San

happy pride lovely people!! 🏳️‍🌈🤍

[zoom for details!]

the only reasonable explanation is that Lucie’s price to pay is the way she has doomed her lineage (with Malcom’s rage and all).

but it’s still kinda funny when i think that Ty is being scolded and looked upon from literally everyone cause he tried to bring back his TWIN SISTER, after experiencing countless losses in his family from such a young age + he’s probably suffering from him and Livvy’s bond, and then Lucie got away with it with the power of friendship and by being a nepobaby when she raised a stranger cause she fell in love

Lucie—> Jesse ———> Ty and Dru

Clary—> Jace —> Which lead to Lilith bringing back Sebastian ———> Ash

And while is not the same, Kit existace is thanks to ‘cheating the death’ from both the lost herondale and later the descendants of the first heir (wouldn’t be surprise if Roland died or was incredibly close and got saved by Auraline and her powers)

We already see how Clary’s wish lead a domino effect that ended up with a big change in the whole shadoworld.

Even Lucie and her quest to revive Jesse led to Malcom reviving Annabel, that later led to the death of Lucie and Jesse descendant.

Malcom’s necromancy trip ended up being his own death.

Ty: Do you still mean it?

Kit: What?

1) I can’t wait to the see the friendship between Ash and Ty. I know it’s going to be one of my favorite dynamics in the series. I wonder if Ash is going to be the one to spill Ty’s secret to everyone or just Dru. If it’s related to the spell Ty performed I can see how Ash would be the one to be able to tell with his history. Something I remember Cassie saying is that the whereabouts of the Volume of the Dead is unknown after Queen but I can’t help but think that Ash has it and has been studying it to find a way to reverse the spells placed on him. Do you think Ash would perform the reversal spell himself (if that’s possible) or if Ty will since we know he has been dabbling in magic with Kit augmenting the strength of the spell.

2) I can’t help wondering who the hell Ty has kissed that it would be spoiler. Cassie said there is not going to be a love triangle between them so why make it such a big deal who he has kissed or dated in the past that it has to kept a secret for two books. Even if she doesn’t want to Kit to know why does it have to be secret from the reader? I was going to dismiss Anush as a possibility based on what Ty said in SoBH but it is possible that Anush is bisexual and they kissed before he wrote that letter and decided they were better off as friends. I feel like Anush is the most likely candidate because he’s the only character besides Ragnor we know Ty has interacted with unless it’s a completely new character. I think it would be strange for Ty to get so close to someone so quickly but it’s not impossible especially if it was just for an experiment.

3) I’ve seen some people freaking out about Cassie calling Ty and Kit star-crossed and based on the definition pretty much every couple in TSC would qualify so I don’t think we should be worried to much. I’m sure there is not going to be angst beyond what’s normal for a Cassandra Clare book. None of her protagonists have ever had an ending that wasn’t happy but that doesn’t mean that their journey to that happy ending won’t be brutal.

- For me Anush is also a very likely candidate, unless is someone new that he met during his investigation and will be plot relevant later ( a fairy or warlock perhaps). But then again, as you said, he probably is someone with who he has at least a half strong connection

-Yeah, I doubt it will be an unhappy ending for either of the main couples. For me the worst case scenario cc would put them at the ‘end’ is something like Sizzy in CoHF, but I doubt it ( more like praying)

So, I'm really confused about how the whole worlds/dimensions work in the Shadowhunter universe, and I thought maybe someone knows if this has been addressed and can help me.

My first question is: Are worlds and dimensions the same thing?

Bc Thule is both defined as a "world" and as a "dimension" in different parts of QOAAD.

We know there are several worlds/dimensions (the normal one, Thule, Edom...) and at least in Thule there are all these copies of the people in the normal world. But, are there also copies of demons?

Because at least there seems to be a copy of Lilith (as her character did different things in each world: killing Clary in Thule was the most different action). And it's said, "In your world, the demon Lilith was too weak to render Sebastian Morgenstern much help. In Thule, another demon gave aid and strength to Lilith."

So it has to be two Liliths, right? Because otherwise, how can she be too weak to help normal Sebastian and, at the same time, be strong enough, thanks to a demon, to help Thule Sebastian...?

But then, does that mean that there are two Liliths in the universe? Isn't that a bit weird? And does that also mean there are copies of the demons (like the one who gave aid to Lilith in the Thule version but not in the normal Earth version), Princes of Hell, angels… God? Wouldn't that make no sense at all?

And also, what is going on with the "there are different afterlives/hells/heavens"?

Because in one of the stories of Better in Black, Emma from Thule is thinking about how, because she has died in the normal world, she is never going to be reunited with Julian!Thule as they are going to go to different hells/afterlives . So there are also two different afterlives depending on the world you are in?

And I cannot stop from thinking about how all that impacts TWP.

Like, do the prophecies of the last heir, the last Shadowhunter, and all the apocalyptic things that we are going to see in TWP only apply to the normal world? Like, the Princes of Hell and Lucifer are only coming to the normal world?...

Or maybe there are other versions of the princes and Lucifer in Thule... but those demons don't really live on earth; they have their own worlds, so... there are also copies of their demon worlds...

I don't know if I'm making any sense, if it's just me, or the whole worlds/dimensions and Thule plot might not have the strongest worldbuilding.
