I’m seeing the eclipse right now but all I can think about are Kit and Ty…

☀️❤️‍🩹🌙

[blackthornobsessed]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[do-not-u-dare]

I’m an introvert in every way until I like you then I’m the biggest annoying yapper who sucks up all the air in the room and can talk for hours. unless I’m scared you hate me in which case I’ll stumble through like 2 sentences and then go quiet and hope you don’t get mad

[maxknightley]

(girl who's been thinking about The Character nonstop for two months voice) you'll never guess what this song reminds me of

[blackthornobsessed]

Me with ty blackthorn

[goldenjellyfish12]

Me w Mark Blackthorn

[slvrarrow]

I can also say that I am thoroughly obsessed with the dynamic Alastair and Thomas have. Never have I seen a man do an identity 180 so quickly because he's been given a bit of love and understanding from somebody outside of his family. They truly awe me.

Hi there! This is round twenty five of “which is the best ship out of all my favourite childhood and current ships?”!

Which is the best ship?

AmourShipping (Ash Ketchum x Serena from Pokémon)

Sizzy (Simon Lewis x Isabelle Lightwood from The Shadowhunter Chronicles)

Remaining time: 1 day 22 hours

[tys-kitty]

“I don’t want her to be in danger,” said Ty. “She can’t be in any kind of danger.” - Ty about Dru in QOAAD

That boy is going to go full on k!ller mode in order to save his little sister - especially since he wasn‘t able to save his twin sister from the fate of death

[the-person-on-the-bridge]

I’m rereading TMI and I’ve made an interesting observation.

In City of Bones, Clary repeatedly compared the things around her to famous paintings or works of art. Moreover, she actively expressed her opinion about what she liked (for example, the Kali figurine in Luke’s study)

But in City of Ashes, these comparisons practically disappeared. In this book, we get to know many new locations, and, given Clary’s rich knowledge of art, we hardly get any comparisons. Yes, there were detailed descriptions. But that’s not the same thing!

Of course, given the chaos that was going on in Clary’s life at the time, she had no time for drawing, but it’s strange that she didn’t compare the Summer Court, Seelie Queen (or anything else) to some painting or sculpture

As far as I remember, this trend continued to gain momentum, and such numerous comparisons practically disappeared later on. It’s a real pity(

[daydreamxr17]

TWP ending probably:

Kit: Do you want us to be together?

Ty: Kit, we already slept together. Five times.

Kit: ... But do you?

[blackthornnn]

This is going to be Kit in tlkof 😭😭😭😭

[kestrel-of-herran]

anyone who says emma and julian's relationship is unhealthy can fight me (ง'̀-'́)ง

[daddyblackthorn]

I started collecting Jemma moments/memories from the books last week to put in a post to prove that their relationship and situation they are in is tragic and not unhealthy, but I’m putting them here because people who hate Jemma but ship all of Cassie’s other characters need a reality check:

•Their parents put them in the cribs together •She had climbed out and busted her lip open, and baby Julian screamed at the sight of her bleeding until the adults came. •Their first steps were together, holding each other’s hands. • They were runed together for the first time and started training together. • Julian caught her when she fell out of a tree when they were 6. • Emma remarks that lying directly on top of him was sort of weird and that, like Mark, he had a nice face. • 12 year old Julian jealous of Emma’s crush on Mark. •When Sebastian attacked the institute, Julian reached for Emma’s hand. •Julian clutching Emma as they fell through the portal to Idris. • Julian also knew she needed Cortana after finding out her parents were gone. •Julian never stared at the scar she have herself from Cortana. • “Julian understood her music. Even the music of revenge” • Willing to give up finding out what happened to her parents in case it jeopardized the chances of Helen coming back. •Throwing herself at Julian when the entire family came back. Thinking of the parabatai ceremony and not just typical Shadowhunter memories, but memories of him giving her the blanket when she was cold in the car. •Secret Language. •They often slept in each other’s beds on bad nights for comfort. • Paragraphs in Lady Midnight: “Julian. A presence in her life for as long as she could recall, splashing water at each other in the ocean, digging in the sand together, him putting his hand over hers and them marveling at the difference in the shape and length of their fingers. Julian singing, terribly and off-key, while he drove, his fingers in her hair carefully freeing a trapped leaf, his hands catching her in the training room when she fell, and fell, and fell. The first time after their parabatai ceremony when she’d smashed her hand into a wall in rage at not being able to get a sword maneuver right, and he’d come up to her, taken her still-shaking body in his arms, and said, “Emma, Emma, don’t hurt yourself. When you do, I feel it too"

