Headcanons About The Next Generation After TLH (Part Three?)

I doubt James and Cordelia will stick to just one kid and I bet Lucie and Jesse will also have kids and so here they are:

Cornelius “Neil” Herondale: Cordelia and James’s middle child, born in 1914. I know James was being so deadass when he wanted to rename Jesse Cornelius, and so he lived that dream through his son. Neil is under the predicament of having a pet demon dog. He met this dog when he very young, and this demon dog was just a baby at the time. This demon dog was rejected and left to die in a river, and Neil, who had assumed this was just a really ugly dog that just so happened to have certain mutated features, saved the dog and took it home. Upon learning this dog was a demon, he is not swayed to let the dog go; he's already very attached. He hides the dog for as long as he can but it's eventually discovered. The Clave is obviously not pleased, but then during a demon attack the demon dog helped Neil fight it off, so the demon dog gets a pass for now, and Neil fights demons along side his demon dog. Neil names the dog Potato, because like a potato, the dog has many eyes along his body. Neil's definitely on the blunt side, to the point people are kinda reluctant to talk to him. But despite this, he's actually very kind, to the point of it being a bit ridiculous, his bluntness simply coming from a straightforward mindset.

Rayna Herondale: The youngest Herondale sibling, born in 1917. Rayna means ‘Queen’, and I figure James and Cordelia would name their kid something after chess. Rayna got bit by a werewolf when she was young. It was an accident; she had a secret friend who was a werewolf, and they just played too rough that one time (and I imagine her and this werewolf end up getting romantically involved later as teens but that’s another story). Anyway, she kept the bite a secret, and she didn’t end up turning into a werewolf. However, she does notice she has some heightened abilities as some sort of side effect, like needing very little sleep with very good night vision, and being slightly stronger then what would be natural and so on, and of course keeping it all a secret. She needs very little Runes as a result, but she’s actually very fascinated by Runes (kind of the opposite of Alexander). She has incredibly strong opinions about everything, with a tendency to give a speech about things at any given moment; much like her grandfather Will, she’s always willing to spin a tale on something that happened, adding her thoughts on it all the while. Overall, a very talkative person, which is a bit odd for someone so secretive.

Jessamine "Jazz" Blackthorn: Jesse and Lucie’s eldest, born in 1915. Lucie knows it would mean a lot to Jessamine if she named her daughter after her, so she did. Her nickname Jazz came from when she was a baby and she would sway along whenever she heard music, babbling the tune. And as she got older that didn’t change; she still adores music, studying it as much as she can learning whatever instrument she could get her hands on. Jem for sure taught her the violin. She’s got this never ending restless energy that she can pour into her music, but when she’s not holding an instrument she becomes rather fidgety. Her restless energy comes in handy when fighting demons, able to fight for a very long time without tiring, her endurance very incredible even by Shadowhunter standards. 

Rupert “Ruie” Blackthorn: The younger Blackthorn sibling, born in 1917. Sticking with the ‘named after dead loved one’s’ theme they’ve got, it was Jesse’s turn, so he named him after his dead father. Ruie adores tricks, especially if it’s done to him. He loves solving all sorts of riddles and puzzles, the higher the stakes the better. It’s not a bragging thing, in fact, unless asked, he wouldn’t bring it up. He just likes the challenge of it sort of, just utterly enthralled with it. This, naturally, makes him very much drawn to the fae. He ends up strolling up to the fae and literally asking them to be tricked, much to the fae’s confusion. But they do, and somehow Ruie almost always ends up on top. He gets fairly well known among the fae, with them actually kind of respecting him for being able to withstand their games. This causes his loved ones a lot of stress, particularly Matthew, who has tried to warn him several times but to no avail. He ends up coming up with a lot of security measures for the clave, which has the unfortunate side affect of him knowing how to break into things the clave hold dear. Ruie finds straightforward fights with demons to be a bit boring, but he understands his duty as a Shadowhunter and puts his all into the fight. He occasionally gets his fun in when he can trick a demon into a trap of sorts.

girls r like "but he's my comfort character" and then it's literally the most emotionally traumatized man you have ever seen ever

