william herondale really told jem carstairs he was his conscience and shoved his hands into a fire to retrieve drugs for jem and people think alec and jace are the better parabatais

rereading clockwork angel and i’m thinking about the parallels between will/jessamine and tessa/jem.

will and jessamine: both come from parents who left the shadowhunter life, spending their childhoods in the mundane world. their behaviour is often rude, volatile, they shout and argue, both masking their pain by lashing out and rejecting the love charlotte & henry offer them (for wildly different reasons, but the outward behaviour is not dissimilar). they have moments of raw vulnerability before rapidly closing off (jessamine and her dollhouse; will when tessa sees too much of his real self). will and jessamine’s lives both make them hopeless — will because he cannot let anyone get close, and jessamine who says she’d rather die than live this life she never wanted. will chooses the shadowhunter life, because he cannot go home; jessamine wants nothing to do with it, but she cannot get out. they’re both desperate for their lives to change (though we see more of this from will in cp1).

and then you have jem and tessa: both travelled from different continents after basically losing everything, to arrive in london. both tortured repeatedly, forced to recalibrate to the world after. they feel out of place initially, yearning for the lives they had before everything changed, before they had to travel so far from home (which brings the most pain, as jem says). people see them as different for what they are, for things they cannot change — the “half one thing and half another, like me” conversation. they take on more nurturing roles, so in the rare moments when they do express anger, it hits extra hard. they both want something essential: jem to experience the kind of love his parents had, and tessa to know who she is, to not be alone in the world.

they all carry their histories in different ways, i guess is the point here, and it’s interesting how certain characters’ backgrounds/stories parallel others. this isn’t to compare either pair, rather i’m just observing the similarities — it’s always struck me how will and jessamine seem pretty similar at the start of clockwork angel, (which shows in the way they argue and shout at each other a lot) though obviously their needs/reasons/values are incredibly different. and then there’s jem and tessa, who are more shy and yet, contradictorily, more openly feeling, who i think because of their nature often have their pain overlooked (especially the fact that they were both tortured!!) and tessa representing a reason to hope for both will and jem but also jessamine, who later projects this onto nate, bec she’s desperate for a way out, while jem and will have a reason to not be resigned to their fates.

anyway stan tid for breaking my heart again!

cassie is so good at writing male characters who are morally dubious and/or have been assholes and yet are still lovable and sympathetic so it’s a wonder to me she hasn’t written a single convincing female character like that

#her female characters who are morally dubious are/or assholes #get punished and that’s it #which is yunno fine but much less interesting #i think she’s following a 2008 model where women can only be lovable or evil and not both #grace and annabel clan where are you #like she made SEBASTIAN sympathetic and lovable #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #grace blackthorn #annabel blackthorn #chain of thorns #qoaad #jessamine lovelace #chot #tlh #tda

worst thing that could happen to a potential TID adaptation is making it really serious like the City of Bones movie. like the movie is objectively fine & follows canon pretty well but the vibes are so utterly atrocious it's basically a chore to watch. like every line is delivered in the same monotone because it's Serious and the whole movie is grey and muted and it just does not work! it's really obvious with Magnus's scenes and the fact they changed why Simon was taken by the vampires. like maybe him turning into a rat was camp and fun! maybe if you all showed more than two emotions this would actually engaging! and idk I feel like it could be so much worse with TID because it's set in the Victorian era and a lot of period pieces are Serious and Gritty yknow? but one of the strongest aspects of the series is that it's funny! like if I'm not grinning like an idiot and giggling and gasping in shock as I'm watching it I don't want it!

#if I watch Tessa break a vase over Will's head without reaction I would simply stop watching then and there 😐😐 #however if it leaned into the comedy it would be a masterpiece #the infernal devices #city of bones movie #tessa gray #will herondale #jem carstairs #sophie collins #charlotte branwell #henry branwell #charlotte fairchild #henry fairchild #gideon lightwood #gabriel lightwood #jessamine lovelace #cecily herondale #bella talks

I really like this because it illustrates the difference between Jessamine's mundane values vs. the Shadowhunter ones that Sophie already held long before ascending. (Sophie is unequivocally correct, btw - but it's so interesting to note this and an interesting character detail.

I hate that Thomas Tanner basically gets nuked ...

...but I do feel like it illustrates what it means to be a mundane in the world of the Shadowhunters, devalued in some way even if you fight and hold the same values as a Shadowhunter. Imo this is a huge reason that Sophie felt such a drive to Ascend in the end - like Thomas, she knew that she could not fight as well as a Shadowhunter as a mundane. But rather than accepting this (which is completely reasonable) Gideon pushes her to follow her dream.

And then we have this odd world building snippet, too. Lots of world building surrounding this battle. This seems really fucked up since the servants were Sophie's friends and died saving Tessa.

(Also, does this mean that Tessa was eventually barred from Will's funeral? I would ask if Magnus would be barred from Alec's, too, but laws are changing.)

In another life, a life that's not this one where Sophie and Thomas served the Nephilim, I actually think they would probably have made a great match. While Sophie obviously belongs with Gideon, everything surrounding Thomas Tanner is incredibly sad, but ultimately necessary for the world building of The Infernal Devices as well as a catalyst for Sophie's growth.

I'm glad that his name lived on in Blorbo.
