#gabriel herondale

[bankofwildflowers]

Will Herondale, having to be cruel against his very nature every single day to everyone, terrified of Jem leaving, crying himself to sleep since learning of Jem and Tessa's engagement (every time Tessa sees him it is mentioned he is red-eyed), walking around London endlessly to outrun his own thoughts, unable to let anyone know. James Carstairs, dying and terrified it will break Will, growing weaker and hating himself for it, killing himself for fear of letting Tessa know her love isn't sustaining his life, unable to let anyone know. Tessa Gray, beaten and slapped, exhausted to tears in a prison, terrified for her brother and if he's dead, loving two people equally and having to hide it from both, unable to let anyone know. Gideon Lightwood, walking away from his family, hoping to be a better man that his little brother can look up to, wanting to save him from their childhood, in love with a woman that does not seem to want him, unable to let anyone know. Gabriel Lightwood, alone in a house with his father going mad, heartbroken at his brother leaving him, trapped by the Consul's blackmail, unable to let anyone know. Cecily Herondale, losing both her siblings in a matter of days, growing up alone and having to learn to repair the cracks left behind by her brother leaving, being angry at him for not thinking their family was worth it, unable to let anyone know. Sophie Collins, only a servant, her only wish to be a Shadowhunter being one which can never come true because she has a debt to repay, in love with a man with whom it can never work out, unable to let anyone know. Charlotte Branwell, her only desire to influence and help and protect being mocked and crushed by men, in love with a man that looks at her as a friend, unable to let anyone know. Henry Branwell, knowing things work different than what he's been taught, knowing he is right but cannot possibly explain and will always be laughed at as insane, in love with a woman that married him for convenience, unable to let anyone know.

The Infernal Devices understood loneliness like no other book I've read, the bone deep sense of being utterly alone even when surrounded by people.

I just want to know what happened between the Merry Thieves Generation to the Circle's generation to make them the way that they are. Like, how did these families go from being so respectful and kind to downworlders to their direct descendants forming a downworlder hate group that almost destroyed the Shadowhunting world. Like, was the Circle's generation just on something or was this a horrible, gradual shift that made these families unrecognizable to what they once were?

Someone tell Cassandra Clare to stop killing everyone's parents like Clary, Jace, Isabelle, Alec, Jem, Jessamie, Cordelia, Alastair, Zachary, Gideon, Gabriel, Tatiana, Jesse, Grace, Emma, Julian, Ty, Livvy, Dru, Tavvy, Helen, Mark, Kit, Ariadne and Magnus literally all grew up missing at least one parent

[mayaheronthorn]

All this yapping just for him to marry Will's carbon copy 💀💀💀

[illustratinghan]

cecily took gabriel back to her family home in wales where they watched the sun set beneath the rolling hills together 🌅

[hronstairs]

and that's how TID became my favorite trilogy

[spacehero-23]

my biggest issue with chain of thorns is that we're told about some big/emotional events but we don't get to see them...

oh! will and tessa cried when they found out their kids were trapped in london! right after finding out their nephew died. but you won't get to read this scene

gabriel and cecily's son died! and they found out when his body was brought to them! but you won't get to read that scene!

will and tessa found out about the gracelet and were upset. but you won't get to read that.

charles confronted bridgestock and came out to the entire enclave in a very brave and dramatic way! but you won't get to read that!

like??? we had to suffer through 300 pages of a bullshit love triangle (i refuse to believe people honestly thought herondaisy won't be canon) but we couldn't get some genuinely important moments???

[witchlingcirce]

Gabriel needed to be more serious abt his beef with Will cuz if someone embarrassed me after I tried to defend my sister it’s serious. Like not kidding I would find a way to make his day 10 times worse

[cortanas-wielder]

Cassandra Clare, the commidic genius that you are

[marrr444]

WAIT WAIT WAIT

Alec Gideon Lightwood was named after Gideon, we all know that

BUT where did "Alec" come from???

FROM ALEXANDER, Cecily and Gabriel's younger son (the one Tatiana took in the ball in CoT) Anna and Christopher Lightwoods' BROTHER

(Who continued the Lightwood bloodline and is the reason Alec and Izzy exist)

[edwinspaynes]

As a Certified Will Herondale fan, I can tell you with the utmost certainty and clarity that Sophie could have and should have been way, way, way ruder to him actually

[the-best-of-the-myrmidona]

hear me out

Anna and Izzy would get along so well.

Gabriel and Alex would absolutely adore each other

Gideon and Robert might hit it off.

Cecily would box Stephen around the ears

So would James and Cordelia

Will would teach Jace the Demon Pox Song

They would feed the ducks in Central Park poultry pies too

Kit would also be there

Jesse would be surprised that ty is the only one with blackthorn hair while everyone else looks like Lucie.

Gabriel would be deathly afraid of Max

And Rafael

Any more?

TID as pictures I found on Pinterest; part 5 (?)

The Silent Brothers showing up at battles:

Everyone in the London Institute @ The Consul when he not just ignores everything Charlotte says but actively bans Shadowhunters from going to help fight Mortmain:

Jessamine @ everyone who cares about her:

Will when Tessa’s been kidnapped and Jem just died:

Fairwell:

Jem, with his violin:

Jessamine, when someone tries to tell her Nate is not the perfect hubby material and the love of her life who only wants the best for her:

All of the TID cast because they’re all under, like, 22 years old and basically children:

Henry and Magnus:

Will @ Gabriel and Cecily:

Church and Jem:

Will’s last two brain cells making a plan, already well into an action that requires a plan:

That Angel in Tessa’s necklace hanging out for eighteen-ish years:

Magnus walking into Henry’s crypt:

Henry because the whole of shadowhunter society really just makes fun of him for fun:

Sophie, when Gideon and Gabriel start talking shit during training:

Will, finding out Tessa is engaged to Jem:

[queen-aelin-of-terrasen]

Gabriel: Cecily, I can’t seem to think of—

Cecily: where you placed your brain?

Gabriel:

Cecily: that’s probably why you can’t seem to think
