Movie Review | 'Beneath Us All'

Returning to indie horror once again, filmmaker Harley Wallen (Ash and Bone 2022 – read our review here) and his production team Painted Creek Productions go vampire with their latest feature Beneath Us All. Putting a unique spin on a classic monster, this tale shows evil blood-suckers aren’t always found in fictious stories. Opening in Scandinavia during the year 912 AD, a child goes missing…

whoops it's been a year and a half and i finally made references for all my tavs

[amrubrum]

in another universe jonathan and clary would have been spoiled, rich old money shadowhunter kids who lived next door to stephen and celine herondale as they raised an equally spoiled and sassy jace. they would’ve been with the lightwoods too. they all would attend idris academy and had the best times messing around with each other. oh what could’ve been

Black Sails with SparkNotes tweets: I make myself laugh I make myself cry

[ijosten03]

I honestly love with all my heart that Magnus calls Alec “Alexander”, it’s somehow something so dear to me since everyone calls him Alec, but Magnus calls him by his full name, because he loves all of him

recent comms!!

[alesardesign]

Not so gentle reminder that Alec said this in City of Ashes while he was going to rescue Jace because he thought that since he was gay he wouldn’t deserve to be buried there like other shadowhunters. He probably thought he was going to be buried somewhere at an intersection. Excuse me while I go cry.

the wicked powers theory

more specifically, the last shadowhunter theory

so, i was rereading city of bones and i stumbled upon this:

and i immediately thought “okay, this could be it”, because now they know they can pass through the warding. so maybe that possibility of blocking the entrance of the demons is something cassie will explore in tls, even more possible if we believe the title is literal (which i initially refused to believe when i first started to think about this theory, and it took me a while to sort of wrap my head around it, because being shadowhunters is who they are, you know?)

so the last shadowhunter could be referring to them getting rid of demons by blocking their entrance, and with that it is possible for them to stop being shadowhunters, because there are no more shadows to hunt. (because i’ve been seeing some people say she might kill all shadowhunters, and unless that happens in an alternate dimension, i highly doubt she would do that to end the saga, i believe it would be meaningless to do something like that)

cob also kept me mentioning shadowhunters as “a dying breed”, so it would be sort of fitting to circle it back and dwell on it for the last book

like i said, i was initially reluctant to accept this theory, but then jace says this in cob:

and i was like “shit, he’s right”. i mean, them being shadowhunters is important to me because that’s the role they play in the shadow world to me, you know? but for them, it’s a job. sure, some of them enjoy it, but maybe they could just be nephilim, just as werewolves, vampires, fey and warlocks just are. still, it was hard to totally embrace because i thought “if they don’t kill demons, then aren’t they just like mundanes?”, and i still don’t have an answer to that worry.

but the theory kept getting louder in my head because cob has constant reminders of the disadvantages of being a shadowhunter, all the ugly parts of it, how they’re in some way chained to that life of “scars and killing”.

additional note: i was telling my theory to my sister, and how i don’t want to believe they stop being shadowhunters, and she told me “it’s the end of an era, bby. if they stop being shadowhunters it would tie the books up perfectly. the era (saga) ends when they stop being shadowhunters”. and i asked her what the characters were supposed to do if that happened, and she said “there are always more and better things to do, and there are definitely better things than killing demons” and it helped me sort of accept and embrace this theory even more, but i did cry when she told me that, and she just laughed at me :)

Timeline of the Mortal Instruments part I

I'm trying to write fanfiction based on Mortal Instruments, and as usual, I'm doing research and need a timeline of events. I couldn't find one that was detailed enough, so I made my own. And I'm sharing it right here.

It covers the books City of Bones, City of Ashes, and City of Glass.

-----------------

August 15

Clary is in Pandemonium with Simon and sees Jace, Isabel, and Alec kill a demon

It's Clary's 16th birthday, which she celebrates at midnight with Jace in the greenhouse, then she argues with Jace and Simon

Alec celebrates his birthday with his family

Isabella stops by Magnus's place and Magnus enchants her whip

Alec stops by Magnus's place in the evening, they end up kissing

(I wasn't sure where else to put Alec's birthday, and this seems to work best. Since Magnus already has a coffee maker in his house because of Alec, it has to be after City of Ashes, where he didn't have a coffee maker yet, and also Jace isn't finally at his home.)

--------------------

My notes and what weird things I noticed

(1) - It is pretty confusing which kiss between Alec and Magnus is actually the first, because they have three first kisses in The Bane Chronicles. The chapter "What to buy a shadowhunter who has everything (and who you're not officially dating anyway)" mentions that they are together at Taki's and later kiss outside, leaning against a wall. Magnus describes that he is aware that this is Alec's first date and kiss. In the chapter "The Course of First Love (and First Dates)," Alec invites Magnus on a date on Tuesday, to which Magnus responds by accepting the invitation and kissing him. However, the first kiss doesn't happen until later in the chapter, when they return from their date to Magnus's house. However, this may be a translation error since I am reading Bane's chronicles in Czech. In the first chapter, it may be meant that this is Alec's dating and first kisses in general, not this specific one. When accepting the date, the kiss could have been on the cheek. And then the real first kiss happens Friday after the date.

(2) I tried to figure out how they could travel through the portal so that it would make sense with the time zones, since there should be a six-hour time difference between New York and Idris (CED). Jace told Clary that they would travel in the evening. But the sun's rays reflected off the surface when Clary went through the portal in the evening and exited the lake in Idris. The only solution I couldn't come up with was for Jace to tell her they would travel through the portal between midnight and 1 a.m. But then it doesn't make sense that Luke says the lake is several hours' walk from Alicante, but they don't arrive in the city until dusk. Cassandra Clare may have mixed the time zones when writing this and thought Idris was six hours behind New York. That would explain a lot. Unfortunately, time zones work differently, and this is the best I could come up with.

Does Ash enjoy being shown affection/showing affection?

Receiving: If it’s not enormous amounts of affection yes. The occasional soft hug or kiss is nice, but he gets a little overwhelmed and shy if it’s a lot at one time.

Giving: He likes to hold hands a lot to give affection.
