“Hold on to me," Alec said, and Magnus gave him the sort of smile that made Alec feel like someone had taken an apple corer to his heart and tried to dig out the center.
"I always do, Alexander," he said. "I always do.”
Uni actually giving me time for fanart?! AND AN ACTUAL FULL ONE WITH BACKGROUND AND ALL!?
I’m still going to mostly be lurking on tumblr but when I finish something I’m coming back again💙💙
Alec: Okay, the kids' snack is in the refrigerator, their schedules are written here, they can watch TV but don't leave them unattended for too long and for no, but NO, reason do you let them take a nap. If they sleep their sleep cycle will be a disaster later.
Jace: Bro, relax, everything's going to be okay.
*Magnus in the other room*
Magnus: Okay. Let's go over it.
Rafael: Lunch at 1, snack at 3:30 and dinner when you return. Not eating anything Uncle Jace cooks, not leaving the house to hunt demons even if he says it's safe, and we can't play jumping on the furniture or walls either. We can't do dangerous spells that involve...
Max: I know! I know!
Rafael: But I'm saying it!
Magnus: Let him say one part, go ahead Blueberry.
Max: I can't do spells that involve: fire, breaking things even if they are small, summoning animals that do tsss, or psss, or ksss *putting hands in the shape of little claws*, levitating or summoning demons.
Rafael: We also can't listen to Uncle Jace if he has a new idea about a spell we've never done before.
Magnus: Very good! I am so proud of my little sweets, and what do we do if there is an emergency and daddy or Bapa can't come help?
Both: Call Aunty Catarina and Aunty Clary to save Uncle Jace.
Magnus: Guys, seriously don't do paintball as a double date. It's a bad bonding activity and some people are too good at it.
Lily: I don't know what you're talking about, Mark and I are best friends now.
Magnus: That's because you two just gooffed off in the woods while I was being hunted for sport by my boyfriend.
I want to see Matthew's face when he finds out his older brother is gay and dating his enemy who is also gay and in love with Matthew's best friend who is also gay and in love with Matthew's enemy💀
What if Magnus is the lightwood to die in TWP? His full name now is lightwood-bane, and it would be a curveball, with him being in every series. But also Alec has had to come to terms with the fact that Magnus will outlive him, only for him to outlive Magnus?
some shadowhunter telling alec that it was a shame no one would inherit his blue eyes after he came out and then his and magnus’ son having blue eyes.. yep mhm thats right
• Rafael uses Duolingo to reinforce his Spanish and has a streak of more than 500 days, every morning he sits at the kitchen table to review his notes and argues with his cell phone in Spanish, leaving Alec always confused.
• Max is a fan of everything that ir related to the water because when he was little he was convinced of being a water fairy, initially because of the faeries and later because he fell deeply in love with Silvernist (a character from the fairy world of Tinkerbell). In his adolescence he discovered Percy Jackson and the Olympians, so now he is a voracious reader of youth and fantasy literature.
• Alec isn't very good at showing physical affection or with his words, but that has never stopped him from making his family feel loved. Since they adopted Rafael he has studied Spanish disciplinedly and learned to cook Latin American and Indonesian food for Magnus and Rafe. In the evenings he spends time studying with Max his spells and listening to him talk about his special interests (now both of them are experts on whales).
• Magnus was terrified at the idea of being a father, specially a bad one, and he's still not sure if he's doing it right most of the time, so he signed up for mundane parenting courses that Catarina recommended to him and read dozens of books on child and adolescent development, parenting and healing your inner child in sicret, so as not to transmit his traumas to children.
• Chairman Meow now has a little brother named Mandarina, at the children's request, an orange cat who has come to test his patience. Even with that he wouldn't change his family.
