erchommai:THERE’S A SWIFTNESS IN HER MOVEMENTS JONATHAN THINKS he might never get used to. That daunting sense of familiarity — of  K N O W I N G  that he has yet to find in anyone else. ( Not that there had been much of anyone else. ) Both exhilarating and unnerving at the same time. Trembling knuckles still at her touch. The threat of hell fire rumbling in his chest dissipating for the few poignant moments her own smaller fingers wrapped around his larger ones, ensnaring all his frustration in her grip before releasing it in a series of action just as unprovoked as his rage.

A delicate curve of an almost smile stretches over plush lips, dark hues resonating with almost mocking amusement if it weren’t so genuine. A simple grand gesture of comfort he knew he could only come to expect from her. Fingers curl into her touch, lacing their hands together long after the moment has passed and his gaze returned to the sad mess of her previous art work face down on the floor.

          “ You’re aware that wasn’t necessary. Right? “

Their hands are brought a breath away from her lips. “Yeah, it was,” she assures. It seems a bit much, but she’s learned how to read him. That was her duty, she had this gift. An ability to read people in a way that their father couldn’t. There was enough empathy in her soul for her to see what he missed.

Fingers fit themselves between his as she maneuvers herself onto her stool, and at a more tolerable height in comparison to his own. “You’d still be staring at it and if you weren’t, I would be.” Her torso wiggles, the stool squeaking with her, and she smiles up at him. “And I happen to be a firm believer in out of sight, out of mind.”

VALENTINE MORGENSTERN

↳ THE SHADOWHUNTER CHRONICLES: THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS

“I am Nephilim, no matter how much I might think the Covenant is useless and the Law fraudulent. A man doesn’t have to agree with his government to be a patriot, does he? It takes a true patriot to dissent, to say he loves his country more than he cares for his own place in the social order. I’ve been vilified for my choice, forced into hiding, banished from Idris. But I am-I will always be-Nephilim. I can’t change the blood in my veins if I wished to-and I don’t.”

“ you lied to me. ”

“You didn’t exactly give me a choice,” she growls. “If I told you what Father wanted me to do you could have ruined it.” She pulls his hand to hers to put it on her waist. “He knows how protective you are when it comes to me, and as much as I love it it could have ruined everything if you were in New York with me.”

“ i thought you knew. ”

Between fingers Sera pulls a section of Johnathan’s hair out straight. “I don’t like it.” Lips scrunch up and push out playfully. “Your natural hair is better. Black makes you look like everyone else. That’ll take forever to get out.”

“ you can’t expect me to believe nothing happened, not when you flinch everytime something touches you. ”

@erchommai | meme

Fingers have clenched into firm fists at her side, standing in her own isolation. “No one did anything if that’s what you’re wondering.” Any admittance of that kind is admission of weakness neither of them can afford. Things are at their height. “I’ve been with them for months. I’m still on high alert, Jonathan. If anyone had any idea, Angel knows, I’d be worse off than Hodge.” Hodge was just a pawn in the grande scheme but she was the queen in this game. “I’ve gone undercover before, but not that long. I slept where they slept, there was no off switch.” Their father made soldiers, spies out of them but she was still just a kid no matter how lethal she had become.

It’s okay to have fear - we’re all human; it happens - but in facing your fears, you can really open yourself up to things you never thought possible.

Hands tug harshly at her blankets to keep warmth in her body now the sweat on her skin has cooled to a chilling degree. Hands ball up into fists with the fabric in hand. “It was a lot of blood.” Eyes squeeze tightly, looking away from her father, “A river and three skulls and three stars.” She shakes her head, its still too vivid and closing her eyes only brought the image back, hazy but the message was clear enough. “We can’t let it come true.” None of her dreams had come to fruition yet, but this one was direct and left a deeper ache in her bones than the ones before.

Theme: Francis | Live Preview (In Use/Action) | Download: Code / BG .PSD

After a lot of incredibly positive feedback on my first released theme (Passing the Torch); I couldn’t think of a better way to express my gratitude to all of you than to release, well, another theme. You have all been exceptionally kind to me and I thank you for it. I hope that this, somehow, succeeds in showing even half of my appreciation.

