The way I love a spin-off paranormal/urban fantasy series of a more popular paranormal/urban fantasy series that’s set after the events of the first series with different characters and the female protagonist only featured in the last book or last couple of books of the original series but developed a friendship with the female lead of the og series in them, and the spin off is set in California where there’s a murder mystery going on and the main couple is a blonde girl with brown eyes and a brunette boy with green eyes who paints, and their love is forbidden because of the fantastical government which the storyline/themes are extremely critical of and also there’s familial/psuedo-familial drama and exploration of parts of the magical lore of the world the og series didn’t get into as much (witchcraft/alchemy for bl faeries for tda).

#(I saw a Sydrian x Blackstairs edit on insta and couldn’t resist lol)#bloodlines #the dark artifices #va #tsc #sydrian #blackstairs #s speaks #yes i know these are fairly standard urban fantasy tropes but it’s weird that it happened twice and both were my favs #(I also think of TID as in sync with BL in terms of Sydney/Tessa’s personalities and being a witch/warlock in this world rather than a #dhampir vampire or shadowhunter)#and personality wise instead of aesthetic tbh Emma is more like Rose than Sydney. and Julian is more like Lissa than Adrian.#but that still proves my point romance is alive #also speaking of which similar situation where all three spin offs have main couples I absolutely love while the main canon ship in the og #series is … decidedly not to my taste as a romance overall
