Day 24: Home
"We’ve got the best room at Watford." - Simon, Carry On
"I’m home. Finally." -Baz, Carry On
“It will always be our room more than anyone else’s.” -Simon, Any Way The Wind Blows
"I grew up at the top of a tower. With you." -Baz, Wayward Son
"This was our place. Watford. Ours like no one else’s." - Simon, Any Way The Wind Blows
There was only one choice for me when it came to this prompt!
I designed this months ago in Procreate, but then I brought it into Hatch Embroidery software, and machine embroidered it onto linen using my Brother embroidery machine. It was looking a little stark so I added some greenery by hand, then glued it to a piece of chipboard. It still was looking fairly stark so I used some watercolors to give it a little more warmth. Then I finished it off with gold braid.

A Watford ornament for Carry On Countdown Day One: First Year
This prompt immediately made me think of Watford so that's what I went with! This year for the Countdown, I'm making ornaments and holiday decorations (hopefully) every day. (We'll see.)
I designed this in Procreate, put it through Hatch Embroidery software, embroidered it using my Brother embroidery machine, then sewed it together by hand, beaded it, stitched on gold braid, then hot glued on more gold braid to hide the other gold braid that looked bad.
Simon really was born in June.
(This was three months before Fangirl came out.)
happy ten year anniversary to carry on by @rainbowrowell !!
this is a redraw of something that i made for the very first carry on countdown, and this drawing is very special to me because it was the first thing i uploaded to hit 1k notes (and that was a crazy feat at the time considering the size of the fandom)
I didn't have a drawing tablet, or a smart phone, so uploading those drawings was a whole ordeal but I loved that time so much
y'all have seen me through many eras (and many usernames as you can see lol. shoutout to anyone that's followed me since gaylord-arts omg i love you.) time for sappy thoughts under the cut:
Happy 10th Anniversary Carry On. This book changed my life forever, and I’ll always be grateful for it. Thank you my friends in the fandom for the love and community—you’re so special to me. And dear @rainbowrowell thank you for sharing a bit of your magic with us.
✨Magic separate us from the world, let nothing separate us from each other. ✨
Carry On Countdown Day 1: Something Old
"Watford has been here since the 1500s. It's set up like a walled city--fields and woods outside the walls, buildings and courtyards inside."
Huge shout out to my collaborator @rimeswithpurple, who recreated all the little buildings in stunning detail so I could print them on fabric.
A decade of Simon Snow ...
I've been real emotional thinking about this anniversary. Sometimes you can't appreciate the SCOPE of something until you're through it.
The Simon Snow Trilogy followed my two most popular books (from a sales perspective). But THESE three books, and THESE readers, and THIS experience ... It was all completely different.
I'm going to try to share some memories and artifacts all week. But one thing that I've been thinking a lot about is -- Simon Snow readers are special because they have a great sense of humor.
Like, the whole experience of these books for me was really FUN. Even during some truly UN-fun years. Sure, some people were jerks. And some people didn't get it. But, by and large, Simon Snow readers tell the best jokes and laugh at the best jokes. As I was assembling memories for this video, the memes were as important as the art.
Sometimes I'll cross paths with another book fandom, and I'll be struck by how serious and literal and ... weird ... everyone is being.
Thank you for mostly not being weird! Thank you for being funny!
I think funny people are smart people. People who can see absurdity and nuance. Whose brains are nimble enough to really rotate and shake an idea.
You guys were so smart and funny, it allowed me to make the books smarter and funnier and weirder (in a good way!).
After Carry On, I felt like I could really push the characters and push the concept and take narrative risks. I always knew you would get it.

TEN YEARS OF CARRY ON
This video should be on Tumblr, its natural habitat, but I'm making do.
(I wish this were an hour long so that I could have included more, but then only I would sit through it.)
Congrats on hitting 3k followers!
Could we please have some cuddly (or steamy 👀) snowbaz, please?
I hope you have a great day! 💙
People think Baz is all sharp lines and cold logic.
And maybe he is—in a lecture hall, with his sleeves rolled and a room full of stubborn students. He is brilliant. And brutal, sometimes. Intimidating in the perfect, untouchable way he carries himself.
I used to believe that version of him, too. Used to think that was all there was.
Until he let me meet this Baz.
The one in heart-print boxers and a messy bun, knocked out on our pink couch with his head in my lap. His shirt’s half-unbuttoned and wrinkled from the day, and his breathing is soft and steady. This is the Baz who lets me run my fingers through his hair until he melts under my touch.
Who only ever really sleeps like this, like he’s safe, when I’m the one holding him.
And I think, I get to see him like this.
Not the world’s idea of him.
Him.
My Baz.
snowbaz wedding sketch based off that one picture @simon-pitch posted ✨
baz pitch really is such a funny character if you think about it. if you take away all of his and simon's musings about how he's an Evil Plotting Vampire and look at it from an outsider's perspective, he's really just some guy. like all he does is walk around campus, he has 1 friend (the other is his cousin so he doesn't count), and he LIKES to do homework ahead of material studied in class. he's literally just some random 18 year old nerd
Learning about how Niamh sees Baz from her point of view was the most hilarious thing that happened in the trilogy because she simply could not be more unbothered by Baz’s existence. Everyone else thinks he’s so cool and so smart and such a good mage. But Niamh is like. Basilton Pitch? Who is that? Who is he? It’s HILARIOUS. Simon is so fully obsessed with every little thing Baz does but nobody else cares about him the way he does.
yes! i love niamh as a character because she perfectly encapsulates what all other regular people would think of the main characters in a fantasy book, like "ugh you guys kept fighting monsters in the hallways while i tried to get to class it was soo annoying." and of course she doesn't know baz, he was some nerd who didn't speak to anyone lmaoooo
I made Simon a rival :)
Put these two up on my redbubble as well! Check it out in my bio ^^
