the image of julian holding ty’s face in his hands with their hair whipping around them in the wind at the top of livvy’s pyre is just so tender and fragile and unbelievably devastating

hot take: it should’ve been Izzy/Jace & Clary/Simon! Spoilers thru The Dark Artifices…
am I the only 1 who read City of Bones & City of Ashes & thought that Clary would be better w/Simon, while Izzy should be w/Jace?
hear me out!
I should start by admitting that from the 2nd chapter of COB, I disliked Clary. Throughout the series, there are SO many times where her refusal to listen to her allies makes things harder. She yells at Jace a lot in the beginning, despite the fact that he kinda saved her life. But then, all of a sudden, we’re told that her take-no-shit attitude breaks through his façade of arrogance & she’s the 1st girl he’s ever truly loved—as if that’s not dramatic. & then in COHF they fuck (while in an equivalent to Hell), since y’know, all couples have to fuck at least once before they die. & don’t get me started on how they proposed to each other.
Basically, their whole relationship is just a lot of over-the-top shit. Felt like they were both the “saviors” of the Clave, so they were pushed together (mind you, the 1st series takes place in a matter of MONTHS). It’s supercharged puppy love.
ANYWAY…
I guess my main thing is, Clary & Simon knew each other for a long time. Yeah, she somehow didn’t notice his crush on her. But she didn’t have to date him just because she wanted to ignore her feelings for Jace. (Tbh it seems like she was using Simon in that way, but whatever.) I’m a fan of friends-to-lovers, because I think your endgame should also be 1 of your best friends. & weirdly, Clary finally seems to find Simon attractive once he grows out his hair & other girls (Izzy & Maia) show an interest in him. Also, there were numerous occasions where Simon felt intimidated by Izzy, even when she treated him as a part of their group.
I’m sure that the biggest issue people have w/the idea of Izzy/Jace is the fact that they were raised together. Yeah, well, Alec had loved Jace practically since they 1st met, but we focused on Alec’s struggle as a gay young person in a partly homophobic atmosphere (+ the unrequited nature of it all). That parabatai curse from The Dark Artifices wasn’t mentioned (or *cough* created) until that series.
Back to Izzy/Jace. She’s said to be the only 1 who can keep up w/him & unless the popular theory that she’s Valentine’s other child-slash-experiment proves true…that’s fucking awesome. Whips are extremely hard & dangerous to wield, especially when you’re running in heels. So she keeps up w/him in a fight. She also keeps up w/him verbally—Jace is known to be well-read & sassy, but she always has a witty retort prepared for him. & again, for those who focus on them being raised together…1) there were lots of unrelated Shadowhunters living under 1 roof & 2) Jace thought he was related to Clary, but aside from some guilt, they still got all hot & bothered about each other. Lastly, everyone seems to forget that Simon lowkey cheated on Izzy & Maia by secretly dating them both AT THE SAME TIME. Considering Izzy’s relationship w/her dad in TMI, you’d think that’d cross Simon off of her list. Jace, on the other hand, is ridiculously loyal. The only time he ever does anything to hurt his love interest is when he’d rather hurt their feelings than watch them die.
So yeah…

It was only to make Duncan jealous, Courtney reminded herself. Then why did Heather's soft lips feel so good pressed against hers?

blackstairs is such an amazing ship idc what anyone says (still mind-blowing that someone can dislike them fr wtf)
i'm a SUCKER for friends-to-lovers (more like parabatai-to-lovers in this case, but u know what i mean...) and i love that trope so badly and it fit them so well ahhhh
and the slow burn and mutual pining just made their relationship even more intense and interesting (not to mention the forbidden romance hello?!?)
every single scene of theirs is immaculate idfc

most of the main tsc guys are pretty stressed out but lady midnight julian is like, next level. he’s running an institute without anyone knowing, raising a bunch of kids including angsty teenagers and a 7 year old, hiding literally illegal feelings for his parabatai with everything to lose if he doesn’t (and also believing she’ll never return his feelings), while also supporting mark who’s recalibrating to the human world and trying to make sure the kitchen isn’t on fire at any moment and that all the kids are fed and doing okay and protecting them from potential danger all while not even being an adult. like this poor guy. most tsc guys are stretched pretty thin but julian’s holding on to like a single thread here. he needs a break😭
