#I LOVE GETTING ASKED SHIT LIKE THIS AND JUST GETTING QUESTIONS ABOUT TWP

[wikitpowers]

How do you think Kit and Anush’s relationship will play out in TWP? Like, do you think Kit will be a bit jealous of him? Anush might be protective of Ty? Maybe they’ll hit it off?

before i get into the kit/anush relationship i wanna first off say that i really hope ty and anush are really really good friends. like i hope they got super tight at the scholomance and can truly rely on each other, i just really need ty to have a bestie like anush (and seems super sweet <3). and if that is the case in twp, then i think kit would definitely be jealous of anush and how close they are. he might even assume they are in a relationship and that would make him even more heartbroken (and me absolutely shattered).

so i think at first, he would for sure be jealous of anush. and actually i think that like you say, anush totally would be protective of ty (that's something i need desperately)!!!!! bc i imagine at the start of twp, kit will be really cold and distant to ty in order to protect himself and anush might feel iffy towards him bc of it as he is ty's best friend. but after all the angst is over, i just know kit and anush are gonna be really great friends and have fun together🫶🏻

AND AHAHHAHA I NEVER THOUGHT THEY COULD HIT IT OFF! THAT'S A NEW IMAGE IN MY MIND :') but honestly, i don't think they would, kinda bc of what i said before. like even if anush found him attractive, he wouldn't act on it bc he wouldn't like kit's treatment of ty. but that's just a silly little theory i made up! f knows what will actually happen :') but what a turn of events it would be if they did hit it off :') but i would also hate that bc 1) NO MORE LOVE TRIANGLES I BEG U CASSIE! and 2) kitty are literally ~soulmates~ and are angsty enough on their own. shit i'm sorry naturally my reply got long :')

the wicked powers friendship headcanons

a bunch of headcanons for the twp gang because i love them

kit has a tiktok account

90% of his videos has dru in them (he did the renegade with dru and julian flipped his shit when he saw)

but he has one video of ty with the ‘aye yo, boyfriend check’ meme

and one video of ash with the ‘you’re gonna wanna be my best friend, baby’ song and its just a close-up of his face

speaking of ash he uses the surname herondale to disguise himself

because no one would talk to him if they knew he was a morgenstern

well he doesn’t really care about people not talking to him anyway, but julian, emma, clary, and jace do want to protect him from the kind of hate he would get if people knew

but kit knows

ty knows

dru knows

kit never experienced the damage valentine and sebastian caused so his reaction wasn’t that bad

ty clenched his fists, nodded, said ‘you’re not him. i just have to remind myself that every time i talk to you now’ and moved on

dru was probably the most emotional; she avoided him for two days

but then they watched the grudge series (the original japanese one, not the hollywood one obviously, they’re not heathens) and things slowly start to get back to normal

ash accompanies ty when he goes out to collect crabs and lizards often

ty explained to him what ‘bioluminescence’ once and ash nodded, said everything in faerie is bioluminescent

julian had to explain to ty why u-hauling to the lands of faerie at two am is Not a Good Idea

sometimes the four of them sleep in the same room together

kit and ty cuddle, sometimes kit uses dru’s tummy as a pillow

dru can sleep in any position, she doesn’t mind cuddling and she doesn’t mind sleeping alone, though she does find her friends’ touch comforting

especially when the nightmares start to kick in

as for ash he doesn’t really like human contact while he’s asleep

but one time in his sleep he reached out for dru’s hand and they held hands the entire night

(kit woke up first and took a picture of them)

kit dragged ty to pride

at first ty doesn’t understand why mundanes feel the need to celebrate their sexuality since in the shadowhunter world same-sex marriage is considered more normal

that, and the fact that he’s raised in a very non-homophobic environment

but kit explains a little bit more and now he thinks its cool that people are brave enough to be who they are

especially in a world where everyone tells them not to

they had fun there, they wore matching couple shirts, kit painted a small bi flag on his cheek and a small rainbow flag on ty’s cheek

they kissed a lot

please let these boys be happy

when ty first saw ash’s wings he thought they were very cool

he asked a lot of questions and ash was only comfortable answering like, half of them

but its ok he’s a curious boy and we all love him

dru thinks his wings look ‘gothic’

