thought about the livvy & jace/janus parallels again 378 dead 2992 injured... like wdym they were killed by the exact same sword, with jace being stabbed in the back & livvy stabbed in the front. wdym they were raised on the shores of the exact same lake almost exactly five years apart. wdym they were both came back wrong. the way livvy and janus share the common goal of just wanting to get what they lost too, and they both spend their gotsm stories watching their loved ones with no way to properly interact with them despite how badly they want to.

it's arguably one of the things that terrifies me the most going into twp like literally what does it all mean... what does this mean for livvy...

#like it feels like it can't be accidental there's too many parallels #especially since the characters we see the most of in thule is livvy janus and ash #positive spin maybe this means livvy isn't totally doomed like Jace is fine now!! maybe she has two possible futures in front of her #and it could go either way!! #imagine me clutching red string rn because that's how I feel whenever I think about it #in another life livvy and jace would have loved talking about swords together 😔😔 #would she think Clary proposing to him with an engraved sword is the coolest thing ever #just remembered livvy wanted to run an Institute when she was older... shes so Jace Herondale coded she never stood a chance #bella talks #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #the wicked powers #the last king of faerie #tlkof #twp #livvy blackthorn #jace herondale #janus herondale #the dark artifices #tda #ghosts of the shadow market #gotsm

So we all agree Jesse is going to be the next one to run the London Institute right

#READ MY TAGS I WILL EXPLAIN #Jesse and Will were the highlight of chain of thorns for me #and Jesse and James hehe I did not see that bromance coming but I am HERE for it #but also this makes so much sense #so like… lucie and jesse are living in the institute with will and tessa #and jesse is learning to be a shadowhunter and super into it right #so imagine will starts showing him a few things here and there #and jesse is always asking to help - we know from chot that he is doing this to will and tessa CONSTANTLY #so eventually jesse starts helping with some basic institute tasks #then he starts having some ideas #then he just slowly helps more and more until will decides to retire #and jesse is conveniently already there/low key doing the job #he’s too humble to try for the position but lucie nominates him hehe #(or James because him and cordelia travel to much and he doesn’t want his dad to ask him to run) #and then he becomes the next head of the London institute and does create a new legacy for the blackthorns 🥹 #it’s so precious cassie let him have this #jesse blackthorn #will herondale #chain of thorns #chain of thorns spoilers #chot #chot spoilers

predicting now that in TWP, Kit and Ty are going to have to be staying somewhere together, and Kit and Ty are constantly trying to avoid each other. But the catch is, is that Irene is obsessed with Kit. She always manages to find Kit wherever he’s hiding, and Ty follows after her. This culminates in them coming face to face over and over again, until finally they crack and have a heart to heart

Supernaturally touched mundane Malec AU

Au mostly mundane with supernatural elements. Alec is a cop. Magnus is a human lie detector, which may or may not be a secret to others:

Alec: "So you can just tell when someone is lying?"

Magnus: "Basically, yes. I can't tell what part of it is a lie, or what would be the corresponding truth. But I always know when I'm being lied to."

Alec: "That sounds, uhm, incredibly useful."

Magnus: "Ah, I doubt a gorgeous man like yourself would have much use for it. Why, you just have to bat those enchanting eyes of yours, and everyone would spill their secrets to you!"

Alec: "I wish. I mean, do you have any idea how much easier that would make my job? Not having to rely on the words of a suspect and having to spend time investigating, either trying to proof or disprove their statement. I could find leads and follow up on them so much faster if I knew right away which ones are the right ones. I mean, do you realize what a gift you have?"

Magnus: "….. When I was a child, my mother used to tuck me in to bed every night, and tell me a story. And after each story, she would kiss my forehead, and tell me she loved me."

Alec, surprised about the abrupt seeming change in subject: "Uh, okay? That's really nice."

Magnus: "Every night, I knew she was lying."

Alec: "…"

Magnus: "It may be a gift, but I struggle to think of it as a nice one."

Valentine: Do I have to torture you to death? Magnus: You wouldn’t dare to.