Similar to the first, this (base) theme has been coded specifically to be extremely non-coder friendly through meta tag usage, which allows all customization (which includes the popup pages) to be done without venturing into the theme’s coding. It consists of the same aesthetic as its predecessor, but with a cleaner and much more spacious overall feel. Features include extras such as my text-wrapping for icons, boxed blockquotes and first letter/capital styling— all which can be turned on and off at the flip of a switch.

PLEASE READ / IMPORTANT NOTES:

1. To get your askbox working in the popup page: While I mentioned that you generally do not need to venture into the code of this theme, this is the one thing you do need to venture into the coding for. But it’s very simple, simply click on Edit HTML, then click the little cogwheel icon at the very top, then choose ‘Find and replace’, in the left box that just appeared, you type YOURURLHERE and in the one on the right, you type your own URL, then click ‘All’. Here, let me show you.

2. Popup pages not appearing? Go into your blog’s settings and make sure that the option ‘Always serve blog over SSL‘ is turned off, in other words, it needs to be grayed out, like so. This option has the tendency to interfere with a lot of coding, including popup pages and music players.

3. Subheaders for your popup pages (similar to the little headers in your description box) are created by wrapping your text like so: <h4>Your text here</h4>

3. If you utilize the boxes on the customization page for your popup pages, I’m aware that they are a little wonky. Sadly, this is something on Tumblr’s end and therefore out of my control. I would suggest writing what you want in a program such as Notepad or Wordpad and then copying it over into the respective boxes.

If you intend to use the theme, please like or reblog this post. You’re under no obligation whatsoever to do so, but I’d immensely appreciate it!

What do we know about the Morgensterns? Disgraced, bit intense, extinct, but they were always a bit crazy.

Independent Morgenstern family based on Cassandra Clare’s The Mortal Instruments novel series // Valentine Morgenstern | Seraphina Morgenstern | Jonathan Morgenstern

[echoerthei-a-blog]

phaesphorosborne: Open conversations happened more frequently with Seraphina –– he held very little back from her. She knew of both her brothers, of many of Valentine’s plans and strategies, of their vision and purpose –– and in return she didn’t often question him. Despite her features, which suggested that she was very much like her mother, Valentine often found that his daughter and he shared many characteristics; this was something he could relate to and allow him to trust her. Frankness was appreciated, as long as it came with respect and was worded with care –– something Jonathan lacked and Jace often didn’t try for. Thus, Seraphina truly was a soothing breeze on a hot day when it came to their family.

❛  Is that so?  ❜  Black gaze stills on his daughters face, his other extremities pausing in movement, though a hand still remained on his steaming mug. A moment passed, still and weighty before a single index finger began to tap in a considering motion on the ceramic in hand.  ❛  Perhaps if Jonathan behaves in the coming week, I might consider a short trip. Though, if you weren’t serious, you won’t mind if your brother fails.  ❜  Of course, he’s testing her. He’ll then, in turn, test Jonathan –– push him to his limits and set the boy up to fail. Should he succeed, then Valentine would allow the trip. A simple enough concept. He would see how his children performed under the prospect of a plentiful reward, such as it was.

She’s almost shocked by her father’s proposal. It’s not an unknown secret in the house that she could negotiate with him better than either of her brothers, one too rebellious in his own ways and the other far too obedient to ever try. But the assumption for the older Jonathan to fail creates a sting in her chest that she douses with a gulp from her still steaming mug of coffee. The assumption isn’t unwarranted, Jonathan’s temper lives on a much shorter fuse than that of their father’s. With Jonathan, idle hands were quite literally the devil’s playthings.

Setting the cup down, Seraphina’s inhale is brisk to cool the burning trail left running down her throat. “It’s,” she began before a cough interrupted her with its urgency, “A fair deal.” And a fair test. Jonathan was meant for her to be able to handle, bring down in escalated situations. If she could not maintain that at home with the prospect of a reward above their heads, how could it be managed in a much less controlled environment. It’s not very practical to leave a trail of dead bodies to point out their location simply because her brother felt like it. “But that still leaves the question as for our agenda today.”
