CASSANDRA YOU LITTLE BITCH

Hello!

So you saw my title, yes? I'll get into why.

Many of The Mortal Instrument's fans have heard that Cassandra Clare wrote Shadowhunter's Academy and it's the story of Simon and the leading up to ascension. It was so much more than that. We get some Emma and Julian, some Tessa and Will, some James Herondale, MALEC OMG OMG OMG Okay I'm getting spoilery just go read them and I highly highly recommend the audio books, they are so great.

SPOIIILLLLLSSSSS

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO END THIS WHY CASSIE? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? IT'S JUST MEAN. JUST MEEEAAANNNN. I hate you. I don't, but I do. George was BAE why would you kill him? He was cute and funny and smart and I just don't understand. I really don't. It makes me want to cry a lot. A lot a lot. George was so cute. I loved his accent and his demeanor. I honestly don't understand why he wasn't strong enough. And now because of all this, Simon is broken. You fucking broke Simon. I can't even.

harry and kat aaahhhh from shadowhunterstv

MALEC MALEC MALEC MALEC. I'm so fucking excited to see more of Malec in Lady Midnight because I swear if we don't, I'm going to jump off a bridge. I swear. THEY NAMED HIM MAX. I WANT TO CRY. AND HE'S BLUE AND ADORABLE. And the ENTIRE scene where the Lightwoods originally come to the academy to baby proof and talk about names made me the happiest person. When Magnus first walked in though, and he saw Clary, and I don't remember the exact line but he said something about him always enjoying her presence. Then she bounced over to him and they relationship is the absolute best because i don't even know but I just imagine him holding her as she's sobbing g because of a fight with Jace because she wouldn't go to Simon because he'd beat Jace to smithereens but Magnus would just sit there and hold her and god I just can't explain it because it's so cute. "Magnus was always pleased to see Clary. 'Hello, Biscuit,' he said. Clary sidled over to the doorway and grinned up at him, a thousand gallons of troubled in a pint sized body. "Hi.'" ITS SO CUTE. SO CUTE.

PARABATAI YUS. I'm so pumped because now I know more about how the parabatai ceremony and things work, and holy shIT. Now, I just look at people who are good friends and decide if they're close enough to be parabatai or not and it's so beautiful. I can't even begin to understand why we didn't get this in the books orginially because it's so beautiful and wonderful and Simon and Clary and uuughghh. It's so beautiful and Simon and Clary are gonna be parabatai and Simon all broken so still FUCK YOU CASSANDRA.

Catarina is fucking fabulous. She's so badass and she's everything I imagined her to be from The Bane Chronicles and more. Her little relationship with Simone throughout the story was beautiful. Right after George, it was her to grab Simon's shoulder. Her. OHMYGOD SO CUTE. I can't even handle it.

This book is an amazing example of why I read. It. Makes. Me. So. Happy. SO. HAPPY.

It Has Finally Arrived. It's Time.

Hello!

IT'S HERE. SHADOWHUNTERS DAY HAS COME AND GONE AND THE SHOW WAS OHMYGOD. Okay, for the non-spoiler section the acting and the special effects were pretty bad. BUT the potential for where this show is going and how it's going and following the plot of the book and ohmygod. I'm very impressed. I figured it'd just be anything but the book but damn, they were close. Ok now I gotta talk spoilers

SPOILERS

Okay so the start of her walking into the art school was actually kind of awesome to see right away that she's like an art person but we also knew by her portfolio they were going to let her in because of that. It was pretty obvious. Then her with Simon was a fabulous BrOTP moment that I don't think I could've lived without. Then she goes home and sees her mom and her mom gives her the "family heirloom" which I actually liked because now she has the family's instead of one she gets randomly. Then the demon attack and Dot (the actual fuck was this bitch and why was she good???) being possessed by the ravener demon and those action sequences were pretty great. Ok, but before the demon attack and Clary was there?!? Uh nope. And the special effects of that portal. Uh hell no.
And Clary's scared acting. Laughably no. But Dominic and Alberto and Harry were pretty fucking awesome. And I loved Pandemonium, and the Institute was all tech-y which I thought is actually cooler because their technology was just not logical in the book. We also got no explanation of anything so people watching this show and not having read the book are just lost. Straight up, these people must be so confused because they didn't explain shit. I understand the need for the "All the legends are true" line but still. We need some more. And I would like some more Magnus. Now. I love Harry Shum and I love Magnus so overall, thoroughly excited for more of him.

i mean come on, a cover like this is bound to have some issues. from fan-place

I actually loved Simon in this, like a lot. He was really funny and how he was around Clary was great. I know that'll all get ruined once the whole "love triangle that lasts for 20 pages" happens. But still. Then Sizzy. AND MALEC THERE'S ALREADY AN EPISODE CALLED MALEC SO PUMPED. I loved Jocelyn and Luke was great and way to attractive for me to handle. The men in this show, man. So attractive. All of them. And you know you're only going to get more attracted to them as the show goes on. It's going to turn into Benedict Cumberbatch. He's really unattractive but apparently after you watch Sherlock you're magically attracted. Whatever. I still haven't watched it. Sorry not sorry.

I'd rate this finally an 85%. The soundtrack, the ideas put in place, and the cliffhanger really made it fabulous. What dropped it was the horrible special effects for the magic and the acting (specifically Katherine, I LOVE YOU THOUGH, I JUST KNOW YOU CAN DO BETTER) because they were disappointing.

Also there was a new Pretty Little Liars. It was okay. Not great. Kind of over this show. Should've ended it last season to be honest. It's just the same thing every season. Whatever. It's fine. I'll probably keep watching it because I'm trash.

So, not really reading anything. Sorry. It's finals week and I'm busy all the time. Reading slumps if you'll refer to my post "I Hate Myself" you can find more.
