kit in tda: i'm evil i'm bad to the bone i was raised a liar and a thief and I'll die that way, i'm fundamentally incapable of doing right, something is broken inside me 😞😞😞

kit in twp, hanging out with the "let's just kill people and shatter the laws of nature" squad: OH MY GOD CAN ONE OF YALL ACT RIGHT PLEASE WTF, I CANNOT BE THE VOICE OF REASON HERE

[dreadeves]

as amazing as the sun tarot card of kit is, it also makes me scared abt the jace-ification of kit in twp bc of that fuckass sword. do you really think kit ‘trickstery & raised as a thief’ herondale is gonna automatically reach for a sword as his main weapon. to be fair, there r other issues with the pic like the herondale necklace which means it’s not necessarily following canon as is, but still. pls maintain his tda characterization when growing him as a character cc…. pls…..

imagining the sheer horror/grief kit and ty would experience if the chain randomly came on the radio while they’re traveling

me making a kit herondale playlist but it’s just songs about complicated feelings towards your own father

kit wondering if rosemary would regret sacrificing her life for him if she'd seen who he turned out to be and the choices he made

[winesharksea]

i honestly can't say why but if i were kit i think my breaking point in tda would have been some random coming up to me, announcing that he and this other guy whose family home im crashing in are intimate together, then calling my eye color basic

like i can't explain it because there are so many actual horrible things happening to him but the traumatic death of my emotionally absent father and bigots yapping at me and being politely coerced into this place i don't want to be and people continuing to not respect my wishes re: my own name would be the bricks laying the foundation of my generational crash out and that would have been the straw that broke the camel's back

i think the most beautiful thing about being a human is the capacity to change

Kit hiding 🤝 Ty hiding

his heritage. his scars.

They really are working really hard to keep that ancestral miscommunication-trope alive

[winesharksea]

thinking about baby kit realizing for the first time that he can't see things other people can't and immediately being pulled out of school for it, meaning he's lost an entire life and will never fit in to mundane society like the average person

but it's okay because even though he's a lot more isolated now he still gets to go to the shadow market and hang out with his buddies there and he's not best friends forever with anyone but he has people he likes to spend time with and can joke around with

and then his father is murdered and he's outed as a shadowhunter and he loses all of that too and will never be welcome in that society the same way again, which is really scary and isolating because he doesn't like the shadowhunters, and before he even has time to get used to the idea they tell him he's a Special shadowhunter with extra special ancestors

but he manages to find people who might like him that he gets along with and don't care about all that and he starts to feel like he could think about the future here

and then THAT is torn away from him too because it's revealed that he's not only a shadowhunter but also the lost heir and therefore everyone who associates with him is in danger so even if he could trust someone at this point he can't get truly close to anybody because they'll get caught in the crossfire

“Whats your favourite horror movie?”

Oh nothing it’s just Kit never experiencing love nor being able to give love for 15 years, believing the first person he ever truly loved never cared about him and not being able to look at others who love eachother without thinking that he must be irrevocably damaged and unloveable, and those who love him will only suffer for it, for not being able to understand that sense of warmth and trust that he should’ve known all his life, for being terrified to love knowing that anyone who has ever cared for him slightly seem to die or be punished for simply loving.

hey cassie! so you mentioned at some point that ty really only listens to classical music, but what kind of music do you imagine kit and dry would like?

This is something I genuinely don't think about much of the time, partly because Shadowhunters aren't all that interested in mundane music as a rule, and partly because the timeline of the book is ten years behind us (in TLKOF) and so there's a huge gap between what was musically popular then and what is now, and I try not to date the books too much (So many flip phones in TMI, so many).

In terms of their personalities I think Dru would like feminist indie stuff and Kit would probably be more of a Radiohead (they released A Moon Shaped Pool that year) or alternative-punk guy, if he was paying attention, which he often isn't. But you are welcome to headcanon any kind of musical taste for them!

[starrieshq]

I'd follow Kit Herondale to hell and back but I just wished that Cassandra Clare would stop sending him there

[winesharksea]

none of these main characters have a fully functional moral compass and i love that for them and for us

[liarambles]

I love the fact that Kit will automatically seem to have the more sound morals in twp only because Ty’s, Dru’s and Ash’s have entirely flown out the window in TDA has already been proven to me by the sample

[tys-kitty]

At the end of the day I just know that it will be Tiberius Nero Blackthorn‘s love confession that will complete me as a person