[bisexualcroissant]

“that’s my comfort character” and it’s always the most traumatised, depressed and sarcastic ones

[derangedthoughtssideblog]

the struggle between wanting a tv show of your favourite books so you can watch edits of your favourite characters and the knowledge that if the actors don't look exactly like the characters in your mind you're going to kill everyone in that show and yourself

[kevindavidday]

never not thinking about this. btw.

i'm on a mission to read the 70+ books/series on my tbr so this list will probably change and evolve but here are some of my current favorite characters of all time ! (lmk what some of yours are !)

part 1: book characters

Lucie Herondale (Official Art by Charlie Bowater, The Last Hours series by Cassandra Clare): she's so me, she's silly, she's a writer, she writes borderline erotic fanfiction about her best friend, she sees and controls ghosts, she's the daughter of my favorite characters so she is my favorite character ^3 (cubed) (herongraystairs) <3.

Princess Leia (Art from Star Wars #12 by Stuart Immonen. "Leia, Princess of Alderaan" by Claudia Gray): i love leia in general but in this book my love for her grew x10000. she was 16 and so so angry at everything and the way she grew into her role as a rebel was >>> plus her dynamic with amilyn holdo was delightful. hot take: they should have kissed...

Xie Lian (Image from Heaven Official's Blessing Donghua Adaptation, TGCF aka "Heaven Official's Blessing" by MXTX): The only male character i've ever said HES SO MEEE to, largely cause he's a cancer zodiac like me <3 ascended at 17, went from a crown prince to the god of misfortune and scraps :'(, a virgin for 800+ years, abandoned by everyone except his 1 believer, was banished from the heavens TWICE but ascended three times, cursed, hit rock bottom and then hit it again and then hit it again, nevertheless he chooses to be kind, just wants to help people, he never knows whether to laugh or cry, he's suffered more than jesus, he's so tragic i love him.

Inej Ghafa (Official art for SDCC by Kevin Wada, Six of Crows duology by Leigh Bardugo) : also a cancer zodiac like me hehe (automatically if a character's sign is cancer they get promoted in my brain it seems...) she endured unspeakable horrors and survived, she's a spy, skilled with knives aka the best weapon, she still has faith despite it all and she's so determined to live the best life she can, she's kind !! but also deadly!! so in conclusion, thee best character in the grishaverse + she's called "wraith" aka ghost and ghosts are kinda my thing <3

NEIL JOSTEN (Art from Dazzlingbookishshop special edition cover for The Foxhole Court by @polartss, AFTG series by Nora Sakavic): *SCREAMS* he's my everything. another character who has suffered more than jesus. no one gets him like i get him. most main character to ever main character. i love you paranoid characters who are always running but find a reason to stay <\3. i love his selflessness and his intelligence and his cockiness and his desperation. i love a bunch of aftg characters (most recently jean) but neil is neil. best thing to ever happen to me. no further comment. i can't think of anything else to say i just LOVE him. (and yes him and andrew are the epitome of love)

Annabeth Chase (Fan Art of Annabeth Chase by @madicanart, PJO series by Rick Riordon): ANOTHER ONE (cancer zodiac) my first love. i wanted to be her so bad as a kid. she had curly hair and i have curly hair so i was like YES she's me (she + hermione were my idols). i wore owl-themed jewelry for years cause of her. another smart, kind, and not to be messed with character <3 she was afraid of spiders, and often too prideful, and was always wanting to make her mom proud, and had a complicated relationship with her father. all of that hit a little too close to home :') + her wanting to be an architect in order to build something permanent .. shatters my heart to this day.

Citra Terranova (Scythe Official Bookmark art created for @milleetunlivres_box by @kat_adara, Arc of a Scythe series by Neal Shusterman): her character arc is probably my favorite character arc to this day, she went from a somewhat bratty girl with low empathy to the most empathetic scythe. smart, kind, and strong-willed, she said "i vow to become the change that could have been" and then she did !! seeing how much she grew as a person from book 1 to book 2 was incredible. book 3 was a bit of a letdown but citra's character was still the highlight for me.

