We’ve been talking a lot about Sadie and like as we should she did an amazing job, but I think we should give Dylan a LOT more credit for how amazing he was. Knowing that a lot of the fight scene was improv makes my respect for him as an actor skyrocket. He was so believable and he pulled it off awesomely. I just want everyone to pls give him a round of applause thank you.

“There’s this scene where there is one very tense scene between the two of them, and they were so electric and improvising a lot of what they were doing, that we just couldn’t take the camera off them. We couldn’t cut, we couldn’t edit. So there’s a very long one-take, one-camera shot that lasts for a very long time, and when you’re watching it, you don’t note that. You don’t realize that because they are so magnetic.” - TAYLOR SWIFT on Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.

Emma to Dru

Dear Dru,

Hey, baby bat! So how’s Shadowhunter Academy? Still having a good time? How’s the roommate — Thais, isn’t that her name? How’s having a roommate? I always kinda wished I’d gotten to go to SA, although obviously the weather was better in California. But you like things dark and gloomy! Just, you know – try to get some sun sometimes, okay? While I know you love your ghostly pallor, vitamin D is a real thing.

Not that we’re getting any sun here in Chiswick, where England is being fully England with the weather. I guess it goes with the house, though. You’re going to love this place when you see it, by the way. It’s the most goth building you’ve ever seen. The whole place is full of crumbling statues and faded wallpaper with creepy stains and a LOT of these dark brambles—

Huh, I guess it makes sense there are a lot of black thorns at Blackthorn Manor. Still, they’re a huge pain to cut back. Why didn’t your ancestors go with something less pointy? This was owned by Lightwoods for years, why no light woods? We may never know.

(I always forget about the Lightwoods because I think of it as Blackthorn Manor but I found a diary of a girl who grew up here, hidden under one of the floorboards. Like way back in the 1870s. She’s just a normal Shadowhunter teenager of the time, complaining about boring history lessons and obnoxious older brothers. Normal stuff! She’s about 13 in the part I’m reading but it goes for a few years. Her name was Tatiana Lightwood, I wonder if Isabelle and Alec have heard of her?)

Anyway, Jules is working hard on de-spookying the place, but trust me, it’ll still be gothier than a ripped fishnet whenever you get to see it. It’s going to be ages before we’re done with all the hallways full of empty birdcages and decaying books. This house is big. And extremely busted.

Also . . . haunted. At first I think we were both in denial. It was just weird moving shadows, cold spots in places — if this was one of your mundane movies, we’d still be arguing about what was going on. But we’re Shadowhunters. We know ghosts exist. And we finally broke down and admitted to each other that there’s definitely one in this house. Somebody’s moving small objects around and playing the piano off in the distance… low, haunting bits of sweet music we can both hear. But here’s the thing — the only piano here isn’t even playable. It rotted through a long time ago.

So, we have a ghost. But they don’t seem definitely or even particularly hostile. It could just be a bitty poltergeist, or a passing unquiet spirit. I’ve just started going through papers and it’s obvious Some Stuff Went Down Here at some point, lots of weird references to demons and bindings. (Oh, I’m putting a thing aside for you, it’s a taxidermied raven covered in flowers, I think it used to be part of a really extra hat.) So the potential for unquiet spirits is definitely there. One more thing to deal with along with the need for all new drains. (What, exactly, are drains?)

Anyway, I can’t wait to see you and oh no, I spent most of the letter telling you about the house but I really do want to hear about the Academy and your roommate and teachers, like is Catarina there? What about Ragnor? Have you seen Jaime lately? Tell me everything!

XOXO

Emma

PS I just found out who Tatiana Lightwood thought was the cutest boy in London. Will Herondale. Wasn’t that the guy Tessa was married to, a long time ago? Would she think this was funny? I mean, it’s kind of funny. Always a Herondale, you know?

"will herondale would never come back as a ghost because he had no unfinished business"

idk about u but "my wife and my platonic soulmate were both immortal when i died" sounds pretty fuckign unfinished to me

We should appreciate Cassandra Clare more.

Can you imagine the amount of effort Cassandra Clare puts in her books? Every single book is filled with literary, historic and religious references, mentions of various cultures and foreign languages that I am sure needed a lot of research that took so much time. 

- There are so many characters with different nationalities such as Cordelia, Alastair and Sona who are Persian, Cristina, Jaime and Diego who are Mexican, Jem Carstairs who is Chinese and Celine Montclaire  who is French. Throughout the books they often speak their mother tongue and those parts are written with help of speakers of those specific languages. Their overall cultures and language are reflected very well throughout the books. 

- The entire Infernal Devices series is based on A Tale Of Two Cities.

- The titles of the stories from Ghosts of The Shadow Market are references to novels, poems, proverbs etc. 

- The chapter titles of Lady Midnight are from the poem “Annabel Lee”. 

- Characters such as Will and Jace can quote from any literary or religious text.

- The locations of the books such as Devil Tavern and Chiswick House from The Last Hours and Hidden Treasures from Lady Midnight and so many more are real places. Cassandra Clare has visited most of them and writes the descriptions accordingly. 

- The route Will takes in Clockwork Princess as he goes to save Tessa was mapped and most of the inns he visited and roads he took were real. 

- The excerpts from Layla and Majnun from The Last Hours were taken from the 1836 translation because it is said that’s the one Cordelia would have owned. 

If you skip the “Notes on the text” part at the end of the books like I used to I suggest you read it to understand how much effort has been put into the book you have read, now that I have the books are much more valuable and important to me. I think Cassandra Clare is more than just a young adult fiction author and those books aren’t simply young adult fantasy novels. There is real passion and effort behind them and they and the author should be appreciated more.
