#CHAIN OF IRON SPOILERS

[rinadragomir]

Me?🙄 Crying?🤨Um...YES?...

[rhiannons-bird]

In my eyes Grace using her powers to make James and Matthew kiss her, and generally controlling men (Charles being among them but above all James) was always the bigger offence than her interfering with James & Cordelia’s relationship. Like, it’s literally SA by magic (and in Matthew’s case it wasn’t even addressed plus she gaslit him into thinking that he’d done sth wrong and used it to keep him in check), and James was clearly traumatised by the experience. Not saying that Grace deserves eternal punishing for it because it’s def more nuanced than that. But people need to start calling it what it was instead of playing up the romance drama 😭

well 2 out of 3 isn't so bad

The way I'm rooting for the ships (jordelia, blackdale, gracetopher) that are on the CP2 family tree

My issues with chain of thorns aside, Thomas' come out was so fucking funny bc of how in character all the interactions were

Thomas, being the dramatic queen he is, simply decided to yell it out to his whole family without preamble and completely out of the blue that he's in love with a dude

Gideon ,our clueless sweetheart (bless his heart, he's trying), was like I wanna be supportive but I dont understand wtf is going on.you're in love? with carstairs? when did THAT happen? Help

Eugenia, another huge-ass dramatic queen, was like YALL HEARD HIM MOTHERFUCKERS,YOUR OPTIONS HERE ARE ACCEPTANCE OR ACCEPTANCE

And sophie, our always practical babe, was like enough chit chat all of you.When is son in law coming for dinner?

[bogwitchbooks]

They’re so messy I love them

In TID Gabriel says that Gideon is an unsung comic genius and I think he 100% passed that on to Thomas.

That boy is the funniest mf in the series omg.

A child raised by him AND Alastair Carstairs? The comedic power it would hold.

imagine having the best big brother in the world

pls don’t jump me but i felt like the lucie/cordelia parabatai thing was very forced and very performative and i don’t really mean cc’s writing (except for the end where they really do become parabatai) i more mean them as characters in lore

i think one of my chot predictions was just that lucie and cordelia didn’t go through with the parabatai thing and it would be a moment of maturity or something after a childhood of proclaiming to everyone that they’d be parabatai one day and being really idek james i think at some point explained it better than i did but it felt very unserious/immature

i appreciate that what actually ended up happening is a cute little ‘friends can make up’ ditty but i think it would have also been nice to see them accept that they’ve grown apart or can still be good friends without necessarily having to be parabatai I DON’T KNOW

[tys-kitty]

Alastair and Matthew realizing they have quite a lot in common

[rinadragomir]

Gracetopher nation, wake up✨

[the-dark-artifices-trees]

Why does Cassie alway have the science geeks go through the most painful events 😭

Henry Fairchild - become paralyzed from the wait down

Christopher Lightwood - death

Grace Blackthorn - her whole childhood

Ty Blackthorn - failed attempt to resurrect Livvy + his whole situation with Kit

[helenofblackthorns]

the fact nobody got slapped in tlh is a crime, several of those characters should have been humbled asap

[astriefer]

I can't believe Thomas kicks himself for thinking of twittering birds and Persian princes when Alastair is right there reciting damn poetry while they're making out

Thomastair is Chot's great highlight aren't they?

Alastair stole my heart on this book, and even their drama is hilarious

Alastair self sabotaging: Oh no Thomas we can't, your friends will never accept us, especially Matthew

Matthew: Im actually fine with it bruh. My life is a dumpster fire and I've seen weirder shit happen

James: I'm your brother in law, ding dong

Kit: my crush is currently in jail, I really don't have the moral high ground to judge anyone.And I wouldn't anyway

Alastair: Oh... well, Thomas you couldn't possibly want me, wretched being that I am

Thomas: *being the embodiment of the homer simpson-going-down-a-staircase-on-a- wedding gown meme when it comes to alastair since day fucking one* I want you baby

Alastair: are you sure? Like sure, sure? I'm bad for you

Thomas: I AM SURE, I LIKE BAD (and no, you're not)

Alastair: gay panicking and sweating cause the excuses ran out

Thomas: all ready and willing to spend the rest of his days with alastair and have his persian babies

Sophiedeon: We love you, but BITCH CALM THE FUCK DOWN