‘like an 80s stephen king horror movie angel of death kind of vibe’

‘i have no idea what you’re saying but i love you, therefore i agree with you’

kit wanted to reenact ‘a whole new world’ where he’s jasmine and ash is aladdin

because of course the dumbass wants to know how it feels to fly

his baby sister, the three year old mina carstairs, was very adamant about this idea too

but ash has qualms about flying with an eighteen year old shadowhunter and a three year old child on his back

sometimes jaime comes and visits them at the los angeles institute

kit and jaime love dicking around because they radiate an equal amount of dumbass energy

ash was a little jealous of jaime at first

because of dru’s adolescent crush on him

for ash, dru is his first friend and first love

he clings to her because he can’t lose her

but eventually he grew fond of jaime and now has a soft spot for him, despite the two boys’ differences

dru still remembers the day she walked into ty’s bedroom only to find it in a complete mess, the chair was in splinters, there was blood on his pillows, and there were clothes strewn everywhere

since then she makes a note to visit his room every week and have a brother-sister sleepover with him

she knows she’ll never be livvy

what she doesn’t know is that ty doesn’t love her because she can replace livvy

he loves her because she’s dru

his little sister who loves horror movies

and when the nightmares start to show up, they know that when they wake up, their sibling will be right next to them

sometimes things are hard between the four of them

they have a lot of history, they’ve made a lot of mistakes towards each other that they can’t just undo

ash is the son of the man who killed dru and ty’s parents and the son of the woman who helped fuel the flames of the Dark War

they know he’s not sebastian but sometimes paranoia gets to them

kit is the heir to a throne he never even knew existed

ty is neurodivergent in a world where being anything but neurotypical isn’t even acknowledged

and as for dru, there will always be the gaping hole inside her that makes her feel like she doesn’t belong

but at least they have each other

yeah

yeah, they have each other.

[alma-berry]

Let’s talk about The First Heir

I got a lot of asks about the matter, so while I don’t have a concrete theory, sometimes summarizing what we do know helps.

*

One of you asked for a list of people who knows about Kit’s heritage, and I actually think that’s a pretty good place to start with!

Knows for sure:

Jem & Tessa, duh

Magnus

Catarina

Ragnor

Emma

Julian

Barnabas Hale

Probably knows:

Alec - not because of Magnus, actually... he was there when Jem and Tessa heard it from the faerie in The Land I Lost

So was Lily Chen

Jace - we know they will have a familial relationship, and it’s pretty weird to keep him out if Alec already knows.

If Jace knows, and Alec knows, Clary will know.

Hypatia Vex “That’s a lie,” he said. “My father is Johnny Rook.” “And your mother?” said the deep voice of Shade, behind them. A crowd had gathered behind him, too; they couldn’t run that way. “I don’t know,” said Kit, between his teeth. To his surprise, Hypatia raised her eyebrows, as if she knew something he didn’t. (Lord of Shadows)

Mother Hawthorn - We can debate on whether or not she actually followed the line up until Kit, but she knows the gist

The prime suspect to spill the beans is Barnabas, right? He hates Kit in particular. Warlocks have patience, so I’m inclined to believe he will wait up until the best moment, where the truth will be most harmful.

Hypatia is a mystery… we know she doesn’t like shadowhunters (a subject on which COG will probably elaborate) but she’s an ambitious woman who basically wants what’s best for her people. She’ll align herself with Shadowhunters if it’s necessary, but will she also betray them if it is?

Mother Hawthorn is no friend to Shadowhunters and we remember too well how cruel she can be. She cared about Auraline, but not about her decadents. In the very end, where will she align herself?

Lily made me worried for a while because of the Janus favor thing, here’s a theory about it. But I read somewhere that Cassie said Lily probably blocked it out of her memory from lack giving a shit.

I honestly believe none of the rest will tell - not to their families and not to their friends. Emma and Julian probably know everything - they did see Kit using his magic, and we know that they went to visit the Carstairs in Devon. But for the sake of this issue, I don’t think Ty, Dru, or any of the Blackthorns will learn about Kit’s ancestry from Jules or Emma. It would be problematic if Emma would have told Christina, because of her relationship with Kieran, and even though we know both Emma and Christina could keep a secret, I don’t think Emma would risk it - it’s not her secret to tell.

