#blackstairs is distracted and in love

[margareturtle]

I can see The Last King of Faerie giving City of Ashes like:

Ash: hey, Shadowhunters, despite having no reason to trust you at all I wanted to warn you that there’s some shady stuff going on in Faerie

Clave: sebastian morgensterns evil son grrr

Alec: *is too busy trying to keep the clave running and trying to negotiate the cohort system to pay attention to Ash*

Clary+Jace: *too busy being kidnapped by janus*

Simon+Izzy: *off on their honeymoon or smth*

Inquisitor (?) Diego: TELL ME WHERE MY LITTLE BROTHER IS?!! DID YOU OR YOUR MOTHER KILL HIM?! 😡😡

Ash: idfk who your little brother is

Ash: *gives up and goes back to faerie with Dru + Thais, who willingly go with him*

The Clave: WE KNEW HE WAS EVIL KIDNAPPING SHADOWHUNTER YOUTH GRRRR!!

Ty: *at the scholomance sighs and adds more names to his list of ppl to find which now includes: the first heir, Jaime, Dru, and Ash*

Is Rupert the ringmaster of Blackthorn Hall’s enchantment?

On this week’s episode of KRP, we dug deep into the theory that the enchantment on Blackthorn Hall itself is compelling Julian and Emma to find the objects, which includes questioning Rupert’s legitimacy as a friendly ghost.

Here’s why we believe Rupert might be the ringmaster of the curse:

In Tatiana’s diary entry from the night she met Rupert, she mentions that he “snubbed” Gabriel (which she LOVED). This sets precedent that there’s a chance Rupert was similar in spirit/temperament to Tatiana.

Rupert tested Blackstairs when they first arrived. He wrote go away, tipped paints, etc. Once Emma read the diary and they had Ty’s ghost sensor, he leads them to the ouija board and then the Devil Tavern — he was testing their commitment and capabilities.

He’s pointing them toward objects, not his ring. If he was concerned about crossing over, he’d be leading them to his ring. (The ring is a sob story of sorts to distract Blackstairs from thinking of his involvement and to trust him.)

If Rupert loved Tatiana or was in cahoots with Benedict, it would make sense for him to want to stick around and see their evil plan unfold. Then he can worry about his ring and cross over, knowing he fulfilled his duty.

Look, we want to love Rupert. We’re big Blackthorn fans around here. BUT we’re starting to have A LOT of suspicions.

What do yinz think? Is Rupert Team Good or Team Evil?

Miscellaneous TSC Headcanons and Stuff

I keep starting lists and then getting distracted or busy so here is just a bunch of headcanons. 

Heline:

They are both coffee people and know exactly how the other likes their coffee. They will bring each other a cup when they are up late finishing paperwork or solving a problem at the institute.

The Blackthorn family is so mythology oriented I think that Helen definitely knows the constellations. I can see them laying on the roof of the LA institute on a warm summer night and Helen teaching Aline about the different constellations and the stories behind them.

Kierarktina:

Their cottage is always so clean and organized and always smells like nature and flowers. It isn’t magic, their home is just always nice and comforting and warm.

They always have music playing and have aesthetic fairycore/cottagecore playlists. The music is nice when they are just hanging out in the kitchen cooking on a nice sunny day with the windows open, of dancing under the full moon on a clear night. 

Sizzy:

Simon and Izzy go to cosplay and role play fairs a lot. they both love it and are always the best ones there because they actually know how to spar and the whole angelic runes thing. 

I don’t know if this is canon or not but I think they definitely play DND together and are extremely competitive about it. 

Thomastair (COI Spoilers):

Thomas always keeps apples in their apartment after they move in together.

I think they will adopt baby Carstairs and if they get to name them I think they will be named after some famous artist or actor because they both show interest in that stuff in Paris. 

Also, Alastair falling asleep holding a sleeping Baby Carstairs, Alastair singing to Baby Carstairs, and Alastair just absolutly loving Baby Carstairs. 

I’m going to post a whole list of Alastair and Baby Carstairs headcanons, I just need a couple days to write them lol. 

I also have 20 pages of this awful idea I had to do a sort of parody of The Critic as Artist by Oscar Wilde but it’s kind of Thomastair. It was like this magical rainbow hedgehog started talking while Alastair was home alone and they debated different ideas of the aesthetic movement and it is the worst thing I have ever written. That is the Thomastair fic I was teasing a while back but have no given up on  because I can’t even think about that fic anymore.

