Jessa, Sizzy, Jemma, Shophie and Gideon, Cecily and Gabriel, Charlotte and Henry...
Tell me one ship in Cassandra Clare’s universe (from TID, TDA or TMI) which wasn’t at some point toxic and/or abusive? I would really like to know, because I couldn’t find a single one.
Kit deserves a medal and be praised for being Kit Herondale
No one ever SAYS that, but the undercurrent is disturbingly present in the fandom. No one would SAY “Wow Kit is really great for dealing with Ty” but that shit oozes from some posts.
All the people who imply Kit has “coped” with so much with Ty, all the people who totally invalidate Ty’s displays of love as less important than Kit’s (“ohhh Kit was REJECTED or FRIENDZONED (which isn’t a thing and also isn’t a BAd thing), Kit has his heart BROKEN”), this one is for you:
Yes. Yes he did. And is that kind of lack of understanding part and parcel of being in love with someone who’s autistic? Yeah, sometimes.
Kit is not a martyr for loving someone with autism, just like my friends aren’t saints for loving me, just like the girl I’m dating isn’t angelic for dating me.
Autistic people - disabled people in general - aren’t charity cases. We aren’t loved “in spite” of our disability - or we shouldn’t be. We should be loved by people who don’t love us “in spite” but “with” our disability or (even better) because of it!
The girl I’m seeing said she likes me because she likes that I will say things to her that no one else would ever say and that makes her feel special. I say that she makes me feel like when i laugh moths in my stomach see the light from my mouth and start dancing in my stomach. She likes that she can tell I’ve had a good date because I skip. She likes seeing me stim when I’m happy or when she compliments me. I am not a charity case.
Ty is not “interesting” or “unique” or “quirky” or all those things. He’s not a science project. He isn’t “hard work” to love. He isn’t a story of love against all odds.
He isn’t someone to love against all odds.
He’s someone Kit loves. End of.
And the people who seem to think Ty will be someone totally different after the Scholomance, all the TWP!era headcanons that make him more neurotypical, like he’ll just “grow out” of being autistic is equally aggravating. Truthfully, autism does change a bit over time in the ways it manifests, but between like 15 and 19, through puberty, it’s pretty consistent. Puberty can even cause regression, meaning autism seems more “intense”. Your Scholomance!Ty shouldn’t be neurotypically-coded. Your Scholomance!Ty shouldn’t suddenly magically adjust to a “mainstream” schooling environment.
No one - not Julian, not Livvy, not Kit, NO ONE - is a good person for loving Ty. No one deserves praise for loving him. The perpetuation of this shit is what continues the myth that autistic people can’t or don’t date, can’t be loved or be in relationships with neurotypical people.
So often I hear “why would you date a neurotypical person?” from an NT. I know exactly what they mean. I know they mean “why would a normal person date someone with autism? Why would they pick you over someone who’s less work?”
And to that I say: you’ve clearly never met an autistic person. We’re a goddamn privilege to love. We are not high maintenance or hard work, we’re not charity cases or science experiments. We’re just people craving the same stupid thing as everyone else: someone to care about us.
So, in summary:
Ty isn’t about to grow out of being autistic so note that down TWP!era fic writers
No one deserves praise for loving Ty
Kit doesn’t deserve a medal for loving someone with autism
Like Jesus Christ oh my god really??? Like REALLY???
Please stop glorifying loving someone??? Who happens to have a neurological condition??? Jesus????
Seriously. Stop.
This has been a PSA

Helen is exiled to Wrangel because it is necessary for the TDA plot. And yes, she is sent because being half-faery because the Clave is racist. We all know that. Cassandra knows that. She has said that the Clave may be the real villain in the series. Are you really complaining about a healthy family? Whoa
Casserole Chicken: I love gay people! Look at Malec and Heline! Also Casserole Chicken: *makes Alec biphobic* *gives Malec one mortal and one immortal child so Magnus and Max will live long past Alec and Rafael (the older brother in case you forgot)* *banishes Heline to Wrangel Island just because Helen in half-fae*
One taught me love

what if the last hours series is about second loves? about second chance to love. most of the characters in tsc end up with the first person they fell in love. what if in these books we get to see that sometimes you don’t get to be with your first love. or that your heart can break for your first love but can heal and can love again and fell in love madly again with someone else or still with the same person and this happens for various reasons:
James’ Herondale first love is Grace Blackthorn but second and last is Cordelia Carstairs
Grace’s Blackthorn first love is James Herondale but second and last is Christopher Lightwood
Cordelia’s Carstairs first love is James Herondale and although ends up together her heart would break and then heal for him
Lucie’s Herondale first love is Jesse Blackthorn but second and last is Matthew Fairchild
Matthew’s first love is Lucie Herondale but he sees her fell in love with another man
Anna’s Lightwood first love is Ariadne Bridgestock but she broke her heart and the second one maybe is Emeline
Ariadne’s Bridgestock first love is Anna Lightwood but they don’t end up together or maybe they do after they both decide to gave a second chance to their love
Charles’ Fairchild first love is Eugenia Lightwood but he doesn’t end up with her
Eugenia’s Lightwood first love is Charles Fairchild but she doesn’t end up with him (or maybe she does but first he broke her heart)
Barbara’s Lightwood first love is Oliver Wood but he dies
Thomas’ Lightwood first love is Alastair Carstairs but Alastair breaks his heard but they still end up together
Alastair’s Carstairs first love is Thomas Lightwood but Alastair breaks his own heart (and I have a theory here that Alastair marries Ariadne for political reasons and it’s a “fake” marriage and they know for it’s other and so Alastair and Thomas are eventually together)