*

Will Ty figure it out before all hell brakes lose?

One of the more burning questions are - did Ty see Kit making the horses disappear? He was on a tree, yes.. but he hit one of the riders with his slingshot - which means he was looking.

In GOTSM, Ty is still hurt. He won’t talk about Kit, and he won’t talk to Kit. When Livvy asked him to write him, he didn't say "I don't want to".. he said, "He won't answer". Which means he's still sure Kit is mad at him, and him staying away is respecting Kit's decision. But Ty is the sort of person that can channel his emotions into actions, into goals, like with Livvy’s death. I find it hard to believe he would refrain from such a mystery for long. At some point, he will probably channel his pain into a relentless chase after the truth. He needs rules, he needs a plan, and he needs a purpose.

Ty is definitely a proud person… that, and the fact that discussing his detachment from Kit would result in questions he doesn’t want to answer - probably means he won’t go asking Emma and Julian about Kit. So who will he ask?

The obvious answer is Ragnor, of course. He sees him all the time at school, he already knows about Livvy, and he’s an extremely old and powerful warlock. But, he won’t ever tell. He’s far too loyal to his friends, and he stands to gain from claiming he’s the one that tricked the riders ;)

The second obvious option is Barnabas. Ty was the one who noticed Hale’s weird remark (“We tolerated you because the Shadowhunters hadn’t found you yet. But now they have and it’s a hop, skip, and a jump until you find out who you really are—” “What’s that supposed to mean?” said Ty.) But will it do him any good to ask? As we know, he hates Blackthorns… and if he knew Ty was searching for that information, he could use it against him.

I did a little reading about faerie magic and warlock magic.. and I actually disagree with one of the anon’s assumptions. I don’t think Kit’s magic “screams” faerie... But when it comes to him seeing through glamour - that’s a clue alright. The Codex specifically says that fairies are considered the masters of glamour magic. It’s not an easy connection to make, but Ty is, as we know - more than capable of getting there.

Ty didn’t know that Kit’s mother was the lost Herondale. Now he has her necklace, which means he knows both of Kit’s parents had shadowhunter blood… but apparently not only. That’s a lead - one parent is a Herondale, one’s origin is unknown. One of them, at least, had more than Shadowhunter blood.

Honestly? I don’t know if Ty will come up with something significant before TWP… because we won’t be there to read about it ;) but I’m almost certain he will try.

*

Who, how and why?

The two we know for a fact that are looking at Kit’s existence are The Seelie Queen and Janus.

The main problem, when it comes to the queen, is the fact that Kit is a Shadowhunter. If it was any other way, I don’t think she would have seen him as such a potential threat… not that she knows who and what he is at the moment. Julian thought she’s not into harming Shadowhunters just for the sake of it, but the end of TDA suggests differently - she wanted the parabatai bonds to be severed so she can weaken the Nephilim. Kit, being the descendant of the first heir and a Shadowhunter is like a spit in the face of everything she and The Unseelie King tried to accomplish with their union - all of that power could be harnessed by the wrong hands.

When it comes to Janus - I am more than sure that the fact that Kit looks like Jace will not be in his favor. I said it a while back - Janus will probably look at Kit and see the past he had, and the future that was stolen from him. The similarity between them will probably be even more pronounced in TWP - and it would be like looking at a broken, twisted mirror. By the time TWP comes, Janus will be even more ruthless - because now he has someone to love. Not just the memory of loving Clary, or even the distance stalking and occasional smooching in some alley. Its Ash - he’s everything to him. He put all of the shattered pieces of his heart in Ash’s hands, and that would clean away every remnant of guilt or empathy that was left in him.

I’m kinda scared just from thinking about it.

Killing Eve Season 3 Asks: 19, 22, 23, 32, 35 and 36. + What's your personal favorite performance of Jodie Comer?

oooohh hiii!! 

19) Sum up how you feel about S3 in three words. 

Villaneve is endgame. 

22) What song have you been listening that is not necessary from the show but has big Villaneve energy or always makes you think of them? 

The Night We Met by Lord Huron. It’s so beautiful and will forever be a Villaneve song. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGF7PswOENQ

23) Tangfastics or a KitKat?

