Date of Death: April 9th @lightwood-bqnes - Tumblr Blog

Fully updated list with dates for all Robert mentions (plus other somewhat Rob related show content) we've had since Aaron's return in October 2023. Please note that the quotes are not exact as I just write them down from memory.

Pinned to my blog and I'll add more as we go 🤞

2023

○ October 18 - Aaron tells Vinny 'maybe I like the memories' after moving in to the second Mill flat

• October 27 - Rhona quips 'That worked out really well for Robert' in front of Aaron when he was talking about going after Craig

• December 13 - Victoria tells Aaron 'You sound like you're speaking from experience' when Aaron said she should wait for Jacob if he's the one. Followed by her then saying 'Speaking of the one, Robert's doing okay'.

2024

○ January 15 - Aaron's drunken pause to Victoria

• January 18 - Charity reminds Aaron of the time he and Robert were 'raising Seb together', * first Seb mention in years

• January 30 - Aaron rattles of all the 'ghosts' on his list to Mack, but Robert was the only on there that's still alive, * first time Aaron has spoken Robert's name since his exit episode in 2021

° March 1 - Aaron tells Vinny he will probably never have kids, so zero chance to pass on a faulty gene

• August 8 - Victoria tells John about their brother Robert, she also says to Eric that she's going to tell Robert about John, later Aaron has a very visible reaction to learning he's unknowingly hooked up with Robert's half brother and John looks at an old Sugden family photo at Vic's house

• August 9 - Aaron emotionally tells his mum that 'It's brought everything back - about Robert' and that he 'can't go there again'

• Aug 13 - Aaron says to Chas that he 'never would have gone there' if he had known John was Robert's brother

○ Aug 16 - Aaron advises Vinny that it's no use 'pining for someone who isn't there anymore'

• Aug 27 - Vic tells John 'It's nice to have someone in my corner, I haven't had that since Robert went away'

° Aug 29 - Victoria tells Aaron and John that this is 'messed up' and questions if Aaron wants to sleep with all her brothers

• Sep 2 - Vic tells Aaron him being involved with Robert's brother is 'a bit weird', Aaron tells her 'John won't replace Robert' for either of them, later John says he's 'not been auditioning as Robert's replacement'

• Sep 23 - Vic has found old family photos and wants to show John, mentions 'Rob and Andy' twice. Later, she finds out John's still seeing Aaron, and tells him 'You know Aaron is married to Robert, our brother?' (Yes, is, not was!)

• Oct 29 - Charity questions where Rebecca and Seb are after Ross brings Moses to an illegal fight *Second Seb mention this year, Charity also mentioned him in january

• Oct 30 - Ross talks about Seb a lot, while Charity asks if Robert knows about Rebecca's death. He just looks at her funny and doesn't answer, just says as far as he knows, he's still in prison

• Oct 31 - Robert is talked about throughout the whole episode, as is Seb, as Ross explains he went to see Robert in prison, where he signed papers for Seb to live in Bristol with Rebecca's aunt

• Nov 5 - More Robert and Seb talk, actual meaningful talk too, with Aaron reminicing of a time he had 'everything'. This one is extra significant because it shows Aaron looking at a photo of Robert and Seb on Vic's keychain 💛🍋

• Nov 6 - Even more Robert and Seb talk, Aaron tries to make out to John that just because he's thinking about Seb doesn't mean he still loves his dad. John doesn't believe him, and of course we don't either! Then John says rude things about Robert, which sets Aaron right off!

• Nov 8 - John apologises to Aaron for being weird about him and Robert

2025

• March 18 - Sam quips 'Loves marrying a Sugden, does our Aaron' after Aaron gets engaged to John *shudder as I write 😣 *

• April 24 - Aaron questions if John is still in love with Aidan, which in turn causes John to ask 'Are you still in love with Robert?', taking Aaron by surprise and he doesn't answer the question...

