Can you rank ur fav to least fav couples in the shadowhunter world and why u rank them there 🤪🫶?

I definitely have done this before lol but sure! I'm only going to provide short reasons for most of them, though, because there are so many. I'm only including endgame ships (with one exception) because otherwise this list would be insane.

Thomastair (tied with Wessa) -> So hopeful. So healing. Soulmates right there. Best friends in love. Share interests. Perfectly-matched dispositions. They love every part of each other, even when those parts are snappish or petty. Loving someone's flaws, the pretty and the ugly, always gets me. The heart in this ship hits hard. Also, a ship where I love and adore both characters individually as well as together.

Wessa (tied with Thomastair, put slightly lower because their story makes me sad sometimes) -> Another ship where two of my individual faves get together. It's the BOOKISHNESS of it all, the banter, the joy, the love. They have perfect chemistry, and like Tessa says, Will is a person like her. They let each other shine. He lets her bejeweled. Also they're super funny together, like they should form a comedy duo.

Gracetopher -> Deserved better. Deserved the WORLD. Aggg this had the potential to be healing and hopeful in a similar way to Thomastair. I love both individual characters, though I'm not as attached to them as Thomas, Alastair, Will, or Tessa. Or Matthew, #1 fave, who isn't on this list.

Sophideon -> Their entire courtship is hilarious. Scone incident? Blurted proposal? Awkward himbo meets headstrong girl will never fail.

Malec -> So nostalgic for me. They're really well written and have a great arc. They make me feel like a giddy teenager again as I was when I read TMI for the first time.

Ragnor/Catarina -> The only non-canon ship on this list. I see the vision.

Jordelia -> This may come as a surprise since I think their dynamic is a bit boring to watch. But I love Cordelia and James clearly makes her happy.

Gwynburn -> The only good thing about TDA. Such a good story.

Gabriely -> Adorable and funny

Chenry -> Adorable.

KitTy -> They have a LOT of potential, but I don't quite see it yet. Still, I'm excited to learn more about them, and they very well could move up this list a lot.

Clace -> Cute. Gotta respect the OGs.

Haline -> Hilarious. Fun. By far TSC's superior sapphic ship.

Dru/Ash -> Currently neutral, but potential.

Sizzy -> Neutral feelings

Maia/Bat -> Neutral feelings

Ghostwriter -> Great story! Unfortunately, the characters are both extremely lackluster imo so it never realizes its full potential

Arianna -> Toxic AF, Ari could do better, but okay I guess. I don't care enough to get pressed, and I like Ari, so they stay here.

Luke/Jocelyn -> They exist

Kierarktina -> Queen of the savior complex, lowkey asshole, and highkey asshole? Poorly developed polyamory. Nope.

Jemma Blackstairs -> God I hate both of these characters. At least they deserve each other, though. 0/10.

Jessa -> Don't like Jem, boring dynamic, he doesn't let her bejeweled and her sparkle is dulled around him so much. Do not see the appeal. Literally they are ruining new content for me left and right, I plan to skip all of their scenes for the rest of TSC unless there are Blorbo Mentions.

Is that it? I think that's it. I hope I didn't forget anyone.

As per the DIY blorbos post you recently reblogged from me, I gather you have OCs. Please, tell me ALL about them? Especially the random little things that you just. LOVE

!!!!!! yES OHO YES BLESS YOU THANK YOU THIS IS THE MOST EXCITING ASK EVER I MAy have spent the entire day at work watching the clock 'til i could get home and answer this slkjkfdsf but here are tidbits about some of my blorbos!!!

