I'm A Bit Disappointed That Thomas's Tattoo Did Not Make An Appearance In Chot...

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. 

The owner of this blog has too many feelings for fictional characters.

NCCU Princes

So according to google Ben Lamb (The Christmas Prince) is 1,88m tall. Josh Whitehouse (The Knight Before Christmas) and Sam Palladio (The Princess Switch) are 1,88m tall as well! This leads me to the conclusion that a new prince in a new installment of the nccu must be 1,88m tall as well. Who could that be? Shawn Mendes (1,88m). In this essay I will.... 

Maybe they really just went with the whole Easter vibe??

everyone hold my hand. NEOW. if bobby was actually dead why would be via man made rat disease. why would they not just let it leak, but post a fake script making light of the whole situation. why is oliver making light of bobby dying in his comments. why is tim saying ‘no bobby’s dead fr’ in his liar who lies voice. why is peter on set for 8x17. why would they kill him in a seemingly random episode instead of the end of the season. why was angela saying she doesn’t see an end of 911 where bobby and athena aren’t together. and also. this would just be shockingly bleak for the nobody dies show. if he’s dead fr i’ll eat my words but i swear i think bobby is literally fine.

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

Buck: *Speaks* Bobby : 👀😒🤨

when she says she doesn’t send nudes

I sometimes have a few issues with facial expressions, especially if there's no words being said. In that scene where Illya shocks Rudi for the first time he looks at Napoleon, but I can't tell if it's from Napoleon still having his hand on Rudi or from seeing how strong the electric was. Can you break down his expression for me, please?

I think it’s open to many interpretations, but I’ll try to break down his facial expressions as I see them.

First, I think I need to consider where Illya is at mentally. He’s just been “betrayed” by Gaby and his first priority is, not contacting his commanding officer and telling him the situation or trying to find the bomb, but finding Solo. Illya had been listening to the conversation between Gaby and her Uncle Rudi; he knows Uncle Rudi “needs to make a telephone call” and that’s likely to tell Victoria that Solo is CIA—Illya knows Solo is in trouble and needs to get to Solo before it’s too late (although from his perspective, it might already be too late, but he’s going to try to save Solo anyway—which I think says a lot. Perhaps he felt he owed Solo since Solo had been in a similar situation of not knowing if he was still alive after the boat incident but Solo went to save him from drowning anyway?)

Let’s assume that Solo is being held at the Vinciguerra shipping facility since that is most likely and the design of Rudi’s lab matches the design of that facility. This gives Illya some advantage because he’s already been there before and knows about the hidden button to get to the basement, however, the facility is heavily guarded.

Illya would have to find a way to sneak past, or probably fight off, all these guards to get to Solo. This is probably why, although Uncle Rudi and Illya were at the same location (Vinciguerra’s Manor) when Gaby exposed them, that Uncle Rudi got to Solo before Illya.  So Illya has done all this work to find Solo although he has no way of knowing if Solo is dead or alive. Fortunately, Solo is still alive. Now here’s where it’s a bit confusing for me, does Illya know that Solo was being tortured by electrocution? I don’t see how he cannot given that there are no other physical signs of torture. Solo is sweating, blood is streaming from his nose, and there are tears along his cheeks. Illya is also a skilled tech with proficiency in computer programming languages FACT and COBOL, so he would be able to recognize how the chair is wired up. Yet, after he’s strapped Rudi’s right hand, when he comes to the front of the chair, he looks curiously at the contraption with a foot pedal.

Although, perhaps he’s merely looking for the on switch? Either way, he’s startled when Rudi is electrocuted.

Interesting thing, though, is that he checks Solo’s reaction, not Rudi’s. Is this realization of how badly Solo was tortured? Or surprise that it is an electrocution device? (Which I don’t think makes sense, again because of his specialities… but he was also surprised to see an aircraft carrier… while flying over the ocean… which is also confusing but I guess you can argue that he didn’t expect the British Navy to get involved? I digress.)

Illya’s expression does change from surprise to this expression:

He’s looking more intensely at Solo. Perhaps this expression is deep concern over Solo’s welfare. This realization of what this chair does, if you want to call it realization, is unsettling to him. Perhaps he’s realizing how close Solo would have been to dying if he hadn’t gotten to him in time. Or perhaps he was worried he’d injured Solo again because he hadn’t been paying attention to the fact that Solo was still touching the chair. In this angle, Solo is still touching the chair when Illya presses the pedal:

I think you can make a lot of arguments on what Illya’s reaction means, but either way, he’s not happy. Once he knows what this chair will do to Rudi, he’s quite keen to torture Rudi with it for information. The second time he presses the pedal it’s in response to Uncle Rudi being willing to testify against anyone, even his own niece. The third time, he’s taking his anger for Gaby betraying him (“It’s not the same”) out on Rudi simply for the sake of doing it, but the pedal doesn’t work that time, but he keeps jamming his foot on the pedal anyway until Solo tells him it has a glitch. Illya is clearly disgusted by what Rudi subjected Solo to and angry at Gaby for endangering Solo as well. Which is probably why he fights against believing Gaby didn’t betray them and learning that Gaby is a British spy working for Waverly (“You’re wrong. […] You’re wrong. I saw her betray us at Vinciguerra.”) It takes Waverly telling him that he told Gaby to betray them for Illya to accept what had happened and forgive her. He realized she had no choice in the matter, that she had to obey Waverly, even if it meant possibly getting her teammates killed.

A difficult situation that Illya probably knows all too well.

In the end, he would have done exactly the same thing in her position.

Yes, my name is Annika!!!

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.
