here's the plot (pt.3) of Mortal Instruments so you don't have to read it (cassandra clare)
Everyone's behaviour makes so much more sense when you consider the brain damage from being knocked unconscious all the ding dang time
SO TRUE 🤣
*and* theyre like 16
It’s not about the story or the characters it’s about the editing and your storytelling, at this point please consider doing a podcast
I would eat that up yesssss
Right!!! Cari is so funny, she makes all of these books more entertaining
Yes!!
every episode is just about recalling a book or movie from memory - 10/10 would listen
Gotta agree, I could care less for the plot of these books, ACOTAR included, but the editing and humor of the retelling is top notch. That little mini skit in the beginning made me laugh out loud.
Jace giving "would you still love me if i was a worm" vibes xD
OMG😂
so real :D
Well he's an adopted lightworm so...
So true!! 🤣
I genuinely laughed so hard my coffee came outta my nose cuz that is so accurate omg
Simon wondering which girlfriend had gotten kidnapped was the BEST😂
Especially when the villains don’t even try to use deductive reasoning of what people could be his actual girlfriend.
Your girlfriend, camile?
Love that part 🤣🤣
I'm usually not someone who likes plots involving cheating on others, but this was a heck of a good punchline for it.
The "camp rock!" every time Isabelle enters a scene has made me laugh every time lolll
Yesss. And the jace montage
I'm quite fond of the "uh oh" recurring clip for Sebastian myself, but they're all amusing.
The Mortal Instruments drinking game. Take a shot every time someone blacks out.
Honestly an excellent way to have the Mortal Instruments experience and black out yourself
Take a shot when Jace gets emotional 🤣
if i do that, i’ll black out 😭
The little Jace thirst trap montage gets me every time I LOVE it 🤣🤍
girl, same
Same!
same it's so funny😂
You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream 🤣🤚
I always sing along 😆
I just love how crazy YA sounds when you just explain the plot.
I was thinking the same thing 😂 I forgot how batshit these books really were. And how horrible and impulsive a heroine Clary was.
@@mcedwardsseriously, like “ha, I’ve trapped you in a logic puzzle, Lilith, now there’s nothing you can do to-“
“I’m still here, by the way.”
“Jesus fucking Christ, Clary.”
Jace literally asking Clary if she would still love him if he was a worm.
He was being possessed by the ghost of Benedict Lightwood.
THE RETURN OF THE JACE MONTAGE
And addition of Isabelle camp rock
I texted my husband at work and let him know I will need maybe 3 hours to myself when he gets home ... No interruptions☝️First he was confused then I said new Cari video and he said say no more 😂😂😂
LMFAO
Good to know this is what we all do! 😂
Told my husband the same thing and he put on his headphones and turned on wrestling. lol no question asked.
My husband saying “oh the red haired lady has a new video?” Knowing I’ll be hogging the TV for several hours 😂
That is so lovely❤
the fact that there are two incest plotlines in this series is wildddd
omg a fellow Solitaire fan!!
@@allthebrighttplaces omg hi!
I got to talk to Jamie Campbell Bower at Indiana Comic Con this past weekend, and it took everything in my power not to bring up the Jace montages from these specific videos
omg you were blessed
I wanted to go so badly to meet him 😭😂 I hope you had a great time!
You should have! 😁
I shipped Magnus and Alec so much when I was reading this series but Magnus was *so* right for dumping Alec in that instance, what a completely shadey thing to even consider doing
Do we think he was kind of influenced by this whole Jace-being-brainwashed situation? Because the parabatai bond does influence them A LOT and even Alec said that he felt that sth was wrong with Jace. So maybe he wasn't exactly thinking straight (lol), and some of his poor decisions and doubts stemmed from the demonic influence of Seb?? I'm just theorising because I never really finished book 6, so idk how they resolve their issues, but that sort of 'oh let's take Magnus' immortality without his knowledge' just doesn't suit Alec imo, he's been insecure, yes, but he is also very loyal and a rule-stickler, plus he hates Camille's guts so maybe...
i also remember reading the bane chronicles(?) and magnus mentions an ex girlfriend, and alec gets SO biphobic?? he's so outraged that magnus also likes women for some reason, even middle school me thought that was shitty of him 😭
@@Baneberryy The only argument of that kind I can think of is in the COFA. It's this whole issue with Camille and then Alec accusing Magnus of sleeping around and seeing him as a toy and just a blip. Maybe we are talking about different situations, but I'd need to reread the books or get a chapter title because I don't remember anything else.