[buffyspeak]

also magnus very sternly warning everyone not to let go of each other’s hands and then immediately being like “there’s nothing to be ashamed of” and comforting alec is very soft but also a little jshshshsh. like i get why he’s so sympathetic obviously (same) but the fact that he’s like “this guy just messed up my demon summoning circle after I very specifically told him not to let go of anyone’s hands? BETTER GO COMFORT, NO I’M NOT UPSET”

#shadowhunters rewatch 2023 #malec #magnus bane #alec lightwood #like obviously magnus has less of an investment in clary’s memories #but finding the cup before valentine is good for everyone #and I feel very positive that he would have snapped a little at anyone else in that circle (except maybe clary) #but with alec he’s like ‘he’s gay and struggling so gets a pass! god bless ❤️ #so true king

My crossover story

Mercy is the start of this story, she is a cattle dog mix. Being pulled off my feet by my 35 lbs leash lint. Every time I saw a person or dog, bolt the other way, in my head I'm begging her to not bark and draw attention. She barks I'm immediately ashamed that my dog can't be the perfect family dog. I dealt with this for 6 months until, one day she was barking at a friend that came over and I lost it. I could not deal with any more, Mercy had to change. I began to look into her problems, she had excitement/nervous reactivity, I deducted. I looked into different training methods, and I found balanced training. It looked good cause the dog using e collars and prongs were well behaved and did not react to anything, even if they were nervous. I wanted people to compliment my dog for doing an heel and not being distracted by anything. I tried doing an +R approach to dog training, but I did not really know what I was doing and the training process was not going fast enough for me.

yank yank yank* that is what I did to my dog when I bought a Herm Spernger prong collar. She was still not behaving as a wanted, she still would pull when I corrected her and still react to people. So annoying, so I *pop*pop*pop* some more. My dog was so shut down, I did not understand animal behavior at the time and though I was not being harsh enough. I keep up using the prong collar for about 8 months, I began wanting her to be a service dog. Yes she was still reactive, I really just wanted to take her everywhere with me at first. However I do have some disabilites that qualify for a service dog. I did not want to fake a service dog, so I tried correction based training to task train her.

That failed MISERABLY, So I reluctantly looked into +R training. I was so against the idea of allowing a dog to make a mistake and not correct her. Allowing her to react seemed so contradictory to training, like what the heck?? Giving your dog a treat for barking at the trigger, nuh uhh. I slowly got invested into the FF dog training style. Learning animal behavior, and how my dog’s tail should not be tucked out of fear while training. I switched her training to using a flat collar and clicker. This was the best thing I have ever done, she really understood what I wanted and mostly stopped reacting. Merc lit up, she LOVED training with the clicker and still does. After about 2 months of switching to +R, her training had gone farther in almost a year of using balanced training.

She started learning tasks that could help me everyday. I started by getting rid of poisoned cues that I had for tasks I had tried to teach in the past. Mercy knows some psychiatric task and hopefully will be learning some medical alert tasks, along with non weight bearing mobility, such as item retrievals. I stopped correcting her for making mistakes and being a dog, sniffing, and looking at the environment around her. I stopped flooding her while training, thinking about how she would feel rather then how I would look to the public. She is doing amazing with service work and I'm so glad I made the switch from balanced to +R.

Thanks to much for reading

Queen of Air and Darkness Review (SPOILERS)

It was good timing that I read this when I did because I was beginning to get self-conscious over the fact that a novel I was about to publish was nearly 600 pages. I am, by no means, a slow reader but this 900-page monster took A While.

So, the bad first. Cassandra Clare, please, I beg of you, stop with the 'We're so in love but we have something stopping us being together for three novels in a row.' With Cordelia and James, that was fraught and interesting---loads of twists and turns with the false marriage and Grace and all. It was also time-period relevant. With Tessa and Will and Jem, you came up with one of the more brilliant conclusions to a love triangle I've ever seen. The circumstances to Will's curse was darkly laughable and tongue-in-cheek creative. Clary and Jace---hated it. Categorically hated the incest bait and I knew they weren't actually related a long while before you probably wanted your audience to. Emma and Julian's star-crossed thing was almost as bad as Jace and Clary's deal.

The 'parabatai curse' felt forced and contrived. I don't recall any mention of this all-important plot device in previous novels and the explanation seemed vague and weak. The way it was resolved was an afterthought.

Also wasn't that big of a fan of Julian. He was neurotic and moody to the point where he made Jace Herondale look stable. Emma was wonderful, though.

There really is more to build a relationship other than to make it impossibly star-crossed, I promise. You seemed to realise that with Alec and Magnus and many of the other 'non-main' couples.

