Carry On Rainbow Rowell - Tumblr Posts

bro ok so carry on fandom answer me a question please - why is it that unless it’s a human AU people are so reluctant to describe Baz as having darker skin or ethnic features?

i know you guys know what you’re doing with this, but why though??

hes mixed, yeah, but he looks like his mum. we all know this. his egyptian mother. and yeah, rainbow rowell decided to suck the melanin outta him despite giving it to him pre-vampification

(i’m still pissed that penny was offended that simon assumed an asian girl would have an asian name. she’s not that good with ethnic characters let’s be fr.)

so why are you guys going along with the whitewashed pale version of Baz?? cause the human au fanfics tell me you guys know he’s MENA. he doesn’t have to be deathly pale bc he’s a vampire you know.

man, even if u want him pale….olive skin is a thing??? now i’m south asian, not MENA but it grates me to read him so white washed regardless. i read the fanfics anyways bc i kinda have to if i want a variety in fan content but it’s frustrating nonetheless.

anyways white fic authors, please do your research. i’m begging you. i’ve never read a fic where he even speaks arabic. his mothertongue. he’s spoken everything from greek to latin in fics but not his own language?? like come on guys

the reason i’m bringing this up is because im writing a muslim!baz fic atm after reading this fic:

this is literally the only fic i’ve come across where Baz is still a vampire and brown. come on man, we should be better than this

The first chapter of my Muslim!Baz fic is OUT XD

i did a few edits and left it there for now because i wanted to get it out before ramadaan started since....well it takes place during ramadaan and since it's a holy month...and i feel weird writing fic during it so it wouldnt get released until after eid otherwise

whaT IS A CANDY BAR? like is it a chocolate bar? a bar of whatever the fuck haribo is made of? like the rest of the book had A* british slang and language but as a british person i have no idea what a candy bar is

would anyone be interested in a ww1 au with agatha x niamh?

Women in ww1 are currently giving me brainrot so I need to get it out before it kills me

When I actually have all of them that I doubt my existence....

Hello, there!

I've gathered my courage and decided to start posting here after some time of wondering around and barely commenting on posts (idk tumblr could be scary)...

I'm gonna post about fandoms in here. I have been talking about them to my friends (even though they mostly don't know about them) but now there are some that I really want them to watch and I don't want to give them spoilers and it's hard for me not to talk about the things I like... so yeah, here i am.

I also hope to be able to talk to ppl that actually know what I'm talking about for a change! Though I warn you that I tend to ramble... and English isn't my native language, sorry in advance.

I'm gonna put some of my fandoms in the tags so if you are interested you could read the random things I would post idk...

Currently obsessed with the Simon Snow trilogy and couldn’t help but doodle a BUNCH of Simons and Bazes. This batch is based on Carry On, the first book in the series :)

No you guys don't understand I need you to know how much I'm obsessed with that scene :

simon and baz in that one classroom scene - "im not the queen snow" iykyk

Does anyone know where I can read Wayward Son online? I can’t ask my parents to buy it online because they’re homophobic and they only let me buy the first book bc they didn’t know what it was about. And since I’m from Paraguay, i don’t know when I’ll be able to get my hands on a physical copy of the book and buy it with my savings :(

This quote gave me the idea to draw Penny in a cool Stevie nicks inspired outfit. Obviously she looks fly as hell
