Question about Clary’s stele

I’m currently reading City of Glass and in some point Clary loses her stele in the lake but never got it back. But later in the book, she magically takes one out from her pocket. Where did that one came from?

Shadowhunters series comeback?

I can’t be the only one that has seen the comment on Dom Sherwood’s newest post on IG.

I know a lot of people has been wanting another season, so what if there may be one in the works? It’s kinda like they have been giving us hints.

TIL about Lucie Herondale’s name backstory

Never realized that one of the main character of Will and Tessa’s favourite books (A Tale of Two Cities) is named Lucie.. I always wondered why it was spelled like that and now we know they’re that couple that name their kids after book characters they like! My heart

I’m so confused right now

So at the beginning of the show, Jace says he was raised by Valentine (pretending to be Michael (?)) Later, Sebastian/Jonathan is telling Valentine, “Remember my eighth birthday…” 1. How was Valentine raising Jace and Jonathan at the same time ??? 2. I thought Jonathan died in a house fire as a baby …? Was any of this clarified?

NYC Shadowhunter Tourist Things

Hello!

I know there's a lot of places in London that people visit that are featured in TID, but is there anywhere in NYC worth visiting in relation to TMI? I am going there in spring for work and thought I would play Tourist.

[TWP survival game] Simon was killed from the OG gang. Who would you kill (choose one)? Day 2 - The pride parade!!

In light of the ominous and foreboding titles of the upcoming The Wicked Powers series, one might assume there might be a lot of death happening.

What if you can choose who would die in the upcoming series? This is a game where you nominate and vote for the one character you choose to kill (and you have to choose one)?

There are 9 categories in total, titles in the picture, with 3 - 5 characters to choose from for each category. There may be repeated characters.

Disclaimer: this game is purely for fun and not meant to be taken seriously. Obviously we are not Cassie and can’t know what’s gonna happen, so don’t get upset if your favourite characters get voted out.

Have fun and get voting!!!!

Are there any stories...

Where Alec and the female OC are best friends or even parabatai? Because I don't need to read a romance, I want Alec having a soft spot for someone who he fights shoulder to shoulder with, someone he can not get angry at, and someone he jumps in front of a blade for. But not Jace.

Give unofficial motto's for the Shadowhunter families.

Herondales : "When shit hits the fan, it's probably a Herondale flinging it"

" Family of sounds forbidden but actually vanilla love interests "

" If you don't know their surname, it's probably a Herondale "

" God loves all her children equally, there's the Herondales , looks at smudged letters on palm farchilds, whylands, cowstares, bluehorns and uh squints light worms?"

" Dramatic in black since the dawn of shadow hunting"

Light***worm***wood : " Family of actually forbidden and unorthodox love interests "

" Divided in dimorphism where the females are all badasses and the males are all awkward asses "

" we have never meant well, it's either Vive la révolution or terrorism. No in between"

" The Carstairs might owe the Herondales but the Herondales owe us because we drop off like flies when we share a time zone with them"

" No three light wood siblings can be alive at the same time "

Blackthorns : " raising our dead family members since 1879 "

" who says death has to be the final sleep, just wake them up with some nifty necromancy"

" learned our lesson almost going extinct in the Victorian era and started following Darwin's theory of evolution down to the letter"

"Necrophilia is ok if the dead person you raised is sexy ;) "

" A bad no law is no law, except I plan on following zero laws regardless "

Lovelace : " Shadow hunting is so last week, that's why we switched to programming instead "

" yeah shadow hunting's cool, but have you tried farming? "

" Miss me with that shadow hunting shit"

***Come-and-stare***Carstairs : " we owe the Herondales because of some obscure reason one of our ancestors had back in the era of parasols and top hats "

" Live , laugh , languish (in love )"

" By the power of Cortana, I HAVE THE POWER "

" discreet in the streets and a freak in the sheets "

"The law is the law, unless it gets in my way "

Should I read After the Bridge?

I just finished Clockwork Princess and have already read the TMI books. Is it worth it to read the short story? Personally, I enjoy Tessa and Will together much more than her and Jem. Opinions? Should I also read “On the Bridge”? Lmk!!

I've had this thought boucing around in my mind for a while, Jayce and Viktor in Arcane remind me so much of the relationship between Will and Jem

https://preview.redd.it/b7muap6kef7e1.jpg?width=564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dfafb3ee01e5de33a95802db9234bff17d3e1b73

SPOILERS FOR BOTH TID AND ARCANE

The unconditional love they have to each other, one being terminally ill while the other does his best to protect him, even the fact that both Viktor and Jem go through some magical process that saves their life but leaves them changed. There are so many parallels and I just wanted to get it out of my chest.

Izzy and Simon.

Can you convince me that Izzy and Simon actually make a good couple and it was not just Cassie trying to pair people up?

Can I read The Infernal Devices trilogy without reading The Mortal Instruments series?

I read The Bane Chronicles and liked it so I decided to read the whole Mortal Instruments series to know more about the world. Unfortunately, despite reading 4 books from the series, I just did not like The Mortal Instruments. I heard good things about The Infernal Devices so I’m curious to read it. So I just want to know, will I miss a lot of big plot points in The Infernal Devices if I did not finish The Mortal Instruments?

Shadow Hunters coming back?

Is Shadow Hunters coming back?

In Dominic Sherwood’s newest instagram post he captioned it “forever j.c” stating Jace.

Katherine Mcnamara who commented on said post said “JC forever baby ❤️”

Dom then responded to Katherine with: “He will be back ;)”

What’s with the winky face Dom? Wdym “he will be back Dom???

I know i might be stretching but Katherine, Dom and Matt have been very active and Dom and Katherine went to Comic Con for Shadow Hunters.

(I want my baby’s back i miss this show so much)

Parabatai painting

This art piece is an ode to my relationship with someone I deeply consider my parabatai. It includes the quote from Achilles Come Down that says, “where you go I’m going, so jump and I’m jumping since there is no me without you.” The background is purple because that’s my favorite color.

Front and center is the rune, which is the manifestation of a symbol that represents the bond between two partners, the bridge between two people. Our hands are reaching to grasp the rune which is the embodiment of the bond itself, characterized by our heavily personal belongings (my ring and her bracelet).

Once you bond with someone as your parabatai, it is nigh impossible to lose them, short of death. As the oath states, ”if aught but death part thee and me,”

Fateful decision in the Seelie Court

So I am rewatching the show and I am confused with how Simon was so in fear for his life. He is a vampire aka dead, so why would being constricted kill him or scare him. Is there some lore I need to be filled in on or is it an honest fluke.

Never been a fan of Sizzy

So I’ve been re-reading the Shadowhunter books since around summer of this year. Read TID trilogy, finished the first half of the TMI series, and have literally just started City of Fallen Angels. And I can’t help but still have the same opinion, which is that I don’t understand Simon and Isabelle as a couple. I just don’t get it. I know they’re a beloved couple in the shadowhunter fandom, but I’ve just never understood the appeal of them or felt any real chemistry between the two of them. It almost seems like they were thrown together because Clary and Jace were paired off, and then Alec and Magnus were paired off. Plus, and this might be an unpopular opinion, but I honestly preferred Simon with Maia, I felt more chemistry between those two. There’s also the fact that, in the beginning of COFA as I’m reading it, it’s said that Isabelle made Simon wear different pieces of clothing. Which seems kind of…controlling??? Maybe I’m just looking too much into that. Maybe I’ll change my mind and my original opinion once I finish TMI, but for now I just still feel that way about Sizzy. It could also be that of all the characters in TMI, Isabelle is just the one I felt the least for and connected with the least for some reason.
