring to point it out is useless.

[izzymalec]

it’s been months and i’m still thinking about how little sense it made for alec not to be able to feel his parabatai come back to life like.... we know he felt him die but he didn’t feel him come back to life?? “look at it now” “how 😲” ...uhhh yeah i don’t think so and now he can’t even feel jace being possesed by a demon?? did the parabatai bond even come back bc it certainly doesn’t seem like it

Alec Lightwood Isn't Shy: A Manifesto

DISCLAIMER: this post is about show!alec, i know it doesn’t apply to book!alec at all, which only goes to show that show and book alec are two completely different characters and we should all just acknowledge that and move on tbh

Honestly, it’s kind of baffling to me that so many people seem to think that Alec is shy and easily embarrassed and shit, because I can’t think of a single thing in show canon that would support that idea. In fact, it goes against what I believe to be one of the cores of Alec’s character: he’s very honest about his feelings, so much so that it comes off as almost blunt, and he’s a very ride or die guy; once he commits, he’s all in. Alec doesn’t really do hesitation, even if of course he’s bound to have his insecurities, after everything he’s been through. 

Even in s1, where we definitely have a more emotionally closed off Alec who’s definitely hiding, he never seemed to really doubt himself, or what he felt. Lying about it, sure. But to others, not to himself. When he talked to Magnus about it, he said “I always knew I couldn’t have what I wanted”. Knew I couldn’t have what I wanted. He was absolutely sure of what he wanted, but he was convinced that he couldn’t and wouldn’t have it, so he decided that he wouldn’t act on it, and he would try to bury that.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that that’s on Alec. Obviously he was making a decision based on a lot of abuse that he endured and the knowledge that he very well might have lost everything he had if he acted on those feelings. He said that himself to Magnus, “you want me to sacrifice everything for you? My life, my family, my career?”. Alec knew exactly what was at stake, and he chose his safety, and image, and position, and family - up until he didn’t, of course, but that’s another topic. I’m not judging him; I’ve been on the closet, and it’s not easy, or safe, to come out of it for many people. If the situation wasn’t so terrible, he probably would have made another decision. And it was valid to choose what he did for so long; honestly, it was wise, especially considering that he didn’t know about his parents and the Circle at the time. Once he did, then he had some kind of leverage; he knew that his parents needed him, couldn’t afford to cut him off completely after he came out; that changed the power balance a lot, and gave him a lot of leverage, which I think was essential for his coming out. But I digress. My point is: Alec was making, honestly, the right decision by not coming out to his family before he did. 

But that’s the thing: it was a decision, it wasn’t him lying to himself. That is, I think, Izzy’s greatest mistake when she was dealing with Alec in s1: she thought that Alec was repressed, that he couldn’t admit to himself what he wanted, so she kept trying to push him to, thinking that he was living in denial of himself. But that’s not true at all. Alec knew that he was gay, knew what he wanted, and what he desired, and whose ass he wanted to ogle, and he even actively did that when he knew no one was looking lmao. He wasn’t denying it to himself, he was denying it to others, because he wasn’t ready, and it wasn’t safe, to come out. And Izzy kept trying to make him admit it, because she believed that he was living in denial and hatred of himself. So she thought she was telling him that there was nothing wrong with being gay, but what he actually saw and felt was that she was pressuring him to come out when he couldn’t. 

Alec is commonly seen as the stereotype of the gay guy who hates himself so much he can’t admit it to himself, both in and outside of the show, but that’s not true at all. He knew about his desires, and he even lowkey acted on them from kind of a safe distance (like the many times he openly stared at men’s asses when no one was paying attention lmao my man is so horny, or his “crush” on Jace that was clearly just him channeling his feelings for men into the most unavailable guy his age that he could find, a safe guy to put his feelings on). 

Now, what does this have to do with him (not) being shy? Obviously, a person can know what they want and still be shy. I’m just saying that to further expand on my first point up there: that the cores of Alec’s character, to me, are that he is very in touch of his feelings, very clear when expressing them, and very confident once he decides what path he’s going to follow. He doesn’t hesitate and he doesn’t do roundabouts and he doesn’t play games, he opens himself up completely and expects the same from others, in his personal relationships. That means that he doesn’t hide away, and that he isn’t scared of expressing himself, or at least not enough to let it stop him. In short: he isn’t shy. 

