my second reblog ever in tumblr is a post about kitty.

the date was june 17th of 2017…20 fucking 17!!!!

what the actual fuck. i knew i’ve been waiting for the wicked powers for a looong time. but what do you mean i’ve been shipping kitty since 2017 AND I STILL HAVEN’T READ THEIR FIRST BOOK?

what do you mean by next year it will be 9 YEARS? what do you mean that 9 whole years will have passed for me to finally read the FIRST book with them as main characters?

how the fuck do i cope with this?

i mean, no wonder i’m so fond of them. i’ve been waiting for them for almost an entire fucking decade. this is why i say i NEED to see them together and interacting with each other. honest to god was not expecting it to be that much time.

right?! my god, that scene is so so good

This exchange between Simon and Jace lowkey being the one of the most romantic things Cassandra has written rlly gets me every time

[sofi182]

perfect time to remember this 🤭

if kit and ty don't fuck in the middle of the apocalypse or in a cave then are they even a real tsc couple

HES NOT EVEN MOVING

Sometimes I wonder if Julian and Emma know about Ty and Kit, because of course Jules would know... if he wasn't emotionless. But do you think that they figured it out or they just don't have a clue of what happened to Kit to leave so studently?

For me, they don't know nothing. Differently from Jem and Tessa, they can't tell what Kit was felling. Tessa and Jem lived whit a Herondale (a very, very dramatic one) for years. They simply KNOW what Kit is up to.

Julian and Emma don't have this information and Ty will not tell them anything. He refused to talk about it with Livvy, why would he say anything to Julian and Emma? The history would be incomplete too, because he can't talk about the ritual

i love the idea that almost no one can pick up on the tiny shift in andrew's microexpressions or distinguish between basically any of his expressions at all other than aaron. not because of some twin telepathy thing but because i think it would be hilarious that the only other person than neil in a room full of the foxes that realizes andrew is eye-fucking neil is the last person who wants to know about it. cue aaron yelping in dramatic revulsion and pretending to gag while everyone asks him wtf is wrong and he just points at andrew like "look at him!!!" and then everyone looks at him and he looks the exact same as always. bored and blank. best poker face andrew minyard and aaron minyard the one man cursed to see it through it

he’s truly, in my opinion, one of the best characters of tsc. his growth through the series is incredible and rereading the series convinced me from the very first book that he belonged in the shadowhunter world. i think he adapted and accepted he had a place within it even faster than clary did.

i just truly truly love his development and i can’t wait to reread tales from the shadowhunter academy.

it always strikes me how apparent the development in Simon's character becomes near the end of CoG because it happens so quietly throughout the book. I barely even notice it until I've made it to the last few chapters and he's facing off Raphael on his own and fighting on Brocelind and I'm like oh... oh this is a completely different Simon.

and then I think back and realise there were so many moments earlier in the book that signalled his growth. Simon standing in the Penhallow's living room where Aline doesn't even bother disguising her contempt for him and Jace is being mean and he doesn't let it get to him. when Jace wants to break him out of jail and he refuses because he knows the consequences will extend to the others. Simon doesn't take the bait when Jace directs him sarcastic remarks after Max' funeral; he understands Jace is grieving and his behaviour towards him is nothing personal. he takes it upon himself to go talk to Izzy when she won't let anyone else in her room. Clary tells him she's in love with Jace and he doesn't get jealous: he says he's glad him and Clary tried even if it didn't work out. he is able to describe with matter-of-factly the moment he realised that Jace was in love with Clary, and empathises that it was killing him. he convinces Clary to mark him and states clearly that he is part of all of this and she needs to let him take on his responsibilities.

he is learning to acknowledge the fact that he's a vampire, not just a mundane who happens to drink blood and hangs out with shadowhunters. he begins to recognize that he is a part of this story too and to stand firmly in that awareness. he's no longer just a sidekick to Clary or an antagonist to Jace or a toy for Isabelle. and suddenly he's bearing the Mark of Cain, he's standing in front of Raphael, he's running across Brocelind, he's fighting a war he got flung into by series of unfortunate events but he's here and he's trying to make it matter.

I guess what strikes me towards the end of CoG, then, is his conviction in his own part in the story, whatever that is; his recognition of the ways in which this is interconnected with that of the people around him; and his willingness to take on responsibility for himself and others. I see such strength in him. the best way I can figure out to express this is that it's like he gains solidity and robustness.

The Holy Trinity

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 :)

the cats and neil staring adoringly at Andrew while they wait to see in which chair he's going to sit so they could choose a spot next to him

the cats and Neil staring at the front door, Andrew gets in and the cats meow at the same time as Neil says "Andrew!"

Andrew having to forcefully push the cats and neil out the bathroom so he could brush his teeth without three pairs of eyes unblinking, zeroed on him

Andrew is convinced that the cats and neil share the same singular braincell

I wish so bad they could be friends again 😭😭

[sofi182]

yes! it’s perfect really, he was the one who started everything, it’s only fitting that now he’ll literally be the beginning and ending of aftg

something i am always thinking about in regard to kevin is that his decision to leave the nest, his moment where he hit his breaking point and decided he couldn't take it anymore, that's the moment that sets the whole series in motion. kevin leaving, kevin going to the foxes, it starts the chain of events that saves his life and the lives of neil, andrew, and jean. it's what gives them all a future and the strength to fight their way out. and fuck, he's scared and mean and a little cowardly, but he leaves. and it's the start of everything. it only makes sense that the story should start and end with him. kevin you are NEVER beating the main character allegations.

[sofi182]

the broken cage??!!!! cállate cállate!!!

kevin! my love! god, i cannot do this, i want to fucking screaaaam!!!! he’ll be the beginning and the end.

i repeat, he’ll be the beginning and the end. and god, he’s going to kill me
