yk how like a week ago i found out that thomas gets accused of being the murderer. well i just read the scene. man looks guilty as fuck it must be said :( like he’s not, WE know he’s not. but well. the inquisitor doesn’t.

#speaking of being the inquisitor. i can’t believe the show made alec the inquisitor in a point of the plot that would be right after the #events of the final tmi book. i kinda hate that ngl. but i don’t wanna be mean about a show i literally LIKE. so.#but actually i would like to be mean a little. one second.#ok because clearly they did that because in the more recent books (canonically YEARS after the dark war) alec does become a really big #leader figure and eventually consul but that doesn’t happen until qoaad which came out after they would have written it into the show #and also because robert was the inquisitor in the books so i guess that had something to do with it #but it’s so STUPID and i HATE it because the whole POINT of alec is that he doesn’t like the way the shadowhunter government is run and when #he eventually became consul it was because they were literally having a revolution and the clave was split in two and alec is the consul of #one side while the other side (the traditionalists) are in idris #alec would NOT be the inquisitor and participate in the clave’s established government trying to ‘change it from the inside’ like a cop.#the only reason he’s the consul NOW is because he and his side of shadowhunters wanted a radical change.#the whole point is that the traditional shadowhunter government is agaisnt progress and still thinks shadowhunters are like a superior race #their old government is BAD. that’s why the protagonists of the stories never go to them for help #making him a part of that system is such bullshit to me and at best it shows that the show didn’t understand half the themes of the books #and at worst doesn’t understand alec as a character. which is annoying because they HAVE understood him. they HAVE proven that they know him #they know that alec is a leader but they don’t understand that he’s not a government leader. he’s a revolutionary leader.#also i don’t remember the last ten episodes of the show so i don’t know what i’m taking about blah blah whatever. but still.#this post was supposed to be about thomas. ok.#tlh lb
