Escape screen time, rearrange furniture, open all the windows even if it’s cold, drop the baggage, drop the stuff piled up in the closet, drop the clothes I haven’t worn since 2019, go outside every day, breathe fresh air, stay out until it gets dark, feel the sun on my face

the percy jackson show is making me feel so many things because it’s so well done and genuinely healing my inner child. like i grew up with percy, i learnt magic with this guy, people know me from it, my parents know some of the jokes because of how obsessed i used to be, i made friends because of the series. most of my middle school life was spent obsessing over the books it’s such a full circle moment

i think we should all admit how lonely we are. then we should talk. it will all be okay if we risk being authentic

#im lonely every time i get the chance to think

what if i stopped caring and became the easiest person ever to get along with and all it cost was my spirit

#holy shit #its just #perfect timing tonight

being 18 and learning about people is so crazy. because how do adults still have faith in people? in the world? my "guy best friend" just said something so misogynistic and blatantly rude so casually. I'm surprised but I'm more scared. are all people like this? Will I never be pretty? is being beautiful really the only thing that matters? so what if I find it hard to study, does that mean I'm worthless? I don't know how to live like this and I don't know if I want to...I don't want to define myself based on such irrelevant standards, I just want to be love and be loved.

#this is just a ramble honestly #is this a man thing? is this what MEN do? #or does everyone think that way? #its so silly i know #but i wish the world was better

the more time that passes the more I realise how LITTLE we learnt from chot. like the only things that we found out that affected the later books was why mina won't have belial powers and Jesse's tomb from sobh. Matthew's flask ?? the beautiful cordelia?? the door from los that kit, livvy and ty find?? the weird herondale-blackthorn entwined paper kit finds in blackthorn hall?? why everyone was so sad about matthew later on? WHY THE CARSTAIRS OWE THE HERONDALES??? WHEN DO WE FIND OUT ALL THIS???

#and like maybe she'll tell us in twp but the effect of it will be dulled so tragically #she gave us 400 pages of the worst love triangle and no answers #i really hope that writing break she's taking this year works out because i have so many hopes on twp #tsc #kit herondale #twp #sobh #ty blackthorn #tlh #kitty #james herondale #tessa gray #will herondale #wessa #matthew fairchild #thomas lightwood #alastair carstairs #thomstair #cordelia carstairs #christopher lightwood #chain of thorns #chain of gold #chain of iron #the last hours

I'm gonna say it, the matthew/cordelia/james love triangle was the WORST in all of tsc. literally every other love triangle was handled better I truly hated reading about that.

#i didnt even hate it in like a good way #it was so unnecessary tbh like matthews addiction was a strong enough plotline #and also matthew saw cordelia as some sort of salvation not as someone to love be fr #ugh that ruined tlh for me a little bit #gonna pretend tlh is a duology 👍👍 #tsc #tlh #the last hours #matthew fairchild #james herondale #cordelia carstairs #thomas lightwood #thomastair #alastair carstairs #fairstairs #jordelia #herondaisy

i have SO many thoughts about chain of thorns so if you haven’t read it yet SCROLL AGGRESSIVELY PAST THIS because i’m shamelessly using this post to collect my thoughts and not forget the book.

okay so the best things ever are as follows:

1. SHUT UP THOMAS! god i loved every single time that line came up. like yes you simp, it is embarrassing but also yes alastair is literal perfection and nobody blames you, baby.

2. okay this one is kinda niche-ish but i just loved every time jesse interacted w the merry thieves, like obviously he was always going to interact w them but just the visual of james, matthew and jesse training together gave me sm fckin serotonin.

3. james and matthew. okay i REALLY wish we got to see more of them repairing their friendship and talking and shit but whatever we DID get made me cry every single time. like every time matthew smiled at him or wtv i was just crying, i swear im not even that emotional.

4. actually the amount of merry thieves content, just every scene where thomas and christopher are trying to mend matthew and james, i was a MESS by the time i reached the sleeping in front of the fire scene fr

5. jordelia smut. lol.

6. lucie and jesse’s dynamic, like everyone expected jesse to be kinda silent and reserved but 3 seconds w lucie and he’s as witty as matthew.

7. the watchers plotline, i literally thought that was so clever tbh

8. JAMES SHOWING UP IN PARIS! LMAO THIS MADE ME REACT SO EXPRESSIVELY, no i literally almost passed out. it was fucking AWESOME, i will definitely reread that scene every time i feel like i need an adrenaline rush.

9. lucie admiring cordelia’s boobs <3

10. THE FIRE MESSAGES!! i was j really happy to see kit, grace and jesse be helpful because they were all constantly treated as useless throughout the book/series.

11. EUGENIA! she was just a delight, i really thought there was some matthew/eugenia setting up going on but alas. i j loveed her vibe throughout the book

12. esme hardcastle, scholars and historians HATE her! not me tho, she’s so real for forever messing up the perception of the shadowhunter families for generations to come

NOW FOR THE BAD THINGS (there are a lot, i have issues w this book)

1. NOTHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS TO MATTHEW. i LOVE matthew okay, he’s my fav in tlh but ALL THAT BUILDUP FOR NOTHING??? i was waiting and waiting so patiently. when belial took him to edom i was like ‘this is it, he’ll torture matthew to get to james, and some irreparable shit happens to him’ but NOTHING?? i was like actually pissed off, i really wanted something to happen lol. and idk if cassie’s going to write a spinoff on matthew but thats the only way she can explain the fact that tessa has reminisced sadly about matthew MULTPILE TIMES!

