robert lightwood once again failing miserably at beating the "repressed homosexual" allegations 🙏

GUUUYS art trade with @asmogorna can you believe

[helenofblackthorns]

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.

Although I love the Shadowhunter characters, I can't forget their social context. I don't expect them to be perfect parents, perfect couples or perfect characters just because I love them, I think they have strengths and weaknesses (like Alec, who learns quickly but has been raised in a colonial world and must learn day by day not to replicate that violence, Julian used to lying rather than trying to dialogue because that was his only solution as a child or Tessa, who escaped from her family because she wanted to avoid the pain of loss).

Idealizing characters in a book series, that is precisely about learning to grow and accepting our past mistakes to learn from them, is forgetting the entire meaning of the books.

I think Robert is the best example of this. When he was young he made a lot of mistakes, he married a woman even though he didn't love her, he was strict with his children and lost their trust, he insulted his best friend for something he couldn't change about himself and it was nothing wrong. But over time he learned, apologized, was a better father, got divorced and reconciled with his emotions for Michael.

Jace probably has to fight not to be a controlling father and Clary has trust issues with her children and friends, Alec doesn't know how to have a non-white family, much less one of Downwolders, and Izzy can't trust her own partner. Emma spent years following a murderer who sat at her table, Julian dangerously borders on sociopathy, Ty LITERALLY got into playing necromancer, and Dru and Helen feel like strangers in their own home.

But they will learn, because that's what shadowhunters is all about.

It's okay not to know everything today.

Happy PRIDE 2024 🏳️‍🌈

A tribute to the LGBTQIA+ representation throughout generations of TSC characters.

I had so much fun creating these individual pieces and compiling them together on this bulletin board. Each photograph has a little piece of PRIDE element in it (see below) and all around the board are little tributes to other characters.

I hope you like it and you all have a safe and happy Pride month! 💕✨

Let me know if you can find all the representation of other characters on the board!

This is like Robert Lightwood and Michael Wayland

big fan of 'i'd find you in every universe'. BIGGER fan of 'there are maybe five universes where we find each other and in four of them it ends badly i think we're some kind of anomaly i think every law of everything points towards this being the death of us. but we could try to save it anyway.' THATS the good shit.

[wikitpowers]

this still breaks me in ways that nothing else can

(the hug looks so emotional & tender i can’t breathe)

Como olvidar cuando Robert y Michael se fueron a trabajar a My Dress Up Darling después de la muerte XD

@lanliangsu @dayque ;)

When all else fails, there is always time for a collage.

[gloomtowndaydream]

i don't need chris and will to make a litwtc episode covering the will wood hair lore, i need them to make an episode covering the people that ship will with gerard way

[honeyheart]

I'm actually going crazy. I just remembered that Kit saw Michael's ghost when they were having Robert's funeral. Michael loved Robert so much that he stayed with him even in death, even after Robert was terrible to him.

[alesardesign]

The Circle ‘Fandom’

I really adore the circle, however sometimes it’s really disheartening how small the fandom is and sometimes it feels like a waste of time. Not be a downer, or to seem so wrapped up in views and stuff, however fandom is about the interactions and community and I’m just kinda wondering if it’s worth putting so much effort into, because I find myself researching or getting frustrated over the fic not being engaging enough to even be read through, and then realize, well, there’s a chance it might not even be read at all spare 3 people and myself. And that’s alright and everything, but I don’t necessarily want to work so hard to publish for something that’s not even going to be read. I’ll just keep it to myself in that case and enjoy my maladaptive daydreaming. So here’s the the question, and be honest.

[dayque]

Do you think Robert was so willing to help Emma and Julian with the whole in love parabatais thing because it reminded him of his own experience with Michael?

[balladofbells]

they haunt me.
