Julie, Idris born and bred, made a face. "What is Brangelina? It sounds like a demon."

"It does not!" George protested. "I believe in their love."

"They are not like Brangelina," Simon said. "What would you even call them? Algnus? That sounds like a foot disease."

"Obviously you would call them Malec," said Beatriz. "Are you stupid, Simon?"

Maybe it's a bit nitpicky or maybe I'm biased because I enjoy Simon/Isabelle/Sizzy but I want another Tales from Shadowhunter Academy. And this time I want it to truly focus on Simon and Izzy.  

What I mean is that while the anthology format was entertaining and showed many parts of the Shadowhunter world it necessitated Simon sharing the spotlight. He had to share with Malec in Born to an Endless Night, had to share with the Circle flashbacks in The Evil We Love. With the Blackthorns in Pale Kings and Princes. With James and Matthew in Nothing But Shadows. With Jem and Tessa in The Whitechapel Fiend. 

You get the idea. And while I do enjoy it, Malec has the original series plus the Eldest Curses dedicated to different points of their relationship and progressing their character development. Not to mention the major appearances in the last two books of The Dark Artifices and cute stories in The Bane Chronicles. 

The TMI gang and Last Hours gang also have their trilogies and stories in Ghosts of the Shadowmarket. 

And don't get me started on Clace who have some major appearances in the original series and again, Dark Artifices. 

Which yes, Isabelle and Simon appear in Dark Artifices but with much much less page time than the other four. I've mentioned it before but the favoritism seems obvious when I total all this together. 

Even the bonus story detailing Simon and Izzy's engagement also has its focus on Clary and Jace by focusing on their thoughts on the future. 

Which I think is a shame because there's so much going on with the two of them. While I enjoyed their struggles in finding each other and getting adjusted to each other's rhythms after Simon's mindwipe, there could be more especially after the events of Dark Artifices.

For one thing, What were Simon's first missions as a Shadowhunter like? Let's see how his bond with Clary has grown as parabati now? Also I want to know some more about his father and how his death impacted him. With so much focus on fathers in the original The Mortal Instruments, maybe he should pop up more as one of the few good fatherly figures even if he died when Simon was young.

Also I want some more on Isabelle's views on love. How is she handling Robert's death? Has she and her mom ever talked about how screwed up Maryse confiding in her was? Has she gotten to meet Simon's sister? 

And even though she's more open to love, maybe she still backslides in confiding too much to Simon or still secretly fears he will leave her so she withdraws. How does she feel about children? She felt so guilty about not being able to protect Max or prevent his death, maybe that colors her fears of motherhood too? 

Also since Clary and Jace are semi-friends with the Blackthorns and Malec have their friendships with Lily, Maia, Bat, Aline, Helen etc. why don't we focus on Simon's friends outside of the TMI gang. His Shadowhunter academy friends. 

I know, I'm one of the very few invested in them but invested I am. If such a book took place between TfSA and LoS, we can see a bit of Marisol and Jon living together. We can see them hanging out and going on missions as full fledged Shadowhunters like in Portugal when Zara took all the credit for the demon nest. We can finally know the distant relationship of Beatriz Velez Mendoza and Cristina Mendoza Rosales, take advantage of the tangled Shadowhunter family trees. 

We can see them reminisce about George Lovelace who was taken far too soon. We can become even more invested in them and their friendship with Simon so their deaths are more keenly felt. 

Those are just a few things that I wouldn't mind seeing in a full length book just centered on them. All about Simon and Izzy and just growing their development and characters.

Armando is a really conflicting character because of how much of a coward he is. He can't give a straight step ahead, it's always half things. He had a thing for Betty before the Plan, but when he was confronted with actually having something with her, he freaked out and feigned a disgust that was never there before. He always took Betty out to fancy places for work, it wasn't uncommon to be seen in public with her, but as soon as it was with actual intent, he freaked out and acted embarrassed even though they could have very easily just said it was purely for business. He said he was going to be public with her as soon as the meeting was over, but when Marcela catches them hugging, he immeditely denies it even though at this point he has nothing else to lose. He could only ever be honest in solitude or in front of Betty. He always lacked the courage to face society and himself.

después de interrumpir a patricia en su intento de pedirle a betty que traiga los tintos a claudia elena y compañía con un "ni se te ocurra", armando le dice a betty en frente de todos los presentes, con un tono muy dulce: qué rico verla.

“que resultaron no tan buenos como pensábamos, ni tan efectivos.” I hate Mario but god the hurtful words he would say to Armando are just chefs kiss!

#he needs to hear them😤😝 #at least we see that Armando is trying to not reveal too much about his relationship with Betty… #ysblf #betty la fea #yo soy betty la fea #armando mendoza #beatriz pinzón solano #mario calderon #capítulo 197

I can understand Marcela’s hate for Betty for being Armando’s mistress and taking part in a fraud (although she hated her long before she knew about that and I don’t buy the bs about femenine intuition), but the argument she was right to hate her for covering up Armando’s affairs doesn’t fly when we take into account that Mario did the same and she didn’t have the same energy for him. Marcela hated her because she was “ugly”, because of her status and because Armando confided in her and trusted her. She couldn’t expect Betty, a woman in precarious financial situation, to snitch on her boss, the only one that had given her a chance and had hired her despite her looks. It’s appalling how people, particularly women, bend over backwards to defend and justify abuse and violence toward another woman because of ARMANDO’s affairs.

Betty and Nicolas are in the Le Noir, and Armando is dying of jealousy but only bc he can't hear they talking.

