Valentine, looking at Stephen and Céline through the windows of the Herondale estate:

I have a deep passion for the female shadowhunters in the circle (and or had some involvement) like Maryse, Celine, Amatis and Jocelyn??? Oh I could talk about them for HOURS.

I hope Stephen & Amatis had an affair while he was married to Celine actually.

Considering she consented to Valentine breaking them up for her just so she could have Stephen, I condone them cheating entirely.

I hope Stephen made it clear to Celine he didn't and would never love her, she deserves it after the way she ruined his happy 1st marriage and thought so little of Amatis for not being "pretty enough" for him.

[claryshortredheadedwabadtemper]

I was researching, and I realized that the timeline of the circle is completely wrong.

For example, Jocelyn was born in 1970; and she said that she fell in love with Valentine around the age of 16. However, in "The Evil We Love" in "Tales From the Shadowhunter Academy", which takes place in 1984, she and Valentine are already together. However, in 1984, Jocelyn was supposedly 14 years old, which makes no sense at all! Taking into consideration that Jonathan was born in April 1990, we can have the notion that he was conceived around July 1989. We know that Jocelyn was 19 at the time, and she herself said that she got married at 18 (supposedly in 1988).

but then again, Jocelyn had already turned 38 in 2007, just as Jonathan/Sebastian had already turned 17. and if we do the math, it seems that Jocelyn gave birth to her firstborn at 21, when logically she would have given birth at 20. i don't know, i feel confused now, and this is just one of the cases. another confusing case is that of Celine and Stephen (+conception of Jace).

I get the feeling that if Stephen and Celine Herondale hadn’t been murdered, they would have divorced eventually and Stephen probably would’ve been a deadbeat dad

[iveneverbeenanaturalt]

i think it's interesting how we find out in the wicked ones that celine wasn't exactly a victim in the amatis/stephen divorce situation. i mean, she was certainly a victim of valentine, but in the case of amatis and stephen's divorce, she wasn't the victim—in fact, amatis was the only victim. stephen, of course, was the most guilty, since he was the one who was married and the one who decided to end his marriage because valentine told him to, and marry a girl he referred to as a child

[beclynn-herondale]

I'm emotional about Michael Wayland and Céline Montclaire again.

[margareturtle]

Ya know what would’ve been cool

Is if Johnny Rook was originally french and one of his parents left the clave to marry a mundane.

And Johnny’s shadowhunter parent was originally like Terence Montclaire (Celine’s Uncle)

So then it would acc make sense that Jace and Kit look/act alike bc they share great grandparents and a whole french side of the family

Bc I can suspend my disbelief about faeries and demonhunting part angels but I draw the line at Kit and Jace “sharing Herondale charm”

When the shared ancestor they have is so far back that it wouldn’t show up on ancestry dna

So far back that the majority of people can’t track that far

So far back that Jace and Kit could get married

Bc IF (big IF) the Blackthorns are directly descended from Lucie then Ty and Kit are as distantly related as Jace and Kit lmaoo

But tbh I don’t think the Blackthorn’s are directly related to Lucie & Jesse bc if they are then it makes Tessa seem like a pretty shit mom 😭 (just in that she cares a lot for Jace’s survival so her sons descendants and Kit’s —mainly bc he’s a “lost herondale” but only ever interacts with the Blackthorn’s via Kit & Emma)

Bc honestly if The Blackthorn’s are directly descended from Lucie & Jesse I would say that Tessa totally neglecting them (plothole or not) is more fucked up than Kit & Ty possibly sharing an ancestor 200 yrs ago 😭

[witchlingcirce]

please rank your favorite circle members. i would love to see that

OHHHH this one is kinda hard, especially since I’d probably put some of them in the same ranking: HOWEVER here is my ranking

Hm: Michael Wayland

He’s up here because I don’t care about him one bit, I’m sorry. I forgot he existed, lol. To me, his character just kinda exists for Robert to have some kind of internal conflict.

1. Maryse Lightwood

Is this kinda unexpected?? Idk. I remember rereading TMI and just thinking about how cool and great she is. I think her and Luke have the most interesting turn around when it comes to the circle! I cannot wait to be getting my dearest Maryse crumbs when we get Claces BIB story.

2. Luke/Amatis Graymark

The Graymark siblings are sharing a spot here because I actually really love them both. Now obviously Amatis doesn’t really get all that much page time, but I’ve always really loved her- she stood out to me when I first read city of glass. And LUKE, him in the first three books was always such a delight!! Him and Clary’s fatherism deserved to be shown more. I wish he still had a more prominent role in the last three books loke he did the first three!!

3. Celine Montclaire

SHE is probably one of the most interesting circle members, I could talk about her forever and forever and forever and forever. The way the constant loneliness and helplessness she felt throughout her child impacted her relationships and also her actions is really interesting. All she wanted was to fr just be happy. Her story in GOTSM is a blessing.

4. Jocelyn Fairchild

Jocelyn should probably be higher but I never connected with her as much as I maybe wanted to. HOWEVER; I would go down defending her, she’s so mischaracterised 99% of the time. She’s actually a pretty cool character, she’s always had a lot of scenes that stood out to me- and I could talk about her relationship with Sebastian forever!

5. Robert Lightwood

I have never really been connected to Robert as a character, and the first couple of times I reread tmi I just didn’t really care for him. I HAVE however changed my opinion a bit, I find him an interesting character. And I think the way his character is TFTSA and beyond is pretty cool- I have however thought killing him was a bit stupid.

6. Stephen Herondale

I actually don’t really share the common opinion on Stephen that he’s the worst person ever. I feel like people always only look at him as acting on his own thoughts and feelings when he too was manipulated by Valentine- but that’s a rant for another day. Stephen’s OKAY, he’s just one those character where I don’t think we really get anything from him. For the most part he’s always just a side character.

7. Valentine Morgenstern

It’s actually crazy how he lowkey changed the shadowhunter world. Valentine, while he’s definitely not a better villain than Sebastian- he’s definitely a good villain. The scene in COA where he literally goes to Simon’s house and kidnaps him always makes me laugh!! Like oh… okay! He’s definitely an interesting character, and I find the way he was able to manipulate everyine fascinating, like wow… every shadowhunter is easy to manipulate.

8. Hodge Starkweather

Hodge is here because while I think his character concept is interesting, I don’t think his character ever did anything that genuinely stood out to me, personally. I could talk about how I think he’s a really interesting case of how classism works in the shadowhunter community and how I think his punishment affected him: but yeah he’s just a guy to me in all honestly !!

TYSM FOR THE ASK! This was so much fun!!!

Rereading TMI - the City of Glass

Yes, Valentine was definitely not in the best condition after he killed a pregnant woman and took the baby out of her womb. I hope he was ill for a long time.