Shyness is, most of all, hesitancy, as well as struggle to express yourself, and fear, and none of those are present in Alec’s character. Like I said, once he decides something, he commits, and he doesn’t let anyone stop him. By the point he decided that he couldn’t and wouldn’t have what he wanted, nothing anyone else could have said would sway him; he was committed to this plan and this idea that that’s what his life was going to be like (obviously, because of abuse). But when he decided otherwise? He was just as committed and unafraid of his decision. For fuck’s sake, he made out with Magnus in front of his entire family, and that was their first kiss and his coming out. One would expect that he would take it slow, that it would take him a while to get used to having everything so out in the open after hiding what he knew for almost a decade. But nope. He stood right in front of his abusers and held their stare and committed to his decision to be who he is, and defended Magnus and their relationship, and told them that he’s still the same he’s always been. He confronted Maryse and forced her to acknowledge their relationship for Max’s rune ceremony, basically saying that she would acknowledge and respect their relationship or not have Alec in her life at all. He even lowkey threatened her with the “thank Magnus” stuff. Shit, he had just begun to get away from her abusive claws, and he was taking absolutely 0 bullshit right off the bat. It’s impressive as fuck.

The only times Alec ever seemed to be actually hesitant to me were in the initial scenes in s1 where he told Magnus that Magnus was confusing him, or when Magnus asked him why he came, and he said he wasn’t sure. But even then, he didn’t seem shy at all to me; he was staring right at Magnus, and he seemed to really, really think the question over, and he didn’t, I don’t know, look at his feet or try to escape the conversation. He didn’t even seem insecure of his answer, even if his answer was an “I don’t know”. 

I think that he was struggling, because for the first time he was going off the path that he had set for himself, and again, Alec is committed. He never thought he’d see himself straying off the path he chose, and he probably thinks that he should be smarter than that, better than that. It’s confusing to him because, possibly for the first time since he was a kid, he was second-guessing himself after he had already made a decision. Alec might angst over the right decision to make, and think them over, and want to have a good plan, and feel that he needs to always prove his worth, but once he decides, it’s decided. He doesn’t go back. At least not unless he’s proven terribly wrong. 

Yet there he is, doing the opposite of what his rationality is telling him to, and possibly having to face the possibility that he wants to do something else, after years of resolutely keeping on the track of what was expected of him. And of course it’s scary, because he knows perfectly well what that would mean for himself, but also because it’s out of character for him. It makes him confused precisely because he’s used to being steady and confident, not faltering in his resolve. He’s struggling, a lot, and he’s having to face that his previous decision was actually way less his than he would have liked to think, and his whole life is tipping off balance. But he isn’t being shy. He’s experiencing an internal turmoil. That’s different.

Other than that, the only other thing that I can think of for the whole “shy, easily embarrassed Alec” trope/description is the one (1) time that he blushed. Which. Look. Even if he was actually embarrassed that one time, wouldn’t mean that he’s easily embarrassed, or that he’s shy, or that he struggles to talk about his feelings or act on them or whatever, okay.

But I don’t even think that he was actually embarrassed.

Let’s look at his body language here.

(gif by @hawkaye) 

He looks surprised (with the initially confused look at Magnus’ sudden reach for his jacket), and pleased, but not embarrassed (and who even gets embarrassed by someone adjusting their jacket anyway like doahdsoa). He’s smiling openly (one of the widest smiles we get from him this far in the show tbh), he’s looking directly at Magnus’ eyes, he’s not hunching back or moving away; in fact, he’s moving towards Magnus. His head is still held high and he’s looking ahead. He’s openly appreciative of the gesture and touch. Other than the blush, there’s nothing in Alec’s body language that express embarrassment here. 

I think the blush is because he’s surprised, and unused to basically anyone who isn’t Izzy touching him so casually, and also because he’s pleased. 

