Cot - Blog Posts

Can someone give me a summary of Chain of Thorns, I’m not gonna be able to read it for a while.

I was reading the "Whos gonna die in cot" theories when i remembered something about the epilogue of clockwork princess.

When Tessa is remembering Wills death (sorry, ik we all hate to remember this but hang in there) and she was thinking of all the family they had. And so i read it back, and found this

Um, sorry, but uhhh WHAT HAPPENED TO THOMAS ??? Like is this how Cassandra is breaking the news to us, does thomas die ? PLS NOO, do Thomas and Alastair ever get together. WAHT HAPPENS TO HIM ???

OMG ALSO "Cecy's blue eyed boys" ... kit ? Cass pls dont take him. Both Anna and Alexander have blue eyes, and ik Anna is explained as a girl, she could have changed to being seen as a male, i mean we all know what she does, but if one of the "blue eyed boys" is anna, and the other alexander, THEN WHAT HAPPENS TO KIT ?? He has brown eyes, does he die ?? Cass pls dont do this to us.

Wow, so in conclusion, both THOMAS and CHRISTOPHER are either not at Will's death (which is weird, like y would they not be yk) OR THEYRE DEAD. WE ALL KNOW THAT CASS SAID ITS AT LEAST ONE CHARACTER THAT DIES. OMG IM NOT GONNA BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT.

thanks cass.

I think Alastair is going to die in cot because of so many reasons, but also this unidentified snippet:

He spends so much time convincing Thomas he’s not in love with him (or at least giving Thomas that impression) and it makes sense for one of them to die because it would be utterly heartwrenching.

I very much hope I’m wrong though

I love how Thomas is an unreliable narrator in the sense that he never notices how other people react to his appearance because he is so self-conscious and has a rather low self-esteem regarding his physical appearance.

It takes Alastair to tell us that, apparently, people are ogling Tom because he looks so good.

On the other hand, we never actually see people reacting that way in any of the other character's POVs, and that can mean 2 things:

A) The others don't pay that much attention to Thomas because he is just kind-hearted Tom to them

B) Alastair in a way overinterprets other people's looks because to him, Thomas is so beautiful, how could other people not see it, how could they not want him?

Addition: In ChoG, Cordelia actually describes Tom as handsome, but not beautiful as James or Matthew (several times). Clearly, the Carstairs siblings have different tastes.

Basically, Alastair asking Thomas to move in is the equivalent of a marriage proposal (at this point I'm not sure about gay marriage in the Edwardian shadowhunter community, but I assume it was not yet a possibility).

Also, only Alastair could make such a proposal and then need thorough convincing that Tom wants the same, which is really heartbreaking.

Anyway, I need that full scene ASAP

Does anyone else feel like the title of the book Lucie writes and that Jesse advises her to shorten is a massive easter egg? Or is it more than that, is it foreshadowing? You cannot convince me that "[...] the wicked powers [...]" is pure coincidence

So in Learn About Loss, Jem (Brother Zachariah) inquires after Annabel Blackthorn, believing her to be an Iron Sister. This must surely mean that Malcolm will not do anything too obviously necromantic in CoT, otherwise Jem surely would have heard.

Belial: Hey! Wake up!

Matthew, sleepily: Huh?

Belial: I just murdered your whole entire family!

Matthew: But I live alone-

Belial: Huh- then who are those people in your house?

Matthew: There are people in mY HOUSE??

Belial: Well, not anymore, dumb bitch, you could’ve died, you’re welcome

James: *aggressively banging his stele against the desk*

Cordelia: Don’t be mean to the poor thing! How would you like it if I banged you against the desk?

James:

Cordelia:

James: I don’t know the right answer to that question.
