#qoaad reread

[aleclightofmylifewoodbane]

i dont know if ive ever talked about here how much i love raphael, and his relationship with lily, but i DO. so profoundly much. so rereading qoaad, when the first thing raphael asks emma and julian about their world is who is running his clan, and how at peace and happy he seems that it is lily, it makes me so happy and so sad. his care for her is always so plain and it makes me want to sob. he loved her in every way he was capable of, even if he couldnt return her romantic feelings. he was always proud of her

KITSTOPHER GRAY CARSTAIRS ROOK HERONDALEEEEEE YOU COULDN’T EVEN SAY GOOD BYE TO TYYYY??? COULDN’T WAIT EVEN A MOMENT TO SEE HOW MUCH HE CARESSS??? WHYY KIT?

[bookishjules]

What do you expect/hope to see in twp?

oh i love this. not theories, necessarily, but expectations? let's see..

faerie will come to its "full power," as was prophesied, and will thus fall into shadow. (i feel like this is either going to be the only option kit has in a moment of quick decisions, or joining the courts is something he is forced to do? this may separate parties, and/or require the rosales heirlooms to come back from)

i don't expect that kieran will remain king of unseelie after the series ends

janus is gonna die, ash is also gonna have to stand against him at some point

i think ash and kit are going to have to work together (and use their magic in tandem?) to defeat the big bad (lucifer et al?)

james' gun!! will be used!! (<- can you tell i'm excited about this?)

the main hub location will be in england

(i have so many theories as to what the major shift will be at the end, but i don't have enough faith in any of them to present it as an expectation)

as for hopes..

pointy-earred kit please

excalibur makes an appearance

the main cast will remain pretty small until major events. with how much has to be accomplished in this series, i don't think i could take the ambitious cast of tlh. leaving it with the main 4-7 would be ideal.

it will be drenched in moral gray-ness. i think the characters are ripe for it, and with how complicated things look like they're adding up to be, i think it really only makes sense. plus, it would allow for more tension between the mcs

i really need to start brushing up on my arthurian legends. even if cc doesn't rely super heavily on it when shaping the story, i can't wait to see how it comes into play.

its always so funny how much i was drawn to the forbidden love trope as a kid like baby u r just a dyke!

[cabeswaterdrowned]

The detail of Tessa really wanting to be accepted by shadowhunters as co head of institute and being so excited/intent to make a good impression with the few visitors they do get :(.

Rereading QoAaD and in the epilogue i noticed this.

“I have his swords,” said Fergus. “You might wish to see them.”

He laid them at the Queen’s feet. A larger sword with stars imprinted on its dark silver blade, its pommel and grip coated in gold. A smaller sword of black gold and adamas, a pattern of stars down its center ridge.

“Heosphorus and Phaesphorus,” said the Queen. “But they were destroyed.”

“Not in my world,” said Jace

So Clary getting her sword back is a possibility depending what come to pass in TWP!!!

[wikitpowers]

rereading los and catching these little foreshadowings like livvy accusing kit of leadin ty on and explaining that ty has learned to match words with expressions and catching onto when people say this they dont mean. make me even more certain that during the ressurection livvy, ty saw how distressed kit was and how that didnt match the words of his confession. (ofc not mention how overstimulated ty must have felt with, wel NECROMANCY)

OH DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED!!! whenever i see anybody blaming ty for “rejecting kit” and “not saying i love you back” i get so angry! like bffr! practically throughout the whole of qoaad we can see how in his own way, ty is super distressed after livvy’s death and trying to find a way to bring her back. i think he does have feelings for kit, but bc he (most likely) saw kit and livvy kiss, and bc i love you can be said by friend or family member as a way of comforting AND bc kit confessed while they were literally ressurrecting livvy (!), ty was way too taken aback and confused to reply with anything other than a blank stare! and i totally agree that it seems like ty didn’t match the words of the confession with kit’s previous behaviour! god i just hate when people blame ty for their separation as if he even had any idea what was even going on… and bc kit left so suddenly, they practically had no time to talk about it and explain what truly happened :(

AHHHHHH I GOT MY SOBH HARD COPY!!!! i’m 18% done with my qoaad reread then then im rereading the hardback of sobh!!!!

