Currently working on different drafts for a TLH social media AU/aesthetic/thingy and I’m torn between making it celebrity culture with twitter and tabloid headers or just a laid back college setting with insta posts
help
I’ll probably make a couple posts with insta profiles & stories, private messages, and in case of a celeb AU twitter threads and tabloid headlines.
In either case I can already tell you that it will feature Eugenia, there will be a band, and that Matthew and Alastair make a habit of taking jabs at each other on their public profiles.
Also feel free to send me ideas for what you think would fit for each character/ship in a modern setting.
the last batch of my chot memes… for now
Days Past: Paris, 1902
Thomas Lightwood and Alastair Carstairs
I honestly live for these two.
Hard agreement
a rant about ariadne bridgestock’s representation in cassandra clare’s chain of iron
If you haven’t read the book yet, do not proceed. This post may be subject to criticism, but these are just my views.
ISN’T SHE BEAUTIFUL I LOVE HER
Ariadne Bridgestock, or rather, Kamala Joshi, is one of the only Indian characters written about in TSC. We get to know that Kamala was adopted by the Inquisitor, Maurice Bridgestock, and his wife, when she was only seven as she’d been orphaned and the other family in the Mumbai(Bombay) Institute wouldn’t take her in due to bad blood between their families.
She had the potential to be a powerful Shadowhunter, with beauty as well as a kindhearted, gentle nature. Her adoptive parents loved her enough to nurture her talents and show her off, but they changed her name. They changed her name and refused to acknowledge her Indian heritage. In that case, they would never dream of accepting Kamala as a lesbian woman.
This was at a time when India was a colony of the British. Britishers had taken over the country from 1757, and had no love for the Indians. Indians were tortured and revolted for years, until finally India gained independence in 1947. Imagine being a young girl in British India, adopted by British shadowhunters with a powerful position in the Clave, but having your entire childhood wiped out just because of your nationality. Imagine being a closeted lesbian in the 19th-20th centuries, and adding the fear of being rejected by society to all the above. Kamala does not deserve a partner who does not understand why she cannot reveal her sexuality to her parents. Kamala does not deserve to have her childhood hidden, does not deserve to be afraid of society anymore.
Being a bisexual Indian myself, I have always admired her. If in Chain of Thorns, we do not see her speaking Hindi (for she must have learnt it in her childhood), wearing a saree or a salwar and telling her friends (I like to imagine her with Alastair, Eugenia and Grace in a friends group) about the things she remembers from India, I will take it personally. We see the Carstairs siblings embrace their Persian heritage proudly (even after Alastair suffered years of racism and bullying for it) and converse in Farsi – we MUST see Kamala embrace her Indian heritage as well. Cassandra must give Kamala the appreciation and respect which she deserves. Thank you for listening to my rant.
