#dru and ty love this

[ofstarsandmoonlightt]

Yk what I want for twp? Kit and Ash to have this reluctant siblings dynamic. Lol it’d be so fun, in the beginning they could kinda be untrusting of each other but then they’d have to work together and then they fight like siblings all the time but gradually grow to support each other and all hehe

I love how Ty is a model student at the Scholomance who helps the teachers plan new courses for other students whilst Dru is getting pulled into the headmaster’s office every other day at the Shadowhunter Academy 😭💗 No one does it quite like the Blackthorns

[margareturtle]

Andrew Blackthorn was a pretty shit father

But I gotta give him some credit

For the fact that he had seven children

And didn’t name one of them Jonathan 👏

Rumor has it 1 in every 5 shadowhunters is named Jonathan

Andrew & Eleanor are rly out here beating the odds

Ya know who I know did think about the Roman Empire everday

Andrew Blackthorn

And bro wanted everyone to know it too

Thus his children’s names 😭

kinda crazy to think that we have years worth of baggage for kitty going into twp but know nothing about what couples will be among the secondary characters. CC could throw literally anything at us atp because even Jaime (who she called a mc before) has crickets rn like I know he's supposed to be Dru's love interest but it's that's looking very one sided lmao

hey so i actually need more sizzy content !

[d4rkshad0w]

hoping that tlkof is 500 plus pages like cassie’s last two series. and i hope the tlpoh is also 500+ pages and i hope tls is 800+ pages so its like qoaad and chot

[garvalhaminho]

the wicked powers gang as animals bc i'm going crazy:

dru - hers was actually the hardest one. i'd argue she is a chameleon. taking most of this from her storyline in qooad, she was constantly observing, trying to fit in and help, and has always done that. this time it was harder, as her life changed rapidly from her brother and sister returning, to losing a sister, to - metaphorically speaking - losing two of her brothers bc of their grief. remember how hard she tried to connect w ty after livvy's death?

kit - hmm a raven. they can be seen as both an omen for death and as an omen for rebirth. kit is the descendant of the first heir line, he is hunted and death follows him wherever he goes. but then he lived w the blackthorns for a while, getting to know a new world as he found out who he truly was, and now lives w his new family, people who accept him (am i making sense?)

ty - badger. a badger is known for its persistence and determination, but, in medieval european folklore, they were associated w witchcraft and seen as cunning

livvy - heliconius melpomene aka postman butterfly. not really for what it represents but for its name - the butterfly was named after the muse melpomene of greek mythology. melpomene is one of many siblings, and is the muse of tragedy. iconographer cesare ripa described her, saying "the grave aspect and heroic dress denote that tragedy is a representation of famous deeds and of history". as a bonus, in 1852, a man named a minor planet "18 melpomene" bc it was found the day his daughter passed.

ash - now THIS one is a black cat. hear me out: seen as bad omens and companions of witches, sometimes partaking in depictions of the fall of adam and eve. but in the end it's just a cat clinging to what it knows and what has first loved it yk?? and it's also, like all cats, known for their cuteness, for lack of a better word, drawing in strangers, and i think that can encapsolate ash as we know him

True, Kit thought to himself. I’m definitely not telling Drusilla about a plan that I hope falls apart before it even comes to fruition.

He sat up. “No - no, definitely not. It would be dangerous for her to know anything about - about that. All we need to tell her is that we’re trying to get back on good terms with the Shadow Market.”

Ty’s gaze slid away from Kit. “You really like Drusilla.”

I’m rereading Queen of Air and Darkness and this is why I desperately need a whole book where we just get Ty’s pov of the different scenes. Was he excited about going on this new quest with his crush Kit and then deflated when he realized that Kit might like Dru? I would just kill to know what he was thinking in this scene. He already saw Livvy and Kit sharing a kiss so this probably solidified the idea that his feelings for Kit were unrequited. Which breaks my heart into a million tiny pieces, honestly.

I just can’t wait to see Ty tell his side of the story, how everything played out in his mind when TWP comes around.

(Also, this art is so gorgeous and I just want to give a huge shout out to Elisial the artist. I know they’ll probably never see this but it’s some of the best fanart I’ve ever seen!)

Dru: You know there's a rumor going around?

Ty: What, that we're gay for each other?

Kit: No,see, I'm straight (yeah, right) but like, if there was a man that I would marry, it would be Ty

Dru: How do you feel about that, Ty?

Ty: ... It's not helping with the rumors

Dru: I think the kiss you guys shared on my birthday isn't helping with the rumors

Atp I‘m collecting the TWP flowercards the way Ty‘s collecting Herondale jewelry . . . .

(without shame and with full commitment)

Is it called 'heartbreak' or just 'Livvy my baby, please sweetheart, open your eyes, it's Jules, I'm here for you, I'm always here for you, please,please -'

[wikitpowers]

seeing this printed is so bloody funny😭

[witchlingcirce]

I have a very particular head canon that all the blackthorns are tall, they all just give tall energy. I should also quickly note this is mostly based on like, how tall they’ll be once they stop growing 😭😭

Helen: Idk how her height is described in the books but she has always seemed tall to me, like around 5’10 AT LEAST.

Julian: IK Cassie has some bias against making any of the guys in her book above 5:11 (shout out James, Shout out Thomas u made it out of the trenches) But I imagine Julian being 6’2 6’3… something about him….

