YES.

last life tangos character is very very very underrated and no one else seems to get that.

[Day 175]

Just practice doodles and test designs tdy (that still took too long) for no reason in particular mhm

everyone panicking over Cassandra Clare saying a character we met in the first three tmi books will die in the first twp book 😭 which is understandable but I felt like we should keep in mind the book is literally called The Last King of Faerie and we first were introduced to the Seelie Queen in City of Ashes.... like shes kinda doomed it has to be her I fear

And the fact that it was Scar and Pearl as the final two.

Scar, who spent the whole of Secret Life alone, trying desperately to make allies but thwarted by the larger narrative. Who was over and over assigned the role as the villain and eventually gave in to the title. Who, throughout the whole series, was having to consciously put effort into not becoming completely unhinged. Who won despite the entirety of the server targeting at one point or another managed to pull through and claim the win.

Pearl, whose entire Double Life series was spent completely alone after Scott rejected her, with only Tilly for company. Who caused fear in her server mates for being "crazy" and "villainous" and "unhinged" when all she wanted was to make friends. Who tried time and time again to get close to people, only to learn she was better off being alone in a series dedicated to teaming up with your soulmate, and winning because of his sacrifice.

Do you think Pearl remembered it, when she told Scar to kill her for her hearts? Do you think it hurt her to hear him refuse her sacrifice, or do you think she was proud that at least this time, no one would be sacrificed for the victor's sake?

Do you think when they fought, in the fairest possible fight there could have been, Scar remembered another fair duel between the final two players? Do you think that when his old soulmate told him Pearl was dead, and that he'd won, he remembered a supposed double victory, and how quickly it had crumbled? Do you think he was happy to finally be on the other side of it?

When ur trying to write a fic and then you start writing a whole nother fic

Yeah. fun.

Predictions for twp: (this is basically just me manifesting, some random theories, and the occasional actual prediction)

Kit gives Jessa a heart attack (this ones a given)

kitty horrendously, hopelessly, completely and utterly fail to communicate for majority of the first book

dru forgets ash exists. again. x2.

kitty kiss in first book (pLEASE-)

morgenthorn kiss in first book (...am i pushing it a bit?)

...herongraystairs??? (pleasepleaseplease)

Thule!Ty (i saw this cool post abt thule being a 'cracked mirror' of the og world, so livvy mightve tried to revive ty instead of vice versa?), OR

Lucifer somehow possesses Ty (honestly considering the dream this seems more and more likely...)

In relation to that, maybe ty reviving (reghosting?? re-kinda-viving?) livvy opened up a way for lucifer to enter their world, or possess ty? maybe it left him 'unprotected', maybe it made a tear in the divide between worlds, smth like that (based on this)

Too many serious ones, time for some sillies: clace and/or sizzy wedding (this ones more 'light-hearted' than 'silly', but eh)

alec is completely done. hes so over it. sick of their bs.

magnus is also done w the sh's bs, like he is in every book, and like in every book he contradicts his most recent claim that he will not deal with whatevers next and helps. and then says again that hell leave them to deal with whatevers next themselves. which he will definitely not do.

Magnus shows up (again) (guaranteed) (true main character tbh) (hes shown up in every. single. book. yes, even the companion books) (cant complain tho <333)

This post. ive gotta include it. its a pattern by now, and theyre gonna be in faerie, sooo....

kitty angry first kiss. imagine. like, "u hate me, you dont love me back!" "ffs i do!" *smooshes faces together* (can yall tell im tired??? im going craaazyyyyy)

ohh yeah and... ash and jamie rivalry-ish, except its a bit one-sided and ash is deffo more determined than jamie

cc is gonna leave us on a cliffhanger for one duo and then switch to the other. from morgenthorn to kitty to morgenthorn to kitty again and again at the most inopportune moments. well b on the edge of our seats the entire time istg

I... think thats it??? anyways stay tuned for the part two thats probs coming

“we have to stop straight men from playing gay characters” AND KILL FITMC???????

i think we deserved to see more of nico and bianca as siblings. like im talking 3am in the hades cabin, theyre arguing and hitting eachother over what cheeto flavor is the best. they have eachother as babies as their lock screens. they learn what escalators are together. nico appearing at the foot of bianca’s bed “i frew up☹️.” theyre laughing hysterically in a quiet room to the point they cant breathe. theyre gossiping in italian while walking out of school. theyre filming stupid tiktoks together. nico cheered the loudest at bianca’s graduation and vice versa. they swore they were never going to speak to eachother again after disagreeing over what voltron character is the best but broke after two seconds. “will, if you want to date nico, you’ll have to get the sister’s blessing first.” just. theyre siblings ok.

yall, quick. whos read paradise lost (and biblical mythology?). we need 'em here stat

Okay, I’m just ridiculously curious about if/how you’re going to portray Lucifer in the upcoming TSC books, and I’m wondering if you can give us any info, snippets, anything about him and/or the other Princes of Hell. It’s probably too spoilery, and probably too early, for much of anything, but I’m really fascinated with how you’ve incorporated the Princes of Hell into the TSC world, as well as the other dimensions. I’d just love to know more. Thank you! Hope you’re doing well! ♥️

Hmmm. I don't think I can say specifically, but I can say that TWP is something of a return to the biblical/demonic mythos of The Mortal Instruments. A lot of what happens turns on various pieces of biblical mythology (since we're dealing with Lucifer!) and references to Paradise Lost/Dante.
