I love this so much
They’re all super close and enjoy spending time together
Kit practically WORSHIPS Tessa
Jem spends a lot of his free time just singing, because his lungs are finally able to support all that air
He sings beautifully, which made Kit make so many remarks on how Mina will inherit his singing voice, which she does not
She does have an incredible voice, but it’s nothing like Jem’s; it’s Tessa’s, but they don’t know that because she never sings
Jem keeps denying Mina’s physical similarity to him, on the account of “she’s so beautiful, who could she POSSIBLY look like besides Tessa?”
Kit picks up painting, and since his bedroom window faces the garden, it’s perfect inspiration
Kit introduces Jem to rock and metal, and to everyone’s surprise, he loves it
Mina is besties (and eventually Parabatai) with Clace’s future kid, creating the next Carstairs-Herondale duo
Kit secretly learns Mandarin to surprise Jem, but he sucks at keeping it secret so Jem has to pretend to be surprised
Kit still has no idea he knew
The moment Jem and Tessa realize that Kit was deprived of love as a child, they shower him with love and do their best to give him the childhood he never had
A part of that is Tessa reading to him and Mina before bed (‘The Beautiful Cordelia’ anyone?)
The first time Kit calls Jem ‘Dad’, he cries
Tessa doesn’t cry when he calls her ‘Mum’, but she comes very close to it
Jem teaches Kit how to play the piano, because Kit thinks the violin is too hard (he’s right)
Mina, however, LOVES the violin
Kit buys her a violin of her own for one Christmas, and he manages to do so without complaining about the prices
Jem is a surprisingly good cook
Tessa is not
Always a good day when Clary and Jace show up
Mina has a period where she tries to learn every language she can; Mandarin from Jem, Welsh from Will’s ghost (because obviously he’s there), Indonesian and Spanish from Magnus, Hebrew from Simon
Simon loves hanging out at their place because of all the books Tessa has
Kit takes Jem to a ‘Sabaton’ concert once, and manages to convince him that ear protection won’t stop him from hearing the music
Jem enjoys every second of it, and also enjoys not having any damage done to his hearing
Mina loves climbing trees
She chooses to fight with a spear, and not even she is sure why, but she enjoys it
She also gets really, really good at it
Jem tends to tell her ‘use your voice. Sing, scream, talk, lecture. Because you might not always have it.’ And she takes him seriously and never hesitates to speak her mind
She’s the flower girl when Kit and Ty inevitably get married
Jem gets introduced to cars, and is absolutely terrified of them despite Tessa being an excellent driver
Kit tries not to laugh at him for it, but kinda fails
Jem doesn’t mind
Kit wants to study abroad, but Tessa doesn’t allow it
He goes to a university in London instead
"The state of the hair of the New York Institute is strong, and with the exception of a single mishap, which we are recovering from, we foresee only positive developments in the domain of our hair in the months and years to come."
Kit, who ran away to another continent when Ty turned him down: guys it's not funny
Julian, who probably gave Emma a UTI after the beach scene: it really is
Will, who called Tessa a prostitute and insulted her at every opportunity: I can't stop laughing
Alec, who fell down the stairs after his first date with Magnus: you're right, Kit. you should drunk dial him.
Magnus, who at one point dated Camille Belcourt: I'll get the wine
Simon, who accidentally cheated on Isabelle once: I'll dial
Jace:
Simon's mom's an alcoholic. Not a good thing, but I'm overcome with feels about Climon and the Fray family helping him and Rebecca cope. Headcannons, pleaaaase??
Oh my gosh, yes! So many. I see Elaine as what you might consider a functional alcoholic, at least at first. She drank to sleep, to forget. It was cheaper than sleeping pills, and with none of the side effects she didn’t like. It didn’t interfere with her work, usually, and she honestly thought Rebecca and Simon didn’t notice. Besides… it helped her cope.
Being a single mom with a full time job was hard, watching her husband die in front of her was harder. Drugs were a big no in their little community, her parents would have killed her, but a bit of drinking at night was acceptable, as long as it wasn’t on a holy day or anything. She moved on from a few glasses of wine to dry martinis in the evening, to settle her brain so she could get Simon and Rebecca down, to drinking mid afternoon to handle her headaches so she could get through work. It made her sloppy, she knew it, but she didn’t drive, she made sure her kids were taken care of, surely it was fine?

Nobody:
Simon biting Jace and Alec in TMI:
jace being simon’s defender/guard dog will never not be funny to me:
1. we have all of cofa, especially that scene where him and jordan argue and he’s like uh i can protect him all by myself tysm
2. “i could have killed you” “i would have let you”
3. cog when jace tried breaking simon out of prison
4. tftsa when jace visits to train him/check up on him
5. in the land i lost where he’s like simon did just fine when lily tells alec that simon didn’t bite him right
6. in tlbotw when simon wants to go home
7. when jace threatens asmodeus to back off from simon in cohf
and most of these were because of clary initially but we all know the rest are because simon is jace’s only real non-family/gf friend lmao
i really hope we get scene where jace finally admits that he cares about simon or at least considers simon a close friend in the kickstarter books or even the black volume of the dead or something bc it’s just so amusing
LIKE ALINE THINKING JACE WAS IN LOVE WITH SIMON!! that was comedy gold.
i love jimon goodbye
EXACTLYYYYYYY. Jimon is for LIFERSSSS. I’m glad I have other people who throughly enjoyed Jace and Simons ‘friendship’ as much as I do!! I always thought it was underrated in the fandom.
I’m a truther that Simon was Jace’s best friend in a sense (Alec is like his brother, his parabatai there on a whole other level than best friendship I fear)
Also Jace constantly calling Simon “his” or “our” whenever someone tried to kidnap… STAND UP JACE HERONDALE!! Also when Jace said he enjoyed it when Simon bit him😭😭 TOO FUNNY.
Also, from what is implied, the only TMI gang members that survive in Thule ARE Simon and Jace!! “I’ll kill you jace herondale” - Thule Simon. When I say I need ANGST when these two meet again? Exactly. I will NOT be satisfied unless Thule!Simon is the one to kill Jace, that’s all I want in TWP!
TYSM FOR THE ASK!!!!!!! Jimon is one the best friendships in TSC exactly 🙂↕️🙂↕️
I love the idea that Simon just has really horrendous posture and it rectifies itself after he ascends. Like, Jace is a solid inch taller until Simon stands up straight and they’re the same height. Jace absolutely stands on his tippy toes whenever people ask them to compare height, and pouts when he gets called out for it.
I known canonically Jace is taller than Simon. But picture this. Simon being exactly two inches taller than Jace. But it only happened after Simon ascended. Jace is still pissed about it. Simon is all smug but without actually pointing it. Jace starts styling his hair with some spikes, he is so not letting Simon win., Etc.
when tf did i become a jimon shipper
hmm tall dark haired born into a prestigious lineage had something going on with their parabatai high position in the goverment adopted a child has a son named max was hit on by a vampire was racist for a hot second is it robert or alec lightwood
Why would kit ever speak to simon about school? random ass shit 😂
just cus i think itd be funny
also Tessa, Jem, Magnus, and Ty have never been to mundane school, at least not for the last 100years, but Simon and Clary have,,
maybe he just wants to ask questions that nobody else he's in normal contact with has an answer to (?)
also theres not enough Simon in these books, i think him and Kit would talk about anime together
