I’m see so many hate post on fairstairs stand here on tumblr recently. I don’t get why tho

Tumblr is a place for escaping from this world from all the horrible news and people. I get that people want to express themselves here but you don’t have to be so hateful. Sure, you can have your own opinions, but I come here after a long day of hard work and all I want to do is just scroll through tumblr peacefully. You are entitled to your own opinions. Just chill out for a bit.

Am I the only one who didn’t hate the ending of COI and was smiling at the thought of Matthew and Cordelia in Paris?!?

I get it. Fairstairs will not workout. But like does Cordelia really have to mention that Matthew has nice arms. Or what about the times that she calls Matthew’s hair angelic. Or when their doing NORMAL things and Daisy notices how Matthew’s arm brushed hers. I’m just saying.

My curse is that I find every excuse I can to ship fairstairs, a ship that is bound to not even set sail. I still ship it. Sorry not sorry!

I saw this from @belle-keys and I had to do one too.

I have come to the conclusion that Don’t Blame Me by Taylor is jordelia. I don’t know...

This is the stupidest thing I will ever post.

I thought of this at like 3am…

So, I obviously don’t ship Grace with James. Both of them deserve more. But like what’s there ship name… I was thinking, what about Jace. 💀This probably won’t happen. I just. I don’t know. I needed to get this off my chest.

Does anyone else hope that Cordelia and Grace can become like friends like Hope Mikaelson and Lizzie Saltzman and they can like become a trio with Lucie, Grace and Cordelia. Cuz they low key remind of me Hope, Lizzie and Josie from Legacies. Nope just me okay then...

Hard agreement

a rant about ariadne bridgestock’s representation in cassandra clare’s chain of iron

If you haven’t read the book yet, do not proceed. This post may be subject to criticism, but these are just my views.

ISN’T SHE BEAUTIFUL I LOVE HER 

Ariadne Bridgestock, or rather, Kamala Joshi, is one of the only Indian characters written about in TSC. We get to know that Kamala was adopted by the Inquisitor, Maurice Bridgestock, and his wife, when she was only seven as she’d been orphaned and the other family in the Mumbai(Bombay) Institute wouldn’t take her in due to bad blood between their families. 

She had the potential to be a powerful Shadowhunter, with beauty as well as a kindhearted, gentle nature. Her adoptive parents loved her enough to nurture her talents and show her off, but they changed her name. They changed her name and refused to acknowledge her Indian heritage. In that case, they would never dream of accepting Kamala as a lesbian woman.

This was at a time when India was a colony of the British. Britishers had taken over the country from 1757, and had no love for the Indians. Indians were tortured and revolted for years, until finally India gained independence in 1947. Imagine being a young girl in British India, adopted by British shadowhunters with a powerful position in the Clave, but having your entire childhood wiped out just because of your nationality. Imagine being a closeted lesbian in the 19th-20th centuries, and adding the fear of being rejected by society to all the above. Kamala does not deserve a partner who does not understand why she cannot reveal her sexuality to her parents. Kamala does not deserve to have her childhood hidden, does not deserve to be afraid of society anymore. 

Being a bisexual Indian myself, I have always admired her. If in Chain of Thorns, we do not see her speaking Hindi (for she must have learnt it in her childhood), wearing a saree or a salwar and telling her friends (I like to imagine her with Alastair, Eugenia and Grace in a friends group) about the things she remembers from India, I will take it personally. We see the Carstairs siblings embrace their Persian heritage proudly (even after Alastair suffered years of racism and bullying for it) and converse in Farsi – we MUST see Kamala embrace her Indian heritage as well. Cassandra must give Kamala the appreciation and respect which she deserves. Thank you for listening to my rant.

Sounds good.

Rereading The Last Hours (chronologically) before Chain of Thorns comes out

Hi!

I’m witchlightdreams and I’m planning to reread the entirety of The Last hours including online extras and side stories in other companion books of the Shadowhunter and I made a plan so everyone can join me. 💜

The Shadowhunter wiki has a very concise timeline of the stories, but it doesn’t include the online Extras and snippets that aren’t canon. So I put together a longer list that has all extras (excluding a few super short snippets) together. This is probably not for people who read TLH for the first time though, since a few of the short stories and extras contain spoilers.

I already asked people if they would be interested in a book club to reread TLH and I got much positive feedback. I thought long about how to achieve a communal book club so I had the idea of just making a hashtag that hasn’t been used yet to share our thoughts on the current chapter, post art, etc. What do you guys think of #TLH reread challenge?

I’ve made a plan in which order I will read the The Last hours again before the big finale and everyday I will post something about the reading section of the day, life-blog about my thoughts while reading, post art and reblog other stuff from the hashtag, so if you want to keep up-to-date and join the book club, you can either follow this blog or the hashtag or just DM me if you want to join the book club but don’t want to post yourself. I would be very interested to read this communally, so if you want to read at the same time as me, please use the tag or tell me directly. Of course you can also join later or skip the extras at the beginning entirely.

Of course no one has to follow my recommended plan, you should always read in your own time and find joy in reading. I just made this for myself and everyone who wants to read parallel with me. I’m trying to keep every daily section under 50 pages and always between 25-45 pages, but in the beginning it might not be possible, especially with the extra stories, since they don’t have page numbers and because short stories are usually longer than chapters.

If you want resources where to find the extra stories, I made a second post for that and tagged it with our book club tag.

In case you don’t own the companion books or don’t want to read the short stories because they’re too long, that’s not a problem! The Shadowhunter wiki has a good summary of those so you don’t have knowledge gaps!

Happy reading!
