Cassandra Clare

May 24

So Cassandra Jean has finished the complete Shadowhunter Tarot, so for the next … seventy-something days I’ll be posting a card a day (okay, maybe not every day — I tend to get distracted!)  in order, from the first card to the last. Some will be under spoiler cuts; some you’ll have seen before — I’ll explain why each character has the card they have. 
We’ve moved on from the Major Arcana to the minor Arcana — the first suit is the suit of Rings, which takes the place of the suit of Pentacles. The Two of Rings shows the Wayland ring and the Verlac ring. The Wayland symbol is horseshoes, because of Wayland the Smith (who gets a brief mention in Clockwork Princess as having forged Cortana) and Verlac is a serpent because, well, ver in French is serpent or worm. (Lac = lake.) 
I like what Cassandra Jean did here with Jace and Sebastian: they’re basically presented as yin and yang, darkness and light. I like the masks as well, one light, one dark, that also indicate that what you see may not be exactly what you get.

Fangirlish | We’re Debuting the Secret TMI Project Early! -

This is so adorable! I knew the girls at fangirlish and hypable were up to something, but not the details. 

We have received hundreds of pictures, and we continue to add them to the new websitemortalinstrumentslove.com. Right now it is dedicated to Jamie Campbell Bower…We put the first 250 into a video (edited by Kimmy West of Page to Premiere) – and eventually we hope to do more with all of these. We are currently putting all the pictures into a photo album that will be given to Jamie at Comic Con.

Give yourself a round of applause Shadowhunters – you did great rallying support! I am proud to be a Shadowhunter and part of this fandom.”

You guys are so adorable!

Jonathan and Clary Morgenstern from “The Mortal Instruments” series by @cassieclare
My english isn’t perfect, so I hop you will understand my thought behind the artwork.*might include spoilers*It was inspired by a few songs:*”Hysteria” by Muse*”Save Me” by Globus*”curl up and die” by Relient k*”The Horror of Our Love” by Ludoand finally, “Animal I have become” by Three Days Grace -which influenced me the most.I think that Jonathan is the most human character in TMI. It might sound weird, but I really relate to him. I don’t think he is bad or evil, and I don’t think that he is acting the way he is just because of the demon blood inside him. The consequence of his life made him the way he is. his own mother abandoned him. his father, the one person in the world that he wanted to impress, denied him. Valentine blamed Jonathan for being the reson the love of his life left. he even liked better to pretend that Jace was his son. but even though, Jonathan yearned for his attention and to be recognized by him. and then he died.I think that Clary can see spot of light in him. and while reading TMI, I felt like he needs her. she is his silver lining. his savior. his redemption. “I can’t escape this hellSo many times I’ve triedBut I’m still caged insideSomebody get me through this nightmareI can’t control myselfSo what if you can seeThe darkest side of meNo one will ever change this animal I have becomeHelp me believe it’s not the real meSomebody help me tame this animalI can’t escape myselfSo many times I’ve liedBut there’s still rage insideSomebody get me through this nightmareI can’t control myselfSome what if you can seeThe darkest side of meNo one will ever change this animal I have becomeHelp me believe it’s not the real meSomebody help me tame this animal I have becomeHelp me believe it’s not the real meSomebody help me tame this animalSomebody help me through this nightmareI can’t control myselfSomebody wake me from this nightmareI can’t escape this hellThis animalThis animalThis animalThis animalThis animalThis animalThis animalSo what if you can seeThe darkest side of meNo one will ever change this animal I have becomeHelp me believe it’s not the real meSomebody help me tame this animal I have becomeHelp me believe it’s not the real meSomebody help me tame this animalThis animal I have become…”-“Animal I have become” by Three Days Grace.

*might include spoilers*

It was inspired by a few songs:
*”Hysteria” by Muse
*”Save Me” by Globus
*”curl up and die” by Relient k
*”The Horror of Our Love” by Ludo
and finally, “Animal I have become” by Three Days Grace -which influenced me the most.

I think that Jonathan is the most human character in TMI. It might sound weird, but I really relate to him. I don’t think he is bad or evil, and I don’t think that he is acting the way he is just because of the demon blood inside him. The consequence of his life made him the way he is. his own mother abandoned him. his father, the one person in the world that he wanted to impress, denied him. Valentine blamed Jonathan for being the reson the love of his life left. he even liked better to pretend that Jace was his son. but even though, Jonathan yearned for his attention and to be recognized by him. and then he died.

I think that Clary can see spot of light in him. and while reading TMI, I felt like he needs her. 
she is his silver lining. his savior. his redemption. 

“I can’t escape this hell
So many times I’ve tried
But I’m still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

So what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

I can’t escape myself
So many times I’ve lied
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself

Some what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can’t escape this hell

This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal

So what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

This animal I have become…”
