herongraystairs never had one bad track

"You think she's pretty?" Will was surprised; Jem rarely opined on this sort of thing.

"Yes, and you do too."

"I hadn't noticed, really."

"Yes, you have, and I've noticed you noticing." BANGER

“Tessa was only halfway down the corridor when they caught up to her- Will and Jem, walking on either side of her. "You didn’t really think we weren't going to come along, did you?" ICONIC

“Perhaps she's a girl who's fallen madly in love with me and persists in following me wherever I go."

"My talent is shape-shifting, Will, not acting," said Tessa, and at that, Jem laughed out loud. Will glared at him. SURREAL

AND DON’T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON "What you said before, she asked. "That Jace Herondale loves Clarissa Fairchild more than anyone you've ever known except someone - you never finished the sentence. Who was it?"

"I was going to say you and me and Will”

Am I the only one who hopes Dru won't be a swordswoman? because as all the main female characters (except Tessa) are swordswoman, it's a bit boring in the long run

rating the shadowhunter main girlies by how horny they are

clary:

was kinda incest-y with multiple guys so that has to count for something

banged jace for the first time in a CAVE in HELL

created the birth control rune😭😭

overall 7/10

tessa:

found out her fiancé died and decided to fuck his best friend on the same day!!

still managed to wait for marriage with will though (which i find sliiiiightly unbelievable)

not incredibly horny because it is the victorian era and she would've been stoned or whatever idk

5/10

emma:

the first shadowhunter girlie not to lose her virginity to the love interest 🎉🎉

attempted to do the tango with julian right afTER HIS SISTER DIED?!?!

they also fucked in the first book which is record speed for shadowhunters

feels like 9/10

cordelia:

hehehe did some light bondage on james

made out with matthew on the streets of paris and was fully prepared to have sex if james didn't show up

always thinking about james' hair and eyes in a way that has some sexual undertones?? am i the only one seeing it like that??

overall 7/10

Is it just me or is Tessa’s trauma severely overlooked? Like I feel like barely anyone mentions that she lost everyone she had ever known and went to live with her brother only to get kidnapped and then tortured like I feel like people forget that part of her story sometimes but maybe I’m just not seeing those posts. But still, remembering that and seeing how Tessa still chooses to act makes my respect for her grow more and more.

Can we please appreciate more the fact that Jem is the stepfather of James and Lucie and Will is the stepfather of Mina and Kit

Will: Tessa and I are no longer dating.

Tessa: Will, that’s a horrible way of telling people we’re married.

do you guys think that whenever tessa and jem call kit by “christopher” or even just kit, they think of their nephew who died at his age and never got to live a full life. falls to my knees sobbing

#bc i think about it #christopher lightwood #kit rook #kit herondale #tessa gray #tessa carstairs #jem carstairs #tessa herondale #it makes me want to sob and scream #when they see kit do they think of someone who died at kits age without living the life they should have #it makes christophers death worse than dying after living a full long life #tda #tlh #chot spoilers #chain of thorns spoilers #chot

warlocks and menstruation

so I was thinking how biologically it doesn’t make sense for warlocks to menstruate indefinitely. like we’re all born with our eggs or whatever follicle thingos will develop into them, they don’t just replenish like sperm, eventually they’ll run out after 50 years or less like maybe for a warlock with 2-3 times our egg count you could push it to 100 but that is quite far from forever. of course, apart from Tessa, all warlocks are sterile and so there isn’t really a problem there, only the question of whether they menstruate to begin with. I’ll get back to my theory of what does happen with Tessa soon but first I have to ask an important question: why, when checking if Tessa was a warlock, did they not first ask whether she gets normal periods? Shadowhunters do as far as we know they’re just normal humans in that. Warlocks—the accords were new enough and periods taboo enough then that it’s possible Shadowhunters just never bothered to check that. But still. It’s a question that should have been asked, given that Tessa was 16 when she came and more than old enough to have started her period by then.

(she also didn’t have iratzes for her cramps like Charlotte and jessamine and lucie and everyone)

Anyway I’m going to assume that given she never thinks anything is weird Tessa did have her period when she came to the Institute. I’m also going to assume by something that idiot Mortmain who knew nothing of biology (but did seem to know Tessa’s species as well as anyone) said that she wasn’t going to be able to reproduce just yet at 17 (hence the lack of pregnancy scare after the cave yknow cause they def didn’t use protection) which does set her apart from humans and Shadowhunters—we know that you’re Very Fertile at that age (which Tatiana found out for comparison). We also know that she had two children one year apart, and then none for at least 17 years if not 125 years. And she was quite sexually active with Will between the early 1880s and sometime in the 1930s (yes sperm quality does decline with age but if you have enough sex it stacks up your chances and at some point it’s always possible) in a time where birth control wasn’t nearly as reliable as it is today (all I’m saying is I don’t put their lack of a third child down to birth control).

so, in order to attempt to figure out Tessa’s uterus I’m going to visit the animal kingdom, especially birds: within this class you have birds who alt-menstruate (lay eggs) pretty much all year round til later in life (chickens) which are like humans in that regard, we’re fertile all year. You also have birds (like 99% of them actually) that are fertile at a very specific time of every year and mate and lay 3-4 eggs only (chickens can lay up to 300 eggs a year or more if they’re selectively bred for it; naturally this figure is closer to 150 without human intervention and selective breeding) and sit on them and hatch them. Then spend the rest of the year with their reproductive organs dormant (did you know a bird’s reproductive organs grow 300 times bigger during their laying season?) and I figure, I think I solved our mystery.

Because you’re not going to run out of eggs if you make it a cyclical seasonal kind of thing. Not annual, warlocks live far too long for that, but the earth has more cycles than just annual ones, ENSO and the Indian Ocean Dipole are examples of that. So I propose that Tessa menstruates for a couple years on and then several years off, like 99% of birds if you just stretched out time to be more like warlock time. Which would make sense as to why she had James and Lucie in such a small window and heavily reduce her chances of and accidental third pregnancy with Victorian/Edwardian era birth control.

tldr I don’t think Tessa menstruates consistently for 150+ years

If Will were a ghost, he'd haunt Kit so much. Not only because of Jem and Tessa, but because the angsty boy wants nothing to do with him and he thinks it funny.
