Rewatching Shadowhunters… I love Simon and now I have an AU of him as a warlock (young for warlock standards but still maybe a few decades old) who manages to hide it pretty well on missions so he can pull the “surprise bitch you thought” card and pull everyone out of danger at the last second when their enemies don’t know to expect magic. I have so many plot ideas for him Raphael kidnaps the redhead’s mundane friend and whoops would you look at that turns out he accidentally acquired a warlock boyfriend who happens to be a socially awkward force of nature didn’t mean for that to happen but hey it’s working out and I wanna draw him… but what marks to give him…
I’m definitely thinking pointed ears because I think it would be cute, but since I have him as a child of Belial in my mind (come on, it would be so funny to have the son of a demon of trickery be so… Simon) I don’t have any references :( maybe curled lamb horns (small ones) or facial markings of some kind? The face marks would be cool if they glow when he uses magic, but I’d have to think of a good shape… flowing lines that resemble the wind or even wings could be reminiscent of an angel falling from heaven like Belial did. Fox eyes could be a nice nod to the trickery bit too, but please give me more ideas if you have any so I can finish my sketch, please and thank you 🙏