“The stele seemed to be moving of its own accord; she was blinded with memories, a kaleidoscope of them, all of Julian. Sun in her eyes and Julian asleep on the beach in an old T-shirt and her not wanting to wake him, but he’d woken anyway when the sun went down and looked for her, immediately, not smiling till his eyes found her and he knew she was there. Falling asleep talking and waking up with their hands interlocked; they’d been children in the dark together once but now they were something else, something intimate and powerful”

• Immediately after this, Emma started realizing her feelings for Julian. Ones she had learned to bottle up were suddenly overwhelming her and confusing her. •Exhibit A: “Boy, do you two not look alike,” she said in a way that made Emma bristle. She’d called Mark gorgeous—Julian was just as gorgeous, just in a quieter, less flashy way. He didn’t have Mark’s sharp cheekbones or faerie charm, but he had luminous eyes and a beautiful mouth that—” •Exhibit B: “She wanted to hug him suddenly or touch his shoulder, so badly that she forced her hands down and clasped them together. She looked down at her fingers; for some reason she had intertwined them, as if they made a cage that would hold her feelings in.”

•Emma was shy about buying Julian cuff links, believing it was something a girlfriend should be doing. This lead to her feeling a stab of pain at the idea of Julian with a girlfriend. • Julian seeing Emma in the white dress and wanting to capture the sight in a painting. •Julian not wanting Mark naked in Emma’s room. • Perfect dancing partners. Cut to Julian opening up about how hard it is for the people there to have to keep secrets because nobody would understand. • They both froze when the slow song came on but Julian decided to pull her in close. •Emma had butterflies and wondered what it would taste like. •Nearly kissed with the intensity of the entire situation. •Honestly just read that scene there is no putting it into words. • Julian coughing up the water she breathed and believing that when she died, he’d follow right behind her. Being glad of the idea. •Rescuing her and going on that beautiful tirade of the them belonging to eachother. •😏😏😏😏 The sex. •Being able to put past argument and whatnot to work together like they should. •Emma feeling Julian’s pain when he was being whipped and taking his place. •Julian having to be coaxed from her bedside to eat. •Julian deciding he can’t keep up the pretense of not loving her and showing her his paintings of her. •They both always take in the details of eachother’s eyes. Julian counts the gold flecks in Emma’s and Emma saw the small starbursts of colors inside his: pale gold and pale blue. •Emma being very satisfied of being the only person Julian’s been with. •That hilarious scene of Julian rolling off of Emma’s bed when Dru nearly walked in on the two of them. • THEY RECORDED THEIR HEIGHTS ON THE DOORFRAME IN HER ROOM. •Emma breaking Julian’s heart, and her own, to keep him and his family safe from the curse. Willing to keep her love and pain bottled up as long as it meant he would be safe. •Using his brother to make sure she was thorough despite having no feelings for him. • Julian looking like he’s going to puke watching Emma and Mark together (I have never related more to this) • While together hunting the demon on the ferris wheel, Emma OPENLY admires Julian’s beauty: “His hair fell in loose, fine waves over his forehead. She knew the way the skin by the corners of his mouth was soft, and the way his shoulders felt under her hands, strong and hard and vibrant. His lashes were long and thick, so dark that they seemed to have been charcoaled; she half expected them to leave a dusting of black powder on the tops of his cheekbones when he blinked. He was beautiful. He had always been beautiful, but she had noticed it too late. And now she stood with her hands at her sides and her body aching because she couldn’t touch him. She could never touch him again.”

