#julian blackthorn is loved

[clockwork-carstairs]

the dark artifices has so many moments that just floor me. when diana opens up to gwyn and he tells her she’s the bravest woman he’s ever met and gently asks, Can I hold you? when kieran feels betrayed and mark kneels in front of him to ask for forgiveness and tells him I love you, I wish you could believe me. when julian says to emma “I’ll love you if I never touch you” and emma thinks, I love you more than starlight. kieran telling mark “you are all that exists on the earth and under the sky that I do love.” julian telling dru that “you’re the heart of this family”. ty and kit being each other’s reasons to stay. livvy’s protectiveness over ty; livvy telling julian she wants to be like him. kierarktina dancing together and all being stunned after. there is just such fierce and fragile love in this series in so many different forms, i’m so soft for all of them

I just remembered how Kit told Julian once something about his "weird brother" and Julian (being Julian) just went immediately like "Ty is not weird", and our beautiful Kit looked at Jules (like if he said something completely stupid) and said "I know, Ty is not weird, is autistic. I'm talking about Mark". In that moment I knew guys, I fucking KNEW THAT KIT WAS THE STANDARD!!!

Let me tell you, I just love how Kit doesn't even hesitate because Ty is neurodiverse and love him like doing it is the easiest thing. As it should be!

I love how Ty is a model student at the Scholomance who helps the teachers plan new courses for other students whilst Dru is getting pulled into the headmaster’s office every other day at the Shadowhunter Academy 😭💗 No one does it quite like the Blackthorns

#Dru is LIVING IT UP at the academy and I love her for it #I honestly just love how perfectly Ty and Dru’s academic records complement each other??? #I love how committed Ty is to his studies and the scholomance just as much as I love how much trouble Dru seems to get herself in #Julian and Helen live in constant anticipation of what their siblings are getting up to #I just know it #I love my blackthorn babies #Dru blackthorn #ty blackthorn #the wicked powers #Thais pedroso #anush joshi #the shadowhunter chronicles #twp #TSC #the dark artifices #julian blackthorn #kit herondale

yes its been five years but i am not over emma hallucinating that she severed all parabatai bonds while coming back from thule, just to turn and see jem bleeding as he asks "emma, emma how could you?" i mean WHAT a perfect scene to show how powerful the parabatai bond is. throughout tda the bond becomes an antagonist as julian and emma struggle against it, and its hard to remember that its actually a beautiful way to connect two souls. one of my favorite parts of the shadowhunters books is how cassie shows how powerful and overwhelming platonic love can be, and will and jem are the embodiment of that. the bond isnt just a symbol of their love but the physical manifestation of its endurance, and thats why the seelie queens proposal to break all bonds is so tragic. to take away that kind of connection is sacrilege, even at the cost of romantic love. one is not greater than the other, and thats one of the subtle but beautifully written themes threading through tda.

Why is it always „I love you“ and never:

„We are bound together, Emma, bound together—I breathe when you breathe, I bleed when you bleed, I’m yours and you’re mine, you’ve always been mine, and I have always, always belonged to you!“

i sometimes lie awake at night thinking about that kit and julian scene in sobh when kit thinks julian doesn’t wanna see him bc he’s on “ty’s side”

#like no no we can’t have him thinking that ty hates him no thank u nope nope #i just sit there and contemplate life #it makes me so :((; #and julian telling him that ty never indicated there was a side to be on #he doesn’t hate him (quite the opposite actually) #like ty doesn’t even blame him #they’re so in love with each other please im sad #:((( #julian blackthorn #kit herondale #ty blackthorn #kit x ty #kitty #ghosts of the shadowmarket #gotsm #tsc

reading tftsa is always an emotional experience especially when you get the short stories focused around the Blackthorns because the absence of Mark just bleeds out. like when you read about Julian being Helen's suggenes and Simon being the witness to Julian's parabatai ceremony you are just burdened with the knowledge that that's not who they would have picked if the circumstances were different. in a different life it was Mark.

#I think about this all the time & it just makes so sad #like Julian picking Simon of all people because he didn't know who else to ask :( #because everyone he would have asked is dead or taken away from him #also as much as Helen loves Julian there's no way he was her number one choice #like. it was Mark it would always be Mark the brother who she knew before she was even Helen Blackthorn #I wonder if Julian understood that obviously Helen would never say that but Julian's clever #probably did not help with his insecurities surrounding Mark 😬 #on the other hand. imagine how Helen felt #in another life he's your suggenes in this life he's not there at all #and he's never meet (?) the love of your life and you can't even mourn him because he's not dead. he's just not there. #ignore the spelling errors I'm not editing any of this #bella talks #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #helen blackthorn #mark blackthorn #julian blackthorn #simon lewis #tales from the shadowhunter academy #tftsa

Emma met a boy with eyes like a man,

turns out her world fits right on the palm of his hand.

