Arthur Blackthorn theory

I think Arthur Blackthorn is behind the spell that makes Dru forget about Ash all the time.

In her last Q&A, Cassie revealed that:

“We do certainly find out something pretty major Arthur did without anyone knowing”

We know that Arthur suffered at the hands of the faerie and that by his recollection it was because his brother fell into a love spell with a faerie... so what if he, once he got custody of his nephews, put some protective magic in them so that they would never suffer the same? And what if the protecting magic put in Dru is making her forget Ash because due to her interest and connection with him, forgetting him is the only way she is truly "protected"?

While I get where your coming from, if that was the case shouldn't Julian and Emma forget about him as well? If it was a spell placed on all of them, why is Dru the only one effected?

Ty saying this and doing the exact same thing to Kit in tlkof CRYINGGGGG

[cassandraclare]

Hi Cassandra! Just want to say I’m such a huge fan and your books have gotten me through so many hardships. Your characters make me laugh, cry and smile through every interaction.

I know you can’t say too much about your book but I was curious about Ty’s scars. How long have they been there, and do they have something to do with his visit to Kit? And furthermore does Kit find out and how does he react? Again I know you can’t say too much, but I am just so curious and am anticipating this book so bad! I love you and your characters, thank you so much for reading this! Oh and when will we get more Ty snippets? 🩵🩵

I am going to assume we are talking about the scars in this scene?

The scars have been there in some form from the time before the book started. They actually are getting worse. I can't tell you if Kit finds out or what he does, though! I guess it depends on if he ever sees Ty with his shirt off.

Guysss, crazy comparison but Dru and Clary stucked in Fearie is literally the Blackthorn brothers 2.0 where Arthur Blackthorn was tortured and Andrew Blackthorn was falling in love.

Compilation of Kit & Kieran moments bc I love them:

[blue-silver-hammer]

With Dru’s animosity towards Paige it makes me wonder what she thinks of Ty’s friendship with Anush as he was a member of the cohort as well. Is she just as angry at him or is she more angry at Paige due to the Blackthorn family’s previous history with her? Are there other kids at the academy that were part of the cohort? Is Paige the only one in her class so Dru lashes out of her as the most convenient target or is she like that with everyone else as well?

[soelgis]

honestly as much as it might make sense narratively i hope we don't get to a point where ty would have to choose between kit and livvy. actually i want a full autonomy for livvy. i want her to express her wishes and be happy and i don't want her to just be a catalyst to kit and ty's conflict i would absolutely hate if her arc would go in that direction

[blue-silver-hammer]

Given the fact that we know Livvy has a POV I can’t see her not have autonomy concerning what happens to her. Regardless of what the final outcome of her arc is I believe it will come down to Livvy’s choice. The choice she was not given when Ty decided to raise her. Whether that means she wants to be brought back fully or pass on.

I was reading Better in Black and I was surprise when baby Ash showed his black wing bc according to Gotsm he got his wings in Thule, right?

[blue-silver-hammer]

I mean it could be an inconsistency but the thing you have to take in account is that Thule!Sebastian and Janus are biased. They have no way to know if Ash has grown his wings before as they have not been around him his entire life. We have not had Ash’s pov to know if he has been aware of his wings his entire life or not. It is very possible that Ash chose to hid them because he didn’t want his powers to be taken advantage of but had no choice in that scenario if he wanted to live.

Sebastian and the Seelie Queen definitely deserved each other and Ash deserves a new name

IMAGINE

Ty: Do you still mean it?

Kit: What?

Ty: You told me you loved me that night. Do you still mean it?

[soelgis]

i really really hope that the storyline for dru and ash would be that ash's attraction to her is rooted in dru's personality and how she makes him strive to be a better person. her whole life she was mostly perceived by men through the lens of her body and i really want for her to find someone who appreciates and admires her for who she is

[blue-silver-hammer]

I love this. I feel like Ash has seen Dru for who she is since he found that drawing of her that Julian did in Thule.

[queenhelenblackthorn]

Maybe I'm late to the game but does anyone have any idea what blade Dru is wielding in the tlkof cover? Is it just a regular seraph blade or something else?

[blue-silver-hammer]

Cassie said in the newsletter when she revealed the cover that it’s a faerie blade. One of snippets mentions Dru meeting Ash in the weapons room so I think that’s when she’s going to get it.

Kit "insecurity final boss" Herondale vs Ty "loves intensely and is incredibly honest about it" Blackthorn

[tsc-reader]

the dynamic is literally kit "i feel so nonchalant but in reality everyone knows i care way too much" herondale and ty "i care way too much but in reality everyone thinks i'm so nonchalant" blackthorn

[cthalerart]

anyone else feel a morgenthorn dance scene loading... 🥀🕯

(minus ash's wings bc they literally did not fit the angle of this piece no matter how hard i tried 🫣)

[blue-silver-hammer]

So after thinking over what Cassie has shared I’m going to make a list to try and get my thoughts together.

1) I can’t wait to the see the friendship between Ash and Ty. I know it’s going to be one of my favorite dynamics in the series. I wonder if Ash is going to be the one to spill Ty’s secret to everyone or just Dru. If it’s related to the spell Ty performed I can see how Ash would be the one to be able to tell with his history. Something I remember Cassie saying is that the whereabouts of the Volume of the Dead is unknown after Queen but I can’t help but think that Ash has it and has been studying it to find a way to reverse the spells placed on him. Do you think Ash would perform the reversal spell himself (if that’s possible) or if Ty will since we know he has been dabbling in magic with Kit augmenting the strength of the spell.

2) I can’t help wondering who the hell Ty has kissed that it would be spoiler. Cassie said there is not going to be a love triangle between them so why make it such a big deal who he has kissed or dated in the past that it has to kept a secret for two books. Even if she doesn’t want to Kit to know why does it have to be secret from the reader? I was going to dismiss Anush as a possibility based on what Ty said in SoBH but it is possible that Anush is bisexual and they kissed before he wrote that letter and decided they were better off as friends. I feel like Anush is the most likely candidate because he’s the only character besides Ragnor we know Ty has interacted with unless it’s a completely new character. I think it would be strange for Ty to get so close to someone so quickly but it’s not impossible especially if it was just for an experiment.

3) I’ve seen some people freaking out about Cassie calling Ty and Kit star-crossed and based on the definition pretty much every couple in TSC would qualify so I don’t think we should be worried to much. I’m sure there is not going to be angst beyond what’s normal for a Cassandra Clare book. None of her protagonists have ever had an ending that wasn’t happy but that doesn’t mean that their journey to that happy ending won’t be brutal.

4) I wonder how Ty knows that the relationship between Kit and Hazel wasn’t serious. Is it because of how short lived it was or the fact that if it was serious Kit would know if she was a werewolf or not? If Kit was in love with her how could he not know something so important? It’d be like if Julian didn’t know about Emma’s wall of crazy.