Bc that's so much siblings energy. This is clearly an older sister fighting with her younger brother. If Armando hadn't arrived, Betty would have left there pulling Nicolas by the ears.

Me encanta ver cómo Armando puede ser malhumorado y malhumorado con todos (por ejemplo, Patricia, Mario, Marcela, Freddy, etc.), pero cuando se trata de Betty, él es el más blando. A él sólo le importa lo que ella tenga que decir o hacer. Ella es la única persona que realmente lo puso en su lugar y él no se lastimará ni se ofenderá porque sabe que ella siempre tendrá sus mejores intereses en el corazón y que sus intenciones son verdaderas. Como cuando le preguntó "¿Crees que soy neurótico?". Ella fue completamente honesta y dijo "¡Sí!, pero eres justo" y él se sorprendió porque no creo que nadie haya sido tan honesto con él y no podía estar enojado con ella porque sabe que tenía buenas intenciones. .

I love seeing how Armando can be bad-tempered and grouchy with everyone (e.g., Patricia, Mario, Marcela, Freddy, etc) but when it comes to Betty, he is the biggest softie. He only cares about what she has to say or do. She is the only person who actually put him in his place and he will not get hurt or offended because he knows that she will always have his best interests at heart and that her intentions are true. Like when he asked her “Do you think I’m neurotic?”. She was completely honest and said “Yes!, but you are just” and he was caught by surprise because I don’t think anyone has ever been that honest with him and he couldn’t be mad at her because he knows she meant well.

wanted to add to this, a more detailed opinion\explanation (??) about betty’s gaslighting arc. bc we see armando demand why she didn't tell him that that she knew about the plan and the letter. 

we know she wishes it wasn’t real, that she hopes it a very sick joke. we see her test the waters; her watching him read it, throwing it away. she keeps a copy of it and watches his moves fm then on. her decision to fuck with him isn’t premeditated, it comes at the result of knowing him. she’s seen first hand how he treats marcela (and how marcela treats him).

the night of the picasso exhibit, when they’re in the car and marcela calls him and he goes off on her, saying he’s not with anyone and betty’s face as he’s yelling at marcela--

she’s genuinely like, ‘hey, wtf is wrong with him?’. bc its so extreme. she’s seen them fight, but this is like, first hand where she only sees his side of it. and after the phone call she goes on to say,  ‘i feel bad, on top of all the lies, and you mistreating her (marcela). no, i dont feel great about it’. 

fast forward to nicolas, later on asks betty ‘when are you gonna tell him you know? or are you just going to keep doing this?’ but again, betty knows armando--knows the worst of him despite loving him. if she had confronted him about it the day she knew, he would have denied it like he denies cheating on marcela to marcela’s face. 

look, it was gaslight or be gaslit. 

a lot of fics that play with ‘if he knew when she knew, this would have happened’ don’t understand that armando is not emotionally there yet. he’s yet to grasp the depth of his feelings or understand the affect his actions have on her. if betty had confronted him that day or even the next, armando would have done everything in his power to lie, make her believe it IS a sick joke. anything to not lose her. he never would have admitted to his part in the plan. and betty knows this bc she’s seen him do this to marcela time and time again. 

so she plays armando’s (and mario’s) own game. her choices are limited. she sticks to this and the only way that she will stop is if (1) he stops following the instructions of the letter or (2) he realizes that she knows and confronts HER about it. she wants HIM to to admit to HER what he’s done. 

but he doesn’t. and when he finally knows why she’s acted this way, its too late. part of his arc is learning to admit to others and himself when he’s wrong. his ego, his stubbornness, his selfishness---it deters him from the things he realizes too late that he wants most (beatriz’s love and trust back). 

gaslighting arc is so important for both of them bc it’s them at their worst, its betty’s knowledge of him, it’s his knowledge of her bc he knows something’s wrong. he knows this isn’t her. but he doesn’t want to look too closely at her actions and the why of it. it’s so much easier to believe that he could be losing her to someone else than to admit that she now knows the ugliest part of him. 

#ysblf #betty la fea #beatriz pinzon #armando mendoza #i will always support betty's gaslighting arc even if she feels bad how she's feeling im there for her #this is partly a fic complaint bc there a few where he knows when she knows and he's like already depression era and that's not true #to his character #he needs to lose everything to get that highly desperate emotional place #anyway i love betty's gaslighting arc always down to talk about it

I've been wanting to do this comparative chart for quite some time. I swear someday I will write an Ashlander fic based on Ugly Betty 😭

[el-moscorrofio-y-el-mercachifle]

It's so sad to see the depth of Betty's low self-esteem. She really believes she deserves nothing good, and that any little mistake she makes means that anything good she has she should give it up in compensation or because she never deserved it. It is so obvious since the beginning. She's convinced that she must be perfect in her work and values because otherwise she's worthless. She tries to quit Ecomoda three times before even starting the whole Terramoda thing because of mistakes she made, like consjdering taking the bribing, or even things that weren't her fault, like the damaged computer. She thinks that any little favor people do for her are an inmense burden on them, like when Armando took her home after literally making her work extra hours to go to Rag Tela's cocktail.

It is no wonder that she really at first can't believe that Armando fell for her, that although we know why it all started, she doesn't and has no reason to ssupect it, because honestly, it is not surprising at all. The emocional connection they had since early episodes show that Armando was gonna fall for her eventually. But poor Betty could have never seen it, even when the Tarot itself was telling her it WAS going to happen...

I just wanna hug my girlie so bad and buy her some hair care products because you can't fool me I know curls forced to be straight and massacred with a brush when i see them
