Headcanon And Art Central

I am a very huge TID/TLH fan, and this page is for reposting headcanons that seem interesting, as well as artwork! I’m also known as Anoni, so I’ll be reposting my headcanons on here as well. The artwork in my avatar was done by the incredible @adoravel-fenemeno

[tscheadcanonsandart]

Hi! This is going to be a blog that is dedicated to reposting TID/TLH Headcanons and Artwork, so if you see something that you think should be here, just shoot me a message, or send me an ask!

In my double life, I’m also known as Anoni, for those in the know, and I’ll be posting here as well as in ask boxes from now on.

Also, it might mess with the aesthetic of this blog, but if I see any of those important type chain reblogs that go around, I will reblog it on this account, because you never know when certain information can save a life. Those will be tagged under PSA.

Edit: if anyone is particularly interested in something they can send in a request for a headcanon for a person or multiple people and I will answer as long as it is TID/TLH related. Although I could be tempted into TDA territory...maybe.

Yanno what I kinda want to see?

I want to see Jem absolutely fucking kick ass, like BRUTALLY?

We all know he has it in him right?

And his SON is going to be in so much danger in TWP and honestly I want to see a scene where Jem absolutely goes feral because Kit is gone missing or injured and Jem just loses it?

I want everyone to be shocked. I want him to strike an unimaginable fear into their enemies. I want to see TMI TDA gangs faces when soft Jem is standing covered in blood because how fucking DARE someone hurt his baby?

We never get to see full protective parent mode in these books but if I trust anyone to deliver it its Jem Carstairs.

[tscheadcanonsandart]

@foxglove-airmid Ok, I absolutely love this and it sparked a thought.

What if Jem had done something like this prior to TID in order to protect Will, only everyone bar Will was surprised, because Will totally knew what Jem was capable of.

So I have this very persistent headcanon that won’t stop bugging me so I’m telling it to you because I feel like you might appreciate it.

So I feel like Institute’s have one large nursery that is in the most defendable area of the Institute where all the children, regardless of whether they’re closely related or not, are meant to sleep, after they have gotten to the point of mostly sleeping through the night as babies. And depending on the level of demon activity present they will stay there until they are old enough to receive their first runes. Just in case because there’s nothing wrong with being overly cautious. They might move out sooner but that is honestly more dependent on the parents opinions than anything else.

And yes this is partially based on how nurseries sometimes worked in older time periods.

-Anoni

Yes! I fully agree with this!

It makes more sense the longer you think about it too because Gabriel and Cecily lived in the Institute for a good number of years after the events of TID, even still living there after getting married and after Anna and Kit were born (see: The Whitechapel Fiend).

It probably also just makes it a thousand times simpler for Bridget to watch over all the little turds while their parents were out if they shared the same room. Luckily for the kids, they're all cousins so it's not too weird for them to share a room. And you know that Anna was Queen of the Nursery.

And 100% agree that the Nursery is one of the more fortified rooms in the Institute to keep the little ones safe until they're old enough to get their runes or somewhat defend themselves until more help comes. I would think that the London Institute Nursery is a particularly extra-fortified one after the events of The Whitechapel Fiend and the fact that Will is in charge of the Institute and would definitely allocate extra funds toward making sure the children are safe. He would not want to risk his kids' and nieces' and nephews' lives.

The TID parents are a cautious bunch so it wouldn't surprise me if the nurseries in their own homes had extra wards as well. Like you said--better safe than sorry!

[tscheadcanonsandart]

@livia-dovehallow I’m very glad that you enjoyed this very persistent headcanon!!! And I have always loved the fact that the kids were, up until some point when they were a bit older, more or less raised collectively. It’s just those small family bonds that are great to see. And Anna definitely ruled the roost. You just know that she is incredibly protective of her cousins and god help anyone who says a word against them or disturbs them. This particular headcanon is actually how you wound up with the image/prompt regarding the puppy pile 😅.

another herondale siblings thought

I just… really love the bond between James and Lucie?

Like they have such a lowkey siblingship that I think really suits them. They bicker and roast and annoy each other as any siblings do, but the way they look out for each other is also very lowkey but prominent. 

For example, James was willing to endure all the pain and tormet at the Academy so that Lucie would never have to. He explicity said he couldn’t let people talk about Lucie like that. And then when Lucie passively laments that no one had ever seduced her before, James so nonchalently mentions murdering whoever does as if it was on par with going to tea. I have no doubt he gets this from being around his father, who spent his entire teenage years doing what he did to protect Cecily.

