The whole demon summoning being a test was genius
Also Simon and Izzy finally getting somewhere
Robert… oh my gosh. He’s probably gay as well but just too scared to explore it 😭

„Surely people would wonder“…
„Because what if he started wondering too“
THE INTERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA
THE CARING MORE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK ABOUT THEM THAN THEIR OWN FEELINGS
Omg I can’t wtf.
That’s why Robert was so damn angry at Alec, because deep down he knows how it could’ve been with Michael stfu.
This is the most perfectly written characters omg

Young Robert Lightwood povs ?? Him struggling to bear marks (probably because of Sophie?!)
Him feeling like not belonging, not even with his (future) wife ?
All this hate from him is actually lots of childhood trauma
These Characters are so diverse it’s insane I love it

James Herondale reading to escape reality hits very close to home lol

He lost everything my god 😭
I like George tho + Isabelle declaring him her boyfriend is huge
