„He was well named, Sebastian had said once. He was born to rule over a land of ash.“

I may present to you Ash Morgenstern

[helenofblackthorns]

thought about the livvy & jace/janus parallels again 378 dead 2992 injured... like wdym they were killed by the exact same sword, with jace being stabbed in the back & livvy stabbed in the front. wdym they were raised on the shores of the exact same lake almost exactly five years apart. wdym they were both came back wrong. the way livvy and janus share the common goal of just wanting to get what they lost too, and they both spend their gotsm stories watching their loved ones with no way to properly interact with them despite how badly they want to.

it's arguably one of the things that terrifies me the most going into twp like literally what does it all mean... what does this mean for livvy...

There's gonna be a scene in TWP where Janus tells Ash that Dru doesn't love him, that it's just a spell and Ash is heartbroken and goes with him. I can SMELL IT

[perpetualprocrastinationisme]

The Perfection that is the Kickstarter Art

Let's talk about how every season perfectly matches each character.

Dru's confident, always funny, has no time for stupid things, and so much more. She's BURSTING with life, just like summer is. Summer is the time that things are harvested because they've grown into what they're meant to be. Just like I know Dru is going to grow into the exact kind of epic hero that I know she's meant to be when it's her time to help save the world in TWP. Think about it, we know she hadn't quite figured out what her place was in TDA since she was always seemingly put on the sidelines to help with Tavvy since she was younger. In TWP she's grown up and will be maturing into the kind of people Emma and Julian were in TDA.

Summer is also the time that sun is seemingly always out, ice doesn't stand a chance in this season. In this way, I can see Dru melting away the ice that has probably formed around Ash's heart from having such a tumultuous and traumatic childhood and being raised by people like Janus, Annabel, Sebastien, and the Seelie Queen. She will also help him grow into the person he is meant to be in TWP.

As mentioned above, Ash's life up to the point when TLKOF starts has been anything but filled with warmth and love. It's been cold and frigid, devoid of care and filled with Sebastian's sadistic ways, Janus who was most likely preoccupied with getting Clary instead of giving Ash a stable childhood, unhinged Annabelle briefly, and the Seelie Queen who I can't imagine is the most loving mother in the world. It's understandable that he will most likely have some iciness to him that will sting other people when he first interacts with them. However, winter does not last forever...

Because Spring is always right around the corner. I think it's absolutely brilliant to make Kit represent Spring and Ty represent Fall. Spring is a time for rebirth, new beginnings, and blooming despite the harsh winter that just occurred. Kit has been through so many unimaginable things like being raised by Johnny who was very much not a loving presence in his life, finding out he is apart of a people group that he actively despised, then learning that he is part of one of the most famous Shadowhunter families of all time, and THEN finding out that he is also the heir to both faerie courts. Kit had every right to let this shatter him and make him run away. Yet time and time again we see Kit meet these unexpected turns with an undying capacity to love others like Ty, Livvy, Dru, Jem, Tessa, Mina, etc. Yes, as Spring he occasionally has the bitter remnants of winter show up in him but he’s overwhelmingly a person characterized by the promise of Spring. Of embracing new beginnings and loving even when he's been shown love himself far less then he should have been.

Tiberius Blackthorn, you as Fall makes me quite sad. Ty was raised in a summer-like house. Sure, his family has been through so much with losing both of their parents and the Dark War, but they've never ceased to wrap each other in love. His was a life filled with the warmth of summer but in the latest books we see him slip farther and farther from that warmth both figuratively and literally. Figuratively, we see how he's starting to be more separated from people that care the most about him because of raising Livvy. His family because of how he has to keep it a secret and Kit because of what the aftermath of the resurrection did to their relationship. Literally, we see him move from sunny Los Angeles to the icy Scholomance in the Carpathian Mountains. Fall is when things start to decay and lose their vibrancy and I'm quite afraid this is what is happening to Ty :( He almost seems like he's a bit faded in the most recent official arts of him, especially the one in the Kickstarter that included him, Livvy, and Irene.

Also, do you notice that all of the other books only have a single word on them (well, we can't tell from Ash) like Spring or Summer? Yet Ty's is "The Fall." Could it symbolize how he's figuratively fallen since the death of Livvy, hurtling toward a frightening future because of his necromancy? It also kills me how he seems sad in his artwork while the rest seem happy or at the very least nonchalant.

Oh Lily Chen I fear for your (un)life in TWP

[the-best-of-the-myrmidona]

I keep hearing about how people think cassie is hinting at the death of one of the TMI gang, but hear me out......

It's Janus

[mariskila]

So, maybe this would explain why every Herondale can see ghosts? Maybe?

Janus at the end of forever fallen.

@cassandraclare ‘s character

[margareturtle]

Sacrifices in TWP (we have to prepared)

(I don’t hate (most of) these characters they are just possibilities to be prepared)

Fairchild: Jocelyn (she’s a grandma)

Lightwood: Maryse (the Lightwood curse—only possible lightwood)

Rosales: Diego (look I love him,, but their is the Inquisitor curse and if he is inquisitor…)

Herondale: Janus (ONLY JANUS—tho maybe Thule!Kit also if he exists idk 😭)

Mendoza: Beatriz (she’s simon’s friend — rip george and jordan,, also she lives in New York so she’s closer to him now)

Dearborn: ZARA (SEEYA YOU WON’T BE MISSED—and Julian Blackthorn doesn’t do mercy a second time)

Villalobos: Manuel (also won’t be missed)

The Seelie Queen (this one feels inevitable tbh with Ash and Kit and all)

Nene (she’s not very relevant, but it would still be sad for Mark and Helen— I could see her dying to protect Kit or Ash as well possibly)

Thule!Raphael (I’m sorry, I can just see him being like eww no I would never die for Magnus and then dying for Magnus or Lily a second time 😭)

Catarina Loss (I could also see her dying to protect Kit, bc of his connection to Roland Herondale)

Ashdown: Cameron (if he died for Thule!Livvy for some reason I would actually perish)

Ghost!Livvy: (I don’t think we will lose another Blackthorn—we can’t,, but I don’t think Ghost!Livvy is gonna stick around)

Adaon (idk I feel like he might be assigned to protect Ash or smth and die in a fight or smth)

Thule!Simon (if he’s alive and some super powerful Vampire or smth)

Pedroso: Marina (Thais’ mom,, ngl feels like everyone who still has a mom in TWP won’t by the end of it 😭—but I will stay hopeful for Thais’ mom at least)

[helenofblackthorns]

I'm so excited to see how the family dynamic of the Fairchilds will end of developing in twp. like how will Ash fit into everything. because while technically speaking Jocelyn & Luke are his grandparents and Clary is his aunt and Jace (& Simon) are his uncles but like. none of them know him and he's like 16/17 years old. Clary and Jace are 24 in twp like they're barely older than him and Jocelyn's 44, I can't imagine he'll feel like a grandson or nephew yknow. add on top of that the only decent parental figure he has is Janus, an alternative version of Jace who's evil... like idk how he's going to feel about them and I don't know how they're going to feel about him once they actually meet him.

plus I don't think Ash likes his dad or identifies with him if the absence of Morgenstern on his flower card is anything to go by so.... idk what to expect actually

[mayaheronthorn]

I know that Janus truly loves Ash, not because of the spell, but because he's Clary's family, therefore it's also his family 😭
