Happy New Year ✨✨✨

It’s almost 2023, so let’s celebrate the good things that happened to us in 2022! List ten amazing things that happened to you this year and then send this to ten people who brighten your day!

thank you for the ask this is such a lovely idea and way to show gratitude!

1. I got closer with my friends and made new ones!! Both people here on tumblr and my real friends at college and I’m very thankful for that <3

2. I got to travel a lot and see new places! Traveling is one of my favorite hobby and I was so glad to see so much of the world this year. (tsc related i got to see rome <3 for malec)

3. despite struggling with my mental health i took a LOT of classes and kinda kicked ass in (some of) them yay education

4. I learned more about myself, my values and what I want from my life and I’m excited about that!

5. This is so dumb but watching my tv shows!!! I started watching greys in October, had 911 and 911 lone star throughout the year and shadowhunters is always my show before bed so i can see my good friends the tmi gang <3 in 2023 im going to tally how many times i watch shadowhunters 1x12

6. I got to read a LOT of fanfiction!!! specifically works of @khaleesiofalicante (i love you Dani!!) but fanfiction in itself is so so cool because it gives existing characters a whole new realm and it’s awesome and it’s my coping mechanism.

7. I became even closer to achieving my dreams. Not to be cheesy but i am applying for a Dream internship very very very soon and everything i did this year career wise was really amazing and helped me grow!

8. i think i did a good amount to get out of my comfort zone! even tho it was so scary it did help me grow as well and my 2021 self would NEVER believe what I’ve accomplished!!

9. I realized my worth and have come into myself more! I think knowing yourself is really important and I think I’ve done a good job at establishing who I am (this is similar to #4 but I’m proud of myself) I feel like you can even see this on my blog a bit because I’m not JUST tsc anymore I talk about my life sometimes

10. SOBH!!!!! sobh was one of the highlights of my 2021 and 2022 year and im so thankful for the laughter and the tears it gave me and how much I looked forward to Mondays because of it (and 911!)

here’s to 2023 yay tumblr!!

I do hope Thomas and Alastair know that being cock-blocked by Magnus Bane is the highest of honours and every couple’s dream. 

[khaleesiofalicante]

I’m just saying, not everyone can pull it off 😌

[khaleesiofalicante]

Dani!! I haven’t been on your page for so long, I was an annie during your rereading era 😋 Are you still up to date on all the TSC books? I need your opinion on all the new lore and releases that are coming in the next like 5 years 😭 (prepping to be geriatric by the time clace get married)

Omg i miss rereading those books. it was a RIDE.

I've read all of it except for chain of thorns (i didn't finish it lol) but I am very excited for TWP (im gonna be well into my 30s when that shit finishes istg)

[khaleesiofalicante]

We see you, Tom, we see you.

This is so well written and so true in real life. 

The inability of victims and survivors to use the proper terminology after an event of abuse or assault and referring it to as ‘incidents’ or ‘what happened’ or ‘what they did’ is so accurately captured here, while also reminding us that James was in fact very much a victim.

“He felt his stomach swoop inside him like a bird diving for a fish. (Then he wished he’d come up with a better mental analogy, but one either had a poetic turn of mind, like James, or one didn’t.)”

- Thomas Lightwood, Chain of Thorns

“Alec knew he ought to say something like, of course, because I'm a Shadowhunter and that's what we do, or that's my job. Jace would have said something like that. Jace always knew the right thing to say. But the words that actually came out of Alec's mouth were quite different and sounded petulant, even to his own ears.”

- Alec Lightwood, City of Glass

76 pages into Chain of Thorns and still no Alastair pov
