i don’t hate dom at all, i just hate the way the writers have written jace.
i hate that tv!jace only has time for alec when he needs his help with something, but is never around when alec needs him, and constantly leaves alec and izzy to take the fall for his actions.
i hate that tv!jace somehow thinks he has the right to tell clary who she is and isn’t allowed to be friends with, and who is or isn’t “good enough” for her.
i hate that tv!jace emotionally manipulates alec into making him do things that he is clearly uncomfortable doing, and using “we’re parabatai” and “you’re a man of honor” as an excuse.
i hate that tv!jace doesn’t even bother to stop and listen to alec’s advice or concerns (despite him being trained as a leader and a soldier his ~entire~ life, just immediately disregards it, but has all the time in the world to listen to clary’s ridiculous plans, despite her knowing literally nothing about the shadow world and her plans being reckless and dumb af.
i hate that tv!jace is somehow more concerned with saving clary’s mom so he can eventually get laid than the fate of the entire shadowhunter race..?
i hate that simon and clary have literally shown more concern for alec than his own parabatai has.
i hate that tv!jace goes on about how he and alec ‘swore and oath to protect each other’ and ‘fight side by side’ but when he found out alec was injured he was more concerned with making sure clary would be okay by herself for 5 minutes (which tbh if i was clary i would be insulted. she survived 18 yrs without u i think she’ll be fine for another half an hour)
i hate that tv!jace didn’t even ask alec ~why~ he was getting married, just expressed his immediate disapproval, and then had the audacity to try and use alec’s feelings against him.
most of all i hate that tv!jace is a fuckboy
The only time Clary said something i agree with (”Isabelle made this happens.”) Jace has to cut in and ruins everything.
People are confusing love with respect. You can boil it down to “Does Jace care about Alec?”, but it’s not a matter of a lack of love.
Jace obviously loves Alec, because parabatai or not, they grew up with each other. They’re brothers as well as best friends, but that doesn’t mean Jace RESPECTS Alec. We’ve seen that he doesn’t from the first episode, because unlike Izzy, who tries to coax Alec into breaking the rules because she believes in the end it’ll help save someone. Jace breaks them, because he believes he’s above them (and he’s more or less right, seeing how Maryse treats Alec) but he doesn’t factor in that he’s the only one of the kids getting a pass. He believes that as long as he doesn’t die, The Clave will be happy, even if it sets off a chain of unfortunate events, which meeting Clary has.
So Jace loves Alec, but thus far, he hasn’t stopped for a single second to look at what will happen to Alec if they keep disobeying the rules, and unfortunately, I think this is where the arranged marriage will come into play. To prove to his parents and The Clave that he’s serious about making amends for their repeated misbehavior, Alec is going to agree to marry a woman (probably a proposed idea to prove himself, gain the Branwell’s alliance, and just maybe Maryse finds out that Alec isn’t straight). So I’m interested in seeing how Jace will spin this, because he and Alec still have that fist fight coming up, and the more we see of Jace disregarding Alec, the more it’s easy to see why they may end up at such odds.
I don’t get why people are excited about this video x
“Jace is defending Alec” what? He isn’t defending Alec.
Simon is doing that (strangely)
Simon just stated the truth. He said to Jace that he treats Alec like a lapdog, and that’s true (in tv show Jace actually treats Alec like his personal toy).
And Jace replied “Clary doesn’t love you, you’ll always be just her bff bla bla” WHAT? JACE C’MOM! He can make efforts to explain his behavior towards Alec. He has no excuses.
And then “You don’t get to talk about Alec” okay that was absolutely pathetic.
Jace babe, Alec is NOT your puppy, he’s a fucking person, he is not owned by you, people can talk about him, expecially when they’re trying to defend him from your inexcusable behavior.
Alec is his own person, he doesn’t need Jace to boss him around.
Let’s face the truth. Jace (in these past episodes) is acting like a jerk. He didn’t defende Alec, he didn’t protect him. They don’t even look like two parabatai, and that’s hurting my feels 😦
Jace loves Alec like crazy, I need to see this love.
(Shadowhunters producers do something about Jace, he’s not like that)
Someone: I’m a proud member of Jace Defense Squad
Me: Ewwww, keep it away from me
I’m totally not about to start a killing spree. Happy and calm (^▽^)
Okay, now listen here you little shit. I don’t care who you are or what you want but if you want to stress me out at least don’t be a coward and do it off-anon.
Let me tell you that even if Alec Lightwood was an unimportant, straight person who would be portrayed by an extremely stupid actor, I would still protect him with my life because fact is, he’s being treated like shit by the person he loves the most. Nothing can excuse the way Jace acts towards Alec. N O T H I N G .
This has nothing to do with Alec being gay or closeted or whatnot. This has to do with Alec risking his life for a self-centered little brat and in return being shouted at and being blamed for everything, being tossed around like a soccer ball and eventually being the one to get shit for all that went wrong, by his parents and the clave.
