“Go,” she says. “He waits for you.”

- Thetis, The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Special thanks to my Greek language guru @carryonsimoncarryonbaz for help with the translation of Achilles and Patroclus’s names. ❤️

Meet me in the pouring rain, kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain. 🎶

I’m crowning this extra cheesy and soft Snowbaz’ fanart with a Taylor Swift song? Yes. In my mind they were on a date in London were Baz read books and Simon ate curry, hahaha.

“I fall asleep better, listening to Baz breathe.”

—Chapter 55, Carry On by @rainbowrowell

I finally finished the comic for this small scene of Simon looking for Baz when he was afraid. They sleeping in the same room was a goal by the time (🤫) and actually after two books I still found it as a very sweet moment, because that last line “than I have since winter break started” was Simon’s way to say “I’ve been missing you” and it was a total high point of feelings the first time I read Carry On.

INK-A-THON DAY 25: WIND

The wind is blowing Simon’s hair straight, and he’s squinting—from the sun and from all the smiling. “What!” he shouts at me again.

“You’re so beautiful!” I shout back.

He turns the radio down, so now there’s just the wind and the engine noise to shout over. “What’d you say?!”

“Nothing!”

INK-A-THON DAY 27: NASTY

Baz takes my Frappuccino and sucks down a huge gulp. “Disgusting.” He hands it back to me. “Not like unicorn at all.”

- Wayward Son by @rainbowrowell

Had to pull out the colored Copics and acrylic paint pens for this one because there’s really no way to do a grayscale Unicorn Frappuccino and retain the same effect. LOL

Shoutout to my inktober compatriots who are muscling through this with me. The end is in sight! Hang in there!

Happy 5 Year Anniversary to Carry On by @rainbowrowell

There are no words to express my love and appreciation for these books, so I hope this piece suffices 💛💙

WE ARE DOING THIS THING, Y’ALL! 

So, it was brought to my attention yesterday that the official Inktober guy Jake Parker is embroiled in scandal thanks to plagiarizing the work of artist of color Alfonso Dunn in his book Inktober All Year Long. For this reason, I’ve made my own Inktober prompt list this year. It was compiled with input from @argylefetish, @carryonsimoncarryonbaz​, and my hubs to ensure it’s as random as I could make it. (Goodness knows I can’t make things easy for myself, now can I?)

Per the votes of many Instagrammers, Wayward Son is this year’s Ink-a-thon theme, continuing the Simon Snow series tradition from last year. Generally, I’m giving myself about 2 hours each night to do illustrations based on the book in good old permanent ink, so please manage expectations and do be kind. 

(As you can see, I’ve got my work cut out for me. 😅)

If YOU would like to use this list, please go right ahead! I’d love to see what it inspires!

Alrighty folks. I have no idea if I’m going to complete it this year, especially given the pandemic and the election, but I’m gonna give it a shot. Say a prayer and see you back here tomorrow night with “DRAMATIC”!

INK-A-THON DAY 13: FORMAL

It’s an extra generous spill of curls. More golden than ever from all these days in the sun. That haircut cost more than his entire wardrobe.

Fem baz and Simon !

[henreyettah]

I like to think that Baz is a bit weak for wild, feral-ish Simon. Especially with his wings out. (And bonus points if he’s a lil bloody).

[heynhycs]

Baz is weak for SIMON, period.
