One thing I love about the dark artífices is the recurring theme of feeling like you don’t fit in. Emma felt that she didn’t quite fit in with the blackthorns, Julian could never think of his siblings the way an older brother might, he always felt he had to be a sort of father to them.

Mark and Helen, who come back after such a long time, and they feel like they missed all those years with their siblings, and now they don’t know how to act with them.

Cristina who is completely new to LA, Kieran who has never been to the mortal world. Kit who is suddenly thrust into the shadow world.

Dru always felt too different from her siblings, too young and bigger. Ty feeling different because of his autism.

Diana feeling she could never open up completely to the blackthorns because of her secret.

In a way, they all felt set apart from the rest. I think of Arthur as a manifestation of how they all feel; someone looking from the outside.

But the most beautiful thing is that even though they all feel different, we see time and time again that the rest love them, not in spite of what sets them apart, but because of it. That even though they are all vastly different people, they are all united with love much love. I think TDA has to do with accepting that which makes you different, and loving the things that make others different from you.

The ones who couldn’t accept these differences and embrace them ended up locked away from the world in a prison of their own making (the cohort in Idris).

So with that, love the things that make you special, love the things that make others special too, not because you envy them, but because it’s just another thing that makes them… well them.

a little The Black Dog x Wolfstar edit as a treat to myself for finishing my atyd rereads 😝 i think that makes like nine or ten times I’ve read it combining the two povs

ac: likeafunerall, sophithil, greenlights33, solemnlyswear_art

[finniereads]

All The Young Dudes inspired collage!!

I’m doing another reread (both povs) in honor of four years since the first time i read it!! the marauders map feet trails actually continuously disappear and reappear on the shuffles app and pinterest which i thought was a fun detail but this will have to do☺️☺️

Kit to Ty

Election day: misery, stress, hair-pulling, at least for Americans (and a lot of other people around the world affected by our politics!) So I thought I'd post a distraction; I hope it helps and doesn't annoy!

A while ago I posted the beginning of a letter from Kit to Ty, created for a Kickstarter backer. Here's the full text:

A letter from Kit to Ty, never sent.

Ty, Ty, Ty.

Your name looks strange written out like that. Like an abbreviation. But Tiberius would be so formal. I never think of you that way. Or, I suppose I should say, I never thought of you that way. Tenses matter in these situations, I guess.

It’s late, past midnight, and I’m sitting on the windowsill in my bedroom at Cirenworth. Jem and Tessa gave me one of the best rooms. Of course they did. It has a view out over the gardens. Sometimes I see the ghost of a dog there, a golden retriever I’m pretty sure, running in and out of the flowerbeds. He seems like a pretty happy ghost. I think about how much you like animals and how much they love you, because of course they do. But it’s too late; this dog passed away a long time ago. You probably couldn’t even see him. It’s too late for a lot of things, now.  

I’m still mad at you, and I don’t feel good about that. Maybe if I could forget, I could forgive. But I can’t forget that night you brought Livvy back. I’ll suddenly remember even when I’m thinking about something else. I’ll be in the middle of helping Tessa in the garden and suddenly I’ll turn around and I’m back in Idris. 

I remember I told you I loved you. I remember I told you I would help you, but not if you raised Livvy from the dead. Not if you did necromancy. But you wanted that more than you wanted me.

And I understand that. I’m not angry about that. Here’s what I’m angry about: when you brought Livvy back, you changed yourself. You made yourself a different person than the one I loved. I don’t know the person you are now. You took yourself away from me. I can’t forgive that. And you made me someone who has to keep a secret I never wanted to keep. I was raised by someone who had so many awful secrets, and when I started my life as a Shadowhunter I wanted to do it openly, and honestly. But now I’m just someone else with secrets I can never tell. Just like my dad.

It makes me angry, so angry. I want to yell at you. I wish you were here so I could yell at you.

Kit

genuinely moved to tears (gentle way of saying i’m in hysterics) because wasteland baby has always been one of my favourite hozier songs. and then i remember that wasteland baby inspired art heist baby. and then i can’t stop thinking about jegulus as i listen and then the “wasteland, baby / i’m in love, i’m in love with you / that’s it” which only slightly resembles “i love you, that’s all” a teeny smidge which only breaks my entire heart, body, and soul a teeeeny tiny smidgy bit. OH MY GOD OHHHH MY GODDDDD IM SOBBING ON THE FLOOR NAT

WASTELAND BABY TASTE !!! RAH!!!

ENDING THE ALBUM LIKE ,, "IM IN LOVE WITH YOU THAT'S IT" IS ENOUGH TO BRING A GIRL LIKE ME TO MY KNEES IN HYSTERICS

BUT YESYESYES YES YOU GET IT ! YOU GET IT !!!!

the whole "i love you, that's all." like that's it. that's all that matters. i've done all of this, i've lived this kind of life and i've suffered and i've been sad and lost and happy and free and at the end of it all,,there's just the love i have for you.

and hozier writing this whole album this whole masterpiece where he flays his soul open for the world to dissect and he writes this beautiful song and at the end of it all it all boils down to "i'm in love with you. that's it."

LIKE EUGHHHHHH!!1

Too sweet by Hozier is Regulus trying to convince himself he's not in love with James.
