It is so funny to me how Simon is constantly getting put into the most dangerous and dire situations and every time, and I mean, Every Single Time, he wins.

Gets turned into a rat? Bites the vampire holding him hostage.

The whole group is about to be killed by a big demon? Simon kills it in one shot.

Gets turned into a vampire and kidnapped as a sacrifice? Not only escapes but also becomes immune to the sun.

Vampires want him dead for being immune to the sun? Gets THE LITERAL MARK OF CAIN AND NOW IS UNKILLABLE.

Summons an angel, and the angel wants to kill him? Survives because of the Mark of Cain.

Sacrifices himself to a demon? only turns human and loses his memories, no big deal, he can now become a shadowhunter and get his memories back. It's not like he actually liked being a vampire in the first place.

He literally was the most powerful being walking the earth at some point, and he was just a guy in a shitty band.

Hillarious.

The literal definition of fucking around and never finding out.

I can’t overshare because that would be very humiliating but everyone else should overshare because I like to know everything

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

they're saying you actually need to open the document and write words in order to have something written...pls someone tell me that isn't true

[redstonedust]

problem with tv shows today is i think a lot of them want to be movies. 90 minute episodes with full cgi and a plot so streamlined theres no time for filler is not a tv show to me. tv shows need a low budget so they can afford to send the characters on weird detours to flesh out the universe. its healthy. its good for the ecosystem. you need a show wiki writers and tv tropes cataloguers can sink their teeth into.

Thinking about The Infernal Devices from an analytical lens and I have to say... Jem is Will's mirror in more ways than one.

Everyone talks about the color scheme, one light one dark, about how Jem is kind where Will is abrasive, etc etc, but more importantly--- without even the illusion of being cursed Jem does pretty much exactly what Will does.

There is a wall between Jem and the rest of society. He is kind to Charlotte and rarely teases Henry, but the London Shadowhunters discuss him as this distant tragedy. The poor foreign boy who is weak enough to die of a drug addiction. They don't know him.

Nobody knows him, except maybe for Will.

Just as Will is hellbent on keeping people from loving him, Jem refuses to make deeper connections with people because he will die anyway. He is just as lonely as Will, hell, in some ways Jem has even less... because Will befriends people, has connections with them, even if he is purposefully an ass about it to uphold their distance.

But Jem has truly only allowed Will to get close to his heart.

It's not that Jem thinks that people don't like him, but by being kind and affable and quiet about his suffering he's trying to slip from their hearts and memories quietly. Where Will is loud and abrasive, Jem's subtle and accompanied by a smile.

It's the exact same thing Will does.

It is just as misguided.

Of course, Jem is loved. Of course, his death will hurt those around him.

All he's achieved is that he's as lonely as Will is. As desperate for a way out.

That's why they BOTH need Tessa in the end. Someone who sees them, someone who forces them out of their protective shells and back out into the world. It is no coincidence that Jem becomes reckless and selfish in his love for Tessa - she is forcing him to be memorable. To be a person and not just a boy dying quietly.

Sophie (and later Will) note that they hadn't known Jem could laugh like that. Be loud like that. Love like that. Because, well, just as Will denied himself his feelings, Jem did too.

The tragedy is just that Will's desperation allows him to break his curse, and Jem's need for being alive is what kills him faster - and then denies him his feelings wholesale.

rereading tid rn and really the tragedy of that series is never the romance, it's always will and jem. because while yes obviously the epilogue of clockwork princess with will's death will always be devastating, tessa did get to live out a full human lifetime with him, and got the second chance to be with jem for a lifetime as well at the end of cohf (unless something happens in twp which if so ooooooh you are never hearing the end of it from me). but will and jem never got that with each other. they spent all but five years of will's life with jem being a shadow of his former self, barely a person anymore, and those five years they did have were overtaken by jem dying and will thinking he was cursed, leaving him guilt-ridden for letting jem love him. and then when jem finally gets to be a real person again, it's too late. will is already gone. they never got to be with each other with both of them happy and healthy. GOD its just so devastating.
