Okay, ermm can I pick more than one? I'm gonna pick more than one

Kit, Emma, Tessa, Mark, Alec, Magnus, Dru- (okay, pretty much all of them)

Z*ra Dearbitch

Okay these questions are a bit unfair! how could I chose?!

Probably Tessa (I'm lithromantic tho so my whole thing is having completely one-sided crushes 😅)

I'd like to hear your opinion on various TSC characters.

Who do you love the most?

Which character do you hate?

Whom would you like to be best friends with?

Which character would you fall in love with?

Can you actually fall in love with a fictional character?

“Besides, being the inquisitor isn't a favour or reward. It’s a service you give. It’s a way of paying back the world.”

He started to smile. “I suppose.”

She winked. “Also, I’m happy to know that if I need someone to bend the law in my favour, I will have a powerful friend.”

- Cristina and Deigo Rosales Queen of Air and Darkness Page 851

Why is everyone sleeping on the fact that Diego might be the next Inquisitor?

OKAY BUT REAL QUESTION... what is the institutes wifi name? 

Cause imagine if it starts out really basic like ‘Los Angeles institute’ obviously selected by Diana or Julian and then the Blackthorn kids try to mess with it because yes?

I see this a lot, where even characters like Julian and Alec and even Tessa and sometimes even Kit and darling Ty are reduced to ship names but these people have gone through hell and back and THEY. ARE. I N D I V I D U A L S. 

You can appreciate their ship without diminishing all the character development they've gone through themselves to get to this point. 

Mark Blackthorn deserved so much better than to be reduced to his relationship w Cristina and Kieran

Shadow Hunters: 

You're in for a long ride... 1 series...2 series...3 series...4 series...5 series...6 series and 3 huge ass novelas. Once you're in--there is no way out. But you won’t want a way out. 

Yes, we have a TV show...no it is not like the books and yes it is trash (fight me). Humour (hell yes, even when their shouldn't be...Herondales got your back making tense situations lighter since 1234 ;)  Tears, plot twists and a lot of family drama...if you can figure out which family you're from but if you can’t some immortal warlocks will probably remind you of what a prick your ancestors were (or otherwise).

Wait oh yeah and they fight demons sometimes but are usually caught up in fighting wars over their own messed up political systems. If you don’t like someone there's always someone else. A L W A Y S. The characters are endless, (you'll figure out how to keep track of them all)  but you’ll love each and everyone with whatever shards of your heart you still have left :) Think someone or something is insignificant. (think someone is dead?) HA. THINK AGAIN!

will you cry? yes. will it be worth it? A B S O L U T LY. Ships? HELL YES. Fandom ship conflict...sometimes, except over MALEC. because....no. They are untouchable.

A Newbie’s Guide to YA Literature Fandoms

So, you’ve stumbled upon this fantastic (please note my combined use of sarcasm and eager honesty) website - Tumblr.  Or, perhaps, you’re reading a screenshot of this on Instagram or Pinterest.  Whatever you’re on, it’s official.  You’re a part of the fandom.

How does one survive in a fandom?  Here’s a guide, sorted book by book… and don’t worry if you do not see your fandom yet - the list will receive future additions. 

1.  A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

Yikes.  I can’t help you.  Be prepared for lots of conflicts over characters - Do we stan Tamlin, Nesta, and Elain?  Do we ship Elriel (Elain x Azriel), Elucien (Elain x Lucien), or neither?  Don’t forget to use caution - we have a lot of ~steamy~ jokes floating around here

2.  Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

Wow, this is intense.  Personally, I am not heavily into Tumblr’s HP fandom, but I can say one thing - Non-canon ships.  We sink canon and let the best ships sail.  Drarry?  Totally.  Wolfstar?  Most definitely.  Romione?  Debatable.  Dramione?  Not as popular as Drarry, perhaps, but also debatable.  Hinny?  What’s that?  Does that exist?  What’s that, now?  I’m forgetting something important?  Oh, yeah… how do we feel about Snape?  Also, what’s your Hogwarts house?  You should know that.  Keep that very close - but don’t be afraid to blur the lines between houses.

3.  Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

What do we want?  THE CROWS TV SHOW.  When do we want it?  Now!  This may actually be the most wholesome fandom on this site.  Except, there’s one little thing… but I won’t spoil it for you.  Because.  It.  Never.  Happened.

4.  Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Turn back.  Turn back NOW.  Your heart is important.  Don’t let anyone rip it out of your chest… and NEVER.  EVER.  TRUST SOMETHING THAT SAYS “FRIENDLY REMINDER.”  There is a 95% chance that it is most definitely not friendly.  Oh yeah, there’s also a huge stockpile of pre-KOA theories…

Feel free to add more.

And of course let us not forget the golden line of  “I'm going to introduce you to a wonderful invention called Uber,”™ Kit Herondale: The bridge from the Shadowhunter world to our odd form of mundane normalcy.

God bless Cassandra Clare for finally breaking the YA “what is technology we can’t use that” trope we stan OfficeMax the skilled calligrapher

I thought this was Arthur Blackthorn and honestly...it still works...
