"oh I Really Love Xyz Character-" Really? Outside The Context Of Shipping?

One thing that I’d love to see more of is the dynamic between Simon and Catarina. She said he reminds her of her son?? And Simon is severely lacking in a stable mother figure??? I wish we got to see him from her perspective. Their relationship was my absolute favourite thing from tftsa, I want more.

Simon coded

Nobody:

Simon biting Jace and Alec in TMI:

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!

anyway i just think that if simon dove into fantasy worlds as a way to cope with the grief and heaviness after his father died, and followed clary so readily into a real-life fantasy world in part because of his affinity for them, and then forgot about the reality he found among the fantastical, and then was reintroduced and found a new family that he established formative memories with only to lose one of those new cornerstone members of his life just as he's claiming the fantasy world as his own.. where is he to go from there. he can't escape back into reality when the reality of grief has caught up with him, here in this world so like the ones he'd learned to hide in as a kid.

the way i don't see enough kit x simon brotp posts.

like they gang up on jace?? they watch starwars together and completely geek out together?? simon takes kit to his band's concerts?? simon teaches kit how to play the guitar?? simon is especially overprotective of kit because he knows what it's like to be new to being a shadowhunter and how hard it can be?? kit can open up to simon about his "uNrEqUiTed LoVe" situation and simon's been there so he can talk to him??

that's all i had to say.

Name a more iconic duo than a twink

And a redhead!!

More excited for this than anything tbh

heyyyy so happy for twp news finally after having religiously followed the shadowverse since i first read mortal instruments as a 13 year old I AM PSYCHED to see how it all ties up together

my question is how much of the mortal instruments gang will i get to see in twp?!! (pls keep the 6 alive and happy plsplspls thank you bye)

Well, you know I never promise anything about aliveness and happiness, but you will see them all. One of the first things that happens in Last King is that Dru and Thais travel to New York to see Simon's band at Pandemonium (and everyone is there — Jace, Clary, Simon, Isabelle, Magnus, Alec...)

we have the whole gang now 🫶🫶

Kit: So you became a vampire, and then a Daylighter, and then back to a mundane, and now a Shadowhunter?

Simon: Yep

Simon: Before all that, I spent a few hours turned into a rat. Was a weird day, but well, it was an experience.

Kit: THAT'S SO COOL, YOU'RE SO COOL

Jace: SAY WHAT NOW