But if we are talking about the same thing, then your feelings and opinions are valid, but I don't see it the same way. I don't think he was actually biphobic back then. Was he rude and said some uncalled-for and hurtful things? Sure. I don't think he was in the right to accuse Magnus of the things he did. That's shitty of him. But at the same time from all the descriptions and his words, I can understand why he acted that way. First of all, he is only 17, Magnus is his first partner, and he is insecure. But also I always understood that Magnus never really told him about his exes, he didn't tell him about Camille, and suddenly they have to cut their holiday short because Magnus has to talk to this woman, who apparently was his ex. Alec is hurt because he feels like Magnus doesn't really care about him enough to tell him the important things. And then there's Camille who's nasty and just adds fuel to the fire. So he lashes out. Do I think he is right to do that? Absolutely not. But understandable. And I don't think he was biphobic because it wasn't only about Camille, she was only a catalyst.
If you had another scene in mind, then I'd love to hear about it because I might reconsider my stance, but if that's what you were referring to then we have different opinions, and both are valid.
@Aquariuspeg ohh yeah you remember this way better than i do, chances are i misremembered it
That being said, I absolutely hate the trope where a character is cut off when they try to explain themselves. Like, I don't care how hurt you are, you owe the other person a chance to speak.
I had to pause the video because I choked at “he must be Catholic”
CATHOLICS, FAMOUSLY… ASSOCIATED WITH WOLVES????
i mean, to be fair, st. roch is the patron saint of dogs, so like -
The weird catholic werewolves that said that in their dreams they turn into wolves and fight evil?! That seem to have really existed.
as someone who read all of the Infernal Devices and up through City of Glass a decade ago when I was 14, you make Mortal Instruments sound like _so much_ fun and I contemplate rereading it-and then you read a quote from it and I’m like “ah right nvm, most of the humor and fun is Cari’s storytelling”
Yeah same for real, in the beginning I was thinking "wait, this one sounds actually fun and not as painful as the other ones!" And it's probably all due to cari 😂
I‘ve reread them because of the videos (I’ve read them when I was 13, now I’m 26) and homesite was a lot of fun, they weren’t masterpieces but I still loved it and had moments where I laughed out loud! It made me soo nostalgic too.
@@xLiLlyx98 I will say as someone who read all of the first trilogy and about 2/3rds of Fallen Angels I do think that it’s actually a little better because it does focus on the stronger parts and have more fun urban fantasy shenanigans/interpersonal stuff. I think it also just proves my thought that basically every character that isn’t Clary (and Jace a little but he has his moments) is way more interesting. I have my bias towards Simon but that also extends to Isabelle and Alec and Magnus and pretty much everyone else.
Told my boyfriend I was watching a 3 hour video about books. He asked: isn't it better to read the book?!
To which I replied: But I have read it... I just need Cari to tell me what happens through her eyes 😂😂😂😂
Brother Zachariah with Snoop Dogg's The Next Episode plus the zoom in on the friar got me every. single. time. 😂 Even once I knew it was coming.
i think i missed one and didnt put it in but as i was editing i could hear it regardless hahaha
@@caricanreadthat was the one i was anticipating and confused when it didnt come😂
lol I noticed that one too because it was my favorite new character bit in this series but clearly it wasn’t a mistake, Cari was just building anticip
“I’m not a real fan of babies anyway” really got me for some reason 😂
the consistent Isabelle camp rock entrance clip is SENDING MEEE
The Brother Zachariah moments absolutely KILLING me 💀
Oh hell yeah. Can’t wait to listen to this while I build ikea furniture later.
Love that for you 😂
I wish i was building ikea furniture
LOL SAME
lol the fact that i saved this for the same reason
@@jo0odoo same lol
Not Jace going: "FYI I love you more than the world."
_immediately leaves and CLOSES THE DOOR behind him, presumably before Clary is able to answer._
😂
1:17:56 "clary passed out💁♀️, for reasons🙇♀️, idk🤷♀️" loved this one
Coming from a world where blood is such a powerful magical substance, Jace sure is real cavalier with spilling his own in dreams where he knows he is plagued by demons
keep that blood inside you or so help me--
first thing this story tells us is that Simon is having a Shmidt (new girl) moment and so I'd like to imagine that Clary was having a Nick moment, frantically saying "you get one wife this is the way the world works!"
