Kaitlin Cubria (@kcubes) of teen.com shared her set report from her visit to Toronto during filming of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. Kaitlin is a mega TMI fan, a true shadowhunter, so this report comes to you with a lot of excitement on her part. She even got to meet local Canadian boy…err very tall man, Kevin Durand! Lucky girl.

We’ve debated and wondered. We’ve all followed the account for months now and tried to decide. Will the real Robert Sheehan please stand up?
All of us have been eager to have all the actors from The Mortal Instruments series on Twitter. So far we have @LilyCollins, @JamieBower, @KevinZegers (who is super great with talking to fans and is recently verified), @GodfreyGao (the Instagram king), @IamLenaHeadey, @JRM_Official, and @CCHPounder.
The final stall outs have been Robert, Aidan Turner and Jemima West. Jemima confirmed to fans on set that she does not have a Twitter account, and up until recently, Robert has said he didn’t tweet.
Check out the very first couple minutes of this interview with ShowBizGeek where he cleared up the “Twitter confusion”:
So we wondered… did he have one pint too many? Because on February 15th, the account @RobMSheehan, which had been dormant since 2011, sprang to life…
Great night at the IFTAs last weekend.

Following that, there were a couple more tweets, and everyone was worried that the account had been hacked. I even checked Robbie’s brother’s account, Brendan, and this is what he said on February 16: “again doesn’t use social media so not him not him and not him again.”
Situation settled in my eyes. But, that didn’t necessarily mean he never had Twitter, right? We just didn’t know.
So then… on February 18th, we get the following….
Not hacked. Long story, all should become clear soon, thanks for your patience.
— Robert Sheehan (@RobMSheehan) February 18, 2013
And as of recent, his account has been verified. But, with Twitter silence for the past 10 days, one must ask, “Where is Robert?” Is this the real Robert? It’s pretty hard to get legitimately verified, so one figures that this could really be him. I’m hoping we’ll get a Twitter pic of him holding a sign saying, “Hey, this is really me on Twitter”, and we can all have a big laugh. We believed ya the whole time . . .
As of now, I’m still going to wait patiently for some more verification. Brendan Sheehan, any help here? Nonetheless, welcome aboard (or back) to Twitter, “absentee Twitterer, though real and verified” Robert Sheehan, if it is indeed you! We promise to filter ourselves accordingly and not fangirl too much (we figure you secretly probably may like it a little). We look forward to random hilarity and hopefully bits and bobs of news about TMI and his other upcoming projects.
So the chapter reveal of Clockwork Princess is coming along, but as you probably know due to a glitch earlier a whole bunch – thousands – of tweets didn’t get counted. So right now I’m just going to put up the whole Will/Cecily (er, not Will/Cecily per se, but the scene with them talking) scene from the first chapter, under a read more tag. It’ll be a while before the whole scene is played out on the website, and this is my way of apologizing for how disorganized and unpleasant this whole business has been. I wish I could do something about it, but I can’t. I’ll probably get a lot of flak for doing this. But anyway, here it is (and if it doesn’t match up with what’s eventually on the chapter reveal, that’s because I don’t actually have a copyedited, proofed, final version of the book. I only have a draft.)
DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ SPOILERS.
CP2 SPOILERS
“Write to them, Will,” said Cecily Herondale. “Please. Just one letter.”
Today we have been tweeting to get the first chapter of the last book in The Infernal Devices series. For all of our hard work Cassandra Clare has rewarded up with a snippet from Clockwork Princess.
“His eyes narrowed, those dark blue eyes the same color as her own. When their mother had said affectionately that Will would be a breaker of hearts when he was grown, Cecily had always looked at her dubiously. Will had been all arms and legs then, skinny and disheveled and always dirty. She could see it now, though, had seen it when she had first walked into the dining room of the Institute and he had stood up in astonishment, and she had thought:That can’t be Will.”
We only have less than a month until we find out what happens to Tessa, Jem and Will.
We all have very anxious feels about what will happen in the final Infernal Devices book Clockwork Princess. So, in a way to hash out the theories (reader bewarned if you haven’t read the series… we may talk spoilers), I’ve enlisted the help of some of my favorite bloggers (@TMIShadwhunters, @TMI_colombia, @TMIspanishnews, @shannoncatori, @TMICanada and @ThePaisleyOwl) to discuss our predictions and debate some of your favorite theories.
