Tell Me Lies theory #1

based off the newest eps of it I’ve developed a v tinfoil hat theory.

Stephen and Lucy never separated. At least they’ve seen each other in the past 4 years.

Hear me out-

Stephen is dating Lucy’s ex-best friend (Lydia). Not because he likes her, but to flaunt her around because it gets under Lucy’s skin. Lydia hates Lucy because (I presume) Lucy helped ruin Lydia’s brother’s life. So Stephen is showing not only can he have someone that Lucy can’t, but he is even putting on the act for everyone that he’s a changed man because of her.

Which we see he hasn’t changed at all. Everything he’s doing is deliberate. The buzz cut hair to bring Lucy “back in time”. The wedding toast to goad Lucy into breaking. Bringing Lydia around to show Lucy everything she can’t have. That she wasn’t good enough to change for. And then he’s happy when he thinks she broke with the “meet me at the pool” text

In exact comparison, Lucy picked a man that she knew would get under Stephen’s skin. Stephen has already shown jealousy and anger about Max. Lucy has already been with Max early on. And when she tells Stephen, he eventually breaks when she says they cuddled. As we’ve seen before, Stephen cannot handle his partner’s previous hookups (mainly if he’s confronted with them). When Diana told him about Wrigley is the main example, but we see the same jealousy come out with Max and Lucy.

Lucy (in my opinion) quickly gives into Stephen’s game. She sent the pool text to get a one up on him for the toast. She gets annoyed when Max is nice to him since she doesn’t want Max to be seen as a non-threat.

My theory is that there’s NO WAY they’ve gone 4 years without seeing each other. They’ve literally built their current lives around this game of power play. I think they never lost contact and every step they’ve been taking is a move against one another.

I think they’re either together still and pretending w everyone else. Or they’re at least occasionally meeting up and having an affair. They seem to keep going back to one another because of the “no one else will accept me” mentality. Max and Lydia don’t seem to be any different with how they act. Lucy and Stephen have clearly not opened up to them, they still only know each other.

If I want to get crazier with this theory, I believe Diana and Pippa may know. And they have their own plot to expose the two of them. Their cryptic wording with “they were both here” and whatnot, it seemed like they judged them together and equally.

Shadowhunters brainrot is back, so I've decided to make a series of family trees for the main five families. Up first, it's the Herondales!

(I'm using information from the found family tree that is yet to be contradicted by other canon materials)

Fairchild

Blackthorn

Carstairs

Lightwood

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?

i adore sweenett not in the way that i think they actually love eachother and are a healthy couple at all. i just love them bc they are so silly and evil and trust eachother so deeply and rely on eachother and they were truly all the other one had. sweeney and mrs lovett are two very lonely people who found friendship and connection in eachother. their relationship is so full of longing and hurt and the attraction between them is there and it’s strong but the pain they are both experiencing is stronger. they were so close. they were almost almost almost there. sweenett is infuriating and beautiful and that’s why i love it. i don’t believe they loved eachother. i think they were a little in love with eachother, but only on the surface level. you cant deny sweeney loved her just a little bit. he’s got this woman at his feet, beautiful and enticing and loving, albeit extremely strange, annoying, and morally bankrupt. being without affection or a woman’s comfort for 15 years, of course sweeney found her feelings for him both frightening and tempting. mrs. lovett, on the other hand, is completely infatuated with him, refusing to acknowledge his flaws. she’s a widow and a hopeless romantic. sweeney was all she had. she was all he had. they did good business and had so much fun while it lasted before all the secrets poured out and they killed eachother. it was silly and scary and sad. i love sweenett — not exactly as a couple, but as a pair. a couple that almost happened and most definitely never should have happened. nellie lovett and sweeney todd: twin flames from hell

I fully believe that any and all person with the last name “Herondale” would be obsessed with The Tortured Poets Department 🤍🍂☕️📚 🌬