Mark: Falling back onto Cassie’s curse I can see him being a reasonable 5’10-6’. He’s meant to be around the same height as Julian IK that but idk… he gives 5’10 energy, him and Simon need to unite as 5’10 bros

Livvy: okay I don’t really imagine as THAT tall, I can see 5’7, I feel like that’s tall but not tooooo tall. She gives off 5’7 vibes.

Ty: he has to be freakishly tall like Jules, he gives off tall and lanky vibes. He’s defffff 6’ and above!!!

Dru: She has to be somewhere between 5’7-5’9. She’s always described as tall, so personally I can imagine her being tall.

Emma: I saw someone do some weird maths calculations about the respective heights of the TDA characters, and they said Emma would have been 5’6 which honestly is what I see. I can also see 5’7, I feel like she wouldn’t be short but I don’t imagine her being very tall!!!

BTW this is fun and probably doesn’t correlate with canon, but I just imagine there all tall freaks and they tower over everyone !!!

Thinking about the Blackthorn Siblings as one does

No but really

Just thinking about the Blackthorn sisters and how Helen is to Dru as Julian is to Tavvy.

Let me explain:

1) Same age difference (about 10 yrs between Julian+Tavvy, about 10 yrs between Helen+Dru)

2) Tavvy is Julian’s baby, just like I think Dru was Helens’. We know Helen was parentified at a young age as well. Dru was the baby of the family for almost 6 yrs till Tavvy was born. Of course for a while Eleanor was still alive, but being the oldest Helen still would’ve stepped up especially as Eleanor was getting sicker in the years before Tavvy was born and she died. (Although now that I’m thinking about it Mama Blackthorn couldn’t have been that sick if she was still able to have a full pregnancy with Tavvy right (?!)) (And who knows what Andrew was doing but not being a super present father and running the institute ig— tho his teen son was able to do both smh)

3) but anyways yes Helen and Dru. Helen was Dru’s go to for stories and comfort when she was little. Oftentimes little Dru wouldn’t be able to keep up when the twins + Jules+Emma went exploring, but she would stay back with Helen.

4) in addition Julian and Helen are both the main (or one of the main for helen’s case) parents in Tavvy + Dru’s lives during the same time in both their lives. Dru and Tavvy were both about 2-7/8 and Helen and Julian were both 12-17/18.

5) Which is what makes Helen’s exile and return and Dru’s reaction to it (though understandable) more tragic. Bc Dru was Helen’s baby, and at one point Helen was Dru’s main person. But now Helen is back, and while being Dru’s older sister/parent was such a big part of Helen’s identity for so long and she remembers it well, Dru’s memories of Helen are now more distant childhood memories :((

This parallels Julian + Tavvy’s relationship a bit as well (though they are not as extreme bc ofc Julian will check in often and come back to stay in LA a lot) but Julian will no longer be Tavvy’s main parent. And in time although being Tavvy’s parent was such a big part of Julian’s identity it will be more distant childhood memories for tavvy :((

6) the parallels!! Like how Dru is said to be the one who looks most like their mother but Dru barely knew her while Helen was the closest to their mom. (We learn most that we do about Eleanor from Helen’s pov) So Helen (+Emma) are the closest to maternal figures that Dru has ever gotten.

Similarly Julian is always compared to looking like Andrew, and he had to kill his own father (most of what we learn about Andrew as a parent is from Julian). But Tavvy doesn’t remember Andrew, and Julian is the best father figure he could have.

7. Finally, the way Julian + Helen switch off in their little siblings lives. Helen was one of Dru’s main parents till she was about 7/8, then Helen is exiled and Julian is Dru’s main parent from 8-13 (close to when Dru is ready to go to the academy). Where as Tavvy is the exact opposite since Julian was his main parent till he was about 7/8 and then Helen is taking over as Tavvy’s main parent from when Tavvy is 8 till presumably when he follows in Dru’s footsteps and goes to the Academy (15ish—till he’s sent back to LA bc of the pandemic lmao)

So Dru + Tavvy had the same parents just 6 yrs apart

The Blackthorn siblings as divided by who their parents were:

Helen + Mark: Eleanor + Andrew (+nerissa when they were babies but don’t rly remember)

Julian: 10 yrs Eleanor + Andrew, 2 yrs Helen + Mark + then himself :(

Livvy + Ty: 1/2 Eleanor + Andrew, 1/2 Helen + Julian

Dru + Tavvy: Helen + Julian

[steamworksfairy]

I was rereading sobh because I remembered we had some letters written by Ty. Which, like the gold it was, I had to reread so I could get a better understanding on his voice.

And of course I ended up reading more than I intended. Specifically, I read Emma catching Ty speak to Livvy's ghost (tho she didn't know it was Livvy). And now I can't help but think that everyone is going to think Ty is secretly dating someone when he's really not. Like maybe Kit having a secret girlfriend was a clue to the drama of Kit thinking Ty has a girlfriend or boyfriend.

Just imagine that within the first two or three chapters of The Last King of Faerie Kit hears Emma or Julian mention this and freaks out. And because he's bad at communicating (Dru said it, not me) during the whole book, Kit is angsting over Ty being in a relationship. (Except he isn't. It's all a big misunderstanding. Which seems to be the theme of KitTy tbh 🤔)
