What the tda characters would watch on youtube:

Julian: art and diy gift ideas for your girlfriend

Emma: dance videos and pranks

Dru: horror movie recs and music

Ty: random facts about literally anything, probably something with animals

Kit: breakup songs

Tavvy: how to make slime with no borax

Mark: doesn't know what that is

Cristina: isn't really interested in anything, but maybe some music

Livvy: gamers playing action games

<p.s. this is stricly my opinion and i thought it would be fun! toodles>

Emma Carstairs, Kit Herondale...

What am I doing? Oh, just counting American Blonds that are smarter than you'll ever be. (..and hotter...and beautiful... Not that you aren't or anything but...just saying.)

(This is proof that being American and blond doesn't necessarily make you stupid)

the cohort: don't worry, we have emma carstairs at home

emma carstairs at home:

Me after reading the 20th book about some angel descendants fighting demons and dealing with their very emotional love lives

I colorized TSC spines

Don't look at TDA's one though, it's this bad because I COULDN'T FIND A FULL PIC OKAY??😭😞 There were separate spines which I tried to put together....and apparently it didn't go well, the quality is shit and my day is ruined

HELPPP THEYRE SO GOODNFLEND JEMMMM

cr: charliebowater

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

The TSC girls Clary, Tessa, Cordelia and Emma. This entire series has such a sentimental place in my heart.

Characters by @cassandraclare

Thinking about the funny age misconceptions that would occur in TSC due to immortality & faerie

Like Tessa and Lucie def had a period where they were mistaken for twins when out in public together

Emma and Julian are out to lunch with Tessa and Jem and someone calls “Carstairs” for an order and both Emma and Jem stand up out of habit but then the staff thinks that they are the one’s who are married (bc they look nothing alike)

Poor Clary would be triggered bc she and Ash don’t look that far apart in age to begin with combined with the fact that Ash is way taller than her someone would mistake Clary for being Ash’s younger sister 😭

Tessa eternally looks like a college kid and Kit will be 18 so some mundane could def mistake Tessa for being Kit’s girlfriend if they saw Kit hugging her 😭

I think about this more often than I’d like to admit.

“Whoever you have loved, and however you loved them,” said Jem, “anyone you loved would be lucky.”

julian really thought he's going to get a moment of peace in twp because the parabatai mess is over... no good sir, your brother did necromancy to bring his dead twin back and your other sister is gonna be dating the son of the man you hate the most rip

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.

Magnus when yet another generation of Shadowhunters storms into his apartment to ask for his help

UNPOPULAR OPINION

I actually like TDA much more than TID, I relate to the characters a lot more, i think the plot is more interesting and I re-read it every couple months, but i've only read TID twice and i'm fine with it.

(also i like Will Herondale, i think he's funny and i'm sad he died but he's not my fav Herondale)

+ the Blackthorns are my fav family, i LOVE Emma, and i love Jem, Kit is introduced, Ash is also introduced, i really like all the relationships developing (blackstairs, Kierarktina, KiTty) and the other characters making an appearance, i love it, KIT AND JACE PLEASE, MALEC AND THEIR KIDS.

you get my point, that's it, thankssss

TSC characters auditioning for Simon's band

I did another thing

P. S - Christopher is auditioning twice because he wanted to and asked me to add him

why did i just now realize that Jesse is suggesting to shorten it to The Wicked Powers 😭
