Today the filmmaker turns 74. And to this day The Louvre forbids running.

there are 2 kinds of people

Tessa Gray: Is there a word that's a mix between angry and sad?

Jem Carstairs: Malcontented, disgruntled, miserable, desolated.

Will Herondale: Smad.

Am I a good person? No. But do I try to be better every single day? Also no.

seven friendships [2/7] jem carstairs & will herondale, the infernal devices

Jem’s eyes had widened, and then he’d laughed, a soft laugh. “Did you think I did not know you had a secret?” he’d said. “Did you think I walked into my friendship with you with my eyes shut? I did not know the nature of the burden you carried. But I knew there was a burden.” He’d stood up. “I knew you thought yourself poison to all those around you,” he’d added. “I knew you thought there to be some corruptive force about you that would break me. I meant to show you that I would not break, that love was not so fragile. Did I do that?” Will had shrugged once, helplessly. He had almost wished Jem would be angry with him. It would have been easier. He’d never felt so small within himself as he did when he faced Jem’s expansive kindness. He thought of Milton’s Satan. Abashed the Devil stood, / And felt how awful goodness is. “You saved my life,” Will had said.

           THERE HE WAS, AGAIN, SLIPPING INTO THE POLICE STATION LIKE A GHOST, unnoticed & unaccounted for. Nobody else saw him ( & she wasn’t going to try to draw attention to him & lead people to think she was seeing things. She was already the girl who cried wolf — & maybe, if he could slip in unnoticed, he could help her do the same. She needed ANSWERS. ) So she waits by the back door he had slipped through & out he comes, oddly graceful & soundless — she can’t help but admire his skill ( & he doesn’t even look at her! As if she was the one going unseen. ) ❛ You have one minute to tell me how you just did that. ❜ Eyes fall to the folder in his hands & always seeking answers, she has to ask. ❛ & what you were after. ❜ / / / @dustandshadcws

     Focused on his joy about an accomplished misson as he was, it took him a moment to realize the girl was addressing her fierce request at him. Will had not expected to be seen, let alone called out on it and so a moment or two passed before he had gathered his wits again to produce a response. ❝ ---look stunning and dangerous while simply walking through a door? What can I say, I am naturally gifted. ❞ Obviously that was not what she had meant, but he didn’t like being caught unprepared and her sudden appearance had him in need of making up a believable story on the spot (the truth was clearly not an option).      Will’s hands closed a little tighter around the folder he had borrowed from the police station, caution urging him to as he didn’t put it past the strange girl to try and tear it from his grip. She could see him, which meant she was likely a Downworlder. A very beautiful and delicate Downworlder he had never seen before (but given that he was a stranger in a strange town that was not exactly unusual). ❝ And who are you to assume the authority to question me like that? You look just a little too young to be an officer of the law. ❞

For five years it had been his absolute truth. Jem and Will. Will and Jem. Will Herondale lives, therefore Jem Carstairs lives also.

I don’t want to lose you. For fucks sake, I love you so much, and that’s been the case for a long time. I can’t just switch that off. I fucking love you and I’ve made a home in you and the idea of losing you rips me apart. I’m not losing you.

I want a kiss too, Jem.. :(

♥First three in my inbox get kisses ♥ Round 2 ♥ Not accepting 

The opportunity to train didn’t occur as often as it once had. Everyone had focused their attention on other issues recently. While those issues were vital, they also needed to ensure they were prepared to handle them.

It was one of his better days, the illness not threatening to weaken him anytime soon. That fact had allowed him the time to train with his parabatai once again. He remembered when Will hadn’t been as skilled as he was now. Trying to best him became more and more difficult.

Jem had been knocked back more than once and his breathing was coming out heavier now. He pushed stray strands of hair away from his eyes as he made calculations in his mind, intending his next move to disarm Will. Part of him had expected to be taken by surprise and fail…again. That wasn’t the case, however. After he had managed to disarm his parabatai he pinned him against the wall as a definite sign he was the so-called victor.

In that moment he wasn’t sure what came over him. The victorious smirk had started to fade, a softer expression taking its place. His eyes had lowered to Will’s lips, lingering there too long. His eyes closed as he leaned forward and kissed him. It was a gentle kiss as somewhere in the back of his mind he feared Will might not reciprocate.

“Are you going to kiss me, or am I going to have to lie in my journal?”

Meme | Accepting

“I suppose you’re going to have to lie to your journal.” Jem looked up from the music he had been studying. There was a smirk tugging at the corners of his lips. Someone had to catch Will off guard at times and that was a response that might do so.

Jem leaned over to place a kiss on his lips, allowing the moment to last until he needed to pull away for air. He was glad they could have those moments with no one else around. There was silence before he spoke again, “Now I have a question…do you really write things like that in your journal?”
