JACE WEEK - Heads of the Institute Clace Headcanons

There is a tapestry of Consul Alec in the NY institute library. Jace put it up the day after Alec got elected. 

Clary, along with Simon, is responsible for conducting mental health programs for shadowhunters in the NY institute. All current nephilim under the NY institute have access to support services and resources they need to handle issues such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, developmental issues, etc. All members are trained to not only practice useful coping mechanisms such as breathing techniques, but are also trained to respond to a shadowhunter in need of psychological support, for instance they all need to learn grounding techniques to assist during  a panic attack. 

Jace, in order to support the program in his own way, made each member a customised playlist they can listen to during their patrols. 

Sometimes when things get a little too hectic at the institute, Jace and Clary hide out in the greenhouse until they feel calmer. Everyone knows about this, but no-one disturbs them. 

Clary and Jace also encourage extracurricular activities among institute members, not just as a skill but even just for pleasure. There is a painting class that takes place every Thursdays and a music class that takes place on Saturdays. 

They also incorporated certain aspects of mundane culture into the NY institute. They put up a Christmas tree in December and go all out during Halloween. 

Izzy is currently attempting to make Church the official mascot of the NY institute. Clary and Jace agree. Alec has been ignoring their fire messages. 

Both of them have been found, many times by many people, in compromising positions and in the weirdest of places.

Meetings with downworlders are not only held in the institute. Jace and Clary visit each downworld fractions in their respective headquarters to establish mutual respect with the local leaders. 

The library has been stocked up with mundane YA books, music and games for relaxation and entertainment. 

The NY institute has a Netflix account. 

Since nephilim from around the world visit their institute, Jace and Clary have established a anti-bullying and non-discrimination policy (of both nephilim and downworlders) on the basis of various identity factors including race, gender identity, expression, sexual orientation, family name etc. This policy was drafted with the support of Luke and Jocelyn and is currently being examined by Consul Alec to be implemented in institutes around the world. 

When Clace became the head of the institute, Simin got them a matching t-shirts. But since the position was abbreviated, the t-shirt just says “I’m HONYI”. Clary has ‘lost’ hers and Jace wears his way too often. 

Now that they have a bigger bedroom as the heads of the institutes, they have expanded their rooms with more personal items. Clary is trying to sneak in a Pacman and Jace wants a ‘manageable’  bloodhound. They still share one toothbrush though.
