City Of Bones - Blog Posts

the way people boil down the incest plot lines in tmi to pure cringy nastiness is one of my biggest pet peeves.

the "you're my sister" scene is actually heartbreaking because it's coming from an abused sixteen year old who's abuser saw him finding strength and self worth in love, said "absolutely not", and proceeded to make him feel a level of self loathing so profound he thought he was demonic.

it's supposed to be uncomfortable to read because it's a tragic form of abuse inflicted on both jace and clary and to boil it down to "oh well it was incest fic and i hope cc doesn't have brothers and blah blah blah" just tells me you lack the ability to think critically about the series or just missed the entire point.

The Mortal Instruments, City of Bones: Jace Wayland: ISTP 8w7

Ti: Jace tells Clary, “I’ve been hunting demons all my life and in that time I’ve never seen an angel.” Jace believes in logic and evidence, and doesn’t believe in anything he sees as illogical. Jace tells Clary that he sees music as having “no room for emotion”- he sees it as a system with a practical use, for killing demons. He describes the components of music- describes the “mathematical combination” of rhythm, “a simple representation of notes- no interpretation” to “expose demons.” He knows how it works on a fundamental level and this knowledge allows him to use it to his advantage. He factors logic into all of his decisions- he brings Simon along to get Clary to trust him, and for the same reason saves Luke’s life at Clary’s request- not because it is what he wants or is the moral thing to do, but because it serves logic.

Se: Jace is impulsive and acts in the moment. He trusts Clary and Simon based on gut “impulse” because he sees Clary’s potential and realizes that allowing Simon to come along will convince Clary to trust him. Jace is skilled in combat and does most of the fighting throughout City of Bones, relying on instinct in fights. He knows how to manuever his body and is a graceful fighter with fluid movements.

Ni: Jace prefers instinct over planning, but is still very intuitive- he can sense that he can trust Clary right away, but sometimes misinterpets the thoughts and emotions of others, like when Clary explains her kiss with Jace to Simon, and Jace takes it as meaning that the kiss wasn’t “special” to Clary, relying on an immediate interpretation of what is right in front of him, which he believes is more logical, as opposed to reading between the lines.

Fe: Jace can be blunt and stoic, and at times seems unemotional because he prefers to trust logic in his decision making. He tells Clary when she asks him to save Luke- “he’s a dead man, I can’t help him.” He wants to be practical and get Clary to safety, but realizes it is more logical to help her to earn her trust, and also because he cares about her feelings and knows Luke is important to her.

Enneagram: 8w7

Jace, in Clary’s words, “acts like nothing ever hurts him.” He places a lot of importance on being “strong,” because the man who raised him enforced that idea to him his whole life. Jace is also a shadowhunter, a job that doesn’t allow him to express vulnerability- he can’t allow himself to feel. He tells Clary when talking about training an animal that his abusive father then killed- “I cried all night and then I never cried again.” Jace believes there is no room for emotion in his life- he believes his own strength is what enables him and his friends to survive. He is strong to protect them, always saving those weaker than him from danger. His 7 wing is impulsive and he is double feeling repressed- he never fails to act on a goal when he needs to. He lacks the passivity of a 9 wing but seems to have a fun loving side he only shows to Clary.

City of Bones

By Cassandra Clare (Sorry I forgot to take a picture before I returned it) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I absolutely loved this book and I can’t wait to read the rest of the series. If you like demonology and paranormal stories I highly recommend this to you. It had a little bit of romance as well but if you’re not into that don’t worry; there’s a fun little plot twist. All in all this book was soooo fun to read and I highly recommend it to everyone.