And then conversely, Lucie cares for James in return, even depsite growing up “in his shadow” (pardon the pun) and being a lady rather than a man in Edwardian England. She is not afraid to tell someone off for saying shit about her brother and will take an axe (or “ridiculous hat”) to beat someone for him. She recognizes that having James as her brother is very important and treats it as such. I think she gets this from seeing how close her father and her aunt Cecily are. I am certain Cecily has spoken to Lucie many times about how even though their brothers are often the ones expected to take care of them and protect them, they also take care of and protect their brothers, too.

The Herondale siblings (Will/Cecily as well as James/Lucie) are some of the best sibling relationships in literature and I love them so much :’)

Thinking about how Jem took after his adopted Mom Charlotte and just started adopting every child he came across that needs him.

[petalsofaflower-shutupthomas]

He took one look at Kit and his mom and decided "ah yes. this family is the one"

Lucie Herondale, The overlooked one and the strongest

I am happy to see many more people who recognize the value of Lucie's character, her impetuousness and bravery that surpasses the prejudice of "being the good girl or the little sister" she is independent and has a lot to prove. Like James or worse (being a woman at that time) she has suffered from attacks on her person because of her blood, only that she doesn’t highlight or mention them, she prefers to save those comments and see the positive side of things.

Lucie through the years and the support of her loved ones:

Matthew Fairchild: Cast Long Shadows, Ghosts of the Shadowmarket:

There had been no question of Lucie attending Shadowhunter Academy. She had never demonstrated any abilities like James’s, but the world was cruel enough to women who were even suspected of being the least bit different.

“Lucie Herondale is a sweet child, but with her disadvantages, who would marry her?” Lavinia Whitelaw had asked Matthew’s mama once over tea.

“I would be happy if either of my sons wished to,” said Charlotte, in her most Consul-like manner.

Matthew thought James was very lucky to have Lucie.

James Herondale: Nothing but Shadows, Tales from the Shadowhunters Academy

Now it would be worse, now people would whisper that she had passed on the taint to her children. People would say horrible things about Lucie, James knew--about his scribbling, laughing little sister. Lucie could never be allowed to come to the Academy.

Cordelia Carstairs: Fallen with the Night, Chain of Gold.

“I do not wish to raise hopes that may come to nothing,” said Lucie “Besides  they might feel they needed to tell some of the others, and I — I have been told that being sought out by ghosts is not an appealing trait in a young woman.”

Cordelia caught at Lucie´s hand with her own bandaged one. “Tell me who said that to you. I will kill them”.

Lucie sniffled and then laughed.

Lucie Herondale: No strange Land, Chain of Gold

Lucie had been almost ten years of before she’d realized —when Rosalind and Pierd Wentworth had laughed at her— that most girls did’t hace a pestering ghost friend.

Cordelia Carstairs: The Damned Earth, Chain of Iron

She had never thought closely about how eerie it must be for Lucie, for James, to be able to see the dead. They were not simply insubstantial people. They were very alien indeed.

Lucie hadn't shown any indication of her power when she was little, but she was already discriminated against for being different. Now that she has understood the scope of it, it worries me what the Clave fans can do, it only remains to wait for those who supported her all these years to be on her side again. Long live Lucie Herondale.

sir that’s my emotional support character who believes themselves unworthy and unable of love because of all that they’ve gone through but eventually realises they are worthy of love when they reach it through their found family

[books-n-art]

Will: This little bloodthirsty bastard is going to be the death of me! Do NOT let me down Jem, I beg you!

Meanwhile the duckling: *slowly waddles away*

Jem: *carrying Will in his arms, sighs* It’s gone Will.

Will: Not unless I see its dead body at my feet!

we have forbidden to forget the reason Matthew wanted to get expelled from the Academy so bad was because he wanted to take care of Henry

[julianspancakes]

“Yes,” said Charlotte, “and a great deal of the time what we are protecting humans from is their own very foolish selves. I see that you are no exception to this rule.”

At that, Mortmain looked actually astonished. His glance went to Henry. Charlotte knew that look. It was a look only exchanged between men, a look that said, Can you not control your wife, sir? A look, she knew, that was quite wasted on Henry, who seemed to be trying to read the upside-down blueprints on Mortmain’s desk and was paying very little attention to the conversation.

Since you liked that theory how about this really zany idea?

Damnnnn. That's interesting!

I did like the one the one about Will and Cecily being twins. They do have that energy :)

[tscheadcanonsandart]

I’m glad you think it’s interesting! Thanks @khaleesiofalicante!
