Jonathan and Clary Morgenstern from “The Mortal Instruments” series by @cassieclare
My english isn’t perfect, so I hop you will understand my thought behind the artwork.
*might include spoilers*
It was inspired by a few songs:
*”Hysteria” by Muse
*”Save Me” by Globus
*”curl up and die” by Relient k
*”The Horror of Our Love” by Ludo
and finally, “Animal I have become” by Three Days Grace -which influenced me the most.
I think that Jonathan is the most human character in TMI. It might sound weird, but I really relate to him. I don’t think he is bad or evil, and I don’t think that he is acting the way he is just because of the demon blood inside him. The consequence of his life made him the way he is. his own mother abandoned him. his father, the one person in the world that he wanted to impress, denied him. Valentine blamed Jonathan for being the reson the love of his life left. he even liked better to pretend that Jace was his son. but even though, Jonathan yearned for his attention and to be recognized by him. and then he died.
I think that Clary can see spot of light in him. and while reading TMI, I felt like he needs her.
she is his silver lining. his savior. his redemption.
“I can’t escape this hell
So many times I’ve tried
But I’m still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
I can’t escape myself
So many times I’ve lied
But there’s still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Some what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can’t control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can’t escape this hell
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
This animal
So what if you can see
The darkest side of me
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it’s not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
This animal I have become…”
