I saw someone comment on tiktok that while Tessa had a lifetime with both Will and Jem, they only had 5 years together.

Tessa : can you take out this trash?

Kit : (take the trash) sure thing, mom

Kit : I mean mem— mum— sir?! Gotta go!

Later

Tessa, crying in happiness in front of Jem : and then he called me mom!!

Kit, crying in embarrassment in front of Dru : AND THEN I CALLED HER MOM!

chain of thorns theory time since it's coming out in a couple of weeks!

I'm like 100% convinced lucie is getting her marks stripped. obviously this is a really popular theory but I want to list all the reasons I think it's gonna happen

the main one is that necromancy is a pretty huge deal for shadowhunters and mark stripping is the punishment for extreme law violations and especially considering lucie's warlock heritage the clave would want to make an example out of her

jem said he watched only one person's marks get stripped and the fact that he hated it so much that he refused to do it to emma and julian despite the urgency of their situation and a literal curse looming over their heads makes me think it was someone he cared about

cordelia being insecure about lucie possibly not wanting to be her parabatai anymore… it'd be ironic if they become parabatai and then their bond gets broken because lucie gets her marks stripped

magnus saying "james and lucie… the ones I saved and the ones I couldn't"…… HE COULDN'T SAVE LUCIE

lucie and edmund parallels and lucie being the second herondale to have their marks stripped

sooooo in conclusion lucie is definitely getting her marks stripped and since jesse can't bear marks anyway they're gonna live together as mundanes and their kids will return to the shadowhunter world like will and cecily did and continue the blackthorn line

also on a sort of related theory I think bridget being alive in tda is definitely the result of one of lucie's necromancy attempts going wrong

on the other hand there's also the possibility of matthew getting his marks stripped which also sounds icredibly likely to me like maybe he takes the fall for jesse's resurrection to protect lucie or something and it would also be delicious af because if he does get his marks stripped then both will and james will have felt their parabatai bond snap <3 cute father/son parallels <3 anyway one thing for sure about matthew is that he's gonna end BADLY badly like tessa's first thought when he's mentioned is "oh poor matthew" it's bad for him I fear

Parabatai love: platonic, romantic ou something beyond?

You know, there's something that's been bugging me ever since I joined the TSC fandom in 2017, which is the way some fans get outraged when someone ships parabatai as a romantic couple. I know there are high controversies of what exactly the parabatai bond is all about, so I decided to give my opinion on it.

First of all, I'm not here to force you to like them romantically (because I myself am PASSIONATE about platonic connections), but rather to try to understand together how their bonding works. 

There is a law that forbids them to love each other romantically, as old as any other Shadowhunters' law. And where there is a law, there are reasons. Jem explains a bit in TDA about the reason, and that the connection that exists between parabatai unleashes a man-made power, with no direct relation to the angels, which makes parabatai magic dangerous. In this case, it gives the pair such incredible power that it can turn them into either true nephilim (giants) or great mages. But since there is the corruption, in both cases where this happened there was chaos and destruction. 

But while reading all of Cassandra's sagas, we come across at least one parabatai duo, from Robert and Michael to Emma and Julian. Several examples, several couples, and the most common thing about them is that one of them falls romantically in love with the other. Not in all, but so far in most cases.  For me the reason is simple: the parabatai connection involves both platonic and romantic love. 

Almost every time, it is mentioned that the connection is soulful, as if a part of their soul intertwines with their partner's, creating a kind of bond that simply does not exist in the world of men, mortal or immortal. It was a rune created by David and Jonathan with the intention of binding their souls to each other through the love they felt. A soul love is something beyond what we know. 

Imagine loving a person so deeply, loving them more than you love your own soul to the point that it is impossible to compare even with lovers and children? Imagine feeling the presence of this person as a part of you that lives outside of your body and brings you peace and happiness? The way Cassandra wrote both Will and Jem and James and Matthew shows that deepness, that overwhelming affection. It is a love that blends the platonic and the romantic, where the characters love each other not as brothers, but beyond that. 

So for me it is natural to read the books and feel the platonic affection that made us fall in love with the parabatai bond (and many of us, like me, have someone we consider our parabatai in real life) and also feel the vastness of the romantic love that exists between them. They love each other both ways and are not ashamed to admit it, it is so clear and at the same time a kind of love that those outside the parabatai bond would never understand in the TSC universe.

They love each other more than they love their own souls and that, to me, is the most beautiful kind of love there is. 

So yes, do ship them romantically if you want, ou platonic if you prefer. By all means, the parabatai is just the BEST thing Cassandra Clare ever created in the TSC word, so enjoy it the way you want!

A volte le nostre vite possono cambiare tanto in fretta che il cambiamento va più veloce delle nostri menti e dei nostri cuori. È allora, credo – quando le nostre vite vengono alterate ma noi abbiamo ancora voglia di tornare a prima che tutto accadesse – è allora che proviamo il dolore più grande. Ma per esperienza posso dirti che ci si abitua. Si impara a vivere la propria nuova vita e non si riesce a immaginare, e neppure a ricordare davvero, com’erano prima le cose.

Rewriting the Infernal Devices in the style of Berserk. Will never learns his curse is fake, he loses his shit when Jem dies (yeah he actually dies) and kills Tessa instead of rescuing her, that way she won't die bc she loved him, she died because he loved her. Her death ensures everyone else will forever hate him and thus not die. Will goes on living and killing demons in the dark without ever telling people he's ridding the world of darkness. He's hated and pursued, this is the life he chose from himself, living with the guilt of having neither saved his parabatai nor his lover, living vicariously through killing, unloved and unwanted, but fundamentally good.

This version is ripping my heart but oh the themes

i don't know if anyone has noticed this, but every cassandra clare's female protagonist ends up with a guy whose name starts with j.

clary -> jace

tessa -> will, but then jem

emma -> julian

cordelia -> james

so i was thinking about he wicked powers and how i want dru to be the first female protagonist to break this "rule". i don't want her with jaime, she and ash are much more interesting.
