The Shadowhunter Chronicles - Blog Posts

i KNEW tian was going to betray them. he was being too quiet!

im just so sad that one of jems relatives is a traitor :(

why. why.

friendly reminder that Ty cried for the first time in a long time when Kit said he wishes he never met him

aaaaaaaaaa someone has GOT to write this. pls i BEG.

being a former classmate or causal friend of Clary and Simon must be so crazy. like imagine being in the middle of your undergrad and opening up Facebook to see they've both gotten engaged a few weeks apart at 21 after randomly dropping off the face of the earth in high school 😭 I know all the old group chats were alive like never before that day

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THE MEMORIESSSSSS

I see what you did there, @cassandraclare.

yall.... i was checking the my book stats for qoaad on libby (dont ask, i was bored.)

now, i havent yet borrowed the book. ive got it on reserve, ive been waiting for 2 weeks, im first in line

so i look at the stats. and idk if this is a glitch, or if ive just read the sample way too many times for it to be healthy, but...

my stats say i have read that book for 1h 5min.

1h. 5min. and ive only had access to the sample.

1h 5min of reading one or two chapters.

WHAT THE FLIP, ME???

yall. i was going through some of cc's old newsletters, and on the one of april 8th (for me, might be like 9th or 7th for yall??) last year (2024), so exactly one year ago, she was talking abt when shed get the books she was working on released. she also mentioned how itd been sold tot the publisher around october the year before that (which is when she was able to get started writing). and one thing she said was that it takes at least 1 year to write a book. its been a year since she said that.... over a year since she was able to get started....

so, in conclusion, cc is, at the very least, relatively close to finishing tlkof.

now, i saw another post point out that the tsc books have had a trend of the main ship(s) kissing in the first book (dont quote me on this, i havent checked, im just trusting the post.)

(can u see where im going with this?)

all of this together means that....

DRUMROLL PLEASE......

CHANCES ARE, KITTY AND/OR MORGENTHORN'S CANNON FIRST KISS SCENE(S) MAY ALREADY BE WRITTEN

never underestimate a herondale in love

You know what I’m really curious about? How the fuck will Jessa let Kit go with Ty?? JUST LIKE THAT??? They’ve been protecting him for years with all the wards and stuff and they will just agree to let him go for probably a crazily dangerous (for him at least) mission??? There has to be smth to it, either Kit just disappears from home or idkkkkkk

YES.

Does Kit qualify as a simp for Ty? (not in a bad way, I love simps)

I read the first sentence and i was like "wait that sounds kinda familiar-- VOLTRON???"

Wild. this is the second time ive seen these two of my fandoms overlap

kit: 10,000 years? that’s like 1,000 + 10!

ty: times 10

kit: whatever, dropout

Hate it when ppl tag smth thats from shtv as tsc in ao3 - and not "the shadowhunter chronicles - all media types", but "the shadowhunter chronicles - cassandra clare". Like, theres a distinction for a reason. i dont wanna read stuff abt shtv, i wanna read abt tsc. tag ur works correctly, pls

ok so ive continued reading and clary just told him the prophetic dream.

The fire is an X bc he needs to be stabbed again for the thingamy im abt to talk abt to be completed. its only the first stage rn - shinyun said so herself.

The chains are bc hes being controlled by sammael, like ragnor is.

He looks like a demon bc of the possession - its taking away his humanity.

Hes on a throne bc he doesnt realise hes possessed, and thinks hes happy - like ragnor, who didnt seem like he was some sort of puppet completely and stuff. like he doesnt realise smth is wrong now, w him being all happy.

So, yeah. dream analysis over!

ok, reading tlbotw and yk whats rlly sus? magnus feeling fine. like not just saying he is, but actually feeling it. cause, yk, he just got stabbed by some magical evil demon thorn sword and is now... oozing magic? regardless its weird, especially considering they have a CHILD and magnus should be tired from that, and even mentions before how max's sleep schedule does not match up w him and alec's. and on top of that, cassie mentions it multiple times.

theres this one particular time that made me go from "thats sus" to "thats RLLY sus", which is where the book goes, "“I feel fine,” he said, and realized he was telling the truth. He felt good, even, as if he’d had a full night’s sleep and a proper breakfast instead of barely any sleep and Jace’s too-strong black coffee".

Like, thats so sus. that thorn is DEFFO doing smth to magnus.

we have the whole gang now 🫶🫶

Absolutely nothing beats Valentine's parenting strategy of "this is my good son who I keep in the house and my evil son who I keep in the shed. They're both named Jonathan"

god. dont remind me

i just wanna read twp already 😭😭😭

Do you all understand that we will live with this 2nd chapter theories for another fucking year….

