✨ Intro Post ✨

Hi everyone! I'm Andra Edevane, but you can call me Andrevane or Andy if you want. My pronouns are she/her. I'm pansexual. I don't care if a person is female, male or non-binary. As long as they can make me feel loved, their gender it's a secondary thing. I'm an adult, that's all you need to know about my age. So please, minors, don't talk to me in DMs. You can send me asks and interact with my posts, but that's all. I'm also open to roleplay if you want to! But again, not minors. And feel free to send me ask/DMs me for anything!

【 About me 】

🌸My mutuals: @mustangdemon @shoon200218-blog @generalallxsanjishipper @destroya2005 @fancychaostraveller @zearay @rexnanorum @salsalada @inkfowl @arrhythmicdesires

🌸 Bilingual. I speak English and Spanish.

🌸 Writer (I finally have an AO3 aacount! :D. The username is the same as here btw)

🌸 Artist (I draw sometimes, but I don't know if it's good or bad)

🌸 Music: I like all type of music genders, except reggaeton and trap. My favourite music gender is definitely BSO music. And symphonic metal. Symphonic metal it's... so beautiful for me.

🌸 Hobbies: Write, draw, read, listen to music, watch TV shows and movies.

🌸 Favourite season: Winter.

🌸 Favourite singer/group: Hidden Citizens

🌸 Fics I like: Mostly hurt/comfort, because why not? Is there something more beautiful than a person who comforts another person when they need a shoulder to cry on? Crack fics too, because we need to laugh more in this life and be more happy. Villain redemption, because I believe in the innate goodness in people and I think that's what would make a better world. So you can recommend me hurt/comfort, crack, or villain redemption fics if you want.

🌸Fics I don't like: Rape/Non-con fics because I don't feel comfortable with those kind of things. Fics with toxic relationships because what I want in a fic is a happy ending for all the characters, and if there's a toxic relationship that's definitely not a happy ending to me. And I don't like fics with gore neither. So fics with toxic relationships, rape/non-con, or/and gore are a no-no for me.

【 My fandoms 】

⚡Harry Potter 🌌 Star Trek | Star Wars 🦸 Marvel | DC 🐺 Teen Wolf | Shadowhunters 🏥 Stranger Things 🐞 Miraculous Ladybug 🗡️ Trollhunters 👩 She-Ra and the Princesses of Power 🔥Avatar: The Last Airbender | Avatar: Legend of Korra 🦉 The Owl House 🛸Voltron: Legendary Defender

【 Ships I like 】【 My OTP's 】

Yes, I rarely ship the canon couples. Why? Don't ask me that, I don't know why. I just can't avoid shipping non-canon couples. Maybe it's because all of the canon ships seem like the same to me and I'm tired of that. Or maybe it's because non-canon ships are more interesting to me and they could have an interesting story. Anyways, If you ship canon couples it's okay, but that's not for me.

【 DNI 】

♦️ LGBT+ phobes. I don't care if you are Homophobic, Biphobic, Acephobic or whatever you are, if you can't respect people for their sexual orientation, don't talk to me.

♦️ Transphobes. Everyone deserves to live a happy life. And if someone isn't living a happy life because society asigned them a wrong gender, they have the right to be their true self. If you don't support or accept that, block me or don't talk to me.

♦️ Xenophobes. Hating someone for not being of your country is dumb and it's wrong. So if you are like that, again, don't talk to me.

♦️ Racists. We're all humans, no matter the race. And if you can't respect people for being of another race, don't interact, thanks.

♦️ Sexists. Whether you are a misogynist or a misandrist, if you can't accept that no matter the gender we are all worthy of living in this world, don't talk to me.

♦️ Ableists. Despise or hate persons just for having a disability (If that term upsets some of you tell me) is something horrible and you shouldn't do that. So if you are an ableist, don't interact.

♦️ Radfems/TERF. You can support an ideology, but only as long as you aren't radical. So radfems, don't interact. And if you are a feminist that excludes trans-woman, don't do it neither.

♦️ Fascists. If you are antidemocratic, ultranationalist, right-wing or right-wing extremist, stay away from my blog. I don't want those people talking to me.

♦️ If you support censorship.

♦️ Zionists.

♦️ Islamophobes. If you hate a person just for being muslim, don't interact. Like I said before, I'm a respectful person and I only want to talk to respectful people who support human rights.

♦️ Killers, rapists, pedophiles, MAPs. I don't have to say why I don't want those people intecting, right?

【 Moral of this intro post 】

If you can't be able to admit that we're all humans and we're all worthy of live, and live without being harrassed or abused for our race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, or another reason, block me.

If you are the opposite, if you are good and kind, if you are respectful, you support LGBT+, and you believe in the equality of all humans, no matter race, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, disability, or other things, you are totally welcome!

I think that's all! So byeee!,

Andy 💐

I was wondering about something and I really would like your input, Dani.

You know how writers like to play with a lot of different ships, and some are really liked already like Clizzy and Jimon and Saphael. And fair, people can write what they like and feel more comfortable with.

But the thing is, in a lot of stories with those ships and Malec, Alec is still the one who suffers for being gay, even when his siblings are already out. He is either in the closet still or is the one who solely takes all the figurative punches from Maryse and Robert for his sexuality. It's like... Alec is the only one not allowed to be anything but straight. Do you think it's because of the first kid dilemma? The one to carry all the responsibilities and family legacy?

Furthermore, if his siblings were really not straight, even in canon, do you think he would be more acceptable of himself or it wouldn't matter and he would continue to be the grumpy boy too afraid of anything until one Magnus Bane?

