currently done with 3/6 finals and im so disappointed with all of them so far. I procrastinated throughout the entirety of the exam even when I had heaps of time. I’m determined to ace the last three, all the best to everyone who’s giving their exams <3 ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -｡꒱ྀི১

I think Kit herondale moving to Devon to stay with Jem and Tessa was a very appropriate decision made by Cassie.

Kit was, by no means ready to be in a relationship with Ty at that stage. I definitely do not like the way things ended with them. But what I do know is that Kit needed Jem and Tessa. Kit needed their love and guidance. Here, we are talking about someone whose father showed him such little affection that he felt that he was never loved by him. And he was the only family Kit had ever known while growing up. Kit did not value himself. He hated himself. And until a person learns to love themselves they won't be able to love others properly, no matter how hard they try.

I love the blackthorns. I really do. But tbh they are a bunch of teenagers with too much baggage on them already. They are always busy with their own businesses. They don't have time to help Kit with his mental health when they all clearly need therapy as well. Living at the LA Institute would not help with Kit's mental health in the slightest.

What he truely needs is a loving, caring family that can give him time and attention. Who can teach him to love and to be loved. Kit needed Jem and Tessa. He needed Mina. He needed church. He needed them to know the value of family, love, protection and care. He needed to be a son. He needed to be a brother. He needed to be a tol hooman for his cat.

Before he needed the Blackthorn's companionship, he needed the Carstairs family's love. I just know that by the end of the three year period Kit Herondale would be in a much better place as a much better, understanding and mature person. And most of all, I need people to understand this.

Cassie gave us the most human and well-constructed male character in a fantasy saga and you'll decided to ignore him, the lack of good taste is incredible.

I can understand why Emma was about to risk everything for him, I understand you sister.

Defending Blackstairs online is not enough, I need a gun

I must say that, now that I'm 22 years old and I think I think like a more functional adult, I still don't understand how there are people who hate Emma and Julian's relationship.

Let's go in parts, I read that many readers do not like their relationship because they consider them "toxic", "codependent" and "intense", but we must be honest, we read the entire beginning of their romantic relationship when they are teenagers and are in an impossible situation to face, surrounded by other problems as serious as the Parabatai curse. And we must keep in mind that these two have known each other their WHOLE LIFE, they never lived without each other and I think that one of the conclusions we can draw from TDA is that they should never have been Parabatai to begin with, but circumstances led them to make a very serious decision that did not correspond to 12 years old.

Now, since I'm re-reading the books, I realize that the unhealthy aspects of their relationship are mainly due to the Parabatai curse, since it is designed to intensify their behaviors and thoughts towards each other, and yet they were able to avoid the most impulsive decisions that the curse directed them to make. (until Emma is mortally wounded, so they give in to the curse)

I think we haven't seen much of their relationship yet without being affected by the Parabatai curse, so I think in TWP we could see a different dynamic between them than it was in TDA (without the curse and without threats hanging over their heads). I hope CC can give us a glimpse of their more mature relationship in Better in Black.

The only thing these children did not want was to be separated from each other and unfortunately they realized very late that they loved each other not only as friends. Plus, they love each other in such a fierce and honest way that it makes you wish you had a bond similar to theirs, I hope CC gives them the happy ending they deserve.

(Also, I like to defend love stories)

Keep forgetting that in universe Jace and Clary are literal celebrities and Alec is basically the president

the dark artifices is just THAT shadowhunters series for me, like not only did it introduce and lay down some wild stuff for the wicked powers to take over, but everything happened in there. malec wedding, clace proposal, two parabatai falling in love (the literal bible verses said IN BED ahem), robert lightwood's past with michael, literally all the couples stories being fire (kieraktina, diana and that guy from the hunt, kit and ty, julian and emma ofc), jem and tessa (no explanation needed, i just love seeing them), and the whole vibe at the L.A. institute and in the seelie and unseelie courts, and THULE which was insane. if the wicked powers can't beat that, then i'm afraid nothing else comes close to it for me
