beware of more plot holes and reasons why this book was so ...?????

We got the Parabatai Ceremony that was supposed to happen in book 1 and it was so...underwhelming? Futile?

so many things in chot are like, straight up nonsensical. like the whole Esme making up the family tree and James & Lucie losing their powers when Belial "died" etc, none of that made sense and felt like cc was just taking the easy way out instead of dealing of the repercussions of things she wrote and published

#lazy writing #chain of thorns spoilers

Also, no “[some shadowhunter] will be stripped off their marks scene” mentioned by Jem or did we all imagine it?

is it just me or did some of these things... never happen

also no "dying in your arms" quote 😐

“lucie has never had romantic feelings towards matthew and thinks of him as a brother!!!” 

this argument is a true goldmine for mucie nation, thank you for helping me prove a negative:

then why has she never referred to him as her cousin? it would make perfect sense since

1) she refers to his parents as aunt charlotte and uncle henry 

2) she has no problem calling another merry thief (that she isn’t related to) her cousin, aka thomas

3) she and james have referred to charles, matthew’s brother, as their (annoying) older cousin

what is the difference then? why wouldn’t lucie consider matthew a cousin when she clearly has no problem referring to other affectionate bonds as blood relations?

because. she. has. fancied. him. since. they. were. kids. 

it’s that easy. i’m not saying she’s consciously head over heels for him at this point in the story. i’m just saying their dynamic is more complex than matthew simply having a puppy crush on her and lucie not reciprocating. goodnight

“Many of my movies have strong female leads - brave, self-sufficient girls that don’t think twice about fighting for what they believe in with all their heart. They’ll need a friend, or a supporter, but never a saviour. Any woman is just as capable of being a hero as any man.” -Hayao Miyazaki

Happy International Women’s Day!

Herondale Manor - January 28, 1886.

Happy Birthday to my dearest Tessa 💖

For whatever reason I have never posted this artwork here, so here it finally is! More under the cut -

I had this drawing of Tessa pregnant with baby James seeking some late-night peace and quiet sitting around for a while (as you can probably guess from my art style’s difference). It may be due a re-draw! We’ll see...

Words cannot express how important Tessa is to me- she’s always been my favorite character, since we first met as both 17 years olds. 🥰

Anyway, as always, thank you for all the support you show me and my art. Should I do a follow up with baby Jamie and Tessa expecting Lucie? 🤰🏻

Why do we keep hurting ourselves I ask, why

(BTW I still don’t subscribe to the whole “Matthew is going to be a vampire” thing)

@destinedtobemine: haha imagine if Lucie becomes an Iron Sister and Matthew becomes a vampire

me: WAIT this would be a perfect reverse parallelism to Tessa being immortal and Jem a Silent Brother—

“Because all she would get to create as an Iron Sister would be weapons, tools of destruction, not art.”

I. Am. Not. Fine.

I got the Lucie being somewhat (?) immortal theory because I saw how CC got asked whether James' / Lucie's demon blood has effects on their ageing and CC said we cannot know yet because they are the first Shadowhunters of their kind. I think Tessa's sparse narratives on what happened after Will's death highly suggest that James is dead but are ambiguous about Lucie's fate.

Maybe Lucie will also become an Iron Sister? And potentially leave again? Somebody will definitely become an Iron Sister and it is definitely Lucie or Grace.

The most valid argument against vampire Matthew is definitely that he has not appeared yet. But he could have really gone far off the Shadowhunters' radar or he appeared as a minor character that we never really noticed.

I'm personally not fully sold on the theory of James and Lucie having longer life spans but it does make sense, so we shouldn't role it out entirely.

I agree that one of them might become an Iron Sister, although my money is more on Grace. Because her other alternative, narratively, is to die in sacrifice, so becoming an Iron Sister is somewhat a gentler fate. Besides, we had somebody become a Silent Brother in TID and we've never seen anyone become an Iron Sister. It would parallel Tatiana's "exile" at the Citadel, and we could argue that Grace's entire existence is an allegory around metal...

If Lucie were to become an Iron Sister, it would explain why we sort of lose track of her throughout history and why her books are not remembered, but I would cry a lot, so I'm not entertaining the thought right now. Because all she would get to create as an Iron Sister would be weapons, tools of distraction, not art. So I'm staying in my little bubble where she is exiled to the mundane world and gets to be a writer. A mediocre one, perhaps, but free to create as she wishes. It's all we humble writers can aspire to.

I maintain that IF Matthew does become a vampire at the end of TLH, he will have died by the 90s. Killed in a raid by Valentine or his Circle. IMAGINE IF JOCELYN FAIRCHILD HAD A HAND IN IT--

Do you guys MEAN to get pain when you ask me questions?????
