The Bane Chronicles is a whole new level of insane

I'm reading the Bane Chronicles right now, and I have to say, it's a whole new level of insane, even for MAGNUS BANE. Most of it is alright... Like the story of how he rescued Marie Antionette or how he got banned from Peru. The story that made me think WTF just happened though, was in fact, a story that seems completely out of the timeline entirely.

The Midnight Heir.

It's during TLH era, which is strange in itself, as besides the three Malec stories, it's the only one to be a part of the main storyline. The rest are literally Magnus Bane being Magnus Bane and occasionally engaging with an interesting person, like Edmund Herondale or Camille Belcourt.

But The Midnight Heir...

basically, Magnus finds James in a bar (I think) and he's doing all these stupid bets, and has no concern for his well-being, and then Magnus has had enough, and knocks him unconscious to take him back to the institute. It has none of the lighthearted tune of the rest of the stories, albeit there was a funny part when Will finds out about James saying "Ducks, embrace me as your king" and promptly saying he's lost everything he's been taught. Magnus then goes to see Tatiana Blackthorn, where she asks Magnus to kill five shadowhunters. He refuses to do so, and then Grace says something incoherent about being 'Her mother's Blade' and 'a blade doesn't care who it hurts'.

And this event is NEVER mentioned again. Not in any of TLH. Not by Will or Tessa. And such a monumental event should be mentioned again... right? Like, for a solid 7 pages, James is acting the way Matthew does and it's never mentioned???? AND none of the other Merry Thieves are there???? WHAT HAPPENED???? I NEED MORE CONTEXT!!!

I think Shadowhunters is very fun but I'll never forgive them for making clace so tragic for no reason

Imagine if the tipping point for Ty is Livvy possessing Kit

Like, he's right on the precipice between the spiritual world and living one and Livvy hasn't been right for months. We've already seen an example of that in GotSM. There are times when she's just. . . less. Less joyful, less steadfast, less humane. Ty lets it go, because her unbalance really only affects him, as he's the anchor keeping her connected to the living world

Kit despises it, because Livvy's frail state hurts Ty, which by extension hurts him because he's in utter fucking love with that man

One day, Livvy has A Moment and, well, Kit is right there. Considering he's been so many people - a Rook, a Herondale, a Carstairs-Gray - he's already got a fairly mercurial soul; not to mention his energy is quite the stabilizing factor for ghosts. It's really not that hard for her to just push him out, like she almost did to Mina. Even better, Kit would let her. If it helps her, it helps Ty, and Kit would do anything for Ty

But Ty would do anything for Kit and Livvy so he's the one who has to make a choice. A life with Livvy means a life without Kit; a life with Kit, however, is also a life with Livvy because he would never force Ty to forget her and he'd honor her memory as much as Ty. Livvy may be his past, but Kit's his future

So Livvy's ghost has to go

(this realization doesn't make forcing her out any easier but Ty - finally, inevitably - lets Livvy's spirit pass on, 3 years after she died the first time)

You know what's going to be beautiful in TWP? The way Ty will probably remind Tessa and Jem of:

Art in order: Gabriella Bujdoso and @cassandrajean

Jesse with his looks

Art in order: @lariablog, @aliceduke, and @rinadragomir (colorizing of last art)

Grace with her determination to raise her dead sibling that she loved more than anyone else in this world and Lucie, his ancestor, who also found herself entangled with necromancy and saving the world.

Art: @cassandrajean

Henry and Christopher for his affinity with inventing new things for the Shadowhunting world

Art: @cassandrajean

And even themselves for how he has fallen in love with a Herondale ♥️

All in all, I think TWP is going to be the biggest blast from the past for Tessa and Jem with James' gun, princes of hell showing up, and just so many characters that remind them of people that they used to love so much. I think Ty will be one character that will continually bring back so many memories just because of how many things his story shares with people they once knew in a past life.

Little Jem and Will💔🥹

do you think that when kit first moved to devon with tessa and jem, he kept on breathing in the smell of the jacket he got from the blackthorns because the scent of ty and l.a. still lingered on it? but after a while the scent goes away and kit feels like a part of him is breaking bit by bit whenever he looks at it? but he carries on wearing it bc it’s the only thing connecting him to the person he loves 💔

i was minding my business working on an essay and i suddenly remembered that will is never going to hold mina in his arms or play with her, he’ll never be present in her life like jem (as brother zachariah) was with james and lucie. he would’ve loved mina so much. and jem and tessa will live the rest of their lives without will ever being there again. will’s random demon pox singing, his hilarious poetry, they’ll only ever be a memory. will herondale will never live with a healthy jem carstairs. i’m shattered

Jace felt his heart racing. He didn't care what happened to him, but Clary was a different story. He would forsake everything for this girl. Having practice with Izzy and not knowing her reaction here, he worried about helping her to the bench by touch. He was always calm. Always joking. Yet, that didn't mean he was already dying at the same time. Saw you in my head. So there was hope. Like when Magnus had first messed with her mind. "Clary.." he whispered. The sight revelation again. Did he shows his stele? Try to help her? He didn't know. Wanted to scream or throw something. "You should sit. Your brow is furrowed..." like it usually is when you are in pain or devastated. But he couldn't say that. "I don't know all of it. Trust me. But we know each other."

She had thought him crazy in the beginning. Maybe that wouldn't affect the trajectory of their future, Jace just had to try. Ya fantasy novels. She had seemed to like those. And the life of a shadowhunter could somewhat fit those tropes. He felt heartbroken with her yet so close so far. His golden eyes had been steadfast and searching for even a flicker in that beautiful face of hers. The herondale boy had grown up with Alec and Isabelle and Max. But he didn't know anyone or pay attention to anyone as much as Clary Fray. How could anyone lead with such shrewd kindness like her? There was bravery in her though it didn't cut. It was still soft. It was still powerful. Love bloomed in his very veins. She could choose if she wanted him, but he would fight and die for her either way. His flirtatious exterior hadn't dropped. "I am a ... sarcastic person." that was another understatement. "I don't know. There are a lot of nicknames for good people. On of the best women I knew had that as a nickname. Besides, your powerful and- not short." he knew better than that. But her next reaction had him reaching out. "Clary, are you okay?" his voice grieved. "Do you need to sit down?"

I’m working my way through all of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter books, the ones I’ve read before and the ones I haven’t, and I’m down to the final stories in Ghosts of the Shadow Market and the Last Hours series. It’s struck me how Will Herondale, human, who lived and died so long ago, is such a persevering thread. He’s never gone from Tessa or Jem’s thoughts so he’s never gone from our pages. He isn’t The Main Character (that’s Tessa) even if he acts like he is on occasion. He is the husband, the father and parabatai of the character who is telling the story. He is always there - strong, dependable, honourable - yet he is not. He is gone. He is gone because he is human. All we have are memories. And yet. Those memories are so vivid that every time his death is mentioned (as logical as it is, how peaceful his death was) it makes me tear up. It makes me think of Magnus Bane and his son decades down the line once Alec is gone. Alec and Isabelle and Clary and Jace and all of their children, until it’s just Magnus, Max and Lily Chen. Until there is no one alive that knows them. That’s Jem and Tessa now. Their story, their love for Will (and James and Lucie and Cecily and Charlotte and Sophie and Gideon and Henry and Gabriel and all their children) is the same as Alec and Magnus. It’s going to play out the same way again. Tessa and Jem’s child will be part of the same fate. To love over and over again because you have no other choice when you lose people over and over again, but you can’t not love. You have to love.
