Who makes the best husband? I updated my 'Aidan's Characters as Husband Material' to include a few more recent roles. There's a new winner, for me at least, with the addition of these roles: Declan O'Hara takes first place, while Russel would be a good back-up. And as always, I just can't deal without plumbing and birth control, so these things are mentioned on each card.

The show really fucked up by killing Jocelyn

Thinking about Lukelyn/Lucelyn/Joceluke whatever their ship name is. I really have no idea. But I wish we got to see them in the show like we did in the books

Okay, I need to talk about this passage from City of Bones

Something that comes up a couple of times in regards to the Circle era is that all the modern kids kind of look down on the previous generation for buying into all of this bullshit, much like the readers probably do. Clary is a modern American teenager, of course she hears about Valentine and immediately sees the obvious parallels to white supremacy, of course she can't believe that her family would go along with that and knows that she would do better. And Luke doesn't argue with her, or try to defend his assertation that Valentine wasn't always evil. Even if Valentine was Luke's friend at first, he still should have known better than to let things go so far. Jocelyn should have known better, the Lightwoods should have known better, they all should have known better. But they didn't, and neither does Clary.

Even though she's able to identify Valentine's rhetoric as hateful when she's learning about it as "things said by this mass murderer," she still repeats the same stuff after picking it up from people she trusts. Clary falls into the classic progressive pitfall of lumping opinions into right and wrong; people into good and evil. Luke isn't trying to convince her that Valentine was actually a good person or that it's okay to do a little violent hate crime as a teenager, he's trying to point out that knowing which people to label as "evil" doesn't actually do anything to make you an ally to the people being oppressed. She can hate Valentine, but can she see werewolves and vampires as people equal to herself?

The answer is yes, obviously she can. But it's only because she has people like Luke there to call her out when she does something out of line. Luke fell for that stuff too as a teenager, but he took the time to unpack all those hateful beliefs, and so has a much better understanding of how to live up to his ideals than the kid who's never done anything wrong in her life.

In addition, I really like that the book wasn't afraid to acknowledge how Valentine is definitely analagous to white supremacists. Most stories with some sort of fantasy discrimination act like this is the only bigotry and their characters have never heard of racism, but that automatically flattens the world. Clary thinks she knows enough about racism to apply those lessons from history onto a new situation, but she clearly isn't actually ready to practice what she preaches.

Also, this is by no means a Clary hate post. I love that she's a flawed character and that the narrative acknowledges this and lets her grow from it. A lot of stories would be afraid to look at the protagonist (who's kinda a reader insert) and go "you are not immune to propaganda," but it's an important thing to make the kids reading these books aware of. Clary isn't evil, but she did do some harmful things and has to reckon with that potential for hate within herself before it goes any farther.

It's not perfect and it's not a complete education on anti-discrimination, but it's better than what you might expect from a YA urban fantasy novel published in 2007. Hell, it's better than you expect from a lot of people active online today.

The fact that the only adult with common sense in the first half of tmi was Luke is insane to me

Like he was always trying to protect clary and jace even tho they were impulsive as shit and also in COA when everyone was blaming Jace for EVERYTHING and treating him like shit bc he was valentine's son and he went to visit valentine bc Jace knew that all his loved ones were hating him, and the only one with enough braincells to say: "hey I think if the kid is going to a psychopath that abused him as a child, looking for comfort bc he doesn't have anyone on his side is bc we adults FUCKED UP" WAS LUKE AND EVEN THEN THE LIGHTWOODS AND THE INQUISITOR JUST DECIDED TO IGNORE HIM AND PUT JACE ON JAIL?????????

I love lukie pookie NO ONE could make me hate u🤞🏼

Sometimes, I really wonder how Valentine and Luke passed the test of water for becoming Parabatai in the first place.

You're telling me that a very drugged Valentine thought HIS life was in danger and still chose to save Luke? Without being conscious that it wasn't real, without knowing it was a test? Huh?

Does anyone else just randomly remember that Sister Celophas is Luke Garroway's mother? And that she left Amatis to raise him when they were still very small? Cause that's wild. We don’t even know why she left them! Was it after her husband died? Was she sick, similarly to Jem becoming Brother Zachariah?

[omgserafinablog]

Okay, I honestly don't understand why Jocelyn chose Valentine out of the two of them, with his fascist hairstyle and the eternal expression of a rested bitch on his face, and that's not to mention his shitty character. Luke is a hundred times more attractive, and in general, he's a good guy❤️😍 who always took care of her, unlike the fascist

Moreover, she had managed to ignore him for so many years🤷

p.s. Oh, and no wonder Valentine got jealous and decided to get rid of Luke-deep down in his disgusting soul, he knew that his parabatai was better than himself!
