Letter from Jace to Clary (for Kickstarter)

[written for Theresa]

Dear Clary,

You said you wanted me to write you a letter for your birthday, so here I am, writing that letter. At first I thought that maybe you weren’t serious. After all, we live in the same house. We are not separated by time, dimensions, or the turbulent ocean, which are the usual reasons people write letters.

 I thought maybe you were being self-effacing, that you just didn’t want me to go to any trouble, especially when we have wedding planning coming up (hopefully soon—since we’re waiting on a peace process, it could be a while). 

So I came up with the idea of taking you on a flying motorcycle to see the Northern Lights, but when I suggested it you said no, you only wanted a letter. 

I suggested we portal to the south of France and pick lavender and have a picnic, but you said no, you wanted a letter. 

I suggested we use our Shadowhunter skills to break into the Met so you could stand in front of every painting for as long as you want, but you said no, you’d rather have a letter. 

I suggested we portal to the Tokyo International Anime Fair, because I remembered you saying you’d always wanted to go, but you said no, you’d rather have a letter. 

I suggested I could find you the best, most beautiful sword that you’d ever seen, and had your initials carved into it, or a subtle message like “I <3 Jace” but you said no, you’d rather have a letter.

And then I realized that while we have had an amazing time together all these years, and  we’ve always gone around the world and seen incredible things, that things are different now. Now there is a shadow hanging over everything, the shadow of the situation in Alicante. And I realized that what you actually wanted is something you can keep with you that reminds you of hope.

So let me tell you, in this letter, why you should hope. 

Because no matter what we are facing, we are still us, Jace and Clary. We still have our friends and the people who love us. We have faced so much together, and we have always come out of the darkness into light. And in the end, I believe that love will always win out against hate, because I have faced some of the greatest evil that has ever been known, and the strength I have found in how much I love you has always carried me through. So keep this letter with you, even the in dark moments. Especially in the dark moments. I hope that it brings you comfort to know that I love you more than life itself. And if it doesn’t, remember: You could have had a flying motorcycle ride to see the Northern Lights, and you turned it down.

yours, 

Jace

“The railroad is to travel what the brothel is to love—just as convenient, but just as inhumanly mechanical and deadly monotonous.”

– Leo Tolstoy, from a letter to Ivan Turgenev

Wonder what he would've thought about today's vehicles

Decided to finish this one for Valentine's Day, but got it ready too early so I decided to post it anyways, maybe I will make something new for Valentine.

COORIER is based on the Luzon Bleeding-Heart (Gallicolumba luzonica) mixed with a Mailman/Delivery Courier

It has the ability Overcoat as a reference to the phrase “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” often associated with the postal office

Querida yo a los 30:

La vida es rara, todos los años, todo el tiempo. El tema es hacer las cosas aunque mueras de miedo, tienes un posgrado en eso. Deseo de corazón, del mío que es tuyo, que a esta fecha haya un poco más de claridad en la vida. Que todos los procesos llevan a algo, pero también la magia está en el proceso. Que la ansiedad poco a poco se borre y no te aflijan los treinta, porque no tienen nada de malo, al contrario, como estos días te lo dijo un amigo: en los treintas estamos en el principio del resto de la vida. Qué heavy suena tener treinta, pero qué bendición también. No pasa nada con esas canitas que se andan asomando, ni esos pliegues en la cara, que finalmente llegaron como resultado de reir y llorar tanto. De corazón honesto deseo que en estas fechas del año estemos fluyendo mejor y podamos ir a donde queramos pero a la vez a donde nos lleve el viento. Recuerda que "el verdadero éxito es contribuir con la felicidad de los que te rodean y llenar de amor y cosas buenas tu entorno". Que no siempre el dinero o el prestigio indican algo, y a ti y a mí tampoco es como que nos importe mucho. Todo el amor que das se regresa, y no pasa nada con decir lo que sientes. Está bien nuestro ideal de una vida tranquila, pequeña, simple y amable. Como las grandes cosas que son las pequeñas. Respirar despacito y ser un ave migratoria, pero también un ave que vuelve a casa. Recuerda que no pasa nada, y que si pasa, va a pasar.

Tu yo de 10 que le estaba agarrando la onda al arte y tu yo de 20 que estaba entendiendo la medicina, te abrazan fuerte, fuerte, y son la suma de lo que traes en el pecho, entre las pleuras, en el mediastino...

Abrázate mucho, y di muchas veces lo mucho que te quieres, hasta que te lo creas...

Feliz cumpleaños a mí :3
