Some Simon Snow Rant

When people say Simon Snow is bisexual and Rainbow Rowell didn’t acknowledge it in Carry On, I want to lean really close to them and whisper “bisexuality isn’t the only sensuality other than gay and straight”

Like can’t you see what she did there? She stated it’s ok to not label yourself, it’s ok to be confused about yourself, it’s ok to question yourself. It does not invalidate who you love. You can be confused about your sexuality and still fall in love. I mean I don’t know about you but I really needed that.

“You can be confused about your sexuality and still fall in love.”

Say it louder for the people in the back.

It always maddens me when people really kind of blame her for things like: why didn’t you confirm his sexuality? and then act like it’s her being disrespectful or smth? it’s actually the opposite and such an excellent example of good storytelling and giving depth to characters, two criteria I, personally, love most about her writing style and make her my favourite author

[magickspills]

Labels don’t define who you are. You can love whomever you please. The thing about Rainbow Rowell is that’s she went on her own course. She wrote a story about a not-so-good magician who struggles with magic and is supposed to be the chosen one and she gives him a roommate who’s a complete and utter arse you him but gives you a little present:

The roommate is gay and in love with him.

Now, what I like about what Rainbow’s done with Carry On is that she gave you a gay character who pretty much self loathing towards himself BUT NOT BECAUSE HE’S GAY, he’s confident with himself and he’s proud of his sexuality, and I’m so just so happy Rainbow created Baz.

But with Simon, she didn’t give him a label. He’s not gay, he’s not bisexual, he’s just Simon Snow who has a boyfriend, who he cares for deeply and I just melt thinking about it. Because Simon doesn’t need a label to show just how courageous he is and how he’s always ready to help someone, he doesn’t need a label to be Simon Snow.

something i feel is widely underappreciated in the carry on fandom: the “because we match” quote is on page 420

sharing a room with the person you want most is like sharing a room with an open fire.  he’s constantly drawing you in. and you’re constantly stepping too close. and you know it’s not good—that there is no good—that there’s absolutely nothing that can ever come of it.  but you do it anyway.  and then …  well. then you burn.

baz: i am a big scary vampire snow i deserve some recognition it takes a lot of hard work to achieve this status 

also baz: oh my god a spider help me simon get rid of it like right now 

[boyinjeans]

i think it’s great how both simon and baz can be seen as ice and fire.

baz is, well, dead, so he’s physically cool to the touch. he’s also a very cold person in nature, in that he isolates himself and has a sharp tongue. but also, he contains this passion in him, a love for simon that burns deeply. that, and he can summon fire.

simon is a literal human firecracker. baz says he warms up rooms with his magic. he’s the sun. when he goes off, he singes the ground around him. he’s hotheaded. he’s also cold in the sense that he was isolated by the mage for so long, hidden from the magickal world, neglected and abused, given the cold shoulder. he didn’t choose to isolate himself like baz did, though. that, and his name is literally simon snow.

that’s all. :^]

In celebration of the announcement of wayward son, I painted this @rainbowrowell

[great-merlins-beard-deactivated]

@basic-banshee has these headcanons about Baz wearing leather jackets and being obsessed with The Smiths that have been pushing at my head for awhile and I finally ended up drawing it today. And I gotta tell you, I think Simons jaw would drop if he saw Baz wearing this outfit with a man bun. That boy would probably die
