In the past I briefly entertained the idea of CC being bi and private about it bc being married to someone of the opposite sex affords you the assumption of heterosexuality and she just didn't want the public scrutiny.80% of the cast of swordcatcher being bi is what mostly made me think about it, but now I'm 100% convinced she's a a straight girl with a shit ton of queer friends and is a staunch supporter of the community and her work reflects that in many ways

She has a total of two sapphic couples so far, and I think there are two main reasons for that

First and foremost bc we live in a patriarchal capitalistic hellscape and male gay couples sell considerably more than female amongst an audience composed mostly of girls and gay boys, so she would be urged by her agent to favour that kind of rep, its only natural.

But the second and perhaps most important reason is that she, as a straight woman, doesn't understand what it feels like to desire a woman sexually, a relationship that doesnt involve a man is foreign to her (lets also not forget she is a gen x, shes fantastically open mided for that age bracket) so its not that she doesnt want to include it, but she has a harder time writing about it than, say, two men desiring each other, which is common place for her as a person attracted to men.On that note, that's why we should hype the works of queer women

Modern society sees jealously as inherently toxic, but honestly, to me, it's a normal, healthy emotion, and what matters and defines whether or not a relationship is healthy is how a person deals with it, and James aces it with flying colours (and so does "young" tessa by the way)

It's actually comical cause Cordelia, who is fully aware of her feelings for him, isn't jealous herself.She knows a shit ton of girls swoon over James herondale and it is what it is, to the point of actually finding it funny when filomena says she wants to bite him.James on the other hand is like those fuckers are ogling my wife? I want to kick them on the kneecaps. Cordelia will have another husband, who will touch her and expect things from her? HATE THIS BITCH ALREADY AND HOPE HE DIES. Even Matthew's interactions with Cordelia made him unconfortable to the point of "oh yeah I'm going there" even before he knew matt had feelings for her.Like when they arrive together at curzon after seeing "wayland the smith", or when they are dancing together at James and Cordelia's engagement party. I'm actually 99% sure he cuts in in Choi and asks Cordelia to waltz with him after she dances with Matthew bc he was jealous

But he never makes it Cordelia's or anyone else's problem, so Cordelia (or anyone really) has absolutely no idea that he feels like this. I think from a narrative point this, along with horny JamesTM, was a great call on CCs part, bc Jordelia is the " fake couple" and she had to convince us of his feelings specifically.And anyway this is comedic gold and I've never seen anyone talk about it

Matthew: It’s rotten work.

Jem: I think they went outside—
