#shadowcasters

So guys, MIND BLOWN. We all know I have a little dislike for Clary in the Shadowhunters show. I was just listening to a shadowhunters podcast (shadowcasters) and they were talking about how they like Clary and find her absolutely fascinating. At first I was questioning it. You know, why? And one of the members goes on to say that it's true. If you look at Clary on a surface level, she's really not that interesting of a character. However, if you look at her as this person who isn't a necessarily good person, she's far more interesting and enjoyable. If you look at her as someone who if you strip her personality down to its very core, is actually evil, she's far more fascinating. If you look at her as if she's not inherently good. She's self-centered, manipulative, she will always make the decision that benefits her the most and is perfectly willing to screw everyone else over. Without the values Jocelyn instilled in her and her friends serving as her moral compass, maybe she's a lot more like Valentine at her core. I need to re-watch the series with this approach. I could like her infinitely more. What a scary thought.