Bracer: a very nice man, a Corrie medic who secretly ends up a husband and father - though he never gets to meet his child D: but we wont’ talk about that; he’s a little younger than Kix and was basically mentored by him on Kamino - Kix is his ori’vod and up until deployment, his best friend. They don’t get to talk much after that, but they keep in touch as best they can, and Bracer ends up thriving on Coruscant. His trainer knew he would and pulled some strings to make sure he was sent there; Bracer dreams of becoming a real chemist and hopes to take classes when the war is over, in the meantime he gets to mess around in a lab and also with a sticker machine. He loves kids very much and always stuffs his pockets with stickers and candy for those that hang around the Corries’ headquarters. Sometimes they draw him pictures in return and he’s working on getting a sleeve tattooed that’s bits and parts of all their drawings put together. Oh, and he got his name bc he is an absent-minded darling who doesn’t always think things through and decided to sedate his trainer while he was on Kamino in order to make him take a nap. It...did not end well for him and his face is permanently lopsided now, but the sedating part itself worked quite well so he does the same to Fox almost immediately after he arrives on Coruscant. Also he keeps pictures of his daughter’s ultrasound images in his armour and his wife lives in perpetual anxiety that he’ll accidentally leave them somewhere, but those are the one thing he never loses. They’re just too important to him.

Knack: works in the medwing with Bracer, is a mix of medic and mechanic - he’s one of the clones in charge of maintaining the medical droids and equipment. So named bc he is Salty (NaCl) and usually looks annoyed with life but he’s a very loyal friend and a caring one, once you look past the Perpetually Annoyed Eyebrows. He knows about Bracer’s marriage and as-of-yet-unborn daughter and secretly looks forward to being an uncle and then he has to tell Bracer’s wife about Sad Things and ends up trying to fill the role of father figure instead but anyways

Ulya: a smol girl, a little child. She’s Fi and Parja’s daughter and their eldest, she’s got Fi’s eyes and Parja’s hair and a personality all of her own; most of the clan thinks she takes more after Fi but Fi sees Parja’s steadiness and selflessness in her. Ulya is just the happiest little girl, always giggling even though she’s not very talkative, and often shy. She takes longer than her cousins to start talking at all and she has the crooked spine/lung issue combo deal that some children are born with and eventually grow out of; she will too but in the meantime her family (specially Fi and Kal) goes rather easier on her than usual for a mando child cause she just can’t keep up and also they are extra protective of her. She loves music and Fi takes her out for trips in their speeder just so she can listen to the radio with him and dance in the front seat while Parja’s not around to say it’s dangerous. She’s very much a daddy’s girl really; sometimes Fi has bad head days or just plain drowning-in-bad-memories days and has to go be quiet away from everybody else except his girls, and Ulya always seems to know and searches him out to give him cuddles and sit in his lap until he sends her away to sit with Kal instead, or make cookies with Ny, or help her uncles with their chores. She clashes with Parja sometimes cause she always wants to do what Parja is doing in the shop and doesn’t like to be told no, she can’t play with power tools and sharp bits of metal, but she admires Parja greatly and always has to have her hair done exactly like her mum’s. She especially admires how brave Parja is around Mird, Ulya is more than a little afraid of Mird. But Parja lets Ulya hold her hand whenever Mird is around and tells her uncles off if they start teasing her about hiding behind Parja, so Ulya thinks someday she might be okay with Mird - maybe when she’s a little bigger and looks less like a strill-sized snack.

Versie: a senator’s aide, a dramatic darling, an idealistic nuisance with warm gold eyes and delicate freckles and soft black hair and a deceptively porcelain-doll-like appearance - in reality she’s stubborn and passionate and yells a lot, though she’s very short so her voice gets high and squeaky very quickly and it’s hard to take her seriously. Especially for the clones, who can all easily pat her on the head or swing her over their shoulder without warning (which they very often do, esp Jaing). Versie finds out secrets she is not supposed to know and is hunted down by one of the commando squads; luckily for her it is Omega Squad and as soon as she sets eyes on Niner she thinks ‘yes I can trust this man’ and tells him absolutely everything, which is in hindsight a bad idea but turned out well for her. Niner “duty is my middle name” Skirata does not like the idea of Treasonous Things going on in the Senate and takes her to Kal, who thinks once she’s given up her information she can be dropped off on some nice remote planet with a new identity but nooooo Versie is not about that. She will not leave and she sets out to make herself useful, in the meantime she falls head over heels for Niner because who wouldn’t and oh boy is that a struggle cause this is Niner we’re talking about - esp after Certain Events in which he does not come home and Versie just about loses her entire mind. But everything ends alright of course bc i am a Sap and can’t actually write angst without immediately making it better XD