Interesting question.

I think the first one is very much a writing choice. If it's a malec centric fic, then giving Alec more obstacles makes more sense. It could be for any of the reasons you mentioned. I do think things such as family dynamics and birth order play a role. For example, my mom lets me do things she never would've allowed my older sister (first born) to do because by the time I became a teenager, she was more exposed to things and her parenting style with me is different too. I also think Alec (to a certain extent) would have been passive to his parent's expectations/conditions, whereas I can see Izzy (not Jace though) fighting back against her parents if they tried to control her.

If Jace and Izzy were not straight....hm, I think it would've helped but not much. I think it would've made him come to them - because he knew they'd understand. He would've been open to having casual relationships and experimenting and all of that.

But Alec's position in the family and Clave are very different from that of Izzy and Jace, so I think those things still would've prevented him from coming out/accepting himself.

I personally don't believe that Alec would've been in the closet forever if it wasn't for Magnus because it reduces Alec's strength and fearlessness to Magnus and their relationship.

Alec came out because of Magnus. But he didn't come out for him. He did that for himself :)

Saphael meets the Inverted Saphael!

Part of my Series; The Inverted Universe: Fanfic of Shadowhunter

I post it on A03-Rhyyc

! So as you should know my story, The Inverted world of Shadowhunter:Fanfic of Shadowhunter

Well Saphael is kind of turn-the-table.

Simon is the Vampire leader, while Raphael is cold-friendly like brother to Clary. (Hey I wouldn't include the original feelings and ship between Simon and Clary. Nope)

Inverted Raphael is asexual, I change something a little bit but he isn't nerd! He is a cold-shy type like that an Introvert, he only talks to Clary or he feel good to talk to. He wears a pants and a t-shirt, he sings and play a piano. Clary was her sister-bestfriend like! But less bossy, and mean.

Inverted Simon is pansexual, he is the Vampire clan but thanks to {In}Alec:Warlock and {In}Maia:Vampire they help him to think more mature and serious well he is Simon, he love star wars where star wars in...Private only, not in public he have a image to protect. He understand mundanes well, he 50/50 likes and dislikes them. (And Simon and Maia original relationship in the show will not applied to the storyline) well he is hatred towards Camille (Every villains are the same).

NOW AT THE STORY ENTERTAINMENT!

"Where are we?" Simon spoke looking around and he is holding Raphael arm shaking.

"Hey fledgling calm down. You are gonna destroy my cloth." He slightly shove his arm but he didn't removed it.

Then a flyer come into their place where are they currently right now, then Raphael picked it

"2016?!" He shouted out of nowhere then Simon come get closer and look at the flyer too.

"A wh..what?! I thought the year supposed to be is 2012?" He says but at the one second both of them feel something...

"Behind my back. Now" Raphael put his arms around his behind protection Simon and clenching his fist, well at Simon who clenched his fist and fangs are showing.

Then a man come up "Don't come near them!" A familiar voice goes in.

Simon spoke "Raphael...is..that you?" Raphael who stands up there and saw him version of himself "No." He replied shortly.

Then [IN]Raphael:Vampire goes forward to them then spoke "You not from this dimension are you?" He look at them, Raphael was fixed of what he is mention, while Simon who is shocked of what he says.

"Are you saying we are in a different dimension?!" Then [IN]Raphael nodded, then Raphael spoke "Where are we?" He ask and a another voice came behind them.

"At the another dimension where we change...Positions" [IN]Simon who is wear a fabulous clothes and coat who is looking a leader of the vampires.

"Wow you look so cool, my another me in another dimension is handsome." Simon praises himself.

"Stop chit-chating goddammit, We have a bad bloods morons here." [IN]Raphael spoke irritated.

[IN]Simon joins the fight, While Raphael was looking at both of them while his body was protecting Simon.

"Hey I know how to protect my self" Simon says when Raphael turn his head he saw Simon was on the bricks and he was squishing him a little.

"Sorry." He said then [IN]Raphael spoke "Run. Follow us" he says.

The four of them ran.

---

**at the hotel dumort**

"Wow." Simon says

"Welcome to Hotel Dumort." [IN] Maia was shocked to found them and says "Come on! Another one really?" Looking at them, Raphael says "Aren't you a wolf?" Then Simon agrees.

[IN]Maia spoke "Different dimension remember? Come on in" she says. The two of them are in the hotel dumort, Simon let the grip out of Raphael clothes.

[IN] Simon walked in and seat at the leader chair "Seat. Feel free to ask, I call Alec, Our warlock in our universe." Then Simon ask "Do this always happen?" Seeing himself as a vampire clan is admiring but Raphael is a good clan leader.

"Nope. Just a few, it was the Ms.C fault." [IN]Simon spoke looking at the filies, Raphael never saw this side on Simon who is serious and mature but he was uncomfortable about this [IN]Simon who is not annoying.

Both of them looking around, [IN]Simon office was full of books of history, filies just like a office of a toxic clan. Then Simon ask "Are you not having fun? It was boring here." Raphael who looked at the [IN]Simon looking not good who is tired a suffocated when [IN]Raphael walked it.

"He isn't, he always here at his...demonized office. Even Maia want him to get out from here." He sat on the chair then Simon goes closer to him "Is he always tired?" And [IN]Raphael looked at him "Are you always this naughty?" Then Simon rolled his eyes "Wow I thought in the another dimension Raphael is nice but Raphael was still cold." Then Raphael looked at him.

