#shadowhunters theories

Shadowhunters headcanon:

Balios and Xanthos are actually Achilles's horses and the London Institute just owns them now and they live forever like Church with no explanation.

And I mean the actual Balios and Xanthos were immortal so... Just saying

imagine Jem is fighting back to back with Kit and for a second he feels like it's his old parabatai next to him and when Kit calls him dad kind of sarcastically kind of not, then it really feels like Will is there you know

I think there’s something really interesting about the fact that so much of Livvy & Ty’s ghostly bond being unhealthy due to the spell being poorly done, also reflecting the fact there relationship is growing unhealthy.

Should preface: Livvy & Ty love each other very much - I don’t think either is toxic to one another but I think there situation is unhealthy.

When Ty first raises Livvy, Livvy warns Ty that what he is doing is wrong. But Ty tells Livvy that all he wants is her, there is nothing without her. And she says “is that what you want”

Not what SHE wants, what he wants. Livvy knows she can’t come back, she knows it’s wrong but she would do anything for Ty. It kinda puts it into perspective, should Livvy be allowed to rest peacefully? I feel like this line is sentiment that Livvy would never put her own happiness above Ty’s. Livvy deserves to rest, but if Ty wants her back, shouldn’t she go back? He said it so. There’s nothing here without her.

Binding Livvy to this world and to Ty himself has made them develop this kind of co-dependency on each other.

Ty & Livvy have to be with one another or else they start feeling wrong. They’ve grown to always rely on each other.

Livvy doesn’t have any other options. She can ONLY talk to Ty, and Ty feels very obligated towards Livvy as well. Bringing Livvy back and how her ghostly presents work is like then tying there souls together, like there just one person.

Neither of these characters really feel as if they get to the live there own lives, again- feeling very responsible for the other person.

All of Ty’s relationships are limited because of Livvy. She’s probably his greatest sin. He literally can’t tell anyone about her. Bringing someone back is strictly forbidden in shadowhunter society. How imagine how he thinks Julian would react to the news? He probably fears that his entire family would hate him.

It’s almost as if Ty has isolated himself because of Livvy. Never really giving himself out to anyone or letting himself that the opportunity to do so.

And again, it’s the same for Livvy. She has no option but to talk to Ty. She could talk to Kit, but Kits made it obvious he doesn’t really wanna talk to her. Livvy, a character so full of life- has to watch others live the life that she wishes she could live from a far. In GOTSM, we see how much she actually hates being a ghost. But she loves Ty to much to say that.

And again: Ty & Livvy being away from each other physicallys hurts one another. There always bound to be together. And I wonder if maybe Cassandra wanted to play on the fact of those old sayings that twins have one soul split into two.

As much as I want Livvy to come back, I think there arc is meant to end as Livvy finding peace in the afterlife- and Ty finding peace without Livvy :,( my doomed siblings

I have this theory that both Alec and Izzy have realized that:

Valentine experimented on babies whose mothers were members of the Circle, because he had easy access to them while they were pregnant. (Example: Joyce with Clary and Johnathan, Céline with Jace)

Maryse, their mother, was a member of the circle while she was pregnant with Alec and then Izzy.

So there is a very high chance that they both have extra angel or demon blood.

and they have made a pact to never think about it, because they saw firsthand how messed up the Clary-Jace-Sebastian thing was.

Izzy and Alec having more angel/demon blood is such a good Shadowhunters headcannon. There’s so much you could do with it, especially it it’s introduced in the second tmi trilogy, because then they have some pre-conceived ideas that it. If anyone wants, i can go into more detail on this headcannon.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[balladofbells]

Where would the wicked powers end?

We all know every shadowhunter series has an epilogue near a body of water

TMI: lake lyn

TDA: the beach

TID: Thames under Blackfriars

TLH: The serpentine

TWP: ???

there’s lake Dimmet Tarn near Scholomance, so maybe there? But what river/lake do we also know about?

The afterlife river where Will waits for Tessa and Jem

Watch the epilogue for the wicked powers be Jem or Tessa reuniting with Will.

[garvalhaminho]

if you squint the uk tid covers each have a primary colour as their background and that is very special to me

like yes they are all part of one whole!! they all compliment each other !! everything that came after is a product of them and their love for each other !!!

[helenofblackthorns]

I need better in black to come out tomorrow so I can make insane theories about it because what do you mean Nene at the very least partially narrates the Seelie Queen and Sebastian story?? in the first person too??????

