Why am I doing this when I’ve already got a headache?
So, Clary and Simon are late to the poetry reading, and Clary’s already predicting disaster. I’m not saying she’s completely wrong, but she’s wrong about when and why it’s about to be a disaster.
And Simon’s going to order coffee for the pair, and Clary’s order is “Just coffee. Black–like my soul.” What the actual fuck? Way to fail at being edgy and just end up sounding beyond stupid.
Some random girl at the poetry reading asked Clary if Simon has a girlfriend, and when Clary said no, she asked if Simon was gay. Yeah, I’m probably gonna be saying “what the actual fuck” a lot in this series, aren’t I? All plagiarism scandals aside with this series (which is bad enough), I’ve lately been realizing how cringey Cassandra Clare books are in actual wording and trying to sound cool and original. If that makes sense.
Oh, shit. And Simon shows back up and starts asking about what just happened, and Clary’s about having one of those “how long has my best friend been almost hot” moments.
So, now they’re Actually Focusing on Eric’s Poetry now, and even Simon’s cringing at it. This is fun.
Oh, shit. Here it comes. Simon’s trying to confess his feelings about Clary, isn’t he. This is gonna be awkward, isn’t it?
*facepalm* Simon’s over here like “if he was gay, he’d dress better.” Um… for real? Is that an actual thing he said? What the fuck?
And of course Jace just so happens to be sitting behind Clary and Simon at this poetry reading because of course he is. And Simon can’t see him still. And of course Clary goes after Jace when he up and leaves.
Have I mentioned that Jace is a douche? Also, I don’t get what anyone sees in him, both in the books and in the fandom.
Ah, yes. Mundanes are Totally Not The Same as Muggles. Got it.
And of course there’s Something Weird about why Clary can see Shadowhunters even when they’re using their runes and shit to hide from mundanes.
“Oh, yeah, my tutor Hodge wants you to come to the Shadowhunter Institute because You Know Too Much. And I’ll kidnap you if I have to.” Because that’s not suspicious (and creepy) at all.
And this is what I meant by “this is totally going to be a disaster” (for the past chapter and a half at least). Clary’s mom just called and told her not to come home because it’s been broken into and she’s being attacked.
And now Jace wants to help as soon as something’s wrong and Clary wants to go home and see what the fuck is up.