Especially because he was just apologizing to Magnus, and Magnus was mad at him (for very legitimate reasons, honestly I love that scene a lot but that is not the time for this particular rant lmao), and then Magnus does this casual display of affection that’s still new and almost out of place considering he was about to leave a moment ago, and Alec is surprised and fucking happy because this is new to him, and yeah, he blushes slightly (although it’s nothing like the whole “Alec blushes down to his fucking nipples” trope that some of y’all write sometimes), but not because he’s embarrassed by Magnus’ every touch, or because he’s shying away, just because he’s pleased. And yeah, that’s a thing, blushing is nothing but your blood flow getting quicker and it can happen for many reasons, not just embarrassment. Personally, I think it was a mix of surprise, and a shockingly pleased feeling that he never really expected to get. 

But again, even if he was being shy in that one moment, it still doesn’t make him A Shy Person. Confident people can have moments of confusion and shyness, especially at new feelings in a new relationship that they haven’t experienced or even really dared to imagine experiencing before, and it doesn’t mean that they are easily embarrassed, constantly shy, or insecure in relationships. So I definitely don’t think that any of that makes Alec’s characterisation as shy in the beginning of their relationship any truer.

And if I don’t think that “shy Alec trope” holds up at the beginning of their relationship, I definitely don’t think it holds up later. 

Because again, we are back to my first point: Alec doesn’t look back, he’s all in, and he’s fucking honest to a fault about his own feelings, to the point of shocking Magnus with the blunt, matter of fact way that he expresses his love to him (not just because Magnus is unused to such open, unassuming and direct expressions of romantic affection, but also because Alec really is. Extremely honest and sincere, to the point of basically baring himself for Magnus like it’s absolutely nothing, which would be shocking to anyone, but it’s particularly shocking to Magnus, who’s so used to putting up walls). And once he knows what he wants, he’s 100% confident, to the point where he forgets to account that Magnus might not be so confident. For fuck’s sake, homeboy left the Institute during work hours to go to Magnus’ loft and be like “it’s time to fuck”, and his approach to the topic was literally to open the door and lunge at Magnus like a starving man and kiss him deeply without even saying hello. And he’s canonically a virgin, might I add.

This is completely new to him, he doesn’t even really know where to start (like, he went to his sister for advice on whether or not he should do it lmao), their relationship is still new, and yet he shows absolutely no fucking hesitation, much less shyness or embarrassment, once he decides that yes, it is the right time. It’s Magnus who stops him, and asks him what’s going on, and Alec is even kind of confused. His reaction is pretty much “I want to fuck? D:”, again, no shyness, no turnarounds to say what he wants. Magnus is like “the sex step” and he’s like “yeah” like it’s obvious, again looking straight at him, more confused by Magnus’ reaction than anything else. And Magnus is the one who tells him he isn’t ready. 

That’s a trope, too. For their whole relationship, Alec is usually the one who approaches the heavy topics and takes the first step. Sometimes he leaps at the first step and Magnus has to hold him back and tell him that they should, like, talk lmao because Alec simply sets his mind that he is Going To Do The Thing and just goes for it. Which is a problem, but he’s learning and he’s always respected Magnus, so it’s okay. 

But anyway, Alec does that many times. When he takes Magnus on their first date, when he turns around and tells him that he doesn’t care how many people Magnus has been with, he only cares about him, when he kisses him for the first and then the second time (I honestly think he initiated almost all of their kisses but it’s not like I’m counting), when he said the first I love you, when he asked Magnus to move in with him the first and then the second time, when he decided to ask for Magnus’ hand in marriage, when he approached the “kids” topic like a runaway train- you get it. Alec was the one to take the first step for most important milestones, even after he was rejected a few times (like the first time he talked about moving in). And he was never hesitant, he was never shy, his approach was always “I have decided that I want to do this with you. Thoughts?”. 

Not even right after Magnus rejected his initial idea to move in did he really shy away from saying what he wanted. Like if there would be a time for Alec to be careful and shy and embarrassed, it would be that, and it would be completely understandable and still not make him like, a walking blush trope, just human. But even then, he wasn’t. Alec is so not shy that it’s kind of abnormal, honestly. 

The closest he’s gotten to being shy in those scenes was when he tried to approach the topics because he always did that little preamble, and even then, it wasn’t really him hesitating or not knowing how to talk about it. It was him not knowing how to introduce the subject. Because again, he put it into his head that he wanted to have this talk, but he needs to introduce the topic somehow, and he fucking sucks at that because his mind is so one-track tbh. And even then, the way he did it literally: “hm. You know, I think I’d rather have one of my shirts” (Magnus doesn’t get it because it’s a terrible introduction) “no Magnus I’m saying that I want to move in with you.” He wasn’t embarrassed, he wasn’t hesitating. He was just trying to get into the subject so he could say what he wanted.

