Every Brother Zachariah scene/reference in Shadowhunters 

Magnus tries to get rid of his memories of alec Next scene: Brother zacharia: YALL ARE MARRIED NOW, KISS

« any friend of will herondale is a friend of mine » 🥺🥺🥺🥺

This is NOT how I imagined Jem to look or sound. He’s more handsome and soft spoken in my head.

Omg this makes me think of that one quote from (book) Alec said, something like "there's a hot silent brothers calendar??" I was like yes, and it stars Jem!!!

I am curious on what the people who haven't read the books think of him.

I still have hope for a TDA series. About Will, Jem, Tessa, Charlotte, Henry, Gabriel, Gideon, Sophie, Cecily and Magnus ♥

As Brother Zachariah/Jem Carstairs is probably my favorite character (or at least tied with magnus) in the book series, I feel it is my duty to share some of my favorite nicknames for him in the book: Brother Mackariah, Brother Lipsmackariah, Brother Sixpackariah, Jembalaya, Brother Snackariah, peanut-butter-and-jem. You may now carry on with your day

Confession: I squeal every time Jem is either mentioned or seen. I love him 😍 Anyone else the same 😜

After reading TID I fell in love with Jem Carstairs. I have to emphasize the fact that I have never completely fallen for a fictional character the way I fell for Jem. And the peculiar thing is...others attracted me because of their description and their (be it in my imagination) appearance, but Jem got me with his whole attitude, his words, his gestures, his sweetness...at times I even forgot what he looked like, he was just a grey-haired silhouette dancing in my mind. Which is what first bugs me about this show: I really wanted him to have that grey hair and not just some white strands. But the tragic thing is how his dialogue in the show does him no justice. He seems cold and heartless, showing nothing of that amazing man whose emotions came to the surface whenever he met with old friends(which is what Magnus was to him). I am deeply disappointed and I demand justice for James Carstairs.

When I heard the name “Will Herondale” my heart skipped a beat 😩 I’m really sorry for everyone that haven’t read the books yet because the series is just not enough 🤮

Brother Zachariah at the Malec wedding is so me😂😍

HES SO PRECIOUS. Makes me want to read the infernal devices again. 😭 my feels

THEY MESSED UP. SO FRICKIIIINNNNGGGG BAD. MY READERS HEART HURTS.

not gonna lie i started to cry when magnus literally mentioned Tessa in season one. so i was bawling when brother zachariah literally showed up

Brother Snackariah

James Carstairs is literally my baby I love him so much 💕 he is SO under appreciated! He’s gone through the most but is still one of the nicest and most compassionate Shadowhunters

Absolutely love how much he's fangirling in the background of the last scenes. :)

Aww JEM.i love brother Zachariah so much he is just so priceless . That smile at the wedding he was so happy yo see magnus finally happy. Kudos 😀😀💜

Brother Zachariah's story (books): Major book spoilers!! If you ever plan to read the books - please don't read below! Spoilers through Queen of Air and Darkness! In 1878, Jem Carstairs, a Chinese Shadowhunter lives in London with his parabatai, William Herondale. Jem's parents were killed in a demon attack on the Chinese institute when he was young. Jem was also injured by demon venom - Yin Fen. So severely, that he has since had a dependence on this substance, turning his hair and eyes white from the drug. He needs to take doses of the white powder to function - however, it slowly is killing him. He is often sickly and weak, taking more of the drug to perform his Shadowhunter tasks. Long story short, he is nearing deaths door in his late teens. He chooses to become a Silent Brother - whose rune ceremony is enough to save him (effectively freezing him as he is). He never fully transforms into a full fledged silent brother (eyes/mouth sewed shut and no voive). He watches his parabatai love and wed the girl they both love, Tessa. They name their first child for him, James. Will dies. (Tessa is a Warlock-Shadowhunter...long story and lives). Flash forward to the 21st century and Sebastian Morgenstern is terrorizing the world. Jace, who is attached to Sebastian via a "twinning rune" is run through with glorious by Clary, imbuing him with heavenly fire. While treating him, Brother Zachariah - Jem - is touched, thus burning away all his Silent Brother runes and Yin Fen in his system. Essentially, rebirthing him. He finds Tessa, they marry and they are expecting their first child. They also are fostering a Herondale boy named Kit, who was lost and never knew his true identity. (End of current books) *I assume future seasons of Shadowhunters might have explored a little of this, but 2 hrs was a little tight to "cure" Bro Zach, so understandable. I SO WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEE ANY OF THIS IN THE SHOW! When Magnus first said "my old friend Jem" fans were shook! Will, Jem, and Tessa got in trouble and needed a warlock friend and they became close with Magnus. Will was his first shadowhunter friend. Red Scrolls of Magic spoilers! Magnus was also sheltered by silent Brothers when he was very young. They found him a warlock mentor - Ragnor Fell - and taught him about his abilities.

