The art is lovely and now I'm gonna ramble because that's what I do when I care about something.
For the love of women, please PLEASE can fan artists remember to add muscle to their Shadowhunter ladies? I'll commend Bowater for cleverly giving James that sculpted and lean look without making him a beefcake (nothing against beefcakes, I'd love to hug them), but Cordelia is once again suffering from Arms And Shoulders Too Slender It's Hard To Even Imagine Her Picking Up A Sword. There is some there, yes, but artists shouldn't be afraid of giving particularly Female Main Characters weight and toned muscle. Cordelia is supposed to be nearly the same height as James as far as I can remember, and she's curvy, and full, and she wields a sword like it's second nature to her. Please explain why she looks so tiny in James' lap.
Also I'm pretty sure marriage runes are supposed to go over the heart whenever possible (thinking about Will's parabatai rune being over his heart instead -- he didn't get Tessa to draw over the scar, did he??) and... either I'm looking at the picture wrong or James' rune is not over where his heart should be.
For the matter, where are their other runes and scars?? James' Voyance rune isn't even on his hand. And I'm pretty sure he's right handed. I could have that wrong though.
Another thing: no one can ever decide what Cordelia's hair looks like and it's the funniest thing to me. This is what happens when all you do is vaguely say the colour is like fire but also like rose petals but also a flowing river of those things but also is Red (probably for redhead, but then from there I never understand where the rose petal analogy comes from considering the typical rose is a deep bloody colour -- I do acknowledge the existence of those light orange varieties though which might more closely resemble red hair). In the end, I'm glad readers can infer what they want and imagine the characters how they like.
Anyone else think James looks like he's built like a tennis player? Oddly specific, maybe, but it was a thought I had. Mostly the arms and somewhat narrow body.
James' hair is nice, his eyes are an interesting take on gold in the shadows. Bowater managed to also make him look closely related to his father, so bravo for that.
In the end, the focus is obviously on the marriage runes and not other physical aspects outside of it being clear that this is James and Cordelia. Bowater's style is very beautiful and elegant. Love the way fabric and lighting is done too. I'll add also that it is possible to be a smaller person who is slender but still strong so I mean Cordelia's not necessarily done wrong, I just interpret her appearance differently. Obviously, they're both hot and they're both attractive and I have my qualms with the series, chronicles, and author -- the fandom I am so-so on, though I'm still here, aren't I? And I'm taking the time to ramble about my thoughts on a piece of fanart -- but this is good. Gorgeous, even. Both James and Cordelia are beautiful.

Tbh i think I would have a much deeper emotional connection to Fight Club/have it affected me more/be more insane about it if i weren't so spoiled on the main plot twist
I swear it's because of all the memes on Pinterest, they're just too entertaining

Ayo, say hi to Freddy moms
Juniper and Martha Venegas
Info down there 👇👇
Addressing the obvious, Juniper is a trans woman, she transitioned when the family was established (when Freddy was like 4 years old ), though she had always been pretty extravagant, even before transitioning. Martha supported Juniper all the way through and also figured out her own sexuality in the process.
They are pretty open minded (as you can see) and they raised Freddy in a gender-neutral way (?? Idk if that's what it's called). Though also they can be a bit too lenient with Freddy, for better or for worse
Juniper is very experimental with her appearance, (colorful clothes, hair dye, makeup, etc) while Martha is the complete opposite (doesn't care)
Martha is an architect, and Juniper does freelance work from home (I'm not overthinking it)
They are in their late 40s

" My boss knows just what to do ! He's been on many adventures before, this is nothing new to him, ya know? "
Colonel and his (very enthusiastic) friend, who's always hyping him up even though he really isn't the tough action dog he claims to be. She's naive but she has a good heart !

Mirio Blinked. Is... that a possessed stuffed Zorua?-.. Actually no, judging a situation like this might as well be tossing a rock at a glass house. It'd probably be best if he didn't use any illusions talking to the pair, though.
"Oof... You all need a sewing kit? I keep one on hand incase I gotta patch up my tent."
Silas didn't seem very amused by Mirio, he gave them a quick glance before circling around and grabbing at their bag confused.
"What's your fuckin' trainer using you as a pack mule? Yeesh, Blink twice if you need help. They must be a real prick."
"I was a fancy pet too you know. Though I was much fancier than you." Silas said almost mockingly, "Did your trainer throw you away for someone better as well?" He gave a laugh.
"You know one day your gifted to a trainer, next you're their fuckin' pack mule carryin' all their shit. Isn't that how it works for us Zoroarks?" Silas gave an annoyed huff before walking away.
"I don't need your pitiful charity attempt, I'll probably just go steal some shit from 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡 and her stupid ghost."
"She's always had a weird saviour complex anyway, I'm sure this would fulfil some of her stupid little 'I need to help everyone I meet' needs for the day…"
"… As if I would even give that bitch the satisfaction. She doesn't fucking deserve it."

Me and the bestie had unhinged conversation about the rare pair to end all rarepairs, the undertaker/rian this requires either the watching of the book of Atlantic or a thorough reading of the manga to understand but here they are underrian @nullb1rdbones
