Maybe They Really Just Went With The Whole Easter Vibe??

If Chain of Thorns doesn’t end with:

Lucie and Jesse engagement

Cordelia and James honeymoon to Constantinople

Thomas kissing Alastair in front of everyone at a party

Ariadne and Anna finally dancing together

Grace and Christopher working on science-y stuff together

and Matthew drinking water

imma riot

Also consider that Alastair has a very dry/sarcastic/cynic sense of humour and that he tends to be a little bit dramatic. I would not expect Thomas to say that he's dying when he is "only" heavily injured because that just doesn't match his personality, but Alastair?

When, however, did Cassie share the snippet? Could it be something that belonged to another book/trilogy and was cut out?

okay so, do y’all remember that one thing that cassie shared with us, that death scene of one of the members of a shadowhunter chronicles gay couple? i don’t remember it word for word, but it goes something like this:

“funny, all that trouble to convince me that you didn’t love me, and here i am, dying in your arms”

the person that is dying then proceeds to kiss each and every one of the others fingers, their last

here’s my theory: it’s thomastair. thomas lightwood dying specifically

now i’m sorry about this, but it makes sense.

hear me out:

1. thomastair still isn’t completely canon, and alastair is spending an awful lot of time trying to convince thomas he doesn’t love him, because he thinks that’s best for both of them

i know that’s flimsy evidence but keep reading

2. if you check the shadowhunters family tree, we see that the rest of the carstairs family are descendants of alastair. i’ve seen a theory similar to this that says alastair dies, but if he does, that’s the end of the other side of the carstairs line aside from jem, and we all know alastair has to have descendants, because emma exists. it could be baby carstairs, but we don’t know that for sure

3. if you also check the family tree, it shows that thomas doesn’t end up with anyone officially. which means either he stayed single or he’s dead. and considering alastair ended up with someone else, it is more likely that thomas is dead than with someone else.

4. finally, thomas’s name is sort of foreshadowing in itself. he’s named after thomas, the mundane that worked for the london institute during tessa will and jem’s story. our past thomas died, and i think this foreshadowing might hint to our thomas dying

so, yeah just had to get that off my chest because it was causing me major anxiety.

feel free to prove me wrong! actually please prove me wrong i don’t want thomas to die :(

but please reference this post if i’m right

Paris really is the Thomastair city. Why were they locked in the sanctuary in the first place? Because the Mortal Sword was in Paris.

Iconic.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four

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”

like

listen

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.

THE FORESHADOWING!!!

Pierre Curie died young, she outlived him by several decades.

My heart 💔

Christopher and Grace did end up collaborating like the Curies and revolutionizing communication for shadowhunters

Blood loss? No I know exactly where it is
