Thinking about how Will and Tessa loved Jem so much they named their son “James” after him.

And also thinking about how, 130 years later, Jem and Tessa named their daughter “Wilhemina” after Will. And then they adopted a snarky lil Herondale boy to raise too.

I JUST…. IT’S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT LOVE!!!!!! IT’S ABOUT DEVOTION!!!

😭😭😭😭

“There is never any need to worry, Mina mine,” said Jem. “Silly melon.”

jem took mina for a picnic in the park, but of course they got distracted by a book tessa had packed for them in the basket and forgot all about the jam sandwiches mina insisted on🙈

Mina was born in 2013.

76 years after Will's death.

Will who died at age 76.

She was born on the year that Will had been dead for as long as he'd lived

Since I made one for our Dru dearest, thought I’d make one for Kit (Ty coming soon🙂‍↕️!)

Every (most) offical art of Kit Herondale post TDA:

Does he have gold blonde hair? Does he have pale blonde hair? We will never know 🙂‍↕️

“Tessa had suffered pains that Jem could not, bringing Mina into the world. His wife would never lose sleep with the baby while Jem was in the house. That was Jem’s privilege.”

It's not surprising that Kit got such a lethal face card. Look at his parents 😌✨

Just realised Mina’s second name, Yiqiang, translates to “remembrance”. If you connect it with her full given name “Wilhelmina”, it can be literally read as 'in remembrance of William’. I love how much Tessa and Jem actually love Will.

I kind of love how Cassie frequently mentions in LoS that every time the Blackthorns reunite, Kit fades into the background while everyone hugs, because nobody of the family really seeks him out. And while this might be sad to read, it’s so meaningful because by TWP he will have Tessa, Jem and Mina who will immediately search for him, hug and ask him if he’s alright.

(after drawing ty asleep in his bedroom it only felt right to do the same with kit!)

I think Kit herondale moving to Devon to stay with Jem and Tessa was a very appropriate decision made by Cassie.

Kit was, by no means ready to be in a relationship with Ty at that stage. I definitely do not like the way things ended with them. But what I do know is that Kit needed Jem and Tessa. Kit needed their love and guidance. Here, we are talking about someone whose father showed him such little affection that he felt that he was never loved by him. And he was the only family Kit had ever known while growing up. Kit did not value himself. He hated himself. And until a person learns to love themselves they won't be able to love others properly, no matter how hard they try.

I love the blackthorns. I really do. But tbh they are a bunch of teenagers with too much baggage on them already. They are always busy with their own businesses. They don't have time to help Kit with his mental health when they all clearly need therapy as well. Living at the LA Institute would not help with Kit's mental health in the slightest.

What he truely needs is a loving, caring family that can give him time and attention. Who can teach him to love and to be loved. Kit needed Jem and Tessa. He needed Mina. He needed church. He needed them to know the value of family, love, protection and care. He needed to be a son. He needed to be a brother. He needed to be a tol hooman for his cat.

Before he needed the Blackthorn's companionship, he needed the Carstairs family's love. I just know that by the end of the three year period Kit Herondale would be in a much better place as a much better, understanding and mature person. And most of all, I need people to understand this.