• “Just tell me that he makes you happy. That Mark makes you happy.” •That badass scene where she drops and he catches her and swings her forward to kill the demon like holy shit. They are on a whole other level with this parabatai shit. •Julian pulling her up after and she fell on him. • Julian unable to flirt with Hyacinth because he’d never desired anyone but Emma •Emma crying after kissing Mark, especially after the mention of Julian. •CLARY LOWKEY PICTURING EMMA AND JULIAN TOGETHER. • Emma telling Christina about how her and Julian used to wait for the green flash • Julian and Emma talking about Diego and “There are other ways you could hurt him without touching him” Not so subtly referring to Emma breaking his heart? • She goes back to ask him about it and lo and behold: Shirtless Julian. She was extra aware of his chest and texture of his skin. • Emma recognizing when Julian’s walls are up around the Centurions. • Julian going to check on Arthur and Emma feeling compelled to follow. • Julian wanting to know what he did to make Emma not want him anymore. • Him telling Emma that he’s ruined. • Kissing each other and fitting into the curves of the other’s body. •“Emma—I need you, always, always think about you, I was wishing you were with me in that goddamned attic and then I turned around and you were there, like you heard me, like you’re always there when I need you … .” • Emma following Julian to Faerie despite the danger. • Julian kept the sea-glass bracelet on beside his father’s watch. • Julian helping Emma cross the path to faerie, knowing her fear of the ocean is what’s causing her to start panicking. •Julian giving up his father’s watch to meet the person who knew how to break the parabatai bond. •Emma wondering what Julian did with the paintings of her, her heart cracking at the idea of him destroying them. • Julian grabbing Emma’s hand when the path began to break apart. •When they fell, they fell together with his arms around her. •Emma reassuring Julian that they are still Shadowhunters in Faerie, even if their blades and runes don’t work. • When they made camp to sleep, they laid down near eachother. •Julian gave Emma his extra blanket when she shivered. •Pretended to close her eyes afterwards so she could watch him because she missed sleeping beside him. •They reached for eachother sometime through the night and held hands. •Julian knew instantly that the leanansídhe wasn’t Emma because her taste and scent was all wrong. •Probably could have puked after with how disgusted he was with kissing the Faerie. •Emma saw him kiss the faerie and crumpled to the ground in pain, trying not to be sick. • Emma’s turn to be jealous. •Julian giving Emma a pep talk before her duel with the knight. • Julian watching as Emma saw the face of her dead father, aching to go to her as his mind trailed to memories he had of her and her father when they were little. •Being put into the same room and Julian getting quite the boner as Emma showers and comes back in the dress slit up her leg. • Opening up to eachother and having a heart to heart because Emma had been crying about her father. • “Memories attacked his mind ruthlessly—what it was like to slide his hands over her body, the way her teeth felt against his lower lip. The arch of her body fitting into the arch of his: a double crescent, an unraveled infinity sign. He’d always thought desire was meant to be a pleasurable feeling. He’d never thought it could cut like this, like razors under his skin. He’d thought before that night on the beach with Emma that he wanted her more than anyone had ever wanted. He’d thought the wanting might kill him. But now he knew imagination was a pale thing. That even when it bled from him in the form of paint on canvas, it couldn’t capture the richness of her skin on his, the sweet-hot taste of her mouth. Wanting wouldn’t kill him, he thought, but knowing what he was missing might.”

•Would give up anything to be with her again, even if he would hate himself for it later. •The Queen manipulating Julian into doing her bidding to find the book since she knows about his feelings AND the curse.

THIS ISNT EVEN ALL OF THEM SO IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHERS YOU FOUND SWEET THEN FEEL FREE TO ADD THEM. Julian and Emma are fundamentally different from Cassie’s other ships in that they grew up together and the fact that Julian is her arguably first male character that is very morally grey, and when a morally grey character is placed with a character that is a beacon of goodness, it’s going to be different. Not everything is going to be sweet. Julian and Emma are going to fight sometimes, there is going to be angst. They are literally best friends forbidden to be in love because they will end up destroying their friends and family in time. And even when it’s filled with angst and sadness, they are still best friends and cared 100% about the other being happy even if it couldn’t be with them.

If they weren’t parabatai and were free to love, then I guarantee that most of you would ship it.

AMEN!!!!!

Perfect!