When Scott came in, "Simon! We need you there." [IN]Simon uses his vampire speed same as the others. He rush without asking where.

They saw a full of blood at kitchen.

Raphael spoke "What did they do?" His vampire leader instinct come in.

Then [IN]Maia spoke "We don't know." She look at Simon who almost collapse but he held tighter at the round table, and he is holding [IN]Raphael hand.

"Woh, Simon are you fine? You need to go to the room now" [IN]Raphael spoke in some nice tone, looking at him worriedly. [IN]Simon disagree when his face was almost white-pale(ish) EVERYBODY saw him tired and Simon was sick of it seeing him (himself) being like that when Simon goes closer up to his [IN]Simon, "You need to wake up! You are tired and everybody knows it. Stop being a carebaby and go to the fªcking room! Simon." Simon voice wasn't now nice nor calm it was more ordering to his another self.

Raphael never saw this side of -Simon- he can be serious but not...This way, who he feels a overwhelming power come within Simon. But [IN]Raphael was almost..didn't flinched even [IN]Maia.

[IN]Simon follows [IN]Raphael to the room he assist him not to fall.

"Is he always like this?" Raphael ask going closer to [IN]Maia when she clean the blood that was spill.

"Yes he is. But thankful to Raphael...he somewhat bring his sun." Then [IN]Maia spoke to other vampires "Clean this up. And call Jocelyn we need some leads, it will be faster if wolf and vampire help this investigations, just call Me. Not Simon I will report that to Simon when he wakes up".

They follow [IN]Simon and Raphael >

Raphael and Simon saw [IN]Simon room full of ancient things, not star wars or comics no music. Bunch of clothes and [IN]Raphael goes up to his room sending some blood.

"Did I tell you, yoU need to get some sleep. But you never listen, what will the others say?" [IN]Raphael scolded him and Simon spoke "Why do I feel like your still the leader Rapha?.." then Raphael chuckled about what he saw. "Don't mind it. Your still a naughty fledgling." He says, Simon rolled his eyes.

After all some happend, Raphael come in to [IN]Simon room.

"Why you don't have any.." Raphael spoke while [IN]Simon says "I don't have any. Ok. You're still the same of Raphael such a old man." He said in a cold voice, that Raphael wasn't even comfortable but he feel like he is with simon appearance but it wasn't him.

"What?" [IN]Simon spoke, Raphael look at him "You are tired. Why didn't you take some rest and give it the rest to your secretary?" He ask sitting down beside [IN]Simon bed.

"It not I don't trust Maia. It just what Camille did " Raphael was grossed by that name but he continue to listen to [IN]Simon "She did some unbelievable and unbearable things. It just...I was the one who let her escape because of Rapha" Raphael was quite confused and he ask "What did he do?"

Then [IN]Simon says "I love him."

Which make Raphael shocked and if he is a human with skin color his red face would be shown.

"I did something...for _him_ and it goes far. Even Alec told me it was dangerous but I did because I **_Love him_** no matter what they say." Raphael now knows that Simon would do anything for him even thought he still feel amused about it.

Then Raphael ask "In this world what am I?" Then [IN]Simon was look confused at him and raised his eyebrows when he say "You are a boss of a boss. And I surrender to that. " he laughed "You are quiet man and I know your mood, when you need space I gave you a space. Everybody doesn't know you but I know you more that yourself." That make Raphael flustered about what he says when he come back to his own phase.

When [IN]Maia come in

"Are you alright now?" She ask giving a blood to him, Raphael stands up.

[IN]Simon drinks the blood and spoke "Where is _my_ Raphael?" He ask

Then [IN]Maia say "He is with...Your Simon" Pointing at Raphael.

"I would go to them. Where are they?" Raphael ask nicely in a calm voice.

"At Raphael room." Then Raphael was shock of the statement but he goes to the room.

"Simo--..." he open the door, Simon jumped back at the bed a little.

"Don't know how to knock or use the door to knock?" [IN] Raphael says he stands up and put his top on.

"Yeah he is righttt." Simon follows [IN]Raphael

When Raphael holds his arm "Let's talk." He says when [IN]Raphael holds his hands to.

The atmosphere was heated up by those three.

"Raphael. I would go to the bathroom for a second." Simon smiles at him and use his vampire speed to go to the bathroom (IN Raphael bathroom).

"What did you do?" Raphael ask to his [IN]Raphael

"I just did what **_you_** didn't did." [IN]Raphael say

"You shouldn't have done that. I will never let him have a hope when he knows I don't **_love_** him." Raphael says when [IN]Raphael look at him angry.

"You know. You are letting the love escape, the love you always wanted. He had done everything for me, and _You_ never did something for me." [IN]Raphael speak he meant that [IN]Simon did everything for him and Simon was just waiting to Raphael make a move.

When Raphael punch [IN]Raphael, Simon was out of the bathroom and [IN]Simon was out there. Both of them get the **own** Raphael's.

"Stop!" Simon shouts at him not Only him, Both of them.

"He took _My_ Simon, he kisses him. And Simon what did you do? Did you do some.." he stop when [IN]Raphael spoke "We did everything we both wanted."

Raphael look at him and Simon.

Then [IN]Simon look at [IN]Raphael _his_ Raphael.

"Both of you!" Simon shout he is beside with Raphael.

"Why would you trust what he says and not mine Raphael?" Then he added "I was at your side when you are at your worst, you made me comeback at the clan and give me hope. Why would you ask me to stay if you didn't even feel the same way?!" Simon was in the outraged for it, he can't cry because he doesn't want.

Simon leaves the room and ran out, Raphael followed him and [IN]Simon look at him.

