Wait so, Peter and Paxton call their girlfriends with their last names (covey & vishwakumar). They both drive jeeps and wear bracelets (Peter was wearing one in the first movie). They both have bestfriends who gave their girlfriend a nickname (largie and coyote girl). They both are LJ and Devi’s first kiss. They both avoid drinking during their sport seasons. They BOTH might go to Stanford? (Peter is in Stanford rn and Paxton said he might go there?)

Peter and Kitty’s relationship is <3

Devi and Becca’s relationship is <3

Trevor and Chris

Trent and Eleanor

Dear Cristina, from Emma

Dear Cristina,

I was going to try addressing this letter to Polyamorous Cottage In Faerieland, but I figured it might never be delivered. :) Ok, ok, I’m kidding. I’m sending it to the New York Institute—Clary says she’ll hold onto it for you. I know Jules and I have been popping around the globe like ping-pong balls, but we’ve finally settled here in London for at least a couple of months, so you can — and should — write me back at the London Institute — I’m not sure the place we’re staying even has an address.

(And sure, I could have just sent you a fire-message, but I have too much to tell you. Buckle up.)

So, a while ago Jules and I were in Manaus, in Brazil, studying the Curupira demon, when we got called into the Rio Institute. They had a message for Julian. His great-aunt — yeah, the one he was visiting when you first came to L.A. — had died. Really sad. And then, remember the beautiful house in Sussex where she lived? Well, she left that to some cousin nobody’s heard of, but she left Julian Blackthorn Hall. Which is a crumbling ruin in Chiswick (kind of a suburb of London). And then we had to come here, because of a codicil in the will (ahem, according to the dictionary, that’s “an addition or supplement that explains, modifies, or revokes a will or part of one”). Either Julian has to fix the place up, get it livable again, in five years, or he has to donate it to the Clave.

Anyway, you know how Julian is. He makes up his mind fast. We Portaled to London the next day after he got the news.

I was all set to eat scones, drink tea, and go on the Eye (all the things I didn’t get to do last time we came to London, due to being pursued by unkillable Faerie warriors.) But that was before we took a black cab from the Institute out to Chiswick and really saw the place.

From the outside it looks like a museum or an old library—you know, big marble columns, grand staircase, big metal dome on top that looks like it should have a telescope in it. (It doesn’t; I checked.) But inside it’s more like a fairytale. Not, like, something from Faerie. Or something from a kid’s movie. It’s like one of those fairytales where a crumbling palace sleeps for a thousand years. It was kind of romantic, for about five minutes. Then we spotted the first rat, nibbling on the tassel end of one of the drapes.

It’s a weird mix of interesting history, weird old art, and total ruin. There are cool portraits of old Blackthorn ancestors, mostly intact. Julian says he doesn’t recognize most of the faces. Some of them have names written on the back of the canvas or on the frame but other than “Blackthorn” none of the names mean anything to any of us. There are wooden chests full of ancient books and papers, and beautiful overgrown grounds that I’m sure were once gardens and are now England’s version of a jungle. There’s an old greenhouse and a weird little brick structure we can’t figure out. (Storage shed? Very small weapons room?) The whole place is just a mess, and most of the house isn’t habitable at all anymore. Someone built an apartment with “updates” off in one wing, probably in the sixties. (The apartment, by the way, reminds me of that vintage shop in Topanga I dragged you to. Remember?) Whoever lived in it left a closet of all kinds of vintage clothes and there’s crazy flower-patterned wallpaper and modern art everywhere. At least the apartment has electricity, running water, and heat, because the rest of the house definitely doesn’t —

I’m back now. Sorry, had to stop writing for a second. Julian was calling me. He was up in what was probably a ballroom? But anyway he took a wrong step and his foot went through the floor. (Not all the way through the floor, which is a relief. But it definitely made a hole.) The ballroom is big and dusty, but you can see how long ago it must have been beautiful, and very fancy. It has these huge French doors that open onto marble balconies, though most of the glass in the doors is gone now.

