The Vampire Lestat (2026)

"He owed too much to the Blackthorns, especially Ty, to shatter over Livvy. She wouldn't have wanted that. She would've wanted him to be there for Ty"

Stabbing me in the kidney would hurt less than those lines, Cassie.

Heronthorn is obviously the answer; WHAT ARE Y'ALL DOING?!

[hrngraystrs]

I am rereading Lord of Shadows and my money is on Ty's previous crush being on Alec, actually. Putting my guess in now in writing.

unpopular opinion: i would never get in a club with noise cancelling headphones on and then take them off in the middle of the room, no matter how much i love you. that’s a brutal sensory experience for everyone, those places are LOUD and generally overstimulating. i have learned to never even cover my ears with my hands, cause getting back to full noise in one go is pretty painful. Ty blackthorn’s stronger than me, i’d drop dead

I love Kit Herondale. He's fifteen years old. He calls the shadowhunters "stupid hot people". He eats cookies out of spite. He knows how history works. He has existencial crises for breakfast. His brain breaks when Ty laughs. His professional aspirations reduced to becoming a con man. He has so many grievances against the aforementioned stupid hot people he starts writing down a list. He truly is the character of all times.

Hi, Cassie. Since Tessa's ability is shape-shifting, could she simply turn into Will to remember the exact colour of his eyes by looking in the mirror, or would it be too painful for her?

I just don't think she imagines there would be any point. Forgetting the precise color of Will's eyes isn't about the color. It is about forgetting Will. She doesn't just forget his eye color, she forgets his laugh, and as time passes, she knows she will forget more.

It's like Will turning around to talk to Jem and realizing he isn't there. Eventually he'll stop doing that, and that stopping is also a loss, because it's the acceptance that Jem is gone. Tessa turning into Jem wouldn't help Will, and her turning into Will wouldn't help her.

The eye color is just a symbol. It's not the loss itself. Tessa's power might be able to reproduce Will's appearance, but it can't restore what she's actually mourning: the experience of living in a world where he is still there.

Louis reading books to ignore Lestat.... Gabriella reading books to ignore Lestat.... much to think about

Sometimes you see the part titled "Thule" and you just gotta close the book for a bit

[an-useless-sapphic]

not to compare my darlings but…

everyone always quotes the ”she realised she had forgotten the precise blue of his eyes” but to me the most devastating moment from the epilogue will always be ”i’m still a parabatai, but my other half is gone”

does anyone have $1k and a parasocial relationship with me that may tempt them to send it to me

you know what one really underrated but heartbreaking scene in tda is? that scene in lady midnight after mark comes back, when he lets the kids eat whatever they want for breakfast and makes a mess of the kitchen. everyone’s having fun but then julian comes and sees it and kind of just malfunctions and breaks down.

because julian can never be the fun one. he can never be the one who lets them eat syrup for breakfast, he’s too busy making sure they have actual food to eat for each meal of the day. julian can’t make a mess everywhere and leave it to clean later, he’s too busy running the institute and making sure the kids keep up with their studies and have clothes to wear and are as put together as they can be.

julian never gets to be the fun older brother, because he’s the parent. julian doesn’t get to take things lightly because he’s too busy holding everyone up. julian is serious because he stopped being a child when he lost his last parent aged twelve. julian is serious because the only person in the world he can open up to and share some of his burden with is the one person he can’t have without losing everything. cristina sums it up when she says to mark: he is envious because he loves them but cannot be their brother. he must be their father. in his mind, they dread him and adore you.

julian could never be the fun older brother. because he was too busy being the only parent the blackthorn siblings had left.

“You can’t fix him” I don’t wanna fix him! I wanna FUCK him! I’m a pervert not a psychologist!

[soelgis]

i feel like a lot of people think that julian would be the one to give kit shovel talk but i am like 99% sure it’s going to be mark

[kryptonians]

Tumblr’s one true talent is making me sick of things I’ve never seen or read or heard.

[glitter-hound]

its the fact that armand does absolutely nothing to stop him that gets me

If you see the vampire armand getting pushed against a wall by daniel molloy DO NOT help him. He is exactly where he wants to be.
