«"As a child, Alastair was always gentle. It was only when he went away to school—”

<…> Thomas said nothing as Alastair went across the room to kiss his mother on the cheek; they spoke together in Persian too rapid for Thomas to understand. He only watched Alastair: Alastair being gentle, Alastair being loving, the Alastair Sona had known, but Thomas so rarely ever saw.»

– Chain of Thorns, Cassandra Clare

I think sometimes about people saying that Cordelia is the only neurotypical member of the TLH cast and haven't been able to figure out why I rebel so hard against that sentiment. I figured it out yesterday.

It's because Cordelia exhibits massive golden child syndrome, and I realized that that's in and of itself a type of (c)PTSD.

She's anxious about her connections with those around her, especially Alastair and Lucie. With James and Matthew, she's avoidant to the point that she will not communicate any feelings until later in ChoT because to do so would be confronting those emotions. She's always saying that Elias viewed her as similar to him (while Alastair was like Sona), and she seemed to have created some sort of proxy-idea in her mind where she is the one who's like her father even if their differences could not be more stark.

Combine that with the fact that she's sheltered to the point of not noticing Elias's alcohol despite a) bottles laying around the house, and b) his concerning violent public behaviours like those we see at her wedding. She's clearly in the mindset of "everything's fine; this is fine," and it's not. She's not, because she's shoved her head in the sand since her father showers her with the attention that she's not getting from Sona and Alastair, who are in different, massively bad predicaments of their own.

And Cordelia copes by being perfect. By being Elias's special daughter, the one who's like him, who's the bearer of Cortana walking in the Carstairs family legacy, who's bright and sunshiney and happy and perfect.

I also want to note that I think Cordelia has some very valid abandonment trauma. While I do inarguably think she should have defended Alastair more, she literally felt abandoned by him (and Sona) for seven years because he emotionally pulled away. There were wildly good reasons, and Alastair's sacrifice deserves recognition (he is the best person), that doesn't negate the fact that she did not know those good reasons and felt abandoned.

I think this seems pervasive in her internal narration, too, as she tries to get closer to people without expressing deep-seated feelings (such as pent-up frustration with Lucie or her profound love for James).

ok my thoughts and headcanons on the carstairs/lightwood in-laws now that thomastair are official and out to their families

eugenia and alastair bond over being exasperated by their younger siblings. they have a standing tea date every other week to gossip and complain (thomas tries to join once and gets himself banned from his own sitting room).

cordelia and eugenia also become close friends. eugenia misses her sister and would never dream of replacing her, but it's nice having cordelia around. they go shopping together. cordelia eventually helps eugenia gain the confidence to open her heart again and cheers her on when eugenia enters her first courtship since augustus.

cordelia and thomas are constantly giving each other recommendations for poetry. thomas primarily recommends the irish poets his mother shared while he was growing up and cordelia commits herself to helping expand thomas' knowledge of persian works.

gideon and sophie absolutely adore sona, and the feeling is very much mutual. sometimes the lightwoods go visit cirenworth just to see her and help with zachary. of course zachary has alastair and thomas in his life as strong, kind male figures, but sona is glad that gideon is there as well. and, of course, sophie and sona get along like a house on fire. they gossip almost as much as eugenia and alastair.

when it comes to zachary, all of the lightwoods absolutely love and adore him. family dinners typically devolve into a game of pass-the-baby so everyone gets a turn to hold him while they all talk. eugenia and gideon are the best at making him giggle, and alastair and sona are the only ones who are able to get him to sleep at those dinners.

speaking of family dinners, those are definitely a monthly occurrence. they rotate locations between the lightwoods' house, thomas and alastair's house, and even occasionally cirenworth or james and cordelia's house.

thomas and alastair eventually decide to get married. it's a private ceremony, of course, with only their close friends and family. eugenia officiates. sona and cordelia walk alastair down the aisle and sophie and gideon do the same for thomas. zachary is their ringbearer, being just grown enough to toddle down the aisle and hand them the rings. ari and cordelia stand with alastair as his groomswomen, and james and matthew stand with thomas (they save a spot for christopher, since everyone knows he would have been thomas' best man).

when eugenia gets a new suitor, the man expects to have discussions with her father about treating her right and respecting her, and even the talk with her younger brother about not hurting her is expected as well. the surprise comes when alastair and cordelia appear to talk to him, together, and give one of the most blood chilling shovel talks in the history of shovel talks.

gideon and alastair actually take a minute to warm up to each other. they never directly address the origin of their tension together, but gideon decides nothing said by a hurt teenager is worth soiling his relationship with his son-in-law. after he rather aggressively and indirectly proves to alastair that he is trustworthy as a father figure, they get closer and alastair even opens up about growing up with elias, which only makes gideon decide to be even more of a father figure to him.

that's all i have for rn pls pls add on your own !!

thinking about how Sona was 42 in Chain of Gold, and (if his birth year on the family tree is accurate) that's probably about the age Elias was when he met Sona...

I often think about how much Alastair had to give up because Elias. How he felt like it was his responsibility as the eldest son to take care of the household and how he couldn't just ignore it. Alastair loves his family, and this is a fact. But I was the happiest when at the end of CoT, Alastair finally let himself be happy and let himself move on from taking care of Sona and Cordelia and Zachary full time. He took on the father role even before Elias died, and this didn't make him live his own life because he always felt responsible for his loved ones. This was possible because Alastair felt like stepping in the parent role in order to keep his family together, which he didn't want to fall apart. He would always look after his family, but now he can do it as a brother and a son and not as a parent. It is not easy to do that and it is truly inspiring for other people who are experiencing a similar situation
