My Book Boyfriend; Jace Wayland
Don't look at me like that! LOL I know what you guys are thinking “oh Aly seriously, could you not have been a little unpredictable?" To which my lovelies I answer, of course not! You all know my love for Jace by now *sighs* so, of course I had to give him the honour *cough* of being the first to be featured on this Meme. Now let me tell you a little about my Jace :D
This blond haired -golden eyed boy is a Shadowhunter who goes by the name Jace Wayland. He’s not just your typical Shadowhunter. Nope. He is a little extra “talented” shall we say? AWESOMENESS includes; Superhuman Strength, Agility, Stamina and coordination. He is one of the best fighters among his kind making him a force to be reckoned with. Being somewhat of a bad boy he is hinted at being slightly promiscuous but does not ever get emotionally attached in his relationships/flings; call them what you will. He likes to challenge others and be challenged. Not your prince charming at all but something much more exciting!
Reasons why I LOVE HIM!
- So he's a little sarcastic, arrogant, vain and extremely good looking. But he is chivalrous towards women, he cares deeply about those that he loves and is fiercely loyal.
- He is one of those boys who doesn't like others to know just how mushy and sweet he is on the inside. So he creates a barrier to keep people away. Ever considered that he might use sarcasm and come across as arrogant to hide his vulnerability?
- Only Jace Wayland can stand there, admit what a prat he can be, give you that smexy smile and make you a little weak in the knees.
- His charisma and charm is one of the many things that makes him popular with the ladies. Tormented and at times filled with rage for unexplained reasons only add to this mysteriousness that makes him all the more attractive.
- He is far from perfect, but damn it's all this and more that makes this boy completely and utterly lovable, it's his imperfections that make him so real to us all.
- Jace Wayland is honest, cynical and a little bit of everything in between. He has a dark past that could tug on anyone’s heartstrings yet he laughs, cares and even dares to love.
- Some might not love him right away and some, like - myself will not even think twice before they realise what a gem he is. By the third book though? I promise that you will at least respect him.
- He makes me believe that not all bad boys are necessarily bad. They can be sensitive, caring, protective and there for you in your time of need, they can put you first. I might be cynical when it comes to bad boys in reality, but gosh Jace makes me wants to question it all!
- Since discovering the series back in 2009 Jace has always stood out to me. Years later I feel exactly the same. How many people can say the same for another character? J
Okay so I had no idea how hard it would be to find a picture of someone who I thought would even remotely look like Jace to me. I knew I was not going to use prettyface because I'm just over him and all the buzz around him being Jace. Gosh it took me forever, but I think I have something decent here at least. I can kind of imagine this guy as Jace. He's good looking and has great-striking features. I loved his thick blond hair which reminded me so much of Jace's. Either way, Mitch Hewer is the closest that I could get to finding my Jace. Feedback is appreciated. Oh and let me know if I have made you fall in love with Jace already:D Can you see through those quotes why I adore and yap on about him so much? Yeah, yeah I know I got major carried away with the quotes, there are so many that I love!
"Everything changes in my life, and the world stays the same."
"And I'm suppose to sit by while you date boys and fall in love with someone else, get married...?" His voice tightened. "And meanwhile, I'll die a little bit more every day, watching."
"The boy never cried again, and he never forgot what he'd learned: that to love is to destroy, and that to be loved is to be the one destroyed."
"The way he looked at you. I got it then. He loved you, and it was killing him. He won't get over you, Clary, he can't."
"You disappear so completely into your head sometimes," he said. "I wish I could follow you."
"I know it's wrong - God, it's all kinds of wrong - but I just want to lie down with you and wake up with you, just once, just once ever in my life."
"Since I've met you, everything I've done has been in part because of you. I can't untie myself from you, Clary- not my heart or my blood or my mind or any other part of me. And I don't want to."
"Not everyone wants you all the time, Jace," he said. "Don't be ridiculous."
"He caught her as if he were used to catching fainting girls, as if he did it everyday."
"You could have had anything else in the world, and you asked for me." She smiled up at him. Filthy as he was, covered in blood and dirt, he was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen. "But I don't want anything else in the world."
"Love makes you a liar.."
"There was something about Jace, though, that made her want to push him, crack that shell of cynicism and make him admit her believed something, felt something, cared about anythinng at all."
"Don't." Clary raised a warning hand. "I'm not really in the mood right now." "That's got to be the first time a girl's ever said that to me," Jace mused."
"What's this?" he demanded, looking from Clary to his companions, as if they might know what she was doing there. "It's a girl," Jace said,recovering his composure. "Surely you've seen girls before, Alec. Your sister Isabelle is one."
"Are you the one with the blue eyes?" "Actually, my eyes are usually described as golden...and luminous."
"I thought I'd lie on the floor and writhe in pain for a while," he grunted, "It relaxes me." "It does? Oh - you're being sarcastic. That's a good sign probably."
"Oh, he's rude to everyone," said Isabelle airily. 'It's what makes him so damn sexy."
"If you wanted to rip my clothes off, you should have just asked"
"It's so...dark," she said lamely. "You want me to hold your hand?" "Dont talk down to me." "Well, I could hardly talk up to you. You're too short."
"I hate it when you answer a question with a question." "No you dont, you think its charming."
"Somehow he managed to look cool despite the heat. It made Clary want to smack him."