Once I freed Jules from the broken floor I figured it was my only chance to try to talk some sense into him, so I pointed out that this is a gigantic project for two people who have never fixed up a house before, and that we have a perfectly fine place to live already. And the weather is better there.

Jules, being Jules, took his time answering, really thinking about what I’d been saying. Then he said, “If you don’t want to do this, we don’t have to do it. You’re more important to me than a house. Any house.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to do it,” I said. “I just don’t even know where to start.”

Jules calmly explained that he’d been in contact with some faerie builders of some kind, hobgoblins maybe? who would be here Monday to do “a walkthrough.” Then he put his arms around me and said, “I know we can always live in the L.A. Institute. I love it there, too. But as much as any Blackthorn legacy exists, this is it. All these old papers, whatever secrets the house is hiding, they’re our family history. I want to pass it on to Dru and Ty and Tavvy. I want to give them what I never had.”

Well, what could I say to that? I get it. I have Jem as my living family history. Jules doesn’t have anything like that. And while Aline and Helen run the L.A. Institute now, they might not always, and besides, it belongs to the Clave. I get that he feels like he can’t give away a big chunk of his family’s history without giving them a choice in the matter.

I said, “All right. We’ll see what we can do. If we ever decide it’s too much, we can hold a big family meeting and everyone can vote. Keep the place or not.”

He picked me up and swung me around. Then we started kissing. I’ll be merciful and not give you the details.

So I’ve decided to consider all this An Adventure. It’s like an archeological site, and we are intrepid historians. Later I’ll see if I can convince Jules to put on a tweed coat and a pith helmet while we sort through the debris. Because whoever lived here before had a lot of stuff. It’s a big house, and every room has furniture with drawers and cabinets, and inside every drawer and every cabinet is clutter. Rusty weapons, water-damaged books, little boxes with more clutter in them, costume jewelry, portraits of random people, broken teacups…And remember, we’ll be going through it without any light but witchlights.

Anyway. I wanted to let you know what I was up to, and where we were. Our travel year was basically over anyway, so this is a sort of way of extending it and spending more time together. I’m not sad about that part. I was actually doing pretty well psyching myself up for the excavation of Blackthorn History, until this morning.

I know I said the house seemed haunted, but I was joking. Mostly. I’m not Kit; I can’t see ghosts unless they want me to see them, and so far I haven’t come across any ectoplasmic spirits with messages from The Beyond. But the place does feel odd — I keep finding myself turning around at the end of long, spiderwebby hallways, as if expecting to see something in the shadows. Or imagining I glimpse something over my shoulder in the mirror. I chalked it all up to nerves until this morning, when I came into the dining room and saw that the words “GO AWAY” were written in the dust on the floor.

I literally jumped. I was actually reaching for Cortana before I got a hold of myself. Don’t be ridiculous, I thought. That message could have been written any time. Long before we got to the house. It could have been sitting here in the dust for years, undisturbed.

I have a confession to make, though. I rubbed the GO AWAY message away with my foot. I didn’t want Julian to see it. He worries too much as it is. I didn’t want him to have that same bad moment of shock that I did, especially over something unimportant.

I feel better getting the story off my chest to you, though. Oh dear, Julian is calling for me again, I can’t wait to see what he’s put his foot through this time. I will write again soon, and in the meantime pip pip cheerio from London!

Love to you and the boys,

Emma

Okay. Okay.

Because of the, in my opinion, frankly overblown Portwell drama in this fandom, I just wanna get a few things off my chest. I don't know who needs to hear this, and some people in this fandom might not want to, but a two-year age gap between teens is perfectly normal, and not perfectly normal in the sense that something icky or nasty has been normalized in this society, but it is literally perfectly okay. I'm convinced some people have never been in a public high school, and if they have they've either forgotten a lot or never paid attention. There's been discourse over EJ calling characters like Carlos a "kid" or telling Ashlyn (only a year younger than him) how young she looks and then proceeding to pursue Gina, but. The fact that these statements were taken on face value? The Ashlyn thing was being played for laughs, because EJ is an overdramatic teenage boy being angsty about a period in his life that's about to come to an end, something he's clearly not quite ready for. Again, the whole thing is played. for. laughs. And again, taking everything at face value is just - not a great form of media analysis.

