#and this is JUST THE PREFACE

[slyandthefamilybook]

In the one month following the publication of Portrait of a Jew, while people were telling me that I was exaggerating, several events occured which unfortunately confirmed my doubts. In Argentina the swastika was carved on the thighs of a few Jewish students. In England neo-Nazi meetings were held in which "Jews get out" was heard again. In America they continued to pillage the synagogues: twenty-five in two years. Here and there the Fascist International was being brought to life. And in North Africa, one of those great historic migrations of a Jewish community in its quasi-totality began. Of course, they were in a hurry to explain that all that was without significance and of no importance. Moreover, the English Fascists were, it seems, dispersed by the country people themselves; the Argentine government promised to punish the guilty parties; the African refugees were welcomed. What did we have to complain about? Of not much, effectively, except this: in the final analysis Jewish history in the Diaspora continued to repeat itself to an astonishing degree...

1st image is stolen from Twitter, 2nd and 3rd are stolen from my instagram. As someone that was excited for Ibuki, I was disappointed (but as a HiiroP and just Amagi bro fan, unsurprised) and it was egregious enough to need to demand change. As a RyuseitaiP, this hurts me so deeply. These are the characters I can see myself most in, the unit based on holding onto what you love and never letting go of it, and protecting it. Shinobu would not wave it off, his unit wouldn’t wave it off. Not only does it mischaracterize Shinobu, but it a way that mischaracterizes the rest of the unit.

Give the superhero unit their autism back, let him love his interest deeply and cry when it’s hurt or taken away. Let us love enstars deeply and cry when you hurt it, Happy Elements.

oouhhhh I'm dying of artblock. so I'm forcing myself to draw things that look shitty DEAD EMMET AU SAVE ME. SAVE ME DEAD EMMET AU.

basics of this au; Ingo was missing(in Hisui) for eight years, and in that time, Emmet spent it not coping well to the point he gave himself a heart problem from the stress.

Complications from a seizure and stress caused him to die in his home.

Normally that would be fucked up and bad; but what makes it worse, is that a month after Emmet dies, Ingo reappears back at the subway and tries to stitch himself back into the old life he didn't know, and have to deal with grieving a guy who has been with him for most of his life but he doesn't even know.

But Emmet is verrrrrry much not gone.

anyways. I them. this au is a bit more ingo focused than what I normally drift around because I like Emmet soooooo much. I'm going to throw more thoughts down.

Despite dying in their apartment, Emmet wanders around Gear Station; its where he spent most of his time and where Ingo disappeared. He, as a ghost, is looking for Ingo still, thinking it will cause things to go back to normal.

Emmet isn't really sentient in the month between his death and Ingo's return. He's aimlessly wandering in through the station and the tunnels calling for him and asking if people have seen him, but he can't really interact well. Sometimes he's spotted or heard. He's probably talked to passengers and been seen on trains, with many excuses.

Chandelure can see and interact with Emmet as soon as he appears at the station. She would wander the tunnels to keep him company in the month after he dies.

When Ingo does return, something clicks and he is actually aware. He has a lot more control of what he can do and isn't stuck in some foggy limbo of conscious.

Emmet finds out he can posses Ingo, which he uses to polish up duties he thinks Ingo needs help with. Sometimes he just wants to jump in for a battle.

Elesa and the other depot agents are not happy about the possessions. Elesa thinks Ingo is pulling a joke in bad taste(because I mean you didn't know the guy but he was your brother and he's fucking dead), and the agents get really uncomfortable.

Before Ingo knows about him being a ghost, the possessions feel like a lapse of time that he is only vaugely aware of. After Ingo and Emmet meet in the tunnels, Ingo can boot him out and communicate with him.

First two images are after Ingo comes back but before they meet, and the third one is before Ingo is back.

SCRATCHES HEAD. I don't really have much on any actual stuff. I'd love to do a comic or perhaps a fic but I have the horrible disease of not knowing how to panel things in a way I can achieve and the other illness of not writing often. whatever. I am a big fan of au though. I think it's neat. hopefully I'll be out of artblock soon enough to do more shit about it. I lot a lot of little scenarios I'd like to draw out

I'm also going to @emmyet because you're sooooo nicies and soooo polite and got me to draw multiples things with oneeee swag reply. hiiii helloooooooooo (CHEERFUL WAVE)

I do kinda wish Tatiana was overall a better villain and character because I think she has the potential to offer alot of nuance but… she’s just kinda meh.

Anyways to *not* be a hater I think Tatiana is the most effected Lightwood sibling from there fathers abuse and neglect. She’s also the only Lightwood sibling to have never met there mother. And on this note: it means the only warm Tatiana has ever felt, is from her abusive father. In SOBH (and some parts of CP2) it implies that Benedict was shaping her into this role to only be a wife and also to gain certain powers for the Lightwood house. Her marriage to Rupert (which to Tatiana is her only source of happiness) was something malicious made from Benedict.

And on this note: her story in CP2 is also just a nightmare story. She’s SIXTEEN and PREGNANT and her husband was just murdered RIGHT after there honeymoon and than also her father (IMO the story sets it up that this is the family member she’s the closest to) is also murdered. Like hello??? Is this not a nightmare?

Anyways; I’m not really trying to say that Tatiana is a good person and the statue of kindness, because she’s not. I just think her story could have been a more interesting take on the cycle abuse, which could have made a good parallel that her brothers, Gideon and Gabriel where able to break it, while Tatiana could not. The way she treats Grace, moulding her into what she wants and what she needs is exactly what Benedict did to her. I mean Grace in CHOT is very reflective of Tatiana in cp2 too as well.

Anyways RIP Tatiana Lightwood you could have been cooler villain

Also, this quote that she says in the midnight heir is like the epitome of her characters and I really like it —> “My husband is dead, my father is dead, my brothers are lost, my home was stolen, and the Nephilim had no power to save my son. I was everything I was ever asked to be, and as my reward my life was burned to ash. Do not speak to me of easing my pain. My pain is all I have left. Do not speak to me of being a Shadowhunter. I am not one of them. I refuse to.”

"You weakened me!" By Ambessa is not a declaration of apathy! It is not her blaming Mel! It is when Mel finally learns that her mother isn't apathetic to her, that she isn't disinterested in her fate or disappointing in her, but instead she loved her too much and too deeply. That Mel threatened Ambessa with ruination, because the only way Ambessa has ever known to survive is by embracing brutality and sacrificing a peaceful death, while all Mel has ever wanted is peace. That a peaceful death would have literally meant the death of her child, back when she was still pregnant with one of them!

And Mel's disapproval of her meant that Ambessa could feel herself tumbling into a path of peace. Into a better path, maybe, but a path that for Ambessa has only ever meant death. If she could be more hardhearted, maybe she could have kept both - her family's survival, and her daughter - but alas. Her sending Mel away is not a failure on Mel's part, but in fact a failure on Ambessa's - because she could not withstand the arrows of her disapproval, now she needs to come to Piltover to collect her before whatever older enemies she has catch up with them both. She comes to Piltover to correct that mistake, to show Mel a harder heart, and yet! It's doeesn't work! Because Mel still demands of her vulnerability and she cannot help giving it to her!

Is there no greater expression of love, for her? To even contemplate opening herself up to that which is deadly, for the sake of the life and soul of her daughter? Is there nothing so undoing?
