@leightaylorwrites Hi! So I replied to your new thread, might you add that this is my tumblr when you make the blog post? I’d appreciate it but no worries

[laffbending]

leightaylorwrites reblogged your post:leightaylorwrites: i feel like malec shippers are...

if you dont care then why did you ask

it doesn’t matter because it’s either straight ignorance or you being a self-hating queer to make you say that, but you won’t see this since you blocked me for my response.

also been told you were super vehement about wanting alec to die during the s1 to s2 hiatus so like... that really just informs where you’re making that post from. have fun with the sales on your book tho :)!

[tmi-tv-show-news]

This blog reached 50 thousand followers!!! That’s insane! Thank you guys so so much for following and sticking around these past 2 and a half years! I’m kinda breaking my own rules by doing this follow forever but I wanted to give back in some way and this seemed like the best thing to do to say thank you.

Firstly, I would like to thank @lightwoodes for the gorgeous banner (all of you should go follow her. Her edits are so beautiful and her talent amazes me and Nancy you’re great). 

Second, as this blog is actually a side blog, all of these accounts mentioned will only know I follow them as @myfandomtopia, my main blog.

Third, this isn’t everyone I follow, but more of a collection of the shadowhunters blogs I follow, specific shadowhunters news blogs, and close friends/mutuals in the fandom who deserve more love.

Anyways, thank you all for following me! I still can’t believe how many of you there are. But yeah, I’m really proud of this blog, of all my work for it and of how far it’s come. I started it for me, but I don’t only continue it for me, I also continue for you and because of you. So thanks for being here.

Cover changes and War Wednesdays

I’ve been mostly gone from the social media world for a little bit because I needed some time to focus on publishing and college. While War is still postponed, I AM going to publish it. I know that some of you have read Epic and are eagerly awaiting War, so every Wednesday from now until its publication, I’ll be having a War Wednesday where I answer any questions (well, any non-spoiler questions) for the series, as well as share snippets from the upcoming book.

Side note: if you aren’t aware of what’s holding up the publishing of War, head over here.

The cover for War is primed and ready to go, which is awesome because that’s getting us one step closer to the final book being in your hands (or on your ereaders), but I’m not revealing it until this upcoming Wednesday for the first War Wednesday. 

But since series need matching covers and I’d been wanting a new cover for Epic for a while now, Epic has gotten a new cover and it’s

f-wording beautiful.

If you’ve already purchased a copy of Epic, you’ll have the original, space-themed cover, but if you get a copy now, you’ll have the sword cover. 

For more information on Epic and where to get a copy, click here. 

Back into the writing hole I go to prep for NaNoWriMo (I refuse to end my winning streak).

This might be a stretch but um I mean the cast said a musical episode would be possible and now Javier Muñoz, a broadway star, will be in a few episodes of Shadowhunters, which already has actors with singing and dancing skills, plus Alberto was back in the recording studio soooooooo��👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀  👀

The Dead Kids Club: A Review

Written by L. Taylor, this YA murder-mistery tells the story of Dani Donovan, who, has her life completely messed up when one of her friends, Scotia, dissapears, and the last place she was seen was at Dani’s house, during one of her parties. The police shows up and starts sniffing around, while rumours begin to spread as to what actually happened that night, and how much Dani was involved with it. She knows she hasn’t done anything, but soon, the idea of one of her friends being guilty turns into a real possibility.

This book is very captivating with dark turns and plot twists at every corner, surprising you in almost every way, and the ending! You will never guess who the real killer is, you just won’t, I promise you. There’s very few moments where the narration feels a bit info-dumpy (like two or three at most), or the pacing a little fast, but overall, it’s extremely well written and will keep you at the edge of your seat.

What really makes the story for me, though, it’s the characters. Each one of them is shadier than the other, each trying to keep their own secrets. They are incredibly well developed, and there were characters I loved, that I didn’t like, that I despised and ones that made me feel kind of sick for liking them, but all of them are really interesting.

The romantic subplot is extremely creepy and unnerving, but it’s still very compeling. It made me uncomfortable, but it also made me want to read more of it. It doesn’t feel rushed or out of place (except for the obvious reasons you’ll see if you read it), and I throughly enjoyed reading these two characters interact until the very end.

Overall, it is a great book, well-written, with captivating plot and characters. It became easily one of my favorite books, and I’m already re-reading it, because you know, i can’t enjoy anything without letting it consume my soul.

 You can buy it here, for only $4!

Blocked by @leightaylorwrites for telling them that trade marking prevents generic words from owned. XD I’m guessing none of their IPs will ever be protected by trade marks since it apparently doesn’t exist.

I don’t think this person understands a single thing about language. But yeah, call me a moron and block me... 

Their original post:

When white people use slang black people invented: okay

When white people use slang black people invented incorrectly: wtf

They also said:

Okay that’s nice but this post was more about black culture being stolen than slang usage

They have absolutely zero idea how language works. Language is not race based, it’s region based. No one owns a language, it’s a free thing anyone can use. And when y’all stop saying certain words that aren’t black were invented by black people, then maybe your hypocritical asses can start talking. People don’t even know black culture’s history or what black culture even is. Too many people have different ideas on that one for there to be a general consensus, unless you’re going for bad stereotypes.
