robert lightwood's character is so crazy like in tmi he's just alec's homophobic dad and then all of sudden your reading his internal monologues about how he doesn't like women and feels like he's performing in nearly every aspect of his life and how weirdly close him and his bestie (who's in love with him) are. like huh.

Rereading the books, I noticed that Valentine's appearance is so often compared to sculpture, and if nothing had been said about other Morgensterns - about which very little has been said, I would have thought that this was a joke by some demon which revived the sculpture from the Louvre🤨
"His features were smooth and sharp at once, like sculpted ice" - The Evil We Love
"The white-haired man looked older than the other leaders, but Magnus was not sure if he was actually older or if cold purpose simply made his face seem carved from marble. Magnus wanted to smash it"; "Valentine's face was as white as bone. He resembled a statue more than ever" - The Last Stand of the New York Institute
"He was handsome the way a statue was handsome: perfectly sculpted, unyielding as stone"  - The Wicked Ones
It was strange, Clary thought with a detached sort of horror, that when she had seen her father before at Renwick’s, his considerable personal charisma had been on display for Jace’s benefit. Now he wasn’t bothering, and without the surface patina of charm, he seemed—empty. Like a hollow statue, eyes cut out to show only darkness inside. - City of Ashes

I am very interested in their relationship, although most likely their friendship was very toxic. Did Luke even realize that Valentine had betrayed him before, even before he handed him the dagger and told him to kill himself? Valentine betrayed him when he framed him, he betrayed their friendship, their parabatai bond... And after that, Luke didn't hate him. And after that, it's Valentine who accuses Luke of betrayal! Ah, I want a story about them!
A little reminder: Luke realized he was in love with Jocelyn when Valentine started dating her. The curse of the parabatai "one woman for two"?

i hate Robert Lightwood. like i knew this was coming. i knew what happened between him and michael, I've read it before, but I forgot how selfish he was. they were parabatai and Michael trusted him enough to come out to him and he hurts him and says he's disgusting just to save himself and his image

rereading tftsa now, specifically the evil we love, is odd. because in the WEIRDEST way possible and a way i never would think to read robert, his narrative in the story almost reads like a queer/aro character. and let me be clear i DONT mean the cheating LMFAO. hes still shitty for that. looking at other women. but the way he describes feeling as if something was wrong with him (not just for looking at women who were not maryse) and he was missing something fundamentally. that he didnt understand what ‘real’ love was and that he couldnt imagine a life outside/beyond/more important than his partnership with michael. the description of it is almost alarmingly personal to me. the way he sees michael as his only constant relationship, like a platonic life partner. it just makes me think of my journey and others’ and feelings about being aromantic and trying to parse out romantic attraction. anyways. hes still shitty and it makes me want to cry and sob what happened between michael and him and i wish they wouldve just kissed and made up fr…..sigh

Love, real love, is being seen. Being known. Knowing the ugliest part of someone, and loving them anyway. And . . . I guess I think two people in love become something else, something more than the sum of their parts, you know? That it must be like you’re creating a new world that exists just for the two of you. You’re gods of your own pocket universe.” He laughed a little then, as if he felt foolish. “That must sound ridiculous.”
-Michael Wayland to Robert Lightwood(Tales from the Shadowhunters academy; Cassandra Clare)

love how being in love with your parabatai is super duper illegal and yet this fact is never once mentioned (or even alluded to) in The Evil We Love. which could mean nothing.

I watched "the hunger games the ballad of songbirds and snakes" and it seemed to me that he would be the perfect young Valentine!

Whenever I see someone who is not Brazilian using this gif I wonder if they know that it is from a Brazilian soapopera from the 2000s called senhora do destino (mistress of destiny) that has a chokehold on pop culture to this day
Tumblr media
This character is the villain of the story, who steals a baby from another woman and raises the kid as her own. She kills a bunch of people usually by pushing them down the stairs or with scissors and this scene from the meme is her slowly going mad when she realizes she’s getting her comeuppance and going to prison. It is a tragic story but she is a meme because she is stereotypically evil and has lines that are comical and are memes 20 years later such as seeing a gay couple and going “dykes… I can smell the leather from afar”
Tumblr media
This one just says “Maria de Nazaré Tedesco, that big hot blonde”
Tumblr media
This one is just “first you get born again then you brush your teeth, do some gurgling and then you get a grip on yourself”
Tumblr media
she’s evil and iconic, a villain like no other
