Following the Pride Event yesterday, we’re back to the #SaveShadowhunters hiatus for the foreseeable future. But we do have some fun things coming up once someone decides to finally make an official announcement. 

Here are the events that are still slated to take place once the hiatus is over: 

Once the campaign is finished, I will post an announcement with a revised schedule. It will take me a few days to queue the recs I have already prepared, but it should be a relatively quick turn-around. Thanks again for your patience and understanding!
