She was the girl at the London Institute who didn't want to be a shadowhunter. She was involved with Tessa's brother?

Quote:

Jessamine Lovelace was a ward of the London Institute until 1878. Jessamine ultimately betrayed them shortly before her death, after which she repented and returned as a ghost guarding the Institute.

I should of knew that. I don't know why I didn't remember her nickname. Or the fact that she died.

Stay to the Lights · 09-14-2014, 10:29 PM

Yeah, prob because it had been a while since the book.

Drunk On You · 09-15-2014, 11:59 PM

One thing that keeps on bugging me. Maybe not bugging me, but what is her deal with incest?

First she made everyone think that Jace and Clary were siblings. And even before it was revealed that they weren't, it didn't stop them from wanting each other.

Then she made Sebestain not in love with Clary but close enough. He didn't want them to rule as siblings, but actual couple. He wanted her to love him more than a brother. Didn't he make a comment to her how in Greece and Rome they used to marry their siblings.

When you really think about it, it's kind of disgusting.

Stay to the Lights · 09-16-2014, 07:42 AM

Yeah. She does use incest quite a bit in this story. I know she came up with the idea before she begun writing. Maybe she likes to be twisted

Drunk On You · 09-16-2014, 10:57 AM

Flowers in the Attic is about incest, and I think that book was pretty big. Which that's the reason I didn't read it.

sourburst · 09-16-2014, 12:44 PM

Well I always picture the incest in this show like a would in historical context. Where bloodlines slept with each other to keep it pure.

That's true.

Jade, you planning on reading the spinoff?

MIPCOM: 'The Mortal Instruments' to Return as TV Series

Stay to the Lights · 10-12-2014, 04:00 PM

Wow. It would work better as a TV series.

Drunk On You · 10-12-2014, 09:26 PM

It would.

But I would hate to see everyone recast.

I wonder if they are going to go from the movie or just start over.

Stay to the Lights · 10-12-2014, 09:53 PM

I have a feeling they'll start over. I can't see all the actors into a TV series. Lily I feel is more a movie actress, the others, some have done TV and have projects..

I guess we'll see.

I do think its better going to TV given the mythology which can be explored more.
