Sebastian Morgenstern - Blog Posts
don't ever talk to me or my morgenstern siblings cope au ever again
my beautiful princess with a disorder
i used to separate them distinctly in my mind but this reread is making me kind of unable to do that..
i gotta clarify first that i think sebastian needs to be punished for what he did. i don't think any of what i'm about to say absolves him of anything he's done.
that being said, i think sebastian was so tragically doomed by the narrative that he never had a choice but to make the choices he did. he never had a chance to be anything else because of valentine and jocelyn (although jocelyn to a far lesser extent than valentine). every step of his existence from conception to death is stripped of agency. every choice he makes is done in the shadows of valentine stripping away his humanity and mercilessly abusing him until he's a perfect weapon. and then the bastard has the nerve to be ashamed of what he created.
i just wish sebastian had gotten a fucking chance to be anything other than jocelyn's shame and valentine's weapon.

Jace: Mine killed herself after my fathers’s death, I never knew her and I was dug out of her corpse.
Percy: Well, we have the Mist
Jace: We have glamour AND runes
Percy: My eyes is a beautiful sea green
Jace: Mine is gold and I’m naturally blond.
Percy: I almost got killed a million times in my series and I came out of Tartarus.
Jace: Big deal, I actually died and the Angel Raziel raised me back from the dead.
Percy: I have a movie.
Jace: So do I, and I have a Neflix series though the actor is not as stunningly attractive as I am.
Percy: I was betrayed by my so called good friend, Luke.
Jace: My adoptive father and brother are the villan of my series and I not only thought Valentine was my real father but I was also connected to Sebastian.
Percy: Ugh....I give up, I challenge you to a sword fight.
*Jace lights up a Seraph Blade and twists it expertly, flipping his hair
Percy: Umm, nevermind.

Inej throwing her knife at the Darkling has the same energy as Emma throwing hers at Sebastian in City of Heavenly Fire
Valentine: Voyages are like children
Valentine: You delete the ones that don’t succeed
Jocelyn: wHat?
SO APPARENTLY ALL OF THE SHADOWHUNTERS IS BASED OFF OF AN I*CEST FIC OF THE WEASLYS?? HOW DID I NOT KNOW BUT ALSO LIKE ITS ALL COMING TOGETHER the goblet of fire and adamas (which is what the mortal cup is also made of) are described as virtually the same material the mortal sword and gryffindors sword the family similarities • the fairchilds ——>the weaselys • the morgensterns ———> the malfoys (which explains why jaces attitude is all “i’m an ass even though everyone sees i just dont care that much about being an ass as i pretend” cause he was brought up/taught by what is essentially an actually competent at being a bigoted dick version of lucius malfoy) -first impression jace ——-> first impression draco mallory -same pretentious dick vibe but jace has growth while malfoy kind of... festers • the lightwoods ———> the potters • HENRY BRANWELL ——> ARTHUR WEASLY • THE WHOLE DEAD TWIN THING bigoted cults ⁃ valentine ——> voldemort ⁃ robert lightwood ——> snape in the sense that he turns out in the end to be just chill enough for some characters to forgive but is still.. ⁃ hodge starkwether (the traitor tutor) ——> petittigrew ⁃ sebastian/jonathan morgenstern ——> what draco thought he was ⁃
i honestly don’t think authors grasp the effect dark haired, morally grey characters have on their readers. like i mean they can literally kill a man and most of us will still be here like
