Okay, here's something that's been bothering me since i first read CoHF. I just have to let this out, it's pure ranting, so you can ignore this if you want. As it says in my blog, i'm from Argentina, more specifically, Buenos Aires, so imagine my exitement when i saw my city being mentioned in my favourite series. The Buenos Aires Institute is mentioned when the Runner of the institute, Matthias Gonzales, breaks into the Accords Hall as an endarkened. And it's him i have a problem with. Well, not him per se, just his name. Why? Two reasons, one for his nane and one for his last name. Lets start with his name, Matthias. The correct way of spelling his name in spanish (language spoken in Argentina) is Matias. No extra "t", no "h". Maybe CC did it that way so that english speaking people could know how to pronounce it, but it's still wrong. Now lets go to what bothers me the most, his last name, Gonzales. Gonzales is a hispanic name, but guess wha? Is not a Shadowhunter name. We all know Shadowhunter names have to have a meaning, and a emblem to go with it. Gonzales doesn't and can't have any of them. So english speaking people can understand, a Hispanic shadowhunter named Gonzales is the equivalent of an American shadowhunter named Williams. Not a Shadowhunter last name. You know which ones can be Shadowhunter names? Rosales (like some of the TDA characters, al least CC got that one right) Alguilar Montenegro Villalba Espinoza There are many others that I can't think of right now, but you get the point. Anyway, that's what has been bothering me for a while. Especially Gonzales. IS NOT A SHADOWHUNTER NAME!!! Sorry for the rant, but i needed to get it out of my sistem.
