Ok so I need to know: Are Kit and Ty together??? Because Im not sure if its a completely fanmade shipping, if they just havent found each other but are in love with each other or if they are canon together

I hope you're not planning on reading tda, cause the whole answer is gonna be spoilers, or more like, everything thats happened with them, so yeah same thing.

Okay so, it's not a fan made ship but also they aren’t together yet. 

So this got long and you probably didn't want this long of an answer but I can't stop when it's KitTy.

They both are introduced in the first book itself, but Kit doesn't have a main role until the second book. Ty Blackthorn, who is Julian's (main character of tda) brother, is totally interested in solving mysteries and crimes (he's a fan of Sherlock Holmes!) but nothing that major happens in LA. 

[Bit of a backstory, Blackthorns are 7 siblings because I can't remember if you've read tmi, Helen and Mark are half siblings to the rest and they are part faerie but due to a war where faeries betrayed the shadowhunters, Helen was exiled and Mark was kidnapped even before the war, so the shadowhunter government just decided to not search for him. So any contact from faeries has now been cut off and Julian (who was 12 yrs old) has to take care of all his siblings.]

So in Lady Midnight, when an offer comes from faerie to give Mark back in exchange for finding a serial killer, they all take it up. And Ty who is a Sherlock Holmes fan is all intent on trying to help in finding the killer. N Kit’s father is a shady guy who apparently knows lots of things so when Emma and Julian go to Kit’s dad to try find some info, Ty sneaks into the basement where Kit is hiding while his father is doing business. Now for the only scene of KitTy in Lady Midnight, Ty puts a knife to Kit’s neck and Kit’s first thought at looking at this all happen is “How beautiful”. I think many of us started shipping them together since that one scene. So after that, stuff happens and Kit finds out, by the end of book 1 that he is a shadowhunter, (n he loathes shadowhunters ) Lost Herondale who everyone (except for couple of people who found him) thought that that branch of Herondale family is dead. 

So, here’s Kit, he just saw his father die in front of him, found out that he is a shadowhunter, people who he dislikes a lot, and all alone in an Institute with strangers. He locks himself inside a room. N Ty sits on the other side of the door so that Kit doesn't feel alone.

After a while, when Kit starts to come out of his room, Ty asks him to become his Watson. Kit doesn't say anything to that but that's one of my favourite parts. So they all (Ty, Livvy n Kit) go on little missions together. Now there's this one part when Livvy gets severely injured and Ty feels guilty because Livvy asked him to be parabatai with her many times but he always refused because the place where he wanted to study, there you can't have a parabatai. N rn when Livvy is injured, he feels guilty bc Livvy would have healed sooner if she had a parabatai. So then, Kit n Ty go to the roof and they hug. (I fangirl over the smallest of things)

So again storyline goes on, nothing other than that happens between them until the 3rd book. So what happened is Livvy died in the end of the 2nd book. That impacted Ty a lot. Livvy was like the only person who understood Ty. N when Livvy dies, he feels really alone.

BUT now he's intent on bringing her back. He asks Kit to help him, Kit says that it's not a good idea but he goes along with Ty bc if he doesn't, Ty would do it alone and maybe there's a chance that Kit can convince him not to until the time Ty finds all the stuff he needs for necromancy.

Ty somehow manages to acquire everything and a day before a major war, he wakes up Kit and convinces Kit to come with him to the Lake Lyn where they would do the necromancy.

Now, during the necromancy, it's obviously sinister and Kit still doesn't want to help in it. He again tries to stop Ty and he tells Ty that he isn't alone and that everyone in his family loves him and they are all going to be there for him n that he's there too.

N that's when Kit tells Ty that he loves him.

"I love you Ty, I love you." (that quote lives in my mind all the time hehe)

Then Ty almost stops but then he continues on with necromancy. When Livvy's ghost appears, even Livvy says that necromancy was a bad idea n apparently one of the ingredients that he got was corrupted so she couldn't have been brought back physically n only her ghost was brought back. Ty tells her to stay, in her ghost form n says "There's nothing here without you." Or some variation of that, I can't remember rn.

N Kit is there in the background looking at the guy he just confessed to and probably the only person he's ever said 'I love you' to, say that there is nothing without Livvy, feels heartbroken n that Ty doesn't love him.

