#herondale poetry

Me and Kit when Ty casually dropped the iconic line “You may not yourself be luminous, but you are an extraordinary conductor of light.“ in QoAaD

“Sometimes, when I have to do something I don't want to do, I pretend I'm a character from a book. It's easier to know what they would do.”

“YOU MADE YOURSELF A DIFFERENT PERSON THAN THE ONE I LOVED”

i’m convinced ty will just spend the entirety of twp wondering what kit’s hair feels like and the moment he finds out my boy will lose his shit

Quotes that remind me of them : Herondales

Shadowhunters : "We are a generation of sleepy lovers, big hearted rebels, tired fighters, we are a generation worn out but unwilling to back down."

Jace Herondale : "It is absurd to divide people into good or bad. People are either charming or tedious."

Kit Herondale : "I don't have a train of thoughts, I have seven trains on 4 tracks that narrowly avoid each other when the paths cross and all the conductors are screaming."

Lucie Herondale : "Let me make you immortal with words, let me pluck your soul form your body and turn it into ink and capture your essence in my, our, art. "

James Herondale : "Sorry, wasn't able to hear your over my eternal yearning and melancholic dreaming. "

Will Herondale : "Love. The reason I dislike that word is that it means too much to me, far more than you can understand."

I hate it when men have the audacity to be fictional

Sunshine in your smile

A Heronchild poem written from James' point of view.

-> for the @yearoftheotpevent May prompt ‘Sunshine’

-> read below or on AO3

Sunshine in your smile hair like gold so bright To be under your gaze is to be touched by rays of warmth and light I know that I‘d presume in pride, for all you are so fair and fleeting as the hours of day to ever think you mine Too often now I find myself the devils own device, in shadows wreathed on blackened shores and under starless skies But always it is you who finds me in my night The one whose touch does still cut through to pull me back into the light Yet as of late it seems your shine is clouded, your gemstone eyes in grief so deep are shrouded I know you fear to burn too hot if looked upon to blind I care not whom you think you wronged or what you seek to hide: You cannot parch my skin nor scorch my eyes To cancel out the light within will ever be enough no darkness and no sin

Oh no! Look at the time! It's time to stare at Kit and Ty's updated flower cards and cry over how much they love each other (but haven't known it hahahaha)!!!

Chain of Thorns got me

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP

PUNCH ME IN THE FACE

[laylaslibrary]

Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee - for whither thou goest, I will go.

-Cassandra Clare

[poetrylovebitch]

To grieve a living person is an unnatural pain.

So of course we all know and love the beauty mark BUT I am here to spread the gospel of Kit's freckles which are in a lot of the sobh art and also on his flower card and they just make me very emotional because like, my boy was kept indoors in a basement only going outside at night for so much of his life and now he's able to be outside in the sun enough to get lil freckles on his face and 😭😭😭😭😭😭

OH NO FEAR NOT I AM AN ENTHUSIAST OF KIT HERONDALE’S FRECKLES, THERE IS A REASON HE HAS THEM IN MY PFP BC I JUST FALL APART WHEN I LOOK AT THEM THEY’RE ADORABLE

BUT OH MY GOD NO THE COMMENT ABOUT HIM BEING OUTSIDE ENOUGH TO EVEN GET FRECKLES MADE ME SO :(( WHY ARE U DOING THIS TO ME AM I NOT SAD ENOUGH :((

i just know that tessa and jem take him out on daily walks with mina and have quality family time so our boy can get his cute little freckles and yeah i just want to cry basically thank u for this

Kit Herondale

"I wanted to write about leaving. About leaving him. About leaving pain behind. I wanted to characterize it as an act of bravery; as an act of freedom. The writer in me wanted to turn it into something beautiful. But the truth is it wasn't beautiful. It was just leaving, it was just leaving. It was just walking away with a throat ful of pebbles and trying not to choke."

- Sue Zhao
