My problem with Cassandra Clare isnt really even the plagiarism. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I have a big problem with that.

My biggest problem with Cassandra Clare is that she’s a shitty person and a fucking bully.

I think that part of it gets lost in translation as the years go by and we lose our access to the historical record of fandom.

But don’t let big name YA novelists try to sell this picture of the poor, much maligned fan-writer who made a few content errors in the past and plagiarized a little. Like first, no. The plagiarism was extensive and flagrant. It was never a misunderstanding or a small, passing error.

But more importantly, people who were around in the day, who remember, know that she was a fucking bully and a generally terrible fangirl and human being.

And like, Im gonna shame some of the YA authors on that list going around of people calling US–the ones with a long memory–the bullies. Some of them know better. I KNOW they know better. So to see them backing her is like, weirdass YA cronyism and that’s disappointing shit.

#don’t support cassandra clare #she’s making money on other people’s work#and she’s so fucking #i was only there for the tail end of this mess #i was so thankful i wasn’t in the hp fandom #cause she went fucking far #sicking fans of her works on people that criticized her and everything #like seriously #she’s a horrible person #i hope to see her work crash and burn #i mean #the adaption of city of bones was a failure #so i’m pretty happy about that #but i hope against hope #despite the lovely couple harry shum jr and matthew daddario make #that the series goes quietly away #let’s see if she can come up with something else halfway decent and not plagiarized #calling herself a novelist and shit #let’s see (via sensalito)

YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND

I’ve kind of always considered this as the moment when Dean first realizes what Cas is really willing to do for them. He knows Cas is willing to die, but in the life of a Winchester that’s an easy sacrifice. Now he has this picture that tells him Cas is also willing to stick around, and keep sticking around. 

And for a character who had a three season long abandonment arc (his brother, his father, people just gett’n up and leaving him all the time) that’s gotta be a big deal.