[wikitpowers]

“and that kids is why lucifer is gonna be the villain in twp, ash actually is lucifer himself, kit is gonna have gold wings, clace will get married, cassie is going to kill off a lightwood, thule!kit will be in the wild hunt and morgenthorn will be endgame”

class: [DISMISSED]

[tys-kitty]

The only advantage about having to wait till late 2025 or early 2026 for the TWP release is that I get to create even more angsty KitTy head canons

[libinih28]

Also let me say before I finish chain of thorns my theory for the family tree so I can see if I'm right by the end

MAJOR SHADOWHUNTERS SPOILERS FOR ALL THE BOOKS

Alright so first of all the family tree makes a circle so that's fucked up and I've made a TikTok and YouTube video about this (I haven't uploaded the YouTube video as of yet) but Cordelia is dark skin, dark eyes and has fiery red hair, James is dark eyes, place skin, dark hair. Every single herondale they produce though is fair and blonde and they have green and gold eyes. Who else their age is fair and blonde with green eyes that occasionally look gold? Matthew. Matthew and Cordelia are going to produce Owen herondale but Cordelia and James are going to raise it as their own. Maybe Matthew dies or maybe he marries someone else, because it is unclear whether Clary comes from Matthew or Charles on the tree. But anyway maybe Cordelia and Matthew have Owen and James dies but everyone assumes it was James who fathered him. Either way, I believe the herondales are truly of Fairchild fathering.

All let you know when I finish, how it's going :/

[julescarstairs]

I already know fact that Ash Morgenstern is going to put his whole ass self into pretending he doesn’t like Dru at all, only to look at her with the biggest heart eyes when he thinks no one’s watching.

[witchlingcirce]

To be honest, I wonder how the necromancy thing will be dealt with in TDA!!

Because there are two types of consequences that Ty will be dealing with. The physical and the more social side of bringing someone back from the dead.

1. We already see that Ty is having physical pains/ weird attachments with ghost Livvy!! Like in GOTSM when we see that when Livvy is to far away and he falls unconscious.

I wonder if maybe something similar will happen in TWP. I think we can also see that Livvys ghost is unstable, mentally and I will assume physically. We see her shatter the windows at the fought of trying to inhabit Mina’s soul!!

So I wonder if maybe the problems are growing stronger and worse. And so that could be the reason he asks Kit for help, since Kit is the only person he can ask for help about this issue.

I think the strain that the ghost bond is leaving on both of them is probably what will lead to Ty finally saying goodbye.

2. THE SOCIAL ramifications. I honestly think this is the most interesting part of this whole situations.

How will Julian react, along with Helen, Mark, Emma ect. I honestly think this reveal is going to be really interesting because there’s going to be a massive blame game. At least I think so.

Julian will blame himself for not being there, for not turning his emotions on. I think Emma would probably feel similarly to Julian.

Mark I think will also feel similarly to Julian, about not being there to support him. But I also think Mark will be upset with himself for understanding enough how to properly handle the grief of his siblings. like at the start of TDA, where he tells Simon that he had already thought his sister was dead along time ago- and had grieved her before.

And HELEN, Will probably be thinking she was there but she doesn’t/didn’t know her siblings enough to help them. She wasn’t able to recognise that something was wrong with Ty, she couldn’t see all of the suffering he was going through.

Anyways I hope this scene is MESSY. It would be kind of interesting to see the Blackthorns, a very closely knit family also kind of turn on each other. They would obviously make up cuz they love each other sm- but yk ANGST.

And than there’s the political aspects of the resurrections. Honestly think is kind of hard to speculate because we’ve never actually seen the clave react to a resurrection like this.

Because honestly? I think Ty is going to be heavily reprimanded and probably punished. I don’t think they’ll be like “well you where sad :,(((“ I genuinely do think they’ll give me a serious sentence.

Maybe something like jailing him??? OR, threatening and or planning to strip him of his runes 👀

Anyways the twp needed to come out by like yesterday…

[aroace-cat-lady]

After overanalyzing the comic I've come to the conclusion the first panel IS canon (I want to kiss you, but—) and we don't know why Kit won't kiss Ty cuz it'd be a HUGE spoiler. Not need to say I'm terrified for my life.

[kitty-gray]

Am I the last person on earth to realize I have loved you and you haven't known it might mean that Ty not just did know what Kit meant with I love you, Ty, I love you but that he also regrets not saying it back? That maybe if he had, Kit wouldn't have left. That maybe, on top of the guilt he feels for the ritual, he's also carrying the guilt of not saying it back? Because maybe, just maybe, if he hadn't been so shocked by [everything that was going on at that moment] he could've stopped Kit from leaving. Maybe if he could've said it at the time, Kit would've stayed. That he thinks he lost Kit because of it. That part of his self imposed penance is related to that.

[small-angry-cat]

This is kind of baseless speculation, but this line makes me wonder if Lucifer might have an antagonist role in the Wicked Powers. It’s kind of known that the TWP is the big finale, the biggest end-all threats, so it potentially could be?

I’ll look really silly if he’s never even mentioned in TWP lol