"What did you do?" He ask which such a patient voice.

"We didn't do nothing, Simon. We didn't kissed and we didn't hook up, I take off my top clothes because he wanted to be embraced I am different to _his_ Raphael. I am sorry." Then [IN]Simon hugged him.

"He waited for so long. But what you did wasn't fair to the other one Rapha, you hurt your another self." And [IN]Raphael felt guilty he just hug the other Simon because Simon ask it.

---

Simon was out of the hotel dumort, but not far away to the hotel dumort.

"Simon! Simon!!" He shout both of them are using there vampire speeds but unexpected thing happend, Simon runs faster than Raphael.

When Raphael stops and he is panting even thought vampires doesn't need to breath. When Simon feels it his sire, they are bond they know how each feelings, emotions.

"Raphael! Are you fine?" He goes to him, he help him to seat at the side street.

"Why did you do that?" Raphael ask

"Why did you chase me?" Simon say

Both of them chuckled, when suddenly Raphael look at him.

"Why...did you do that?" Then Simon look at him his eyebrows squint "What do you mean 'doing that' "

Raphael look at his eyes "Choosing me all over-and-over. Even you had a chance to another dimension self of me, you didn't." Raphael said

Then Simon laughed and he spoke in his serious tone but lovely "We didn't do anything. It just I smell his scent, it was the same as you. But I know you." Raphael have a flash back when Simon said the last line looking at his eyes, [IN]Raphael and [IN]Simon are definitely true of what they say.

Raphael thoughts of the lines what they said

>You are letting the love escape, the love you always wanted. He had done everything for me.-[IN]Raphael

>You are quiet man and I know your mood, when you need space I gave you a space. Everybody doesn't know you but I know you more that yourself.-[IN]Simon

"It's true. You know me more than myself fledgling" Raphael say

"Don't worry Rapha I will always be yours." As Simon whispered not Raphael hear that he stands up.

Raphael look at him confused "Where are you going?" Then Simon says "I think someone is calling us let's go back, in our world." He said.

---

They go back to the hotel dumort finding Alec was there, they are shock about his appearance they never knew Alec would be a great warlock.

He send them to there dimension for a couple of minutes, The fight between the Inverted Raphael and the Original Raphael has been patched down. They say goodbye at each other and have some a clarification that [IN]Raphael and Simon DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. That makes Raphael heart relief Again.

---

At there dimension-

Simon spoke "We are back." They are at Raphael room. When Simon was about to walk to go to his room he gets a back hug at Raphael.

"I want you." He whispered at him, he doesn't care if some vampires heard that he isn't now afraid of the love he is locking for years.

"You want me when I am already yours?" Simon said in a flirtyness voice.

"That's true. But I want you." Simon was shock and flustered about what he says.

When Simon moves his head to kiss Raphael, he kisses him passionately and caressing his hair.

Raphael was carrying him wrapping his arm to his waist.

Raphael goes deep on there kissing when he stop he ruin their clothes and...The rest are HISTORY!

Thank you for reading, I know it wasn't much more clean. But I will clean it precisely so thank you for reading this guys.

Ship ask game! random letters: A H I S Y

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

okay so i've been rewatching dawson's creek so pacey/joey is Big in my heart right now. i love them so much?? there's something about their relationship and love that just Hits!!! and then i've also been going through and organizing my writing and i read over some of my saphael stuff and just,,, i miss them,... oh! and with doctor who coming back donna and the doctor are the msot wonderful friendship i love them so much

H - What is your favorite source text for fandom stuff (e.g., TV shows, movies, books, anime, Western animation, etc.)?

probably TV? i do love reading but it's a bit harder now? and i tend to read a lot more nonfiction than i used to so yeah.

I - Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?

probably? but nothing is coming to mind right now. but i've been here so long that... gotta be? haha

S - Show us an example of your personal headcanon (prompts optional but encouraged)

okay so this is maybe slightly canon and just more expanding but there's an episode of strange new worlds where spock gets turned human and he's really struggling with it but also really enjoying it as well? and he's tried so so hard in the past to Not be human, to the point of literally having nightmares about it. but then he actually becomes human and, yeah, it's all the bad things he thought, those emotions too foreign and painful and unsure of what to do with them. but it's also freeing in a way he hadn't expected. so when he's turned back into a vulcan, he's not as afraid to be a little more human than he was. he actually allows himself (and takes the time) to think about how he's feeling and what that means. and he's not as emotional, obviously, but he still feels it and he sees the power that the emotions can have and it's. nice.

Y - What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?

for awhile that was a lot of dctv shows and then i finally broke down and watched them. this is probably the case with a lot of stuff that i watch. i don't know if there's much i could really pin point to right now since i haven't been back here for long enough.

send me questions

Don’t Mistake What You Have With What You Hate

(s02e15 inspired fic) (Read on AO3)

Why did Raphael have to grow attached to such a monumental pain in his ass?

There isn’t a single part of him that believes Simon when he says that he doesn’t know how he became a Daylighter. That isn’t the sort of thing that just happens - there has to be one moment, one monumental shift that changed everything about Simon’s entire being. Not to mention the fact that he can read Simon, and knows him well enough to know when he’s lying. The poor guy couldn’t hide an emotion if he tried, and every time Raphael brings it up Simon’s nervousness and anxiety skyrocket.

The others might buy the ‘probably just something with the Soul Sword’ deflection, but not Raphael.

Raphael saw the bodies of his clan, of the Downworlders he considered not just friends but family, lined up to be identified that night. The sword didn’t give anyone extra life, it only ended life.

