I'd say I'd die of embarrassment in that situation but it wouldn't really help here

The second hand embarrassment I got from Jesse reading Lucie’s self insert style fanfiction OUT LOUD in front of her! I mean good for Lucie, it lead to a love confession but that was my worst fear realised

It's so cute that the characters look at the person he loves ❤️

Alastair looks at Thomas, Thomas looks at Alastair, James looks at Cordelia, Cordelia looks at James, Matthew looks at Cordelia, Lucie looks at Cordelia, Jesse looks at Lucie, Grace looks at Christopher, Christopher looks at Grace , Ari looks at Anna and Anna looks at Ari

Wait why is Lucie looking at Cordelia instead of looking at Jesse?!?

How I saw no one talking about it and when I realized this problem, I couldn't stop thinking about it

the relationships in chain of gold and chain of thorns are a weird mix in the family tree and bordering on incest (it's not incest because they don't have the same blood)

I can give you an example :

- Lucie and Jesse who share an uncle and an aunt and three cousins ​​in common

- Christopher and Grace who are cousins ​​(adoptive)

for the last example it's not really James and Cordelia's fault but - James Herondale is married to his stepfather's cousin and his who is also the father of his half-sister

It would have been so interesting with a James who is insecure and an outcast of society + his love triangle would have been awesome with the fact that as Cordelia is an amazing warrior shadowhunter and wielding a legendary sword that everyone admires and James the pariah of society who also has demon blood

I imagine James so much when he's around Cordelia he realizes there's a rift between them which makes him a bit jealous of Cordelia and makes him even less confident and pushes him to be with Grace a strange girl but who understands him and makes him feel comfortable in her presence

It would even have been a great parallel the fact that he turns into a shadow and the fact that he lives in the shadow of all his loved ones

Matthew might even have had a romance instead of being in this love triangle

Something that’s been bothering me for a while is the way cassandra clare did a complete 180 on james as a character.

the james we were promised way back when the midnight heir and nothing but shadows came out is nothing like the james we see in the main series. and it makes me viscerally angry. james in the last hours is well…it pains me to say this because i do love him, but… until chot he’s not that interesting.

most of his struggles that were set up in the short stories magically resolved themselves before the series began, he’s no longer insecure about how different he looks compared to other shadowhunters, suddenly he’s just as quick and witty as will and matthew are, and everyone loves him and wants to marry him! when the james we were promised was a social outcast, who every day was reminded that not only is he not like his father, he is so much worse. 

james in the midnight heir is shown to be jealous of his parent’s perfect love, when he himself is suffering because he’s madly in love with grace and she just broke things off with him. we also see this hint of resentment towards will for being so “perfect”.

which shows up again in nothing but shadows, james constantly compares and is being compared to will. will is so handsome, and james is so odd looking. will is able to make everyone laugh and everyone likes him, james is awkward and often does not know how to express himself.

and we can see in the way james talks about this, that he’s annoyed at his father for making him feel like he is inadequate. and then he gets to the academy and the first thing that happens to him is all the other kids start to make fun of him for the way he looks. they keep telling him how odd he looks, like a goat. and then his powers manifest and once again he is reminded just how different he is from everyone else.

the last hours was originally pitched as a love triangle with a herondale in the middle. so when i first found this out i thought this story was finally going to challenge the godawful “herondales love but once” rule. and this would also fit into this idea that james is somehow “wrong”, he’s not extroverted and witty like his father, he has demon blood and demonic powers, which creates a wedge between him and other shadowhunters.

and on top of that, he loves two people! one of them being an amazing shadowhunter warrior from a respectable family with close connections to the herondales (cordelia). and the other not so proper, maybe kind of evil, weird daughter of a mad woman who hates herondales (grace). so the story wouldn’t only be about him choosing between two women he loves, but also about him being torn between the expectations of his family and society and his “dark side”. 

but then cassie made the gracelet and erased all of james’s problems and we ended up with yet another boring love triangle that no one asked for…

Can someone explain to me why I am debating with a person at 12:30 a.m. on the Lightwood family tree because of Christopher's death which made it illogical because as it is written in the tree that Isidore must have been born in 1908 and that Alexander was 8 years old at that time (and the Lightwoods of our time cannot be descendants of Anna and Ariadne because Alec looks like Will and must therefore be a biological descendant of Cecily)

Well it's late and my brain is asking a question and now I can't sleep without having the answer so I need your opinion for you if Emma and Cordelia would have been at the same time for you Cortana would have chosen which one two to be its carrier?

Am I the only one who would have liked to see basic characters who are in families other than The Herondales, Fairchild, Lightwood, Carstairs, Blackthorn?

I warn you, I love his families but I wanted to know more about the other Shadowhunters families because for me it could have been interesting to know more about the other families

on a bit of the same thing am I the only one who wanted to see more weapons created by Wayland the Blacksmith often used by the main characters

because the only weapon made by Wayland the Blacksmith that we have often seen used by the characters are Cortana and Phaesphoros and Heosphoros

English: Me: What is Jesse's age at the start of the last hours? My friend: I don't know but he's probably 17 because like Lucie is 16 and he's flirting with her We who go to the wiki to find out his age in the last few hours and discover that he is between 24/25 years old while Lucie is between 16/17 years old: My friend:Ok but since he died at 17 then it’s okay Me:He continued to live 7 years like a ghost so he lived 25 years but he flirts with a 16/17 year old girl

👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑

French:

Moi:Quel est l'âge de Jesse au début les dernières heures ? Mon amie:Je ne sais pas mais il a surement 17 ans comme Lucie a 16 ans et qu'il la drague Nous qui allons sur le wiki pour connaître son âge dans les dernières heures et qu'on découvre qu'il a entre 24/25 ans alors que Lucie a entre 16/17 ans : Mon amie:Ok mais comme il est mort à 17 ans, ça passe Moi:Il a continué à vivre 7 ans comme un fantôme donc il a vécu 25 ans mais il drague une fille de 16/17 ans

if Lucie and James lose their power then Tessa should also have lost her magic powers because Lucie and James' powers come from Tessa who got her powers from Belial

but hey it's just another inconsistency of the last hours in the shadowhunters universe (the last hours have so much inconsistency)

no matter how many times she explains it I don't think me and Cassandra Clare will ever be in agreement about James and Lucie losing their powers. like its just not a satisfactory explanation to me im sorry

Matthew Fairchild. My soul. My heart. My love. Eu amo você mais que todo no mundo inteiro.

I’m not worried about CoT because Emma Carstairs doesn’t know who Tatiana Blackthron is.

Petition to start calling Lucie Herondale the Ghost Queen

The full Shadowhunter family tree, as we currently know it

| Red line = romantic affiliation

| Yellow line = siblings

| Green line = parent/child relationship

| Dotted line = relationships we haven't seen happen yet but exist

| Dark grey boxes = dead characters

| Blue boxes = Immortal characters

So what is the name of the blackthorn sword?

Like Cassie said that we would find out in ChoT but i just don't remember anything about it??

If anyone knows pls do tell
