This may be. Slightly dumb. But this poll tournament has genuinely got me to internalize what people mean when they say my vote matters in IRL elections. Like I got it before but I GET it now that I can see the number and the effects (and the fraud- /j) on a smaller and much less serious scale. So uh, thank you? Yea I'll call this a good thing so Thanks lmao.
okay so the fraud is (hopefully) irrelevant to your irl elections (although i'll note from the demographics poll that, interestingly, it seems like the people who did fraud were in the ABSOLUTE MINORITY, even after we'd basically said 'yeah it's allowed' - imagine how much less likely people would be to do it if they would be arrested for it!).
however that being said. i'm so glad that the amount that single votes matter here helped you internalize it for larger elections! sometimes, smaller numbers can help big ones our brain comprehends poorly make more sense! and yes! your vote does matter!

Shoutout to 14-year-old Thomas Lightwood who would have simultaneously exploded into piles of confetti and melted into goo if he knew he would be married to Alastair Carstairs in just a few short years

ok i need to talk about alastair for a (long) moment bc i love him.
this got a lot longer than i expected it to btw so ig it’s just for the alastair stans bc it’s basically just a character study lmao
first of all, there’s obviously this:
“I wanted you to have a childhood, a thing I never had. I wanted you to be able to love and respect your father as I never could. Every time he made a mess, who do you think had to clean it up? Who told you Father was ill or sleeping when he was drunk? Who went out and fetched him when he passed out in a gin palace and smuggled him in through the back door? Who learned at ten years old to refill the brandy bottles with water each morning so no one would notice the levels had sunk—?”
like he put so much energy into making sure cordelia could grow up loving and adoring her father in a way he was never able to. from age ten he was hiding his father’s alcoholism, even before he started at the academy.
“Alastair never acknowledging any of it, laughing it off, turning her attention in some other direction, always, so she did not dwell. So she would not have to.”
and then he got to the academy and had bullying and beatings added on top of all that.
“They … let’s just say that by the end of the first week, I had been made to understand my place in the hierarchy, and I had the bruises to remind me should I ever forget.”
like… does this excuse bullying? no, it doesn’t, but it does explain it, especially after he had taken all that for a year:
“After about a year of being knocked around,” Alastair went on, “I realized I could either become one of the bullies, or suffer for the rest of my school days.”
and as he says himself no, he didn’t beat anyone, didn’t get his hands bloody, but yes, he was a bully to save himself from the beatings.
and again, this does not excuse the bullying because of course that’s still bad. i just feel like a lot of people really fucking underestimate how much growing up with an alcoholic parent can affect you. especially when 1) you actually know about it, and 2) you’re the one who has to deal with it from age ten, and 3) they verbally attack you when they’re drunk (as we also saw when elias talked to james)
and then we get to this:
“Then you lot arrived, a bunch of boys from famous families, too well brought up to understand at first what went on far from home. Expecting the world would embrace you. That you would be treated well. As I never had been.” Alastair pushed back a lock of hair with a shaking hand. “I suppose I hated you because you were happy. Because you had each other—friends you could like and admire—and I had nothing like that. You had parents who loved each other.”
and does this excuse the way he treated them? again, no. but once again, it does explain it. alastair had dealt with so damn much since he was a kid so of course he’s gonna feel jealousy. alastair isn’t white, he’s never been able to go anywhere and expected that the world would embrace him as he put it, so that’s yet another thing he was more than likely jealous about.
and he knows what he did was wrong. he knows there’s no excuse, he knows they would all be well within their right to hate him for the rest of their lives if they wanted to, and i feel like so many people forget that?? alastair never expected to be forgiven for any of this.
and then we get to his sexuality and charles.
if i did the math right, alastair would’ve been either 16 or freshly 17 when he started dating a 23-year-old charles and to quote cc:
“it was a bad and unhealthy relationship, and i think the age gap is part of that.”
anyway, there’s one quote i’ve had in my mind ever since chog, and it’s when alastair asks charles, “If this is not what you came for, then why are you here?”
this implies that charles is only ever there for one thing. like, alastair is in love with this man and he wants to show that but charles isn’t letting him.
not to mention that charles is also dismissing alastair’s wishes:
“And I thought that you would agree to marry too.”
“That I would marry?” Alastair sprang to his feet. “I have told you over and over, Charles, even if I did not have you, I would never marry some poor woman and deceive her as to my love and regard.”
alastair having to tell charles over and over again that he’s not marrying a woman and charles still assuming that he will like… sir 🤨 he said no 🤨
anyway. then there’s to how he felt about his sexuality:
“Father’s weakness is not your weakness.”
The fire in the grate had nearly burned down. Alastair’s eyes were luminous in the dark. “I have my own weaknesses, as you well know.”
and after this when cordelia tells him that love isn’t a weakness, he responds with “isn’t it?”
like this man is comparing his own sexuality to the way his father treated him. you cannot tell me he was always okay with being gay because he so clearly was not, especially not with charles trying to keep him hidden and trying to make him marry a woman.
and after elias dies:
“I can’t mourn,” he said in a choked voice. “I cannot mourn my own father. What does that say about me?”
his relationship with his father was so ruined to the point where he couldn’t mourn him because he wasn’t able to love him in the way cordelia was, likely because he mourned his father already when he was 10.
and there’s also some of cordelia’s observations in choi:
Some months ago Cordelia had learned the emotional cost of Alastair’s interventions, the invisible scars he worked so diligently to conceal.”
the emotional costs being this:
“She knew Alastair was not always like this—she knew he could be kind, sweet, vulnerable even. She knew her father had broken his son’s heart a dozen different ways, and Alastair was doing the best he could with the pieces.”
like. elias has been breaking alastair’s heart over and over basically in every possible way since he was at least 10 so he’s really just doing what he can to stitch himself together at this point, the exact reason he put up walls.
“But it didn’t help for Alastair to behave like this, to retreat behind a cold facade as cutting as glass.
The way James retreated behind the Mask.”
alastair is basically just one big defense mechanism.
we also have thomas’ observations about alastair:
“There was only one other person Thomas had known with eyes like that. Not golden eyes, but dark, and so sad—he had always been drawn to that dichotomy, he thought, of the cruelty of Alastair’s words, and the sadness with which he said them. Sorrowful eyes and a vicious tongue. Tell me, he had always wanted to say, what broke your heart, and let such bitterness spill out?”
the answer to his question: elias.
elias broke alastair’s heart and left him to respond to everything with defense mechanisms.
alastair is such a complex character and he’s also one of my absolute favorites because of that. his relationship with his father is so realistic, and him distancing himself from everyone else because of his father is also so realistic. i just love this character with my whole heart ok
this is so long but istg i could write a whole essay about this man and ykw? maybe i will.

Random and you can TOTALLY say no, but would you consider Alastair for TTPD x TSC? ❤️
I would never say no, esp. if I've read the books and love a character (though I might be late sometimes) <3

You're in luck, btw! I had one of these ready because I posted on Instagram, and apparently forgot to share here, but I didn't know which of these you wanted to see, so I made the other one as well! I hope you like this! 🤍

Cookie! I want to tease the boys! (mostly Issac and Alastair)
Oh i got chu fam 😘✨
as always MINORS DNI
NSFW (i hope you mean that kind of teasing if not, lemme no!)
Alastair:
there is a TON of things you could do to fluster this boy.
Not wearing underclothes on purpose especially if it rains or your getting wet some other way.
Alastair will be short circuiting, we know this.
but if you really wanna make him brain dead:
Tug on his choker/collar.
I promise he’s wearing one.
and i promise there’s never a moment he doesn’t salivate at the idea of you slipping your fingers up under the material, running over his soft skin.
There’s never a moment he isn’t dreaming of you dragging him with you around all day even if it’s just mundane shopping.
imagine you pulling him along and the suddenly detouring beyond the shopping district, he notices you’re now wandering past all the hubbub and out into a park… Into an area with more pivacy…
Thankfully, he’s wearing a huge crocheted sweater that’s covering his fully tented shorts.
He’s twitching painfully against the fabric, harder now that he’s anticipating what you’re taking him away from prying eyes to do to him.
He’s practically whining by the time you stop moving, little tears in his eyes threatening to fall. He wants you so bad.
You throw him to the ground and stand over him, he hurriedly reaches up to worship you, and you slap his hands away.
It’s your turn to take care of him.
He can’t help the little yelp of excitement, his fangs almost poking his chin as he takes his lower lip into his mouth.
You kneel down to unbutton his shorts, instead of a belt he’s wearing a pink, bow-tied, silk ribbon.
You take one of the long tails and pull it so painfully slowly.
His hips raise on their own and he takes a sharp breath in.
finally his bottoms are open, and you’re free to do with him whatever you want.
Issac:
Now this boy is way easier to fluster, i swear he’s kinda like allie, but def doesn’t like seeing your blood (even tho he sees it as much as he does). He is also Actually kinda innocent in a way, and very shy.
To fluster him, really all you’d have to do is touch him. literally just poke the poor boy on his shoulder and he might explode.
You put your palm flat to his back, thinking he needed some consoling…
Only for his body to shudder violently, you pull your hand back fast.
“Why-d-did you take your hand back?” (probably imagining cutting it off to have for his own use forever, but thinks better of it since it would get cold, and he’d be forced to see your blood again…)
“oh… I thought i hurt you ‘sall…” You put it back, and again he convulses.
Your warmth spreading to him through your open palm.
He breathes in.
His pants getting tighter.
Dev.in notices instantly and steps out, locking the door, and trapping you in with Issac…
Issac is FERAL.
He spins around and jumps you, he pins you to the bed you had both been sitting on.
“I can’t believe it, you love me back! i can feel it!”
“Wh-what?” You babble in a daze.
“I know you do! your warmth, it seeps into me… You want to be a part of me, just as i want to be a part of you…” His breathing and speech is completely erratic.
You can’t fight him off if you tried, at least he’s never as physically painful as Dev.in makes it for you.

