oh to have a fraction of the swag the average background character in sleeping beauty does
We don’t appreciate the fact that Bruce Wayne is a Kardasian level celebrity enough. Everyone knows him. I want more one shots and crack fic moments where the League (Pre identity reveals) just openly talk about Bruce Wayne in front of Batman.
Just imagine them playing fuck, marry, kill with famous actors and such and throwing Bruce into the mix. And Batman just sits there, silently suffering as he listens to the reasons why Flash and Lantern would marry, fuck, or kill him. He prays they choose kill. They don’t.
an underrated detail in pride and prejudice is that elizabeth bennett was home alone on the day darcy proposed because she had a headache. can you imagine. this was in the pre-painkillers era. you're at home with a headache and then this asshole walks into the room and tells you he loves you and wants to marry you even though he hates your whole family and you're beneath him. imagine having to deal with that while also having a headache. she doesn't even have ibuprofen
I absolutely will die on this hill, access to fiction that makes your skin crawl and open discussion about it is the best way to keep that skin crawling fiction from happening in reality.
It doesn't matter if it is ~positively~ or negatively portrayed. If you censor it, we don't talk about it, then we can't protect against it.

My cat: Father is…evil? Father is unyielding? Father is incapable of love? I am running away. I am packing my little rucksack and going out to explore the world as a lone vagabond. I can no longer thrive in this household.

to say that Alec’s behavior in season one towards clary stems entirely from his complicated relationship with jace is just ignorant. like im not even trying to be rude, it’s just not canon at all.
Regardless of whether or not you feel clary, jace, and izzy were justified in their actions, you have to acknowledge that they broke the law.
They went on unsanctioned missions, they went to the city of bones, they disregarded orders.
Even if you agree with their motivations, you have to understand that they broke the law on their own accord. And in doing so, they undermined Alec’s leadership. Even if they didn’t mean to.
And then when confronted about it, they often used his sexuality as a reason to justify this. Again, whether or not it was intentional is a matter of opinion.
Clary runs away? “Admit you love jace” Alec questions jace’s judgment around clary to izzy? Izzy asks if he’s just jealous. Alec and jace are fighting? Jace accuses Alec of making decisions solely because of his feelings.
Keep in mind that Alec is not out yet. Alec is not comfortable with his sexuality. The clave is homophobic.
So yes, Alec was unfair and rude towards clary in season one and had more than a few problematic moments. But clary, jace, and izzy undermined his leadership which resulted in the clave questioning his capabilities and his almost arranged marriage, refused to listen to his logical concerns about their decisions, and used his sexuality for their own justifications.
To say his actions resulted solely from his feelings is to deny the facts, to promote the predatory gay stereotype, and diminish the complexities associated with his relationship towards clary and the developments he’s made throughout the following season.
