The Owner Of This Blog Has Too Many Feelings For Fictional Characters.

I hate how the best series get cancelled. Like those series had me binge watching the hell out of them. My thoughts would be on them the whole day and yes they get cancelled after the first season.

Mentions : Mixte 1963, My Lady Jane, Deadly Class

so. um. the good news is we found your boyfriend. the bad news is that, well, we sort of…dug him up…in the middle of a car park. in leicester (buckley et al. 2013). leicester, yeah. sorry. they demolished the friary he was hastily interred in when henry viii dissolved all the monasteries. you know how it is. and as it turns out, well, shakespeare was…sort of right about him. scoliosis, yeah, sorry (appleby et al. 2014). if it makes you feel any better we analysed his bones and it turns out he had a pretty high-protein diet before he died (lamb et al. 2014). and he drank so much wine that it changed their chemical composition, which we didn't know could actually happen before we analysed him (lamb et al. 2014), so he was having a good time, at least.

TDA - TLH parallels:

Mark glared. "She [Cristina] is nothing like me."

"You don't have to be like someone to love them," said Emma.

- Lord of Shadows

"I am nothing like you, Thomas," said Alastair.

- Chain of Iron

Basically, Alastair asking Thomas to move in is the equivalent of a marriage proposal (at this point I'm not sure about gay marriage in the Edwardian shadowhunter community, but I assume it was not yet a possibility).

Also, only Alastair could make such a proposal and then need thorough convincing that Tom wants the same, which is really heartbreaking.

Anyway, I need that full scene ASAP

Cast Long Shadows:

"You do not know what he [Alastair] said to me the day we were expelled."

Tom shrugged. "Some nonsense, I expect. He always speaks the most shocking nonsense when he is overset. You shouldn't listen to him."

A couple of lines later: "Oh well," said Tom. "I like his nonsense." He looked wistful. "I think Alastair masks his pain with cleverly turned phrases."

Can we talk about how Thomas knew Alastair extremely well, even back then? And how Matthew could have saved himself (and Thomastair) a lot of drama if he had just listened to Thomas? Now I just want a novella with each conversation in which Thomas got to know Alastair so well.

I also hope that Tom will remember his own advice in CoT... Not that I want him to stop listening to Alastair

Did you know that James' last name in the German original is Pimplebottom?😂😂

It’s always awesome to see Charlotte looking pissed, but this photo goes supernova with the amazing prissy Pympoole-Botham sighting in the back. Shine on, you crazy diamond!

Robert is such an underrated character

y'all are sleeping on Lady Audley's Secret. this is some peak Victorian Gay Shit™.

Yes, my name is Annika!!!

Here are the responses I got for the name of Henri’s little sister! So all of the submissions are at the very top, and I made a word cloud. The bigger names are the ones that was submitted the most times. If the choice was made solely on how many people wanted it, then Annika Jaakoppi would win :)

P.S. I now understand why @partylikeawordstar was overwhelmed. 

Do you think CC will rewrite the CP2 epilogue after TLH finishes given that some things after Chog already don't match up? Like Barbara being present

She might change some things for when they order a new reprint. Different editions already have different people appearing in the epilogue. My best friend’s version doesn’t have Lucie in it but mine does, for example...
