I Am Absolutely Certain That Simon Was The Captain Of His School’s Debate Team. I Know A Podium Hates

Always mourning the lack of content for the tales from the shadowhunter academy gang.

No one loves them like I do

I love this so much

Carstairs-Gray family Headcanons!

They’re all super close and enjoy spending time together

Kit practically WORSHIPS Tessa

Jem spends a lot of his free time just singing, because his lungs are finally able to support all that air

He sings beautifully, which made Kit make so many remarks on how Mina will inherit his singing voice, which she does not

She does have an incredible voice, but it’s nothing like Jem’s; it’s Tessa’s, but they don’t know that because she never sings

Jem keeps denying Mina’s physical similarity to him, on the account of “she’s so beautiful, who could she POSSIBLY look like besides Tessa?”

Kit picks up painting, and since his bedroom window faces the garden, it’s perfect inspiration

Kit introduces Jem to rock and metal, and to everyone’s surprise, he loves it

Mina is besties (and eventually Parabatai) with Clace’s future kid, creating the next Carstairs-Herondale duo

Kit secretly learns Mandarin to surprise Jem, but he sucks at keeping it secret so Jem has to pretend to be surprised

Kit still has no idea he knew

The moment Jem and Tessa realize that Kit was deprived of love as a child, they shower him with love and do their best to give him the childhood he never had

A part of that is Tessa reading to him and Mina before bed (‘The Beautiful Cordelia’ anyone?)

The first time Kit calls Jem ‘Dad’, he cries

Tessa doesn’t cry when he calls her ‘Mum’, but she comes very close to it

Jem teaches Kit how to play the piano, because Kit thinks the violin is too hard (he’s right)

Mina, however, LOVES the violin

Kit buys her a violin of her own for one Christmas, and he manages to do so without complaining about the prices

Jem is a surprisingly good cook

Tessa is not

Always a good day when Clary and Jace show up

Mina has a period where she tries to learn every language she can; Mandarin from Jem, Welsh from Will’s ghost (because obviously he’s there), Indonesian and Spanish from Magnus, Hebrew from Simon

Simon loves hanging out at their place because of all the books Tessa has

Kit takes Jem to a ‘Sabaton’ concert once, and manages to convince him that ear protection won’t stop him from hearing the music

Jem enjoys every second of it, and also enjoys not having any damage done to his hearing

Mina loves climbing trees

She chooses to fight with a spear, and not even she is sure why, but she enjoys it

She also gets really, really good at it

Jem tends to tell her ‘use your voice. Sing, scream, talk, lecture. Because you might not always have it.’ And she takes him seriously and never hesitates to speak her mind

She’s the flower girl when Kit and Ty inevitably get married

Jem gets introduced to cars, and is absolutely terrified of them despite Tessa being an excellent driver

Kit tries not to laugh at him for it, but kinda fails

Jem doesn’t mind

Kit wants to study abroad, but Tessa doesn’t allow it

He goes to a university in London instead

Feel free to add more!

Simon's mom's an alcoholic. Not a good thing, but I'm overcome with feels about Climon and the Fray family helping him and Rebecca cope. Headcannons, pleaaaase??

Oh my gosh, yes! So many. I see Elaine as what you might consider a functional alcoholic, at least at first. She drank to sleep, to forget. It was cheaper than sleeping pills, and with none of the side effects she didn’t like. It didn’t interfere with her work, usually, and she honestly thought Rebecca and Simon didn’t notice. Besides… it helped her cope. 

Being a single mom with a full time job was hard, watching her husband die in  front of her was harder. Drugs were a big no in their little community, her parents would have killed her, but a bit of drinking at night was acceptable, as long as it wasn’t on a holy day or anything. She moved on from a few glasses of wine to dry martinis in the evening, to settle her brain so she could get Simon and Rebecca down, to drinking mid afternoon to handle her headaches so she could get through work. It made her sloppy, she knew it, but she didn’t drive, she made sure her kids were taken care of, surely it was fine?

I love the idea that Simon just has really horrendous posture and it rectifies itself after he ascends. Like, Jace is a solid inch taller until Simon stands up straight and they’re the same height. Jace absolutely stands on his tippy toes whenever people ask them to compare height, and pouts when he gets called out for it.

I known canonically Jace is taller than Simon. But picture this. Simon being exactly two inches taller than Jace. But it only happened after Simon ascended. Jace is still pissed about it. Simon is all smug but without actually pointing it. Jace starts styling his hair with some spikes, he is so not letting Simon win., Etc.

Name a more iconic duo than a twink

And a redhead!!

Okay but Jace and Simon’s friendship is literally so iconic?? They go from the enemies to awkward allies to begrudging friends. And then Simon loses his memory and you think that’s that but then he somehow gets it in his head that he and Jace are best bros and now they’re just hanging out and being buddies and hugging all the time?? It’s like their entire friendship is based on a misunderstanding but it’s totally not, we know they love each other but who knows how much longer it would have taken them to admit they love each other if amnesiac Simon didn’t just decide they were bffs all the sudden. Anyway I love their dynamic, unparalleled really

Let’s admit, Jace and Simon are the best duo in tmi😭

Simon and Izzy please

Give me 6 The Shadowhunter Chronicles ships to make a fanart of

We have the first winner: Malec/Magnus Bane and Alec Lightwood

Honestly I knew they’ll be the first one to win but Jemma/Blackstairs was pretty close too! In fact Malec only won by 1.

But let’s be honest, which one of us doesn’t love a good Malec fanart sigh

Now we are in for round 2!

Rules if you wanna vote for your fav ship to get on it next:

-comment or reblog with your suggestion

-it doesn’t have to be canon but if you’re being weird about it (incest, pedophilia etc.) you’re getting blocked and ofc it doesn’t count as a vote

-only ships with book characters from any book. I’ve never watched the show and don’t plan on it and I won’t draw anyone from there <3

-have fun and be nice to others!!