The thing about Simon is that he isn’t selfish. Raphael knows better than to think Simon’s trying to keep this to himself to be special - if he’s lying, it’s to protect someone else. Or a whole group of ‘someone else's’. Raphael hates that Simon’s loyalties lie so firmly with the Nephilim that he’d lie to Raphael’s face to protect them, and that’s the real reason he sends Simon away.

But Raphael doesn’t hate Simon.

It’d be easier if he hated Simon for lying to him about how he became a Daylighter. It’d be so much easier to watch Simon walk away and immediately stop caring about what happens to him when he runs back to the Shadowhunters, or the werewolves, or wherever it is he goes when he’s not where he should be: with his clan. With Raphael.

Raphael doesn’t just not hate Simon. He likes Simon, against all of his better judgment, and that’s the real problem here.

Because as much as Raphael likes Simon, that doesn’t stop the flare of jealousy over Simon’s ability to walk in the sun. The same jealousy that makes him send Simon away when it’s the last thing he actually wants to do. He reminds himself that he has to be cold and calculated to get what he wants, what he needs, from Simon. He’s lived enough years in the dark to deserve his last few moments in the sun with Rosa, and he’s going to get them no matter what the cost.

Even if that cost ends up pushing Simon away, no matter how much that hurts the both of them.

He doesn’t actually plan on leaving Simon to fend for himself in the face of a murder charge, though. He doesn’t believe for a second that Simon actually killed that girl, even if Simon doesn’t seem so certain himself.

No, Raphael’s sure that of all the bad decisions Simon made the night before, murder isn’t one of them. Hiding out will only get Simon so far, however, and the only way to really help him is to find out who did kill the girl. Maybe then Simon will be grateful enough, or at the very lead obligated enough, to tell Raphael about becoming a Daylighter. Then they can start over and fix everything Raphael’s broken to get the information he needs.

It doesn’t hurt that Raphael hates the bleeder dens. He always has, and this? This is why. This is the first mundane death he’s heard about but that doesn’t mean it’s the first mundane death ever from them, and that isn’t going to fly under his leadership.

At first Raphael assumes that he has some time, because time is a luxury that one takes for granted when they’re immortal. It’s only when Simon turns himself in to the police that Raphael has to face the reality of his situation: the fact that Simon is a good person is going to get him fucking killed. How did he not anticipate Simon’s perceived guilt getting the better of him? Simon’s self-preservation instincts are terrible on a good day, and today? Today isn’t a good day, not for Simon.

And not for Raphael, either, if he can’t figure out what really happened last night. So Raphael bends the rules. He calls in some favors. He makes a few promises and deals and exchanges, and when all else fails he makes threats instead. Raphael does what he has to do to get the answers he needs, the ones that lead him to Quinn.

And, if he’s lucky, the ones that will lead Simon back to him.

I’m back to writing finally after months of being able to write only few (and very bad) sentences a month at best and it’s making me so happy!!!

#personal #it probably won’t remain this way for long #but I don’t give a shit #I’m happy right now #and that’s all that matters #my fics went without a proper input for too long #they feel neglected #and I missed writing them so much #but uni is so good at making me feel unmotivated and sad #and then writing fluff is like catching a butterfly #impossible for me #but I spent the better part of this day writing and I’m proud of myself #and that’s that #might finish my saphael fic before my geraskier kid fic though #it’s more practical that way #ramblings

Do you think the polycule has any holiday traditions?

POLYCULE ASK! POLYCULE ASK! POLYCULE ASK! YESSSSSSSSSS

that's actually a pretty interesting question because the polycule is very culturally diverse. like of course we have simon who's jewish, but the rest is kind of in a weird place. i'm pretty sure shadowhunters don't have holidays at all, and since clary was raised by a shadowhunter and a former shadowhunter, i'm pretty sure she would have been raised without any either? like maybe she'd celebrate the gregorian new year because you know, they have to pretend to be mundane after all, but i think that and birthdays were probably pretty much it for her. oh and halloween i guess which is also not religious-affiliated, are there any other holidays in the states? i guess there's the 4th of july and thanksgiving but both celebrate imperialism/colonialism and i don't want to write about that so i'm gonna pretend there aren't. plus i doubt shadowhunters celebrated those either

so ok we have izzy and clary with no holidays, we don't know whether or not maia is culturally christian and i don't wanna just say "yes" by default... and then there's meliorn whose holidays and traditions will be typical to seelie culture, which are gonna be... unique to them obviously. we don't know how they are celebrated, how long they last, what is the milestone, how or even IF they count time - like maybe they go by when a specific flower blooms and that only happens every 10 gregorian years or some shit. so that's a question mark i guess

and there's also the fact that the seelie realm is very politically closed which. i like to think changes once they get rid of the old queen! but it's still a slow process to just allow other people there. then again izzy was a shadowhunter and she used to hop by so it's probably not a huge deal for meliorn to bring their partners and metamours to seelie celebrations? or at least to the ones that aren't Super Sacred or anything. so like parties and dances and stuff like that? yeah. which i guess brings me back to the other "meta" i wrote about seelie dances (link) and what it would be like for the rest of the polycule to participate in those and shit

then... well obviously there's the gregorian new year which we have obviously just gone through (well, we had when i started answering this ask. it's march now so rip. update it's april now. i'm so sorry anon) so like! i think it was always kind of hell for both raphael and maia, autistic icons, because of all the explosion sounds that just made them feel really upset and feel really stupid for it. with raphael i think it was more bearable when he had rosa because she would spend the day with him and hug him and let him squeeze the stress out you know dauhdasuihda also she was always the one he felt the most comfortable stimming in front of. and then after he lost her it only got worse because on top of the fireworks there was the clear absence of rosa that he just FELT everywhere. you know?