 I have an actual one that is outlined and combined with Malec that y’all will see in early June. 

Jordelia and Blackstairs:

This fic is called Rainy Days, it will be posted on May 17th and I’m serious about that deadline this time. It is basically Emma and Julian find some poems that James wrote Cordelia and it switches between Jordelia and Blackstairs oneshots and also has 4 poems. I really like this one and I hope you all will too. I’m finishing up some editing, if any of the moots want to read through it/ beta it/ give an opinion, that would be fantastic, just message me.

the beginning of lord of shadows is soooo underrated. picture this: youve been waiting to find out what happened after mark said ‘why lie?’ since you read lady midnight. you had to wait to read kit’s entire beginning sequence to find out. finally emma’s pov arrives and what’s going on? nothing to answer your questions, however, on the plus side, the whole squad is hanging out and patrolling tg like bros. then finally: some insight. mark wins emma a goldfish, she reveals a slight tad about how theyve been fake dating. but then, wait no, magnus the goldfish dies and, wait there’s more, a giant sea demon is attacking. emma and julian do an amazing job of killing it with the assistance of the ferris wheel and their awesome parabatai connection. oh and also, on the way up the ferris wheel emma almost ended it all and just started making out with julian but, and thanks to the giant squid for this one, emma got distracted by fighting the demon which ultimately saved blackstairs despite the pain! and then we go back to the institute and the actual whole whole squad is there, plus our tmi buddies and they all chit fucking chat! in conclusion, thank you beginning of los for being wonderful. if no one else, i love and appreciate you, above all else.

Congrats on 50 followers! 🎉🎉🎉 Can I please have ☕️ (Blackstairs), 🦄 (what are three things that you're good at?), ✍️ and 📚? Thanks 💛

Hey!!!!!! Thanks so much!!!!Ok for ☕️. What’s my opinion on Blackstairs? I personally think that they’re awesome, and Julian and Emma are amazing together. They’re not my OTP, but I totally ship them. They both look after each other, and obviously they are both in love, so yeah. I also personally just think Emma is the best, and I think Julian is incredible, so in my head they definitely deserve each other. (Ok looking back on this, it got really long. So I’m going to put the rest of it under a cut).

For 🦄. What are three things I’m good at?Ok I would probably say:1) I’m good at getting along with everyone, even people I don’t like. (Which is a useful skill to have at school age, because you have to deal with idiots all day, pretty much every day for most of the year. And if you punch them in the face… well that’s usually frowned upon).2) This kind of ties in with my first point but I’m using it anyway. I’ve made really good friends, who are a lot like me and are always there if I need them. Like… my friends are the best people in this entire world, and I would die for them. (Literally). They always go along with my stupid jokes, and will sit with me, fangirling over the new book that’s just been released, and they always understand when I come to school and I can’t say anything, but just make excessive hand waves, and squeal, and they instantly know what’s going on. So…. I’m going to cut this off now, before it becomes a rant about how amazing my friends are.3) I’m usually pretty good with judging other people’s emotions. As in, I usually know when someone wants to be left alone, or when they want to talk about something, when they just want someone to sit with them, or when they want a distraction of sorts. It’s not something that I guess I should be super happy about needing, but it is usually really useful, and it means there are often random kids from my year just coming over to me, and wanting some sort of comfort. So that’s nice, but it also can get exhausting sometimes. But I’m happy that people can trust me.

Ok, next up is 📚. Book recommendation. I would probably go for The Medoran Chronicles by Lynette Noni. It is a really good series, and all of the characters are amazing!!! (I am a tiny bit obsessed with them. Ok I literally have mini posters of them on my wall). Another thing that is pretty awesome about it, is the fact that Lynette Noni is an Australian author, so all of the spelling is the Australian, (well, technically English I guess) which was pretty awesome. But yeah, the characters are instantly loveable, and they are all unique and have their own strengths and weaknesses. Also, it has a badass, incredible female lead, and all of the relationships in the book are healthy, and are not just some instant romance, (which I personally don’t love. I usually like the characters to have at least spoken to each other before they are suddenly in love). And the plot is great, and really well thought out. So… yeah, that would be a great thing to read. (I apologise if you have already).

