Ty Blackthorn, Sherlock Holmes, and Shakespeare

This scene seems to come from my worst nightmares, yet I reread it at least twice a month.

"I don't want to be a burden anymore", your hat answers. "You are always carrying me around, and I can't carry you. That's not fair."

"I don't mind carrying you, little idiot", you tell your hat, "you hardly weight anything at all, and you shelter me from the sun."

"But that's different", your hat protests. "I don't mind the sun scorching on me. That happens anyway. It's literally no trouble for me to shade you too."

I was curious about why the stakes for necromancy seem so much higher for Ty and Livvy as compared to all the other examples we’ve seen in the series so far? Aside from Jace’s resurrection, there don’t seem to be any world-altering consequences for, say, Jesse’s resurrection or even Annabel’s. Lucie also faced pretty much no consequences for resurrecting Jesse, meanwhile Ty is met with shock and anger and other varying negative emotions from anyone who learns about his necromancy, particularly Ragnor and Magnus. Is there a particular reason, like the mode of necromancy in this case?

I’m looking forward to the release of tlkof!! 🥰🥰🥰

Jace, being literally resurrected by God, is definitely not a situation where anyone would call it "necromancy." :)

Jesse wasn't really dead, and Lucie used her own power, not demonic/evil magic, so I wouldn't call that necromancy either; therefore it doesn't carry the negative repercussions necromancy does. It's a unique unrepeatable situation.

Malcolm was despised by everyone for the necromancy he performed, and also Annabel murdered him for doing it so I'd say those are bad consequences! We also don't ever see how it would have gone for him had Annabel and Malcolm remained alive for many more years but it would only have grown more destructive.

The kind of necromancy Ty did is going to have very bad results, not just for the world but for him. Ragnor and Magnus are correct to be angry/upset because Ty has put himself directly at terrible risk, it's not just a moral question — it's something that could kill people, including him. We are years along in the results of the necromancy in TLKOF so we'll see that firsthand.

When you say “one question/Ask each” is that per time it’s open, per “era” (aka until TWP is released), or ever?

(This isn’t a bit, I swear, I’m just genuinely Like That)

Do you know what i mean?

I think we're going to have like 5 scenes in his pov but reading those we'll be like
