Thought you might like my college graduation cap @rainbowrowell 🥰

I had a very hard time picking what Simon Snow quote I wanted to use for this, so there’s some other grad cap designs below the cut that are free to steal, if anyone else wants to use them! You don’t have to, but it would be awesome if you tagged me if you end up using them so I can see 👀

There’s also a little love letter to the Simon Snow series, so proceed if you dare 😆

A. “Light a match inside your heart”

B. “May you fight your own battles and forge your own wings”

C. “It’s the good things that hurt when you’re missing them” featuring a border of building silhouettes from your campus

D. “Never let them tell you you’re not magic”

E. “I know that things will only get better if good people fight for what’s important” featuring a border of flowers (I know they don’t look like flowers here lol)

All quotes are courtesy of the wonderful Rainbow Rowell from the Simon Snow series :)

(I’m about to get mushy, so beware) Picking a quote from this series for my graduation cap was a no-brainer for me. This series has had an insane impact on my life, to the point where I genuinely don’t know where I’d be without it. From first picking Carry On up the week I turned 15, to having to physically restrain myself from reading WS in one sitting because it was my first hard week of college as a freshman, to reading AWTWB in one sitting the day it released despite being on a family vacation. From starting a sideblog, to making art and fics about it with my sister, and to looking through art or fics when I was having a panic attack to help me calm down. To the amazing community I’ve found online with the most talented and kind people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. My life has been fundamentally changed for the better because I decided to pick up Carry On in January 2016, and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Alright everyone, give em to me. Gimmie your favorite Snowbaz fics. Give them all to me- I am so greedy. And so, so hungry. I want to devour these boys whole.

[youarenevertooold]

Okie Dokie

So here's my list of fics that I think fulfil different tropes or scratch particular itches. Asking me to choose my favourite fics is an absolutely impossible ask, but these are some that come to mind without me trawling through nearly 300 bookmarks. Ahem.

@thewholelemon and @alexalexinii have already mentioned a few that I definitely would have mentioned, so definitely go check out all their recommendations too. I've included the ratings for each, but make sure to always check tags.
