I think the reason Heated Rivalry has bewitched me -body and soul- is I haven't seen so much queer joy in one show ever.

Yes there is angst and secrecy and oppression but there is laughter and smiles and caring for each other.

Yes the sex is wonderful and tender and funny but the physicality isn't the reason for showing the sex: we have those real moments of connection, of reaching out and being heard and loved where you are.

We have more than just Ilya and Shane too- we've got Kip and Scott. We've got Kip's queer friend group. We have bisexuals and straight people who value and care about queer people and their struggles, their happiness and their right to privacy. We got to see the first transgender NHL player in a cameo! That's fucking mind-blowing.

The show doesn't tell you how to love, it shows you a thousand ways that can look

This show says We are here. Everywhere. And we will keep loving throughout all of this heartache.

Happy 10th anniversary to Carry On, the book that threw me bodily into fandom spaces. I’m so glad to be here 💕

— — — —

Like Simon, this is waaaaaay overdue—I sent these out as valentines to a few fandom friends earlier this year :)

And because I’m a librarian and a big ol’ nerd, I actually catalogued the book and assigned a proper dewey decimal number, and figured out a way to print on legit catalog cards (we have boxes of the things still, from back in the day when a search engine was just your fingers, riffling through a drawer full of cards)

And yes. Gaylord was an actual company that made these.

Happy 10 years of magic, suffering, more magic, more suffering (but it’s productive this time!), and being well gay in ikea to Carry On!! 💙💛

Thanks, @rainbowrowell for blessing us with these stories (and all the words you share with us 🖤)

I love that the modern-day tumblr post equivalent of chain emails only requires me to reblog a relatively pleasant image instead of forward an email to a bunch of my friends and family members to quell my raging anxiety.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

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.

HAPPY (slightly belated) 10th ANNIVERSARY TO CARRY ON 💛🩵

This was meant to be released on the 6th, but life does happen, and life did a woozy on me. However, I managed to fork out a storyboard finally.

This series means a lot to me. I read it when I was in a darker part of my life and it was just the right thing for me. It filled me with a wave of inspiration and hope that I didn’t know I needed. And the community is one of the nicest I’ve ever been in.

Thank you for bringing these characters into the world. Let’s keep carrying on.
