“I could have your head for this,” Baz says, his biting, breathless tone undercut by the tender look in his eyes.

I rub a thumb over the shell of his ear. His cheekbone. The wet hair, stuck and curled at his temple.

“You could have anything you wanted,” I answer, roughly.

Logo reveal! ✨️ Here's the finished design for a fictious Simon Snow anime!

I posted a bunch of the concepts earlier this month. It was hard to choose which one to go with...!

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.

“One kiss, and you think the world is upside down.”

“Two kisses,” I say. And I take him by the back of his neck.

so maybe I’ve been rereading carry on. and maybe I decided I needed to redraw this old pic I drew of them. maybe.

i love simon's list about all the things he misses about watford because it's like sour cherry scones, penny, football pitch (baz is strong, graceful, fucking ruthless), school uniform (baz is tall), my room (our room, baz smells like cedar and bergamot), the mage, magic, ebb (baz teases me), the wavering wood, agatha (last seen with baz) like simon, please

simon-pitch

oh. he was wild

fact is that after the humdrum and the mage are gone, simon goes into full on exhaustion mode. because he was on survival instinct for years and years, his body is secretly absolutely wrecked and the second he finally has real peace, he is EXHAUSTED. so he sleeps. so much. and literally anywhere. and baz loves it. simon falls asleep on baz on the couch, in the train, in the car. baz loves that simon feels safe with him and that he can finally rest. and since baz is most likely also exhausted, they have sooo many cuddle sessions, slow mornings and couch dates.

spoiler for sotr

okay i haven’t seen a post about this yet so here goes: i’m so sure lucy gray is lenore doves mother, because tam amber said „not again“ when lenore dove died of the poisoning, which leads me to the conclusion that snow killed lucy gray years after their situationship by poisoning her in the same way that lenore dove was poisoned. also, they have the same name.
