I wanted them to be together because I wanted Sebastian to have everything he wanted, because I thought he deserved it. He was my favourite character. He was impossibly sexy, and attractive, and dark and humorous, and I loved him to the point where I was actually cheering him on to burn down the world.
I never considered for a moment what poor Clary wanted, and really I should have. When Sebastian died and was Jonathan at the last moment, my perspective changed dramatically. I no longer wanted them to be together; all I wanted was Clary to have the brother she'd always wanted, and Jocelyn to have the son she'd always dreamed of.
Shipping them in the first place was kind of wrong. Because I loved Sebb and thought only of what he wanted and never stopped to question what Clary did.




I still can't understand why people love a character who wants to watch the world burn and is an attempted rapist.The only thing I ever felt for Sebastian and even then it was a small bit of pity for having been turned into a monster by demon blood and never having a chance to be human.

I agree they are the perfect couple both cruel and selfish and soulless.Mainly because I was happy the Queen was tricked somewhat about Sebastian.

Yes I already guessed that.But what surprised me is that the Queen didn't figure it out.I always thought she was smarter then that and bet she did also.

I agree about it being disturbing and even more disturbing because more then one person wanted a brother and sister to be together plus if the first thing wasn't bad wanted someone to be with there attempted rapist.I wanted Sebastian dead from the moment he killed Max and then as he became more horrible I wanted him dead even more.I was hoping he would die a more horrible death then he did.In fact I was a little disappointed about him not suffering more.

Yes almost being raped is special right?I don't think so but maybe you do.

Most people wanted them to be together because it was presented to pose as a possibility. Also because those who worshipped Sebastian wanted whatever he wanted: Clary.
For someone to love Sebastian, they need to come to an understanding of his character. And to do that, you have to look beyond his actions for the reasons behind them. There really are no excuses for what he did, no words that could repent, but it's like watching an autistic child kick a puppy yet understanding why the child did it.
It was Valentine's doing. He created Sebastian out of pure greed because he wanted power. He used Sebastian as a tool. It's horrible even to think of someone bringing a child into this world not with the intention of loving them but to use them as a lethal weapon. I mean, it's not like Sebastian had a choice in the matter; he was an innocent baby turned into an evil monster who lacked empathy. Valentine beat him for the first 10 years of his life, apparently not recognizing that his son was corrupt enough and lethal enough without driving him down further into more darkness.
Because of Valentine, Jocelyn told Sebastian he was a monster and left him with Valentine, despite her having witnessed what Valentine made him!
Sebastian had nothing his entire life, no sister to take care of and no love to cherish. And he couldn't. Because he didn't understand it. Due to him being raised without that kind of affection, he really had nothing to go on. He even stated in CoLS: "In the end, you always go back to what you know."
If Jocelyn had simply given him a chance and raised him with love and passion, then maybe he wouldn't have turned so wicked. Also in CoLS, he said: "If you loved me, maybe you could have saved me. And to Clary: "What do you think would have happened if Valentine had brought you up along with me? Would you have loved me?"
Most of what he says is a farse, I'll admit. But there must have been some depth of truth behind them for him to sound so convincing.
Even Clary said she'd noticed how lonely Sebastian truly was.

yeps i totally agree! sometimes i kind of felt bad for Sebastian:(


I am sorry I was harsh but rape has always been a sensitive subject with me.2 of my aunts were raped.


But Sebastian didn't actually rape her; he sexually assaulted her. I know that doesn't excuse what he did, but Sebastian was also part-demon and was only capable of wanting.



Thanks:) I like my username too!
Jace felt a sense of belonging with Clary because the two were bound by extra angel blood. The Seelie Queen explains that in City of Fallen Angels.
There really is no possible way Jace can explain his love for Clary. He loves her because she is brave and wears her heart on her sleeve, unlike himself, and that is what made her the better part of him. He was afraid of caring and getting it thrown back in his face, whereas Clary showed him it was better to love and lose than never to love at all.
Love (and I know I'm going to sound extremely melodramatic) simply cannot be explained in terms of words. It can be explained through music, through poems, through art, but not words. It's like trying to explain what water tastes like. It just goes to prove how much Jace really did love her and how wrongly Sebastian mistook it.

That was well said. You nailed the part on Jace and Clary's relationship.

I totally agree with you!! I can see how you made TMI a part of yourself( I mean everyone does it,but still...)
I also wanted Sebsatian and Clary to be together... I guess it was mostly because I really hoped Sebastian would live and Clary is like an opposite of him in each and every way possible.. And they (would) make a perfect couple.. But nonetheless... I kind of miss Sebastian.. I never wanted CoHF to end (nor did I want TMI to).. Sebastian never was the person he could have been.. If only he would have been raised the way Jace was raised we could expect a completely different Sebastian.. But I still love this Sebastian... If only Sebastian could have feelings.. But even in his animate emotions and him being feeling-less I find him as a really good person... Demon blood really was the worst part and all the things he ever did were truly unforgivable... But let's face it there would be no TMI if Sebastian never existed...
It's not like the others didn't matter but Sebastian was the one who stood out to me throughout the series.. I only hoped that I could get more of him in the series... I really miss him... :(

Nope, honestly I wanted it too, the only problem was Clary was a terrible character and a terrible person and Sebastian was amazing so I would be rooting more for him and his sister if that sister weren't Clary or if she was different. But either way I am a fan of the pairing ...it actually makes the most sense to me in terms of who a girl would actually be attracted to but in terms of personality ..i guess she and Jace are made to be alike ... they are both boring and stupid etc. etc. but in rare moments Clary has shown she can be like her brother Jonathan and do smart things.