“He’d shared beds with Emma a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. But it had mean nothing when they were children, and later, when they weren’t, he had told himself it still meant nothing, even when he was waking up in the middle of the night to watch the way strands of her hair tickled her cheek while she slept. Even when she started to leave early in the morning to run on the beach, and he’d curl up in the warmth she left against the sheets and inhale the rose-water scent of her skin.”

“I don’t know what’s likely to happen,” she said. I know you have nothing to worry about. I wasn’t in love with Mark. I’ll never be in love with anyone again who isn’t you. “Just that there are things we can and can’t control.” “Em,” he said. “This is me we’re talking about.” […]“So you admit you’re a control freak?” He smiled, the sweet smile that went straight to Emma’s heart because it recalled for her the Julian of her childhood. It was like sun, warmth, the sea and the beach all rolled up in one punch to the heart. “I admit nothing.”

“You could draw me,” said Emma. She flung herself down onto her seat, leaning her head on her hand. “Draw me like one of your French girls.” Julian grinned. “I hate that movie,” he said. “You know I do.” Emma sat up indignantly. “The first time we watched Titanic, you cried.” “I had seasonal allergies,” Jules said. He’d started to draw again, but his smile still lingered. 

“Julian was standing in front of a half-timbered house with a restaurant menu pasted up in the diamond-paned window. A group of girls passed by, in shorts and bikini tops, on their way to the sweetshop next door. They giggled and nudged each other when they saw Julian. Emma wondered what he looked like to them -handsome, with all that windblown brown hair and luminous eye”

Julian, grinning, trying to scare Emma talking about rats because she was afraid of rats when she was a child.

“It’s not a book,” Julian said in a slightly odd voice. “It’s a portfolio.” He retrieved it and carried it into the living room, Emma hurrying after him. Two steaming cups of tea stood on the kitchen island, and a fire was blazing away. Emma realized that the black stuff on Julian’s face was probably ash. She pictured him kneeling here, starting a fire for them, patient and thoughtful, and felt a wave of overwhelming tenderness for him.

“‘Annabel says,’” she whispered. “He fell in love with her so early.” Julian cleared his throat and stood up. “Looks like it,” he said.

I need to write this whole thing because it’s just… UUUUGGGHHH “When his eyes fluttered open, he could see the dark glow of the fire in the hearth, nearly burned down to embers. And he could feel Emma, beside him, her arm thrown across his chest. He froze. She must have moved in her sleep. She was curled against him. He could feel her eyelashes, her soft breath, against his skin. She murmured and turned her head against his neck. Before they climbed into bed, he’d been frightened that if he touched her, he’d feel again the same willpower-smashing desire he’d felt in the Seelie Court. What he felt now was both better and worse. It was an overpowering and terrible tenderness. Though when awake Emma had a presence that made her seem tall and even imposing, she was small curled against him, and delicate enough to make his heart turn over with thoughts of how to keep the world from breaking something so fragile. He wanted to hold her forever, to protect her and keep her close. He wanted to be able to write as freely about his feelings for her as Malcolm had written about his dawning love for Annabel. You took my life apart and put it back together. She sighed softly, settling into the mattress. He wanted to trace the outline of her mouth, to draw it —it was always different, its heart shape changing with her expressions, but this expression, between sleeping and waking, half-innocent and half-knowing, caught at his soul in a new way. Malcolm’s words echoed in his head. As if you have discovered a beach you have been visiting all your life is made not of sand but of diamonds, and they blind you with their beauty.  Diamonds might be blinding in their beauty, but they were also the hardest and sharpest gems in the world. They could cut you or grind you down, smash and slice you apart. Malcolm, deranged with love, had not thought of that. But Julian could think of nothing else.”  JUST…. UUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH.

When Emma woke up after that and she found she and Julian tangled in each other and she falls from the bed and Julian goes “Why are you on the floor?” and Emma “Training for surprise attacks” and Julian “What does shouting ‘holy crap!’ do?”