I see you people disappointed that Lucie's powers never got properly acknowledged and raise you: Why should they? Why should people know? Isn't the greatest acknowledgment the fact that she managed to bring her love back to life? She doesn't need anything more from her powers. And that's the Blackthorns for you. Everything they do, they do it for their loved ones. Single-mindedly, in secret, in the shadows. Arthur sacrificed himself for his family and nobody but the Blackthorns know. Julian did everything he could to keep the family together for years and only a few know. The Blackthorns don't do heroics for the Clave, they do heroics for their family.

#and that's why i love them so much #they don't need recognition as long as everyone they love is safe and sound #lucie herondale #jesse blackthorn #julian blackthorn #arthur blackthorn #the last hours #the dark artifices #tlh #tda

The Blackthorns are the true masterminds fr

ANDREW — started it getting with Lady Nerissa (not just some common fair folk, but a high fae lady of the courts!!!) And having Helen and Mark who on their own could be high members of the court if they chose to (they’re shadowhunters of course but the potential is there)

HELEN — Is in contact with Nene and possibly some of her other cousins. Leads the LA institute, yes but she could become a Lady of the Courts if she chose to

MARK — On his own Mark has the support of the Wild Hunt on his side and he could be a member of the Seelie Court if he wanted to. Then he also has The King of the Unseelie Court who would do anything for him (and Cristina ofc)!! And then of course the Rosales connection and they can come and go from Faerie as they please.

JULIAN — you may be like Julian isn’t part faerie or in love with one BUT my man tricked the Seelie Queen AND he is with the wielded of Cortana (which can break the most ancient faerie blade!!!)

TY — obvi,, Kit would literally do anything for him and once Kit realizes the full extent of his powers, I have no doubt he’ll be unstoppable. The First Heir (whether Kit likes it or not) has immense influence over faerie. But also Ty on his own is def a threat, he’s incredibly smart and fast and willing to do what needs to be done.

DRU — I have no doubt that our Prince of the Seelie Court will be down bad for Dru. Will do anything for her. Also she has her own strength combined with the influence of all her older siblings, she is a menace. I have no doubt she can navigate faerie. Not to mention she and Ty both have immunity in the Unseelie Court bc Kieran wouldn’t let anything happen to Mark’s siblings.

TAVVY — tbd but He’s def gonna follow after his older siblings,, he doesn’t wanna be left out. Plus he is raised by Julian and Helen. And he could prob travel all throughout faerie by the time he comes of age and be protected bc that’s the youngest Blackthorn that no one can touch

In conclusion the Blackthorns have a monopoly on Faerie so no matter what ends up happening in TWP they come out on top

#the cohort was like we will rule faerie through manipulation and fear #while the blackthorns were playing the long game #they inspire love and loyalty #now that’s sus #helen blackthorn #mark blackthorn #julian blackthorn #ty blackthorn #dru blackthorn #rip livvy blackthorn #tavvy blackthorn #kit herondale #ash morgenstern #kieran kingson #cristina mendoza rosales #the dark artfices #the wicked powers #twp #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #the blackthorn family

CC really had Julian saying “I love you either way. I love you if we never touch” then think about how Emma was both his universe and the blade pressed against his heart and expected me to be fine afterwards

“Emma reminded him of himself sometimes…they both had found salvation in a parabatai. Jem could only hope that Emma had found in Julian what he had found in Will.” I’m going to kill myself

Ok don’t get me wrong, I love domestic, post-TDA Blackstairs (I adore them all in all) but you have to admit their angst in TDA is absolutely unmatched

#the desperation #the yearning #mutual pining #the fact that they loved each other so much they threatened the very existence of an ancient magical bond #god I love them #Emma and Julian could end the world and I’d be grateful to be ash beneath their boots #the dark artifices #the shadowhunter chronicles #julian blackthorn #emma carstairs #blackstairs

If Julian and Emma didn't get "Parabatai to Lovers" story, Jem and Will would have deserved this one

When the couple that consists of the strongest fighter of her generation and the strategist manipulator (whose covered in paint for some reason) are here to destroy your life.
