I love how a very important and valuable lesson the shadowhunter wolrd teaches us, through making shadowhunters reject mundane history, is that so many things are happening because shadowhunters have never known of the consequences, and so they do not learn from the mistakes. It's their first time thinking of something like this and they don't realize it's basically nazi germany 2.0.
It puts into a different perspective why learning about history is so important and why it's SO IMPORTANT not to repeat it.
(it is also extremely frustrating to read oh my god kit ur right pick a fucking history book)
I actually love the fact that Ty smiling or laughing causes Kit’s brain to short-circuit every time without fail. Kit is a simple man and I can’t blame him for it
One scene that is very dear to my heart is when Gwyn rides to the Institute to beg Mark and the others to save Kieran's life after he's found to have killed Iarlath.
It's just sooooo complicated for Mark because I understand he feels betrayed and everyone agrees Kieran's actions caused Julian and Emma a lot of pain. But then again-- that was never Kieran's intention. He genuinely believed Mark's only punishment for his "fault" would be to be dragged back to Faerie, and that's all Kieran wanted-- to have Mark back.
And no other of the kids saw it as that-- as an attempt for Kieran to get his love, the one he'd lost, back, which backfired in a way he just did not know to expect-- but Gwyn did. Gwyn said
"He loved you and he lost you and he tried to get you back,” he said. “He wanted you to ride with the Hunt again. So did I. You were one of our best. Is that so terrible?”
And we know that Kieran regretted it immediately, realized what he'd done, but all he wanted was to have Mark back. And he tried to help, and then he killed Iarlath after getting all that crucial information from him, because he wanted to do what was right. Make up for the mistake he made.
Yes, of course there were meant to be consequences for his actions. Yes, I don't think I would have forgiven him so quickly either, and I don't think Mark was obligated to. But for the punishment to be... death? At the hands of the court?
And Gwyn, leader of the Hunt, possibly the only father figure Kieran ever actually had, to show up at the institute, nearly begging for the shadowhunters to intervene and save him, this kid who is "not yet twenty," saying Where is your compassion?
Because truly. One recurrenr theme in TDA is compassion. We are not defined by our mistakes, just like we shouldn't make vengance our revenge our only purpose. Shadowhunters are best at their mandate when they show mercy. When they care and when they forgive and when they have compassion.
It's like lesson #1 of this entire saga. That's what makes this scene, and Gwyn as a character, so meaningful, so significant. One of my favourite scenes in the whole trilogy for real.
brother i forgot about the fuckin downworlder registry lol im not looking forward to how much that entire plotline is gonna piss me off

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible
because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person
from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating
it’s fucked up.
What is the most important step a man can take?
The next.
I think part of the pushback about this is the idea that, to “redeem” bad people, their victims must first forgive them for unforgivable acts.
This is false. No one is obligated to forgive you. You can learn from your mistakes and become the best, kindest person on earth, and the people you’ve hurt still won’t forgive you, and you’ll have to accept that. And that doesn’t mean you aren’t allowed to grow. Because we aren’t just “pure” or “sinful”, we’re complex.

Top 5 tsc ships?
YAYYYYY i love breaking my brain by taking rankings way more seriously than I should... This is my conclusion but idk if it'll ever be satisfactory lol my rankings are ever-changing.
The criteria for this ranking is that regardless of how much I love a character more than others, it is the deliciousness of the ship that I am ranking. Do they make my heart clench? Do I keep reading almost in a frenzy because I can't wait to see what they do next? Do they keep me awake at night? Have I ever had the urge to write a dissertation on them? Do they make the palms of my hands tingle? All very important questions. Whether they are canon or not, happy or miserable, still together or long parted, and whether CC completely wrecked them after book #2 *cough* herondaisy *cough*, dear deonsshlong, is irrelevant.
So, for now:
1. Malec / Blackstairs
2. Kitty
3. Herondaisy
4. Waywood
5. Herongraystairs
This was excruciating, btw. So many ships left behind because they didn't make the top 5 cut. Please know this isn't by any means a complete list of my favourite ships. There's just so freaking many of them oh my god.
CC avoiding my ask about the secret treasons... i see how it is... don't worry, I'll be waiting...
i had a question about kit - by the end of qoaad it seems like he's less resentful of ty and his choices/doesn't blame him and is more embarrassed about how he felt like he was important to ty and almost blames himself for it too, but as time has passed it seems like that anger has returned? i was wondering if that means his resentment was repressed in qoaad and has grown over time as he's processed the situation more and pinpointed exactly what has hurt him (as much as he can while avoiding it at the same time 😭) or if he's redirecting some of his insecurity and hurt into anger as a way to avoid fully coming to terms with it 🙇♀️ unless this is directly dealt with in tlkof!! (very very excited for it omgjskdks)
Keep in mind Kit isn't just mad at Ty — they are mad at each other! That said, I don't think Kit is ever really "over it" at the end of Queen of Air and Darkness. He's just in a different emotional place than he was earlier in the book.
What might look like "being less resentful" is in part resignation. Kit is to some extent resigned at the end of QoAaD; he leaves believing that's probably the end of his and Ty's story. He'll miss Ty, eventually he'll stop missing him so much, and life will move on.
The problem is... it doesn't.
His feelings for Ty don't get smaller. They don't fade into the background the way he imagined they would. So the hurt doesn't disappear either. If anything, there's something especially painful about realizing that time isn't fixing what you thought time would fix, and that doesn't make Kit less angry in the end, it makes him more angry.
So I wouldn't say Kit's anger disappeared and then came back. I'd say the hurt never really went away. As he realizes that Ty still matters to him just as much as he always did, it's only natural that some of those feelings would, as you said, "redirect some of his insecurity and hurt into anger." Love and anger are often much closer together than we'd like to admit, given that they are both intense feelings. If he'd forgiven and forgotten Ty there wouldn't be much coming back from that — he'd just be indifferent to him.
And it's not that he's just mad about being hurt. He's mad because what Ty did put Ty in terrible danger, Kit was warned about that, and he's furious that Ty didn't care about his own life as much as Kit did. I'll give you a little of what Kit thinks himself in TWP:
"That mix of hurt, fear for Ty, and anger that Kit had felt by the lake years ago had never totally faded from memory. Kit had been hurt since. Angry since. Sometimes angry and hurt at the same time, sometimes even with Jem and Tessa. He knew that breaking feeling of believing the people you loved most in the world had let you down, even in small ways, even with misunderstandings. Kit had come to Jem and Tessa a little broken, and even if they had done what they could to help put him back together, some of the sharp edges where the breaks had happened could still be weapons. And sometimes Kit had used them."

Michael Wayland and Robert Lightwood. My favorite doomed Parabatai.
Reread Lord of Shadows and couldn’t help but to notice how often Kit describes Ty through his eyes and hair specifically. Also how each time he gets a little bit more poetic with it
Like this is how we start off:
Then we get to the no-heterosexual-explanation-to-this territory
And mind you. This is him talking about his eyes and hair specifically. I didn’t include the other descriptions bc dear god. In fact, I didn’t even include all of the moments he pays attention to Ty’s eyes/hair in LoS bc there were just too many.
I had no point in this post, just wanted to let you guys know that I don’t think Kit is going to mentally survive TWP
