In case you missed the full story of the story of Silas Pangborn and Eloisa Ravenscar, here it is: In the Bane Chronicles, Magnus briefly meets Silas and Eloisa. Magnus notes that Silas introduces Eloisa as his parabatai but it reminds him of someone introducing their wife. In The Infernal Devices, Gabriel and Gideon recount a story that their father told them. Silas Pangborn was their uncle on their mother’s side of the family. Silas and Granville Fairchild (Charlotte’s father) were close friends, however Grandville snitched to the Clave that Silas and Eloisa were in love. Because of the events that followed this, Silas killed himself. Benedict Lightwood, manipulated this story though to claim that his wife died of grief from losing her brother to divert from the fact that he killed her from infecting her with demon pox (🎶demon pox oh demon pox🎶). This story comes back in during The Dark Artifices when Silas and Eloisa are mentioned because of Emma and Julian’s situation. They’re basically referred to as a cautionary tale about the consequences of parabatai falling in love.
I definitely missed putting those pieces together on my first read. It wasn’t until my chronological reread that it all clicked. It’s not really anything that consequential to the plots, but it is interesting that this story comes up throughout the series.

Kit, Jace, Magnus, Simon and FOR SURE Will Demon Pox Herondale are theatre kids
(Plus I'm sure they make their partners watch musicals with them and secretly they enjoy it)

Demon pox, oh demon pox
Just how is it acquired?
One must go down to the bad part of town
Until one is very tired.
Demon pox, oh demon pox, I had it all along—
Not the pox, you foolish blocks,
I mean this very song—
For I was right, and you were wrong!
- Best-Selling, Grammy Award Winning, Multi-Platinum Record, by William Herondale

The kind of things that would have to happen at a wedding to cause an outbreak of demon pox...

Just had the thought that, if Corridor ghouls exist on Coruscant, than Patcher is totally right about demon pox being real. The chief medic has seen it all

“Demon pox, oh demon pox
Just how is it acquired?
One must go down to the bad part of town
Until one is very tired.
Demon pox, oh demon pox, I had it all along—
Not the pox, you foolish blocks,
I mean this very song—
For I was right, and you were wrong!"
"Will!" Charlotte shouted over the noise, "Have you LOST YOUR MIND? CEASE THAT INFERNAL RACKET! Jem—"
Jem, rising to his feet, clapped his hands over Will's mouth. "Do you promise to be quiet?" he hissed into his friend's ear.
Will nodded, blue eyes blazing. Tessa was staring at him in amazement; they all were. She had seen Will many things—amused, bitter, condescending, angry, pitying—but never giddy before.
Jem let him go. "All right, then."
Will slid to the floor, his back against the armchair, and threw up his arms. "A demon pox on all your houses!" he announced, and yawned.
"Oh, God, weeks of pox jokes," said Jem. "We're in for it now.”

Listened to the Audiobook version of The Infernal Devices with my mom and she started singing the Demon Pox song to the tune of Smelly Cat. Never will think of Demon Pox without the Smelly Cat tune. Will Herondale would approve of Smelly Cat 100%. Both of us are Will Herondale Stans.

The first time I heard someone mention monkey pox I immediately thought of demon pox and couldn’t believe it was a real thing.

What was more culturally significant? The Renaissance or the Demon Pox song?

Shadowhunters fans, someone show this to the Herondales:
I mean, I was just doing homework today and suddenly I read "The Demon Duck of Doom". And like, what did you just say? Duck? Oh hell nah. Will and Jace actually had a point?
