Why dont you make one poll about best or favorite tsc gang?

Which one is your favorite TSC gang?

TID gang.

TLH gang.

TMI gang.

TDA gang.

Voting ended onApr 26, 2023

I feel like this will be a very controversial one. Let's see....

(I didn't include TWP gang because we don't really know what their dynamic will be like. I can make another poll after the series is out.)

Also, if anyone has any other poll ideas, please share with me! Thank you to the person who came up with this one.

cassie saying she softened the end of tlh because of the pandemic and made it a loss less painful and tragic is giving me life. i wouldn’t have survived a clockwork princess 2.0

Rune Series: Set 4/6. On relationships. (All rune sets).

Malec’s caption is Milton and the last words of CoHf, delivered by Jace. Thinking about how Alexander changed the entire world to marry a warlock man in Shadowhunter gold. “To love or not; in this we stand or fall” (Paradise Lost).

Jace/Alec are criminally underrated parabatai. I think often of Jace telling Alec in CoHF, “You always looked after me. Always.” And Alec tells him to stop talking because “that’s how people talk when they think they’re going to die.” Bestest brothers; they deserve to live together forever.

the tlh gang being chaotic: choi edition

"Every time she thought about her wedding, she wanted to jump out of the window."

christopher eating a pear made of wax

cordelia freaking out about the new house and wondering if james forgot to check if it had a roof

“At least her marriage is publicly recognized. When I married Nate, no one even wanted to hear about it.”

“Well, that’s probably because he was a murderer, Jessamine.”

lucie kissing a ghost in the middle of the shadow market......no words

“WHAT?” said Thomas, so loudly they all jumped. “Sorry,” he said. “I was all prepared to shout and I hadn’t got a chance yet.”

“No doubt,” said James, but Cordelia could tell from the look on his face that he had many doubts indeed.

Thomas Lightwood, 6'5, after thinking he had been rejected by his crush in the room they were locked in: well i have no choice but to hide behind a candelabra

“Well,” said Alastair, “that was a whacking great lot of rubbish James just spouted, wasn’t it?”

“You cannot propose,” she said. “I am already married.”

Notes:

Despite Ash being born in 2007/8, he is around 13 in LoS and 17 in QoAaD as time works differently in Faerie.

Kieran was born around 1992, however Gwyn said he was "Under twenty" in LoS so the specific age is unknown.

I could not find the estimated ages for certain characters, like Gwyn Ap Nudd, which is why they aren't there.

i can't get intimate parabatai moments out of my head

just imagine jace holding alec close to his body, rocking them gently when alec gets so stressed his breaths come out shaky. the way alec curls into jace in a way he wouldn't dare with anyone else. the way alec trusts him enough to let go completely. the way jace tightens his hold and shushes him quietly when alec let's out a sob and turns his face into jace's chest.

imagine matthew seeking james out in the middle of a party because he turned to tell james some gossip before realizing he had slipped away. the way matthew heads straight to the library because where else would his parabatai be? the way matthew lays his head in james's lap and let's james read aloud to him for hours. the way james cards through matthew's hair in the way he knows matthew loves. the way matthew silently preens. no one else willingly touches him like this.

imagine jem silently making his way to will's room sometime around 3 in the morning because he can feel the stress of his nightmares through the bond. imagine jem laying next to will and wrapping an arm around him because he doesn't want to wake will up due to how seldom he does sleep. so he just offers silent comfort and support and will basks in the warmth that radiates from their bond when he wakes up in the morning and sees jem sprawled next to him on the bed.

imagine emma wrangling all the kids up while julian cooks breakfast. the soft touches in passing and then the arm julian wraps around her once everyone is settled and eating. the kiss he presses to her temple and the smile emma hides in his chest.

imagine simon shrieking when clary beats him at his favorite game for the fifth time. clary's warm laughter flooding the room and simon shoving her bodily off the bed. simon's triumphant smile he gives clary from the bed.

imagine cordelia and lucie dancing in the ballroom of the institute for no other reason than want. the way cordelia ducks under lucie's arm with a laugh when lucie spins her. the way lucie absolutely giggles when cordelia dips her. the way they stumble when corselia looses her hold around her parabatai.

just intimate parabatai scenes where they both feel comfortable and warm and just loved because there is no love stronger than the one shared between parabatai.

Cordelia demanding an apology from James for leaving her alone on the dance floor was the moment that cemented my love for her.

Malec Month is Here!!!

Aight, let’s do this shit. 

Malec Month will begin on the 5th April - thought we’d start after Easter ;)

The month only has a base structure for each week. This means on each individual day, you can post whatever you want about the theme of the week. 

However, I will post random themes/events on random days to spice things up!! So watch my cursed blog for some fun surprises. I have some crazy ideas for these, homies!!!! 

HERE ARE THE WEEKLY THEMES. 

1st week - 05th to 11th April - ALEC WEEK 

You can post anything you want about Alec. The goal is to appreciate the fuck out of this boy. 

2nd week - 12th to 18th April - MAGNUS WEEK

This is your opportunity to flood the Magnus Bane tag with love and laughter - and possibly some glitter. 

3rd week - 19th to 25th April - MAX AND RAFE WEEK

Hey we can’t forget the Lightwood-Bebes now, can we? I want to see soft and fluff™. 

4th week - 26th to 31st April - MALEC WEEK

Do whatever the fuck you want. But make it Malec!

Some important things to remember!!!

You don’t have to post content every day. Malec Month is supposed to be fun - not stressful!! Post when you can. Create when you want. 

You can make any type of content - fics, art, fics, head canons, moodboards, playlists, whatever you want. You’re the boss!

You don’t have to make content yourself. If you want to participate but don’t have the time to make stuff, just support your friends and fellow malec stans. That’s is enough. 

You are more than welcome to reblog your old posts for malec month. The goal is to flood the hellsite with malec. It does’t matter if it’s new or old. 

You can create content about show malec or book malec. Everyone is welcome here. (Except movie malec - that shit was kinda weird I must admit. JK! I will allow it :P)

Please tag me in anything you create or share so I can reblog it!!

Use the tag “malec month” so people can track your posts if they want to.

Respect differences and play nice or I will tell Jem. 

HAVE FUN YOU LIL SHITS.

Rules for Malec Month

There are no rules. Be gay. Do Crime.

Can I offer you some really hastily done Lily Chen in leather gloves in this trying time?

I can’t stop thinking about the lightwood symbol being inside of jace’s herondale ring and how he sees the lightwoods as his bedrock! I love when someone finds their real family 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😭😭😭😭

I’m going to bed when this soft thought 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

“I know you don’t believe in-in religion-the same way I do, but you can believe you’re surrounded by people who love you, can’t you?“ His eyes were wide, hopeful. They were the same dark brown they had always been, but different now, as if another layer had been added to their color, the same way his skin seemed both poreless and translucent at the same time.”

Happy Passover, the best way to celebrate it is with an edit for my favorite Jewish vampire shadowhunter.✡︎