When Julian stretches and Emma looks away and we read “There was no reason to sail down Sexy Thoughts River to the Sea of Perversion when it wasn’t going to go anywhere.” Chill down sis lmao

 When Emma says she wants a selfie with a piskie and Julian is all  “Emma, don’t” because of the shit she says

When they are on the rooftop of the cottage waiting for the piskies to come and they are laughing and joking and chuckling about Shadowhunters’ family mottos

Julian making toasts for himself and Emma and dreaming about having a house on the beach he himself designed in which he could live in with Emma like a married couple

When they’re gonna burn down the church and Emma “instinctively” touches Julian’s chest 😏😏😏😏😏

Emma noticing the freckles on the back of Julian’s neck —I’m gonna die because it’s all too much adorable

ok but “Julian’s heartbeat. The hundred thousand other times she had heard or felt it crashed into her like an express train. Six years old, she had fallen off a wall she was balanced on and Julian had caught her; they had fallen together, and she had heard his heartbeat. She remembered the pulse in his throat as he held the Mortal Sword in the Council Hall. Racing each other up the beach, putting her fingers to his wrist and counting the beats per minute of his heart afterward. The syncopated rhythm as their heartbeats matched during the parabatai ceremony. The sound of the roar of his blood when he carried her out of the ocean. The steady beat of his heart as she’d laid her head on his chest that night.”

Julian wanting her to understand how he felt like when she “dumped” him because he thought she didn’t love him 

Emma scared af when she thought the Rider was about to kill Julian

Emma confessing to Julian and “It has always been you”

i just need to say two words: “sex” and “wall” 😏😏😏

cuddling after that and Julian’s hands in Emma’s hair

Julian telling her that her name means Universe 

Emma kissing him because of that

When they almost did it again on Emma’s bed and their hands went everywhere

Emma saying she wanted him but they couldn’t

Julian thinking about when he noticed he was in love with her

“His Emma. His universe. His blade.” /wails/

“It was a move she had practiced over and over with Julian in the training room, using a bar that they raised just a little bit every day. The blades whipped by beneath her feet, and in her mind’s eye she saw Julian, his arms raised to catch her. Julian.”

Emma wanting to kiss Julian’s face after they fight the Riders at the London institute to make sure he is ok and Julian squeezing her hands to make sure she is fine

“She couldn’t have done it in the infirmary, but it was just Magnus, and he already knew. She went up to Julian and put her arms around him. “Be careful,” she said. […] Magnus disappeared down the hallway, leaving them alone. For long moments, they held each other in silence, letting the anxiety of the day dissipate: their fear for each other in the battle, their fear for the children, their worry over what was going to happen in Alicante. Julian was warm and solid in her arms., his hand tracing a soothing line down her back. He smelled of cloves, as always, as well as antiseptic and bandages. She felt his chin nudge her hair as his fingers flew across the back of her shirt. D-O-N-T W-O-R-R-Y. “Of course I’m worried,” said Emma. […]He kissed her forehead. His lips moved against her skin, his voice so low that no one who didn’t know him as well as Emma did could have understood him at all. “I will do,” he said, “whatever I need to do.” She knew he meant it. There was nothing more to say, she watched him go down the corridor toward the library with troubled eyes.“

when they brush hands before meeting with Robert Lightwood

Emma wanting to throw Manuel Villalobos out of the window because he basically says that Julian is a loser

they are perfect

[solitairians]

#speakingmytruth ive never liked the idea of tessa only ever being with will and jem. the whole idea to me is so depressing and on top of that I dont think it makes much sense for her character, since we know she likes to explore different facets of life and that she knows how to take care of herself as an immortal surrounded by mortals (like when she made the decision to leave her children after will's death). i dont think it's romantic that once jem dies she will never fall in love again, never get married again, never have sex again, and likely never raise kids again, when these are clearly things she enjoys and i think eternally tying her to the two men she met when she was a teenager for the literal rest of eternity is a choice made with the reader in mind (who primarily knows/cares about the will/tessa/jem romance) rather than the character who should get to grow beyond that anywhere in the 130+ years she's been alive

This doesn’t means anything in the grand scheme of things but it’s kind of a fun little thing. Part 2 of city of ashes is titled “The gates of hell” then the chapter right after is titled the “The seelie court”, then we learn in COHF that there is a pathway to hell (Edom) in Faerie kksksskskks