KitKat only because I have never had tangfastiscs before lol 

32) What is your biggest criticism of S3?

Hmmmmmm. I would have to say the organization of the events in the season. Like everything felt super choppy and didn’t flow really well. It felt unnecessarily rushed. There were things that were important and didn’t get enough attention, and things that felt minor and had too much time. One of the big things was Kenny’s death. Kenny is way too important of a character for his death to just slide under the rocks. But maybe it will be something that they dig more into in the next season.  I know this was a big season for Villanelle and her personal character development, and while that’s amazing and I love seeing how she has progressed, I think there was plenty of room for other things to happen. I am sad at the lack of Eve. But, I’m interested to see how and where they are going to take season 4. 

35) Describe the expectations you had before the finale.

I tried to stay away from a lot of discussions and theories and go into the finale with as clear of a head as possible. I had a few book thoughts that didn’t happen (which I won’t say what they are in case ya’ll want to read them). But the main thing I wanted was for Eve and Villanelle to get together and admit their ridiculous love for the other. I reaaaaalllllllyyyyyyyy wanted another smooch but good things come to those who wait :) 

36) Is there something you wish Villanelle and Eve had talked about in finale that they didn’t? 

Oh this is a great question that I never thought about. The thing that I think is really beautiful about them is that they don’t always need to talk to communicate. They express so much to each other just by a look. or a kiss (wink wink) And they are able to understand so much about each other with hardly any words. But I think it would have been a really cute moment if they talked about what happened on the bus. Even if it was a brief witty exchange just acknowledging that that was a thing. Because it clearly affected them both so aggressively. And you know that neither of them have stopped thinking about it. 

what is my favorite Jodie performance??? 

OH LORD HOW ABOUT ALL OF THEM. Good god there seems like there isn’t anything that woman can’t do. Her acting is truly something that is unmatched and just will keep getting better as she grows. However, there is a scene from The White Princess where she is talking to a group of soldiers, basically telling them to get their shit together and defend their country. Her overall performance in TWP is spectacular. And just the EMOTION in her face and in her entire body is so moving and outstanding it really brought me to tears. But I also think another great performance is at the scene with Villanelle’s mother right before V kills her. Incredible. Absolutely incredible. 

These were so much fun thank you love <33

Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare

WARNING: It’s gon’ be long.

Synopsis:

What if damnation is the price of true love?

Innocent blood has been spilled on the steps of the Council Hall, the sacred stronghold of the Shadowhunters. In the wake of the tragic death of Livia Blackthorn, the Clave teeters on the brink of civil war. One fragment of the Blackthorn family flees to Los Angeles, seeking to discover the source of the blight that is destroying the race of warlocks.

Meanwhile, Julian and Emma take desperate measures to put their forbidden love aside and undertake a perilous mission to Faerie to retrieve the Black Volume of the Dead. What they find in the Courts is a secret that may tear the Shadow World asunder and open a dark path into a future they could never have imagined. Caught in a race against time, Emma and Julian must save the world of Shadowhunters before the deadly power of the parabatai curse destroys them and everyone they love.

REVIEW WITH SPOILERS!

Queen of Air and Darkness was INTENSE. My goodness... There was so much stuff that happened and were packed into this book. It was amazing and so well done with some exceptions but I’ll get into it later on. Overall, it was so emotional, dynamic, and great! And since this book was so big, I’m gonna try to go over every storyline(?) or significant character.

Starting off with Ty/Kit/Dru. I knew that some necromancy was gonna happen and I was prepared for it, BUT I thought that Livvy’s ghost was gonna pop up and say “stop it” and then everything would go back. Apparently, that’s not what happens. Ty now has to face his consequences which I’m pretty sure we’re going to see in The Wicked Powers. I wasn’t so invested in their story line, mostly because it didn’t have a big relation with the bigger story line. I felt like it was all set up for Kit and Ty’s story. I did really enjoy it though. We get to see more layers of Kit and Ty, and even Dru. I really loved getting to know Dru more. She has such a great voice and seeing things from her perspective was so interesting. I’m really excited to get more from her because what we did get from her in QOAAD, I really liked. She’s so smart, strong, and has a lot of potential to grown and be an even more amazing character.

