“There had always been a part of me that thought guys like that were the luckiest because they could pass as straight. But now I realized just the opposite was true; being able to pass for something you’re not is kind of a curse. Especially if you try it.”

I read the Song of Achilles and fell in love with this book :)

[cutepieceofpoop]

I may be (very) late to the party, but I recently read Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, and here’s the thing: I fucking love how she wrote Simon and Baz’s sexualities. Like, you have Baz, who’s always known he’s hoplessly queer, and that makes his life that much easier, even if not everyone accepts him. He knows who he is and what he wants and that’s great, it’s just so normal to him.  And then there’s Simon, who doesn’t know what the actual fuck is going on, but that’s okay too, he just loves who he loves and doesn’t worry about labeling himself until he’s got it all figured out. It’s alright to have always known and it’s also alright to be confused, and the fact that both of these things are shown as normal and okay in this book means so much to my bi ass and ohmygodrainbowjustthankyouforthisiloveyou

[atekyunas]

Tribute illustration to one of the most beautiful story I’ve ever read, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, by Benjamin Alire Saenz

[yinnezha]

lit otps ≡ basilton grimm-pitch & simon snow (carry on) For a moment — not even a moment, a split second — I imagine him saying, ‘The truth is, I’m desperately attracted to you.’ And then I imagine myself spitting in his face, and then I imagine licking it off his cheek and kissing him. (Because I’m disturbed. Ask anyone.)

Okay but seriously real talk. Literally there were just so many beautiful quotes is Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.

- “The problem with my life was that it was someone else’s idea.”

- “Birds exist to teach us about the sky.

- “There are worse things in the world than a boy who likes to kiss other boys.”

- “How could I ever be ashamed of loving Dante Quintana?”

- “I got to thinking that poems were like people. Some people you got right off the bat. Some people you just didn’t get - and never would.”

- “I bet you could sometimes find all the mysteries of the universe in someone’s hand.”

LIKE WTF THIS BOOK IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND DEEP AND JUST SO WONDERFUL

Writing Advice: it doesn’t matter if an idea has been done before. It’s never been done by you. So long as you do it well, and in your own way, it’s a wonderful contribution.