♡ May 1 - Ryan's "limited", "brief" return as Robert is leaked

☆ May 28 - Robert crashes Aaron's wedding and it's revealed Ryan is back to stay 😭

destiel - good luck babe

you could say it's just the way you are make a new excuse, another stupid reason

repressed cas truthers stand up!!!

wellofdean

Ok, but seriously, preserving these tags:

#OH GOD FINALLY A DESTIEL GOOD LUCK BABE AMV THAT GETS THE SHOE ON THE RIGHT FOOT#GOBLESS THANK YOU#but also. OBSESSED with the choice to place Cas's fucked up toxic relationship with Heaven/his fellow angels#in the place of compulsory attempts at heterosexuality#because like. god knows it would be easy as hell to just throw Cas's female love interests/multiple wives in there for the easy route#but let's be real#Meg and Hannah and April and Daphne and the Offscreen Djinn Queen Wife No. 2#are not actually the core problem at the root of Cas's repression#it's ABSOLUTELY a problem of the chain Heaven has around his throat and his inability (unwillingness?) to sever that link completely#oh my god this is such a sexy good AMV for Cas Understanders holy fucking shit I'm going insane I'm chewing fiberglass#spn

Because YES. Legit. Cas's whole rebellion against a hegemonic, systematised, obey-and-ask-no-questions heaven, which he does FOR LOVE (even if he doesn't know its true character until so much later), as well as for the first authentic selfhood, is the primary way his character is queered. GOOD LUCK BABE indeed. Shit I love fandom.

OP, this AMV is an out of the park homerun. Kudos.

“Alec remembered the old days and the old fears, the way Isabelle had occasionally tried to start conversations about boys and let Alec shut them down. He had always snapped at her, terrified to speak and to have someone hear, but sometimes at night when he thought about the possibility of being disowned by his parents, rejected by the Clave, hated by Jace and Max, his only comfort was that his sister knew, and she still loved him.”

-The Red Scrolls of Magic, page 190

deardarlingcarstairs

the lightwood family dynamic is so funny to me because:

- alec is, like, barely above mundane drinking age and running the whole shadowhunter government, which is basically the same age as his divorced, half deceased parents were when they were running around committing hate crimes. he’s married the notorious manic wizard down the street, magnus bane, who’s, like, 400-something and witnessed said parents’ hate crimes, and they’ve adopted an abandoned warlock child who is completely blue and a prickly 5 year old who doesn’t speak a word of english.

- jace was adopted because robert and maryse felt morally obligated to due to them thinking he was the son of robert’s ex-parabatai who was in love with him and didn’t even turn out being his father. he is engaged to clary who he thought was his sister but still wanted to bang, and she is the daughter of the leader of the hate cult robert and maryse were involved with and her older brother (who also wanted to bang her) killed jace’s adopted little brother. jace is parabatai with alec, who he offered to kissed once to prove a point.

- isabelle fights demons in stripper heels and is engaged (married?) to simon who is really just a guy. a guy who was randomly dragged into the their whole family disaster and turned into a vampire then drank her blood then saved her life then drank her brother’s blood because he saved her life, then forgot everything. then she dragged him back into her whole family disaster and they were will-they-won’t-they for forever (even though they were obviously will-they the whole time) and they had sex and he drank out of a shiny cup and became a shadowhunter.

- there was also this one time they were in hell and jace was having sex with clary and isabelle was making out with simon and alec was getting wine drunk by himself, all in same cave

i’m not even going to go into their parents because what the fuck

Dropping this new illustration inspired by The Mortal Instruments by @cassandraclare, featuring the crew from the New York Institute! Featured on a HUGE puzzle, part of the 2021 Literary Locations add-ons from LitJoy Crate! This was such an action-heavy illustration! So much pose! So much SFX! But I had to shove everyone out to the edges to make room for the centerpiece figure of the NY Institute building! We wanted to feature the true building and a super-imposed image of its glamour as a ruined cathedral. If it’s not apparent, I’m a huge fan of using dutch angles and wide angle perspectives in my illustrations - and that absolutely had to happen here to fit in the sheer size of the building and its surroundings. I’ve always found spherical perspective drawing so much more dynamic and fun to build! 😤✨🧡

sometimes i think about how when cordelia was about to perform at the hell ruelle matthew and lily (who didn’t even know cordelia) were clapping for cordelia to hype her up and my hearts starts to feel stuff

cassandraclare

hey cassie! this is really random but recently i reread city of heavenly fire and at the end of the book, when magnus gives alec the notebook with the story of his life in, it says theres an inscription in the front starting with "dear alec ... " and i just really want to know what the rest of that inscription says and was wondering if you ever wrote it? thank you, i love you and your books so much, they mean the world to me💛