I am loving Kit even more as we get to know him and the complexity of his character. I can understand his decision at the end when he wants to leave with Tessa and Jem without saying goodbye to the Blackthorns (especially Ty). Since Livvy’s death, all Kit did was be there for Ty even if what he was doing was really wrong. But when they both were at Lake Lyn and Livvy’s ghost came up, Ty was saying how there was nothing for him if Livvy wasn’t there, and that hurt Kit. So I can understand Kit’s decision. On another note though, KIT IS THE DESCENDANT OF THE FIRST HEIR? And that scene where he and Emma are with the Riders and magic just bursts out of him? How did that even happen? I need to know what is up with that. Again, on another note, I am always loving how Kit is accepting the fact that he’s a Shadowhunter. I love a good character development, and Kit’s development is so good. When he has that conversation with Jace, Kit wants his own weapon of choice and it was such a precious scene. We can really see Kit’s growing love of being a Shadowhunter.

We didn’t get a Ty perspective AT ALL in QOAAD so I’m really thinking Cassandra Clare is saving his voice for TWP which I’m all for. We’ll get to hear his voice and it’ll be so great. Ty was really something in this book though. I was lowkey kind of getting Julian-ish vibes from him. Ty was so determined to fix himself and his family that he completely forgot the logistics of everything and tried to do the almost impossible. We saw that Blackthorn stubbornness in him and I wasn’t all about it. I JUST NEED HIS PERSPECTIVE because when he got that letter from Thule Livvy, it seemed like he didn’t care. Not even a tiny bit. I just... I need TWP now. On a side note, holy mole. What if the Thule Jace coming to the normal Shadowhunter world is the consequence for Ty trying to raise Livvy? The necromancy could’ve opened a portal and let them pass through. Oh shit. DAMN IT. That means Ty will have to face this consequence and there’s gonna be another war. Are you kidding me?

I want to explore the Scholomance more. With just the small scenes we get of it, it seems so interesting. They weren’t happy or jolly scenes but something about it makes me want to delve in the Centurions lives more. I’m hoping that in The Wicked Powers, we will get to see more of the Scholomance. Especially since Ty is going to become a Centurion which WOW. I can’t wait for it. 

Moving onto Diana/Jia. Seeing things from their perspectives was pretty interesting considering that they are really the only adults here besides the TMI gang. We really saw the politics during their parts and it was unsettling because of the parallels it had with our real world politics. That was one thing that scared me. We know how things have gone in the real world when hateful people and extremists have power and influence. With those parallels, we can kind of grasp at how high the stakes are within the Shadowhunter government. There was that scene where Diego, Divya, and Rayan are brought upon the council and have the runes of Quietude put on them so they can’t speak. This hit me hard and made me tear up because it was so real. They, who are still basically children, aren’t given the chance to speak for themselves and are imprisoned. It was so heartbreaking to read that scene. But overall, I didn’t really care for Diana/Jia’s story line because nothing really happened.

There was that one badass scene where Diana was talking to Horace and he’s trying to convince her to side with him. I was so nervous that Diana wouldn’t have a way out of it and when she agreed to it, I was like, WE ARE FUCKED. But no. Diana grabs Horace’s sword, chops his arm off, and busts out the window like a BADASS. I was livid. 

And then the hot faerie threesome aka Cristina/Mark/Kieran. This was a pretty wild one. I absolutely loved the character development with every one of them. Not really Cristina because her character arc wasn’t that big or different. Mark and Kieran have come so far from being these broken faerie warriors to these strong and amazing people. It makes my heart ache and feel so happy. Oh my gosh, that last scene with the three of them at Magnus and Alec’s wedding, killed me. There’s that recurring line “Remember that none of it is real.” and at the end, Mark says, “Remember that all of this is real.” RIGHT IN THE FEELS.

I need to know more about the relationship between the Rosales family and faeries. There are so many unanswered questions with this. Why does Cristina have that time medallion thingy and the Rosales have the Eternidad? And I’m pretty sure there’s something sketchy about all of that. I need answers...

