in universe aftg memes are so funny it gets me every single fucking time just imagine liking a sport but it turns out the mafia is involved and riko moriyama is literally a psycho and his brother killed him and seth gordon fucking died and aaron minyard killed someone and neil josten's dad is the butcher and kevin day has never been skiing and jean moreau was kidnapped from the ravens and then there's jeremy knox

#all for the game #YES but then also the fact that this is all happening at the college level??? i’d be losing my mind wondering what’s going on w/ pro teams

So I already once said that I think nearly every TSC blog specializes mostly on one TSC series. And now I‘m curios: Which TSC series do you feel most passionate about/post about the most?

Please remain respectful about someone else‘s favourite! :)

#shadowhunter chronicles #i wouldn’t consider myself a tsc blog per se BUT tid will always hold a special place in my heart #first and foremost though i am an alec lightwood blog. nothing can break the bond between a girl* and his favorite character since he was 15

the first rule of tragedy is to have fun and be yourself. the second is to think about the themes forever and ever

if we were villains is truly one of those books where every other post i see i’m like you don’t get her like i do…. before i started rereading it but especially now that i’m rereading it. sorry but it’s not about oliver and james being (gasp) gay, and i can’t stand seeing so many people talking about it like a Gay book. even if oliver and james’ relationship is central to the plot it’s not a romance!!! it’s very much a tragedy!!! and it’s not even subtle with “fourth year, the year of the tragedy” and “that’s how a tragedy like ours or lear’s breaks your heart”. and on that level everyone who says how they’re sure james is alive and happy with oliver is missing the point of the book. it’s meant to be ambiguous that’s literally. the point of the ending and why m.l. rio has said she won’t talk about what she intended the answer to be. i know tumblr fandoms don’t do well with ambiguity in general and this book is just another example of that. again going back to the you don’t get her like i do you have to embrace the ambiguity and appreciate the ending for what it is because to me it’s sooo much more interesting than if we knew what happened to james one way or another. there’s so much fun to be had in thinking about the Implications of one or the other being true and not just going :((( but i want it to be happy :(((. iwwv is not a romance it is a tragedy and it frustrates me not seeing more people embracing that. and i’m sure a non-zero part of that comes from people not being familiar with shakespeare…. obviously you don’t have to have read a lot of shakespeare to read iwwv but 1. why would you read a book so centered around shakespeare without knowing shakespeare and 2. you’re missing out on at least half of the book imo. the metatextual elements of it are some of the most interesting parts (like fillippa bringing up a winter’s tale twice!! once in contrast to othello!! the Implications of that are INSANE (shoutout to whoever made the post about that, you get it and i love u dearly)) and shakespeaew influences the characters to such a huge degree it really helps to have at least a little knowledge of shakespeare.

anyway in conclusion. i am begging people to not read if we were villains like a romance and/or to read a few shakespeare plays before they pick up the book. y’all’s takes frustrate me so much <3

#i am so rarely a hater on main but i am a huge shakespeare fan and i love this book and i can’t stand the tumblrifying of it #one of the few media i can’t stand people making into a classic Tumblr Proprty #when people say ‘yeah i didn’t like this book much but i don’t know/like shakespeare so’ i want to start biting #is it a perfect book? no! are people doing it any favors by talking about it the way they do? also no! #i was also like that when i first read it in 2017 but it was a different time…. maybe these people will grow out of it like i did
