' does will get married to tessa or no?' well as far ive heard shes getting married to JEM!

wait have you read CP or not??

I already know she's going to marry Jem was making a statement not asking a question because someone said 'is will going to marry tessa' so I said so far as were informed she's planning to marry Jem, but I'm so team will
I found Will's curse to be too convenient. It gave him the excuse to be as horrible as he was, thus, I can't hate him as much as I'd like too. But then, what are we left with? If the (hilarious) hurtful sarcasm and boldness is all an act, then you have a young man who loves literature. Will, gentle and protective, with all the same, good qualities that you could find in Jem, maybe just as 'dull' as each other, as some might say. Truthfully, they're both a good choice, yet it's still too early to tell.
What I adored about Tessa is that unlike most female characters, she doesn't continue to idolize the man who treats her like crap. When the curse was still unknown, I think she was totally right in the head when leaning towards Jem. Yet now that she's faced with two equally good guys, I think we might start to see incredibly annoying back-and-forth action.
I just love Jem. He's the kind of person who stays consistently by your side when needed. He's kind, sweet and understanding, and of course that can come off as too dull or perfect, but one of the things that stuck out to me the most when reading the book is that we should never take that for granted. He's dying, for Pete's sake. He remains calm and optimistic when God knows it takes all the effort in the world just to manage a smile. I find it incredibly admirable that he's not off sulking at some opium den. But when he broke, and we get to see the anger and sadness that boils beneath him, and the unfairness that he's probably just a patient to Nurse Tessa, I started to ball like a damn baby. How is it like in the real world, when your loved one is suffering from a disease and you can practically hear the time ticking away? And the make-out scene. Jem being so literally fragile and so self-conscious about the fact that he doesn't have washboard abs, was totally endearing.
Near the end, when Tessa seemingly makes the decision, I do sympathize for Will...yet I didn't find it too tragic. In Magnus' own words (He's a BOSS) how is your life possibly ruined yet, if you've only still lived seventeen years of it? Let's face it, they're seventeen. However passionate, it's really just young love, and if Will doesn't end up with Tessa, we all know the Herondale line will continue eventually. And if I sound extremely biased, that goes for all teenage fictional characters, even Jem if he was in a different situation. They'll all find somebody new, if things do not work out, even if it's not within the time period of the books. And let's say Tessa can't in fact have children? What about Jace? :(
And we still can't ignore that the two guys are parabatai. I don't even think I want to touch the next book, it'll be so terrible for all of them.

the amount he had to isolate himself, and be nasty and try to make people hate him just so that he could protect them.....if thats not noble, i dont know what is
he even made sure people he didnt even like hate him. like the lightwoods sister, when she wrote in her diary about liking will and he read it out loud to everyone. he didnt have to worry about what happens to her cuz he didnt even like her but he couldnt let the curse affect her too...so in ways he is more pure at heart than even jem is, you know. so now we'll get to see his sensitive side, but i dont think hes gonna completely lose all his sarcasm and wit because he doesnt want to hurt jem and so to make sure nothing is suspicious between him and tessa, and not protect his own feelings, he'll still be a bit sarcastic and happy, and be the will that we know sang about Demon Pox

idk i feel like somehow jem will find out about will and tessas feelings but i also believe jem is gonna die and either before he dies or on his death bed, hes gonna give his blessing to them both to be together and probably make will vow to protect her and love her always and i think will and tessa might be happy together....but then again, clockwork princess is the last book in the series so i feel like the epilogue is gonna be sad cuz shes gonna live forever and itll prob be tessa talking about her lost love and family (after theyve all died either in action or of old age, who knows) and magnus will probably help her through it or something
oh and the dark artifices, main character is emma CARSTAIRS......i thought all of jems family was dead or something but i guess not, and tessa cant have kids so obvi it cant be a descendent of her and jems.....mindboggling, who is she!!!

“Jem: do you have any other family members?” Yes. So does Will.
^ this was asked on the Q&A with Cassie. Both Will & Jem have other family members.

like we've known that will's family was so close in all the books and cecily was gonna be in the last one, hes talked about her and everything
but we know nothing of jem's!!!
does he have a sis or bro???

What do you mean they're apparently not dead?
What do you mean they're apparently not dead?

cuz of what The Breeze said that cassie posted that jems family wasnt dead
and you posted yourself that in the Q&A cassie said he has other family members.....so apparently theyre not dead then ?

His parents are dead, but he has other family members, like cousins, uncles, etc.

Obsessionist wrote:But before I read Clockwork Prince I was hoping that Tessa would hang out with Jem more and that would make Will Jealous. oh my god so did i! because he was such a jerk to her in the first book, but then when i read clockwork prince i realised how much he loved her so i didnt want him to be jealouse any more because it would make him even more sad :(

cuz she truly loves jem with all her heart and would never want to hurt him (rmr tessa puts everyone before herself, especially those she cares for) and jem doesnt have much time left, so she has the opportunity and power to make him truly happy
she just doesnt realize yet that she doesnt just love Will but she is IN LOVE WITH will and she hasnt figured it out yet that she wont be happy with jem.....

i think its worse that he wasnt jealous
because its so sad that it didnt even compute to him that jem likes her or she somewhat likes jem, jem is like his brother and he had no idea, he thought he had nothing to worry about and no competition but himself you know
so it was such a shock and just a blow to the heart
poor will!! totally unsuspecting, completely unprepared
at least if he was somewhat jealous, hed realize he had jem as competition and he'd be prepared
but i do suppose if he realized early that jem liked tessa, he wouldve backed off right from the beginning anyway
BUT STILL

maybe everythings not always planned to work out

and lol if will turned out gay.......magnus would be knocking on his door in a heartbeat for another kiss

idk, i think i would be equally happy with a will/magnus pairing lol
wishful thinking
and we're just theorizing how the cp2 is gonna end, and why tessa chose jem and how will is gonna be in the last book
DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNN
