Part Three:

Part Three:

Baz knowing that Simon couldn't function without food, so as soon as they started to look for Nico, he brought food up to their room so Simon could think.

Simon was 1000% about to skip lessons to find Nico. Baz had to convince him that it was alright to go.

I've talked about it before but the lightning turnaround from not touching, to shoulder touching, to holding hands to laying hands on chests makes me rethink about how whipped Simon is.

Simon always went to Baz first, he always barreled forward when it came to Nico.

"Baz floats... it's the prettiest thing I've ever seen." SIMON YOU ARE CURRENTLY FIGHTING A DRAGON. Not a great time to admire your 'sworn enemy'.

We know everything that Simon was wearing when he showed Baz the stars. Except there were no details about a shirt. I feel so bad for Baz.

"It was just flirting, it's not like I tried to feed her to a chimera," What, pray tell, does that even mean Baz. Was the chimera an attempt for flirting? Baz really does the most.

Simon didn't think to call, even at least an hour into his travels to meet Baz.

The FIRST thing- not even a "hello" or "sorry I showed up unannounced"- out of Simon's mouth at Hampshire was "Baz- you're wearing jeans," Even when we switch to his POV, he is still talking about the jeans in detail. I want to know the brand. "Jeans so nice they make the person you are hopelessly in love with fall for you," could be the slogan.

"[Mordelia's] pretty, but not like Baz". I believe the word Simon is looking for is 'whipped'.

Simon defending that Baz is alive... it's so sweet...

"I fall asleep better, listening to Baz breathe, than I have since winter break started."

Fiona knows that Baz is trying to impress someone...

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”.

the Final Part.

The entirtey of Chapter 61 is fantastic.

62 is so good too, them just rolling around making up for years of kisses in one night...

Baz finding food for Simon again...

I wish Baz had taken Simon up on the offer to see a psychiatrist (it's a throwaway line in the epilogue). He could probably benefit from some therapy.

When Baz shows Simon his fangs- undisputed proof he is a vampire- the only thing Simon thinks to say is "Wicked,"

Vera is a real one for ignoring the fact that she saw the two making out...

Simon running to Baz's house because he just learned that he is madly l love...

Okay on to the final part....

"I'm sorry all the good stuff happened after I left you,"

That line tore me up a little bit.

The Mage would have destroyed the Humdrum with Simon's power, probably in the exact same way Simon did (IF the Mage could have given up any kind of power). He just wanted it for himself.

There is no way that the Mage ever saw Simon as a child, to Davy, Simon was only power. As soon as he saw Simon as a child, he was disappointed.

Simon picked up on some of the Mage's ideas about him, highlighted in his conversation with Baz. But he is not his magick, the magick was one component of who he is. He survived before and he will survive after.

The Mage is such a complicated and nuanced character. He has some good ideas with his reforms and he opened Watford up to hundreds of students. But he went about it in the wrong way and traumatized Simon, made Baz a vampire, and killed Natasha and l

I’ll finish this post out with a good old

How am I supposed to be okay with this? I want to read about their wedding and marriage and mortgage so badly…

rainbow rowell just casually confirming simon and baz are married with absolutely no warning 😭

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.

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

cunt dracula:

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.