Speaking of the Rosales, Diego and Jaime? I actually really liked them in this book. I was pissed at Diego for lying to Cristina but he kind of redeemed his character. He showed his compassion and kindness which I really liked, and he apologized to Cristina. He confronted the situation and knew what he did was really shitty. Side note: I really ship him with Divya and I’m hoping to see them both in TWP at the Scholomance with Ty. ALSO, Diego was asked to take the spot as Inquisitor????? Would’ve never thought of Diego as the Inquisitor but I’m not mad. Yay, Diego. Jaime literally didn’t have a huge role in here and I felt like he was just there to set up TWP story line. For a second when Diego and Jaime were in the cell together, I thought that Jaime was going to die. I think it would’ve added so much more drama if he did die and given them something to hold against the Cohort but it’s okay. Jaime lived so yay.

Really quick before we get into Emma and Julian’s part, Aline was probably one of my top favorite characters in QOAAD. She was so sassy and always stood up for Helen. She was also so understanding and logical. Aline is quick to catch onto things and I’m hoping we get to see more or Helen and Aline and their POSSIBLE BABY.

Now let’s get to Emma and Julian. I was kind of disappointed in their characters, not gonna lie. I was really liking them in the beginning but towards the end, I was beginning to not really care if they lived or not. It just makes me sad because they’re the main characters. But if I’m gonna be REAL HONEST here, I didn’t really care for anyone’s story line. This pains me to say SO MUCH because this is my favorite series in the entire Shadowhunter Chronicles. 

Anyways, back to Emma and Julian. I was really liking borderline evil Julian. He was really living up to his ruthless title and it was so interesting. I seriously thought that his character would just continue to go downhill and no one was going to or could save him from it. That scene where Emma and Julian find out that Dane Larkspear was following them and then Julian MURDERS HIM sent chills down my spine. Julian was so cold and heartless in that moment and I kind of liked it. Also, call me heartless too but Dane deserved it. When he decided to go fetch the Black Volume by himself, he was asking to be killed. Back to Julian, though I liked borderline evil and emotionless Julian, he was such an asshole. Not only did he lie to and hurt Emma, he also did the same thing to his siblings. What the fudge nuggets, Julian? I was so glad that Magnus took that spell off of him because I was low key getting irritated. BUT that spell should have never been put on him in the first place, just saying.

I still think Emma is such a great strong female lead character. As I said in my Lady Midnight review, she is strong both mentally and physically but she has emotions. She expresses those emotions and shows her vulnerabilities. She ain’t no stone cold badass who welds a sword around, threatening people all the time. She’s a cool badass and I love it. One thing I really liked was how when Emma and Julian are in Thule and Julian tells Emma that he can feel again, she doesn’t just jump at the chance to be with Julian. He hurt her and lied to her, and she ain’t about that. Even when they returned from Thule, Emma knew Julian wasn’t himself and restrained herself from getting hurt by him again. 

That battle scene in the Unseelie Court was probably one of the most epic scenes in this book for me. We get Jace and Clary back, Mark and Kieran are there in chains, about to die, and there’s also Adaon, Julian, Emma, and Cristina there. I almost forgot that ASH, ANNABEL, AND THE SEELIE QUEEN WERE THERE TOO! Everything just went to shit but Kieran killed the Unseelie King, the Seelie Queen stole Adaon, Ash and Annabel jump through that portal, and soon after when the building is in flames, Julian and Emma jump through the portal too. It was absolute chaos and I loved it. And you know what scene I lived for during this whole thing? It’s when Julian is stabbing the shit out of Ethna with Simon’s D&D figurine. Amazing.

This book made me realize how crucial or very helpful it is to have read The Mortal Instruments and The Infernal Devices. I feel like if you’ve only really read TID and TDA, you won’t be able to grasp the how high the stakes are in Queen of Air and Darkness. Especially the whole deal with the Mortal sword and the Dark War.

Speaking of the Dark War.. when Emma and Julian went to Thule, I didn’t know what to expect but I was not expecting what we got. It was so different from what we know of the Shadowhunter world and it felt like a short novella inside QOAAD. But again, being honest here, that was the best part in this entire book. I was so captivated and entertained by this alternate dimension. Seeing Livia grown up and being a leader was just so nice to see, but it was also heartbreaking. 

