Omg i can’t wait to read TWP 😭😭😭😍😍😍😍 this is so cute

Dearest Magnus,

Jem, Kit and I are so looking forward to your visit. In preparation, Kit has been attempting to teach Mina to say your name. She’s almost got it, but you may have to content yourself with being called “Agnes,” as she has trouble with the M — very trying for her as she is so advanced in her speech, just as you say Max was. You should have heard them in the kitchen this morning. “Who is coming to visit, Mina?” “Agnes!” I feel that your alter ego, Agnes, would wear sequins and be absolutely deadly at whist.

Thank you for your thoughts about the wards. I will look for labradorite at the gem store in Exeter. I tried what you suggested with the chickens—I was able to borrow a Blue Orpington from a neighbor on the last quarter moon. Since then chickens seem to be avoiding Kit, so maybe it will work on demons too? (Though can you really tell when a chicken is avoiding someone as opposed to just being a chicken?)

Jem and I are endeavoring to walk a narrow line, keeping Kit safe and hidden while also providing him with the most normal life we can. We don’t want to lock him away in a tower like a fairytale princess—he’d be miserable. And Mina would be miserable, she just adores him and rides everywhere on his back, clutching onto his shirt with her little hands. It reminds me of the way James and Lucie used to ride on Will’s shoulders. I suppose times change, but children never do.

We’re trying to allow Kit freedom wherever we can. He’s enrolled at the small school in the village, where a few of his friends know about the Shadow World and others don’t. There’s a local pack of werewolves who we’ve become friendly with, and some of their children go to school with him. I’ve begun to suspect that Kit has a girlfriend, but he’s secretive about it. (I guess that’s another thing that never changes about children—how secretive they are. I just hope he knows he can tell us anything. Especially related to demons, or in Kit’s case, the fey. A hundred and ten years later and I’m still edgy.)

He’s a puzzle, our Christopher Jonathan Herondale. About some things he’s opened up, and is willing to talk to Jem and me about them freely — his father, and what it was like growing up being able to see all sorts of peculiar things but not really understanding why. About being taught to fear Shadowhunters. About his concerns about his heritage — what it means, what kind of power he might have. I think it frustrates him, not knowing.

Other things he won’t talk about. We have asked him about Ty, as you and I discussed, but he’s like a brick wall about their friendship. Whatever happened he won’t speak of it. I think Livvy’s death hit him harder than we guessed, too. I’ve heard him call out her name in his sleep, always in this very despairing way. Sometimes he’ll say Not if you do this. Not if you do this, Ty. I feel like whatever they fought about, it must have been awful. But people can be terrible when they’re grieving; we both know that.

You can probably tell from everything I’ve said how much I — how much we — love Kit. I just love him, Magnus, like he was my own. He is my own. I’d kill anyone who wanted to hurt him, just as I would protect Mina or Jem with my life. I never thought I’d have this again, this perfect family I love so much it hurts. Strange after so many years to be so surprised by one’s own feelings — but I imagine it’s much the same for you, isn’t it? Speaking of which, I hope you and Alec and the kids are well. Please let Max know that we found his superhero cape—it was inside the piano.

I enclose a picture from your last visit here. How adorable they all are!

Love,📷

Tessa

tsc pride month - anna lightwood & ariadne bridgestock

“I would like to kiss you,” Ariadne said. Her voice shook with a fear Anna understood all too well. Ariadne was afraid Anna was going to push her away, reject her, run screaming. But how could Ariadne not know how she felt? “Please, Anna, may I kiss you?”  Unable to speak, Anna nodded.  Ariadne leaned forward and pressed her lips to Anna’s.

To all of those who made me realize kindly I drew Dru way too skinny I just wanted to say thank you! Sometimes when you are so into your works and are just used to draw so much in a certain way it is really easy not to be able to look at your own stuff objectively, so all your comments were really useful! I like her definitely more now 😄

And I do hope you like her too :)

Since I’ve already posted all of them individually, here some… Kierarktina? Marcristian? Cristieranark? Please tell me what’s the official ship name I’ve seen  too many around 🙈

Hope you like :)

I will say this: since I’m a little slow sometimes, I didn’t get right immediatly where the choice of the name “Mina” came from. But when I finally realised, I couldn’t get over how beautiful the bond between these two always have demonstrated to be! One of the best relationships of the entire Shadowhunter world to me!

Here’s how I imagine this two together as parents: super caring Jem and wild Will!

Hope you like :)

I had yet to express myself on this blog about the black lives matter movement and everything that’s been going on in the world lately. I’m here now to show my support and make it clear how important it is to me to fight for any basic human rights, to stand together against racism, to raise our voices and be loud.

I thought a lot about how I could do it by staying true to the essence of this blog, in the end I’ve decided to put together some of the strongest poc women of The Shadowhunter Chronicles by @cassandraclare

Maia Roberts - an abuse survivor; Diana Wrayburn - a trans black woman; Ariadne Bridgestock - a lesbian woman, an orphan; Hypatia Vex - a bisexual woman, a fighter for equality: Catarina Loss - a nurse, a warlock who decides to appear as dark skinned while glamoured;

We should reflect on how crucial and lucky it is for us to be able to read of such incredible role models in books nowadays.

As a last thought I just want to say: women are powerful, we are a force, we are valid and important. It doesn’t matter our skin color, our sexual orientation, our age. If we stand together in communion and acceptance, we can truly change the world.
