I HAVE AN ANOUNCEMENT TO MAKE: First of all, I reached 90 followers! Only ten more, and I will hoist my '100 Followers Event'. I have revisited the list of 50 questions I gave you all for my previous Event and swapped out ones I already answered during the event or in passing on my blog, for brand new questions of course. Considering all the drama I had about personal questions, get ready to invade my privacy! (please be kind ^^) Secondly, I want to announce that to my list of upcoming projects (the Event and my RP blogs), I will be opening myself up for requests from fandoms outside KNB. I still want to mainly write KNB stuff as I have so much god be damned inspiration, but I want to take some requests from the other fandoms I mentioned on my blog too. Especially the dead ones. As a fellow fan, I know we are starved for content so let me give it to you! I know I can sometimes leave requests lay around in my inbox for months, but I genuinely do want them! Gimme, gimme, gimme. And well, connected to my second point, I will soon, aside from my writing schedule (headcanon-oneshot-headcanon-basic instict), be publishing my vision for TWP. To the ones familiar with The Shadowhunter Chronicles, I myself, have been a fan since the first book and made it all the way through (even the hellish ride of TLH). I love the books, yet I also see the flaws in them and Cassandra as a writer being so familiar with her works (I even got familiar with her fanfiction and read the entire Draco Trilogy). She's not as bad as an author as her haters make her out to be, but she really has some sucky areas alright. I can already predict how some of her flaws are going to show up in TWP, and as a long time fan, whilst I am excited for the trilogy and it got me through TLH- I do also want to create my own vision for the perfect ending series and avoiding some of the things I've come to dislike about her work over the years. I hope my fellow Shadowhunter fans are excited! PS: Crossovers are encouraged! -list of fandoms mentioned so far to refresh memory: TVDU Shadowhunters (both books and show) Shaman King Hyperdimension Neptunia Kiznaiver Vampire Knight ElfQuest MLB- (I don't accept requests about real people, only characters) (Also, no Harry Potter. That fandom has plenty of content, it's boring to me) (I don't write for Alice In Borderland, because whilst having seen the show I'd prefer to read the manga first before I start writing for the fandom. I DO accept requests for Alice In Borderland inspired AUs, like I did with my KNB headcanon for who'd survive Alice In Borderland).

website questions

Vanessa:

 In the past you said that Dru would have a group of friends, but you didn't want to say much because you were far from TWP, now that you've started writing, have you thought about this group (if it was maintained) could you talk a little about it, if there will be Any notable characters? and do Ty and Kit have a group of friends or colleagues? Even if they are not important in the narrative of the story, could they have appeared or been commented on in some chapter, a chapter about Ty in Scholomance and Kit in Devon?

Hi Vanessa! I totally get that you want to know everything about what happens with Kit and Ty and Dru in TWP. All I can say is that in the current draft of LKOF, neither Ty nor Dru nor Kit spends much time at school or home at all. We may meet some people they know at school, and hear about their lives before the beginning of the events of TWP. We do see other students at the Academy with Dru, and we know about Anush and Thais and even Kit's maybe-a-werewolf ex, and may hear about some of the other people Kit and Ty have encountered in the passing years, but they are not important in LKOF. Like you said, aside from Anush and Thais, they may get commented on but that's about it.

Marina: I know TLKoF is a long way off, but just out of curiosity, will Kit and Ty's romantic advance be worked on from the beginning? we might have their first kiss on TLKoF.

We might. You never know. I will say both of them know these are romantic feelings they have, not confused friendship feelings or something, and that yes, this is a romance pretty much from the beginning. For any of you that have read romances, which I'm going to guess is 100%, we all know that takes many different shapes. :)

Josué: Hey, Cassie! I'd like to know if Mina will have some kind of power like James and Lucie. She has Tessa's blood after all. And we know that Mina is too young in TWP, but there is a short chance that one day we meet her power? Thank you for your time! I love your books.

You never know! She is still quite small in TWP. Also, there is the question of the fact that Belial no longer exists and when he disappeared, Lucie and James power went with him. Now, Tessa still has some of her power so whether she passes anything along to Mina at all is to be seen.

WAIT NO WTF NO NO NO MY HEART OH NO💔

CASSIE SAID THAT KIT'S STILL MAD AT TY WHEN THEY MEET AGAIN OMGGGG NOOO, MY POOR BABYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭 (I knew it but still crying)

[witchlingcirce]

One thing I’ve really enjoyed about the TWP flower cards is the meaning behind each flower choice. I feel as tho they’ve been longer and more literal than other series ones. And I kind of want to do a deep dive on what they mean

Obviously we need to start off we THE main character of the series miss Dru Blackthorn.

The fact that her flower is mountain ash and the wording is “With me you are safe” obviously implies her known love interest: Ash Morgenstern. I think this entire thing implies that Ash will find safety and comfort within Dru. This is a really fundamental thing with Ash’s character as his has consistently been around and placed with people who are quite insane, and so I feel as though this implies to us seeing Ash’s vulnerable side.

