(¯ ³¯)｡.:*♡ mark blackthorn
h okay most ppl won't know him but he's a character from cassandra clare's the dark artifices and also owner of my heart.
he's my half fey half shadowhunter bicon who owns the series and is so underrated and lovely and kind.
this boy has gone through hell and back by being abandoned by his birth mother and struggling with being his father's illegitimate faerie child.. as well as his father's reminder of his horrible times in faerie. and then he saw his father turned into an endarkened and almost suffered death at the hands of his father. and then he was sent away from his family to faerie where he was taunted and tortured for years on end. god he deserves a BREAK.
yet?? despite all this?? when he comes back he's still an amazing older brother by doing whatever he can to make julian and the kids happen (he lies to kieran the love of his life in lord of shadows for julian so. tea) and he accepts the fake relationship request by emma without hestitation because it'll help her and julian? he tries his best throughout the entire series and is just looking for love.and support.
he's also. absolutely gorgeous and literally has kieran and basically everyone who looks at him weak at the knees so. we fucking stan!
anyways i love my baby so much i want only happiness for him in the future. cc touch him and i cut ur hands off please let him thrive he really deserves it.
some of my favorite mark related quotes
his quotes / quotes about him
"there was something about his two-colored eyes; both eyes had been blue when emma had last seen him, and the bifurcation seemed to speak to something broken inside him, like a piece of pottery cracked along the glaze." - lm pg 139
"i have been in the land of faerie for years and it is a place where mortal blood is turned to fire. it is a place of beauty and terror beyond what can be imagined here. i have ridden with the wild hunt. i have carved a clear path of freedom among the stars and outrun the wind. and now i am asked to walk upon the earth again." - lm pg 200
"she heard mark laugh. it was a wild sound; she could hear the echo of the hunt in it, the roar of the horn and the pounding of hooves. "
"she couldn't help but remember mark the last time she had seen him. smiling, blue-eyed, short pale hair curled over the tips of his pointed ears. broad shouldered. our at least she, at twelve had thought so. certainly he had been bigger than julian, taller and broader than all of them. grown up."
"'might i make free with your lettuce, my lady?' mark was saying to a girl with bright pink hair and a pile of salad on her plate. she pushed it toward him, grinning.
'you're gorgeous,' she said. 'even with the fake elf ears. forget the lettuce. you can make free with my-'"
"in mark's eyes emma could see a wilderness of stars and treetops, the fierce shine of glaciers, all the glittering detritus of the roof of the world."
"mark blackthorn wasn't brooding or troubled exactly. but mark blackthorn belonged to kieran and the wild hint. mark blackthorn had a divided heart. he also had a soft, husky voice, startling eyes, and a habit of saying things that turned the world backward."
"he put his arms around julian and held him tightly. julian exhaled, as if he were letting go of something heavy that he had carried for a long time, and leaning on mark's shoulder, he left his older brother bear just a little of his weight."
"the stars will go out before i forget you, mark blackthorn."
still a work in progress
i'm always adding to this but these are my faves
