Cruel and Unusual Death: Those who fail the Ascension ceremony are shown in Angels Twice Descending: their bodies are literally cooked from the inside out as they spend their last moments screaming in agony. Unfortunately, the victim is Simon's best friend in the Academy, George Lovelace.

I Want Grandkids
 Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy / int_23cc7485
comment
I Want Grandkids: Maryse and Robert Lightwood have this attitude in the story Born To Endless Night, despite agreeing on very little else. To the extent that even with their history of Fantastic Racism, they are positively ecstatic when Alec and Magnus adopt an abandoned warlock baby. The head of the New York Institute and the Inquisitor of the Clave — both former members of Valentine's Circle! That they approve of the adoption the instant they find out about it, and proceed to drown Alec and Magnus in parenting advice, while imposing time limits on which of them gets to hold the baby for how long, makes it clear that they consider a warlock grandchild better than no grandchild.

 Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy / int_39956254
comment
Homosexual Reproduction: Subverted in the story Born To Endless Night. Robert Lightwood suspects that Magnus somehow did this magically when he and Alec suddenly adopt an abandoned, blue-skinned, warlock baby. Noting that Alec's eyes are deep blue, and Magnus's magic glows blue, Robert strongly hints that he thinks Magnus created the baby using himself and Alec as some kind of biological donors. Magnus is so stunned that he simply states that he is going to pretend that Robert never asked him about this. Which only seems to make Robert believe it more.

Blatant Lies: Jon claims to the other students that he is good friends with Jace Herondale. Simon, who actually is a good friend to Jace and has partaken many adventures with him, calls him out on this.

You Are a Credit to Your Race
 Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy / int_476302df
comment
You Are a Credit to Your Race: Deconstructed. The other shadowhunters he trains with are always saying bad things about mundanes, but then they point out that Simon is not like the other mundanes. On this, Simon realizes just how shallow they are and proceeds to transfer from the Shadowhunter class (which he was originally assigned in, because of his previous experiences with the Shadow World) to the mundane class, so he can be with people who don't see him by his status first.

Fantastic Racism
 Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy / int_57b80b45
comment
Fantastic Racism: Most of the Shadowhunters (especially those living in Idris) have some pretty racist attitudes towards Mundane (who they see as inferior and useless) and Downworlders (who they see as evil and untrustworthy). In Nothing but Shadows, James Herondale ends up being expelled from the Academy for a crime he didn't commit. It becomes obvious that this is mainly because the students and teachers fear his demonic ancestry.

"Rashomon"-Style
 Tales From The Shadowhunter Academy / int_7bb1296b
comment
"Rashomon"-Style: A few of the stories are told in this fashion. The first version is sanitized for the Shadowhunters and therefore biased to their side, while the second version is considered to be the "true" one. In The Lost Herondale, the Clave version of the Lost Herondale story is that Tobias Herondale cowardly left his mates to die and his pregnant wife to take the blame of his disappearance, leading to the latter's execution. The truth, as told by Catarina, is that Tobias was traumatized by a vision that the warlock gave him and went mad. Also, his wife, Eva Blackthorn, managed to give birth to a son that Catarina brought to America to be raised safely, away from the wrath of the Clave. In Pale Kings and Princes, Helen tells the class about how her parents met. Her faerie mother, Nerissa, enchanted Andrew to fall in love with her, conceiving Helen and her brother Mark, while torturing Andrew's brother, Arthur, to insanity. Arthur, in his last bits of sanity, managed to knock Andrew out of the enchantment and killed Nerissa. The truth, known to no one, is that Andrew and Nerissa genuinely fell in love with each other, while Arthur was tortured not by Nerissa, but by her sister. Andrew eventually found out about this and, feeling guilty, left Faerie with his brother, which Nerissa reluctantly approved of.

Death by Newbery Medal: To a T. George Lovelace is Simon's closest friend in the Academy and the one who helps him find a purpose in his new life. He ends up dying in the last short story, Angels Twice Descending, right after Simon tells him that he considers him to be a brother, no less.

Boarding School of Horrors: For the mundane students, the Shadowhunter Academy is definitely this, as they have to endure ungodly amount of bullying, racist taunts and persecution (both from Shadowhunter students and teachers) and still have to think about their studies.