Speaking of which, I love, love, love that you Cristina, Kieran, and Mark to be your polyamory triad. It was a brilliant representation, but it took a frustratingly long time to get there. Even in the end, you teased us with, 'Oh but they were torn apart, never to be together aga-- JUST KIDDING.' CASSANDRA, PLEASE, I HAVE ANXIETY. But I loved their dynamics and Cristina is a *great* character. Perhaps it was my fault, being as I had such a big time gap in between reading Lord of Shadows and Queen of Air and Darkness, but I'd completely forgotten her plot with her family heirloom/Diego/Jaime. It wouldn't have hurt restating it to remind the audience, but that's also probably on me.

I wasn't quite sure how I felt about the journey to Thule at first. It was risky. On top of 'Make Idris Great Again', Star-Crossed Part 4, and Necromancy Gone Awry, I was sceptical as to whether you'd pull off a multiverse plot in the middle of the last book, but it actually worked surprisingly well.

One of the better aspects about this book is that it takes place a few years after Mortal Instruments and the Cold Peace. It shows how everyone, particularly the Blackthorns, were affected by post-war bigotry. The fact that this was written in 2018 was no surprise, as Horace Dearborn, Zara Dearborn, and Manuel Villalobos were absolute MAGA stand-ins, but I love how it translated into the magical world. And of course, seeing where Clary/Jace/Alec/Simon/Isabelle/everyone ended up was satisfying for any fan of the original series.

Wonderful with the queer representation. I believe this is the first series where you've done a transgender individual and I liked how Shadowhunter culture played into it. There were at least three queer couples on centre-stage in the entire book without it feeling exploitative, so bravo there.

I will say, the autistic representation with Ty seemed sort of heavy-handed. Just about every mention of him mentioned stimming or aversions to change and such. But as an autistic individual, I have no actual *problem* with it, as there are people like that and I've known many.

The introduction of Ash was mind-blowing and welcomed, I'd say. I can't wait to see how that character plays out. It feels sacrilegious but I almost sort of missed Sebastian.

I will say, throughout the series, Annabel Blackthorn starts out as an extremely intriguing story but it ends up nearly... written out? Like geez, have one bad breakdown and murder a couple people and suddenly, your character depth goes away. It started out strong with Malcolm's grief twisting his ambition and Annabel having understandable PTSD, but something was lost, there.

So, quite long and not without its issues, but absolutely worth the read. Especially if you're wanting some warm fuzzies about your favourite Shadowhunterverse couples.

-randomly sees a screenshot of jamie and lily from the city of bones movie, where they seem to embody jace and clary, and am once again sad that we didn't get a city of ashes movie-

#like. to be clear. i KNOW that the city of bones movie has flaws--and i can tell you what they all are--but for me at least the positives #outweigh the negatives #and one of those things is that the cast really was perfect imo (and a lot of other people's opinions too) #though that's not to insult the shadowhunters cast at all of course. i think they're great and did the best with what they were give #i. personally. just don't really like shadowhunters because of how much they changed from the books #and even outside of that--if i ignored book to show comparisons--at least with the first season (the only one i watched) a lot of the #choices they were making with their own rules they were making didn't make a lot of sense. though i hear it gets better if season one so #maybe i should give it another chance sometime... #but back to city of ashes... i feel like. if city of bones had done well. city of ashes could have been better than city of bones and even #more book accurate (since that was some fans' issues with the first film) since the studio would have realized there was an audience there #and to take it more seriously. we've seen that kind of thing before. like with how the twilight movies actually became more book accurate #after the first film was a success #though that's not the world we live in of course. -sighs- oh well #maybe someday we'll get a really good and accurate tmi adaptation #i'm also looking forward to/cautiously optimistic about the the infernal devices show. PLEASE don't mess it up. PLEASE #that's my--and many--fans' favorite of the shadow world series. and it could/should be SO good. PLEASE!

‘Stephen was worse’ ‘Celine was worse’ how about ‘Valentine literally targeted them and used his spectacular manipulation tactics to not only make them loyal to him but bend them to his will under the guise of offering them everything they thought they wanted’ like why are you blaming them 

#dont misunderstand me they made choices #stephen picked power and position over amatis and lived to regret it #celine picked safety over what was right #i mean she was literally an abused 17 year old but still #by shadowhunter standards but she made her choice #i dont understand why people try and pit them against each other when they did care about each other #maybe not in the way celine initially wanted but they cared about each other they did #also they were planning on leaving #together #thats why they died #why valentine killed them #becuase he could no longer make use of them #the circle story is not a debate on which member was worse #but how a man used his charm and manipulative tactics to tyr and take over the world #celine herondale #stephen herondale #Mortal Instruments