Now, what Ty said about the being nothing shouldn't be a big deal because he loves his sister a lot n of course he is going to feel alone but Kit is an orphan, he doesn't remember his mother n his father was a shitty guy. So Kit makes a big deal out of it.

The next day during the battle, they weren’t allowed to go to the battle (even though Ty wanted to join but Magnus tied them to a tree through magic on Julian’s orders). So they both were angry with each other n at one point Kit says that he wished he never met Ty. Now Ty is autistic, and he believes the things the way they are said so that’s the start of their angsty ending in tda.

So anyways, Livvy’s ghost comes at that moment, frees both of them from the tree n they go to join the battle, Ty climbs a tree n by the time he checks on Kit Emma had seen Kit n took him away cause she was told to keep Kit safe.

N then there’s another plot twist, its found that Kit is not only the Lost Herondale but a Heir to the Faerie crown which he doesn’t want. But if people find out its him, they’re going to be after him to kill him. So, Tessa and Jem (who had found him at first ) ask him if he wants to live with them in Devon. N Kit, feeling depressed n rejected says yes. And he says to leave asap n he doesn’t want to say goodbye to anyone.

It wouldn’t have that heartbreaking but some points of their actions toward each other are so sweet.

Like Ty doesn’t look into someone’s eyes but he looked at Kit. N Kit, he didn’t cry ever in the book, even when his only family died but he did when Ty didn’t reply to his i love you.

Now, they’re going to have their own trilogy, The Wicked Powers. Which is gonna be published no time soon :/

Personal opinion: I’m glad they didn’t get together in tda because both of them have their own traumas over which they need to work out.

So, yeah, that’s the whole story.

plus they have such a sweet ship name!!!!

i had that surgery between posting abt tokrev and now n took a break from reading and so the first half of tenjiku arc is fuzzy BUT i did finish it today so heres an  update, ~190 chapters in

ive been vague b4 but this one will DEF have spoilers im talking openly abt so if you havent finished tenjiku arc dont read anymoreeee

i think i started last time abt the emma ch so to start off this one w the emma ch bc. damn. i think besides being absolutely heartbreaking this cemented kisaki as not necessary the enemy, but as someone who has done wrong. kisaki has been the main villain this entire time, but i mentioned this last time, its different being told someone has done something vs seeing it. besides him n hanma beating up chifuyu, everything kisaki has done hasnt had any proof to it. even when he says  something akin to ‘damn my plan is foiled’ its less admission when theres nothing to back it.

but emma changes that. now theres a homicide associated w kisaki. now theres a bad thing hes done right in front of the mc, and for all the viewers/readers to see. now hes equivocated w the death of emma. 

i think emmas death matters for two reasons, and one more than the other. the first is the impact it has on mikey. its shown a few times now what death will do to him, like w shinichirou and baji, but w emma it hits different. im gonna contrast her and baji on both points, not to take away from baji’s death, but to add to emmas.

if im not mistaken a majority of baji scenes were only shown after his death. i think it worked and the valhalla arc was  rly well structured, but what this left in turn was a sort of emptiness associated w baji dying. the readers didnt rly know him at all compared to some of the other toman captains, and it rly hadnt been shown yet wwhat his relationship w mikey was like. we see the effect it has in his rage towards kazu, and none of his grieving. even when at bajis grave, its chifuyu that gets a bigger focus than mikey. but w emma, it actively tears mikey up. he struggles to carry her to the hospital, hes visibly shaken when he tells takemichi shes grown cold, and hes absolutely dead inside when hina is crying at emmas corpse and drakon is yelling at him asking why he let it happen. it hits hard, and it shows, and it makes the impact that much harder, that she died in the past and theres no way tofix it. and the realization takemichi has right before, of ‘o yeah ive never seen grown emma come to think abt it’ then bam.

the second and much bigger point is the emotional impact is has on the reader. baji appears and is instantly a source of conflict. he outs himself from toman, he joins the enemy, he denounces chifuyu when questioned abt investigating kisaki. theres no reason to trust him n no reason to think he’ll turn back, and then only thing there is mikey saying he wants baji back.