FIRST UP: Let’s talk about William Herondale.
AMBER, The Mortal Institute:
“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.” Charles Dickens
When I look at Will Herondale, I see a reflection of Sydney Carton, a protagonist in the Dickens classic “A Tale of Two Cities”. In the novel, Sydney is a lawyer characterized as lazy and drunk who takes very little interest in life. He just plainly doesn’t seem to care about anyone or anything. Sound a bit familiar? Sydney comes to represent prisoner Charles Darnay. Darnay is in love with Lucie Mannette, but we find out the Sydney also has formed an unrequited love for Lucie. (See where I’m going with this?)
Anyway, Sydney talks to Charles a bit about Lucie. Though he comes off rather rude and bitter, you can tell he has feelings for her. He later tells Lucie he loves her, and that he’ll do anything for her and for those she loves. Well, this plan doesn’t work. Is any of this ringing a bell? Lucie plans to marry Charles anyway. To make a long story short, Charles is sentenced to the guillotine, and Will (I mean Sydney) makes an ultimate sacrifice by taking Charles’ place underneath the blade.
Now, I have no idea how Cassie Clare end the series, but it’s possible that Will is facing a Dickens’ style fate. We know a lot of times modern day writers take the classic plots and work them into new, interesting novels. I’m really interested to see what twist Cassie puts in this final tale of Will Herondale.
TITA, TMI Spanish News: I’m scared… really scared of what will happen to Will in Clockwork Princess… >.<
CELINE, TMI Canada: I. Just. Don’t. Know. I’m staring at my clock trying to figure out the future of Will Herondale, and many unorganized scenarios rush into my mind:
But as I re-read the snippet, “Will rose slowly to his feet. He could not believe he was doing what he was doing, but it was clear that he was, clear as the silver rim around the black of Jem’s eyes… Jem held his hand out, and for a moment, they clasped hands, as they had done during their parabatai ritual, reaching across twin rings of fire to interlace their fingers with each other.” It seems as if Will is about to commit to something that could end his life.
SARAH, The Mortal Institute: I actually think that Will’s ending will be quiet and sort of happy. I think that his love for Jem is greater than his love for Tessa, meaning no matter what happens to Jem he wouldn’t go after Tessa. I mean, Jace is a Herondale, so we know that the bloodline continues. I would like to think that Will finds his love of his life and has a long and happy life and children.
SATIN, The Mortal Institute: I have no clue at all as to where Will’s life is headed, but what I do know is that the Herondale bloodline is continued because we of course are blessed with Jace Herondale. This pretty much means that he and Tessa do not end up together. I believe that Will will end up happy. I do know one thing, Will deserves happiness and I hope that he gets it.
LILIANA, TMI Colombia: I love Will Herondale. He´s maybe my favorite TID character, but honestly, if I can be sure of one thing right now, is that we won´t have a happy ending on Clockwork Princess, and we won’t have a happy ending for Will Herondale. He is going to suffer for sure. If Jem dies, part of him will die with Jem. And for respect of Jem’s memory, he won´t have a relationship with Tessa.
Can I say that all the theories are killing me?
SHANNON, The Mortal Institute: I think regardless of if Will ends up with Tessa or Jem does, in the end of Clockwork Princess, Will would have learned what it truly means to love and be loved. We know he loves Tessa and wants to have a life with her but he also loves Jem and is willing to do whatever necessary to keep Jem alive. And I could see Will sacrificing himself for the ones he loves, to ensure their happiness which ultimately brings him happiness too.
Next week, we discuss our final theories on Jem Carstairs. Please feel free to comment in the box below or tweet us to share your thoughts on the final predictions for our main TID characters.

We have to have roughly 500,000 tweets to reveal the chapter (100 tweets=1 chapter word). There’s lots of work to do! GO TEAM SHADOWHUNTERS!
TMI fans across the globe have anxiously been waiting for August 23 to arrive when we finally get to see the shadowhunter world come to life on the big screen.
Over the past several months we’ve been lucky to catch glimpses of what’s to come through set reports and pictures snapped, through interviews with the cast and a much anticipated trailer. But all the while something, rather someone was missing. MAGNUS.
We got our first taste of Magnus during Sony’s Valentine’s week graphics display and it was just enough to whet out palettes leaving us begging for more. Well by the angel, our prayers have been answered.
Josh Horowitz of MTV has finally given us some real Magnus magic we can all salivate over until the movie arrives.
