The valentine/izzy question was one of HORROR not interest. Ur shipping Izzy with magic hitler? Seriously?! Holy shit, Whats next, shipping her with Asmodeous or Azazel or Lilith? How about just Satan? Jonathan at least has a depressing backstory that gives him potential for redemption in a Kylo Ren sort of way, but VALENTINE? His DAD? What is happening with this fandom?! Yall would seriously rather her be w/ Valentine, the antagonist who's literally just "racist & evil", than Simon or Meliorn?
Listen.
Writing a ficlet where, in a complete AU, Valentine and Izzy have an unhealthy relationship, that is tagged as such and portrayed as such explicitly is not "would rather her be with Valentine rather than Simon or Meliorn".
You would know that, if you thought for 5 seconds, and maybe like, considered that people aren’t as horrible as you think? You could have clicked on the link you so obviously saw, looked at the tags, and gone “ah, yes, tagged as unhealthy”.
Writing fics with ships isn’t condoning, wanting that to happen in all universes in all circumstances and thinking it's perfect and pure and healthy. Far from it.
I’m not shipping them. I actually don’t want them together in canon settings, or care much about them as a ship. I just made one fic with that pairing, in a complete AU, explicitly unhealthy, because it was very interesting for me to write, worked with the Ficlet Instruments prompts, and worked with the song that was playing on my spotify then.
And I have written several Meliorn/Izzy fics that have FAR from the same tone as Lecture Hall, because well, people are interested in writing many different dynamics. A shock, I believe.
I would rather her be with Meliorn, Clary, Maia, Aline, Helen, or Sebastian like in the fics I wrote.
And you know what’s funny, anon?
You ask: “What’s next, Lilith?”
And on the very masterlist you obviously read and got offended by because of the Valentine/Izzy ficlet, there was an Izzy/Lilith. and that Izzy/Lilith is probably the hottest piece of smut I wrote this year.
So please. Don’t get all “high horse” on me, okay, bud?
The fandom is doing very well. And so am I.
