— The Circle of Raziel (Pt. 1)

morior invictus.

“I hereby render unconditional obedience to the Circle and its principles… I will be ready to risk my life at any time for the Circle, in order to preserve the purity of Idris, and for the mortal world whose safety we are charged”

[generalcollectionparadise]

in each pair of parabatai there is one who is eager to find adventures on his head, and their faithful parabatai who is trying to save him:

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!

I am constantly haunted by my aromantic Robert Lightwood thoughts

Young Jocelyn and Valentine enjoying lunch in Idris.

Fun stuff, I tried using a background this time.

How do you guys think Valentine killed Michael and Johnathan?

Personally, I think he stabbed Michael and then burnt the house down while Johnathan was still alive so he wouldn’t have to do it with as little work and as quickly as possible while still making sure Michael couldn’t pick up his son and manage to escape the fire.

i actually find this so funny. valentine had NO SHAME 😂😂 he used the same speech for everyone, bro didn't even bother to say different things

[helenofblackthorns]

do you guys ever think about how after meeting Valentine, Stephen burned all his things & started dressing just like Valentine. and how Clary describes Jace's room as neat and tidy and empty like it belongs to a monk & not a teenage boy, just like Valentine. because by being Valentine's son, Jace is Stephen's

I am very interested in their relationship, although most likely their friendship was very toxic. Did Luke even realize that Valentine had betrayed him before, even before he handed him the dagger and told him to kill himself? Valentine betrayed him when he framed him, he betrayed their friendship, their parabatai bond... And after that, Luke didn't hate him. And after that, it's Valentine who accuses Luke of betrayal! Ah, I want a story about them!

A little reminder: Luke realized he was in love with Jocelyn when Valentine started dating her. The curse of the parabatai "one woman for two"?

Circle Member of the Week: Stephen Herondale

“When he demanded I leave Amatis, the woman I love, and marry Céline, a girl I did not know, I did as he asked, to my everlasting shame… It was not her fault, but mine. Your mother was an innocent from a family that brutalized her: she wanted only kindness, to feel safe and loved. And though my heart had been given already, I loved her, in my fashion, just as in my heart, I was faithful to Amatis.” - Stephen’s letter to his son

Lemme know who you’d like to see next!

I watched a movie about a sect, and this moment strongly associated Stephen and his relationship to Valentine and the circle. in the end, this smile is fanatically sick. and the fact that Stephen knelt in front of Valentine seems to be canon, judging from the graphic novel by Cassandra Jean...

A moment from the movie "Jackals" 2017; Music - Gothic Lullaby Eric Vargas; The text of Cassandra Clare from Stephen's letter to Jace

Two different results of the parabatai relationship, and they both make you want to cry: It took Waywood a lifetime to realize how strong their love was and how unhappy they were without each other, but only death reunited them🥺

And Valian? Graystern? "and the connection between the parabatai Lucian and Valentine was even stronger than most of the others. Robert could almost feel the flow of energy flowing between them, the strength and love that they exchanged every time they looked at each other." If Robert was right, and they really loved each other once and were like brothers, then what happened to them? Where has this love gone? And all because of Jocelyn… The three of them could live together and be happy. What could be worse than betraying the other half of your soul?💔

I'm emotional about Michael Wayland and Céline Montclaire again.