So it’s baffling to me that people really write Alec, like, post-marriage as shy and embarrassed when Magnus mentions sex or even touches him or even is mentioned in conversation. That was never how he was, not even when he was desperately trying to deny his feelings for him in the face of overwhelming evidence, much less after they were already together. Alec always dived right in, he didn’t second-guess himself, he wasn’t embarrassed and he didn’t shy away from either sex, intimacy, or heavy topics. On the contrary, he usually went too fast for Magnus.

And don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that “Magnus is the shy one”. There is no shy one. If I’m being honest, I kind of hate shy trope, I think it’s boring as all hell and I’d much rather have two confident characters (not in the sense of not having insecurities, because obviously they both have, and when it comes to their relationship, particularly Magnus. I just mean that I like it better if none of them is shy and stuttering and blushing and whatnot and they both actually communicate and show emotional availability and capacity lmao). I’m just drawing that comparison to emphasize my point: Alec goes hard and fast, so much so that even Magnus needs him to slow down sometimes, despite the fact that Magnus himself isn’t a shy person.

And neither is Alec. Not at all.

this 👌 close to writing an "Alec isnt shy" manifesto yall are making me lose my shit

[kitsword]

Ok, I need to get it out from my system.

I'm seriously sick of Wessa (or more like anti Jessa stans) saying Tessa loved Will more than Jem or Jem is her second choice.

BOTH OF THEM WERE HER FIRST CHOICES!

Just like Jem's first choices was Tessa and Will and Will's was Jem and Tessa.

Jem and Will both were loves of her life, even Woosley said that. She loved the EQUALITY.

She accepted Jem's proposal because she truly loved him. That's why she wearing the necklace from him for over century!

If he would be only her "second choice" she wouldn't fight for his life with Caterina in GOTSM. She was next to his bed the whole time even when he was silent brother and she knew they couldn't be together.

After Will's death she wanted to mourn him with Jem but she knew they can't.

Anti Jessa loves to say that Wessa make out after they found out that Jem is dead. They were both in PAIN. They needed comfort, they loved each other and they wanted to forget about this pain. It wasn't romantic scene and super sexy scene. It was sad and painful. It was about finding comfort in each other arms.

Next thing is their butt hurt about Heronstairs.

So what if some people ship them? This is fucking fictional characters. They WEREN'T BROTHERS. They were PARABATAI and parabatai CAN FALL IN LOVE WITH EACH OTHER *cough* Jemma *cough* Robert & Michael *cough*

Yes, Cassie said that Will isn't gay or bi but it's still FICTIONAL CHARACTER. People can ship him even with Gabriel if they want to. It's not hurting anyone.(Maybe except your fragile ego)

Also love between Jem and Will was something more than platonic or romantic love.

I can't even explain but imo it's something more than relationship between Alec & Jace or Simon & Clary. They call each other "My Jem" or "My Will" (Just like "My Tessa *wink*). Will was ready to do EVERYTHING for Jem and Jem was ready to do EVERYTHING for Will. I don't think that Simon/Clary or Jace/Alec put their hands to the fire for something that can save their parabatai (maybe i'm wrong). Also Jem and Will know each other only for 6 YEARS when Climon and Jalec know each other for longer time and we never get such emotional moments of them being parabatai like we had from Heronstairs.

Okay, I guess it's everything I wanted to say. I know it's not make impression on any Anti Jessa but I need to get it out from my head.

Sorry for any typos but English is not my first language and thanks for coming to my ted talk!

