why is nothing about the blackthorns ever just "sweet" why is it always either bittersweet or tragic ://

The things I would do to get a series detailing Mina, Max, Rafe & Tavvy, at the ages of 16, wrecking havoc.

Julian: I'm a little worried about Tavvy.

Emma: I see him perfectly.

Julian: Since he returned from his visit to the New York Institute he has been listening to Good Luck Babe non-stop.

Emma: Now that you mention it, Ty hasn't stopped humming it neither...

Julian: Are we in the middle of a homosexual crisis that we haven't heard about?

Emma: It's best to call Mark before panic.

Mark: Oh my angel, are you going to tell me that you doesn't know abot the whole Sabrina Carpenter tea? I am the one that lifes in another kingdom. Take a sit bro!

TWP: my arthurian headcanon - Interlude

Ok, i meant to do part 3 and then the interlude but the interlude goes better near pt.2 so...

Warnings: 1) You better show some respect for my boy Tavvy. 2) He is just a sweet little baby. 3) All Blackthorn Siblings will plot your death if you disrespect him.

I know, i know, he won't be a major character in The Wicked Powers BUT HE IS A MAJOR CHARACTER IN MY HEART SO BE SILENT WHILE I RANT.

Octavian Blackthorn, seventh of the Seven Blackthorn Siblings: my lovely Lancelot of the Lake. Lancelot is commonly known as Guinevere's affair, the bright knight with a pristine record until he fell for his Queen. He had a strong connection with the Holy Grail but ultimately failed in achieving his full glory due to his earthly sins.

In part 1 i used the Black Book of the Dead as an allegory for the Holy Grail, and compared Ash to Galahad because they were the only ones to survive its powers - and become and elevated being after that connection. In LM, Octavian was targeted to be the final sacrifice the prophecy required. However, he is deprived from that (horrible) faith by his family - his own earthly connection, here, storge instead of eros.

But my main argument is this: as a young child, Lancelot is left orphaned and the Lady of the Lake takes him as her pupil and raises him in her own domain. Her influence it's the first to shape his character.

When we first meet the Blackthorns, Octavian and Drusilla are not there. Emma, Julian, Mark, Livvy and Ty are in the same room (Helen has already been introduced and is abroad) when Sebastian invades the Institute: this is the day Andrew Blackthorn dies. Emma runs to find Dru and Tavvy when she realizes what is happening and this is how we are introduced to them: Drusilla is 8 years old and is trying to maintain hold of a heavy sword to protect her baby brother from harm, doing her best to keep her composure for the sake of a scared 2 year old Tavvy, even though at the time she hadn't started her training yet.

Now the Blackthorns are officially war orphans. Octavian and Drusilla are the very last of the Blackthorn family, oftentimes in the company of each other. When Tavvy is taken by Malcom in LM, Dru is the one with him (until she was convinced to leave); when the twins leave to their own adventures, Dru is the one tasked to take care of him; in the majority of the last book Octavian's actions and behaviors are influenced by Drusilla's own actions and behaviors.

At last, i'll leave you with the part that broke my heart (and Dru's):

“No!” Tavvy wailed as Dru pushed him toward Maryse and the red front door of the Graymark house. “No, ’Silla, I want to go with you! NO! ” he shrieked, the word tearing her heart as she let go of him and backed away.”

Thank you @kaitcreates for this idea!

Also, I wanted to specify "other than Livvy" because on a previous poll it was mostly agreed that she will go back to being dead. And since she already died once it wouldn't really count.

Mark Blackthorn from TDA

Artist: I don't know. If you know, tell me the name, please

[vixs48]

guys where are the fanfics about julian being a dad to his siblings??? i need this!!

[garvalhaminho]

friendly reminder tavvy likely doesn't hold any long-term memories of his father, mother or older siblings before the war happened bc he was way too young. and the only person he can remember being a child to was his brother

[starrieshq]

"Tavvy reached up his arms. "Jules," he said, his small voice clear and ringing. "Carry me. I'm tired. I want to go home.'"

-Page 786 of Queen Of Air And Darkness by @cassandraclare
