Guess I need to keep up better. I thought people were calling for a boycott of Mortal Instruments because Cassandra Clare is a thieving hack and 90 percent of the dialogue we've seen is just bad.

[(Anonymous)]

?

I've missed what this drama is about. Give us the goss please.

[(Anonymous)]

Cassandra Clare used to write Harry Potter fanfiction - The Draco Trilogy. It was later found that many plot points and pieces of dialogue - things she was praised for by reviewers - were taken from existing works of fiction (everything from Blackadder to obscure fantasy novels) without citations and sources. Plagiarism, basically. As far as I know, her original work doesn't have the same problem, but the fanfic debacle turned many against her. (I missed this myself; only found out about it years later on Fandom Wank.)

[(Anonymous)]

To add to what above anon said - She has also taken a lot of money from fans, some say on false pretenses. And she has tried several ways to silence any people that have brought up the plagiarism over the years.

There was some other drama with her involved but can't recall the details atm. Basically, she's not a nice person and people don't like it when not nice people are successful.

I walked into the cafe with a jaunty spring in my step. The pumpkin spice latte had arrived at last! It had taken many long, unbearable days for me to finally admit that summer was at an end, but now I had fully embraced fall, and I was looking forward to hot caffeinated autumnal goodness.

I began to make my way through the dining area to the counter, but something stopped me. A flash, a shadow, a hideous shape glimpsed only briefly. My skin tingled. Acid fear flushed through my veins. I stumbled backward, accidentally knocking a cane out of an old woman's hand. "Oh!" she exclaimed. She flailed and swayed before tumbling onto her side and then rolling over onto her back. She rocked back and forth, like a gigantic alabaster turtle.

"MY HIP! JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH, I'VE BROKEN MY HIP!"

I wanted to help her, but it was all I could do not to run screaming from the building. In the corner, there sat a repulsive figure, covered in grease and cotton entrails, face encased in a grotesque plastic cage. Its movements were jerky and unnatural. They seemed to blur, as if the creature's locomotion were out of sync with the rest of reality. I whimpered and its head shot up at the sound. Its eyes locked onto mine -- cold, dead eyes, black as night. I knew, in that instant, that I was done for.

Such was the night I met Cassandra Clare.

[(Anonymous)]

And I thought Mortal Instruments was just a rehash of one of her old Harry/Draco/Ginny fics too.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't really care about what CC did more then 10 years ago when she was writing fanfic, tbh.

And the dialogue wasn't any worse then many other bestsellers, in my opinoin.

[Picture is a photograph of the actor Shannon Kook above, and a photograph of the actor Godfrey Gao below. Kook has light skin, short black hair and is smiling while wearing a white undershirt, a blue shirt and a silver chain. Gao has light olive skin, shorter dark hair spiked up, a more triangular face, compared to Kook's more square face, and is smiling and wearing a white T-shirt and a black jacket over that. There is a gray and blue wristwatch on his left wrist. He appears to be leaning over a railing.]

It pisses me off that so many of Shannon Kook's fans are calling for a boycott of Mortal Instruments because he wasn't cast as Magnus Bane. Why are so many people angry that Godfrey Gao got cast as Magnus instead? I'm sure he'll do fine. Am I missing something here??

[(Anonymous)]

Not familiar with the series, but bottom guy is many, many times hotter than top guy so...

[(Anonymous)]

They're both very scenic. Though I do like latter guy's slightly goofy smile; it's very approachable.

[(Anonymous)]

Sorry, but any boycott of CCs work is something I'm going to support. Always and forever.

[queerwolf]

I didn't realize there was a thing with casting Magnus. I think Godfrey Gao is hot. The other guy not so much.

[sootyowl]

I had no idea this was a thing -- like normal.

In the spaces I've been, people are throwing their underwear at Godfrey and building shrines to his Godlike appearance and foreshadowing name.

[deadtree]

...ontd?

[(Anonymous)]

i've seen some godfrey/shannon wank on tumblr and twitter, but that's about it.

[(Anonymous)]

what the fuck kind of name is Magnus Bane?

[(Anonymous)]

He's a flamboyant nonhuman warlock. He likes to dress up in period costumes and once threw a party for his cat, Chairman Meow. His name is the most normal thing about him.

[darkmanifest]

Have any of these people actually seen Godfrey Gao? His casting is the one reason I'll watch the movie, so I can pick out all his scenes with Alec and make really embarrassing fanvids of them.

Other guy seems nice and all, but he looks like the boy next door. No amount of eyeshadow and silk turbans would have made him a passable Magnus Bane.

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like someone did some fancasting, a few others ran with it, and now they're butthurt about it.

[(Anonymous)]

That seems to be a thing now, like the butthurt over Jesse Williams not getting cast in Catching Fire. Maybe it's Tumblr? People post enough photos and tag them #character name and people start to believe it's true.

We'll never know if someone was even available for a role, so what's the point of getting mad about it?

[(Anonymous)]

Well, Godfrey Gao looks gorgeous, so I'ma get on finding pictures of him to stare at.

As for the movie itself, I'm of the same mind as the others in this thread: gonna skip it due to its associations with a fucknugget.

[(Anonymous)]

To be honest, I don't know CC just didn't push to have all the HP actors in it, since that's clearly who they are.

[(Anonymous)]

Uh…who? The only actor I know from HP that's in it is the guy who plays Jace/the main guy. Who else was from HP?

[gabzillaz]

Godfrey is too good for this tbh