You don’t even know what type of a celestial being I will turn into while reading Ty’s pov for the first time, you do not know

Count the hours count the days count the years I’ll spend in that place

Predicting that in the last shadowhunter (tls? tlsh?) they close the openings/rifts/whatever that allow demons to get through. That's why its called the last sh, bc they wont need sh after that

Found this in my drafts sooo have some Thomastair on your Tuesday ☺️

@wikitpowers @mayaheronthorn @tsc-reader @helenofblackthorns

NEW KIT POV CHAPTER????? WHERE?????

this has been the inside of my head since reading the new kit pov chapter

"You really think that's such a good idea?" Kit said. "I mean, your house is pretty screwed up, what with your agoraphobia uncle and your weird brother.""

Julian's hands tightened on the wheel, but the only thing he said was, "Ty isn't weird."

"I meant Mark," said Kit. There was an odd pause. "Ty isn't weird," Kit added. "He's just autistic."

Tragic Ships Tournament Round 3

Propaganda under the cut!

Herongraystairs:

"Hey is it polyamory if you and your buddy are both in love with the same girl (and each other)? Is it polyam to die of old age and only have your wife and the guy you were platonic married to as a teenager in your final moments? Is it polyamory if you constantly bring up your wife's dead husband and make it clear you're also deeply in love with him?"

Lawrence and Adam:

No propaganda submitted however I think everyone should read this giant essay written by the submitter

"Okay so our buddy Jigsaw here, John to his friends, puts Adam and Gordon in a trap in the so-called Saw Bathroom.

Adam wakes up from unconscious in a full bathtub and gasps for air trying to get out. In doing so, he inadvertently pulled the plug. It is pitch black in the room. A voice calls out from the other side of the room.

The voice is Gordon. His name is Lawrence Gordon, he's a doctor. For a few moments his voice is all there is until Gordon turns on the light. They are both chained to metal pipes in opposite corners. They introduce themselves. There is a dead body in the middle of the room.

Neither man trusts the other. In attempts to escape, they find clues: a clock that is brand new and as such the opposite of the rest of the room; an envelope with a cassette in Adam's pockets; and a casette, a key and a bullet in Gordon's. The key opens neither man's chain.

But there is a casette player in the hand of the dead man in the middle of the room.

With some difficulty, Adam is able to reach it so that he can play his tape which detailed his crimes (as according to John) and how he will either watch himself die or do something about it. This is a poetic trap on John's part as Adam is a voyeur and is paid by various people to follow others around and takes photos on them. As for Gordon? Well, first he sends his tape to Adam to hear first before hearing it himself. His crime is that as a doctor (his name is Lawrence Gordon, he's a doctor) he spends his days telling people they're going to die, giving them their death sentence. Now he must carry out that sentence himself. He must kill Adam by 6 o'clock or Gordon's wife and daughter will die.

The dead man in the middle of the room was one of Gordon's patients.

The recording gives them several other clues and soon they find a plastic bag in the toilet with two hacksaws and a bag of photos inside. Adam throws one to Gordon and immediately begins on his own chain. The saw breaks.

In anger, Adam throws it at the mirror which smashes. Gordon realises the saws are not for the chains but for their legs. This is when they realise they've been abducted by Jigsaw. Gordon mentions that Jigsaw had previously tried to frame him for murder by leaving his penlight at the scene of one of Jigsaw's crimes. Adam grows distrustful of Gordon because that's a weird detail to mention, huh? And in a fit of panic and anger, he takes the broken mirror shard and threatens to kill our boy Gordon (Lawrence Gordon, he's a doctor) unless he explains what the hell is going on. Then he notices that the mirror is a one-way mirror. He smashes the rest of it until he's cut through the glass and they see a camera.

A camera watching their every move. Adam soon learns that the camera is protected by another pane of glass, this one shatterproof.

Gordon, bless his heart, is able to calm Adam down and he begins to tell Adam about his family. He has a wife named Alison and a daughter called Diana. Adam asks if he wants more children, Gordon replies no as he doesn't think Diana gets enough time with her parents as is.

This nice conversation is ruined when Gordon tossed Adam his wallet so Adam can look at the picture of them in his wallet. That picture isn't there; instead, there's a picture of them tied up and gagged in their apartment. Adam doesn't want to worry Gordon so he quietly pockets it and just says the photo isn't there. This photo also has a clue that leads to Adam asking Gordon to turn off the light at which point they see a glowing X and are able to get the next puzzle in the trap. (It's a very drawn out trap compared to Jigsaw's more oftenly used one and one em traps) Gordon retrieves a box with a lighter, two cigarettes, a note saying the cigarettes arent poisonous (factually untrue consideeing lung cancer but John's an engineer not a doctor) and a phone. The phone can't be used to make calls so no 911 can save these white boys right now.

