Do you ever find yourself just sitting and thinking about how hard it must have been to write a family of seven siblings and make them all unique and interesting, yet give them these similar threads that tie them back to one another. And like not only did cassie succeed in that, but all the blackthorns literally go so hard?? Mark being the lost son who doesn’t know how to be who people want him to be and Julian being the boy who had to grow up too fast who’s whole life is his siblings, and when he tries to reach for something that’s just for him it ends up being catastrophic. We’ve got Livvy, the heart of the family and their true north, and Ty, who can’t imagine navigating the world without her. There’s Dru, desperate to be taken seriously and treated like an adult, and Tavvy, who’s younger than his years because of his trauma. Half these characters don’t even have POVs and yet they’re all so alive to me. Forget warlocks and faeries, this right here is the real magic of TDA.

Sharp Dressed Man 😍
“The secret of the tuxedo, Magnus knew from many decades of experience, was that every man looked good in a tuxedo. If you were already a very attractive man, like Alec, you would look very, very good in a tuxedo.”
- The Red Scrolls of Magic
Just a quick drawing of the boys looking sharp 😉

TSC as The Tortured Poets Departament 🪶📜🤍
Ngl, some of them were really hard and some clicked right away. But i’m pretty proud of it. Let me know what you think!
Fortnite - Matthew Fairchild - I love you, it’s ruining my life
The Tortured Poets Departament - James and Cordelia
My boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys - Charles and Alastair
Down Bad - Kit and Ty
So Long, London - Robert and Maryse
But Daddy I Love Him - Annabel - "Stay away from her" The saboteurs protested too much
Fresh Out the Slammer - James Herondale - Fresh out the slammer, I know who my first call will be to
Florida!!! - Matthew Fairchild - Love left me like this and I don't want to exist. So take me to Florida
Guilty as Sin? - Julian and Emma - What if he's written "mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?
Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me? - Annabel Blackthorn - Then say they didn't do it to hurt me. But what if they did?
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) - Valentine and Jocelyn
loml - Amatis Greymark
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart - Izzy Lightwood - The lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night" I can show you
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived - James Herondale - And I don't even want you back, I just want to know If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal
The Alchemy - Thomas and Alastair - 'Cause the sign on your heart Said it's still reserved for me. Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?
Clara Bow - Kit Herondale - “What kind of Herondale will you be? William or Tobias? Stephen or Jace? Beautiful, bitter, or both?”
The burden of being a Herondale. All those names you have to live up to. Live up to the legend of Jace Herondale, the boy with the angel blood. Live up to James Herondale, the son your mother lost. See all the ways you’re similar, and all the ways you're not. Live up to the expectation of being the Lost Heir and live the burden that comes with that. And remember that one day another Herondale will come and they might feel the same way about you.
This was really fun! And i am planning on making part with The Anthology 🤍

A sudden ache of hatred for her father went through Clary. “Well, Valentine’s not here now.”
“Clary…,” Jace began, a warning note in his voice, but she’d already reached up and yanked one of the books out from the forbidden shelf, knocking it to the ground. It made a satisfying thump. “Clary!”
“Oh, come on.” She did it again, knocking another book down, and then another. Dust puffed up from their pages as they hit the floor. “You try.”
Jace looked at her for a moment, and then a half smile teased the corner of his mouth. Reaching up, he swept his arm along the shelf, knocking the rest of the books to the ground with a loud crash.
City Of Glass, Cassandra Clare

Good boy, that's right
Come close, I'll show you heaven
If you'll be an angel, all mine
Trust me, I can handle me a dangerous man
