Do you think Kit and Ty are going to work out in TWP? I just want to believe they do but after the letter I'm not sure. As one of the biggest kitty fans I think you need to asure us
I have to tell you (as one of the biggest kitty fans ofc) that I never once believed that Kit and Ty wouldnāt be endgame. Before I take a bit of a closer look at the characters themselves, letās have look at it from a writerās perspective:
1) Cassie has been hinting Kit and Ty since they met in that basement in Lady Midnight (which btw was 8 years ago?!). And throughout Lord of Shadows and Queen of Air and Darkness, it became really clear that she intends for them to be lovers.
2) Since Cassie has been hinting KitTy for over 8 years now and it is one of the fandoms most popular uncanon ships, itās not possible that she wonāt make them endgame (which would cause an uproar in the fandom)
As from the character perspective: Kit and Ty werenāt ready for a relationship after QoAaD. They are both in a place where they need to understand who they are and properly process everything that had happened. And since the letter takes place shortly after QoAaD, itās only logical that Kit still has super strong feelings about everything that happened - he hasnāt processed anything yet. So when Kit and Ty meet again after 3 years apart, I just know that they will finally be at a place where they understand each other and are ready for each other.

āThomas could have anyoneā, said Alastair, with a righteously moping air. āHe could choose better than me.ā
I know I go on and on and on about Alastair pov but I feel like when we hear stuff he says, itās just not enough. I want to hear his thoughts why he thinks heās not good enough for Thomas. I donāt care what Cordelia is thinking. I want Alastair thoughts.
āThomas believes his friends would accept me with open arms; I believe they would sooner abandon him. What a terrible situation that would be for him. I cannot allow it.ā- Alastair a few sentences above. I hear the words he says but itās still unfair to never provide a pov (except for one page) of his thoughts. he has so much adoration and admiration for Thomas that in the previous scene they had, heās almost making this decision for Thomas. but I donāt think Alastair realizes who Thomasās friends really are. itās all blocked by their bad history and thatās why Iāll always be mad about never getting his bloody thoughts
Alastair is one of the most complex fascinating characters in TLH. he has so much trauma with Elias, how heās protected Cordelia all his life and hides a huge part of who he is. Alastair has had one relationship and that was with Charles. but I still want his thoughts and feelings of why he assumes Thomasās friends would abandon Thomas if they knew he was with Alastair romantically. is it their bad feud? is he so stuck on who matthew and James were in school? is it because he thinks so badly of himself? why he thinks heās not good enough. where those emotions stem from- his childhood, having to hide with Charles, and never feeling good enough for Charles or anyone. he lost his father at a young age and lets admit, Elias was dead to him years before he died. there is a bunch of racist shit and behavior happening to him at school and he later gets labeled as a bully because he decided not to be bullied.
and does anyone find it upsetting that whenever we finally get into the thomastair stuff, it lasts a page if that and then it goes back to James and Cordelia? I JUST WANT ALASTAIR AND THOMASāS FUCKING THOUGHTS OKAY? we just missed out on so much. the dinner scene, hardly any scenes with sona, just everything Alastair goes through with his childhood and Thomas.
Iām not okay with whenever thomastair has a scene, itās almost always ruined with some Cordelia and James nonsense. or when CC writes an lgbtq+ couple and a straight person who has no business being the pov is the pov. itās seriously so inconsiderate that we didnāt get more thomastair and Alastair pov. but at least it was written better than book Malec. I JUST WANT MORE THOMASTAIR
#anti cassandra clare#anti cc#just my stupid opinions#thomas lightwood#Alastair carstairs#for fucks sake I havenāt done these tags in months#but I have more TLH content to bitch about and more TID stuff#thomastair#thomastair deserved better#imagine the thomastair content#thank you thomastair for making me endure this whole series just for you#I love thomastair so Iāll endure and appreciate what I got but IM STILL MAD#you wouldnāt believe how many pages I have numbered just so I can write about it lmao

Only toxic fans act out over a minor character death, children have died in the series younger than him. She can kill of who she wants itās her characters.
lmao ok anon hate me for being sad abt a character's death because it totally impacts you what i think. i am entitled to my opinion about the book, i dont see how that's toxic but maybe im just dumb ?
if you dont wanna see my content abt said character's death you can mute or block me i really dont care :)
honestly i think it says more about toxic fans that youd say im acting out while youre hiding behind a little gray orb with glasses than it does abt me having human emotions š
(guys apparently im acting out now LMAO)
#anon hate#heh my first hate message thank you for doing me the honor#chain of thorns#chain of thorns spoilers#chot spoilers#cot spoilers#honestly i got a good laugh out of this#scarlett's ask box#scarlett talks#chot#the last hours#cassandra clare#guys apparently im a toxic fan how come no one warned me about this before#alright ill stop now lol i know im not funny apparently since this person needed to make a point to tell me im acting out :)#i genuinely found this hilarious thank you for that

