Rereading The Last Hours (chronologically) before Chain of Thorns comes out

Hi!

I’m witchlightdreams and I’m planning to reread the entirety of The Last hours including online extras and side stories in other companion books of the Shadowhunter and I made a plan so everyone can join me. 💜

The Shadowhunter wiki has a very concise timeline of the stories, but it doesn’t include the online Extras and snippets that aren’t canon. So I put together a longer list that has all extras (excluding a few super short snippets) together. This is probably not for people who read TLH for the first time though, since a few of the short stories and extras contain spoilers.

I already asked people if they would be interested in a book club to reread TLH and I got much positive feedback. I thought long about how to achieve a communal book club so I had the idea of just making a hashtag that hasn’t been used yet to share our thoughts on the current chapter, post art, etc. What do you guys think of #TLH reread challenge?

I’ve made a plan in which order I will read the The Last hours again before the big finale and everyday I will post something about the reading section of the day, life-blog about my thoughts while reading, post art and reblog other stuff from the hashtag, so if you want to keep up-to-date and join the book club, you can either follow this blog or the hashtag or just DM me if you want to join the book club but don’t want to post yourself. I would be very interested to read this communally, so if you want to read at the same time as me, please use the tag or tell me directly. Of course you can also join later or skip the extras at the beginning entirely.

Of course no one has to follow my recommended plan, you should always read in your own time and find joy in reading. I just made this for myself and everyone who wants to read parallel with me. I’m trying to keep every daily section under 50 pages and always between 25-45 pages, but in the beginning it might not be possible, especially with the extra stories, since they don’t have page numbers and because short stories are usually longer than chapters.

If you want resources where to find the extra stories, I made a second post for that and tagged it with our book club tag.

In case you don’t own the companion books or don’t want to read the short stories because they’re too long, that’s not a problem! The Shadowhunter wiki has a good summary of those so you don’t have knowledge gaps!

Happy reading!

🌹Chain of Thorns🌹

If we enjoy this book club I will continue the challenge for Chain of Thorns, but since we don’t know the chapters and their length yet, I can’t plan this yet.

Thanks bro, good to know.

Tatiana is an anti-vaxxer. I just know it in my heart. 

Thetis said so.

God I love this design for Pavitr, it's so much better than that bland ass design from the comics.

ATSV giving me the desi rep I wanted.

Gonna reblog this so you can see more notes. This post needs them.

Anyway, sarees are a cultural garment of South Asia and have nothing to do with religion. If you aren't Desi then don't wear them unless you're among us. As in actually in South Asia, or visiting or living among a South Asian diaspora community, at a Desi cultural event or religious space, or any instance where a Desi person invites you to wear them. Those cases are simply cultural assimilation, which is a mark of respect, so you're very welcome. Some Desi people might be uncomfortable with it if you're wearing it as a cultural showcase, like a Bollywood dance on stage, and they're allowed to be. It goes without saying that this also applies to lehenga and shalwar kameez, although those are widespread in Middle Eastern culture as well, so those dress rules can be extended to those spaces in the same way.

Cultural appropriation is primarily an immigrant and diaspora minority issue. Not that it doesn't impact the people living in our native countries, but its effects are felt first and foremost by the ones who actually have to integrate into white society.

Do buy sarees from South Asian designers and sellers, if you have appropriate events where other people will also be wearing them. That's cultural patronage. Make your own dresses out of the saree cloth. That's cultural exchange.

And if you're confused about what a white person is, it's a white-skinned person of European origin. Not whether someone is pale or tan. Hope that helps. 🌸🌸🌸🤗

White people please reblog. Thank you.

Hi.

I've noticed a few blogs following me, that haven't posted or reblogged anything. If you're a lurk account pls comment on this post within 24 hours or I'll assume you are a bot

To be specific, it's everywherefilm38 and powerfuljump28. This post is for you.

This is only for blogs who haven't posted anything or reblogged anything at all. Others, feel free to have discussions with me or just enjoy whatever comes up here.

Here it is.

I plan to draw Kamala Joshi in a Nauvari sari. I feel it would suit her and hope @cassandraclare can include this in her story or maybe @cassandrajp can also draw her in this attire. I was born and raised in Mumbai so I’m very excited at the prospect of my city being included in a series I love. The Nauvari ( Nine yards of fabric) is also referred to as the Kaashta or Lugade. It is a traditional sari of the state of Maharashtra and Mumbai is the state capital. Unlike other sarees, the Nauvari is built to mirror the traditional trousers that men wore and is made to be comfortable and easy to move in. It was also the staple of the Maratha clan of fighters, which was a clan that rivalled the Mughals in power and firmly established guerrila warfare training in their soldiers. 

He's mystifying. I aspire to be him.

viktor arcane has to be one of the characters ever.

he's gay. he's terminally ill. he's suicidal. he's from league of legends. he's in a toxic relationship with an orb. he also might be the orb(???). he bullshitted his way into the academy by pretending he went there. he rizzed up a guy so he wouldn't kill himself. he then tried to impress said guy by breaking into his boss's lab. then when he got caught he tried to play it off by saying he thought this big intimidating door was his bedroom door and he was just trying to sneak a guy in there. he nearly died because hetero sex was happening like a mile away. kinda. he took illegal drugs. he's also the apprentice of the guy who's making the illegal drugs and never mentions it. he's inspired off of the tale of frankenstein's monster. he got shot by a missle and fucking died. when he came back to life he immediately broke up his messy gay situationship and became jesus fucking christ.

truly one of the characters of all time

All the fans of "The remarried empress"

what’s the opposite of “i ship it”? i don’t mean anti-shipping i mean more along the lines of “this couple got together in canon and i want front rows seats to their future bloody bloody divorce“