and with maia there's the added trouble of her being AMAB and what with being raised to "black men" standarts of masculinity (to be clear, as in: due to racism black men are expected to be even more macho than white men, ESPECIALLY by nonblack ppl; not as in wow black ppl are so backwards or whatever. white ppl invented gender norms anyway so lmao), she was definitely shamed a lot for being so distressed by the fireworks when she was little methinks. we love that combination of transphobia, racism and ableism! so it was just hard and filled with bad memories. and then once she ran away from home it got marginally better without the constant telling her to "man up" and shit like that, but it still came with the added memories you know

and also with them (plus simon) being vampires/werewolves the hearing gets even more sensitive so that's... fun. meliorn realizes it stresses them out and makes up a special kind of spell that muffles their hearing of background noise, so they can feel more comfortable and for the first time there is not that added stress that comes with the new years and it feels so nice?? they even try watching the fireworks but it's kinda like eh, not that great, especially because even looking at them brings out memories you know doahdsaoh so instead meliorn shows them some magic and it's so much prettier with all the glowing lights and stuff, you know?

maybe after that the polycule starts spending the new years in the seelie realm instead, that'd be cute, just like. enjoying that pretty place with all the lights and shit. i think they would all prepare some kind of light show some way or another like using magic and witchlights and whatnot. that'd be cute

as for other holidays! i think their holiday traditions would start with simon's first yom kippur after he was able to eat solid foods again (shut up a potion WILL be created and i don't accept any other option). before that, with simon being unable to eat, he was also obviously unable to fast. he wouldn't feed during yom kippur but it's not like vampires need to drink blood every day so it's not really the same thing. and it felt particularly lonely that, besides being away from his family and community, he also couldn't fast

i mean obviously simon isn't the only jewish vampire in the world, or jewish downworlder for that matter, so i'm sure he makes jewish friends he would at least get together and pray with for yom kippur, and that's what matters the most, really, but being unable to fast when he wants to and also not being able to participate in the break-fast meal just. sucks djdnudhsus

and then he's able to eat and he can do all that again! but it's also kind of emotionally charged for all of the vampires to fast for the first time when for so long they associated not eating with feeling unhuman, you feel? so like it kind of hits all of them hard

so the polycule decides to make him a little surprise and cooks the break-fast meal for them. clary probably knows what simon and his family used to eat after yom kippur so they try to recreate that for him? and maia and raphael are lowkey nervous about it because they had never made stuff like noodle kugel before and while they could at least try it (yay potion!) they have no idea if it's tasting like it should, ya know what i mean? and it's kind of sweet that they are so worried about making this the best possible experience for simon and the closest to home it can get. and simon is super emotional about getting to eat that stuff for the first time, as well as the other vampires, so you know. it's very emotional all around. but in a good way? and i think after that it kind of becomes a tradition that they make him the break-fast meal after yom kippur too

and then the next years they lowkey fuss over him for the last meal before the fast too, which i'm not sure is something simon would do with other people so they would go ham, dude, particularly raphael because he is a worrier first and foremost. so catch his ass all lovingly planning a meal he can make with zero (0) salt whatsoever so simon doesn't get too thirsty during the fast for MONTHS, planning so he gets the most amount of sustenance, lots of fiber, etc., and simon is like "you know i don't even have to eat, right?" but rapha is just all "you know food still matters" and simon doesn't say anything because it does. it matters a lot

and raphael is all sweetly nervous because like... it is a simple meal, that is the point, but he still wants simon to enjoy it and simon can't stop smiling through the whole thing. raphael and the others also eat it with him too in solidarity before simon goes to the synagogue with his community and it's like a sweet send off you know?

also this is not exactly a celebration or a tradition for that matter but since YK is the day of forgiveness i like to think that eventually simon asks for raphael's forgiveness on YK for the whole rosa thing, and although that isn't religious for raphael, raphael asking for his forgiveness for how everything went down, too. and it's just a sweet moment where they leave this whole story behind and look for a better future - i imagine this happening before they get together, so again, it doesn't really count as an answer to your question, but i just thought i'd include it because i find it sweet

then after that there is sukkot and i just really loove the idea of them helping him build the sukkah (for those who don't know, the sukkah is a hut covered with vegetation under the open sky, where jewish ppl live in for the duration of the sukkot). i know that they could just buy a certified one but where is the fun in that when we could have shenanigans? also i think that that would have been part of simon's personal/family traditions because i bet him and becca loved to build the sukkah for their family. so like on that spirit it is a little sad that they can't help each other with that anymore since simon can't be seen by the rest of his family, but of course as soon as he mentions it and how fun it used to be the whole polycule is Immediately On Board. let's help simon build his sukkah!