Y’all, Cameron deserved so much more. I don’t know about you guys but I didn’t really care or like Cameron because we got the bare minimum of him. I also don’t know if it was mentioned in the other books about how he was as a person but the way Emma described him in QOAAD, he seemed like a sweet and goofy guy. I mean, this boy sent Emma llama pictures when he was sad. How precious is that? He was done dirty in this book. He was locked in the city of bones while fighting for his life by his girlfriend Livvy, got stabbed by his own cousin, and was ridiculed by his entire family. Cameron needs a hug.

I am so loving how the writing and characters in this book are getting so (dare i say) “rebellious”. Cassandra Clare isn’t sugar coating ANYTHING OR ANYONE anymore. I just want to appreciate the appearance of curse words whether its in English or another language. My rebellious heart loves it. I think this also ties into the fact that a lot of these characters are so done with the bullshit that’s been thrown at them that they just don’t care about censoring themselves anymore.

Zara and the entire Cohort can go choke. That’s all I’m gonna say about them.

That last battle scene was just intense. And the build up for this scene was equally as intense. I just absolutely loved how Julian got his shit together and remembered who he was. He is a motherforking genius. He contacted everyone he knew and set up that meeting. This seventeen year old boy did that. He was also smart enough to know that there was obviously going to be spies at the meeting so he had a secluded one after the majority of people left. I knew the Cohort was screwed from there on out, even when it was revealed that “Oskar” was Annabel. I was shocked but I knew they were gonna be in deep shit. But back to that last battle scene. What the fork? Everything was going pretty smoothly until someone just had to throw the knife and kill someone. I was living for that scene with the Mortal Sword. Everything was coming out and it was so amazing. But shit happened, so there’s that. 

The ending for this battle scene was a different kind of battle scene that I’m used to reading. Usually the perspective stays within the battle but Cassandra Clare included ALL perspectives of this battle, on field and out. I seriously thought that after Emma and Julian became giants, they were going to die or have all of their marks stripped. I really didn’t think they were have a happy ending. I mean, I’m happy they did but, it just doesn’t make sense. Also, I was not expecting Emma and Julian to become giants. Was it only me who imagined them as the Green Giant from the frozen vegetables thingy? Haha, yeah, just me.

I did really like how we saw so many perspectives of the battle. It made for a really good battle scene, but I guess I was a bit underwhelmed by the entire ending of this book.

THAT EPILOGUE? I was kind of expecting to get an epilogue similar to the one in Clockwork Princess. In Clockwork Princess, we get closure and I felt satisfied with the entire story but THE QOAAD EPILOGUE? I’m unsettled and I have to wait until around 2022 FOR ANSWERS. My heart will be unsettled for about 4 years. Okay. Cool.

Just the fact that this whole situation is coming full circle back to TMI but with it being more complex, is making me so tired of these assholes coming back to fuck shit up. Let these children be, goddamn it. 

I seriously thought I would feel at ease when I finished QOAAD but I don’t. That’s the one thing that bothers me. This book is so big yet we have SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS AND LOOSE ENDS. Please fucking yell at me if this was also the situation for COHF because it’s been a hot minute since I’ve read it.

Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed some aspect of this even if it’s complete shit.

[beclynn-herondale]

Thanks for the tag @tsc-clave 🧡💛💙💜❤️💚

1) what is you favorite otp? Why?

Clace, because they made me believe in love again, they gave me hope again, because they had so many chances to give up and walk away but choose to never give up on the other and love each even when it's not easy, because even tho they started out with a rocky relationship, they made it into something healthy, they always respect and support each other, because they aren't just lovers, they are best friends and a team, they bring out the best in each other and cause you can't have Clary without Jace and you can't have Jace without Clary, I could go on and on

2) your top 3 characters and why you love them so much

1. Jace fucking Herondale

He is dear to me for so many reasons, he represents me in so many reasons, we both try to lighten the mood when we can cause we don't like negativity or the ones we love being sad, because he gave me hope when I needed it, when I was trying to figure out what I was even doing here?, He showed me you can heal after being used for years, he showed me that I am worth something, he and me struggle with self hatred but he showed me a road to loving yourself isn't easy but is worth it, he showed me an abuse victim can get a happy ending, he showed me to let my gentle side out again after years of being afraid of it being taken advantage of, he showed me it's okay to not be able to hate your parents even if they hurt you so much you can't really have a relationship, like Jace I feel worthless and not enough a lot and try to hide it with a lot of fake confidence (don't @ me I know it's not healthy) in the past there were characters I related to in ways but Jace was like reading about myself in moments and I related to him so deeply it was shocking, I could write a whole book about Jace but we'll leave it here.

