GUUUYS art trade with @asmogorna can you believe

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!

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.

[darcyolsson]

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

[scarletv0id]

Am I good at editing photos? God no! I literally just put these in Google Drive and then screen shotted it. But I still thought I'd throw it on here for any My Chemical Overreaction enjoyers.

[alesardesign]

[asmogorna]

Though idk if I should stop tagging them as that .. Ough what do different fandoms do when such situation occurs

[stuffypuddle]

no way I forgot to post this back then

anyway...

[helenofblackthorns]

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.

[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?

[edwin-paynes-bowtie]

I saw this post and had Waywood feelings

[tyhxrondxle]

most random moment, most random day of the most random year and there goes my brain giving itself a TED talk about Waywood and why it was obviously written in their story in tftsa that Robert did feel something for him

i have consumed every fic (twice, it’s good luck that I have no long or short term memory so I can reread them every time I feel like it) and now i’m losing my mind!!!!
