There have been times when I wonder if someone once cast isn’t it ironic? on me and never bothered to take it off, because at this moment the illegal mobile hidden in my pocket (I don’t care what the Mage says, I’m not leaving my music behind) switches songs, and the Pixies comes on, the bass thrumming out the opening chords to Here Comes Your Man.

– rebel rebel, by BasicBathsheba

No one does it like Ban does. All of Ban’s writing is stunning, and rebel rebel is practically compulsory reading in this fandom. This scene in particular seared itself into my brain when I first read it in 2018 and hasn’t faded one bit.

Just need to shout into the void about Ban Gilmartins writing for a hot sec and remind you all that this person (idk pronouns, sorry) wrote the hands down best fics known to man kind with absolutely perfect characters and setting that both match the original And could stand on their own as publishable works, and that my lovely chaps is my final word on the matter

Can I just link it like that? I’m relatively new to fic (shocking, I know. I’ve been involved with Fandom culture since I was like 12 and I still haven’t put myself on the list or whatever it is to get an account on ao3.) so if I don’t know fic-sharing etiquette or whatever it is (I’m also half asleep right now, so please forgive what a mess of a post this is) just call me out or something.

I read BasicBathsheba's "This Must be the Place" (so good) and now I can't get Kishi Bashi's voice out of my head.

“Since being back at school for the past month, it seems that every person I’ve ever met — and some I haven’t — have had something to say about my grand gay reveal. I hadn’t thought it would be this interesting, and it’s not like I hired a skywriter. I just showed up with a fucking pin.” -Baz Pitch, from chapter 9 of rebel rebel by @basic-banshee

I don’t have many opportunities to contribute creatively to fandom here on tumblr because my job sucks all my creative juices, but I couldn’t resist drawing Baz’s coming out from rebel rebel, my current favorite WIP. (I also might be unable to resist drawing the kiss scene in the most recent chapter in which Simon wears this very jacket.) So thank you, Ban, for the amazingly inspiring content!
