What I really enjoy about Luke and Maryse's interactions in City of Ashes is that they clearly grew up separate from each other. Both of them are in their late thirties, but they hold this image in their heads of who the other was when they were teenagers, when they were enthralled by Valentine's hateful rhetoric.

From how he describes them to Clary, it's clear that Luke looks down on the Lightwoods. He says that they were Valentine's closest lieutenants and the most dedicated to his doctrine, and yet he ignores the fact that he was Valentine's second-in-command for most of the Circle's existence. He knows that he had doubts at the time and then grew into a kind and accepting adult, but Robert and Maryse appeared dedicated to Valentine from the outside and have been separate from Luke ever since, so to him they must still be as cruel as they ever were. He sees himself as superior because he got out first, but forgets that he stuck around until Valentine literally told him to kill himself, while Robert and Maryse surrendered to the Clave voluntarily.

Then there's Maryse, who's still bitter over Luke's betrayal. Not because he turned against Valentine, but because he and Jocelyn set a trap that ended with every member of the Circle (other than the Lightwoods, Hodge, and Michael) being killed by the combined forces of the Clave and the Downworlders. Of course Maryse is being pretty hypocritical here, since she was fully in on the plan to murder a bunch of unarmed diplomats, but she does have a point that Luke and Jocelyn did nothing to protect their former friends. Their plan saved lives in the long run, but it resulted in far more bloodshed that night than Valentine's simple massacre.

After Valentine's supposed death, Jocelyn, Luke, Robert, and Maryse all went into a sort of retirement in New York City. For Luke and Jocelyn it was their mundane employment and for Maryse and Robert is was their place as Institute heads, but both couples spent fifteen years raising their kids and learning to be better people. By the time we see them in TMI, all four former circle members had come to terms with how atrocious Valentine had been and dedicated themselves to doing better with their adult lives, but since it happened in relative isolation, they all still remember each other as they were at age twenty. To Maryse, Luke is still the man who left his friends to die, and to Luke, Maryse is still the woman who stuck by a murderer until the end.

I just think it's very interesting that there are so few survivors of the Circle left in 2007, and barely any of them communicate with each other at all. Amatis was left alone in Idris, Hodge felt so abandoned by the Clave that he went back to Valentine, Robert and Maryse trapped themselves in a loveless marriage rather than give up the illusion of stability they'd built for their kids, Luke and Jocelyn denied their past until it came to find them, and Michael was killed with his family in a scheme that would never have worked if a single person came to check up on him in the ten years Valentine inhabited his life. They could have found a community through this common experience, but instead they saw each other as monsters for the things they all did.

The fact that the only adult with common sense in the first half of tmi was Luke is insane to me

Like he was always trying to protect clary and jace even tho they were impulsive as shit and also in COA when everyone was blaming Jace for EVERYTHING and treating him like shit bc he was valentine's son and he went to visit valentine bc Jace knew that all his loved ones were hating him, and the only one with enough braincells to say: "hey I think if the kid is going to a psychopath that abused him as a child, looking for comfort bc he doesn't have anyone on his side is bc we adults FUCKED UP" WAS LUKE AND EVEN THEN THE LIGHTWOODS AND THE INQUISITOR JUST DECIDED TO IGNORE HIM AND PUT JACE ON JAIL?????????

I love lukie pookie NO ONE could make me hate u🤞🏼

Does anyone else just randomly remember that Sister Celophas is Luke Garroway's mother? And that she left Amatis to raise him when they were still very small? Cause that's wild. We don’t even know why she left them! Was it after her husband died? Was she sick, similarly to Jem becoming Brother Zachariah?

Okay, I honestly don't understand why Jocelyn chose Valentine out of the two of them, with his fascist hairstyle and the eternal expression of a rested bitch on his face, and that's not to mention his shitty character. Luke is a hundred times more attractive, and in general, he's a good guy❤️😍 who always took care of her, unlike the fascist

Moreover, she had managed to ignore him for so many years🤷

p.s. Oh, and no wonder Valentine got jealous and decided to get rid of Luke-deep down in his disgusting soul, he knew that his parabatai was better than himself!

Isabelle: Nothing is free. Clary: Love is free! Simon: Friendship is free! Luke: Knowledge is free. Alec: Sleep is free. Jace: Death is free. Magnus: Everything is free if you take it without asking.

When I reread city of ashes I found that there were many funny moments I was laughing so much. The same applies to city of bones actually

Poor Luke, forced to wake up every day and endure this bullshit.

Robert: If I, hypothetically, liked men, I would think Stephen is kinda cute.

Michael: Stephen? I think Luke is more attractive.

Michael: Hypothetically.

IMO out of any of the circle members, ironically Luke is the one who got the best punishment.

Obviously Luke being turned into a werewolf was not an intentional punishment by the clave, however it is probably the best karma any of the members got.

I think it’s interesting because now Luke quite literally has to live the life of the same people that he actively targeted and tried to hurt. Even funnier when you realise absolutely none of his old friends would help him, why? Because he was a downworlder. His own sister turned him away. And now he is try and make connections with the same people he (again) actively hunted.

Compare it to Maryse & Robert, who literally got the NY institute, and than to Luke who has turned into a different race.

VERY IJBOL
