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...

Am I the only one who hopes Dru won't be a swordswoman? because as all the main female characters (except Tessa) are swordswoman, it's a bit boring in the long run

wait, you’re telling me that since will herondale believed he was cursed, then to him, the fact that all his friends were still alive meant that they didn’t love him???
he believed that if anyone loved him they would die, so if they were alive, then he just went on believing that they didn’t love him.
IM CRYING OH MY GOD

Can we please appreciate more the fact that Jem is the stepfather of James and Lucie and Will is the stepfather of Mina and Kit

I made this note when I was reading Clockwork Angel and then I forgot what for because my list of wips is longer than my life plans but...
Do you ever think about how Tessa was so deeply untrusting of the Shadowhunters when she was first brought to the Institute? About how she was found in a dire situation with the Dark Sisters wanting to hurt her but she was determined to make her own way out with pride? About how she was scared and she wasn't sure about her place in the world or where she belonged but she stayed because there were people who tried to make her feel at home? About how no one understood what even was she, and she could only tell she was different in a very noticeable way and even if she didn't want to think about it, that matter hanged over her head?
And do you think then about how Kit was so incredibly untrusting of the Shadowhunters when he was first brought to the Institute? About how he was found when he was scared out of his mind seeing the demons rip his father apart and yet he walked out of there with dignity? About how he was scared and convinced he didn't belong anywhere but especially not there and yet he stayed because there were people who tried to make him feel welcomed? About how he was suddenly part of a legacy he didn't understand and he didn't want to accept and then he found out he was even more different than he thought?
Both of them. Something unseen before in the world, so alone, so scared and yet so brave.
Do you ever think about how well they can understand each other? About Tessa holding Kit in her arms and telling him she knows it's not easy and it might not feel like it'll get easier at all but she understands, she does.
Understanding will not save him but she's his mother and at least she can sing him a lullaby before the night comes.

it’s 2am and my heart feels warm thinking about big brother kit trying to put his little sister mina to sleep without waking tessa and jem up. feels even warmer when i remember jem was watching him do it, that must have felt like a gentle caress to his heart as well. i just know kit is an amazing brother and he loves her with his whole heart, he for sure has the softest spot for her

i was minding my business working on an essay and i suddenly remembered that will is never going to hold mina in his arms or play with her, he’ll never be present in her life like jem (as brother zachariah) was with james and lucie. he would’ve loved mina so much. and jem and tessa will live the rest of their lives without will ever being there again. will’s random demon pox singing, his hilarious poetry, they’ll only ever be a memory. will herondale will never live with a healthy jem carstairs. i’m shattered

… obviously it’s a bad thing Mina got kidnapped
BUT.
I have been waiting many, many books, knowing that Jem would go absolutely feral protecting his family.
👀
(also tessa to some extent but it’s more jem’s whole ‘soft, caring cinnamon roll’ persona and the contrast in how far he’d go to protect his family)

I would just like to remind you, that for years Tessa celebrated Mother’s Day but her babies weren’t there to celebrate it with her

LOOK I KNOW WE ALL HAVE OUR HOPES AND DREAMS FOR TWP
BUT I HAVE ONE THING I NEED MORE THAN ANYTHING
AND I NEED MORE PEOPLE TO MANIFEST WITH ME
SO A HERONSTAIRS QUARTET!!!
Jem - Violin (ofc)
Tessa - Viola (inspired by Jem she picked it up and learned over the years)
Kit - Cello (look,, if Jem is in charging of Kit’s shadowhunter training he’s gonna make music education a requirement!! And Kit chooses cello— he also plays in his school orchestra!!)
Jace - Piano (ofc—they recruit Jace for the keys, and this leads to more Jace and Kit bonding opportunities)
+ 1 - Mina (she makes appearances sometimes with her toddler sized violin — eventually joining when she is old enough and they become a Quintet)
They rehearse weekly in devon!!
And Kit shows Jem how easy it is now to buy, look up, write and transpose sheet music and Jem becomes OBSESSED!!
They play a mix if old classic and classic renditions of modern pop songs (bridgerton style) — Jace and Jem write some of their own stuff too!! And eventually Kit starts writing as well!! (jace and kit both already have the sad boy poetry down for songwriting — haha)
Will is their biggest fan ofc!! You can hear him cheering from the next life
Their first venue is Simon and Izzy’s wedding

I have a question as Kit was adopted by Jem and Jem is a Carstairs, does that mean that « Kit became a Carstairs » and can use Cortana ?
(I'm not talking about Kit as a Cortana carrier but that at one point he is in danger and Cortana appears to give him help because he is a « Carstairs »)
