I think in TMI we got a lot of quick basic facts and the overreaching lore of the world— just so we could understand what was happening— while in TID we actually get into depth about how shadowhunters work and the technicalities, rules, and structure of the world

i'm no author but I feel like the start of Clockwork Angel could have been plotted better? The storyline is good but the worldbuilding inserted in random part sof the story really gets me.

I feel like TMI introduced the Shadowhunter world a bit better compared to Clockwork Angel; with less info dumping, thought it's a problem in every fantasy series maybe?

#i agree though it is a bit clunky #i think it was because this was CCs first attempt at completely starting from scratch with a story #as a writer I am very sympathetic to her because it’s not fun #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #jem carstairs #will herondale #tessa gray #the infernal devices #tid #the mortal instruments #cassandra clare #i also think the stuff we get in tid were things she created later #like how important parabatai are or how the clave and enclave work #or the shadowhunter four cs #or how heads of institutes work #also I think tessa likes this kind of gritty information a lot while clary doesn’t care about it much

- star wars (original and prequel trilogies mostly)

- taylor swift

- all for the game

- a darker shade of magic

- captive prince/dark rise/fence/anything by cs pacat

- throne of glass/acotar/crescent city

- shadowhunters (mostly infernal devices and some dark artifices)

- the raven cycle

- if we were villains

- six of crows/shadow & bone

- bridgerton

- castlevania

- percy jackson

- marvel comics and mcu (mostly black widow, uncanny x-men, and dazzler)

- I’m also currently working my way through the west wing, the vampire diaries, and black sails, although I haven’t finished any of them

I also have a full list of fandoms on my blog! I’m pretty shy, but I rly want to find more ppl to talk to on here, so if you reach out I’ll be thrilled and probably won’t stop talking to you.

(also if we’re already mutuals and you wanna reach out please do!!)

for some reason it wouldn’t let me answer @ardenaster questions properly but lets go anyway.

2. Would you prefer to live in the country or the city?

Honestly, I like the idea of both. Yes, I would love to live in a studio apartment filled with books and huge windows with a bed and it’s tiny and cramped but it’s the middle of the city and it’s awesome but then I also want a house in the countryside with a forest surrounding it and a rooftop garden that we don’t keep intact so our house is covered in plants with just the windows and doors free from it and then books lining every single wall and it’s not big but it’s perfect and home.

9. What’s your favourite item of clothing?

My red and blue flannel. I wear it all the time!! I don’t have pictures rn because I don’t take many pictures but honestly idk why but it’s just constantly being worn and it’s comfy af.

10. Do you like your name? Would you ever change it?

This is what I changed my name too. I am very attached to the A in my name. My deadname began with an A too. Honestly, I love the name Alex more than anything else but that is technically my brother’s name even though he’s changing it to Mac when he’s older cs of complicated nickname things.

29. Do you like reading? What was the last thing you read?

Do I like reading? Honestly, if you asked anyone who knows me in irl this question they would laugh because the answer is so obvious but I don’t talk about books online as much. I adore books. I am a personal library for all my friends I have four bookshelves all full in my room alone. I only read on paper btw. Books saved me so many times. I have first edition Harry Potters (which are not written by a certain TERF) and Hermione was the first character I saw myself in since Roald Dahl’s Matilda. I love Matilda so much I have a painting of the Quentin Blake illustration on my wall and my copy is falling apart because of over reading. I am Matilda in my head, I just need a Miss Honey and some telekinesis. I can do some books recs (especially feminist, LGBT and sci-fi if ppl want).

Currently, I am reading The Lost Book of White which is by Cassandra Clare. It is part of the Malec series in the Shadowhunter Chronicles (i watched the tv series it’s shit and the books are better). There are 19 books in the chronicles with two more to be released. The books are in four main series with one side series and three collections of short stories to bring the universe together. I’ve been waiting for TLBoW for the last two years so it’s EVERYTHING to me.
