Ash Morgenstern Defense Squad

We can still pretend he has freckles because that's so cute

We have Thais' POV in the first book as well as, once, the POV of one of Ash's friends. I can see why people are curious about Anush and whether Kit has friends because very little is known about what these folks have all been up to in the years in between TDA and TWP, so it is natural to speculate about people whose names you know. Might they be important to one of our folks? Thais is important to Dru, and Anush is clearly friends with Ty, but otherwise, we don't know.

And unfortunately the answer is I can't really tell you. I can say over and over that this is Kit and Ty and Dru and Ash's story and the others are supporting characters, but even then, there's going to be an attempt to figure out a heirarchy of supporting characters. I know that. :)

None of this is unusual, it's the product of waiting a long time for the continuation of a story! You start to imagine what might be in it and build theories around that. I've done it myself. I can only say that there's no way to really guess what happens in a next-book-in-a-series because there can always be a new character, location, or plotline that has never been hinted at.

I will say that TWP is something of a unique case in that not only do we have our main four, but we have Thais, Jaime, the entire cast of TMI, the entire cast of TDA, and a chunk of the cast of TID as well as characters from TEC who all have to play some part in the story and be relevant. So I think this is a slight situation of Be Careful What You Wish For. Would it be fun to get to know Anush better? Sure! Would it be worth it if it takes pages away from Kit, or Ty or Dru? Or Magnus or Alec? Or Clary or Jace or Jem or Emma? Or the meaningful development of a different complicated relationship, like the one between Kit and Ash? Because that's a real choice that has to be made — alas, books cannot have infinity pages, even if we want them to. :)

In context of Ash & Kit

I am crying happy tears in my corner

P.S. Chinchilla snippet 👉👈 ?

Kit: Gosh, I‘m kind of cold

Ty: Here, take my jacket

Ash *looking at Dru*: I‘m kind of cold too

My question is with Kit and Ash having some similarities are they hoing to be spending time together maybe becoming friends?

Me

The way that the bell breaks the border in this image and obviously is getting a decent amount of emphasis is very very intriguing to me, especially the way it almost breaks out of the frame.

Bells in the past have often been used to give people warnings in case of incoming danger, it is hard to know exactly what the weeping angel is meant to represent. However, Livvy seems intrigued by the Angel so maybe the bell is meant to represent that the Angel is not what it seems and she should leave? Perhaps a demon in disguise?

At the same time, Livvy herself is kind of the spirit signaling that danger is near. Two times in the TLKOF snippets we’ve seen Livvy warn others

“Kit, you have to get up,” she was saying. Kit had seen a lot of ghosts in his life, but never one as clearly panicked as Livvy was now. “They’re here, they followed you —“

Livvy didn’t laugh. Did ghosts laugh? Dru wanted badly to see her sister’s face, not just hear her voice. “Come with me,” Livvy whispered. “We haven’t got much time.”

So there’s a possibility here that the bells are meant to represent Livvy herself.
