This Is Why Simon And Clary’s Friendship Is So Elite

Maybe I’m just in a Sebastian mood (yuck) but what I find really interesting is that in the Clay’s edom dream when we see good Sebastian… he literally just acts like Simon.

I feel like this is a way to reference the fact Simon is the closest thing Clary will ever actually have to a brother (the only real reference she has to a healthy brother). He makes jokes like Simon, makes fun of Jace, says sarcastic jokes and likes Izzy!

I also think it’s interesting that the that snapped Clary out of Edom is the fact Simon didn’t exist!

There relationship is soo underrated but it means soooo much to me!

Am experiencing withdrawal symptoms.

I’m in a sizzy drought i need content 😩

COME HOME SIZZYYYYYY 😭😭😭😭 I miss them so bad. Also like…. I need better in black to come out by TOMORDOW

More excited for this than anything tbh

heyyyy so happy for twp news finally after having religiously followed the shadowverse since i first read mortal instruments as a 13 year old I AM PSYCHED to see how it all ties up together

my question is how much of the mortal instruments gang will i get to see in twp?!! (pls keep the 6 alive and happy plsplspls thank you bye)

Well, you know I never promise anything about aliveness and happiness, but you will see them all. One of the first things that happens in Last King is that Dru and Thais travel to New York to see Simon's band at Pandemonium (and everyone is there — Jace, Clary, Simon, Isabelle, Magnus, Alec...)

Exactly! Creativity channels itself in so many different ways. If a character really speaks to you, if a story brings you excitement, then why shouldn't it be considered art when you express yourself through them? Why is this specific thing looked down apon, but when someone uses a model for their art it's not looked on the same way? It's likely because these characters and stories are already a creative channel of someone else. But no ideas have ever been born from nothing. Everything that exists is an adaptation of something existing. Did you know that every story follows the one of 36 plots? No story has ever been written outside of these plots. So why is every fiction writer held to such a high standard, when they're simply rewriting something that has been written thousands of times before? Fiction writing is no different from fanfiction writing. Fanfiction art is no different from art. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Do you ever think you'll stop drawing fanart? No offense it just seems like the kind of thing you're supposed to grow out of. I'm just curious what your plans/goals are since it isn't exactly an art form that people take seriously.

Ah, fanart. Also known as the art that girls make.

Sad, immature girls no one takes seriously. Girls who are taught that it’s shameful to be excited or passionate about anything, that it’s pathetic to gush about what attracts them, that it’s wrong to be a geek, that they should feel embarrassed about having a crush, that they’re not allowed to gaze or stare or wish or desire. Girls who need to grow out of it.

That’s the art you mean, right?

Because in my experience, when grown men make it, nobody calls it fanart. They just call it art. And everyone takes it very seriously.

I need to see simon, jace and kit meet. My life is not complete until I get a scene with those three.

Okay but why is no one talking about the fact that Kit is basically what would happen if Jace and Simon had a baby.

Blonde and beautiful

With arrogance problem

But also nerdy af

Makes pop culture references no one else gets

Is annoyed by the stunning beauty of shadowhunters

Loathes exercising

Okay he’s maybe even a little more Simon than Jace

simon lewis is his own pov is so funny because I was rereading the scene of him summoning Raziel and the way he's like "oh I don't know how introduce myself because I'm just Some Guy who has no titles or great deeds to his name :/" DUDE YOU KILLED LILITH?????????

Shout out too @heronsthornx on TikTok because this is the most accurate representation I’ve seen of there friendship.

Proof:

I could not read another fantasy/YA after finishing TFTSA, the Cassandra Clare to realism/adult fiction pipeline snatched me up and spat me out.

at the end of the day no other series has given me the same high as the mortal instruments

Reading about Wessa in TLH and reading about Clace, Malec or Sizzy in TDA is such a bittersweet experience because once again you realize that their story is over and closed and that you will never experience a new story where they are the main leads. You just realize how much you miss them. And I just know that I will have the same realization in TWP with Blackstairs.
