#ig the clave in 1989 was just psychotic

One of the funniest plotholes in TSC is how Robert and Maryse leave the circle and become Heads of the NY Institute

Like ngl the Shadowhunters prob would’ve kept Idris in 2012

If instead of being like “Due to your crimes against Shadowhunters” *the cohort takes out their knives* “Zara & Manuel & Co will be sentenced to banishment from Idris for 20 yrs and to be dispersed across institutes so they cannot plan another coup”

They were like “Due to your crimes against Shadowhunters” *takes out knives* “Zara & Manuel are sentenced to becoming the Heads of the Los Angeles Institute and only allowed back in Idris when the Council holds important votes!” *Zara & Manuel drop knives*

Zara: Wait what? (what zara was dreaming of) Nevermind everyone drop your knives!! sign me up 🙌

The Blackthorns: EXCUSE ME

Like I just can’t imagine how INQUISITOR Imogen “my grandson should be put to death” WHITELAW Herondale was totally chill with the LIGHTWOODS who were part of the CIRCLE taking control of the one of the BIGGEST Institutes in AMERICA not to mention the former residents of said Institute were WHITELAWS and Imogen’s family!! So even if she didn’t grow up in NYC she def visited her FAMILY there!! And said FAMILY was MURDERED by the LIGHTWOODS & CIRCLE CO!! Then to TOP IT ALL OFF Robert & Maryse supported the MAN WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR HER SON’S DEATH till the very end when they sold out their friends for LENIENCY

And I’m supposed to believe that they had strong enough connections and the Clave just loves Lightwood’s so much that Imogen & co had to be okay with these two college age former circle members with their one year old son just heading on over to lead one of the biggest institutes in the USA.

Mmm k ok sureee
