             “ You’re not very good with threats. ”          He set his new red and gold racquet against the ground, opening himself up and taking a stance as if to egg her in to making good on her veiled promises of harm.          “ I didn’t say thank you at first, but I doubt your or our captain would like me to repeat what I did say. I thought we were brought here to practice, not banter. ”           Grey eyes met her brown ones for only a moment before he looked away, hating his inability to maintain eye contact. He listened to Jeremy list their warm up drills, and gave Emma a wide birth before he broke in to an easy jog to start his laps.

❁ HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLARY FRAY (23 AUGUST 2020) ❁

“She wept for herself and the changes that had been wrought in her, because sometimes even change for the better felt like a little death.”

goldtinged-a​:

i’m thinking abt it bc I’m writing a reply but: emma realising she doesn’t want to throw her life away, actually. the way she threw her heart and soul into the shadowhunter life because it offered her redemption and revenge but it also blinded her to everything she had then. she had to learn that she didn’t need redemption because she was a child when what happened to her happened, and it wasn’t their fault or their job to fix it. and that revenge didn’t have anything to offer her because it wouldn’t bring her family back. and that the expectation any of the children were at blame for anything that happened to them was cruel and wrong. 

she always distanced herself from the blackthorn family just a little, always thinking they were julian’s family not truly hers until the siblings show she is their sister too. and her cutting herself off emotionally from julian when she needed him most (and he needed her), because she was so caught up in the blood relation politics/the law is hard but it is the law/revenge as a value underpinning shadowhunter relations.

I think a lot about her emulating herself after jace and clary as a hero/martyr in LM before switching her modelling, thinking of them (and also izzy and alec) as friends and modelling her relationships after theirs and their campaign for change.

shadowhunter society values coldness, but her arc and the role of her friends is to show everyone that coldness does not serve you well (something diana literally says to emma at one point, i think)

emma leaves the shadowhunter world to go travel the world with julian because she gave everything, quite literally everything, to that world and they didn’t love her back (as an institution) and because despite that she was literally the model shadowhunter, the system failed her and her family again and again until the very end

#obsessed with the fact qoaad has a happy ending but not really  #YES they needed to burn down the whole thing so its happy but  #they only realise this after it fails them all  #and livvy dies#its after midnight and im rambling AOIFJSSKSK  #THIS IS INCOHERENT BUT I KNOW WHAT I MEAN  #anyways idk if cc intended this but emma post qoaad  #she said FUCK shadowhunters aside from whatever alec is brewing up over there  #o wait how much do u think them associating more w the mundane world  #has an effect on their  #hmm maybe its a bit fucked up we're child soldiers

me on all my blogs: let’s talk about this characters flaws! me on emma: she’s baby and she’s never done anything wrong in her life

JEAN /  trjnhealed

             Jean knew the first few practices would be…an adjustment. As much as the Trojans were known for their sportsmanship, they were unlikely to just accept a former competitor in to their ranks. Unable to hide the shudder that ran up his body as she pointed the racquet at him, he settled for leveling her with a flat look.           “ Vous pensez peut-être que vous me menacez, mais il n'y a rien qu'une petite fille puisse faire qui ne m'ait déjà été faite. ”           Behind him, Jeremy cleared his throat and politely asked him to use a language they could all understand.           “ Thank you for the warm welcome. ”

emma  knew  she  was  supposed  to  be  friendly  .    she  could  see  jeremy  shooting  her  glare  over  jean’s  head,   all  his  exasperated  pleas  from  earlier  that  she  be  nice  gone  to  waste .   but  emma  didn’t  care.  she  didn’t  trust  the  ravens,  and  she’d  look  out  for  her  own  team  before  his  feelings .    

eyes  narrow,     ❝   that’s  a  lot  of  french  words  just  to  say  thank  you  ❞     she  wishes  she’d  payed  more  attention  when  julian  had  tried  to  teach  her  french.    ❝   I  know  a  translator,  moreau,  just  a  heads  up   ❞   not nearly  as  impressive  as  revealing  she  spoke  french  would  have  been,  but  it  would  have  to  do.

mundane emma is even worse then shadowhunter emma at languages because there’s even LESS reason to force herself to be good at them but u know a bitch will learn one out of spite

FEYRE / halfbeasts

“ maybe this isn’t about you. “ feyre’s voice is harsh; however open to the idea of peace she was, she wasn’t going to stand by the insult. the way she said the word fae, made rage burn in her chest . “ — it’s personal business . “ family. that’s the only thing that could drag feyre back to this world again.

a   blink .    the   the  harsh   reply  was  unexpected  .    emma  didn’t  think  she  had  even  said  anything  that  bad.   she  can  hear  julian  telling  her  to  drop  it,  but  he  not  a  good  control  over  her  when  he  wasn’t  there  .  ❝    by  the  angel   !     ❞       words  essentially  a  groan,  hands  thrown  into  the  air        ❝  look  .  I  honestly  don’t  care  what  you  gotta  do .  you  could  be  on  a  personal  trip  out  of  faerie  to  deliver  stuffed  mice  to  a  local  cat  colony  and  I  wouldn’t  care .      but  according  to  the  clave,    it’s  prohibited .   no  fae  in  the  mundane  world   without  permission       ❞
