Ty, go get your man. He’s running out of people to ghost.

Oh, and shout out to @isanyareal6 , the only reason this exists is because she bribed me with fanfiction.

AHAHAHAH for the “boyfriend moments” comment: i think it was just a way to mean the typical boyfriend/couple-like stuff! Likely that person wanted to ask if there were gonna be scenes that are kinda domestic and romance. Which we’d all love, but I think Kit and Ty have higher fantasy stakes than that in their world and their love too👀🌈

I feel enlightened!

I think you are right about fantasy stakes. When I think of romance, at least in a Shadowhunter context, I think high stakes, high emotions, massive consequences and, usually, the absence of the luxury of time. Also, usually Magnus walks in on you at some point or another.

I do think of TWP as very romantic books. Part of focusing in so closely on the main four characters is to give those romances space and time. It allows for Kit and Ty to be on a desperate chase across Europe but occasionally have time for squabbling over whether licorice is disgusting (yes, yes it is) or you, know being terrified about the other person's safety (which I find romantic, though not domestic.)

If the question is just whether Kit and Ty ever do anything romantic, I do not know what terrible person would promise a romance between two characters and then never let them do anything romantic. Kit and Ty must reconnect after a bad split, but that in itself is a romantic process. Also, they are quite a bit older than they were in TDA so "I don't know, do I maybe want to kiss this person?" is more like "I desperately do want to kiss this person, but maybe they do not return the feeling."

But even then, desperate kissing is just part of a whole, and ideally only works if the two people can also just have a nice time together when things are slightly less desperate. Like trying to make pancakes together. Which might happen. I'm just saying.

magnus is such a genius character creation. he's the perfect plot device: he's an outsider, but he isn't; he's a friend of the nephilim yet an advocate for downworlders; he's been alive for centuries; he is the high warlock of brooklyn, extremely powerful, and happens to be dating one of the main characters of the story.

not only is he the perfect way to keep moving the plot forward, a way out of conflicts that otherwise would have the characters scrambling and the plot meeting dead ends, he also provides INSIGHT. he will tell you who every character is, which generation they're from, remind you of connections between series you might otherwise have forgotten about and no other character has a way of knowing. he shows you glimpses of the past. he's there to tell stories to provide the reader with knowledge the characters don't have.

but he's also a genuinely interesting character. he's not just there. he has a story, he has an intrinsic personality, he has morals that don't necessarily align with the main character's. he gives the reader a different perspective and is there to point out the nuance of a situation, kinda brings the reader back from an otherwise biased narration. yet he's still very uniquely HIM.

it's genius.

Still can’t get over Johnny calling his definitely-not-a-shadowhunter- son “Christopher Jonathan” like sir. You may as well have named him Shadow McHunter at that point
