I don't think smut scenes are supposed to make you cry but clearly Rainbow Rowell didn't get the memo because "If I want him warm, I have to do it myself" and "I can see him, even when I cant, even with my eyes closed- I know him too well" and "Is this was people do? Get as close as they can and then push closer? Burn each other into every gap? And then what? Then just tomorrow and more?" and "Just kiss me for the sake of kissing me" and "I want my sheets to smell like you" and "Be gentle with me...even though you don't have to" and "Don't say please. Why not? Because you don't have to. I'll give you whatever you want" and "I couldn't break him if I tried. I won't try" and "Is this what he wants? Is this what I'm allowed to take?" and "I was never magic" and "Is this magic? Is this enough?" And now I'm sobbing.

Words cannot describe how much I love the carry on series. As a literal book addict these books have my heart and I will always carry a little piece of Simon and Baz in me. IT'S JUST SO GOOD. The characterisation is sublime. Thank you Rainbow Rowell for blessing my life with this.
Simon: Baz made me feel things.
Penny: What things?
Simon: Feelings.
Penny: Baz made you feel feelings?
Simon: Yep.
Penny: What a bitch.
“For Crowley’s sake, Baz, you are flammable.”

Said it before but it bears repeating: by the time Simon explicitly says “Baz could have anyone he wants” it’s not nearly the first time he’s expressing he feels this way, even if he doesn’t realize it.
In CO, when he’s still trying to convince himself (because he is actively trying to convince himself) that he wants the comphet endgame, and he’s jealous because Baz is apparently going after Agatha, it’s never once “of course Agatha attracts attention, look at her, who wouldn’t want her?” Never! It should be, if he ever wanted her like that, and yet. The one time he’s trying to tell himself he wants her, he gives an example that’s not about actually wanting her romantically or being into her, but about projecting things into her beauty (strength and protection!) and about imagining himself in her shoes (imagining how it is to be that beautiful, etc). Instead, attraction and romantic desire is always about Baz. “Of course she would want Baz, who wouldn’t? Look at him. Just Baz being himself is enough to make him attractive and romantically desirable” …. It’s one of the many early signs that Simon is already into Baz long before CO starts, that his romantic jealousy is only about him (and always has been) and he wasn’t into Agatha at any point (comphet)

“This is what I deserve,” he says.
I shake my head. “Well, it isn’t what I deserve.”

It’s finally here! The cover for Wayward Son, out September 24th 2019
Here's a flip-through of my Inktober sketchbook 🖤 Thank you all so much for your enthusiasm throughout this month! I'm blown away!
Massive thank you to my husband, Simon, who supported me doing this every night (and who filmed this over my shoulder). And to @vkelleyart @carryonsimoncarryonbaz and @penpanoply for the encouragement—your support means the world to me. And to all of the amazing friends I have here on Tumblr and Discord, who absolutely spoil me with their outpouring of love. There's too many of you to name, which is absolutely mindboggling, but if you're thinking "I wonder if he means me, too?", the answer is YES. 👏
And, of course, the deepest of thank yous to @rainbowrowell for writing these incredible books and being so involved with the fandom, 🖤
I've been struggling a lot lately with my depression—the past few months have been a very difficult time for me. I haven't been capable of handling much at all, but I poured all of my energy and positive feelings into this Inktober journey, and I'm so happy I was able to see it through. And to such a warm reception! 🖤 Truly, thank you.
Congratulations to all my fellow Carry On family members who made it through! @vkelleyart @penpanoply @mara-miranda @pitchpatronus @bazzledazzlepitches You're all so inspiring.
