#julian and jenny

I will never understand that Tom Locke ended up with Jenny at the end of the Forbidden Game trilogy... Although, I think that if L.J Smith had ended up writing a 4th volume, they would not have ended up together, but the fact The fact that this is the case annoys me. I have nothing against the fact that Jenny doesn't end up with Julian, but she ends up with Tom, I am against it. Not as horrible as Alina ending up with Mal, because at least Tom has positively evolved but just... he's a boring character for me. I hope the series that adopts the trilogy takes liberties and ends Jenny & Julian together, or just doesn't end with Tom.

One of the ships of my childhood. Literally the first light / shadow pairing I've had in my life. The start of a recursion for me.

I've reread The Forbidden Game several times throughout my teen and young adult years, both in novel form and audiobook, and it's never explicitly said that Julian is older, the same age, or younger than Jenny. However, while scrolling through LJ Smith's official website, I found this tidbit in her summary of the last book in the trilogy, The Kill:

"Child-Julian"

I think his character would've benefited greatly had this been explicitly stated in the book. Otherwise, we're left to assume that Julian's fascination with Jenny mimics other love interests in LJ's works, specifically the much older, Civil-War era Stefon and Damian Salvatore in TVD. I've seen people critique Julian for being fixated on a child while he was presumably a fully-fledged mature Shadowman, but this is not the case.

He was, in a way, a young child rescued by Jenny when she opened the closet door all those years ago; no fucking wonder he fell in love at first sight. He's deep in puppy love.

I could write more, lmk if ya'll want an essay lol

Mal Oretsev 🤝 Tom Locke, for having managed to obtain the heroin (Alina Starkov & Jenny Thornton) at the end when clearly, they should not have...

when your card declines at therapy and they bring up this scene from chapter seven of the kill:

“Couldn’t you just have come and asked?” she murmured.

She’d said the same thing to him in the tower of the paper house. Didn’t that ever occur to you? That you could just appear at my front door, no games, no threats, and just ask me? But in the tower the words had been part of a ruse to get free, and she hadn’t really thought about them herself.

Now she did. What if Julian had come to her, appearing some night out of the shadows while she was walking home, say, and told her that he loved her? What would she have done?

She would have been afraid. Yes. But after the fear? If Julian had come, offering gifts, gentle, looking as vulnerable as he did now?

and the way julian brain goes absolutely haywire when she asks him basically the same question at chapter fourteen of the hunter because he’s an absolute loser and didn’t actually think about that?

Jenny took a deep breath. “I probably would have come to you a lot earlier if you’d just straight out asked me. Didn’t that ever occur to you? That you could just appear at my front door, no games, no threats, and just ask me?”

He looked disconcerted. “Not exactly. . .”

“You’re too cynical. Do you know, I think the way you look at things has made you blind. You’ve gotten so hardened that you think you have to fight the universe to get what you want. To—sort of wrestle it out of people.”

“And—don’t I?”

“Not always,” Jenny said. Meeting his gaze directly, she said, “Sometimes there’s a much simpler solution. There are some things you can’t force, Julian, and you can’t buy them, either. They have to be given, for free. That’s what I want to give you.”

His fascination was complete.

Saw this headcanon generator thing trending on tiktok so I wanted to try it out

[natjennie]

I loveeeee that Mike can't see the ghosts and it is ALWAYS funny when he talks to them looking up or in the wrong direction, when he yells at them and they're in a completely different room. when the ghosts talk to and about him and judge what he's doing or follow along with his stuff. I love it.

So, 100% I copied @runes-ended-my-marriage; recreating my own headcannon character-appearances looked too fun. If there had been an option to cover my character in bees, I would have.

Me, when someone comes to explain to me how much I have a deviant morality, that I am abnormal, disgusting, or whatever, to ship this or that fictitious couple, that obviously I shouldn't ship at all.
