a mostly comprehensive list of shit jace can do with his telepathy:

• implant false memories
• erase memories all together, be it segments of memory or wiping someone’s mind completely — including to the point where their bodies don’t even know how to breathe, therefore suffocating them to death
• create entire, tangible fake worlds in someone’s head
• control other things/people through someone else’s mind (this was demonstrated on amon.khet where jace took control of this guy’s mind, who was controlling a bunch of zombies and subsequently jace’s mind control extended to the zombies as well)
• absorbing the mind of someone else (though he’s only tried this once with kallist and it didn’t go TOO well, but considering he was like…. maybe 20 when he did that and he’s closer to 26 in current canon he’d probably be able to semi-successfully withdraw someone’s psyche from their body and keep it separate from his own)

❛   remarkable.   ❜

she finally decides, having been previously at a complete loss for words. cocking her head to the side, the otherwise bland-faced girl takes on the appearance of a quizzical beagle, her large eyes alight with that killer curiosity. she truly does seem to be awe-struck. 

after a moment, her appalling smile breaks the lower half of her face. it’s a moment before she realizes it and thin hand flies to her mouth to cover it. 

❛   my apologies, i’ve just never in my life— i can’t properly form a sentence. i’ve heard of legilimency, one can knock around in someone’s head and try to guess things but you—   ❜

jace’s narrative is so, so important to me because like.... him being autistic-coded aside, it’s really nice to have a story about someone that struggles with depression in a way that’s not like. romanticized and it’s something that affects them throughout their narrative n isn’t just a plot point convenience, and the way it’s written is very believable and realistic. but looking at the fact that he IS autistic-coded it’s ALSO great to have a story about an autistic character in a position of leadership, who isn’t stripped of their autonomy and isn’t fully dependent on the allistic characters around them. and then just???? watching him, over time, grow from this bratty self-centered little asshole into a strong, determined leader is.......... it’s good. i love it. great concept 

i’ve talked about this like 8000 times since i made this blog but like. honestly, the saddest and most telling thing about jace’s relationship with liliana is after nicol bolas fucking. obliterated his memory and he spent months on an island by himself, hallucinating his friends as manifestations of all his past insecurities. he didn’t even recognize liliana, but even seeing her out of the corner of his eye made him anxious. and then when he finally talked to the hallucination version of her, she just. completely demeaned him and while she would never say any of that shit out loud, and she DOES care for him in her own really warped way, it’s just so sad to me that that’s how his subconscious interpreted their relationship.

another jace i drew last night that is also my constant mood

WHO IS JA.CE BELE.REN ?  a quick guide for probably all of my followers.

jace is a young human mage from a plane called vryn. he has the innate ability of telepathy, which is an extremely super duper rare occurrence according to mt.g lore. on top of that, he’s a magical prodigy, and he studied with a sphinx (who, in revised lore for jace, was using him to gather information so the sphinx could sell that information to warring factions in order to keep his job). 

after a pretty damn traumatic experience where jace engaged his former mentor in a dramatic as fuck telepathy battle, he completely destroyed the sphinx’s mind and fucked up his own memory. because of the stress of this event, he accidentally threw himself from his home plane to a place called ravn.ica.

“but ronnie, what the fuck are you talking about with all this ‘planes’ shit????” a major part of mt.g lore are plan.eswalkers — people that have the ability to travel through the multiverse. most of the pivotal characters in mt.g are planeswalkers, and jace is one of them . 

back to the other shit though: in rav.nica, jace made a name for himself by using his telepathy to find out secrets from various rich people to blackmail them with and extort money from them. he had it pretty damn good, and it’s part of where he got his shitty sense of fashion, because he started to dress in a way that made him seem Rich and Mystical. 

eventually this shitty dude named tezz.eret sent some freaky creatures to attack jace as a weird ass way of inviting him to join his pseudo-mercenary group. even though it seemed kinda fucked up, jace accepted and then subsequently spent a couple years being pretty viciously abused and tortured every time he fucked up which was probably a lot. 

in the meantime, he sees an entire village get massacred (which he gets beaten for by tez.zeret even tho it wasn’t his fault), gets one of his friends killed and he met this necromancer named lilia.na whom he had a pretty brief relationship with because it turned out she was trying to manipulate him for her own gain, i.e, bringing him to this nasty ass dragon in exchange for getting a demon she sold her soul to or some shit killed. 

basically, poor kid can’t catch a break.

for the sake of keeping this as condensed as possible, i’m not gonna go into EVERYTHING that’s happened to him, but basically a lot of terrible shit happens, part of it is jace’s fault, he makes a lot of Bad Decisions and eventually becomes the living embodiment of a peace treaty, which he dislikes because it means he has to do a LOT of paperwork and listen to people complain all day. he does his best to avoid this job as much as possible.

currently in the storyline, his entire memory has been wiped by the evil ass dragon his ex gf tried to hand him over to. now he’s a pirate or some shit. he knows what an albatross is, but not his own name. 

as a person, he’s a pretty sad kid. he’s seen a lot of shit, been through a lot of shit, done a lot of shit. he has some minor issues grasping reality and would probably be the kind of person to put africa by toto on repeat and dissociate for 3 hours straight. he’s kind of a slacker because he’s never really had to work for anything, since his telepathy makes life pretty easy. he also has a difficult time getting close to people, because he travels a lot and often gives people a fake name because there’s no point in them trying to get to know him. also he apparently hates broccoli, and also crocodiles because his ex gf summoned a bunch of zombie crocodiles once and it was terrifying.
