@booksociety’s LGBT+ pride event: Red, White & Royal Blue
This made me cry
the waterloo letters: an excerpt
if i could spread it out on my desk, i’d find the corner of your mouth where it pinches with my fingers, and i’d smooth it away and you’d be marked with the names of saints like all the old maps. i got the nomenclature now - saint’s names belong to miracles.
give yourself away sometimes, sweetheart. there’s so much of you.
fucking yrs,

I thought the same thing. Becaus interdimensional portals don't just open in another world. It can be open in diferent times, ex: Emma and Julian crossing the portal to Thule moments after Annabel and Ash, but arriving years later. Faerie in itself seems interdimensional. Time dosent flow like anywhere else. What if it's not the land speeding up but the distance between worlds?
What if I told you TLH doesn’t happen in the past and it’s happening around the same time as TDA?
Let me explain. In COG Cordelia saw a “view of dead ground and broken trees, and a red moon rising”. The desert, the mention of a red moon, is literally a description of Thule. I couldn’t understand how it was possible if Thule and our dimension split during the dark war, way after TLH.
But what if TLH isn’t happening in our dimension but another one exaclty the same as our own, except is 1903. Maybe time passes slower, so it’s identical but with different times.
And the Avenger Assemblence Cassandra Clare talked about, with the characters of the shadowhunter chronicals in TWP (And has confirmed they aren’t ghost), is possible because they travel from their dimension to ours, like Emma and Julian did.
Just a thought
Hey Julian,
Thanks for your letter! We’ve never been to Cirenworth but it sounds beautiful. Funny to think of quiet, modest Jem and Tessa living in a turreted MANOR HOUSE. It sounds like Kit’s settled in well and really become part of their family, which is wonderful to hear. And we need more pictures of Mina! Never enough pictures of Mina! I will drop a line to Tessa immediately.
But mostly I wanted to say: please don’t worry yourself about Ty and Kit. You’ve got a house to renovate and fairy renovators to manage and a ghost to help and a curse to break…it’s a lot on your plate already. You know Ty, and you know he always speaks his mind. He’s made it clear he doesn’t want to talk with us about Kit. Whatever happened between them (and yes, we’re curious, of course we’re curious!) we have to respect his wishes.
Besides, you remember being a teenager. It is a time of HIGHEST DRAMA. (Uh, admittedly, your teenage years contain some specific drama that most people’s don’t, e.g. the civil war in the Clave, Malcolm, you turning into a glowing giant stomping on people.) (Yes, we know you didn’t actually stomp on anyone.) With a little more time and distance from whatever happened, I bet Ty will eventually come around and want to talk about it. We just need to give him time. And maybe Ty needs more time than most people. (For instance, it turns out he needs more time than Kit.)
Either way, please don’t worry too much. You know as well as I do that Ty is stronger than he seems. He’ll be all right.
Thanks for the picture, which Aline is going to have printed out at the drugstore so we can hang it on our well. I think we’ll put it in the kitchen—I miss our CHAOS BREAKFASTS. (Aline has come by to read this and she says that she is going to switch her primary Shadowhunter weapon and start training to fight with Chaos Breakfasts.) Here’s a photo for you in return! Tavvy has gotten deeply into Pokemon, which is very cute and also worrying. Will memorizing 700+ imaginary monsters get in the way of his learning the names of actual demon types or weapons? We worry he won’t be able to tell the difference between a glaive, a guisarme, and a bec de corbin!
Love you, love to Emma and hey, love to the ghost, ghosts need love too,
Helen
Okay. I just finished reading Red White & Royal Blue from Casey Mcquinston and I can officially say that my life is finaly over. I lived long enough to see this beautiful masterpiece and it is GLORIOUS!!!

“First the flame and then the flood: In the end, it’s Blackthorn blood. Seek thou to forget what’s past First thirteen and then the last. Search not the book of angels gray, Red or white will lead you far astray. To regain what you have lost, Find the black book at any cost.” Cassandra Clare - Lady Midnight
