ATTENTION TSC FANS

I am feeling silly so if you actually rblg this post with the outfit you're wearing rn with your favorite character I will draw them wearing it. (This is my excuse to draw more silly tsc content while i get out of art block, plus hopefully I get to draw some really out of character stuff, that would be funny af.)

just finished my tmi reread and I find it funny how Brother Zachariah (Jem) just… steals the cat. You could say that it’s rightfully his cat and it hates everyone else, but there’s something inherently funny about it.

[fatiguedcoffee]

Clary asked brother Zachariah aka Jem if he’s ever been in love or if there’s anyone he would have died for and he responds: “two people.”

and that left me speechless. I actually stopped and stared at the page pondering on it for a while. the simplicity and directness of that response. there’s so much contained in that single very short sentence.

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.

you ever think about how ending of tid is so bitter-sweet because Jem is forced to take a step away from the two people he loves most and watch their lives on the sidelines. and how 130 years later he gets saved by someone who would have never existed if they all had not loved each other so so much, and could never have saved Jem if people hadn't loved him just as much. no adaptation will ever be able to capture this btw.

Has anyone else thought about Jem's reports to the Silent Brothers at the end of his days like "Visit 1,132 to London Institute: William Herondale smashed his finger in the door and needed me specifically to kiss it better." And they're like "Brother Zachariah please"

BREAKING NEWS: The Shadowhunters Chronicles (2007 - 2029) just received a 55 minute standing ovation from me in my living room after rereading it for the 200th time

[garvalhaminho]

i'm bored here's every shadowhunter completed series summarised:

tid: girl falls for two british men. understandingly, she is in the trenches

tlh: girl marries boy weirdly emotionally attached to side piece's jewelry.

tmi: girl's abusive estranged father is in town. and her brother wants to fuck her. no wait both her brothers. no wait—

tda: reenactment of dress by taylor swift but it is a 17yo father of four and a girl w a sword

[hronstairs]

it’s always about them.
