Hey y’all! Myself and my friend noticed there was a big hole in the TSC fandom - namely, that there isn’t a Discord server for us all to come together and appreciate/freak out over our favourite Shadowhunters.

So we decided to fix it! Here is your official notice of the creation of The Downworld, a place for us to talk theories, go crazy over our beloved ships, worship those characters that maybe don’t get enough love fandom-wide, and of course, appreciate the absolute genius that is Cassandra Clare.

All we ask is that you be kind and respectful to each other, and agree to our server rules that’ll you see when you join. The server is also 18+ only, so unfortunately we won’t be able to allow minors to join.

when were we EVER promised that this would be a ty centric series? cassie has been consistently setting up dru and kit as the central povs. also, nearly every single tsc book has started with limited pov and expanded to reflect more and more characters as the story evolved. ty will still be a pivotal character in the series, and likely have his own pov chapters in the later two books, so can we all fucking relax accusing cassie of "betrayal" as if this is some horrific crime that has been committed against us?

i trust cassie to write her diversity well and with care. have any of you considered that perhaps we aren't getting a ty pov in book one because maybe she's not comfortable with her portrayal of him as an autistic character yet? or maybe that what portion she will include of his pov will be run through sensitivity readers as she has already stated? maybe it has be run through sensitivity readers and was found lacking. we don't know and so we shouldn't assume.

if this book doesn't fit your headcanons or desires, are you going to behave like this again when twp starts? or are you going to be grateful for the near on two decades that cassie has allowed us to enjoy this world with her and trust that the author you claim to love will tell a story that will close off a universe well?