first of all other than simon none of them have ever built a sukkah before and simon usually followed becca's lead tbh, also he's just not great to Lead And Control people in general, and the polycule is already messy as all fuck. so it's a disaster, especially with raphael and simon's superspeed and strength thrown into the mix, and meliorn's almost impossible to hold back mischievous nature. izzy is lowkey responsible for keeping them in check and okay now that i think about it clary might have helped simon's family build it before, especially when she was a kid because kids just love that shit, but i don't know if she would remember the steps tbh (read: she wouldn't remember the steps) so yeah all in all the sukkah falls down more often than not and they might have to replace a few materials when simon and raphael accidentally snap their bamboo poles in half. rip

meliorn is probably all like "you are all weak and pathetic, i am a seelie, i can literally control living things. simon needs a vegetable covering? watch me get all the nearby trees to form a beautiful roof" and simon is like "actually the sechach cannot be alive" and meliorn slowly dies because they have no power over dead nature. also simon forbids magic usage in general because this needs to be an authentic building experience for him, so meliorn is left as the most useless one since they only have experience building these things using magic and the help of the trees or whatever

also i bet they would love to go EXTREMELY hard on the lights and decorations. i know that hassidic and to my understanding general orthodox jewish communities don't decorate the sukkah but i don't hc simon as part of those communities so i think he would want to decorate the sukkah. like even if it isn't fully covered in decorations, he would want what few he has to be well done, you know what i mean? like he would want to make the holiday posters himself (i dont know if it would be appropriate for clary to help make these but if it would, she totally would and i like the idea of simon giving her a very specific prompt to make the posters and clary doing it for him, you know? and maybe them all helping paint it with colorful themes), making decorations, and okay, at the very least fairy lightning? please? come on. it's another whole ass dramatic experience to get electricity in there so that's fun for sure, but i think meliorn and maia in particular would be all over the idea of making a pretty lightning system, and simon is definitely not gonna complain because he loves pretty things and the idea sounds rad. raphael smiles fondly through it all and basically saves the day by being the only one with organizational skills who is actually able to help them make a working plan for the sukkah

(catch these idiots making a blueprint. TRY and tell me they wouldn't)

(every year they make a new blueprint and the sukkah has different designs and proportions - always following the requirements like having four at least 32 inches tall walls, of course - and they start completely anew. the sechach must always be new but not the general structure, but they redo the structure anyway because again, it's fun)

and then of course they have meals together in the sukkah for the duration of sukkot and just idk i really dig the idea of the lot of them holding trays of food wearing oven mitts as they get inside and turn on the lights and it feels really nice and sweet you know? and then of course promptly turns kind of messy because it's their way but that's what they want. also, at least once a year they manage to sneak becca in for a meal with simon in the sukkah and they are just both so happy and aaaaa :')

and that's how "kidnapping" becca so she can see simon and his sukkah becomes another tradition lmao. they do it in the most dramatic full of flair way they possibly can while still not being found out and then promptly tell simon all about it in the most dramatic and exaggerated retelling during the meal, which always makes both simon and becca laugh (reality: becca just told her parents she would be off for a few hours to do some school thing or something and then they picked her up and she got a superspeed piggyback ride so she and simon wouldn't miss a minute. their story: "it all began with a carefully planted lie,")

there's also pesach which many (reform) jewish friends of mine have told me they like to do with goyim because the whole point of that holiday is to welcome strangers and share jewish history, so i think simon would like to do that as well. so yeah i think simon would enjoy having them with him during the Pesach Seder - again i think simon would want to be with his other jewish friends but it would be fun because they all could bring their pet goyim that they know would be respectful and nice to have around, run the Seder, and celebrate with them. also for their first one i think simon would have gotten excited about explaining the order/15 steps to them, so like cue lots of fond looks as simon tells them everything about it, how this is the first time he'll be able to have the feast, the four cups of wine, and how he's excited even to have the bitter herbs again. and then over the years they all become pretty much used to the 15 steps, they come naturally, they know what to expect, they already know the story of the Exodus after retelling it every year, and it's nice both when it's new and he gets to share and when it starts to be something in their element because it became their tradition and they want to be there with simon for the holidays, you know what i mean?

then there's purim!!!!!!!! god they would sure have so much fun on purim it gets me really excited to think about. purim might be the one that they get to participate the most in from what i've seen, and i have lots of thoughts about it, like:

first of all, making hamantaschen!! they each make a batch with a different stuffing and it's lowkey a competition and lowkey a surprise and as always with cooking together it is very fun and homey. and also kind of silly as they usually are, but purim is a holiday that is kind of supposed to be silly and for ppl to let go so it matches that mood, you know what i mean? like they're all covered in flour and "stop trying to LOOK at what i'm making!" and blind testing and stuff

then, food gifts! so from what i've seen it is preferable that the food gifts jewish ppl send each other on purim are sent by a third party, which is usually a kid, but they don't know many kids and i really like the idea of the polycule serving as simon's messengers for the day lmao. going everywhere round the shadow world and beyond ("hey mel since you can portal i have this friend in argentina-") and then bringing him the other gifts people send simon in return :)

dressing up in costumes! there is absolutely no way simon doesn't dress up for purim and the whole polycule is absolutely dragged into it, including an absolutely reluctant raphael. it quickly becomes a tradition tho that they change costumes every year and try to make them funnier and more outrageous (as you do) as time goes by. trust the polycule to turn pretty much everything into a competition. and simon always laughs with so much glee and joy when he gets to see what everyone dresses up as so really, how could they say no?

