ship aes -> Mark Blackthorn & Cristina Rosales
tsc ship aes -> Kierarktina
Son of Thorns | Prince of Fae | Lady of Roses
„We will stay as close to you as the tide to the shore. Neither of us wishes for anything else.” He reached out a hand. “Please believe us, Lady of Roses.“
tsc ship aes -> Kierark
A thousand rivers they had ridden over together, a thousand streams they had slept beside.
tda char aes -> Mark ‘Miach’ Blackthorn
His eyes were full of feral amusement, a carelessness that spoke of a world where there was no human Law. He seemed to bring the wildness of Faerie into the room with him: a cold, sweet magic that was nevertheless a bitter at the roots.
TDA FANCASTS / FACECLAIMS (repost)
I’ve decided to add to the noise with my own content because at this point I’ve seen Froy Gutierrez and Timothee Chalamet fancast for just about every single male TSC character and I think we all deserve some variety. This will probably be followed up with posts for the other series in the near future. I’ve tried my hardest to find people as close as possible to my headcanons, but I feel like 95% of Cassie Jeans art still does the best job at representing what I picture these characters to look like in my head. Feel free to agree or disagree and let me know what your fav faceclaims are 🤗
Emma Carstairs - Bridget Satterlee (it’s not perfect and personally I still imagine Emma with sharper features, but at least she’s got the brown eyes and Emma vibes)
Julian Blackthorn - Darwin Gray (again pretty much the best I could find, idk why Jules and Emma are so hard to get right)
Cristina Rosales - Natalia Castellar Calvani
Mark Blackthorn - (Young) Gerhard Freidl (look I even added the golden eye😌, he’s def one of my faves with the soft and ethereal vibe he’s got going on)
Ty Blackthorn - (Young) Asa Butterfield (Ty was so damn hard to find, and he def wouldn’t work for grown up Ty in my opinion)
Livvy Blackthorn - (Young) Amalia Zadro (she’s literally so perfect I can’t)
Kit Herondale - Griffin Mark (sorry for the picture quality, he’s a tiktoker and I couldn’t find anything better, but LORD does he look like young Kit)
Dru Blackthorn - (Young!) India Eisley
Tavvy Blackthorn - Random kid I found here
Arthur Blackthorn - Jude Law (just picture him with glasses chilling in an a dusty attic)
Diana Wrayburn - Lehlogonolo Machaba (she’s a South African trans model, I know this is literally just fancasts but I thought it would be nice for proper representation anyways, plus she’s giving off the biggest Diana vibes)
Kieran Kingson - I’m so sorry I can’t find the original image source 😭
Gwyn ap Nudd - Ed Skrein
Annabel Blackthorn - Esme Creed-Miles
Diego Rocío Rosales - Jorge Antonio Guerrero (he def looks too old but otherwise fits well enough)
Jaime Rocío Rosales - Jacobo Cuesta
Manuel Villalobos - Zak Henri
Zara Dearborn - Iris Law (yes the eye colour is off but look at her she’s got just the right energy)
The Unseelie King - Rogier Bosschaart
Prince Adaon - Davidson Obennebo
Divya Joshi - (Young) Shriya Saran
Rayan Madabuchi - Ronald Epps
Anush Joshi - (Young) Jeenu Mahadevan
Ash Morgenstern - (Young) Lucky Blue Smith
Lady Nene - Pauline Darley
Horace Dearborn - Woody Harrelson
If you’re wondering where Malcom, Helen and co. are: they’ll be in extra posts with all the characters who are kind of all over the place. As for Johnny Rook, I just didn’t have the patience anymore…
Bonus gifs: Cristina looking pretty + laughing about something Emma said off camera while they’re being girlies together having a photoshoot
TSC characters as things my friends/family have said
- Alec *to Jace*: Sure, sounds like a good idea.
- Alec: I’m kidding, obviously.
Emma: Look, you don’t have to resign right away just because your boss is an asshole. You could start out by puncturing his tires.
Mark: A bite of wine sounds great. Right along with a sip of cheese.
Dru: No, leave this pancake, it isn‘t well. It has… encephalitis.
- Will: I need this for my future.
- Gabriel: You don’t have a future.
James: I just gotta stare at the ceiling for a bit. See you later.
Kit: “Lmao”, “bruh”, both better than “lol”.
- Catarina *to Magnus and Ragnor*: It’s all well as long as the two of you are having fun together.
- Ragnor: I’m not.
Grace *playing with a molecular model kit*: Oh no, what did I do! A cyclic dimer.
Jem *about Church*: In reality he is so disgustingly adorable that you can’t properly capture it in a photograph.
- Henry: Guys! Can someone tell me where the skull went??
- Charlotte: I don’t know where the skull went! You were already wondering about that last year.
In modern day they‘d get stoned together and have hour long rambling conversations about poetry and philosophy and beautiful things
you know a character interaction i wish we could see. matthew fairchild x mark blackthorn. i just feel like they’d have the most amusing dynamic
You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.
Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…
…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.
I see this a lot, where even characters like Julian and Alec and even Tessa and sometimes even Kit and darling Ty are reduced to ship names but these people have gone through hell and back and THEY. ARE. I N D I V I D U A L S.
You can appreciate their ship without diminishing all the character development they've gone through themselves to get to this point.
Mark Blackthorn deserved so much better than to be reduced to his relationship w Cristina and Kieran
I thought this was Arthur Blackthorn and honestly...it still works...
Arthur: Vaccinate your fucking kids.
Who did it better? 003
Blue Hair:
Rhysand High Lord of the Night Court vs. Keirn of the Hunt Kingson
So I’ve officially decided I’m using the Parabati Vows as my marriage vows and that’s final
Readers: *thinking there isint going to be anymore sexy times in demon realms after the ridiculousness that ensued with the crinkle of foil and a particular cavern in City of Heavenly Fire*
Cassie Clare (writing TLBOTW): *evil chuckle*

“Mark spoke like a poem and walked like a dance.”

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-
ca: "i would literally rather be reading than doing any of this"
clockwork prince: more family problems also im crying and wow these parabatai are both gorgeous
clockwork princess: ducks and demon pox. lots of feels. tessa kicks ass.
-tda-

IF THIS AINT LOVE I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS
Kit felt a rush of tenderness toward Ty, mixed with near-panic. In other circumstances, he thought, he would just have lied. But he couldn’t lie to Ty.
My bestie @jamescarstairs03 just did this and I think it's absolutely beautiful. 😍♥️

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.
