#the shadowhunter's codex

[omgserafinablog]

In the history of Shadowhunters, women have always been warriors on a par with men, but at some point in the 20th century, women mostly took care of the house and children. Was there really a time when there were so many shadowhunters that they decided to weed out most of them?

We finally see Henry's super-secret weapon that was alluded to in the Shadowhunter's Codex used in the The Wicked Powers or we riot.

of all the characters who could have introduced ash to modern society (and shadowhunter society) at large, kit ty and dru are definitely the funniest group to do so

Do I want to be a Shadowhunter? Yes.

Would I also die on my first day of training? Also yes.

I would probably fall off a beam in the training room or something.

I wish Disney would release “The Unauthorized Boiling Isles History” book but with some annotations like commentary, doodle, or notes from TOH characters like Luz, Eda, or Lilith

the relationship between ty and Julian is just especial in so many ways.

“And there is Jules. You might like him the best. He is the one who takes care of us all. He is the reason we're all okay and still together. I don't think he knows we know that, but we do. Sometimes he might tell us what to do or not listen, but he would do anything for any of us. People say we're unlucky because we don't have parents. But I think they're unlucky because they don't have a brother like mine.” 

(the way I sobbed reading ty letter, I had to reread)

sometimes i think about writing in my copy of the shadowhunter’s codex but i’m so worried about messing it up

[marrr444]

I would like to be a Shadowhunter just so I can throw in some witty and smart lines while killing demons.

...mainly to tell a demon they are stupid in ancient Greek.

[wessasbitch]

sometimes I remember that Magnus Bane literally appeared in every single book of the shadowhunter chronicles and no, I'm not talking about trilogies, I mean every book (it's subtle, but we can find him also in the codex) and I just realized how he really is the supreme main character of all time