(maia "wins", like, every year. she is totally huge on costumes and her and simon are very attuned in that sense, so, you know. catch her dressing up as memes and just generally making the most creative costumes. she may or may not think them months and months ahead of time)

maybe they hold purim meals with particularly themed costumes every once in a while when they want to spice it up, but i think generally it's more of a freestyle thing

simon also loves reading the purim torah tbh, it's just fun. and then of course there's the megillah and booing when haman's name is mentioned. they are all banned from using graggers because half of them have superstrength and the other half doesn't technically have superstrength but is still super strong and they destroyed the poor thing on accident after the first ten seconds when they tried

food yay! and the very long meal. they usually get pretty drunk, tbh, at least the ones that can. and just generally i think it's one of their favorite celebrations to do together and more often than not ends in them all curled up together in the couch so u know, that's sweet uwu

and then of course rosh hashanah, which is the holiest joyous day in jewish tradition, so of course it's a huge deal for them all. and i just think they would all be super excited about making the evening (especially the meal ofc) the most incredible for simon it could possibly be. again i think simon would want to spend it with his downworlder jewish friends and community, and they probably have their own synagogue they go to together and everything, so obviously they are all involved in making preparations for rosh hashanah, but i like to think the polcyule and simon's friends' pet goyim would help with what they can as well (provided it's not something that should be done by a jewish person like baking the challah; but if not with cooking, they would at least want to help with stuff like decorations and the like. honestly i imagine all of simon's partners sitting together very seriously with a paper in front of them writing down all the stuff they can do to help with rosh hashanah preparations and everything. especially once they learn that like being happy/joyous is a mitzvah so they're just like "we want to make u as happy as possible then :)" and it's sweet and simon may or may not tear up a little)

and then we have other holidays that aren't associated with religion like halloween, which was kind of implied to be the official downworld holiday, so i'm pretty sure they go big on that too. not dressing up because again, one day where they can all afford to be themselves, but definitely meeting up at the hunter's moon, getting spectacularly drunk, roasting the mundane's costumes, and then once they get back to whichever of them's homes, watching some shitty movies and throwing stuff at the screen together

i'm on the fence about día de muertos. i know it's not exactly a sad holiday but i feel like it is for raphael because it kind of represents everything he's lost - his culture and his family, and he can't even go to the parade during the day, you know, although i'm not sure that would have been his thing, but i do think he would have loved to watch the arrival of the monarchs when he was a kid but he'd have to be in méxico for that. and particularly after he lost rosa i just feel like it would have been so emotionally charged for him, you know? he would definitely make her an altar every year and it would be just... big and well thought-out and something really emotional and important for him, welcoming his little sister back the best he can. and i feel like that's something he'd want to do alone because my boy loves to punish himself

but there are little things i think they would have wanted to do with him, and that they might push a little to be able to, like being with him while he eats by the altar and hearing him tell stories about rosita. and i think they would help him "undo" (?) the altar once día de muertos is over, which is always extra emotional for him and aaa. and then the next day they kind of just get to be with him and cuddle a little bit as he recovers emotionally, you know?

also it has just occured to me that raphael is christian shit fuck fart bitch cock. so okay i guess that puts xmas and easter somewhat on the map? again mostly for food. us latinos celebrate xmas on the eve, not on xmas day, and raphael is totally the insufferable xmas meal obsessed bitch who's on the kitchen all day and refuses to let anyone help (he can't pull that particular stunt for the meals they have for simon's holidays obviously but he can on xmas soo). but it's worth it because it is always a great one. and he also gives a lot of thought into getting everyone presents so that is sweet and it earns him lots of kisses on the cheek and stuff. and that's pretty much it for latino xmas, we don't really do stuff i'm still not convinced gringos haven't made up like the socks and the eggnog and xmas music (????) so it's more lowkey. and i think raphael would keep the more religious aspects of it to the stuff he does at church (again, there are downworlder religious communities idk what to tell u) and for the nursery home. which is not to say that like... oh wow xmas is totally not a xtian holiday! or whatever, just that the version the polycule does is more lowkey on the religious aspects and the things they do together on that day are more about being together with raphael on a day that matters to him, you know, especially since again, he is the only xtian and that's gonna be a sensitive thing for simon especially

and i think for easter it is mostly something they do to shower maia in sweets lmao. again she misses chocolate and i'm sure they spend a lot of their time trying to figure out how to get around that, either be by like trying to make special chocolate that doesn't make her sick or sweets that really really resemble chocolate or that are so good she doesn't even mind that she can't eat chocolate anymore. so that's their tradition for easter (and raphael goes to church ofc)

oh yeah and i forgot valentine's day! i have this funny little idea just for the shits where they have this little thing where they setup one-on-one dates for all the parts that are actually together and each of them lasts, like, 10 minutes (poor maia who dates everyone is just running around town) and it's more about the fun of running around from one day to the other like this is a bad romcom where some bastard is trying to juggle having two (monog) girlfriends at once. but then they actually get all together at the end of the day and trade presents and funny cards both among their dates and metamours ("roses are red, violets are blue, you're my girlfriend's girlfriend, and i love you platonically"). usually ending up with them drunk and debating how exactly they got to this overly complicated arrangement and trying to figure out the best way to explain this to an outsider and trying to make, like, fluxograms that explain all of their different relationships visually and they all look so messy it just leaves them more confused lmao. so yeah it's fun

and i think that's all i've got? i say, as if this answer isn't longer than anyone will have the time to read and took me over 4 months to write. but anyway

a special thanks to "a group where non-jews can ask questions about judaism and jews can answer" on facebook and all my jewish friends for helping me write about the jewish holidays and customs. i also used the following sources: Rosh Hashanah (link), how to build the sukkah (link), more on the sukkah (link), how to celebrate purim (link), more on purim (link), how to celebrate passover (link), what is a passover seder like (link), laws of yom tov (link), yom kippur (link), what to eat before and after yom kippur (link), a classic yom kippur breakfast menu (link), menus for the pre yom kippur meal (link). if there's anything inaccurate or disrespectful, however, please let me know, and feel free to add more ideas as well if you're jewish :)