Blue Sargent AND Ronan Lynch (Official Art from The Raven Cycle Graphic Novel Adaptation Art by Sas Milledge, The Raven Cycle Series by Maggie Stiefvater): i tried to only pick one character per fandom but they're a package deal for me !!! I LOVE THEM SO MUCHHHHHH !!! they're the most characters to ever character, where else can i find an amplifying half-tree manic pixie alt girl from a family of psychics and a eldrich horror gay catholic farmer. don't get me wrong, i love all of the raven cycle gang but these two spoke to me deep in my soul. like i need to be their friend so badly, i would give anything !!

Benji Ovich (Fanart of Benji Ovich by painacotta, Beartown by Fredrik Backman): the newest edition to my fav characters list. beartown made me cry so much my tearducts no longer produced tears and i got a dehydration headache. i'm not yet done with the series but he's the tragic type of character that i know is going to wreak my psyche and destroy my spirit. raised by women, has a bear tattoo, described as "the boy with the most handsome face, saddest eyes, and the wildest heart they've ever seen". my heart is already broken for him.

sidenote: MORE PEOPLE NEED TO READ BEARTOWN AND DRAW FANART, WE'RE STARVING

runner ups: julian blackthorn from the dark artifices series, PERCY JACKSON !!!, tarisai from raybearer, & zoya nazyalensky from the king of scars duology

& special mention for my resident insane girls: pip fitz-amobi from agggtm, mara dyer from the mara dyer series, lissa dragomir from the vampire academy books, & juliette ferrars from shatter me

[proserpina-09]

Sometimes I just wish I could introduce different characters to each other like "Hei Neil, Andrew! Please meet Laurent, Prince of Vere and his proud husband Damianos of Akelios" or "Hei Regulus! This is Kim Theerapanyakul!" or "Remus, this fine gentleman is Jem Carstairs and Sirius, well, that is Will Herondale."

[tyhxrondxle]

fell first/fell harder trope but it’s my favorite ships

evajacks: eva fell first, jacks fell harder

maxon/america: maxon fell first, america harder

alex/henry: henry first/alex harder

peeta/katniss: peeta first/katniss harder

kaz/inej: inej first/kaz harder

wolfstar: remus first/sirius harder (but my headcanon is that sirius fell first too)

dorlene: dorcas first/marlene harder

neil/andrew: andrew first/neil harder

percy/annabeth: same time same love

aridante: dante first/ari harder

Your Actions Have Consequences

Fresh off the victories of their divorces these characters go out to celebrate and instead they find ... new love? Here are your new couples:

Gideon Nav (The Locked Tomb)/ Jane Su (One Last Stop)

Alastair Carstairs (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)/ Adam Parrish (The Raven Cycle)

Baz Grimm-Pitch (Carry On)/ Wylan Van Eck (Six Of Crows)

Smith Parker (I Kissed Shara Wheeler)/ Kit Herondale (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)

Mark Blackthorn (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)/ Eric “Bitty” Bittle (Check, Please!)

Chloe Green (I Kissed Shara Wheeler)/ Anna Lightwood (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)

Alec Lightwood (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)/ Neil Josten (All For The Game)

Alex Claremont-Diaz (Red White And Royal Blue)/ Helen Blackthorn (The Shadowhunter Chronicles)

I am not unreasonable though. You will have one week once the poll goes up to decide which of these new couples is the worst and break them up. Everyone else will be canon after this week to get to know and care for each other.

[aleswiftgron]

I have to make a speaking for my english class and it has to be about a film/ series/ or books

And i don't know whether to make it about Good Omens (the show, and tell facts about the book and Neil Gaiman) or about Shadowhunters (the books, and talk a bit about the differences with the series)

I have to make the presentation tomorrow to show it on thursday

[obsessedwithbooksandmusic]

Hello u amazing lot!

But i feel better now so I kinda wanna post one of my songs! Now, I love them all so idk what to post so I’m gonna randomly select a few I wanna post and get anyone who manages to see it to vote on which one they wanna see.