Who read the books?

I've never watched this show but I've just finished the infernal devices book trilogy and GOD seeing Jem personified (and invoking Will's name 😭😭) gets me SO EMOTIONAL. Magnus Bane's actor is also so very perfect - love how well he portrays their friendship!!

Jem jem jem jem jem I love jem

I think the book Brother Zachariah is more handsome 😂 But I'm a Jem lover tho ♥️

Jem literally cannot go five seconds without mentioning Will. Sweetheart you’ve been onscreen for ONE minute. It’s the cutest

Why was there no Tessa in the show😭

We didn’t see enough of him...

4:02 Jem smiling in the background is every Malec shipper ever

"You're a silent brother?" No! He's a pink fluffy unicorn! Thank you captain obvious! I don't like Clary...

Awh man I love himmmm - I really wanted to see the show cover Jem's backstory honestly!! Just imAGINEEE when he spoke about him for the first time I was like oOF my heart But look at how happy he is at the wedding ahhhhh!!! So glad he was there to marry them, couldn't be more perfect!

This is not meant to be hateful, but I am beyond disappointed with this series--and the portrayal of James Carstairs in this show. The show seems cheap and the dialogue tacky. Read the books if you did not, I promise it will present Jem in a spectacular way (especially in comparison with the show).

"You've lost great love before...As have I"....my baby ;'(

I've never read the TID series and don't remember much about his appearances in TMI or anything BUT when I heard Magnus mention him to Izzy I was like OMFG!!!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 And when it was announced that we would get to see him in 3a I was like OMFG, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! lol

SPOILER.. is it just me that it is totally selfish that they did NOT save James whit the heavenly fire.. i mean it ruins the entire story line for the dark artifice, i just want it to have a good and. He deserves it so much!

In season 1, magnus makes a comment about him sending a message to his old friend tessa at the spiral laberinth!!!!! I was screaming.

As someone who read TID and absolutely loved it, it's cool to see such a crucial character in this. It feels a little off from how he's portrayed in the books, which is a little sad because people who have only seen the show won't know the real Jem, but it is what it is.

I have literally just finished The Infernal Devices (And the mortal instruments) and everything makes so much more sense. I watched the series before I read the books and I don’t think I can ever watch it the same.

Magnus and Jem are my favorite characters

Guys why nobody is talking about the fact that Jem has and American accent when he lived basically he’s all life in London. He has a British accent not an American one 😂

I expected him to have an British accent

Omg I can't belive there were actually more Jem time in the show that I expected. But I started Tid in march thus month so like...I never actually noticed them

Just seeing this, makes Magnus vulnerability so clear. In the books he's way more confident, but in the show he just seems soooo helpless...

3:25 technically that’s wrong, in the books Magnus has Catarina take a memory away and he threats her to do it by saying that if she doesn’t do it he’ll try to do it him self Catarina caves and does it for him because she knows that pulling memories can be dangerous if preformed on ones self

I finished Clockwork Princess today (for the first time) and I feel like Jem should’ve been left dead. NOT THAT I DONT WANT JEM ALIVE I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. But i I feel like it is disrespectful to my poor baby Jem to have to live forever as a Silent brother. {SPOILERS FOR CLOCKWORK PRINCESS RN} that scene when he was saying goodbye to Tessa and telling her that he would meet her on Blackfriar bridge every year made me cry like a baby. Jem should’ve respectfully passed and moved on to a better place, or a next life as he believes. And for the love of all things holy no one deserves to be reborn more than James Carstairs.

so love this video it so good and so love this guy

YES, MY LOVE!!! I LOVE HOW HAPPY HE LOOKED DURING THE WEDDING MEANWHILE I WAS SOBBING SKSKSK

YALL HES SO PURE I CANT

.....okay sooooooooo I just realized that Zachariah..is Jem..from I'm assuming clock work books...

Bruh, this acting literally makes me want to cry

I had to start this three times because my RU-vid is buggy?! I just want to enjoy a good jem-video, don’t annoy me on this video?!😩😂 Also Jem is my favorite character throughout the whole universe😍

holy shit they actually used a character from the infernal devices... I'm so happy words can't even begin to describe it. kind of a shame theres a lack of tessa though

Just want to see Tessa XD.