EJ's age is ambiguous (we can assume he's 17-18, just like Gina is 15-16. In any case, that's a two-year age gap), but I wanna touch on that arbitrary number, 18. 18 is literally the number the government says, "Welp. You can sign a contract and cross state lines. Also, if a grown-ass 25+ person wants to date you? That's not on us." At 18, in the simplest, most trivialized terms barring individual examples, a person is just someone who stopped being a minor, stopped being 17. That super normally says nothing about their maturity, and they are not suddenly wiser and more adult than their peers. 18 is a child. 18 is a child, one who can sign a contract and vote, but one who still, legally, can't purchase alcohol, can't rent a car, and, in some states, can't even rent a hotel room (ironically, in others you can be as young as 16). 18-year-olds are not the grown adults media likes to portray them as. They just aren't.

I'm aware some eighteen-year-olds are predatory and intentionally seek out younger partners, and a separate discussion can be had about that, but it does not apply here. A two-year age gap is not the nasty, unnatural phenomenon social media discourse has started to wire people's brains to believe. I beg of y'all to go outside and talk to real people. This isn't at all to say everyone does this, but forming and basing your opinions off of what you see on the social media echo chamber instead of researching and forming your own thoughts is more harmful than not. It's always appreciable and wonderful to be aware, but not at the expense of throwing around serious words and terminology to make a point. That only serves to disrespect people and situations in real life that are actually harrowing. Stop it. Please.

TL; DR: Stop calling EJ a "freak" and "grown" (because neither of those things are true whatsoever), stop taking everything you watch and read at face value and drawing conclusions from there, and stop repeating things just because everyone else is saying them. This is all I have to say as it concerns this ship ( which I really don't like) and this show in general for now, because how it's been playing out has been disappointing so far for me. You don't have to agree with everything I said, but I just had to get that off my chest.

i adore opposite couples. yes this is an excuse to write about kit x ty what of it.

christopher herondale like his cousin is a tall tanned blonde. he is a total dork despite his preppy appearance. and at fifteen has lost almost every important person in his life all while the believing he is impossible to love. not to mention that he is desperately in love with someone who he believes doesn’t love him back.

tiberius nero blackthorn is unusually tall with pale skin that contrasts his dark hair and grey eyes. he is quiet and thoughtful and clearly intelligent. he loves mysteries and despite the ableist fuckery of the clave becomes a centurion.

ergo the image of ty (tall dark and handsome) using kit (lights up a room) as an arm rest and ruffling his boyfriend’s hair. the sun brooding with the moon teasing him.

Stiles stilinski and Jake peralta are definitely the same person in two different points in time.

In normal circumstances I would totally bet on Jace, but always remember Emma is a savage lady (who knows everything about her idol, including all his weaknesses)

Enjoy!

there is a very niche part in the tsc fandom where both swifties and tsc enthusiasts intersect and that part is beautiful

WARNING: ANIMAL CRUELTY

Apparently people have been adopting dogs and either killing them themselves or dropping them to a kill shelter (and one even said they were flying them to poor Asian areas to be eaten) under the Twitter hashtag #pitbulldropoff

This is completely cruel and evil and word needs to get around about these demons so everyone knows what these demons are planning to do to dogs once they get ahold of them.

If you know someone or if you yourself is planning to give away a pitty by craigslist soon, DONT and wait for awhile!!!! They act like they’re going to adopt them and act all nice then they get rid of them, don’t be fooled!!

DM me for uncensored names!!!!!!!!

I loved that the main focus of the story was Carlos and how brave he was to come out gay at such a young age and in such a small town.

Seeing LGBT representation in this episode made me cry with happiness. Representation in Disney productions aimed at children. This is a victory we must celebrate.

Seriously Seb's voice is beautiful and his performance was wonderful. The power and meaning of the scene is inexplicable, I cried seeing it.
