yknow if Cassandra Clare wanted to characterise Anna more as a Herondale than a Lightwood she should have committed to it more. Like have Cecily look at her daughter, and watch her drinking & smoking in the centre of the party. watch her flirt and chase the thrill of it all, and being so so careless about it all. Have Cecily see the man who destroyed her family, just as she saw it in her brother.

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.

So far I'm really enjoying the Mark and Ty connection. It's clear in COHF that even before Mark was taken he was closer to Ty than any of his other siblings, but I like how LM is creating parallels between Ty's autistic traits and Mark's faerie traits to show why they understand each other so well. It highlights that Ty doesn't socialize "wrong," and that there are in fact places and people who play by a lot of the same social rules that he does (for instance, extreme literalism and complexity in casual speech). While Ty and Mark obviously are not the same, I think it's significant that since they're both used to being misunderstood they make more of an effort to understand each other. Ty is always loved by his siblings, but he still constantly has to explain himself to everyone other than Livvy. Mark seems to be one of the only people with whom he communicates easily, so of course he values that connection.

I also find it interesting that Julian is telling Mark to act "normal" in this scene, because he's consistently very clear that he doesn't want anybody implying that Ty isn't normal. I think that's probably because Julian sees Ty's autistic behavior as normal for Ty, while he still thinks that Mark's faerie behavior is weird and wrong for Mark. This is another example of how the Cold Peace has completely isolated an entire culture, since we see in COB that Jace is comfortable conversing with faeries. Shadowhunters used to recognize faerie speak as almost a sort of dialect that they would learn in order to clearly communicate, but now young Shadowhunters like Julian just hear it as weird. There's no interest in understanding this form of speech because it's seen as inherently violent and unnatural, which just adds to Mark's lack of belonging.

Also also, I really like that Ty is stepping in to defend Mark in this scene. So far we've seen a lot of Mark looking out for Ty (before, during, and after his time with the Hunt), but in this case it's clear that the protectiveness goes both ways. Ty is the younger brother, but he's still got autonomy and he still knows how to advocate for the people he cares about. It's probably extra hurtful for him to hear Julian talking like this, since he expects Julian to be the one protecting him from people who think he's weird, so I like that he's willing to stand up to his older brother/parental figure to defend Mark and also (in a way) to defend himself.

Anyways, what I'm saying is that I hope we get Mark and Ty brotherly moments in TWP. I think Mark's mixture of chaotic decision making and absolute love for Ty will give him an interesting perspective on whatever Ty ends up doing.

let's also spare a prayer for the following characters in twp:

alec... he's dealing with two young children one of whom is learning how to use magic and the other is learning how to use knives and then on top of that a bunch of idiots have installed a second government in the ancestral shadowhunter homeland and on top of THAT the new generation just turned 18 and is setting things on fire

livvy... on top of slowly losing her identity and sanity perhaps (we don't exactly know what's going on with her but i think we can assume it's not good) she is 3rd wheeling these incredibly dysfunctional sillies one of whom ran away from school and the other who is being hunted for sport

julian... we know why 😞

jace... imagine just wanting to plan your wedding and settle down with the love of your life but the homicidal depressed yandere version of yourself is after her and he SUCKS big time

general winter... he literally just wants a competent ruler of faerie and literally every single candidate is too busy making yearning spotify playlists about a blackthorn (& rosales) to be interested in the wellbeing of this entire civilization and in fact they are actively fleeing the responsibility

[fairstairs1]

i would also like to add:

tessa and jem: having to deal with another group of children they care about be put in dangerous situations

Fandom so anti ableism, so anti homophobia, so anti drama our first thought was “I hope Ty has kissed a nice guy. I hope it went well”
