But neither can he allow her to command him. Pity. I have, on occasion, found that to be… quite enjoyable.

What is your unpopular shadowhunter opinions 👁️👁️

Okay listen, I don‘t truly know if it‘s an unpopular opinion since the fandom so rarely talks about it! My unpopular opinion is that I think it‘s the best if Livvy truly gets to rest in piece after TWP. To be honest, I don‘t even consider her being totally resurrected because I believe we will see her kind of losing her mind in TWP. And I think at the end of TWP, Ty will be able to let her go and say his final goodbye.

So what do you think?

I just finished watching Derry Girls and I can honestly say I think it's one of the greatest shows ever. No, fr. The jokes, the sad moments, the songs, the all the wonders of the teen show in the 90s and the overall vibe.. like it's just 20/10. I am literally so amazed. I cried my eyes out at the ending because it was so good and hopeful and happy and amazing and immaculate.

Erin, Orla, Clare, Michelle and James goodbye

I'll always love you.

Cassandra Clare returning to her vacation after traumatizing me with her "original ending"

Year So Far Book Asks: 6, 8

6. Biggest surprise

Along with Vanity Fair, some of the biggest surprises were:

I did not expect Elizabeth Gaskell's Ruth, a Victorian fallen-women novel, to be (overall) such a sweet, gentle story with such lovely atmosphere.

I did not expect that I would love reading a biography of St. Thomas Aquinas and grow to love the man as much as I did (though if anyone could pull that off, I should have expected that Chesterton could).

Charity and the Churlish Captain by Nina Clare seemed like a mindless Heyer pastiche with an annoying romance-novel heroine--and then it surprised me by giving her a surprisingly deep character arc as the characters have to learn how to deal with some pretty dark suffering.

8. Favorite new character

Ever since I finished Vanity Fair, there's a pretty good chance at any given moment that I'm thinking about Rawdon Crawley. I've long-wished Austen would have had the courage/ability to show a reformed rake, and this almost did that. His character arc was so lovely and meant so much to me. One scene of his story will forever haunt me, and I will forever wish he could have had a happier ending than he did.

“So you do want me,” Thomas said, and felt a bitter sort of gladness.

Alastair’s eyes darkened. “How can you even ask-“

soooooooooo after Thomas finally finds out that Alastair still wants him (😭🥹) and Christopher interrupts and they go to limehouse, why didn’t we get to read that????? such a missed opportunity in my opinion

Kit not even bothering with them while Alastair has his hands on Thomas sends me 💀

I just need Thomas and his thoughts going over like “OMG HE REALLY WANTS ME!!!!!!! I WASNT CRAZY, ALASTAIR WANTS ME.”

and Alastair being like “why would he think such a thing? hasn’t my behavior been normal and I think it’s quite obvious how I’ve made my intentions. Thomas should know this!!!!! he should be aware of how much I want him!!!!!”

and kit going “SCIENCE SCIENCE SCIENCE OH HOW I LOVE SCIENCE!!!!!! so many experiments to get back to! where would the world be without my contributions and science? ah that’s a scary thought.”

I think it would’ve been neat to not only include the couples together (which I think Tom and Alastair patrolling when they weren’t speaking would have also been fun to see.) but also other characters who don’t usually mix but have things in common. but I also really love Kit and Alastair bonding. they’re so different from one another and imagine the stories kit would have about Thomas 🥹

as always, it could’ve been better and I’m only reading and enduring this for thomastair 🥲

this is a little bit of a corny post, but i just really wanted to say i appreciate how much support and love i get from all my claymore art post. it really motivates me and this series means so much to me.

i first picked up this series late 2022 and became absolutely obsessed with it, but it took another year for me to get back into it, and im absolutely loving getting back into this series and looking at everyone's post and recent art for claymore. it really shows that even though the manga and anime that ended years ago with no official content for years can still thrive with fandom. every claymore fan ive seen reblog my post or comment on my post have been so nice and kind and i love talking to yall about this series.

my birthday is on the 13th and i cant guarantee i can get out a piece by then, but i'll definitely make another shitty jeanclare doodle if i can <3

thank you to all of you guys, you really keep my hyperfixation alive and i appreciate it so much.

lord the women you've put on earth to provide are thinking of a fictional detective cradling the little body of his dead daughter and then years later holding another dead child a bit bigger than the one he lost so that his friend wouldn't have to know how it feels to hold something so fragile and innocent in your arms

[jocelynships]

Everyone shut up and look at this art I got from @gible-love-nibles from a Secret Santa we did in our self ship server!!

