The Shadowhunter Rhyme that Ms. Cassie released just today. I just HAD to make this :)

I promise that if the world erupts in fire at the end of the year my last act will be to crawl toward my computer, open tumblr and type in J … or W … or M … or G … or N …

Movie stuffs

cassandraclare:

I just wanted to say that I am so glad that Marlene is meeting with the director and the producers at Constantin. I know lots of rumours have been floating around and I tend to be really quiet, but I want to make sure that when I tell you something, it’s true to the best of my knowledge. The movie industry runs on rumors and innuendo (this is why IMDB is basically useless till a movie goes into production and they lock down the page) and while things can always change, I want to be passing along info that’s as final as things in Hollywood get.

I have a little bit of news that’s exciting — and not even the news I was talking about yesterday! — I will be flying to Los Angeles from Mexico to meet with the new director. I can’t tell you who he is yet, but I’ve talked to him on the phone and he’s had a lot of great insight into the characters, really smart thoughts about the filming, and he had great thoughts about Jace, talking about how he wasn’t just an action hero, he was a layered, complex character with a lot of depth (oh and he has met with Lily and Jamie and he loves them.) 

I’m excited he and the producers have made a special point to meet with me, go over concept sketches, talk about the characters and their direction — that doesn’t happen all that often with authors in Hollywood, that we get included that much. However I don’t want to jinx anything, so I’m going to be vague until things are definite. I will keep you updated as much as I can — I know it’s hard to wait; believe me, it’s hard for me, too. I’m actually really glad that we moved on from Screen Gems because things have been proceeding at enormous speed since then and I hope to have some concrete stuff to tell you soon. In the meantime I promise photos of my crazy trip to LA. :)

It was one of the things that had made her fall in love with him in the first place: realizing that this scarred, sarcastic boy was gentle with the things he loved.

at the writing retreat

cassandraclare:

Sarah: Has Jem got any relations?

Me: Yes. His mother did and his father had a brother, but they’re all in China and it’s not safe for him there. Thus, England.

Sarah: How sad!

Me: Eventually his uncle moves to Idris and sends for him but by then Jem is settled and is all “can’t leave my parabatai, sorry.”

Sarah: I picture Uncle Horace coming to England trying to change Jem’s mind.

Me: Horace?

Sarah: Why not Horace?

Me: So poor Horace is scandalized that his dear nephew has selected a parabatai who is staggering drunkenly around the Institute and probably has syphilis.

Sarah: “Surely you could do better, my dear boy, this one’s mad as a brush.”

Me: But Jem is like, “No, crazier than a bundle of hedgehogs he may be but we will not be parted.” And Horace is saddened. “I hate it when they rush into these parabatai relationships,” he says.

Sarah: Perhaps he parades Gabriel Lightwood by. “Look, still time to change your mind James, here’s a fine one still unattached!”

Me: That would explain why Gabriel hates Will so much. Nothing to do with his sister at all. Just the brush-off.

Sarah: Lord, these bromances are fraught.
