The Writer's Blessing:

Netflix cancelling shows isn’t the problem, actually. is it annoying? sure. but the problem is they don’t finish them

they know what’s going to be renewed and what isn’t even before it airs. they’ve likely known for months that warrior nun wasn’t getting a season 3, probably before they even gave it s2

so why not tell them? why not say s2 will be the last? why encourage the show to create a bigger cliffhanger and make him fight to have the post credit scene when you know there won’t be a next? why not give creators an opportunity to finish their creations?

15 good shows with 2-3 seasons start-finish is better than 30 fantastic shows that ended on cliffhangers after 1 season

I don’t know who told Netflix that quantity mattered more than quality —- because it doesn’t. please, i’m begging, commit to something. because in binge era tv, 1 season is not enough, but 2 might be if you tell them in advance so they can wrap it up

Alastair in ChoG: *snaps at Thomas for calling him by his first name, they are not school boys anymore*

Alastair in CoI: *apparently likes the name Thomas so much he uses it like five times per page*

On a more serious note, he only calls Thomas "Lightwood" in front of the Merry Thieves or when he's trying to mask his insecurity ("speak sense, Lightwood")

Does anyone else feel like the title of the book Lucie writes and that Jesse advises her to shorten is a massive easter egg? Or is it more than that, is it foreshadowing? You cannot convince me that "[...] the wicked powers [...]" is pure coincidence

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

Has anyone ever thought about how ironic it is that the present lines of Blackthorns possibly only exists because one of their ancestors commited necromancy? Like, we always joke about Herondales and Blackthorns engaging in necromancy, but it's quite likely that Ty and the others only exist because of Lucie's necromancy.

Whatever you do, don't imagine post-infirmary-scene Thomastair sound asleep, snuggled up in the narrow infirmary bed.

So in Learn About Loss, Jem (Brother Zachariah) inquires after Annabel Blackthorn, believing her to be an Iron Sister. This must surely mean that Malcolm will not do anything too obviously necromantic in CoT, otherwise Jem surely would have heard.

Yessss MY NAME IN A BOOK😱😱😍😍😍 I'M SO GONNA LOVE HER😍😍😍

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. 

I'm 100% sure that Will knows about Thomastair
