I am very excited for the interactions between Simon and Baz in Wayward Son, but do you want to know what I’m just as equally excited for???? Finally meeting Micah!! Seeing Penny and Micah be just as adorable and happy as Simon and Baz!!! Yes!!

... indeed

Some of y’all never thought about the fact that Baz always calls Simon “Snow”, but eventually he’s either gonna have to call him Pitch (or he will have to clarify he’s referring to Simon and not Himself) because they’ll both have the same last name and it shows.

Ok so im reading carry on and spells are just phrases that get used alot right? And the more normals use them the more powerful so. What aim saying is. MEME SPELLS

“Hey dude can u get rid of this for me”

“Sure” *points wand* “This bitch empty”

the garbage goes FLYING into the trash

Okay but Given is such an important anime. They talk about their sexuality and feelings like normal. It's so important how a teenager is confused and asks the older man he looks up to about his feelings and in response he's told that "it's normal,many people go through that feelings and there's nothing wrong with it"

Given is godsend

i wanna see how big we are

Can we admire how much Carry On breaks the normal rules of fantasy?

-The antogonist that the protagonist always despised gets a happy ending that is as important and relevant as the protagonist’s

-The perfect girl realizes she doesn’t want to just be one factor in a happy ending

-The perfect girl decides she wants to live her life without any attachements to some prophecy/quest

-The mentor that our protagonist looks up to is actually a horrible, manipulative person that is at fault for most of the horrible things in his life

-10/10 positive and accurate representation

-The happy ending is filled with as much grief as joy

-Instead of just a happy ending, you are allowed to see the emotional damage and impact on a character

-FUCKING THERAPY BC THE CHARACTERS NEED IT???

(Feel free to carry on if I forgot anything)

Like honestly I could never thank Rainbow Rowell for breaking boundaries and exceeding my expectations of fantasy and writing in general

i need this tattooed on my forehead

also the space it gives Simon to realize his sexuality w/o pressure and the confidence Baz has on his

portrayal of a loving and healthy friendship (Penny & Simon) where they can openly love each other without it being romantic

honestly all the diferent kinds of love you can see (including Agatha’s for Simon and herself)

Whenever I talk to my friend about Carry On, he always says it's stupid and just like Twilight. I don't know enough about Twilight to argue against it. But he says, "It's vampires and romance, it's basically the same thing." Is there any chance you can give me a compelling argument it's not, or direct me to one?

So. Full disclosure. I’ve never read more than half of the first Twilight book but I have seen some of the movies.

First off. Comparing something to Twilight as a way of putting down a work is outdated, boring, stale and lazy. Twilight, while far from a perfect work, helped start a wave (good or bad) for YA media, female heroines taking agency for their own wants, and mainstream media making content teen girls want to see. Twilight was a cultural landmark and while yes, it’s kind of cringe, you know what? People liked it. People enjoyed it. People enjoying things isn’t a bad thing! Media that is fun does not = bad.

So what your friend is saying really isn’t that he thinks Carry On sounds like Twilight, he’s saying it sounds like something that teen girls would enjoy and that descriptor, to him, is cringey because he’s stating he finds media that appeals to that demographic as Lesser.

And you know what? I guess he’s right because it is vampires and romance. But it’s far far more similar to Harry Potter. It’s a comedy and self aware, unlike Twilight, and while Twilight took itself far too seriously, Carry On openly laughs at itself and in the process of being irreverent repeatedly stumbles into some really gut wrenching emotional realities.

Yes. Twilight is about romance but Carry On is about friends and finding your place and identity and taking risks. Carry On is hugely popular amongst the queer demographic specifically because it is irreverent, camp, outlandish, funny, and entirely true to itself.

But in the end these reasons don’t matter because your friend, by comparing to Twilight, doesn’t care if it’s good or not. He just doesn’t want to be associated with something that brings joy to a demographic that he has been conditioned to view as invalid, unserious, and undeserving of respect, because if he were to read and take joy in it, he’d have to face the fact that these labels and assumptions are bullshit.

Thank you so much for this. The first friend I tried to show Carry on to skimmed the blurb and said something along the lines of vampire twilight nerd shit and for me who absolutely loved this book it really hurt as for some stupid reason I felt bad for enjoying a book so much. So this message is extremely meaningful and I am so happy to be a part of this fandom and respect this wonderful piece of literature.