Yeah, I thought that clip was going to pop up in this vidoe. 😂
i love you sm for bringing this up😭😭😭
Kinda obsessed with how fruity simon and jace are tbh making the two dudes of a love triangle into eachother is lowkey a lost art
this has absolutely ruined me bc every time i watch or read anything that has a particularly YA-feeling romantic/angsty line, i SEE the teenage dream fancam in my mind's eye
I love that a bunch of characters have Cari-assigned leitmotifs now
I remember the first plot summaries I watched of you covering acotar i was so concerned because i thought you were standing the whole time 😭 “oh my gosh i hope she’s taking breaks and not pushing herself too hard” until i finally saw the picture wall on the side of the bed and thought “oh yeah that definitely makes more sense” 😂🤦🏻♀️
Her ACOTAR videos were the first ones I watched too! Love that!💕💖
Same!! Came for them and stayed ever since 😂
hearing an angel with a shot gun play just sent me through time
did not expect to hear the cab! 😅
The Jace thirst edit is the real star of these videos
You did my boy Jem so dirty with that monk image 😂
Also, it’s beyond funny to me that I keep getting Old Spice ads on this video, knowing the guy played Luke on the Netflix series
Cari, your Mortal Instruments videos sent me down a yt reading/book critique rabbit hole I haven't left for months (might honestly bc closer to a year at this point). I've found so many channels because of you, my own writing has been helped so much, and I've been endlessly entertained. I've never even read these books lmao just watched the first season or something of the hulu series when I was a teenager. But thank you for making these, genuinely.
Edit: I'm absolutely going to watch this while making sims later
💙
Onestly love that for you and same, I too have discovered some new channels and I hope it will help me improve my writing. Also I'm Italian so it helps me so much with my English practice.
Is there any channel in particular you would recommend?
@@howlpendragon8309 100% Reads with Rachel, her videos are SO good. Entertaining, yet educational. She's honestly one of my fav youtubers.
the jace teenage dream edit is sending me every single time it just gets funnier and funnier omfg
jace this whole book: would u still love me if i was a worm?
Girl I need the infernal devices recap pretty please, one of my fav trilogies, please do it 🥺
saaaaame
we need the will herondale content!
Imagine the Will montage 😩
Another girl has made a recap like cari, is not that known but you can search for it
WE NEED THE WILL HERONDALE COMMENTS
When the world needed her most, she returned with a part 3.
Can't wait to listen to this! Thanks for all of your effort.
the camp rock izzy and emo/lover jace edits were just top tier
the brother zachariah "if you know you know" part plus the taylor swift song killed me 🤣we all really have seen this film before and yet here we are 😅
Absolutely screaming with laugher every time the teenage dream jace edit pops up
*spoiler* if you haven't watched the whole video
.
.
.
is anyone else wondering how alec didn't feel jace die and get reborn by the angel through the parabatai bond??
Wait a minute… 😮 😅
It was honestly such a plot hole that even 12 year old me thought about it while reading it. It's very obvious how much Cassandra Clare really only cared about Jace/Clary, to the detriment of like every other character and relationship lol
he did feel it apparently, it's mentioned in the later books
he did feel it but he was in the middle of battle and jace wasn't dead for very long so alec didn't think too much of it
I can't explain how much I love the Jace edit and the fact that you play it multiple times in every video, it's like the Bat Boys intro music, simply iconic.
the Jace montage lands with me every single time
Brother Zachariah’s little callout might be the best thing you have ever done.
2:15 THIS BIT WAS SO FUNNY. I wasn’t expecting that. And the camera work? Amazing, but there we go again with that horrible plot. Will the author ever leave it behind? My god.
I really appreciate the consistent audio and visual reminders for brother zachariah, jace, and Sebastian.
Never stop including that.
Also, thank you for your service. I love these videos and will always watch them.
Have I read every single book in the series multiple times? Yes. Am I still going to watch a three hour video breaking it down for me? Yes.
this series has made me re-read this series for nostalgia reasons and I'm so glad it lead me down this path because this series is so UNHINGED
someone please make a compilation of every time cari says "keep it in your backpocket." i love it so much!
i realize i don’t actually want to read this series i just like listening to you tell me what the whole series is about so thank you for being a good storyteller
Please don’t ever stop doing plot summaries! Your editing cracks me up and I end up feeling like I’m hanging out with a friend gossiping about books for hours 😂😂
cari I am begging you to do the infernal devices bc I NEED to see brother Zachariah’s pic on that wall again
Brother Zachariah…. Oh god is that Jem??? It’s been so long
I fully believe that somewhere in an alternate timeline Cari is a cool history professor giving hilarious lessons on the past happenings of the globe. We love you, Professor Cari! Thank you for dedicating yourself to educating us on the Mortal Instruments 🫡♥️
the Maureen photo, I CAN'T 💀
The vampire costume stock photo when you mentioned camille is pure gold 🤣🤣🤣
The fact that your breakdown has me wanting to read this book says so much about your skills and talent
her breakdown of acotar was so masterfully done i went and read the actual book……… it’s only good when cari tells it 😬
I love the zoom ins and music for Sebastian and brother Zachery its so funny every time their mentioned
In this format, with you talking/making this, I would watch any book being recapped like this fr.
infernal devices when? it's something i need in life
You are probably burnt out on the Shadow Hunters but I would DIE if you did the Infernal Devices series. I think it is so much better than City of Bones, but maybe that's just because Will Herondale is and will always be my #1 fictional man.