What is your unpopular shadowhunter opinions šļøšļø
Okay listen, I donāt truly know if itās an unpopular opinion since the fandom so rarely talks about it! My unpopular opinion is that I think itās the best if Livvy truly gets to rest in piece after TWP. To be honest, I donāt 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?
#let me know what you think!#thank you so so much for this ask<33#cassandra clare#ty blackthorn#livvy blackthorn#kit herondale#twp#the wicked powers#dru blackthorn

the emphasis on shipping in fandom culture is so wild to me to consider because like. there are certain things in jatp that I ship very emphatically, but I literally wrote myself into shipping them. when I was writing my first fics in the fandom, I didnāt plan for julie/luke/reggie or flarrie. I expected willex, because the show gave us that and gave me plenty of vibes to goĀ āok they like each other and would work together in the long termā. but especially with noncanon ships I always find myself stumbling into them as I plan or write a fic. I do sometimes set out to write a romance, but thatās usually when Iāve been in a fandom for a while and knowĀ āok I like these dynamics and have had thoughts about shipping them in previous works, letās dig into that.ā and then Iām always writing like itās a persuasive essay! like there are people reading who arenāt convinced about the ship, and I have to show my work.
even working with ocs itās like,Ā āok I made this guy to be a friend for this character, but also I think that this particular dynamic would probably lead to romance and/or sexā (this thought brought to you by me knowing I havenāt touched my Jesse Lives au in forever) - actually I would say with ocs itās mostĀ important because holy hell nobody is going to be automatically invested in your ocās romantic or sexual life but you. you have to do a lot of legwork on that one unless your only intent is more of a reader insert vibe where ppl can imagine intimacy with their favourite character, which means they donāt care about your oc so much as they care about being able to project anyway. they already know why theyād be into this canon character. you donāt need to do anything there (which to be clear you do you, that just holds very little appeal for me for various reasons. live your dreams my friends)
and itās just weird to me that people will write things where. itās characters who donāt interact much. and then they donāt put any effort into making the reader ship it? they jump straight to āboth characters are yearning and have been since they metā because theyĀ ship it, and they donāt require buildup, and Iām likeĀ ābut how did you get here. why does it matter that theyāre doing these things for each other.ā and a lot of it tends to be a lack of deep characterisation, so it could be any two guys being gay (or. any ship. iām maybe thinking about Certain Popular Gay Ships in fandom but also calling out baby meās destiel obsession specifically. itās fine no judgment but also fandom has a white gay man problem and that is a different post entirely) - and a lot of it also seems to be like. allosexual people (I assume from uhhh sexytime context clues) and definitely alloromantic people thinking that attraction alone is the legwork. like thereās nothing else to prove about a relationship. they like each other, boom, romance.
when youāre writing a romance, you donāt just have to have the characters woo each other (which. as a reader of both fic romance and original, published romances, let me tell you a lot of writers donāt even do that) - you have to make the ship woo the readers. draw us in. prove to us in word and action that these two care, make each other better (or worse, I write some toxic codependent shit too), that there is some reason to want them together and not settle for whatever preexisting dynamic they have. why does it matter that these people are in love? why are these obstacles worth overcoming? what does it add to a non-romance story to have this ship in it?
I would like romances that romance me, damn it
#i was very mad the other day because i was reading a cassandra clare i hadn't read before and ended up like.#actually invested in the fucking love triangle? obscene. she is cruel to me. but that's how you DO it!#like. she showed me the dynamics and reasons why both guys would be good with the girl. i made my choice based on personal preference but#i'm also tense about it because maybe the mc has different preferences than me! that's how you woo a reader!#anyway no it's not infernal devices bc that was clearly a polyamorous relationship where jem and will are qpps. next question#god i said i wouldn't ever shadowhunterpost again sorry about these tags folks#anyway thank you for coming to my tedtalk i'm right. i'll fucking ship anything (...ish) if you write it right#(i think you can fill in the ish for yourselves bc my hangups are common hangups)

Absolutely. I hated Grace's poorly written redemption arc, but it still shocked me they didn't ended up together. I'm writing my ideal version of TWP in a similar way Cassandra wrote the Draco trilogy (the trilogy actually gave me the idea to do what she did), and one of the things that I noted down for the first time I tried to make a draft before the last TLH book was written was how I wanted to break the chain of couples getting spared. It are always the people who are single that die and the couples always live happily ever after. Having been apart of the fandom since City of Bones got translated into my language (Dutch), it has gotten a bit tiring. So when Christopher was killed despite him and Grace being set up to become a couple and live their happily ever after, I was shocked. For the first time, Cassandra had the balls to burn one of her ships down and it was gloriously painful. To me, Kit's death is amongst the best scenes in TLH. I didn't knew what to do, cry because Christopher was one of my favorites or just stare at the page with my mouth hanging open in shock. And yes, to my TWP readers, I won't be sparing ships! I'm too much of a pirate, my literary cannonballs will wreck a few.
Iām just gonna say itā¦
Christopher Lightwood was the worst, the saddest, the hardest death to get through that Cassie has ever written.
More than Livvy or George Lovelace. Christopher was the closest to the main characters, if not a main character himself, part of a solid group and actually had a future laid out for him (his inventions, Grace) and it was stolen from him.
Christopher Lightwood deserved better. Ave Atque Vale, Kit.
(because no one in the book said it for you)