So I’m almost finished clockwork prince and I know the ending including tea (and have seen the whole show) but this is really getting to me rn

Ahg stop this is gonna make me cry!

When he mentioned losing a love of his, I remember Tessa :((((

JEEEEEEEM😭

NICEEEE

People who haven't read the books when they hear Will's name: 🤨

Please, I still haven't completed the TMI and clearly not read the TID yet, but I wanna ask a question. HOW THE HELL Jem can lives for a hundred years without aging, but our babies Alec and Magnus r strugling on Alec's mortality? Cuz as I read the books, they implies that Magnus is willing to give his immortality (but not his power) and Alec is also want to be immortal so he can be with Magnus forever :")

JEM CARSTAIRS. MY BABY YOU LOOK MUCH BETTER WITH SILVER HAIR

No ons know it but in the books Brother Zachariah was more than a friend for ( Magnus Bane) , he helped the silent brothers give him the name ( Magnus Bane) which means ( greatness ) 😭💖and raised him after he was orphaned as a child also ( Magnus Bane ) raised and protected (Raphael Santiago)after he was turned from a human teenager into a vampire by a violent vampire who was actually tried to murder him through drinking all of his blood then left him lost in the underworld when he didn't die of his painful blood loss 😭💖

I watched before reading the books and I totally overlooked this man, thinking him kinda trivial. Now every I see this scene be like omg he is Jem omg wheres Church at??

That is NOT how I imagined Jem to sound 💀 -fan of the books

Anybody notice that in season 1 episode 12 Tessa was mentioned and they had a picture of her legit just found out today

Ahhh Jem when he started saying that he lost Will it hurt my heart. 😢😢

Brother Sixpackariah

Jonathan Ho is hot as hell and he needs to be in more shows/movies

Can someone please answer me this, I’ve read TID but it’s been a while. Did Jem and magnus really have any kind of friendship? Obviously Magnus and will did but did jem and magnus ever really have any nice moments before or after him turning into a silent brother?

I hope someone writes a script for an Infernal Devices movie especially as there is not as much source material to sift through as there was with the mortal instruments

I had goosebumps when brother zachariah spoke

What I don’t understand is why the show acts like magnus and jem are so close like at best they were a friend of a friend. “My dear friend” tf??

Jem :) he’s my favorite character in the books.

He said HIS name. Will... my baby

I'm reading TID for maybe the third time. I'm going to start the show just because I found out that Jem is in this show. Oh, I'm in love with you both Will and Jem. Will we see Tessa in the show? That would be a little weird for Jace, but I wish we could see her too.

Ahhh Jem :)))

I’ll never get over the disrespect of them making Jem american

it makes me so sad that the show was cancelled before we got a chance to see jem and tessa or when clary and jace met emma and julian :(

I imagined Jem differently to be honest, with all his hair white 😚

1:28 🤧

Rewatching this makes me wish the show had gotten a proper ending that wasn’t rushed. I would’ve loved to have seen the scene where Jace burns Brother Zachariah with his heavenly fire.

ITS JEM. I’m just reading book one of the infernal devices and I love it so far.

Right now... I want Tessa man

JEM 🥺🥺🥺

i can't wait for the TID series

this is only half a "reference" but what about when clary is in the alternate dimension and church and chairman meow are there?

I honestly had no idea Jem made an appearance in the show, I stopped watching after season 2

Brother Zachariah needs more screen time!

MEU DEUS É O JEM

“every herondale's friend is my friend too” MEU DEUS APAGA ISSO TEM GENTW WUE CHORA PASSA MAL SABE TENHA MAIS EMPATIA PELAS PESSOAS

Brother Smakaraih more like

jemmie jemmie jem jem what have they done to you

I’m sorry I think I must’ve heard wrong. It sounded like they gave Jem an American accent 😩

i just finished clockwork princess today and i just wanna say that book ripped my heart out made it into a pretzel, then kindly put it back in. btw i ship tessa and jem

Anyone else cry at Malec wedding?

I wasexpecting him to be more petite (Not petite like weak or anything....U know like the guy in book cover...)

Oh my god I neeeeeed a Infernal Devices Prequel Series soooooo bad! But they can't even fkn do it because of the stupid shape-shifting rune aaaargh

Jem Carstairs all tthe way. Brother Snack-ariah on the way. Lots of Love from me to you, my James!

He reminds me of assassins creed

See I always come back 2022 nov 25
