Hi Cassie Queen, I literally came as soon as possible, for the tumblr to ask you questions haha ❤️ any scenes of Anna Lightwood interacting with Magnus Bane? my birthday is March 16th, and as a gift you could give me scenes of my favorite characters interacting

Xoxo Love u 🥰🇧🇷

Can you settle for a promise that they do interact? Magnus and Anna have a lot in common — appreciation of the Bohemian life-style, a love of fashion, self-confidence and knowing how to thrive — and they have some pretty amusing interactions. ;)

James and Daisy

[baneherondale]

“Anna has a quality.” Matthew raised a thoughtful eyebrow. “The French would call it jolie laide.” Cordelia knew French well enough to frown. “Pretty-ugly? She’s not ugly!” “It doesn’t mean that,” Matthew said. “It means unusually pretty. Oddly beautiful. It denotes having a face with character.” - Chain of Gold

Merry Thieves

“She was the one who’d first taken to calling them the Merry Thieves, after Robin Hood and his men. James suspected he was Robin of Locksley and Matthew was Will Scarlett. Thomas was definitely Little John.”

A little something for a (hopefully) fun distraction: I’m working with artist @gabriella.bujdoso to create a Major Arcana set for the Last Hours characters. Here we start out with Matthew Fairchild as The Fool — it’s not a card that implies foolishness, but rather heedlessness and a potential for self-destruction. The fool is also the human spirit seeking experience. More to come. ❤️

YOU. ARE. LOVED.

This is the best message for Alec on his birthday I could think of. Alec, my love, I remember inventing you and loving you when no one else had met you; I remember thinking of one of my best friends, who is now no longer with us, and wanting to give him the happy ending that he never got. 

Alec, you will get the moon and the stars, the leadership you deserve, and the man you love. And there’s still so much more for you to experience. :)

Thank you Cassandra Jean for this gorgeous art!

And now a snippet from Red Scrolls. Don’t worry I’ve got a little Malecy one for later, but I wanted to post something just about Alec, his heart and his growth.

“Helen,” Alec said. “The Clave tells us not to trust Downworlders. Despite the Accords, despite everything, we all get indoctrinated, and we —” He broke off, looking up at the clear, cold stars. “I used to follow the rules because I thought it would keep everyone I cared about safe,” he said. “But I’ve started to realize that everyone I care about is a bigger group and a different group than the Clave was built to accept.”

“So what are you suggesting we do?” Helen said.

“We change the Clave,” said Alec. “From inside. We make new Laws. Better ones.”

“Institute Heads can suggest new laws,” said Aline. “Your mother —”

“I want to do this myself,” said Alec. “I’ve realized — I don’t need to change. And neither do you, Helen, or you, Aline. It’s the world that needs to change, and we’re going to be the ones to change it.”

Q&A Lightwood-Banes

basket-full-of-dreams said: Sorry to bother you again, Cassie, but I have one more question regarding the Lightwood-Banes. Is there a chance we will see any scenes of Maryse and Robert interact with their grandsons in TEC? Robert’s death in LOS broke my heart and I’ve always been curious to know how he and Maryse were with those two precious boys? I know we saw them in BTEN with baby Max but now that he’s a toddler and Rafe is there too, I’d really love to see a scene between them all. Forever grateful 4 the ShadowWorld!

Aw, thank you! We will see Robert and Maryse with Max in The Lost Book of the White, yes! Maryse babysits for Max often, and Robert has a special pet name for him. (Rafe isn’t around yet.) Robert’s death was a tragedy for many reasons as we’ll see in QoAaD, especially for Alec and Isabelle and Jace, but also because he missed out on seeing Rafe and Max grow up, and he only got to be Rafe’s grandfather for a short while. Robert’s life, of course, was also a tragedy to an extent: he made some awful choices, and he destroyed his relationship with his wife and his parabatai, and did serious damage to his relationship with his surviving children. But he did try, especially hard in later years as his children showed him a different way to live–and it’s never too late to try. It doesn’t excuse the harm he did, but he wanted to be a good dad, and a good Inquisitor. I would say that Max adored his grandpa, and in return Max was one of the great joys of Robert’s life. There’s a lesson in that: Robert who was so prejudiced in so many ways, finding in an innocent warlock child–a member of the people he once thought of as lesser–a light for his last years on earth. We are going to have a pretty significant Robert scene in The Land I Lost, coming your way in October! So stay tuned. ;)