Max was an accident, and even if he wasn't ... everyone in this series has killed someone , the rest of the characters are hypocrites and just need to get over it.

Which book did that happen in? lol also i prefer Clary with brown hair and eyes like in the movie... looks much prettier .. especially compared to how awful she looked with red hair in that book trailer.

It would not be disgusting or immoral for them to be together..... that's just an idea... a way you have been conditioned to think by generations of idiots. Hypocrites really, considering they will let people do dumb shit these days ... they let two men and two women be together or switch their gender... and you're trying to tell me that this subject in the book is what's wrong? jeez people like you ...which is the majority... are so twisted.

It's not sick , twisted , or wrong. It's actually the most natural thing in the world. But anyways yes Sebastian/Jonathan was the most amazing character in this book and presented all the characteristics and depth that you would want in a male character in a book ... he's so realistic it pulls you in and he is a sophisticated character unlike all the rest.
Clary was an idiot from the start , she had a brother!! if she ever took the time to realize it but just like her bitch of a mother Jocelyn she was too busy thinking how it could have been what he could have been .... just like so many people on this post ... honestly it reminds me of those bad parents who only have an idea of what their child should be in their minds instead of appreciating who their child really is. What i love about Jonathan is that he didn't change for anyone and wanted people to accept him as he was because he was perfect just the way he was . ...and what i find very deceitful about so many fans of this series is the truth is they probably want someone to love them for who they are and not who people want them to pretend to be yet they hated that aspect in the book, maybe because they did become who others wanted them to be and left who they were behind them.

Not at all.... considering not only did he not love her , but he was just using her for her army and her resources... an ally . And I'm glad that's all she was to him ... because he made it very obvious that the only one he ever loved was Clary.

First of all...i doubt they were referring to the "rape" but i know you people have a stick up your ass about that lol. puns.
But there were many other scenes they were probably referring to ... also that scene with him making advances towards her was literally one of the hottest scenes in this entire book series , I just wish Clary wasn't so hypocritically getting disgusted by him the entire time... she is so full of shit. i cant stand her. Honestly if i was in her position things would have gone a lot better.

(Valentine was an intelligent and loving yet misunderstood and rash husband)
Jocelyn was a terrible mother and wife
Clary was a terrible sister
Jonathan was the perfect son.
That's what the book should have said on it ... like the cover in small letters before the title. lol.

Well don't take your fucking emotional problems out on a book and twist characters into your image of a villain or a bad person.

Man people like you is probably why more people don't speak up about the pairing they liked.... honestly there is nothing wrong with the Jonathan and Clary pairing ... except that Clary pretty much just sucks. Sebastian on the other hand was perfect . But anyways what i find disturbing is how many people who are fans of this series are so full of shit ... like how they rooted for Clary and Jace ... or for two men like Alec and Magnus.... so... yeah....

Yes, obviously Jace and Clary's relationship was very weak....... but many of the people reading these books are brainless and blind... too blind to see which characters are strong and contribute to the plot and which ones are there to just look pretty and be all morally righteous when really they are full of shit. I can't stand the majority of fans of these books .

Yes they were opposites.... in real life though opposites don't attract which is why people look for something in common with them. But it's also about whether you have that part of whatever it is inside you that makes you similar to the other person though you try to deny it and struggle with it ... that tension and then letting go of the facade and admitting you are like them and embracing who you are is what makes a book great ... but Clary never had that potential and that depth to her that Sebastian thought she did... but if I was in Clary's position , let's just say their relationship would have gone the way some fans here wanted it to.... after all the tension between them .. mostly from him... and all the glances and the remarks ... it would have come to a mind blowing amazing ending . Honestly if i ever get some people together and find someone i think would portray him well along with others who were interested, i would make a movie of the series or at least the last few books with Sebastian in them... and give it the story and the ending it should have had. :)
And yes, you see that but many people don't see why Sebastian/Jonathan is such a perfect character.. he is realistic , he is understandable... and honestly it seems to me that only someone with a true understanding of people and their actions and emotions, someone who has been through dark times, could appreciate a beautiful character like this.

No , i wanted them to be together too... But only if Clary improved as a character , then i would really love seeing them together .

She could have easily had both , a brother and a lover/husband which is pretty much what he seemed to want with her... they cared about each other as siblings but they also liked each other as much more. They would have made a very interesting pair.

I totally agree! I was actually for sebastian, jace and clary being a super team instead! I loved them fighting together!

Nora! I love your perspective!

I wanted the drama between them to go farther than it did. We saw that with Jace and Clary when we thought they were siblings, but Sebastian was almost instantly viewed as the new villain. I kinda expected more obsession from him. Or him wanting someone else like Izzy. I wouldn't had minded Izzy and Seb.
