#like there's no series without Tatiana 🧍🏻‍♀️

[layla-carstairs]

yknow what. the lightwoods should have been more important to the overall plot of tlh then they were. in every single previous series, the main villians/antagonists have had a very personal connection to the main characters; Clary -> her dad and brother (+ Jace also has a complicated relationship with them), Tessa -> the guy who manufactured her birth & her brother, Emma -> the guy who murdered her parents/Julian -> said guy who also hates his whole family & his long dead ancestor. like Belial is James & Lucie's grandfather but he A. does not give a shit about Lucie and B. only really appears at the end of the book.

Tatiana is the more front and centre villian of tlh, and yet none of the mains actually have that much of a relationship with her. like yes there's Grace & they have relationships with her but that's not the same to me?? plus Tatiana seeming hates all their families equally which is also weird to me too; she barely knew Jem for example. but with her brothers, that's personal!! & a much more compelling and complicated situation.

and the flash fictions did set some stuff that could've been interesting! like Gideon worrying that both Jesse and Thomas being sick could be connected, and telling her as much. and then she basically tells him his son gonna die & her's won't; like that has to sting now, since Thomas is older than Jesse ever was. and Christopher says one of the reasons he turned to science was because Jesse died! and there wasn't anything anyone could do to save him!! like that's their aunt and cousins!!! the plot entirely hinges on them & their decisions!!
