Thinking About When I First Decided To Write Fanfiction, Without Really Understanding The Community.

Thinking about when I first decided to write fanfiction, without really understanding the community. I was dead set on only writing if it was some new idea that hadn't been touched on yet.

The first thing I wrote? A coffee shop AU.

Part two:

It’s totally normal to know exactly the features your sworn enemy has.

Simon didn’t hesitate for a second to help Baz. And he was absolutely willing to skip all lessons to find Natasha’s killer.

I’m talking about both of them. Simon talks about how Baz has ‘a face for pouting’ and Baz goes on a full monologue on how basic and blue Simon’s eyes are.

The Mage is spending so much time searching for an answer to Simon. But Simon doesn’t need an answer, he just needs someone to love him.

I’m rereading Carry On for the 4th time in less than 18 months and here are some things that stuck out to me. I was reading around a friend and they were so suprised about how into the story I was. But it’s Simon and Baz and Penelope and Agatha. How could you read it and not be fully engrossed? Anyways:

Simon and Agatha didn’t believe for a second Simon would live past this year. That’s why she broke up with him, because she thought she was dating a future funeral.

Penelope is in denial about Simon’s fragility. She believes that Simon would manage to live through the Humdrum if she also fights hard enough.

Simon- Baz’s-eyes-are-the-shade-of-gray-that-happens-when-you-mix-dark-blue-and-dark-green-together Snow.

Simon is obsessed with Baz because Baz represents what the Mage is fighting against. Dark creatures, the Old Families, power. He notices all that as a rebellion.

Also, head over heels in love. But we’ll get to that.

The Mage did everything to fix Simon. Instead of, I don’t know, being a good dad, he became headmaster, did away with the oral exams, reformed the entry so anyone (Simon) could enter, made Simon his heir, gave Simon his sword and wand, started raiding homes for artifacts to fix a child HE broke and made numpties kidnap Baz, and tried to get Simon away from Watford so Simon wouldn’t hear any visitings. Just keep the kid around, man.

Fuck the Mage.

Rainbow putting 3 straight chapters of Baz’s POV is such a good move. She was obsessed with him, Simon was too, and the world deserved as much Baz as we could get.

I will forever love how the millisecond we get Baz reflecting on himself, we get the line “And I’m hopelessly in love with him”.

I was struggling so much on my current WIP, until I decided that the only way to fix it was to write at least 2 times more words, making the timelines and POV's hopelessly intertwined. This is my longest piece by far, and I haven't even reached halfway through the rewrite. Fml.

therapist: cunt dracula is not real and cannot fuck you.

cunt dracula:

Salim would like watching Bake By Mimo.

Not me delusionally thinking that if I don’t read the final chapter of EDENS ZERO it will never happen…
