Julian Blackthorn

What others see: Ruthless, awefull, terrible, liar, manipulative, crazy and so on.

What I see: a cinnamon roll, makes pancakes, hates to see his kitchen dirty, cries in Titanic, when bitten yells in class saying "I was very excited to study".

Mark’s brain choosing between Kieran and Cristina

[lookingbetterinblacksince1-blog1]

“I like the clock,” he said, pointing up at it. “There’s a legend about that clock.” She wiggled her eyebrows at him. “For a second, when it chimes the hour, the gates to Heaven open.” Livvy sighed; a rare wistfulness flashed across her face. “As far as I’m concerned, Heaven is just the Institute being ours again. And all of us going home.”

(Later)

But the soul, the spirit that made her Livvy was no longer there: It was something that had gone away to a far and untouchable place, even as Julian ran his hands over her hair again and again and begged her to wake up and look at him just one more time. High above the Council Hall, the golden clock began to chime the hour.

I can’t believe that we got a biracial relationship between a bisexual man and another man…and then a biracial lesbian couple with a bisexual woman….and then a poly relationship with a Latina woman and two bi men…and a romance between a trans woman and a man…and now a confirmed romance between an autistic boy and another bisexual boy…I’m just…feeling so…blessed rn

Cristina: this is my boyfriend Mark

Cristina: and this is Mark's boyfriend Kieran

A quick sketch of kieran and the lightwood boys I love the scene where kieran plays with little max in the snippet of lady midnight by @cassandraclare

ok hear me out: ash theory

Ash might be the son of the Seelie Queen, but we don’t know that yet. We do know, though, that the Unseelie King has something of the Queen. What if it’s Ash the King has? What if the King wants Ash to be the next king of the Unseelie Court? It’s possible. Also, what if the Queen wants Ash to rule the Seelie Court? If so, Ash would have power over both Seelie and Unseelie, meaning whole of Faerie. He could be either of great threat to Shadowhunters, or a big ally. Ash would be really powerful that way, being the ruler of Faerie and also half-shadowhunter. That kid would either break all hell loose or join pieces together.

Share your thoughts with me on this lol

Kitty headcanon

I want a scene where everything that has happened finally catches up with kit. The death of his father, the lies he was told and the loss of his friend. I want him to give into his emotions, but I want him to do it in front of the blackthorns and I want Ty to be the one that hugs him and calms him down, while everyone else just stands their shell socked that kit is crying and Ty is the one comforting him

Bonus chapter

So in the copy of LoS that I have there's an extra chapter/deleted scene where Jules and Emma talk about their feelings for each other and Emma says: "I love you, Jules." "I love you. Just not that way." And that's the end. No reaction, no reason, just that. "Just not that way"???? @cassandraclare What does that mean???

[lookingbetterinblacksince1-blog1]

Reading the end of LoS like:

It's three pages, what could possibly go wrong??? The answer: A WHOLE F*CKING LOT