I did write it as an extra for Ilumicrate’s Red Scrolls of Magic box; they kindly gave me permission to post it here.

Dear Alec, I once told you that you were not trivial. It broke my heart that you would think so. I should have known then that one day I must tell you this. It was never your fault that I didn’t talk to you about my past. Centuries are not easy to speak of, and they were not easy to live. There have been people I loved who thought that because I laugh so that I don’t weep or break, that I was trivial. There have been people I loved who learned more of me, and thought I was evil incarnate who must be destroyed. I didn’t know how to make those I loved think of me as more than nothing, or less than a devil. I have seen the hearts of warlocks go hard and fragile as glass over time, seen them shatter and destroy the world around them. I have seen hatred and evil in Shadowhunters and Downworlders and mundanes. I never dreamed that I would meet a son of the Angel who could love me. Once I met you, so many feelings seemed made new: love, and hope, and fear you would see me for what I truly was, and turn your face away. That you, steadfast and clean-hearted and clear-eyed, would be right to turn away. I never doubted your heart. Only my place in it. I hoped for a long time to meet someone like you. I didn’t know I had almost stopped hoping, until you came. Whether you choose me tonight or not, whether you want me for always or never again, thank you for being all that you are. Alexander Gideon Lightwood, archer boy who never misses, my hope past hope. You will know me better after you read these stories. I don’t know what you will think of me then. I only hope you know this one truth about me, with all the good and all the bad. I spent days dying in chains, thinking you would never know this, so let me tell you now. I will love you as long as I live. However long or short my life may be, it seems to me that I could never find time enough to love you as you deserve. Loving you made me believe in eternity. Aku cinta kamu.

Headcanon that Alec got bangs after Magnus broke up with him

Magnus: Oh, my Alec. You’ve been so sad. I didn’t know.

Alec:

Rafe lightwood-bane? I love ur drawings, they are so beautiful ❤❤

thank you so much! 💕 here is Rafe, with a certain vampire as a ghost watching over him !

khaleesiofalicante

Do you ever think about how protective Maryse must be over our little blueberry?

Yes, of course she loves Rafe with all her heart too. But she is particularly protective of Max and constantly worries about him - more so than Magnus and Alec (which is really saying something!)

Alec is concerned about her worry in the beginning. But he later realizes her fear.

He understands she is worried about losing another one.

Maryse lost her brother Max.

Maryse lost her son Max.

Maryse is not losing her grandson Max.

I am so glad Maryse is babysitting Max while shit goes down during ltbotw because she is not going to let anything happen to her Max - never again.

“It’s a classic love story. I hit on him at a party, he asked me out, then we fought an epic magical battle between good and evil side by side, and now we need a vacation.”

Most underrated Malec moment: when during their first date Alec gets mugged and fucking YEETS the mugger on the floor with one move and puts the boot on his face and the poor boy calls him a ninja and tells him he didn't know gays could be this cool and then a mundane agent gives him his card and tells him he should be an actor and Magnus is jealous and the mugger apologies to Magnus for ruining his first date with a ninja and it's all so random and hilarious and cute I lose my shit every time

OMG THIS SCENE IS ACTUAL GOLD. IT'S THE FUNNIEST GODDAMN THING.

The mugger in the subway tryna rob Magnus like:

Alec, another sexy urban ninja, be like:

The agent girl materialising out of nowhere like:

Then the mugger is suddenly like:

Poor Magnus out there like:
