I find it interesting that you hate homophobic people (tbh everyone should) yet Cassandra Clare herself is the most homophobe person out there. It's sad that the TV show version of Malec is better than the books because CC has underwritten all the characters in her series expect Clary, Jace and Simon. I feel like she's queer baiting people and it makes me sick. I use to love her writing and now as I reread the series, I realize that Alec and Magnus don't have the proper LBGT representation.
[mod c] we’ve never said we like cc or think she’s a good person though. we absolutely agree w/you on how homophobic she is.
honestly the wildest thing for me is how in cofa, simon literally cheats on two people because he just can’t help it, and both of the girls are angry at him for maybe five seconds before going ah, well, these things happen! and at the same time, alec becomes jealousy incarnated because his 400-800yo boyfriend has dated other people before they got together, and won’t stop making biphobic, sex-shaming comments in the vein of “wow magnus I bet you’ve fucked literally every person ever!” that continue in cols.
even tho malec are together from the end of cob/beginning of coa, their happy moments are mostly behind the scenes (secret relationship in coa, vacation in cofa), and otherwise it’s suffering time! for no good reason what so ever! like, I have to read clary and jace dry-humping each other while crying about how they shouldn’t because they’re siblings, but magnus not being an 800yo virgin is too much for alec?
she could’ve written alec being distressed about magnus’ immortality in such a touching, beautiful way, but instead used it to make alec into a mean, biphobic ass who would violate magnus’ personal boundaries in a really horrible way (turning him mortal w/o his consent or knowledge), but oh sure, what stops him is that killing raphael w/o a good reason would be against the law. what the fuck honestly, alec judges magnus for stealing coffee so much that he bought magnus a coffee machine, but he’d be fine w/going behind magnus’ back w/his ex gf to turn him mortal???? fuck you cc.
[mod a] cc makes me so angry lmao she’s a fucking menace. she didn’t give a single flying fuck about malec in the books and only used them for money when she realised they were really popular. and what is she doing right now? she’s publicly shitting on the tv show and the showrunners every chance she gets, even tho she’s riding show!malec’s popularity by writing their first time and she had absolutely no problem using the show to promote her when it started airing.
oh boy. you know how the arranged marriage plotline was used in the show to change the “alec vs. both internal and external homophobia” book scenario into “alec’s individual needs vs. alec’s duty to his family”? cc is so hung up on alec’s suffering due to homophobia that she had the fucking gall to criticize the arranged marriage plotline on her twitter, even though said plotline was used to center alec’s crisis around his sense of duty and minimize homophobic suffering (which we have plenty of on every type of media already).
cc is a creepy homophobic plagiarist who wrote a several books long underage incest fantasy when she was in her thirties and gets off on sga people being miserable. fuck her.
dRAG. HER.