Me seeing this series talked about secondhand:
“These plot points can’t hurt me because I can’t read”
These video existing: “oh no I can feel the pain now”
So I saw the DW pic and got inspired.
After months of no Cari video suggestions on my feed, today i randomly thought "hmmm i wish Cari had more forgot the plot videos so i could do my chores to them" LO AND BEHOLD NOT 52 MINUTES LATER:
I feel like I manifested a video into existence..
Three hours and we're still not done??? And thats a summery god i cant imagine having to read through all of that😭 it would take me weeks
ohhh GIRLLL please tell me you’re gonna do this with the dark artifices too.
54:33 So.... He just needed his newborn vaccinations 😂😂😂
First of all, the delivery of the line "Maia throws up, on the spot" (1:11:50) is HILARIOUS and I had to rewatch it several times, and second, the camp rock clip for Isabelle butting into conversations is so funny. I absolutely adore these videos, please keep them coming!!!!!
CARI. YOU ARE A SAINT. Thank you for getting me into reading and teaching me about all the insane shi... these women write about. Love you queen. This series ❤😂 I'm so done with siblings being into each other 😂
I recently reread the books and I honestly forgot how fucking insane Sebastian is, like my man wtf is this
I absolutely love the emo music that plays for Jace everytime he’s just acting like himself. It’s just perfect!
The Jace teenage dream edit gets me every damn time
If you cover the infernal devices after this series, I will in fact be the happiest girl in the world. I need to hear you talk about the love of my life: Will
I knoww. I love Will so much. I really hope she covers the Infernal Devices next 🥲💙
the jace edit acc never fails to take me out
brother zachariah you will always be famous
Brother snackariah 🥵
💀😂
Can I just say that the lil memes were so amusing thank you for that
This type of video is simple yet unique 🔥it looks like someone talks to their friends , it brings cozy feeling
I’ve been absolutely waiting on this drop. You are about to get me through the whole day. Also, shoutout to you because you single handedly pulled me into the “I read this so you don’t have to” book tok side of CZcams, and I appreciate it everyday.
My man Brother Zachariah clearly the true hero of this story
WE ARE BACK INDEEED
I remember how frustrating I found it that they all kept losing their steeles for the sake of making their lives harder! The books would have been over in 50 pages if only those things were attached to the characters permanently!
They should have gotten those Wii remote straps
it's actually a plot point in a later series (The Dark Artifices) that Emma does her best to never lose her stele because Jace gave it to her (I think) and it's a really precious gift...only for her to have to trade it in for an entrance to Faerie
literally waited more for this video than for my eighteen birthday 🙏🏻
@@groofay in italy, where I live, its a very important part of our lives and its celebrated with big parties, shiny dresses and very often these parties lasts from late evening to morning. so that's why I took it as an example in my previous comment
@@groofayno worries, in Europe it's when you officially come of age, can drive by yourself and drink every alcoholic beverage but yeah... 😅🤷 Apart from official letters coming your way, you don't feel much different right away
also take a shot every time isabell camp rocks into the scene
Simon was always my favorite character, with *duck hating* Jace in close second 🖤🖤
I love your jimon shipper coming out every possible opportunity... same girl
We will see the new plots from the walls of your new home, won't we?
This wall will be missed 😭
Anyway, these kinds of videos I find them the best. Thanks, Cari!❤
Aaaahhhhhhhh!!!!! My wedding gift! I listen to part 2 every night and every morning on my way to work!! ❤😂 I was half tempted to pull 4&5,6 off the shelf to finish the story. Thank you!!!
my only exposure to these books are these videos and before i watch this im gonna theorize that clary also has angel blood(thus why she was unharmed during the whole motorcycle falling from sky thing) so the incest is back in a new and fresh way
I had no idea that Prague story was a real legend, I thought it was just from Goat Story 😭
That Jace montage sends me everytime. I want the next part soooo bad tho 🥲
2:47:05 the woman was too stunned to speak
thank goodness for this video, ive just been obsessively rewatching all your old videos so it's great to have even more material to have on repeat for all eternity!! 🙇♀🥰
i adore this series SO MUCH. if you haven't had enough of cassie clare i would love it if you covered the infernal devices at some point!!
the way I hold my breath in anticipation every time the teenage dream jace edit pops up!!
honestly the best thing to ever exist~
THE BROTHER ZACHARIAH PICTURE???? im dying
I started reading jimon (jace x Simon) fanfic bc of this video series and the dynamic is exactly as good as I imagined, thanks Cari!
Omg my love brother Zachariah 😭😭😭 I’d love if you’re ever able to do one of these for the infernal devices, they’re my fave
Thank you, Cari. I can finally do my monthly house cleaning with your podcast. You are a life saviour.
I LIVE for the inserted clips. The more they come up the better