[zalrb]

i'm sorry if it sounded like i was attacking you. i know you didn't say that. i was just pointing out the ridiculousness of the tvmalec fandom and how they will blame everything but their own pairing for their problems. like they'reblaming cc for the show, when she has nothing to do with it. book jalec & parabatai are completely different from tv. yes, CC's straight & white but she went there with an interracial gay relationship when bigger writers refused to. even now jk rowling is refusing 1/2

“i'm sorry if it sounded like i was attacking you. i know you didn't say that. i was just pointing out the ridiculousness of the tvmalec fandom and how they will blame everything but their own pairing for their problems. like they'reblaming cc for the show, when she has nothing to do with it. book jalec & parabatai are completely different from tv. yes, CC's straight & white but she went there with an interracial gay relationship when bigger writers refused to. even now jk rowling is refusingi guess i'm just saying that if CC wanted Magnus to be a white woman, won't she have written it that way? so tv malec saying she's anti-gay and that these White Straight Men will save Malec from her, their Writer... is just stupid. again, i'm sorry. i was just giving you an idea of how the tv malec fandom is, since you're not into it. i don't want to post in that person's inbox because it's pointless.” 

OK I think you misread the context, the person who replied to my comment is actually a Jalec shipper and was criticizing CC for the way she portrayed parabatai: http://initiumseries.tumblr.com/post/174383113711/mia-zeklos-witchunters-mia-zeklos-so-half but getting to everything else would be pointless because like you said, I’m not a fan nor have I read the books to even see how she portrayed Malec for me to say anything, I just watch the show from time to time and enjoy the Jalec chemistry.

Dear Anonymous Shitheads,

I’ve... since the beginning of posting stories on FFNet, always instantly deleted anonymous bullshit - mind you, not the sweet ones or the neutral ones or the honestly critical ones, just the flames. Because I felt like it’d give them some sense of, you know, victory if they saw their bullshit popping up in my review section? Just delete and forget.

Because let’s be frank, I don’t give a fuck about your sensitivities and complaints.

I’ve never given a fuck and I’m not gonna start any time soon. I’m too old for this shit. But hey, tumblr sounds like the fun place where I can publically answer the anonympous bullshit I get.

And today’s ediction centers around my newest Jagnus fic - A Magnificent Warlock’s little Shadowhunter.

“This ship is disgusting! It makes me so happy they are never ever going to be together! Malec for life!“

I find this one in particular adorable. Daw, you got your OTP as canon. Good for you, little troll. Go and rewatch the show or reread the books then and stay away from fanfiction, how about that?

Like, you find it disgusting? Sure. You have a right to find it disgusting. You also have a right to use your brain, if existent, and learn how to filter the stories popping up in your feed. The internet is a wondrous place and you don’t have to actually put up with the things you hate. You can really very simply avoid them. If you don’t know how to to that, well, learn it.

And let me just add; I don’t need my OTPs to be canon. I prefer them not to be, actually. Because rarely do writers get couples done good. Malec in season 2 was a disastrous example of that. There was just so much bad writing involved there. No, I prefer it as non-canon, I prefer to write and read fanfiction about it.

And the second one I got - and I’m guessing it’s from the same eloquent genius:

“It's bad enough you write jagnus for the show now you have to ruin the books as well!“

Aw, that’s so cute. I’m ruining the books? I didn’t even know I was going to write the next sequel book and turn it into canon Malace. *gasps* Because, quite frankly, the only way I could ruin the books was if I were to actually write the next book and force my awful, disgusting ships down your throat by making you read them in the context of them being canon. But sure, if unrelated fan-produced things on the internet ruin a book series for you, yeah. And you - again, still - have the option to filter work and not read things that “ruin” your fandom.

It’s been a while since I last got bullshit like that. I felt that maybe the shithead has given up. Apparently, me posing under the book tag woke the sleeping troll. Daw, I hope it goes back to sleep soon.

Back in the day, when I was still a hatchling writer, I used to take things like those to heart. Now they’re my greatest source of entertainment. I just find the notion that people are not just too stupid to filter work but also fail so miserably hard at not clicking things they don’t want and theeen having a large enough ego to actually leave bullshit reviews about what pouty, whiny, bitchy, entitled littl ebrats they are... I find it utterly amusing, to be honest.

I mean. There’s literally nothing about antis, trolls or haters that can be taken seriously.

And... what they don’t seem to understand is that their bullshit fuels me? Back when I started writing for the Shadowhunters fandom, I got a lot of this crap for my Malace stories, particularly for the Jalec aspect of them. Though it did baffle me that some of them managed to praise the sweet Malec moments and then shit all over how I had to ruin the fic by adding Jace to disguise my Jalec shit as Malace? For one, Jalec ain’t shit, it’s a precious OTP of mine, and for another... you literally just praised the Malec moments? How is that disguising Jalec as Malace then?

