“  Don’t be so hard on yourself, Jace… I should be doon soon enough. I’m just waiting on some tests to finish, and then I can close them up again… Why?   ”

“Because you shouldn’t be elbow deep in someone’s guts on your birthday. Have you been down here the whole day?”

“   Now now… I’m not losing my mind this early on, Jace.   ”

“Maybe it’s just me then...Anyway, you think you’ll be done soon? With the autopsy, I mean.”

“ First sign of insanity? or a good sign of intelligence? — Which one it is, I guess we shall never find out. ”

“Maybe a little bit of both. We are talking about you after all.”

“Careful, Iz. Pretty sure talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity.”

“You’re not the only one.” It was one of those late nights. The ops center was practically empty, people were either on patrol or sleeping. He was tired of looking at monitors but not tired enough to sleep. Maybe Izzy was feeling the same. Who knows? Late night confessions don’t really have a specified formula. “Things just...” Just what? Were easier? Made more sense? Broke them less? “got complicated very quickly.”

“Feel like another round?”

“You were great last night…”

“Wow, you look even better in the daylight.”

“My clothes look better on you than they do on me.”

“I had no idea you were into that stuff…I’m glad I found out.”

“We didn’t even get to use the toys last night.”

“You should play with my hair some more…”

“I don’t remember ever having this many hickeys. But I don’t mind.”

“That was a workout.”

“I don’t know your name. But you can share it with me, so I know what to scream this time.”

“The fun doesn’t have to end.”

“I think I can convince you to stay…”

“Don’t pretend like you’re asleep. Should I find a way to wake you up?~”

“We could order pizza and just stay like this all day.”

“I love your bedhead.”

Awkward

“Oh no…what did we do?”

“Hi! You need to leave.”

“I can’t believe I did this again.” / “I can’t believe we did this again.”

“Where are your clothes?”

“…I’m sore in such weird places.”

“Hey, sorry! I’m gonna go. Right now.”

“*sees ___ and screams*”

“Not themselves anymore”

Send “Not themselves anymore” for my muse to be possessed

The young shadowhunter appeared in front of it. It couldn’t see a weapon, couldn’t sense any apprehension. He may not be aware of what has happened, probably a way for the others to protect the boy trapped in this body. Too bad. It wouldn’t mind throwing another shadowhunter off a roof. That was fun.

“Raphael.” The mind supplied the name. If nothing else Jace was useful in providing information. Names and places. The man know a lot of the world that he was in making it was easier to go undetected. “Out for patrol?” It asked, trying to stay casual but still keeping the distance in case there was error in his judgement.

Very Vague Starters

“So would you like to explain… this?”

“The thing… yes this thing. The thing of which I’m not stalling about.”

“What is that?”

“Uhhh hi, how are you? In this current point and time?”

“Doing alright, you know… meh and all that.”

“If you don’t want to talk about it, fine, but something should be done about it.”

“I heard something…”

“Alright well that was ominous and disconcerting.”

“Do you ever feel like we’re just existing?”

“Could you get off?”

“Hmmm… no I don’t want to do that.”

“We starting today with a game of twenty questions?”

“That’s a face you’re making. I don’t know what it’s called but you’re making it.”

“Saw that. Can’t hide that from me.”

“That could mean literally anything. Can I buy an adjective or something?”

“I don’t have the words to describe what this is but you’ll know when you see it.”

“All you got was unpleasant and was most likely the obvious problem in the room?

“Well that’s it, we’re lost.”

“Are you so tired that you ran out of a vocabulary?”

“Just… shh it’s a thing with… another thing on it… it’s yellow… I think.”

“I know someone. A ‘guy’ so to speak.”

“Huh, I didn’t know there was cute to be found.”

“Aren’t you… a person. An interesting person.”

“You’ll probably have to make me.”

“Me? Being dramatic? Nooooo.”

“i hope they all burn in hell.”

“the issue isn’t whether they loved you, it’s how much. too much. love can be a poison.”

“many atrocities have been done in the name of the greater good.”

“come on. we don’t bite. unless you ask us to.”

“but i couldn’t… i couldn’t stop being around you, and loving you, and wanting you. i still can’t stay away.”

“i’d much rather you licked my wounds for me.”

“you decide your fate—your choices. not me.”

“i’m surprised there aren’t more mirrors in this house, since you seem to love looking at yourself so much.”

“i heard you begging for someone, anyone, to get you out. i heard you say no.”

“i will kill anyone who harms you. i will kill them, and take a damn long time doing it. go ahead. hate me—despise me for it.”

♚ Do you agree with fandom interpretation of your character? & Has new canon material ever forced you to adjust your headcanons?

♚ Do you agree with fandom interpretation of your character?

Oh god, no. 

A lot of people in the fandom see him as selfish and uncaring of anyone but Clary. I feel like the fandom got stuck with the perception they had of Jace in S1 and refused to move on from there. Honestly, it was all based on how he treated Alec. So many people in the fandom are stuck in the “he was mean to Alec” mindset that I’ve decided to ignore the majority. Nothing that he has done since has changed minds for many of them until 3B where Jace didn’t really have much of a role other than cheerleading.

✍Has new canon material ever forced you to adjust your headcanons?

Rarely. I tend to keep most of my headcanons since canon can get iffy sometimes. One headcanon that I needed to adjust was Jace’s drinking. Jace specifically mentioned in S1 that he didn’t drink and I formed his thoughts and opinions based on that dialogue. That clearly changed in S2 so did my headcanon.