2. the fckin love triangle. it annoyed me and always has. i feel like christopher and thomas were right and that matthew saw cordelia as some sort of salvation for him, that made complete sense. BUT THEY NEVER BRING IT UP AGAIN! during the epilogue when matthew and cordelia talk i was SURE he’d tell her he didn’t think he atually loved her but he. did. not. i was immensely disappointed. i think i was j overall disappointed w matthew’s plotline the whole time tbh </3

3. intermission grief. okay cassandra clare is really fckin good at writing character deaths and how other character’s react to it so i was so so excited to see how people were going to react. i was prepared to absolutely sob my guts off. but i did not shed a single tear. this might j be a me thing tbh but still. i feel like there was wayyy too much going on and it didn’t feel like an ‘intermission’. i get that the plot was firing up and many things were meant to happen and that it was a critical time, but i wish there was more sadness to it.

4. okay look. im gay, i’m very gay and i wish awesome things for all gay people. but this WAS the edwardian era, i think it was wayy too idealistic for cassie to make all the parents totally fine w their kids being gay. like ari was the only one who faced any repercussions but even alec 100 years later faced more than her yk? that plotline just did not make sense to me 

5. i know this book is about the next generation but i feel like chog and choi had a healthy amount of tid characters, but they were barely there in this one and i miss them.

6. cordelia and lucie becoming parabatai. this one was so stupid to me, like they spent almost 60% of the book fighting. and maybe if the parabatai age was like 20 or sumthn it would’ve made sense but the book was literally several reasons for them not to be parabatai but doing it anyway.

7. the plotholes? idk if they’ll be resolved in later books but i really wanted to know some stuff yk. how is rupert still stuck? when does lucie throw away the beautiful cordelia and let it be stashed in the devil tavern? how does matthew’s flask show up at the tavern? 

8. this is not a bad thing but im kinda confused, so like since the family tree is all messed up are the current blackthorns related to lucie and jesse? or are they related to the american blackthorn branch? I NEED TO KNOW

aand thats it. i also wanted to note that he phrase ‘cordelia ran’ was used approximately 4847904 times. happy chot week everyone!!

Kit's Diary

Chapter 7

Dear Ty,

today, Leo and Sam visited after school, so I guess you might want me to tell you about that.

We had sport again today, but I didn't almost die this time because our teacher decided to teach us how to use a Waveboard instead of doing something too straining.

Afterwards I had art. The teacher, Miss Gabriels, really thought she could convince me, that I'm good at painting. She gave us a box with folded papers in it. We had to draw three of them out of the box. On each paper was a word and we were supposed to paint something that involved all three words. I got spoon, dice and chicken. I spend the rest of the first hour thinking about what I should paint, until Leo, who was already done with her first painting, suggested I could draw a bowl full of chicken soup with dice noodles and a soon on the side. I tried to paint it with watercolours and... eh... Miss Gabriels couldn't quite guess what it's supposed to be. But she said I should try abstract art. To my defense, I never tried to paint with watercolours, so it's not my fault.

After art we had maths again, the teacher made us watch a video he made about the topic and then gave us some tasks we have to do for Monday.

Then Leo, Sam and I went to my place, because Tessa invited them for lunch. They both immediately fell in love with Mina and Mina declared them her new best friends. Like she didn't tell me that I'm her best friend yesterday. So loyal... I see.

Anyways, after lunch I showed them our library and since Leo said that we would look really smart, when we did our homework in the library, so we decided to do that and spend the whole time in the library in the library, trying to answer our analysis questions for English, while laughing at our attempts to impersonate the two love birds. We also researched on the books and movies for the history project and it was quickly decided that, since we all wanted to read something about the Elizabethan Age, we would work together. We found some books about Elizabeth I:

- The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory

- The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn by Robin Maxwell

- Legacy by Susan Kay

- Elizabeth I by Margaret George

- The Tournament by Matthew Reilly

Now we just have to choose which one we like best. I think the first two are the most interesting. We decided to read the summaries of the books, choose one and decide on Monday together which one we will choose.

After that we ended our homework session and went to my room. I don't remember who had that idea, but we decided to play "never have I ever", but without alcohol because, you know, we're all still underage.

At 7 pm on point, Mina interrupted us, because she wanted to show Sam and Leo our house. If you never saw Cirenworth before, you should know, it's big. Very big. So, we spend the next hour following Mina around the house and afterwards ate dinner.

Before they left, Tessa allowed Leo to borrow some books from our library, and guess which books she took? Sherlock Holmes! I didn't even know we had them. When we see eachother again, you need to read them. There are probably also annotations from whoever read it before in it.

~

Sorry, I had to interrupt here, Mina wanted me to read her a goodnight story. She's so cute. Way more cute than all the other toddlers I've seen. But I might be biased as her brother. Did you also think Tavvy was cute when he was younger?

Sometimes I wonder what it's like to have children. Would we have children if we were together in future? They surely would be cute. Just think about a little you. Awwwww.

Okay, stop simping Kit!

I'm sorry. That was way to cheesy. I'm going to bed now.

Love,

Kit

Now I do need your help: Which of the books would you read?

jessa literally searched the world a million times to find kit. if Matthew was alive this whole time, he would be living w them. so Matthew can't be a vamp. also he's not allowed to go through that much pain I hope this helps 💖

“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”

no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it

#truly not that deep tbh #like slang is just slang people use words for comedic effect 90% of the time #you cant expect someone to know the roots and origins of every word in a casual conversation c'mon now #besides oppressed minorities on tiktok seem to have fun with the words as far as i've seen but each to their own with that