HOWEVER, this is not about Ash since it’s Dru’s flower card (YEAH… get outta here wanna be Targaryen). I have a feel that the “You are safe with me” can have a lot of other implications. I think the idea that others such as Ash and Thais find safety in Dru would mean a lot to her, especially since she’s a character we’ve seen get pushed to the side lines a lot. So I think others finding safety within her is very a meaningful thing and also shows how she has grown as a person that cannot only take her of herself, but also others.

I also think it could be a self reflection thing. Cassandra has confirmed that Dru will be suffering with panic attacks due to the trauma from the events of the dark artifices. And so I feel as tho the “you are safe with me” could be speaking to herself, almost reassuring herself that she is safe within herself and her own body. So I feel like it also represents a show of finding a lot of self love within herself. Which I think will be a wonderful character arc for her.

GUYS I love Dru and I can’t wait to see how her arc progresses in TWP<3

oh fuck i just thought about the angsty kitty scenes we’ll get when one of them mentions something that has happened to them while they were apart and then the other thinks they’re strangers who no longer know each other like they did three years ago 💔

[perpetualprocrastinationisme]

Mark came up to his brothers then, and Ty turned to look at him. Kit heard him say: "I wasn't sure you would come back." Mark laid his hand on his brother's shoulder, and spoke gruffly. "I'll always come back to you, Tiberius. I am sorry if I ever led you to believe anything else." - Lord of Shadows

Mark's sibling relationship with Ty is my everything ♥️ I hope we get to see glimpses of it in TWP. Like, how even though Ty resurrected Livvy and may have set off unimaginable chain of events, Mark will always come back to him, no matter what.

[d4rkshad0w]

thinking about the fact that Kit will go down in history makes me so happy, he’s the last heir to Princess Auraline and may or may not rule all of Faerie in or after twp. either way he’s already super involved with Faerie for him to be forgotten. i hope that generations of shadowhunters are learning about Kit decades after the events of twp.

[a-random-insomniac]

I KNOW THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A SCENE IN TWP WHERE THEY HAVE TO GET CHANGED FOR AN EVENT AND EVERYONE IS GOING TO BE HAVING A (gay) PANIC

[tycarstairs]

ready to fight for my life for ty blackthorn when twp is released because the way people are already infantilizing and patronizing him bc he’s autistic is so….

no one asked for this but i’ve seen a lot of people have weird takes on his autism so as an autistic woman i need to clear some things up ok 😭 so buckle up, this is gonna be a long one (seriously, it’s long)

the main arguments i’ve seen are: (i’m paraphrasing here btw)

“ty didn’t cry when livvy died but he did cry when kit said he wished he’d never known him so it’s clear that he does love kit.”

and

“ty clearly loves kit because he cried when they argued and it’s hard for autistic people to cry.”

and

“ty gets on my nerves because he didn’t react at all when kit told him he loved him”

like. i do get what you’re saying (with the first one. not the second one, that’s a stereotype, and also not the third one bc that’s just weird), because it does show that ty cares but like. obviously? all his actions before that showed that he cared too.

saying “he cried when him and kit fought but not when livvy died” just comes off as acting like he’s more upset about kit leaving and insulting him than he is about kit dying and that just rubs me the wrong way.

i know this is not common knowledge but autistic people often have delayed processing, especially when we’re grieving because it can be so overstimulating and even when we do grieve, it’s not gonna look the same as when an allistic person grieves.

so, delayed processing:

delayed processing in autism is where you are recording/aknowledge events as they happen, however that information is stored elsewhere in the brain and isn't taken in.

once the brain is ready or has capacity the information is suddenly taken in. this could be hours, weeks, days or even months later.

an example (from justkeepstimming_ on instagram):

An autistic person whose mother died at quite a young age. At the time, when his father was grieving, it did not appear the autistic son was upset.

However, one year after his mother's death, he suddenly processed that she was gone (permanently) and only then started the grieving process.

that example is pretty much exactly what happened with ty in qoaad.

partly, ty didn’t cry when livvy died because he didn’t accept that she was dead. he was so sure that he was gonna bring her back and for a long time, he probably didn’t even consider the fact that he might fail.

after livvy dies, kit says this:

“Everyone had been terrified. Ty would fall apart, they’d thought. Kit remembered Julian standing over Ty as he slept, one hand stroking his brother’s hair, and he’d been praying—Kit didn’t even know Shadowhunters prayed, but Julian definitely had been. Ty would crumble in a world without his sister, they’d all thought; he’d fall away to ashes just like Livvy’s body.”

if ty were allistic, he probably would have reacted like this immediately. and he does react like this eventually when his brain fully processes that the ritual didn’t work, that livvy is actually not coming back:

“Livvy!” Ty didn’t scream the word so much as it was ripped from him; he curled up, hugging himself, as if desperate to keep his body from shattering apart.”

this is when ty actually processes that his sister is gone. so saying, “ty didn’t cry when his sister died but he cried when him and kit fought” as if it’s some really romantic thing that he was sadder about kit leaving than livvy dying (which is not true) is just iffy because it’s such a stereotype and a misconception that autistic people don’t seem to care at all when people die, and way too many people from this fandom are feeding into that so much.

and ty does show is grieving throughout qoaad but because it’s not in the allistic way, a lot of readers don’t recognize it.

