I'm Reading Today I Swear 😭

bi weekly reminder that all of cassie's main characters are teenagers so maybe give them some grace for their shitty choices and don't expect adult level shit from people who's brains aren't even fully developed

this will never not be funny

Jace kisses Alec (cut from City of Glass)

So below is, the original version of the scene that begins on page 137 in City of Glass, “Jace looked at Alec steadily. “What’s between you and Magnus Bane? In the original version, Jace actually does kiss Alec, more to make a point than anything else, but the resultant scene made me laugh and made my editor laugh, hysterically. It didn’t work — made the emotional impact of Jace telling off Alec less. I warn you, it is not romantic.  - Cassie

Jace looked at Alec steadily. Then he said, “What’s between you and Magnus Bane?” Alec’s head jerked to the side, as if Jace had slapped him or pushed him. “I don’t — there’s nothing —” “I know better,” Jace said, forestalling him. “I’m not stupid. Tell me the truth.” “There isn’t anything between us,” Alec said — and then, catching the look on Jace’s face, added with great reluctance, “any more. There’s nothing between us any more. Okay?” “And why is that? Magnus really liked you.” “Drop it, Jace,” Alec said in a warning tone. Jace was having none of being warned. “Magnus says it’s because you’re hung up on me. Is that true?” There was a moment of utter silence. Then Alec gave a despairing howl of horror and put his hands up to cover his face. “I am going to kill Magnus. Kill him dead.” “Don’t. He cares about you. He really does. I believe that,” Jace said, managing to sound only a little bit awkward. “Look. I don’t want to push you into anything, but do you maybe want to —” “Call Magnus? Look, that’s a dead end, I know you’re trying to be helpful, but —” “—kiss me?” Jace finished. Alec looked as if he were about to fall off his chair. “WHAT? What? What?” “Once what would do.” Jace did his best to look as if this were the sort of suggestion one made all the time. “I think it might help.” Alec looked at him with something like horror. “You don’t mean that.” “Why wouldn’t I mean it?” “Because you’re the straightest person I know. Possibly the straightest person in the universe.” “Exactly,” Jace said, and leaned forward, and kissed Alec on the mouth. The kiss lasted approximately four seconds before Alec pulled forcefully away, throwing his hands up as if to ward Jace off from coming at him again. He looked as if he were about to throw up. “By the Angel,” he said. “Don’t ever do that again.” “Oh yeah?” Jace grinned, and almost meant it. “That bad?” “Like kissing my brother,” said Alec, with a look of horror in his eyes. “I thought you might feel that way.” Jace crossed his arms over his chest. “Also, I’m hoping we can just gloss over all the irony in what you just said.” “We can gloss over whatever you want to,” Alec said fervently. “Just don’t kiss me again.” “I’m not going to. I have other business to take care of.” Jace stood up, kicking his chair back. “If anyone asks where I am, tell them I went for a walk.” “Where are you actually going?” Alec asked, watching him walk to the door. “To see Clary?” “No.” Jace shook his head. “I’m going to the Gard. I’m going to break Simon out of jail.”

I WAS FUCKING RIGHT

my money is firmly on christopher dying in this book (DO NOT SPOIL ME) but i'm so very scared for matthew.

he's just spiraling and spiraling and i'm so scared he'll have a bad ending.

charles: breathes

me: die.

i'm relatively new to the anime space. my good friend got me into it when we met and is slowly introducing me to more and more series, but i have to say attack on titan is by far the best.

i could go on for hours about the writing and all of the ways it's so masterful in it's storytelling, but i actually started writing this intending to talk about eren so...

i haven't really engaged in the fandom much on account of avoiding it until the dub for the final episode came out, but i've been able to gather that eren is pretty polarizing as a character. and i have to say: i fucking adore him.

he's so devastating as a character that i just can't hate him. thinking about the way he embodies the central theme of the story so well makes me absolutely feral.

i know there's some people who just can't see past the rumbling, and i honestly understand that. but i just can't not see him as a traumatized child radicalized by the world he grew up in who got his hands on power. i think he said it best in the finale when he said he was just some idiot who got his hands on some power.

i didn't really have a point with this... i just fucking love eren jaeger so much.

YO WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH CHARLES AND ALASTAIR???