emma had that amazing chapter not long before, and shes had a few focal points previously, like on her birthday, and on new years, etc. we’ve seen her as an individual first, then as mikey’s sister, and that makes a difference. seeing her even admitting izana was her brother rly hit different bc its emma, the emma that grew up w shin and mikey but had another life before that. that was the connection i kept making, even as izana explained he had more relation w shinichirou, bc it was mentioned by emma first, bc emma remembered him, after all those years. knowing izana was involved w her death made it hit harder. it hits harder in general bc its emma, someone whos been around since the beginning, and been explored more in depth. i felt sad when baji died, but i was destroyed and heartbroken when emma died.

which, going back, makes kisaki in turn absolutely despicable. deplorable. abhorrent. unforgivable. even more so when he shoots kaku, and then izana, thrice, and then izana dies. i still rly didnt. get? izanas motivations, but i started to feel for him thru mikey, when he realized it was izana shin meant when he asked abt a second older brother. kaku getting shot was unexpected and almost worse than emma in the moment, bc kisaki had a gun and even knives were kinda taboo weapons, guns were completely off the table, and he shot five times andinjured three people w every shot. im glad the tenjiku members that stayed behind told police abt kisaki bc the entire time he was running i was like um??? and even B4 that i was like hey no mikey you dont need to stay, yall jus nee to beat kisaki into submission n have him confess bc the gun is right there, the bullets are there, cmon now.

but then kisaki dies/????? the way its set up made me go crazy, thinkin someone did it purposely, but then the driver was a nobody, and then hes still alive after impact???? big surprise honestly. but then his arm n leg are emessed up, n he says he cant get up, n it took me a sec to realize he prolly lost coordination n not jus bc of one leg, like he prolly couldnt sit up at all, then he up n died rightthere. 

b4 thattho, was the confirmation. i completely always thought kisaki wasnt a timeleaper, i thought takemichi made atheory but  it was baseless, i didnt rly like it, and then the scene during the vs tenjiku when he says future stuff n kisakis like what?? are yiu talking abt??? BUT THEN then have their standoff in the same parking lot n kisaki says you are a timeleaper and i was like what? he can also??? but then he coudnt! he admitted, was like no in ever could, which means someone else is pulling strings if there is another timeleaper, andmy moneys on hanma, the only other one whos been around the whole time. maybe ill b surprised but i f its not him then theres not another one, imo.

kisaki dying caught me off guard. his whole ten year plan was absolutely nuts, ic ant believe he thought he could go up to hina n straight propose n she would say yes, like honestly would she even remember him at that point? regardless i knew from the cram school chapters that there was some connection there, but i didnt think hina dying was some jealousy-fueled hate revenge plot. wild. but now the “main” villain is dead so what goes from here? we willn see.

i am rly glad kaku made it out. tallying 3 deaths in the kanto incident was so confusing w emma being one of them but the reveal that kaku was alive was rly something. i hope more comes from him!! the setup between him n takemichi was rly rly nice!!!! i wanna see more

i am kinda sad abt coco, bc thesetup of takemichi protecting him from div5 was great, n inui is a permanant fixture in div1 now, so to see coco decide to split was kinda sad. hope he doesnt go down the wrong path. kinda expected to see more knowing how popular him n inui are?? but nontheless

and smiley and angry were so good!! souta and kawata are amazing and souta was not like what i was expecting at all, n now knowing that he cares a lot n is not rly a fighter but iss till in toman jus. rly speaks a lot abt mikeys judge of character n kawatas older brotherschtich that they would let him be vice of div4. seeing what kawata and mitsuya both did during tenjiku arc was rly nice. 

and then hina telling drakon andmikey!!! surprised they believed, but it rly will mak things move now. for ex the gun scene where hes abt to shoot kisaki, rly ready to end it, but then hina n mikey rush in. i rly like that knowing that they both know this takemici is from the future, bc they panic but their faith in him isnt lost ,y’know? like they see him desperate, n drakon has a great line abt takemichi’s desperation, theyre not seeing their friend abt toshoot someone n freaking, n they wont judge his sense of character off of that,instead theyre seeing the desperation of someone who wants things to change, and know they can talk him out of it, or if not that then at least ,like, its not going to change what they think abt him. iunno jus. nice little detail i loved while reading that.