2. Clary fucking Fairchild

This girl, where do I begin? She is small like me and makes me feel represented in that way, we both are fiercely protective of our loved ones, we both can go from 1 to 100 in a second, we both believe in what's right and will fight for it, we both see the horror and the beauty in things, like her I get underestimated all the time, we both love art (I can't draw or paint but I do love it) , I related to her on a deep level too and loved this girl from the beginning, we both have to yell to be heard and get called bossy for it, we both love a certain blonde, like Clary I get looked at as a fragile doll a lot and people are stunned when they find out I can be thrown around, we both struggle to reach things, we both are surrounded by giants, we both wi fight you if your talk shit about the people we care about, but most of all we are kind. I could write a whole book about Clary as well and why she's my goddess.

3) Alec Lightwood

It was hard to pick only three but I wanted to choose Alec because like him, I was once sheltered and afraid of coming out about my sexuality, we both are extremely protective of our younger siblings and when they get hurt or we can't be there for them, we blame ourselves, like Alec I want to see things change, like Alec I had to become a shield for my siblings, like Alec I try to see the good in people.

3) your favorite character from each series

TID - Charlotte and Cecily

TLH - Alastair and Lucie and Jesse

TMI - Clary and Jace

TEC - Alec and Magnus

TftSA - Isabelle and Simon

GotSM - Jem and Lily

TBC - Catarina Loss and Ragnor Fell

TDA - Diana Wrayburn and Cristina Rosales

TWP - Kit Herondale and Ash Morgenstern/Fairchild and Ty Blackthorn

4) think about your favorite song, which character (s) would love it as much as you?

It's Time To Go by Taylor Swift and Clace would love it

5) in which gang would you be most comfortable?

TMI Gang, no questions asked

6) the shadow world can hear you for a few seconds: what would you say?

Thanks for everything and I love you

7) you can change one thing that happens in the books: what would you change?

Jace would be bi/pan in canon andClary would be bi/pan in canon, and obviously they would be in a loving and happy relationship with each other

[aerospaceaspirant]

Oh god okay uhhhhh wow!

1) I don’t think any characters are that overrated? Like. They all have so many great strengths and it’s kinda amazing. That being said... I don’t get the appeal of Emma or Julian tbh? I just. Don’t?

2) there are so many underrated characters but in my opinion Diana, Lily and Bat are the most underrated. Like holy shit I adore them all

3) uh back to overrated characters, Emma and Julian are powerful basases but I... don’t know what the fandom sees in them tbh.

4) POTENTIAL LBOTW SPOILER I have no clue how unpopular of an opinion this is but I **love** Sammael very very much. As for unpopular protagonists, uhhh... I know he’s not unpopular but I love Simon a whole lot.

5) I didn’t like Izzy at first, tbh. I adore the living shit out of her now, but I didn’t like her and her attitude as a young uh 11 year old

6) if this question is asking me who I kin it’s every Herondale. I can and WILL project onto every Herondale alive.

7) Can I please be friends with Magnus??? I love him. I adore him. I just want him to be my friend. This needs no further explanation.

8) When will we learn more about the Seelie Queen and all her bullshit. TWP, looking at you gimme my Seelie Queen bullshit

9) what... drugs... is Peng Fang taking? I honestly don’t know what he’s doing, ever. Love the quote of not having opinions unless he’s paid to but also just like. What is he doing.

10) Janus. This also needs no explanation.

As for tags... uh... @merry-thieves and any one else who wants to do it!!!

Questions about TSC-characters

So, you guys really liked the last game with questions about the book, so I came up with something else💥

Each person I'll tag will have to answer all 10 questions

For each question, you can choose any character from the "The shadowhunter chronicles" series.

You should not just write the name, but explain why you chose this particular character

Tag people whose opinion you would like to know

If someone I haven't tagged also wants to play, then just repost♡
