Nobody gives Simon enough credit, he wasn’t wrong. Baz was plotting.

(Plotting how to get in Simon’s pants but plotting nonetheless)

Somehow I forgot I did these after finishing Anyway the Wind Blows.... I think I made them to celebrate the end of the Carry On series... Well... they're a bit late for the party but here they are I guess ^^

The Chosen One

I was meant to be doing assignments but I instead finished this I had saved up for half a year now LMAO. Just felt like I needed to continue it again!! This was my little break from doing assignments bc I had just handed up 1 out of the 3 I had. Honestly, I can try putting this in my 30 minute presentation actually lolol (with some effort)

Carry on my wayward son! (Look everyone, an angel!)

[lamentable-comedy]

obsessed with the fact that baz is so good at seeming cool on the outside that no one notices he's never actually made a friend in his life.

at watford he hung out with his cousin (would have known him before school) and his cousin's roommate (dev made friends with niall and brought him along to hang out with baz). in carry on and after watford his friends are penny (package deal with simon) and shepard (decided he was friends with the group of them regardless of what they wanted).

this man doesn't know how to make friends. he knows how to have the same taste in friends as his relatives and boyfriend. and how to stand around looking cool and aloof so that people think he's mysterious instead of an awkward loser. i adore him.

well i can't stop thinking about carry on (once again) so i drew penny and agatha 💗

[andchatelaines]

“we need more complex female characters” y’all couldn’t even handle agatha wellbelove 😔

"My darling. My love. It's all right."

This artwork is so beautiful, and it sent me back to writing this scene and how worried I was that it wouldn’t land and make sense. I’m still not sure about one line:

I hope it’s clear that Simon was at first kissing Baz in a passionate way, in a wanting way. But at some point, he got overwhelmed and started clinging to Baz, panicking. And Baz isn’t sure when that change happened. Baz feels so confused and guilty. Was he so caught up in his own desire that he missed Simon’s distress?

“The wind has changed.” I’m still not sure that phrase does enough to make it clear what’s happened, given the chaos of the moment.

@artsyunderstudy, your work is so lovely and evocative — you make me homesick for my own characters. 💛

[artsyunderstudy]

Okay, so. First of all oh my god, thank you for this response. I'm always so touched when you enjoy my art, and this scene in particular just rocked me to my core.

So I actually listened to the audiobooks on my first read of the series, and I was so fully and completely rapt by all of Any Way the Wind Blows. Like, I loved Carry On, and Wayward Son was such an unexpectedly impactful follow up because you actually talked about trauma and no one does that in these kinds of stories. And then Any Way the Wind Blows, I literally couldn't stop.

But I remember exactly where I was when I listened to this scene. I was laying on my couch at night, all the lights off, on my back, big bulky headphones on. And I was just there. Like Baz, I wasn't expecting it. And at first I was thrilled, but with this undercurrent of worry. There was anxiety in his passion. And a feeling of Baz being tugged along by the current of passion. And I felt it viscerally, the emotional turn in this scene. To the point I literally stopped breathing. And I think it was that exact moment that Baz realized, and I realized too. It was just so good, the scene worked so well and I've never read anything like that, I don't think. I stopped the audiobook and just laid there for a while to catch my breath, and then I immediately went back to listen to it again.

Anyway, I think it's beautiful. I think it worked perfectly.

[rainbowrowell]

It’s hard for me to believe now that when I started Carry On and wrote Agatha as being so disdainful of Ebb, I had no idea how their lives would wind together, or what lay head for Agatha. It seems so FATED now.

But even the scene where Agatha comes to Watford, at the end of Carry On, was a late addition. Agatha wasn’t part of the ending in my first draft. She was lying in her bed at her parents’ house, dreaming of Lucy Salisbury.

I kept thinking that I didn’t know what to do with Agatha — and then realizing that I had to do something with Agatha. And then she became absolutely essential to the larger story.
