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!

Happy birthday to my favorite archer boy. You are and will always will be extraordinary. Thankyou for being one of my biggest inspiration.

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

i want to know more about the laws alec has implemented since he became consul. like i, an alec lightwood obsessed freak would love to read his legislature

[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.

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

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!!

“Iz,” Alec said tiredly. “It’s not like it’s one big bad thing. It’s a lot of little invisible things. When Magnus and I were traveling, and I’d call from the road, Dad never asked how he was. When I get up to talk in Clave meetings, no one listens, and I don’t know if that’s because I’m young or if it’s because of something else. I saw Mom talking to a friend about her grandchildren and the second I walked into the room they shut up. Irina Cartwright told me it was a pity no one would ever inherit my blue eyes now.” He shrugged and looked toward Magnus, who took a hand off the wheel for a moment to place it on Alec’s. “It’s not like a stab wound you can protect me from. It’s a million little paper cuts every day.”

The vial shook in her hand as pale smoke poured from its open neck, the expelled breath of hundreds of Nephilim. It formed into words across the air. ALEXANDER GIDEON LIGHTWOOD. Clary and Jace flung themselves at Alec, laughing, as the air exploded with cheers. Aline and Helen gave Alec a mutual thumbs-up. The Projections of Isabelle and Simon waved from the back of the room. The Blackthorns whooped and applauded; Emma whistled. Maryse Lightwood wiped away tears of happiness as Kadir patted her shoulder gently. “Alec Lightwood,” cried Jia. “Please rise. You are the new Consul of the Clave.

Queen of Air and Darkness.

From this to that. From standing in the shadows to shining brighter than the sun. You've come a long way.

Happiest Birthday Archer Boy!!!!