(i was actually so positively surprised to see that cassandra clare, an allistic woman, wrote the grieving process for an autistic character—and everything else about being autistic tbh—so well but it gives me so much hope for twp)

for example, autistic people (this is obviously not all autistic people as all autistic people are different but i'm just listing the signs i've seen in ty in qoaad) when they're grieving might show their grief gradually in more subtle ways by hurting themselves, emotionally or physically, which ty does do:

"The only person he was unkind to, Kit thought, was himself."

and we also see in gotsm that ty is continuously punishing himself because he is still grieving. livvy is simultaneously there and dead, and ty has to live with both the grief of her death and the guilt of her being stuck as a ghost.

there's also the fact that kit observes that ty starts keeping secrets and doing things alone, which is also common when trying to process emotions that haven’t fully caught up yet:

“In the past days, though, since Julian and Emma had woken up, Ty had been harder to find. If he was working on something, he hadn’t included Kit in it—a thought that hurt with surprising intensity.”

like. ty is pulling away because he is trying to process everything that’s happening. him excluding kit is very likely a symptom of some kind of delayed grief because it’s very unlike him to exclude kit from anything, as we can see when he says multiple times outright that he doesn’t want to do things without kit.

just because it’s more subtle than breaking down into tears doesn’t mean that he doesn’t feel it at all. it’s more likely that he simply feels too much and is shutting down because of it.

and of course his grief is gonna be subtle when he hasn’t even accepted and processed the fact that she’s dead yet.

and yes, he cried when kit told him he wished he’d never met him but that is so different because there was no room for denial. kit told him that word for word, the processing wasn’t delayed this time because there wasn’t really that much to process.

ty truly believed right away that his only friend wished he had never known him, and when livvy died he didn’t accept that she was dead. those things are different and pitting them against each other is weird.

so, onto the second argument/misconception i’ve seen that:

“ty clearly loves kit because he cried when they argued and it’s hard for autistic people to cry.”

this is a misconception stemming from the stereotype that autistic people are emotionless. yes, some autistic people might have a harder time crying because of shutdowns etc. but generalizing it to it’s hard for autistic people to cry is just wrong, especially because this has never been implied about ty in the text.

in fact, it’s the opposite:

“Ty heard everything twice as loud and fast as everyone else. The headphones and the music, Kit sensed, were a buffer: They deadened not just other noises, but also feelings that would otherwise be too intense. They protected him from hurt.

He couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to live so intensely, to feel things so much, to have the world sway into and out of too-bright colors and too-bright noises. When every sound and feeling was jacked up to eleven, it only made sense to calm yourself by concentrating all your energy on something small that you could master—a mass of pipe cleaners to unravel, the pebbled surface of a glass between your fingers.”

so implying that it’s harder for ty to either cry or feel sad is just wrong. kit notes that “every sound and feeling was jacked up to eleven”, and this includes ty’s grief. him not crying when livvy died has nothing to do with how much he may or may not be feeling and everything to do with how delayed his processing was.

and the third complaint of ty is frustrating because he didn’t react when kit told him he loved him.

first of all, i don’t know if it’s my autistic ass not understanding allistic people but is it not normal to be in shock when someone tells you they love you in the middle of a necromancy ritual???

and second of all, this scene from city of heavenly fire where julian says “i know it’s hard to understand, ty, but we love you” like it’s supposed to explain their actions and ty reacts like this:

Ty looked at him blankly. He knew what “I love you” meant, and he knew it was good, but he didn’t understand why it was an explanation for anything.”

ty looking at kit blankly in surprise in qoaad is not him “not reacting”, it’s him trying to process 1) what that has to do with anything and 2) why that would be an explanation or an argument as to why ty should stop the ritual.

(it is probably also partly because ty thought kit had feelings for livvy at this point but that’s just speculation so i won’t get into it now)

to kit, this was probably his way of saying that because he loves him, ty can stop the ritual and kit will help him with the aftermath.

to ty, kit’s confession made no sense in that moment because why would kit loving him mean that he should stop the ritual? and this was most likely also the moment when his grief was really starting to kick in, so that just adds to it.

yeah idk if anyone made it to the end but as you can tell, i have a lot to say and i’m tired of people romanticizing ty’s grief.

[bookishjules]

honestly our wait for twp isn't as crazy as how long the characters will have had to wait to have their story told. like the events of twp will have taken place eleven (11) years before we ever hear of them. people are dead. the shadowhunter world is irrevocably changed. and they've had a decade to get used to it all. meanwhile us mundanes haven't a clue.
