“I love you, Ty. I love you.” ❤️
Both Livvy and Dru Blackthorn deserve the world🖤🖤🖤. I Love you. I love you. I love you.
when the whole fandom is just geniuses lol
random thought I had the other day but never shared but. Ty lowkey parallels King David. I was thinking about QOAAD & the Battle on the Imperishable Fields, and how it's kinda weird Ty is mentioned multiple times to be using slingshot because that's not a typical shadowhunter weapon we see. then it occurred to me that literally a battle where giants show up and Ty helps "slay" them so to speak. like David & Goliath, which is also previously mentioned in QOAAD by Emma
where Julian's words are equated to David's stones. and by the way, David is said to have five stone and who's the fifth Blackthorn to try & speak to Julian & Emma? Ty. and this is what happens when he does.
not only that but King David of David & Goliath fame is also the David of (biblical) David & Jonathan fame, which the parabatai law draws inspiration from. aka the thing actively going wrong at that very moment. Biblical Jonathan also dies btw. and you wanna know what the icing on the the cake is? David's dad's name is Jesse.
theres no way this isn't a purposeful reference but I have no idea if it's like. just CC having fun or something that had Implications. food for thought.
i have returned after spending the past like... 2 days reading qoaad whenever i had free time? which was, unfortunately, not a lot, so i took a while
so, basically, ive finished the whole of qoaad in two days, and now have nothing to read bc the wait time for sword catcher on my library's libby app is 6 weeks
but regardless, i will never be the same again. qoaad has changed me, yall. i dont think i will ever recover from kitty. i wait even more impatiently now for twp
also, ive almost read every book in the series (that isnt a kickstarter)! now ive just gotta read notable shadowhunters & denizens of the underworld (not the updated one bc, again, i dont have any of the kickstarter books. sob 😭.)
yall.... i was checking the my book stats for qoaad on libby (dont ask, i was bored.)
now, i havent yet borrowed the book. ive got it on reserve, ive been waiting for 2 weeks, im first in line
so i look at the stats. and idk if this is a glitch, or if ive just read the sample way too many times for it to be healthy, but...
my stats say i have read that book for 1h 5min.
1h. 5min. and ive only had access to the sample.
1h 5min of reading one or two chapters.
WHAT THE FLIP, ME???
Emma and Julian mood board ➰
Kit: My life has just kinda gone downhill since the day I found out that it wasn’t actually Zac Efron singing in High School Musical
Mark: WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT WASN’T ZAC EFRON SINGING?!
Kit, holding a baby carrot like a cigarette: I’m just… over it, you know?
Alec: FUCK THE CLAVE
Magnus, sighing: Honey, you ARE the clave
Mugger: *points gun* Your money or your life
Julian: Sure thing
Julian: *hands him his ID* You got 5 siblings but you are more like a mom than an actual brother to them. Oh, and you're running a whole institute by yourself since you were 12.
Mugger: No, I mean-
Julian: *already grabbing Emma’s hand and running away* You’re late for Ty’s recital
Emma: Before you insult someone, walk a mile in their shoes, because then you’re a mile away and you have their shoes.
Diego: WHERE ARE MY SHOES?
Julian: *knocks on the door*
Mark: Who is there?
Julian: It’s me, Mark
Mark: Don’t lie to me, I am Mark!
Julian: *leaves without even opening the door*
Kit: Hey, hey, hey
Ghost!Will: Kit, stop it, I’m serious-
Kit: I’m dancing on your bridge!
Ghost!Will: Just listen
Kit: fuck yOU goat man!
Julian: In an emergency, a crayon will burn for 30 minutes.
Kit: How long do they burn if it’s not an emergency?
Jem: Please, don’t make fun of me if I misuse outdated cultural references, okay? Are we cowabunga on this?
Kit, about to cry: Yeah, we’re cowabunga on this
Ty: So as some of us know, Julian may appeal a little scary…
Kit: “A little”? That boy's a stone cold Slytherin
Mark: Oh shit, a cockroach!
Julian: Well, take off your shoe and kill it!
Mark: *takes shoe off and squashes it with his bare foot*
Julian: NO-
Julian: AND WHY THE FCK WOULD YOU DO THAT??!
Kit: Why is helping someone hide a body the standard for true friendship?
Kit: Look, if you’re in trouble, I’ll lie to the cops for you. I’ll dispose of evidence. Whatever.
Kit: But please I am begging you, do not make me dig a hole. That sounds so hard.
Dru: *Stares blankly*
😂❤
So maybe I don’t have muscles, or hair in certain places and sure, when a girly pop song comes on the radio, sometimes I leave it on! ‘Cause dang it, top 40 hits are in the top 40 for a reason! They’re catchy!
Kit Herondale, probably
Diego: Yesterday my fiancée Zara cheated on me with my best friend Manuel.
Jamie: Wait, since when is Manuel your best friend?
Diego: Since yesterday.
Tessa, looking around Kit’s room: That’s odd. There are takeout food containers in the trash...
Kit: That’s my dinner from last night.
Tessa: What’s odd is that they’re in the trash
*Jem giving Kit a present*
Jem: Happy birthday, Kit! I hope you love it. I’m sorry I couldn’t find any wrapping paper, so I wrapped it in hundred-dollar bills.
Kit: I love it already
Livvy: Hey, can you watch my drink for a second while I go to the bathroom?
Kit: Sure, but isn’t letting dudes watch your drink a bad idea?
Livvy: I just saw you mouth all the words to that Taylor Swift song and figured that you were harmless
Kit: I got you
Ty: Kit, please don’t pronounce “Hors D’oeuvres” as “horse divorce” ever again
Kit: Not to brag
Kit: but I solved a puzzle in 2 weeks
Kit: and the box said 2-4 years
Ty:
Emma: I’m fine.
Julian: No, you’re not fine. How could you possibly be fine? You’ve been STABBED!
Emma: But I’ve been stabbed before, so it’s fine.
Julian: You don’t just develop an immunity to stab wounds!
Raziel: Did you give Johnny Rook the bison as I told?
Angel: Wait, what?
Raziel: The bison, so that he can shoot it and get his anger issues out...?
Angel: The bi son...
Raziel: The bison...
Angel: Bi son
Raziel: B i s o n
Angel: B i - S o n
Kit: Hello 911? My hands are both stuck in Pringles tubes… both hands, yes…
Kit: Look, it’s not important how I dialed the number, just send help... STOP LAUGHING
