Cassandra Clare Conducts ‘Infernal Devices’ Character Q & A
Q: Will: If you had a chance to go to the future, what would be the first thing you would do or say? A: Why am I in the future? Q: Will: do you love Tessa enough to give her up? A: If it's better for her, then yes. Q: Will, if you could choose to meet one author who & why? A: Dickens, so I could complain about Little Nell. Q: Tessa: Do you feel a little love for Will?

A: No. (Good question. :D)
Q: Jem, how come you notice so much about Will, but you didn’t notice his feelings for Tessa?
A: What feelings?

A: It’s still forbidden.
Q: Sophie, so you and Gideon, huh? 😉
A: Hmph, no idea what you’re talking about.
Q: Bridget, do you realise that you drive everyone insane with your weird songs?
A: Bridget: *creepy stare*
Q: Tessa, if Jem died before the wedding, would you consider dating Will afterwards?
A: Will would never consent.
Q: Jem, not so much a question, just wanted to say you’re perfect!
A: *Jem, unused to compliments, hides in the violin*
Q: Jem: now that you know Tessa loves you, does it make you even more scared of dying?
A: Yes. (Also a good question.)

A: I have no intention of doing anything else.
Q: Gabriel, would you forgive Will?
A: He doesn’t seem to care to be forgiven.

A: Still fighting about Buford.

Q: Jem, what would you do if you discovered Will had feelings for Tessa?
A: I would want to know if she returned them.

A: Yes.

