Let's pause and give Cyril Tanner some credit for being a real one. Constantly woken up in the middle of the night to take Will, Jem, and Tessa on suspicious outings that Charlotte definitely doesn't know about, and he never even questions their bullshit coverup stories.

Cyril is also in such a messy position in London, because he's literally there to replace his dead brother. Will, Jem, and Jessamine grew up alongside Thomas; Charlotte and Henry semi raised him; and Sophie was his best friend for a year. Even Tessa barely knew Thomas, and she still thinks "he's just like Thomas" every time Cyril does anything. Cyril looks similar and acts similar and fits into the same role in the Institute dynamic, but he's not Thomas and doesn't know these people. They're all looking at him wishing he was someone else, and he's never gonna truly fill that gap because no level of similarity would make Thomas and Cyril the same.

#thomas and cyril get more fucked up the more you think about it #it's mentioned that their parents were servants to charlotte's parents #so presumably the two of them were raised in the london institute alongside her #but by the time will showed thomas was working as a servant and cyril had been sent away to work elsewhere #(i'm assuming that thomas and cyril were twins and both roughly 12 at this point because will says that thomas was the same age as him)#how rough must it have been for cyril to return to his childhood home and know that all his family died there #cyril is the ghost of thomas to the shadowhunters and the institute is the ghost of childhood to cyril. do you see my vision #shadowhunters #the shadowhunter chronicles #tsc #the infernal devices #tid #cyril tanner #thomas tanner #charlotte fairchild #will herondale #tessa gray

Oh wait. I just realized Thomas Lightwood was named after Thomas Tanner (the institute's servant who died in clockwork angel ) AND they have the same build.

Wait did Sophie ( and Gideon) name their son Thomas after Thomas of TID who died saving them? Cyril's brother Thomas? I remember Sophie was very close to him, she called him her best friend back then I think!!!

The whole TID gang outside of Henry’s door with every single clock they own the day daylight savings time begins/ends

Not me rereading TID and crying over Thomas Tanner

Sometimes Will could not help remembering Thomas as he had first come to the Institute [.....] at that time he’d still been so small that he’d looked barely nine.

Will had made fun of Charlotte for wanting to employ him, but had secretly hoped he would stay so that there might be another boy his own age in the house.

And they had been friends of a sort, the Shadowhunter and the servant boy—until Jem had come and Will had forgotten Thomas almost completely.

Thomas had never seemed to hold it against him, treating Will always with the same friendliness with which he treated everyone else, albeit with a small amount of sadness.

I really like this because it illustrates the difference between Jessamine's mundane values vs. the Shadowhunter ones that Sophie already held long before ascending. (Sophie is unequivocally correct, btw - but it's so interesting to note this and an interesting character detail.

I hate that Thomas Tanner basically gets nuked ...

...but I do feel like it illustrates what it means to be a mundane in the world of the Shadowhunters, devalued in some way even if you fight and hold the same values as a Shadowhunter. Imo this is a huge reason that Sophie felt such a drive to Ascend in the end - like Thomas, she knew that she could not fight as well as a Shadowhunter as a mundane. But rather than accepting this (which is completely reasonable) Gideon pushes her to follow her dream.

And then we have this odd world building snippet, too. Lots of world building surrounding this battle. This seems really fucked up since the servants were Sophie's friends and died saving Tessa.

(Also, does this mean that Tessa was eventually barred from Will's funeral? I would ask if Magnus would be barred from Alec's, too, but laws are changing.)

In another life, a life that's not this one where Sophie and Thomas served the Nephilim, I actually think they would probably have made a great match. While Sophie obviously belongs with Gideon, everything surrounding Thomas Tanner is incredibly sad, but ultimately necessary for the world building of The Infernal Devices as well as a catalyst for Sophie's growth.

I'm glad that his name lived on in Blorbo.
