#it's especially galling for hotd because Some of the changes these people cannot stop whining about

[navree]

people who get angry at me for saying that pissy book purist fans are always welcome to not watch hotd if they hate the changes so much are so funny because, like, i am a fan of the mortal instruments. not only am i fan, i read those books at a formative time in my life that has left me with a lifelong emotional investment in that story even over a decade after the fact. and the mortal instruments got adapted into the shadowhunters show. the shadowhunters show. you think i don't know what it's like when a tv series adaptation makes a bunch of changes to the source material that i am viscerally against?? when a book series whose last installment i stayed up until one in the morning to read before a final exam got adapted into the shadowhunters show????

thing is, after watching the pilot and realizing they were making a bunch of changes i didn't like and wasn't enjoying and that i didn't like the show, i stopped watching the show and never ever went back. it is in fact that easy. especially if you're not a little piss baby who hates women.
