Less than a week til Chain of Thorns is released!

To keep myself entertained I’ve decided to examine and review the official character art by @nicole.deal.art on Instagram to see if the clothing fits with the Edwardian period. I’ve always been interested in historical fashion and I thought this might be fun and interesting for people to read. I’m reviewing the girls’ outfits first and the boys later in the week.

Cordelia

We’re off to a good start with Cordelia! She’s wearing what looks like a very period-typical walking dress. Compare it to this one from 1903:

Most day dresses had high collars and long sleeves, so this looks good. My only quibble is that her hair should really be pinned up, but since this picture is obviously set during a fight it’s entirely possible that her hair just came loose. It’s not a major issue.

Accuracy: 8/10

Lucie

Also pretty good! Hair looks great, compare it to the Edwardian hairstyles below:

and the cut of the dress is period accurate. I wasn’t sure at first if puffed sleeves were a thing for the Edwardians, but then I found this dress, also from 1903:

which has very similar sleeves.

The only non-Edwardian thing is the steampunk collar-type thing she’s wearing, but that could be part of Shadowhunter protective armour.

Accuracy: 9/10

Ariadne/Kamala

This one’s not quite so accurate. Her hair is perfect— in fact, the headband looks like it was directly inspired by this picture of actress Lily Elsie from 1908:

The dress, however, is more Victorian than Edwardian. It has a very square neckline, which wasn’t common during the period— day dresses generally had high collars, and evening dresses had wide, scooped necklines, often draped.

The skirt isn’t quite accurate either. It looks like she’s wearing an apron skirt with a bustle, which is a style that was popular in the mid-to-late 1880s, around fifteen years before The Last Hours is set. Compare it to this one from 1889:

and you’ll see that the draping in front is very similar. It’s a lovely dress, but it’s not at all Edwardian.

Accuracy: 4/10

Grace

When I first saw this one I was disappointed because it looked like a major historical blunder. Her hair is good, but the dress isn’t Edwardian at all— the neckline is too low, sleeves are too puffed, waistline is too high.

BUT THEN. I did some digging and found this dress from 1810:

Grace’s dress is very obviously inspired by this one. The two are almost identical. But it’s such an obviously Regency dress that I don’t think Grace’s dress is meant to represent the Edwardian era at all.

TLH isn’t set during the Regency era, but who lived around that time and is relevant to the plot in Chain of Thorns?

Annabel Blackthorn.

Grace is a Blackthorn, at least by adoption. We know that at the end of Chain of Iron, Malcolm wanted to use Lucie’s powers to resurrect Annabel. My theory is that this art shows Grace in a situation where she’s linked to Annabel somehow, maybe through time travel or a dream or vision. She’s wearing similar clothes to what Annabel wore when she was alive, and I am so excited to see if this really does happen in ChoT.

Accuracy: 3/10 for Edwardian, but 10/10 for Regency.

If you bothered to read all this, I hope you found it interesting and maybe even a bit informative. Can’t wait for Chain of Thorns!

Alastember - day 10

modern AU headcanons for Alastair's birthday party based on this post I made for edit week

Alastair, Ari, Eugenia and Grace are roommates

Thomas is tasked with keeping Alastair out of the apartment since early morning so Ari and Eugenia could decorate the apartment, while Grace baked a birthday cake and other various desserts

They didn't know if they should invite the Merry Thieves but Grace was bringing Kit and Cordelia asked if she could bring Lucie and James so they said "fuck it" and invited Matthew as well

Thomas takes him out for breakfast

Alastair is suspicious (and a little bit sad) because everyone texted him happy birthday but no one tried to make plans to see him

Alastair and Thomas walk around London after breakfast, Thomas sees Alastair eyeing a polaroid camera and buys it for him ("you already paid for breakfast" "can't I just spoil my beautiful boyfriend on his birthday?")

They go to Thomas’ apartment to grab a picnic basket he prepared for them to eat lunch

They have their picnic in a park, Thomas takes a picture of Alastair with the polaroid camera

During their picnic Sona facetimes Alastair so her and Zachary can wish him a happy birthday

After lunch, Eugenia texts Thomas that he can take Alastair back to the apartment

Everyone hides when Thomas texts that they're entering the building

When Alastair opens the door, they jump out to scream "Happy birthday!"

Everyone takes turns using his new polaroid camera to take pictures of the party

It started as a dance party (courtesy of Ari’s carefully curated playlist) and quickly dissolved into a board game party

Matthew, Kit and Cordelia started a game of Uno, and the rest of the party slowly joined them each round until the last round when everyone was playing (Kit won that last game)

Lucie and James got into fight because Lucie put a +4 for James when he only had 1 card left

After that, they decided to switch to playing jenga and cards

Alcoholic drinks were kept to a minimum for Matthew’s and Alastair’s comfort

Almost at midnight they sang happy birthday to Alastair and he blew out the candles in his cake (“don’t forget to make a wish!” Cordelia said) (Alastair rolled his eyes but silently wished for more birthdays like this)

Everyone complimented Grace on the desserts she made

The night ends with them singing karaoke by pulling up karaoke videos with lyrics from youtube

Thomas stays the night, the next morning, Alastair wakes up first and starts looking for an empty spot in his walls where he can place all the pictures from the day before

The best thing about TLH is that when it finishes, Charles Fairchild will have been dumped for a Lightwood by three people.

If anyone who's read chain of thorns is looking for closure and wants to read my fanfic, it's Up in the Air on AO3. I got very angry at how many scenes were just not written in the book and so I just. Hehe. Wrote them. Or am in the process of writing them. It's all about the fallout of The Incident.

Is this shameless self promo? Kinda. I started writing the fic because I wanted to imagine how certain events unfolded. Everyone is welcome to cry over it. Uhh. Thanks? <3

Edit: I made a second fic called Unspoken. It contains conversations happening in Up In The Air that the narrator doesn't hear, but which I thought were important. Check it out! Leave feedback! It means a great deal <3

Some more post canon chain of thorns theories:

Cordelia and James have at least 4 children.

The fairchild twins are girls and marry Alex Lightwood and Zachary Carstairs

Anna and Kamala have the next largest family, but they take the joshi last name, and they are the desendents in the Dark Artifices series.

Gabriel and Cecily move back into the London Institute with Alex.

Lucie and Jesse only have one or two children. Lucie is a little absent-minded when it comes to her kid(s), but Jesse is very attententive. Maybe this is why great Aunt Marjorie is so distant and down right rude and resentful.

Euginea becomes a downworlder, possibly a vampire.

Matthew would be my next guess on his journeys.

Thomas and Alastair don't have children but are the favorite uncles of all the others children.

This makes Matthew flabbergasted.

Grace, Alastair, and Jesse become part of the merry thieves.

Grace never marries or feels anything like she did for christoper, but she still lives a happy and full life with their friends.

Ari (kamala), Anna, Alastair, and Thomas go on double dates, alot.

As do thomastair and jordelia.

And ghostwriter and thomastair.

And jordelia and ghostwriter.

Eugenia likes to tag along on these with thomastair and/or Arianna.

What do you think of Eugenia and Matthew as a couple? Just a thought.