LOOK AT HOW CUTE IT IS. AND THE FIRST EVER ART OF MY S/I AND RAY 🥺🥺🥺

[tys-kitty]

I don’t know if this is me being nit-pickey, but I really enjoyed the longer - more slicked back hair that Ty had in his updated tarot card (done by the wonderful Cassandra Jean), I wish his hair was more like in the offical arts !!!😫😫😫 it’s so cute!!!

YES YES YES! I absolutely adore Ty with longer hair. It‘s just so dark academia of him. I MEAN LOOK AT THAT GLOW UP…

If I didn‘t love Julian that much, I would definitely sue him for letting a hairdresser cut Ty‘s hair that short. And also, @cassandrajean just never misses, I mean:

I hope Kit is ready to fight because girls and boys are going to be obsessed with this man, or as Thule!Livvy said: „Ty grew up so handsome. The girls must be all over him. Or the boys.“

although it wasn't necessarily a bad thing for a date to be early, barton thought, in this scenario... it likely would've been better if regulus had shown up at his home at the agreed upon time. he was sweaty and still sort of out of breath from a run whenever he had come face-to-face with reg after all. though he wasn't mad, of course; barton was just a bit embarrassed when he'd found that his daughter had already let the other into the house once he entered it. this was because the doctor wanted regulus to only see him when he was at his best, all dressed up and smelling nice as well; but barton was probably the furthest thing from being that at that moment in his opinion.

he just remembered almost running into the bathroom after he told reg he just needed a little time to wash up, and that then he'd be out, as well as ready to go by 5:00. this would give him a little extra time to do what needed to be done: and by that, i mean barton was willing to scrub his skin raw if that's what it took just to make sure no remnants of his exercise clung to his person anymore. a sigh left barton's lips then as the scent of rain water — albeit an artificial one, originating from his body wash — permeated the air. tonight had to be perfect or barton might just throw away his chances of getting even closer to reg than he already had.

he may have become a little spaced out after starting to hum along to a tune. barton was going to get his shampoo when he felt something brush across the small of his back. he gasped a little in shock and turned around right at that moment. now, until barton realized it was regulus, he was ready to strike at whatever the thing in question was that touched him. but upon seeing it was reg, his stress had eased just a little bit. a breathy laugh had escaped from his lips, and out of sheer cheekiness, he decided to give the other person a gentle hit on the shoulder even though reg wasn't a danger to him. ❝ oh, my god. you know... whatever happened to saying 'hello,' hmm? you almost gave me a heart attack there! ❞

barton appeared to need some time to comprehend that regulus's presence there suggested that the other might have wanted him, in some capacity. a fake, thoughtful murmur escaped his lips and as he stood up, curiosity raised an eyebrow. barton's eyes traveled from reg's feet up his face as he placed a palm on his naked chest. ❝ but ahh, i suppose that can be excused for now. i am all for fooling around a bit with a handsome man like you. we've got to keep things quiet, though, alright? and i can think of one or two ways we can do that. ❞

Do you think you can do this but with Nico?

Hi Nonnie,

Totally not ignoring you, just still on vacation and service here is terrible. 🥲 Okay so do you mean like a ring camera moments? Or do you mean like 8 mini little blurbs?? Just asking for clarification before I add it to my request lists.

Fun Fact - I met some Swiss Germans last night at the club and they asked me if I knew any Swiss German and they only thing I know schetzi and they were like “that’s so random how did you learn that.” My ass even drunk was not going to admit it was because of Nico fanfiction. 🤣🤣