“Ty grew up so handsome,” she added. “The girls must be all over him. Or the boys,” she added with a sideways smile that faded quickly.

sobs

Okay but I just reread QOAAD and the brother dynamic between Diego and Jaime is so cute

[jaimrennnn]

What we know of Jaime Rosales so far

He’s seventeen as of 2012 in TDA

He has an older brother Diego who most likely will become the next inquisitor

his favorite weapon is poison

According to Cristina in Lady midnight he hates studying and homework

he’s the more warrior like and fierce brother

he has a noticeable accent compared to Diego and Cristina

His most striking feature is his large brown eyes that are said to be sparkly with wicked long lashes.

There’s a strong possibility he has attended the Shadowhunter academy given in lady midnight that he was set to go to Idris or in QOAAD he asks Dru if she will attend the academy.

He’s noted to be fidgety sometimes

He’s known to disappear for a long period of times. (What’s this guy upto?)

He and Cristina would often set up targets in the institute garden to practice knife throwing skills which often scared visitors.

Interestingly he was set up to be the older brother but Cassie somehow scraped that idea and made him the younger sibling

he has a tattoo that reads la sangre sin fuego hierve. ‘’blood boils without fire" which signifies his passion and loyalty to his family

He’s set to be a main character in the wicked powers.

He’s mischievous, often likes to play devil’s advocate in games, is troublesome and often has Diego pick up his mess.

From the latest update in SOBH he’s currently lost in Faerie. Most details about his disappearance is unknown.

Cristina says he has the devil’s luck (possible foreshadowing of his Anti Hero arc 👀) imagine the angst, the betrayal, the build up, the plot and all the possibilities!!!!!!!! @cassandraclare you better do Justice to his character and storyline. He has the POTENTIAL‼️

There’s probably more feel free to add on. I’ve developed a new found interest in Jaime after a TDA reread💕

[steamworksfairy]

Ya know, I think my favorite thing about KitTy is the angst. The gut-wrenching longing, the fact Ty's flower card says 'I have loved you and you haven't known it' and Kit's says 'Am I forgotten?' How in SoBH Ty asked Kit when he'd forgive him, and Kit said,"I don't know." And then Ty followed that up with,"But not now?"

It was the 'but not now' that broke me. I can’t get that moment out of my head. I'm a little scared to reread QoAaD now because the moment Kit gets his heart broken is gonna make me sob 😭

Of course, I say all this before having reread LoS. So their angst is still at the forefront of my mind.

[margareturtle]

Currently rereading QOAAD and suddenly upset about the lost potential of Cameron and Livvy

Them in Thule are just so cute and so in love😭😭

And they never interact in our world except for when Livvy calls him “annoying but hot like redheaded captain america”

And maybe it’s the conditions of Thule that brought them together and maybe nothing would have happened in our world but we’ll never know 😭😭

Like in Thule Cam worships Livvy, and in our world Cam was a good boyfriend (even if he obvi wasn’t right for Emma). I could so imagine Livvy putting Cam in his place.

I don’t know if I want Cam and Thule Livvy to even meet bc it would be so sad for Thule Livvy with the history she has with him.

It’s so tragic to me that Cam might have lost the love of his life in our world and never know it 😭😭

Is Thule Cam really dead? Could our Tessa go to Thule and let him out of the Silent City?? I want more Cameron in TWP tbh

I’m so excited to go back to Thule in TWP tbh (I assume we will)

Bc I still believe that Thule Mark and Dru are still out their bc they were said to be lost but not dead.

(And also WHERE ARE THULE SIMON AND KIT?!!!) I NEED TO KNOWWW

[poisxninthewater]

i finished rereading qoaad a couple days ago and since then i’ve had the biggest kitty brainrot ever..they consume my every thought i could rant about them for hours fr
