Okay but what if schoolboy Thomas didn’t fall for Alastair despite him being a dick and Thomas being like but I see greater depths in him
What if sickly babied his whole life Thomas took one look at Alastair and went FINALLY someone who isn’t going to treat me like I’m going to keel over and die if they don’t treat me with extreme kid gloves every second of the day
Like sure when he got all super focused on him and noticed that Alastair seemed like he was really sad and lonely and had greater depths that added to it
But even his sisters and friends were his stand in parents and babying him and trying to coddle him and protect him from anyone mean and anything that might hurt him and his friends that were all younger than him all acted like they were older and responsible for him (even though Thomas was held back and started school late with them) and all of his parents’ friends were the same and can you imagine how sick of being coddled he must have been?
Hot take, Thomas’s interest in Alastair originated with in a twisted way Alastair being the first person to treat him like a real person and not a little boy made of glass
And Alastair not wanting to let him go off on his own and get murdered but letting him go out on patrol on his own and keeping an eye on him in case he needed to join the fight at his side instead of pulling him out of it just like Thomas was any other shadowhunter out on patrol without a partner instead of seeing him as still that sick little boy and stopping him from trying at all like everyone else did because of it was just an added layer to the initial reason Thomas fell for him, even before Alastair had done anything to deserve his attention and affection
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.
patiently waiting for cassie to annoynce the shot story collection is called "after hours" and it will follow matthew and the gang's life after chain of thorns.
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.

Headcanon that Gaby and Illya sometimes engage in car races against each other in between missions, just for fun and the kicks. They’re pretty evenly matched in their skills, which keeps the races interesting. Napoleon usually prefers to watch from the sidelines.

seriously I had some little TikTok teenybopper burst out laughing on my tour because I said that a historical figure was “most likely what we’d now call gay”

you’re free to take a ouija board out to the cemetery and try to explain the dizzying array of current queer terms and get a solid answer as to how he identifies within that framework but
until then, I’m going to continue NOT definitively assigning someone identity terms they didn’t self-identify with, and might not have even known, when I’m responsible for representing them faithfully and they’re not here to correct me. even more so when they’re part of my own community
I mean, you know, as long as that’s okay with you. Bestie.
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
