Alec was on his feet now. His seraph blade was in his hand. He shot a look of contempt at Sammael. “Michael,” he said, and as the sword blazed up with holy name, Sammael visibly inched at the sound of the archangel’s name. Magnus felt a wave of pride. Not everyone could diss a Prince of Hell so artfully.
Michael is the name of the Archangel who defeated Sammael and it is also the middle name of Alec's son. Maxwell Michael Lightwood-Bane.
I just think how Alec when in battle can use both his son's names and lit up the seraph blade. Rafael. Michael. Alec loves both his children to infinity and I am so sure of that.
It's so beautiful to know the fact that Alec thinks of his family and heads into a battle.
And, the way Magnus is proud of Alec makes this moment even better. Also, props to Alec's sassiness.
Here's a portrait of our favorite pretty archer boy I made as a gift for my lovely friend, Lori!
With this piece, I feel like I'm really starting to understand digital art now. And I'm getting much better at drawing people, too. And the whole process is going faster as well. I used watercolor brushes to color this piece, which was uhhhh... a choice 🤣 But at least with digital, there are layers, erasers, and undo buttons, so it's infinitely easier for me to do digital watercolor as opposed to physical.
I wonder if anna would be proud of alec for dating magnus and being a revolutionary and openly homosexual consul or if she would be disgusted by his fashion sense
Do you guys remember that scene in TFTSA where Simon was talking about how it's really hard for him to see his friends as celebrities, because to him they're just his friends? I imagine that similar thing happens when Max and Rafe start growing up and going to school. Like something like this.
*Max and Rafe just walking together*
Some Kid - Omg I can't believe you guys have MAGNUS BANE and the freaking CONSUL as your parents. That must be so cool!
Max - Not really. I mean, everyone thinks Papa's super exciting, but he's just kind of a dork.
Kid - But- the CONSUL! ALEC. FREAKING. LIGHTWOOD! Is that not at all cool.
Rafe - I dunno. Yesterday he tripped on air at the park.
Does anyone ever think of what could've happened if Alec had never met Magnus? If Alec never became consul? What if he had just continued being the silver to the golden Jace herondale? What would've happened if Alec never found his worth? Does anyone ever think of the absolute villain arc this kid could've had if he hadn't been shown that someone actually sees him for what he was and loved him?? Imagine that?? IMAGINE VILLAIN-ARC!TRAGIC, SADDENED ALEC LIGHTWOOD BETRAYING JACE IN ANGER?? Just me? Mkay.
One of the biggest regrets of my life (so far) is falling off of The Mortal Instruments universe. When I tell you those books filled my every thought when I was in high school, but after CoHF I just didn’t know there was going to be more and now there’s just so much and it feels impossible to get back into. With that said Magnus Bane & Alexander Gideon Lightwood never left me, they’re my everything
Crying because no one will ever love anyone the way Alec and Magnus love each other so I made a reel to deal with my feels about these babies 😭😭😭😭💖. Happy Love day yall 💖🌷
