Jonathan Morgenstern - The boy who could have been
Because I’ll forever be bitter that they allowed Valentine to be a parent, here are some happy headcanons about one boi called Johnny Crispy Morgensternum.
My boi grew up in Brooklyn with his sis and his momma, a let me tell you, he’s a complete momma’s boy. Like, boy would follow momma everywhere and when he went through his emo phase (he def had an emo phase) he still listened to his momma.
Just imagine lil Jonathana and Clary getting covered in paints when Luke is babysitting them and Jocelyn coming home to multicolored children.
Imagine lil Jonathan with missing front teeth asking his momma for a hug and defending Clary from mean boys at school
Also, this kid was such a nerd. Like good grades in elementary school and always the teacher’s pet. Definitely had comments on his report card that said was a pleasure to have in class, such a bright boy, etc
Then middle school happened and he went through: the emo phase. Thats right, if you think for one second that Jocelyn the hot mess mom, would not produce two hot ass mess kids, you lieeee
Seriously, he dyed his hair black, was essentially adverting for Hot Topic on his body. He had those thicc ass band bracelets and he got a lip piercing that had Jocelyn rolling her eyes, but saying if thats what you want.
Luke was such a father figure to him as well. Like Jonathan played baseball with Simon and Luke, and they would have a boys day out and go watch a game together or something. While Jocelyn and Clary went to Central Park and rode bikes.
FAMILY CAMPING TRIPS ft SIMON LEWIS.
Simon was the little brother Jonathan so wanted. And likewise Simon so loved the fact that Jonathan was like a cooler older brother. They def had jam sessions when Simon started playing guitar and Jonathan was on the drums because mom they speak to me, to my musical soul.
Jonathan also totally would steal Simon away from Clary when she was distracted so he could hang out with him instead.
And when Jonathan realizes that Simon has a crush on Clary, he gently lets him down, that Clary just isn’t the right person for him and that he’ll find better.
Speaking of Clary. These two are little devils. When they were super little, like toddlers they were cute with each other, but then They hit middle school age and suddenly they were sworn enemies. Like Mom Jonathan said I look stupid with bangs followed by because you do, who wears bangs anymore, are you trying to look old?
Or, Mom Clary locked me out of my room! followed by Well next time don’t each the last poptart!
Luckily for Jocelyn and Luke’s sake, they cool off by high school. Clary is still slightly annoying to Jonathan his freshman year, but he’s over it cause he’s a high schooler.
Really, he starts hearing people talk shit about Clary and SImon, and he squares the fuck up with them. Which is why when they enter high school all the upperclassman know better than to mess with them.
Occasionally someone will attack Simon, and Jonathan will lose his shit. Jonathan may be a lanky, drummer with waaaaaay too many band tees, but he can knock you out.
Him and Clary start helping each other out with homework and sneaking out of the house for parties. He’ll always take the blame, cause he knows his momma will go easy on him.
My boi has no art skills what so ever. None, his mom and sister are the artists. But he’s a great musician, so his mom says, and he likes photography. He bought a nice camera on his fifteenth birthday after babysitting the next door neighbor’s triplets for a year. He earned it.
My dude also a huge ass science nerd. Over here trying to be a biomedical researcher. But if that doesn’t work, he’s got the band. He’s on and off with Rock Solid Panda, since he started college.
Yup, my boi in college. He’s working for that degree, though he’s mostly motivated by 7-11 slushies and a large amount of mountain dew. Coffee is not his thing.
Momma Jocelyn was so proud when both kids graduated high school. Luke teared up too. She has their grad portraits in the main Hallway so every knows who her babies are.
My boi also has the greatest friends, who will go with him to shitty music festivals and skateboard in areas that are def sketchy and illegal, his ride or die crew.
Jonathan is a hilarious dude, he’s got some weird human, then again so does Clary and Simon, so duh. he’s so nice to his momma, he’ll always buy her flowers for her birthday and mother’s day. Boi is a hot mess too though. Like he’s super smart but once tried to microwave a salad. Common sense is hella lacking. He’s also such a messy person. Like his room is a nightmare, he puts his clean clothes on his bed and uses them as extra blankets. He knows that there must be some weird food hiding because he can smell it. And his books and photos are everywhere. Draws, closet, floors, under pillows, in his shoe.
When he’s stressed for midterms or finals he’ll go home and just put his head on her lap and let her stroke his hair until he relaxes.
He owns one hoodie that is so worn out it has wholes in it. It’s navy blue, but he refuses to get rid of it, because Luke gave it to him once at baseball practice and he was cold. He sleeps in it and eats in it. Honestly he would bathe in it if he could. That’s all he wears finals week.
I have much more I could write, but I can’t really form thoughts at this point, so enjoy a happy Jonathan Morgenstern.