That lead to my phase of posting two to three Malace fics a week (and to me being motivated to write my first purely Jalec fic). Because if you’re too stupid to filter fanfiction and if you’re so horribly offended by my awful, disgusting pairing and if you’re that incapable of ignoring things that are not your taste, then I will flood your fucking inbox with my godsawful disgusting work until you drown in it.

I’m already working on my next Jagnus story. And I can’t wait to keep reading the book so I can write and post the next book-related Jagnus story.

Just to spite you, dear anonymous shithead. Because I’m a petty, vindictive and very protective little bitch when it comes to my fandoms, my ships and the things I love.

I do not tolerate for others to shit all over them. I wouldn’t seek out the things I hate just to shit all over them either, because I know the people writing them put a lot of love into it and love the things I hate, for whatever reason. You have every right to hate everything you hate for the dumbest bullshit reasons there are, but what gives you the right to drag others who love it down?

So if you can’t muster the same amount of common respect and human decency, then I want to see you drown in the pairings you hate. Because, as mentioned above, I’m a petty little bitch. And I’m all out of fucks to give. I stopped being self-conscious about my writing or my pairing choices years ago - if I ship it, I write it and if you don’t ship it, then you shouldn’t read it.

That’s always been how I handled the haters and that will always be how I will handle haters. If you take the time to tell me how awful I am and how much you hate what I do, I will make sure to take the time to write more awful things just to spite you.

Uhm, not that my readers now feel motivated to leave hate just to make me write more? Because I do appreciate the sweet things you guys leave faaar more than the anonymous bullshit.

So, I’m not sure what the point of this was. Not to reach the anonymopus shithead, of course, because I know from experience that you can’t reason with trolls. But maybe to share with others who sail my precious ships that you should never let the haters get to you and that, if you just keep writing and holding your head high, they eventually give up? That you should never be the one giving up? That if others make you feel shitty in your safe place - your fandom - then you gotta fight back with whatever methods you have, even if they’re just writing or drawing or fangirling/fanboying even harder just to show them that they hold no power over you and that you know that your pairing is good and amazing and shipable?

Also an overall shout-out to all Malace, Jalec and Jagnus writers for writing my OTPs and not letting idiots get to them either.

[nancyloumm]

Not sure if it’s been mentioned before, but looking at this gif:

(x)

you see that AU!Jace and AU!Simon are close. A closeness that develops later in the main world. 

But, correct me if I’m wrong, AU!Alec and AU!Jace have NO interaction at all. 

At the truck stop, AU!Jace stays in the truck while AU!Alec hangs out with his sister, AU!Simon and Clary. He leaves only to talk and kiss Clary.

At the party, AU!Alec is too busy trying to get into AU!Magnus’ pants to pay attention to anybody else. 

AU!Jace interacts with Clary’s parents, the above scene with AU!Simon, then chases after Clary when he sees her walk off with AU!Magnus. 

But not one moment does he talk to AU!Alec.

Guess the parabatai bond only exists in the main world. 

[saltybane]

So it would seem my streak of having no stupid Jalecs or Clalecs in my inbox for a while is over. Sigh.

Hey I’m anti jalec but can you don’t use kind,dead and dyslexic as an insult .

that looked like it, didn't it? ugh. i was trying to reason why they don't see the facts. i wasn't insulting disabled people. (at least that wasn't my intention) i guess racists just ignore beauty.

“This person doesn’t like m@lec so they obviously must be a racist jalec shipper!!!”

They could have actually picked someone… active on the jalec fandom? If they wanted to prove a point? And they said they went through my tags but that’s obviously bullshit, because literally in the first jalec post you can see I call myself a casual shipper lol (let alone all the points I’ve made in the anti tag about what I don’t like about the ship, none of which have anything to do with “deserving” love or not rme. That post, in particular, was made because I was pissed at the shippers gatekeeping). It’s so obvious they just singled out the post and then repeated the party line like they always do.

Also: reblogging someone’s post to call them out or whatever, and then blocking them immediately so that they can’t answer to it, is kinda rude. So I’ll answer here I guess.

I guess we have to do another anti tag for ships bc tumblr is doing whatever they want and putting anti malecs posts on malec tag and the same with anti jalec.