Adam, who doesn't know about the note, asks for a cigarette. Gordon says no.

Gordon asks Adam how he knew to turn off the light. Adam tries to lie, like a liar, and fails, like a failure, and is forced to reveal the photo. This is how Gordon (his name is Lawrence Gordon, he's a doctor) is able to come up with his big plan. He, having figured out it was poidonous, dips one cigarette into the blood of the dead man in the middle of the room. He turns off the light again. He explains his plan to Adam.

Lights come back up, Gordon gives Adam a cigarette and a lighter. Adam takes a drag. Suddenly what? Oh no? He's dying? Never mind, he's being electric shocked through his chain because boy howdy can that boy not act.

Also, when you turn off the lights, people can't see you. They can still hear you.

Gordon points his anger at Adam for the failure of the plan though again, he did just tell Adam the plan by talking. Like that's not that secure. But the electric shock triggers something in Adam. He remembers his abduction and having no one else in the room to talk to (besides the dead body), he tells Gordon about it. Their traumas are entwining. Then the phone rings. It's Diana. She begs her dad to save them. Then the phone is given to Alison who tells Gordon that he can't trust Adam and that they've known each other for a long time. Gordon confronts Adam. Adam admits that he's known who Gordon was for a few days. He'd been paid to follow Gordon around and take photos of what he was doing. Adam shows him the photos. Which photos, you ask? The ones in that bag that were in the plastic bag in the toilet. I'm sure you've forgotten about them now. They argue and Adam admits he followed Gordon to a hotel where Gordon was meeting up with one of his students, Carla. They were about to start an affair. Adam knows about this. As does John. That's the real reason Gordon is in this trap. A Welcome Home Cheater sign? No, no. This one gets the Saw Bathroom.

Convinced that whoever hired Adam must be Jigsaw, Gordon presses him on it. Adam relents. It's not Jigsaw. It's a detective who's convinced Gordon is Jigsaw.

They fall silent again. They figure out one of Jigsaw's henchmen is a guy called Zep who's an orderly at the hospital. The time runs out. The phone rings again. It's Alison! She's broken free! They're saved! Gunshots. Diana screams. Gordon cries. The chain electric shocks Gordon into unconsciousness. Adam immediately tries to wake him up, terrified Gordon is dead. He's not. But he's broken down. And when he was being electrocuted, he'd chucked the phone out of reach. Out of all other options, Gordon (his name is Lawrence Gordon, he's a doctor) uses his shirt to stanch his leg and begins to cut his foot off. Adam begs him not to and to just calm down, but Gordon's too far gone. When the deed is done (which you don't see in the film by the way, the first Saw was very tame when it came to gore surprisingly enough), he crawls to the dead body in the room and takes the gun out of the man's hand. He loads the gun with the one bullet he has. He shoots Adam. Adam falls back like he's in Looney Tunes. Gordon screams at the camera and begs them to save his family. And then Zep comes in. He was the one holding Gordon's family hostage. Gordon tries to shoot him. Gordon had one bullet in his gun. His shots are unsurprisingly ineffective. Zep is unimpressed with this. It is just a rapidly paling man missing a foot shooting an empty gun like he's in a water pistol battle in a county undergoing a drought. He decides to kill Gordon as he didn't kill Adam by 6 o'clock. And Zep is from the county over and has plenty of water to spare. He aims his gun at Gordon.

But he forgot about Adam. Like a Bugs Bunny reborn, Adam comes in from behind with the toilet tank lid. In his fear and pain and anger, he beats Zep over and over and over with the lid until Gordon is able to calm him down. They stare at each other like sad gay men. Gordon tells Adam that if he doesn't get out, he'll bleed to death here. Adam begs him to stay. Gordon promises to come back for him. Adam begs him not to leave him. Gordon crawls out the room. Adam is left alone, a bullet in his shoulder and his heart crawling away. He's all alone. Apart from John Kramer. He was the dead body in the middle of the room this whole time. He stands up. He tells Adam that the key to his chain was in the bathtub. The one that Adam had accidentally pulled the plug out of. He leaves the room. Game over.

Adam will die in this room. It was always going to end like this. One of them was going to die in that room. If Adam lives, Gordon must die. If Gordon lives, he must kill Adam. There is no way in the world for these two to survive, not together. There was always going to be a dead body in that bathroom."

literally any tsc character

He's a 10 but he has daddy issues

AMEN

I think we as a society should be obsessed with the shadowhunters books again

rip will herondale you would’ve loved polyamory and gay marriage
