Beloved moot said it better and more concisely than I did but
Jace can never win but he’s always competing but he’s also already won.
Ain’t that the way with the god of war I guess.
Something something Porter Hadestown etc etc. he’s grown so afraid that he’ll lose what he owns that what he doesn’t know is that what he’s defending is already gone.
I love my beloved sb moots but it is imperative when I import to everyone part of the reason I like them so much and it’s fucked up is that there have always been 5 Jaces. This is not a bit. 5 Jaces sounds like a bit but. Jaceprime is the center of Porter’s world which makes him different from all the other disposable Jaces. But Jaceprime also was built on top of a person that was dead since the beginning of FHJY. Porter loves who Jace is—was—but also loves who he thinks Jace can be and should be. But the thing is. Porter loves who Jace was (real, first Jace) while also loving the idea of Jace & who he thinks Jace can and should (post shatterstar Jace). But Porter also loves who Jace is (post shatterstar Jace) while also still being hung up on the person this jace could be. Used to be. (Real, first Jace). He grieves someone who is still here. Am I talking in circles here
#the first sb thing I ever wrote I was very convinced that Porter wanted to actualize Jace the same way he wanted to actualize Gorgug#and wondered if Portered really loves Jace or the person he thinks Jace could be#but I also realized Porter is also a guy who longs for something glorious and already gone#he wants to recapture what was lost#and I was like. I think that is in there too.#that’s why I think he loves who Jace IS/WAS as well#I also think Jace is both moved and perturbed by all this#it’s moving that Porter sees so much in him#but also. he wishes Porter loved his old self as he was. what if this IS my best self#but things can’t be changed. so he wants to be loved as he is post-shatterstar so badly. so Porter missing him is like#everything he wants and everything that could devastate him#shut up Janelle#Starbreaker#4 Jaces incident#also it’s like. ok so when you want to play god it’s beautiful and true and profound#but when I want to do it by jacecloning they’re hollow facsimiles. got it#lololololol
