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!

the way will and jem self-destruct in opposite ways.. how will wrecks his body to mirror his (perceived) wrecked soul, and jem wrecks his soul (i.e. his violin) to mirror his wrecked body.. and how one of them self-destructing triggers the other to spiral as well.. because will sees jem as his goodness, and jem sees will as his capability. and when they attack themselves, they are attacking the thing the other considers to be half of his being. and if will takes away their healthy body, then fine, jem will take away their healthy soul. he'll ruin his violin. he'll give into his desires. and they'll spiral in tandem.

vax getting into constant trouble and getting seriously hurt because he is always investigating is so funny to me, i can't

edit: ep16, he just got a couple of broken ribs because he decided to trigger a trap in the dungeon of bahamut's temple and got slammed into the ceiling, what an idiot

plus: grog/travis' reaction to these moments is so funny, he's always like no-no, let him kill himself that's hilarious when others try to stop vax, only for liam to roll like stupidly high

I love the detail of characters like Will still saying "dear God" and not by the angel or something. it's relatively minor but it's such a good little reminder that he grew up as a mundane & not a shadowhunter

#I like to think sometimes some of the tlh gang defaults to saying that too bc it's what their parents say #like in a moment of shock all the Merry Thieves as exclaiming Oh God/Jesus Christ/Good Lord etc except Math who's like. really confused lmao #shadowhunters are so limited in their expressions. like what's their equivalent to Jesus Mary and Joseph hmm??#sometimes a situation requires calling on the whole family yknow?? raziel is only one guy 🥱#bella reads cp1

the clockwork prince

i had this thought of jem as the clockwork prince, because the whole infernal devices storyline takes place alongside another: jem’s battle against the clock of his life, “winding down”. thus making him the clockwork prince because of his illness (the yin fen poisoning his blood). the prince of not having enough time. such a cruel fate to believe you are destined with when so young.

given yin fen is demon poison and demon blood burns shadowhunters…he must have been in a lot of pain. which is horrifying and breaks my heart into a million pieces to think about. yet jem is STILL so kind, gentle, and forgiving. god i am glad jem got his happy ending even if it took over a century, because no one deserved it more.
