Can't believe I'm the first to say it... but So Long, London is such a KitTy song
I mean...
I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist
Kit realising that he's not a mortal but a Shadowhunter with faerie heritage
Pulled him in tighter each time he was driftin' away
Kit hugging Ty on the roof of the LONDON institute and being there for him after Livvy's death
When you're not sure if he wants to be there
Kit thinking Ty doesn't love him
You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days
Livvy's death making Ty blind with grief and causing him to break Kit's heart
So Long, London
Had a good run

#OTD in 1972 – In what is to become known as Bloody Sunday, the British Army kills 13 civil rights demonstrators in the Bogside district of Derry. A 14th marcher later dies of his injuries.
Thirteen people were shot and killed when British paratroopers opened fire on a crowd of civilians in Derry. Fourteen others were wounded, one later died. The marchers had been campaigning for equal rights such as one man, one vote.
Despite initial attempts by British authorities to justify the shootings including a rushed report by Lord Widgery exonerating the troops, the Saville Report which…

The funniest thing about TID is the entire cast is between 15 and 23.
IRL these kids would be in highschool. Tessa’s touring college, Wills getting scolded for shooting spitballs in class, Cecilys failing drivers ed, Charlottes still in an undergrad program. 80% of these guys can’t legally drink.
Mortmain really went out, fought a handful of children and LOST

Since you are from the UK, did you ever visit some of the places mentioned in the series ?
Hey doll @imabitchforjemcarstairs ! Okay let me start with this lovely Q ;)
I absolutely am blessed enough to live and travel through Shadowhunter featured ends!
I'll admit when I was a law student i frequented them more but now that i work i am so exhausted if given the choise a choose HOME lol (+cost of living right now in London is up by 30% so it's disincentivizing to move around London too much).
My law firm is at Bank (financial+legal district of London) so I go there routinely throughout the week which is awesome! Although when I go there i'm mainly thinking about work and the fires we're putting out than musing about our Beloveds sadly!
Blackfriar Bridge I don't go through normally. Mainly bc it is SO COLD while walking through it during this time of year! So if i travel through the river, it's normally via the embankment bridge on the tube lol
My little hobbit flat is in Holburn which was featured once or twice as a mention during Clockwork Prince so HOW FUN huh!
Hatchett's: I don't reallyyyy go there to get my books lol. Don't get me wrong, I always pop in when I'm in Piccadilly and just admire the lovely staircase and pretend i'm Tess waiting for Will (lol) but tbh it's a bit too cooperate now. It got bought out by the same group that owns Waterstones, Barnes and noble and Blackwell's. So i only really go when there is an exclusive or signed edition. I mainly stick to second hand (even second hand books need some TLC!) and indie book stores! Buy books from booksellers not billionaries!
Borough Market: A bit out of my way cuz it's near the Strand, but i go on occasion. Bit overly priced for what it's worth.
Hyde Park: I don't go there as often as I should ngl. It's lovely. And so many lovely ducks (yes I said that to TRIGGER Will muahahah)
Cecil Court: I visit maybe every couple months! This is a place i specifically go to thanks to TID!)
Holloway (now known as Islington/Angel): I have a friend who lives here! NGL Holloway Road now is a bit shady at night haha. So i only frequent it during the day. When I visit Islington I often think of Sirus Black/Marauders stuff though (cuz I am a wolfstar fan too ;) cuz his house is there.
Saint Paul's: I visit this not too regularly but I do love going there. I am Roman Catholic so I go to Mass at Sant Patrick's in Soho Square, but I should attend mass there sometime to get that TSC vibe!
Am I missing any other places? These are the first that come to mind! LMK in the comments or reposts or Q if u want more specific ones and I can give u the irl modern-take to TID/TSC one 🤭 I have been living in London now since 2016 so i am familiar (most likely?)
I leave you with this morning's vista from one of my bedroom windows! You can our usual London weather featured as well as see the Strand, st. Paul's, some cooperate buildings with helicopters on there andddd some chimneys and dreadful looking scaffolding.

I took a trip to Saint Brides Church - the inspiration behind the London Institute from the Infernal Devices and the Last Hours series by Cassandra Clare, while in the city yesterday! This church usually closed every time I walk past, so I took my chance this time to explore!
It’s a beautiful church with a rich history, located down Fleet Street, London. They had an exhibit by the crypts downstairs (it was definitely spooky! - look out for ghosts ;)) which held beautiful images and mementos from it’s long past.
The courtyard, darkened by trees and not as big as I read it to be, was a charming spot to sit and imagine my favourite characters running around :)

#OTD in 1874 – Irish painter, Frederic Burton, was appointed director of the National Gallery, London, and began an unprecedented programme of art collection.
As Director of the National Gallery, London, Burton bought over 500 works, many of them masterpieces by Botticelli, Canaletto, van Dyck and Leonardo da Vinci, creating possibly the finest art collection in the world. Burton’s painting, ‘Meeting on the Turret Stairs’ was voted by the Irish public as Ireland’s favourite painting in 2012 from among ten works shortlisted by critics.
