Emma and Cordelia

Owners of Cortana ♥️♥️♥️

what's scaring me right now is how this curse was affecting Emma..

"I had a terrible sense of encroaching darkness, like my vision was beginning to fade at the edges."

it's just calling me back to Tatiana's diary and how she was blind to the control it had over her. it feels awfully like something very bad was setting in to Emma specifically--we don't know whether Julian felt this encroaching darkness, but he was able to see the book in front of him as he rifled through it

I don't like imagining what could have happened if Jules and Emma's attempt at decursing had come to its completion, but I think its worth considering when we think more about the mechanics of this curse

I colorized TSC spines

Don't look at TDA's one though, it's this bad because I COULDN'T FIND A FULL PIC OKAY??😭😞 There were separate spines which I tried to put together....and apparently it didn't go well, the quality is shit and my day is ruined

the dark artifices has so many moments that just floor me. when diana opens up to gwyn and he tells her she’s the bravest woman he’s ever met and gently asks, Can I hold you? when kieran feels betrayed and mark kneels in front of him to ask for forgiveness and tells him I love you, I wish you could believe me. when julian says to emma “I’ll love you if I never touch you” and emma thinks, I love you more than starlight. kieran telling mark “you are all that exists on the earth and under the sky that I do love.” julian telling dru that “you’re the heart of this family”. ty and kit being each other’s reasons to stay. livvy’s protectiveness over ty; livvy telling julian she wants to be like him. kierarktina dancing together and all being stunned after. there is just such fierce and fragile love in this series in so many different forms, i’m so soft for all of them

Thinking about the funny age misconceptions that would occur in TSC due to immortality & faerie

Like Tessa and Lucie def had a period where they were mistaken for twins when out in public together

Emma and Julian are out to lunch with Tessa and Jem and someone calls “Carstairs” for an order and both Emma and Jem stand up out of habit but then the staff thinks that they are the one’s who are married (bc they look nothing alike)

Poor Clary would be triggered bc she and Ash don’t look that far apart in age to begin with combined with the fact that Ash is way taller than her someone would mistake Clary for being Ash’s younger sister 😭

Tessa eternally looks like a college kid and Kit will be 18 so some mundane could def mistake Tessa for being Kit’s girlfriend if they saw Kit hugging her 😭

I think about this more often than I’d like to admit.

“Whoever you have loved, and however you loved them,” said Jem, “anyone you loved would be lucky.”

[cortanasdaisies]

julian really thought he's going to get a moment of peace in twp because the parabatai mess is over... no good sir, your brother did necromancy to bring his dead twin back and your other sister is gonna be dating the son of the man you hate the most rip

[layla-carstairs]

thinking about how Jace is Cordelia's descendant always throws my head into a loop like. what do you mean he's related to Mina through both Tessa and Jem 😭 his great great great grandma and first cousin four times removed married each other and had a kid and also adopted his 7th cousin...

[decaffinated-dreams]

yes its been five years but i am not over emma hallucinating that she severed all parabatai bonds while coming back from thule, just to turn and see jem bleeding as he asks "emma, emma how could you?" i mean WHAT a perfect scene to show how powerful the parabatai bond is. throughout tda the bond becomes an antagonist as julian and emma struggle against it, and its hard to remember that its actually a beautiful way to connect two souls. one of my favorite parts of the shadowhunters books is how cassie shows how powerful and overwhelming platonic love can be, and will and jem are the embodiment of that. the bond isnt just a symbol of their love but the physical manifestation of its endurance, and thats why the seelie queens proposal to break all bonds is so tragic. to take away that kind of connection is sacrilege, even at the cost of romantic love. one is not greater than the other, and thats one of the subtle but beautifully written themes threading through tda.

UNPOPULAR OPINION

I actually like TDA much more than TID, I relate to the characters a lot more, i think the plot is more interesting and I re-read it every couple months, but i've only read TID twice and i'm fine with it.

(also i like Will Herondale, i think he's funny and i'm sad he died but he's not my fav Herondale)

+ the Blackthorns are my fav family, i LOVE Emma, and i love Jem, Kit is introduced, Ash is also introduced, i really like all the relationships developing (blackstairs, Kierarktina, KiTty) and the other characters making an appearance, i love it, KIT AND JACE PLEASE, MALEC AND THEIR KIDS.

you get my point, that's it, thankssss

TSC characters auditioning for Simon's band

I did another thing

P. S - Christopher is auditioning twice because he wanted to and asked me to add him

[mikaherondale]

why did i just now realize that Jesse is suggesting to shorten it to The Wicked Powers 😭

[clockworkbee]

Something about fictional couples who part ways, not having seen eachother or heard from one another in months or years, not even sure whether they'll see the other person again or when, simply hits different for me. You can see both of them thinking about each other every day, missing the other or being reminded of their time together by small things, and—