...there’s more under the cut oh gosh slkdfjdsf this is getting so long but -

Kythiree: a cardigan-wearing, insect-loving, ex-Jedi padawan accountant who works for the GAR’s finance department and is specifically in charge of the Coruscant Guard’s bookkeeping. She’s very good at forging handwriting (don’t ask her why, she won’t tell) and does sneaky little math tricks to give the Corries new caf machines and potted plants and nice new mattresses whenever they need them, she keeps Fox company during long nights of paperwork, and she rattles on about butterflies and beetles to him until he falls asleep at his desk - which she doesn’t mind in the least, it’s kind of her goal XD She knows her mother was a Nightsister and she assumes her father was a human, but she doesn’t know anything about them - she was found in a spaceport wandering around by herself when she was a toddler and taken to the Jedi temple cause she’s got mild Force abilities courtesy of her mother, but she wasn’t really good enough to make the grade, so when she found out it was AgriCorps or nothing, she chose nothing and left the Order to go to school instead. She’s still on good terms with the Jedi, though; she collects specialty tea for Obi-wan in exchange for unusual insects he finds on his excursions, and she gets her former best friend and Jedi knight Indra (who’s very good with animals) to come tour the Corries’ kennels with her once in a while. She also partially inherited her mother’s grey-white skin and she’s got the usual pale grey eyes, and then thanks to her dad she has hair slfjdssj naturally it is sort of blonde-ish, but she loves colour! So she dyes her hair bright bright red, it hangs in a sheet down to her knees and has about a million beetles and replica flowers braided into it at all times. And she’s always got layers and layers of colourfully patterned clothing; long dresses and tunics on top of those and cardigans on top of those.

Fiddler and Pins and Pens: i need to develop them further but - Pins and Pens are besties, Fiddler was part of their squad on Kamino and their friend but he got assigned to the Guard and Pins and Pens got assigned to the front lines. Pins is so named bc he is entirely disorganized and scatters hair pins wherever he goes, Pens is so named bc he wanted a name that matched his best friend’s and also bc he always has a stylus stuck in his bun. Fiddler is an artist and just the most warm-hearted of lads, Fox adopts him on sight after he attempts to fend off a mean senator.

Nibbler: a literal toddler, a baby clone, a menace. The bane of Alpha-17′s life, but also a ray of sunshine in it. So named bc he likes to bite people, or furniture, or soap - it’s all the same to him, if it exists, he’s going to either lick or bite it. Has seemingly endless energy and is honestly a very good-natured toddler, if you ignore the aforementioned energy and biting and general penchant for mischief.

....that was really long i beg your pardon!!! but those are my most beloved DIY blorbos...thus far XD i am in the process of fleshing out an entire happily ever after AU for repcomm which means there are going to be about a thousand children D: and even more wives D: and i am starting to understand why the author did not let them all have a happy ending if simply for her own peace of mind slkdfjdslkf anyways. anyways for now, these are my beloveds <3

#oh wow did i just use *all* of my words XD i have no moer to use at all bUT I LOVED THIS ASK THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SENDING IT <3 <3 <3 #i sat in my cubicle and squished my hand over my mouth and kicked my legs and squeaked happily under my breath for like at LEAST fifteen #minutes <3 <3 <3 this is the nicest hecking ask i could absolutely cry; how are you SO NICE <3 <3 <3 #thank you sosososoossoossoso much <3 <3 <3 #ask #accidentalspice tag 🐦#emma's ocs
