TKM is one of the funniest aftg books because neil is actively getting hunted for sport the entire time and instead of caring about that he’s just meddling in other people’s lives and playing therapist for 400 pages: telling kevin to start living for himself & and forcing the twins to go to therapy together & passing jean’s number on to renee so that she can talk to him. and it WORKS too. the field of psychology lost its best mind when neil decided to go pro w/ exy

1. gansey saying this literally at all is fucking INSANE . 2. "good" implies that ronan did indeed nod like he understood. 3. ronan being upset that his little task got taken from him .... god. i think this was not discussed as it should have been

nasa: we're going to shoot three rockets directly at the sun during the total eclipse. for study and research purposes.

me: oh cool

nasa: we have named the rockets apep. this stands for atmospheric perturbations [in the] eclipse path.

me: oh cool

nasa: apep is also the ancient egyptian deity of chaos and darkness, who ceaselessly seeks to extinguish the sun. we launch these rockets directly at the sun in the name of apep.

me: oh... cool?

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.

Nora really knocked it out of the park with how she managed to constantly portray Neil as such an unhinged character. Not just in the bigger scenes or important moments, but even in little snippets here and there throughout the whole serie.

Like what do you mean that after paying a stranger 100$ to knock him out, Neil’s reflection on it the next chapter is “I’ve been quite reckless with how I spent my money recently, I’ve got to be more careful”.

Like, Neil, honey, the money is not the fucking problem.

POVs

Amanda: When you say that "Also I'm working on not overwhelming people with so many POVs. :)" is a TLKoF, will it be a story with just the POV of the 3 protagonists? We already know that Ash and Jaime won't have POV in this first book, so will it just be Ty, Dru and Kit?

I can think of at least one other POV that's in there. :) I would say it's too early to say definitely — entire POVs and characters can be removed or added in editing. But there won't be the eight or so POVs there were in TLH (and I'm not knocking multiple POVs, it just varies depending on the needs of the story, and I'm just talking about book One.)
