Hi Cassie!! Sorry to bother you but I feel like Ty would be more likely to have panic attacks than Dru. I have evaluated the situation and Ty seems to have more trauma and anxiety than her. Adding onto that I’m hoping Kit and Ash don’t have too similar powers. I feel like Kit should be more powerful as Ash only as Ash didn’t get much powers especially since the king didn’t have the black volume the whole time he had Ash. I also think Kit she be more powerful than Magnus for reasons.

I've gotten a lot of emails about how Ty should be the one who has panic attacks, not Dru. Usually the idea is that he should have panic attacks because he has 'more trauma and anxiety' than Dru, specifically because of Livvy's death and Ty being "more close" to her.

The thing is, that isn't how characters work because it isn't how people work. “Amount of trauma” is not an objective measurable thing, and not everyone responds the same ways even to the same things happening to them.

Of course Ty and Dru have both experienced trauma. But it is not as if there is a certain "level of trauma", like "level 6" beyond which everyone has panic attacks, and Ty is a trauma 7 while Dru is only a trauma 5. None of that is how people work or panic disorders work or really how anything works. The question is a lot about, I think, an anxiety that somehow because Dru has panic attacks this means the narrative will consider Ty to have no trauma at all and be dandy about everything, and I can only say that that's not the case.

One thing I rarely see acknowledged in these letters is that Ty is not grieving Livvy currently. Everyone else in his family is, but he lives with her, she talks to him all the time, she's entirely present in his life. Yes, she is a ghost, but people can get by on a lot less than Ty has with Livvy. I think it's worth noting that what Ty is currently experiencing re: Livvy is not grief but denial.

At the end of the day, there are all sorts of ways of responding to trauma and grief. The acknowledgement that someone has been through trauma is not something they have to earn, nor are panic attacks a thing given to one character at the expense of another who has somehow deserved them more. What is important about how characters respond to loss and trauma is that it be consistent with the character and their growth, and that's something that can't be evaluated before a book is read. :)

As for Kit having the most powers of anyone, well, we will see. It's not really how power works in the Shadowhunter world. We don't spend a lot of time thinking about whether Clary or Magnus is more powerful because what they can do is so different, and what Kit and Ash can do is also very different. Also in evaluating who gets what power level I would say it's important to consider whether they will be friends or deadly enemies – which is something we don't yet know!

Re-reading the acomaf inn scene (as one does), and noticed Rhys repeats the “what is it you want, Feyre?” line the same way he repeated it during their fight outside the CoN 🥺

-

Poor thing was so, so desperate to hear her say that he was what she wanted.

And when she finally says it—

He just wants to hear her say it again 🥺 Like he can’t quite believe it

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

Need to have an open circle discussion about the tenderness of Rhys bringing a STORY to Azriel as a gift about overcoming impossible odds. The implications of this alone - that he viewed the story as a gift, something you can carry within your soul because of the message it carries. The way Azriel seems to be the most spiritual of the Bat Boys. The way he passed the story onto Feyre. I’m just.

Stories are a deep medicine that nobody can take away from you. Azriel who grew up in darkness with only his ability to “hope despite all obstacles,” a quality that Rhys values in him, is heartbreaking but also highlights how it makes sense that he would value something intangible. They’re something you can’t touch but you can FEEL. I’m just —

Has anyone read Vengeful by VE SCHWAB?

I just finished the book and I genuinely so confused with the ending. Like what happened to Victor? Is he alive? Did the doctor tranquilliser help? Did he make more and stop the episodes? What did the blackout text mean?

Vicious was one of my fave reads it was incredible but Vengeful while it has a very promising first half it didn’t deliver and while I enjoyed reading it, the finale of the book left me especially underwhelmed.

Ruhn stared at her. Still said nothing.

The world seems to hold its breath as the elegant doe walked up to Ruhn and gently, lovingly, nuzzled his neck.
