what does consul wear

Folks, have you ever vicariously scrolled hundreds of pages just cause you're too alecpilled and need to know what his closet will be like when he finally gets promoted? I know you haven't obviously I'm the no 1 Alec stan. here today to deliver what I think is me cracking the code on what it mean when the consul wears "consul robe"

After scrolling the likes of the mortal instruments, the infernal devices, the last hours, the dark artifices, I have noticed that there are two types of robes the consul would wear

The Council Member Robe

Consul Josiah Wayland

Consul Jia Penhallow

Young Alec Lightwood

In more less-important to semi-formal occasions, the Consul opts for a long black robe that also functions as a cloak, with silver runes decorated on the sleeve and the hem, standard wear for every Council member. I'm assuming it's made of not heavy material, as it's reported to flow according to the wearer movement, and shadowhunter tend to move a lot

The Consul Ceremonial Red Robe

Consul Charlotte Brandwell

Consul - The Shadowhunters Wiki

Shadowhunter Rhyme

It seems the Consul has a special ceremonial robe, preserved for special occasions that require their presence such as the Ascension ritual. The robe is red, billowing around the wearer's body, stamped with silver and gold runes, and the Consul is said to have their own staff. Aside from them, there have been no mention of other shadowhunter with high authority wearing red robes with a combination of both silver and gold runes, so we can assume this is something the Consul is granted. Can't wait to see our Consul in his powerful robe!

PROMPT: HUG

She looked at them, gazing from a distance. Her son and the warlock.

Her firstborn, her eldest, the one who made her a mother. Her beautiful blue-eyed boy, with the deft hands and big heart. Her Alec.

If there was anything she could thank Robert for, it was the children.

Isabelle with her fiery passion, poor Max. A pain that would never go away. And Jace, the boy they'd taken in, a son in every sense but blood. And Alec.

She knew. She'd known, deep down, that Alec suppressed things. She shouldn't have been surprised when he fell for Magnus and said nothing about it, least of all because he was a man.

She saw them laugh together, Alec's eyes crinkling the way they always did. Laughter suited him. Magnus managed to coax a chuckle out of him as no one ever did. She may have had her qualms about Bane, but she was thankful for everything he'd done for them, for Alec most of all.

Magnus kissed Alec's cheek and Alec blushed. The redness overtook his features like a tide and Magnus grinned, pleased. He kissed him again, on the lips this time. Alec was still blushing, but kissed him back with equal fervor.

She smiled to herself. She regretted everything they'd made Alec go through, for the sake of appeasing them. Of appeasing Robert most of all, but she knew she was apportioned some of the blame as well. She'd never made a move to tell him it was okay; it was okay to not live up to our expectations, it's okay to not be exactly what your father wants you to be, it's okay to break down and take a breath. He was the oldest, and hefted the responsibility like a true soldier. She knew he would make a wonderful father someday. He'd turned out a wonderful man, after all. Thanks to his own merits.

They were still wrapped up in each other, an embrace wherein no one could tell where Alec ended and Magnus began. She looked away, giving them their privacy. She'd yearned for that sort of love, once — now, she felt privileged to see her children experience it.

She heard a crash; they'd knocked over a plant on the windowsill. They were laughing again, breathless. Alec righted the pot, still grinning, and Magnus entrapped him in a hug. Alec did not make to move away; he leaned against the warlock, relaxed and at ease. He'd never been this calm as a child, or as a teen. He'd never been this happy.

Maryse saw them stay like that, swaying and murmuring sweet nothings to each other, planting soft kisses in the slanting light of the sun where they thought no one could see them and their affection. But Maryse saw, and understood. She knew. She'd always known. It was why she'd went so far as to leave a voice message to Magnus herself, when the two had broken up. She really had always known.

Alec deserved every bit of happiness and joy he got. The Clave saw his love as wrong in all sorts of ways: Magnus was a man, Magnus was a Downworlder. But she'd gotten over all that, and Robert was on his way there. As cheesy as it sounded, Alec and Magnus belonged together.

They were still hugging. Maryse smiled softly and left, vowing the same old vow: I will protect him. It was the first thing she'd thought to herself when he was born. And it was what she thought every time she saw him.

He didn't really need protecting anymore. But she would do so anyway, in any way she was able. Her protection, for his safety: it was like a hug to him of her own.

Not so gentle reminder that Alec said this in City of Ashes while he was going to rescue Jace because he thought that since he was gay he wouldn’t deserve to be buried there like other shadowhunters. He probably thought he was going to be buried somewhere at an intersection. Excuse me while I go cry.

"And in their happiness, Magnus had felt himself not just free, but surrounded by an unimaginable glory. Some might have called it the presence of God. Magnus just thought of it as Alexander Gideon Lightwood."

"My love for yours, my heart for yours, my soul for yours, Alexander. Now and for all time."

Me:

Magnus Lightwood-Bane, the man that you are.

Malec kids helping with paperwork

Alec handing in paperwork to the Clave that has crayon drawings all over it. Because his kids were helping him. No, he will not redo them. The Consul better appreciate his kids' artisitc talent. (Also, Magnus saw it happening and added some glitter.)

headcanon inspired by the fic I'm currently reading, Called "Dates" by AngelynMoon

[kasirose]

Wishing the one and only HBIC salt king Alec Lightwood-Bane himself a happy birthday!

[khaleesiofalicante]

Can you believe that alec is going to officiate so many weddings?! Like Clace's and sizzy's and jemma's etc. It will be so cool.

I need a whole novella about wedding officiant alec. that is all.

Okay (apologies for the people who followed me for my mlm yearning posts) so

I found out today that Magnus canonically dog ears books to mark his pages (💔) and so at least one of my favourite characters doesn’t betray me I’m saying that Alec avidly hates this

Has anyone got any evidence or would like to back up my claims here?? Alec definitely reads his books to the point that they’re tatty, but I feel like he would take such good care of them regardless. Meaning trying his best not to crease the spine, not folding the corners of pages down, and basically protecting them with his life. I love the idea of him annotating his books though. Only in pencil and not in massive scribbles, or maybe on post it notes, but mini notes of what something made him feel. Or fact checking a book. “Actually this device wasn’t invented for another 60 years” or “during this era <insert character> would have done this instead”.

I just love books and so does Alec because I said so. Please share canon/headcanons on this because I need more!!