A: I can’t see it all turning out well.
Q: Jem: do you have any other family members?
A: Yes. So does Will.
Q: Sophie: if Gideon proposes you right away, what will you say?
A: We haven’t been speaking, it would be very odd.
Q: Mortmain, What’s Tessa, what is she?
A: Sadly Mortmain is lurking in his lair and unavailable for questions.
Q: Will: knowing that jem would one day die what did you think when asking him to be your parabatai?
A: That you cannot treat the dying as if nothing they do in their life matters. Otherwise he might as well be already dead.
Q: Will: How far are you willing to go for Tessa?
A: I would do almost anything for her. I would not hurt Jem.
Q: Will, do you find it hard to cope being around Jem and Tessa when they are being openly affectionate?
A: Yes
Q: Magnus: would you ever date a shadowhunter?
A: I should think not.
Q: Tessa, did you accept Jem’s proposal out of pity?
A: Certainly not!
Q: Tessa, now that you are getting married, are children at all a thought?
A: I believe I cannot have them.
Q: Tessa, who is better kisser: Jem or Will?
A: Oh dear, very improper, but they are both…well, it’s imposisble to choose!
Q: Gabriel: Would you date Cecily out of revenge?
A: Who’s Cecily?
Q: Tessa: what would you tell Jem if he questioned you about your burnt hand?
A: I said it was an accident.
Q: Jem, if you had to choese between Tessa or will, Who would it be?
A: I do not know how to choose between the people I love most.
Q: Tessa: how do you feel that Cecily is at the Institute? Do you think this will be good for Will?
A: I hope it will. I want him to be happy.
Q: Woosley, what is your impression of Will?
A: Pretty ones are trouble. Off to Budapest I go.
Q: Cecily: Were you ever angry at Will for leaving you and your parents to become a shadowhunter?
A: Very, very angry.
Q: Ragnor: Have you ever kissed Magnus?
A: Not my type.
Q: Will: Can you speak fluent Welsh?
A: Yes, Cecy also.
Q: Gabriel: Do you still trust your father? Completely?
A: I did, up until last week, until a very strange thing happened…
Q: Camille: Do you have new boyfriend or too soon?
A: Oh, I’ve moved on and sent Magnus all his presents back. Hmph!
Q: Tessa, do you want Will to find someone else to love?
A: It would kill me but it would only be fair…I made the only choice I could and he does not owe me.
Q: Tessa: Do you have the same feelings for Will as you do towards Jem?
A: Tessa: I love Jem. I truly do. And I had given up on Will. But the dreadful thing about Will being so honorable about everything is that I have realized …. well. It doesn’t matter now.
Clare said she would be conducting a Q & A with the characters of The Mortal Instruments when she returns from Mexico in March as the release date for City of Lost Souls grows closer.
Gideon, are your intentions serious towards Sophie?” Yes, very, but she does not believe it.
Not my type.
TMI Source 
Buuut Magnus ends up with Alec! Looks like he spoke a little too soon! I love Jem, he is so sweet and amazingly perfect. I feel bad for Will though. His life kinda sucks. First he gets rejected for his best friend/brother and then his little sister shows up to be a shadowhunter. Bummer.
haha love it and tessa i’m happy for you jem (haven’t read cp yet) but don’t quite give up on will yet. he passionalte is in love with you and would like to be with you.
(i read CP) I’m not team will or team jem but I think tessa chose a little early. Will shows more affection than Jem. Can’t wait for the TMI Q&A!
Will do you remember when magnus kissed you?
WHAT?
thats too funny..woo..*sighs* i love cassandra clare. what can i say the womans a damn right genius!
Hahaha yes I lol at that part hahahaha! 😀
When i read that part in the book.. i literally jumped off my bed and was just life…WTF, just happened. lol. Will was just like. oh, how peculiar. If only all her male characters were real.
I love will! I wish Tessa didn’t say yes to jem! I’m happy for them and I love jem and all but will is soo much better and Tessa and will were made for each other!!!!!!!!! Seriously Cassandra Clare is the best writer ever!!! She knows how 2 keeps you excited and waiting for more but not giving 2 much away!!!!! ❤
Gabriel and Cecily would be so cute
Just another thing for Will to be unhappy about 😀
I think Cecily’s character will be a cross between Will and Isabelle
i agree! I imagine Gabriel will court Cecily to annoy Will, but ends up falling for her… 🙂
Ahhh my gosh. I really want Tessa and Will to end up together, but I don’t want Jem to get hurt in the process and they’re all so in love with each other and I just wish that Jem never loved Tessa ;(
OMG it s so funny!!
I cant wait to have the same thing with the i characters 🙂
Okay I’ve totally blanked,
Who is the Emma Jem is asked about?
I think it’s Emma Carstairs, she’s supposed to be the female protagonist in The Dark Artifices
omg i just finished re reading the part in cp when will confesses his love for tessa and she says that jem has already proposed……i can barely see the key board with the tears blurring my eys.
I BAWLED at that part. It was just so emotional- the whole book made me feel like my heart had just been trampled on.
I know Right!!!!! if only a guy in this world could be like will. anyone. you don’t understand i’m not popular at my school and i have very little friends. whenver things go bad at home, i have no friends who understand me or really listen to me. i have no one. i ball up in my bed, clutch clockwork angel in my arms and cry, cry and hope for everything to get better. the only person in the world that can comfort me is my stuffed animal. i hug him and cry. he doesnt hug back obviously, but sometimes its all you got.. so i hold on to clockwork angel and thank cassandra clare with all my heart for giving me hope and strength…….i love william with all of me even though i know he isn’t real. that’s why i cry each time i read that. i just wish that for once in my life someone will tell me everythings going to be okay. would you believe no one ever in my entire life ( im not exagerating) has ever told me that?
a bunch of these nearly made me cry especially the one where jem said that if tessa and will got together, he would forgive them but be broken permently!!! ahhhh!!! *tear*
ikr
Loved the Q & A, as always – Cassie is a crack-up! 🙂
I’m neither Team Will, nor Team Jem; I’m Team Undecided/Love both boys equally” and it really bothers me when people say that Will is more affectionate with Tessa then Jem because that’s simply unfair and obviously bias. Both boys love Tessa equally, but express their love in different ways and I think that in this case some people confuse “affection” with “passion”.
Jem you JERK and liar! You admitted that you saw how Will felt about Tessa in the first book! IDIOT!!! Same goes for Tessa saying that it doesn’t matter if she has feelings for Will. YES IT DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can’t wait till the TMI one this one wuz funny though(:
I love Cassandra Clare. She is such a great writer!!!!! I am happy that she set TID in England too, and i am English, and most books are set in America these days, *sigh*. i love the part where it goes:
“Do you remember when Magnus kissed you?”
“WHAT?” i laughed out loud!!!!!
Will, “you will always come first in my heart”!!!
I wish she does more of this! Jem, if Tessa leaves you for Will, I’ll be happy to take you! ❤
I know Right!!!!! if only a guy in this world could be like will. anyone. you don’t understand i’m not popular at my school and i have very little friends. whenver things go bad at home, i have no friends who understand me or really listen to me. i have no one. i ball up in my bed, clutch clockwork angel in my arms and cry, cry and hope for everything to get better. the only person in the world that can comfort me is my stuffed animal. i hug him and cry. he doesnt hug back obviously, but sometimes its all you got.. so i hold on to clockwork angel and thank cassandra clare with all my heart for giving me hope and strength…….i love william with all of me even though i know he isn’t real. that’s why i cry each time i read that. i just wish that for once in my life someone will tell me everythings going to be okay. would you believe no one ever in my entire life ( im not exagerating) has ever told me that?
OMG I love this!!!! It’s been eating me alive having withdrawals from The Infernal Devices!!! IDK HOW LONG I CAN KEEP MY SANITY UNTIL CLOCKWORK PRINCESS!!!!
Q&A MY DREAMS!!
AAH Some of these just stab me it hurts aah. But some just made me snicker and laugh. (others were just I love iit~) But this all is just so useful since all of this is canon, from Cassie herself. I just want (need) the next book, but I don’t want Cassie to rush it! (this series is beautiful btw!)
WILL AND TESSA 4 EVA. GO AWAY JEM AND GET A LIFE
Son preciosas las ime1genes Mareda gcarias por ensef1arlas y disculpa nuestra ausencia estods dedas. Poco a poco volveremos el 1 ensef1amos el nuevo disef1ooooo!! un besote guapa. Mr Sandman.
Q: Jem: now that you know Tessa loves you, does it make you even more scared of dying?
A: Yes. (Also a good question.)
It’s so wierd that I’ve never really thought about Jem being afraid of dying before. He just seemed like he had already accepted it, and that was that. Now I feel absolutely horrible, especially since I am Team Jem. Poor Jem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He does not deserve to die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah but Will is sweet too he just didnt show it!
Anyway I feel like Jem is gonna die and Will and Tessa are gonna get 2gether cuz Je is gonna give them his blessing on his death bed 😀
Not that jem isnt awesome,
q was tessa the female warlock who put the protection speel on Cleary
how do you pronounce Cecily’s name?