Alright, last thing was ✍️ for a handwritten note about everything I love about your blog. (I apologise in advance if my handwriting is really messy). I’m going to message it to you (because this is long enough as it is and I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to take and I don’t want you to think I’m ignoring your message. So… thank you so much for doing this!!!!!

erin’s AU writing challenge

Okay so, I’m on Spring Break (+ I hit 1.3k!!) and I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time, so I’m hosting an AU writing challenge! Don’t be afraid to participate! The list of rules and prompts are under the cut

Rules: 

- don’t have to be following me but this is meant to be a celebration for my followers so that sort of defeats the purpose??

- reblog this post to signal boost!

- send an ask with your chosen prompt and your character prompt (any marvel (even the guardians/defenders, but probably more the avengers because they’re more well known) or seb stan character, must be character x reader or ship x reader) (you can also choose a back up prompt in case)

- once a prompt has been claimed, it’s gone (first come first served) and if I don’t reply right away, then don’t panic because I’ll probably be sleeping or going out somewhere 

- you have to include the prompt in your fic, but how you incorporate it is up to you!

- please use the ‘keep reading’ feature!!

- it has to be an AU for marvel characters, so it can’t be set in the MCU (though it can have MCU characters). it doesn’t have to be an AU for seb stan characters. it can be a drabble, one-shot or multi-part, you choose

- no smut/explicit content, but implied/referenced smut is okay

- minimum of 500 words and maximum is unlimited!

- if there aren’t any prompts left and you want to join, then just pm me!

- use the tag #erinswritingchallenge and tag me in your fic (or all parts of your fic) so I can like and reblog them!

[dru-and-ash]

I loved Thule the moment we landed there but

Isabelle Lightwood being the last warrior standing aganist Sebastian & she stabbed him with Mortal Sword That's badass!!

(only for Seb to take it out like a needle just as he did to Emma' sword she sent to his heart when she was 12-I loved Em ever since that first scene and She Killed Thule Sebastian WTF Cassie had the world planned 10 years ahead)

Silent Brothers are a bunch of wild warriors I know Jem was all bored and stuff but They grabbed the sword and locked the entire Silent City before they all went down (claps)

Thule Tessa knowingly hurting Thule Jace in order to protect Julian and hurt in her eyes killed me (when Julian was distracted by Thule Emma came shouting over her Julian' body)

RAFAEL Freaking SANTIAGO he was the funniest of them all That's revolting LOL

Maia telling Emma not to feel sorry about her fallen friends Coz they brought hope <3

ONLY BLACK INK ON LIVVY' BODY BEING MOURNING RUNE had me cried.

She grew up to be such a Blackthorn

I also think Blackthorns there came from Tessa' line Proud on the way she talked with Livia -Are all of these people your people your people Livia Blackthorn?

-They are all my people (I melted here)

I loved how Ash helped Emma kill Sebastian coz He Liked What Emma Said About Clary (he is a gonna be a cinnamon roll :)

I think Annabel was bold to open a portal for Julian&Emma knowing he would kill her anyways but I cannot call her villain she was unstable Idk what to think about her

That scene Julian killed Annabel with Mortal Sword still soaking with Sebastian' blood then ripped the rag at his wrist soaked with his Livvy' blood and thrown it over Annabel' body WAS SO VISUAL I LOVED SEEING THAT!!

Though it felt weird how Seb couldn't afford a warlock to open it(he Concurred the world before warlock sickness)

And I don't remember Endarkaned as capable of loving(I remember one of them died burning alive in front of the council and he was still speaking Sebastian' words) so I am not sure what to feel about Thule Blackstairs

You guys, we ignored Thule and it bored a lot of us because we came there to read qoaad and Thule seemed like it was taking time away from that. But the more I look at our characters in Thule, the more I realize they were so perfect.

I mean Livvy was alive and she was so happy for Julian and Emma, it seemed like the most natural thing to her. We all know how much she would have shipped them.

Blackstairs were so into each other people barely remembered what they looked like.

It gave us the version of Cameron Ashdown we love so much

Julian went down trying to protect his family.

We got to see Livvy as she was meant to be, a fierce fearless leader.

Diana could be herself and did not have to hide her transition.

I’m so sure I’m missing many other things, feel free to add. I thought Thule was so boring but a major shoutout to @emmablackthxrn for the post on Thule Magnus and Alec that made me stop and think.

[titsthedamnseason]

thule!blackstairs headcanons?

yes yes!! okay i got lots of requests for these so i have a lot of options and for you i present: the au in which emma and julian were never endarkened

okay so they left ny just in time before the endarkened army arrived and were able to escape with all of the blackthorns

things went pretty much the same except this time instead of livvy taking charge it was jules and emma

they made their way to la but still had nowhere to go so they stayed in abandoned buildings and such

they still faced threats like demons just like livvy did in canon but with julian and emma they were a bit more equipped to fight them off

everyone survived in time to be saved by cameron and taken to rebel hq!!

dont yell at me for being unrealistic i love them all too much to kill them i want them to be happy

before getting rescued, though, julian and emma def def def used to like,,sneak into dark alleys and the like to make out and the poor blackthorn children are just like ‘is this really the time you guys smh we’re like five feet away from you’

they are firm believers of seizing the moment so they dont really care

when they get to the old hotel the blackthorns basically get their own hallway since there are so many of them

julian and emma take separate rooms first, at opposite ends so that the kids are in between them should anything happen but once they get older they just kind of converge to one room unofficially 

cameron and livvy start dating and julian is kind of pressed about it but he supposes he doesnt mind 

cameron tells julian he doesnt care if he approves of the relationship, it’s the apocalypse

julian is crushed and livvy reassures him that she cares what he thinks of the relationship

he’s a little more comforted

emma and cameron are bros

but i need to stay away from the subject of cameron bc i will never stop if i dont asdfgh 

anyway thule isnt really the most romantic place but julian and emma find small ways to make it better

like the wooden board that covers the window in their room, for example

julian loves repainting it to show different scenes, the stars, the paris skyline, a romantic dinner scene, small things that emma loves and will make her smile, like chocolate or cats and cute things like that

a lot of the time he’ll just paint it without emma knowing and she’ll come back to a surprise 

they also cant really take too many romantic strolls outside, but they try and make do by just aimlessly walking down the hallways for hours, sometimes on the roof if they feel like they can risk it 

they really really dont like patrolling without each other but make do for the sake of the resistance 

dru goes out on the same patrol she did in canon and never comes back

julian is heartbroken, he should have been with her, trained her better, not let her go on patrols at all

emma somehow manages to convince him that he couldnt have done anything about it and just as he begins healing and getting comfortable with his family patrolling again ty comes back with a broken leg

sweet ty keeps telling him it’s not that bad, it’s not julian’s fault, there’s no reason to worry

it takes julian a long time to recover but emma helps him a lot

i didnt mean for this to take such a depressing turn but here we are lets move on with an abrupt and awkward transition

they def have their own motorcycle that is primarily driven by emma 

it’s highkey the coolest thing ever and they love their motorcycle probably more than is healthy

one time julian let his hair grow to his shoulders and emma was at first grudgingly accepting but when they rode the motorcycle and his hair was blowing into her face she immediately insisted he cut it when they got home 

livvy was sad she couldnt style it anymore but everyone ultimately agreed julian’s usual hair was much better

there was one time that julian started acting kind of sketchy, disappearing a lot, going on more patrols, saying he had meetings with maia but emma would see maia eating in the dining hall with julian nowhere to be found, she would check the patrol schedule just to find that julian wasnt on it

she asked him about it a few times but he brushed it off, telling her it was nothing and then distracting her with a kiss

finally one day he’d left early in the morning with no explanation and emma had no more patience left for this

she passed raphael in the hallway, and he grudgingly informed her that julian had returned, there’s no need to infect everyone else with her bad mood

says you, she retorted as she ran down the hallway in the direction of her and julian’s room

when she slammed open the door(can you slam a door open?? idk but if youre emma carstairs you can), fully ready to tell julian off and finally get answers, she was stunned speechless because there was julian, standing in the middle of the room, holding a basket full of chocolate

she might have cried

as she began eating he told her how he’d been searching high and low for any scraps of chocolate, even sneaking into some of sebastian’s known hang outs to acquire some

emma lightly slapped him on the arm for taking such a big risk but it didnt have much weight behind it since she was clearly enjoying the surprise 

julian warned her to hide it, that no one knew he had gotten the chocolate, only that he’d been planning a surprise, and he suspected if anyone discovered chocolate was in their headquarters there would be a war for it

emma felt guilty and almost wanted to share but not really

she did give a little to each of the blackthorns, claiming that was all they had but the kids were over the moon at the pieces they got

‘im a terrible person’ said emma after all the blackthorns save julian had left the room

‘yeah’ julian agreed, and kissed her