Top 4 fave TSC characters and ships?
so at first i was like "sh*t, this is hard", but actually my top 4 characters it's pretty easy (idk about ships tho).
for characters:
1. will herondale. the loml. my baby. my everything. i love him to pieces. it's been so long since i first read about him and he's still my favorite book character EVER. i won't say much more because i wanted to do a long post dedicated solely to him.
2. alec lightwood. the other loml. i admire him so much and his character development is my favorite. he's grown so much and i'm so proud of how much he has achieved and how confident he has become. he deserves the best of the best and i wish him a very long, happy and filled with love life with magnus, rafael and max.
https://www.tumblr.com/fairdale/658362826868523008/okay-but-can-we-talk-about-how-alec-lightwood-has
3. alastair carstairs. when i tell you i didn't expect him to be my fave tlh character, i mean it. i remember reading the first book and being very curious about him, but i couldn't have predicted how much he would grow on me. he also has an amazing character arc in my opinion and i'm so proud of him. he's a softie.
https://www.tumblr.com/fairdale/734425523412926464/okay-ive-been-thinking-and-i-actually-think
4. kieran kingson. listen. HE'S SUCH A BOSS. i remember i didn't know how to feel about him at first. i was conflicted. i didn't how to feel about him and mark and cristina (i love the three of them and i'm so happy that they're together, just wanted to say it). he was a bit of an ass and i got really mad because of what he did to emma. but he redeemed himself. and i loved him so so much the more i knew about him. how he cared for mark and, later on, for cristina. i still think there's so much more to him that we don't know and i hope we get to see more of him (like, a lot). this may be a bit surprising, but he's so dear to me.
honorable mention to tessa, jem, matthew, magnus, kit, ty and raphael (and a lot more but let's not get carried away).
for ships:
herongraystairs. this one doesn't need explanation. they've been my roman empire for more than a decade. i'm not exaggerating. i love how much they love each other. i've never cried so much as i have with them. i'm still mad jem and will didn't grow old together. and i'm still so so sad for tessa (but happy that she got two loves like them).
malec. they're battling for top 1. COME ON, THEY'RE MALEC. of course they're on my top. iconic. great. sexy. funny. THEY'RE THE BEST. i get so happy everytime they appear and i only want them to be happy.
thomastair. I LOVE THEM. they're so cute and they love each other so much. they grew a lot and overcame a lot of fears to be together. they deserve each other and i loved their storyline.
kierarktina. SO HAPPY THEY ALL GOT TO BE TOGETHER. THEY'RE IN LOVE AND HAPPY. i need more of them. right now. and i need a solution because i want kieran to be together more than he is allowed at the moment.
special mention to kitty (i didn't put them because i'm waiting for twp, lame excuse, i know, I'M OBSESSED WITH THEM SINCE THEIR FIRST SCENE TOGETHER) and sophideon (is that the name?).

If it's not too late to make suggestions... would you be willing to draw The Duke from Resident Evil after a particularly lavish feast? After he's been absolutely stuffed and now begging not to eat any more? All as Heisenburg tries to coax him into eating a few more pastries?
Tumblr media
I'm so sure he could fit a few more things in there....

i saw this and thought of thomastair lmao
Tumblr media
JAKSJKSHSKSJA if this isn’t a realistic representation of how i imagine alastair doing it…then i don’t know what it is. i’m sorry, but i can perfectly picture him grumbling and panting and asking thomas to get closer because he wants needs to reach all of him, but can’t do it properly if thomas doesn’t get his ass a bit close !! and i can also picture poor thomas trying to hold back his laugh the whole time.

Yep Thomastair are exhibitionists
they would literally make out ANYWHERE ELSE except like the bedroom
sanctuary (where people could and did come in), library (again where people could and did come in), carriage (poor driver), mistletoe??? (as much as he wanted to claim alastair as his in front of the entire enclave, Alastair just dragging him behind an urn?????), infirmary (pls)
They waited so long to actually get together that they lack self control
It becomes a running gag that everyone walks in on them at least once because it’s impossible not to

Off the back of your last ask, I’m so curious about who your exceptions for Joe ships are, if not Ben, Mark or Chris.
Also - again just curious, everyone is entitled to their opinions - why do ships other than Joe with Jos give you shivers?
Are you now... well its Ali and Jimmy (it's kinda fleeting now. Jos has taken up half of my mind) 🫣
I know I have referred to them as his cricket parents, and no I am not into any weird shit but that was not my first thought when I started watching cricket and them.
LiStEn its the puppy love.
The adoration
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The tension
Tumblr media
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO
Tumblr media
As for Jimmy...
Tumblr media
You can just search up more pictures and gifs of them. There's puppy love and adoration everywhere
And Joe and Jos
They are SOULMATES. The substrate to the others enzyme and there are NO replacements in this case. They are just meant to be together happily ever after and all that. Just the thought of anything else, to me, is just WRONG
