“I did not know that I seemed sad, to you”

Matthew Fairchild From The Last Hours By @cassandraclare

EVERYONE STOP AND REALIZE THIS

I like how Cassandra Clare has put at least one bad egg in most of the Shadowhunter families (with multiple members). Fairchild, Lightwood, Blackthorn, Carstairs, etc

Except Herondale, I don’t remember anyone in that family who was rather a rotten person (please enlighten me)

Cassandra Clare really likes compound surnames doesn’t she

“You should have told us,” said Thomas. “We would have helped you move your things. I’m exceptionally good at carrying large objects.”

“And think of all those hairbrushes you would have had to relocate,” Lucie said. “Haven’t you got six or seven?”

Matthew glowered at her affectionately. “I try to be at least as stylish as our local ghosts.”

I’m too weak for Matthew and I can’t stop crying, scared something could happen to him.

Shadowhunter Families

To be a Herondale is to love so deeply and passionately that you feel like you’re flying rather than falling.

To be a Carstairs is to be the sword and shield between what you love and the world against it.

To be a Lightwood is to burn bright with the love you have not only for others, but the love you learn to feel for yourself.

To be a Blackthorn is to be so devoted to your family that the hand striking at them comes away with its blood on your armor.

To be a Fairchild is to understand and love those around you for the strength that others call a weakness.

To be a Lovelace is to let the ones you love choose their path, even if it breaks your heart when they never return.

To be a Morgenstern is to sink to any depth for what you love, even if you hit the ground burning on your own passion.

To be a Shadowhunter is to love.
