Blackthorns - Tumblr Posts
Okay I updated all the family mottos. Whenever something happens it’s always those five.
Blackthorns: tragic with a tendency for necromancy
Lightwoods: loyal with a tendency for gay drama
Herondales: chaotic with a tendency for catastrophic love
Carstairs: fierce with a tendency for emo bois
Fairchilds: good-hearted with a tendency for self-destructive decisions
Also since 1968.
Morgensterns: intense with a tendency for evil
so the real question is: is Ty a top or a bottom?
I imagine Kit with lavender hair and Keiran with blonde hair, and I DONT KNOW WHY?!?!
tsc books summed up (spoilers duh)
-tmi-
city of bones: what the fuck??? hot guy with tattoos??? my best friend is a rat??? mOm
city of ashes: family problems. umbridge 2.0 turns out to not be so bad. it's almost like the universe has something against simon lewis being human
city of glass: if you thought family problems were bad in the last book, oh boy you have another thing coming. actual incest happens compared to the previous incest-that-wasn't-incest. everyone is an asshole at some point except maybe baby max and yknow what happens to him
city of fallen angels: guESS WHOS BACK BACK BACK BACK AGAIN
city of lost souls: we can't even focus on the fact that clace is now happily incest-free because of what the shit going down. alec is insecure but we love him. poor amatis. alec becomes a hero yay
city of heavenly fire: a lot of people die. we get vague tid references and we meet mini emma and jules before the parabaDRAMA goes down. people walk in on other people doing things. we visit hell for a family vacation.
-tid-

clockwork princess: ducks and demon pox. lots of feels. tessa kicks ass.

I AM LIVING 😂




In the spirit of the holidays, more deleted and cut things! In this case, the comic Cassandra Jean drew for some editions of City of Heavenly Fire. It’s a scene I sketched out but deleted (there’s nothing written to post, just notes) because it didn’t fit — Magnus sends Emma, Julian and the Blackthorns back through a Portal to Los Angeles. Jace and Clary come to say goodbye. The passing of the torch, to a new group. And some Clace. :)
Thank you. 😸
So today in my reading of Lord of Shadows, things are looking up for our heroes.
1) Good news! They found Malcolm’s body. Mission accomplished!
2) Malcolm announced an exciting career change as a new cast member of SpongeBob SquarePants.
3) Ty, Livvy, Dru, Tavvy and Kit won an all expenses paid trip to London.
4) Mark, Christina and Kieran may not have DTRed yet, but they are still moving forward towards important relationship goals. Like meeting the family. While they may have been surprise guests to Kieran’s family reunion, the whole experience truly deepened their understanding of Kieran’s familial relationships.
5) And then Mark was able to not only introduce Christina and Kieran to his aunt, but also bring his family on his father’s side closer to his family on his mother’s side.
Oh wait… Forgive me, I need to announce some corrections:
1) It seems the mission to find Malcolm’s body involves more then just pointing and shouting, “There he is!” Sadly, our hard working centurions and their invisible boat cannot relax just yet.
2) I seem to have mistaken a hoard of murderous sea demons for the cast of SpongeBob SquarePants. An easy mistake to make I am sure you will agree.
3) An addendum. Kit and the younger Blackthorns received a free trip to London, while fleeing for their lives.
4) A minor typo. Please replace the words “family reunion” with “public execution.” Really anyone could confuse an attempted filicide with a family gathering.
5) A clarification: Mark’s half brother and his mother’s sister are now closer, in terms of physical space.
So perhaps the day has not been as kind to our heroes as it first appeared, but that’s no reason to lose your head.
Uncle Arthur to Zara : Amatis ???!?
Amatis In the Afterlife : *deeply offended*
