I’ll Be Honest, I Don’t Always Like The Way People Talk About What Happened To James. I Feel Like

i’ll be honest, i don’t always like the way people talk about what happened to james. i feel like people let themselves be tricked by the supernatural element of the bracelet into thinking that this can’t possibly happen in real life, when the truth is that what happened to him after the bracelet was put on and everything he felt once it was over is indicative of real life experiences. sure, no one is ever gonna put a magical bracelet on your wrist that forces you to love them, but the bracelet is merely a metaphor for real feelings that real people experience when they’re in such a situation: feeling stuck and trapped, feeling like they’re forced to do things they wouldn’t do otherwise. these are feelings james himself explicitly talks about multiple times in the text. he feels ashamed, he feels disgusted with himself, he feels weak for not getting out of it sooner, he feels sick at the thought of talking about what he experienced with anyone, including the people he feels safest with. these are all feelings drawn from the experiences of real life survivors. so whenever you’re tempted to make a joke about the bracelet, or to feel frustrated that he ‘wasn’t even the one to tell cordelia the truth about the bracelet’, or even to say that some other male character would have handled the situation better, please remember that this might be a sensitive topic for some people on your dash. james is fictional, so he’ll never be hurt by what you’re saying, but the people reading your posts are real.

bi weekly reminder that all of cassie's main characters are teenagers so maybe give them some grace for their shitty choices and don't expect adult level shit from people who's brains aren't even fully developed

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.
