Carry-on - Blog Posts
Before I read the final book, here are my Very Serious bingo predictions
What if Agatha was ace?
It's been four years since the show ended and I still can't get over the ending.
We all know Baz would love seeing Simon in his jersey.
happy snowbaz day to those who celebrate
I just watched carry-on on Netflix and got the biggest jump scare of my life
i have drawn the lint.. beast.. for reference :)
Do you think Simon's toothbrush looks like this?
I choose to believe that Simon is doing something similar back for baz but like.. kinda unintentionally? baz off handedly mentions to Simon one day "I really love how our dryer seems to never produce any lint" and Simon sits there like "uh huh.."
...cut to Simon obsessively cleaning the lint tray because he finds it satisfying to peel off
Do you think Simon's toothbrush looks like this?
WHAT THE FUCK, RAINBOW! THE FUCK DO YOU FUCKING MEAN "THIS WILL END IN FLAMES???" BITCH LIKE THE FUCK IT WILL, YOURE NOT HURTING MY BOYS! DONT YOU FUCKING TOUCH THEM!
I have some... feelings about the Carry on sequel that I have to wait two years for.
Spring Reading Reviews '16
This spring's list: NK Jemison, Rainbow Rowell, Stephen King, & Agatha Christie #amreading
Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything here. I’ve been hard at work at my new novel, so apologies for my absences but really Sorry, Not Sorry. I have been reading though, and here are my thoughts on what I read this spring (March-May). Minor spoilers (nothing plot related) below for The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms by NK Jemison, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell, The Future of Life by Edward…

To Anyone Who’s Still Carrying It
You don’t get over it in a straight line. You just don’t. And anyone who tells you different hasn’t been through it or hasn’t faced it yet.
Harassment doesn’t always leave bruises you can point to. It gets under the skin in quieter ways. It makes you second-guess what you heard, how you felt, what you wore, what you said. It can turn a job into a minefield and your own instincts into something you stop trusting.
And it doesn’t end the day you leave the job, or file the report, or speak the truth out loud. Sometimes it lingers. In your body. In your sleep. In how you walk into new rooms.
But here’s what I know: healing doesn’t have to look heroic. It’s not always confrontation or closure. Sometimes it’s just getting through the day without that weight taking over. Sometimes it’s finding one person who listens. Sometimes it’s deciding to stay. Or leave. Or try again.
Whatever it looks like --- that’s valid. You’re allowed to move forward without explaining why it hurt or proving that it did.
It was real. You’re not imagining it. And you are absolutely not alone.
Knowing your own darkness is the best method for dealing with the darknesses of other people.

“Look, I don’t know how the concept of privacy operates in your head, but my sexuality is my business. I don’t know what possessed you to discuss it and apparently work through my sexuality with Bunce, but-”
“Your sexuality?” Simon asked, stupidly.
I rolled my eyes. “No, the Queen’s.”
His eyebrows seem to furrow impossibly deeper.

fun fact! i made this like a month ago when i first saw the carry on countdown prompts and couldn’t help myself from making it and posting it a month earlier, but here we are, again! i added the pisces and cancer constellation into their hair respectively bc i thought it’d look cool. in case you couldn’t tell, this is for the sun/moon prompt :)
sweet dreams are made of cheese, who am i to diss a brie. i’ve traveled the world and the seven cheeses. everybody’s looking for cheddar.
not to be dramatic, but i’m working on a lil sumthin for today’s carry on countdown prompt (dreams)

look, say what you will, but aesthetically, i just think baz is a slytherin/ravenclaw and simon is a hufflepuff/gryffindor. i can't accept their both being hufflepuffs. have you never read drarry? do you understand the literary value of having two characters from opposing houses falling in love? the tension! the intrigue! their always being 5 seconds away from starting a fight and 2 seconds away from finishing it with a "make me" followed by a punch or a kiss.
y'all are missing out. smash that subscribe button if u agree

i’ve always loved the sun/moon aspect of simon and baz’s relationship. they were complete opposites yet so similar. “because we match.” i’ve had this drawing lingering at the forefront of my mind for quite a while and i knew i had to illustrate it. the biggest problem for me is being afraid of not having the drawing live up to the expectations i’ve had of it in my mind, but i’m quite (read as ‘very’) satisfied with how this turned out. watch me make this my phone wallpaper.
baz is looking a little grey, and simon’s hair is a bit browner than i intended, but nonetheless, this is completed. done. this is it, chief.
do not repost on tumblr at all, and without credit on IG, please!

i finished the baz portrait for the simon/baz sun/moon thing, but i don’t want to post them separately, so here’s a cropped part of the baz edition to tide y’all over while i finish the simon version. i might edit this a bit before i officially post both parts, anyways :)

well, in other news, i have less self-control than i originally thought. enjoy. (the simon one kinda looked like draco until i made his nose less pointy and made his hair curly)
s i x d a y s …
did anyone ask for color variations? no. did that stop me? no. the first one is based on carry on’s color scheme, the third one is based on the paperback cover. and the second one? that’s pure self-indulgence because i’m convinced baz would look killer in dark, red tones, plus it has a gothic vampy vibe because i’m convinced baz is a repressed goth kid.
lmk if you use these as your wallpaper, i’d be honored. please don’t repost without permission/without credit, especially on tumblr since u have the reblog button r i g h t t h e r e. instagram, i understand, just lmk and credit me properly @panicatthealiceee (on here and instagram)

this took way too fucking long, but i’m determined to get better at digital art since i’m disproportionately better at traditional art, namely watercolor. regardless, please enjoy this portrait of my favorite disaster gay vampire wizard boy. i don’t know exactly how long this took, but a rough estimate would be t o o f u c k i n g l o n g. i shall now go back to eagerly awaiting to hold wayward son in my cold, clammy hands, thank you, friends. :)
workin’ on a little smth for my fav vampy boi,,,
Carry On Alternative Ending:
It's the Summer before Eighth year again. Baz isn't kidnapped by numptites. The visitings never happen. The political climate is deteriorating as is Simon's and Baz's relationship. Simon and Agatha are still together.
Needless to say, nothing in Carry On happens.
The year goes on as the ones before it, and before they know it, Simon and Baz are having their big fight. Simon has Baz on the ground, and he's holding his swordtip over Baz's heart. Simon can't read his face, though there's a tear slipping down Baz's face. A few feet away, on either sides of Simon and Baz are Penny, Agatha, Dev, and Niall.
"Do it," Baz says.
Simon grimaces, his brow furrowed. He looks troubled. Baz can't understand why. "I never wanted it to come to this."
Simon brings his sword down through Baz's chest.
"I love you," Baz says at the same time that Simon says "I'm sorry."
Simon drops his sword, and collapses onto the ground, just as the sun falls beneath the horizon. Before he knows what's happening, the ground is spinning out from below him and he feels as if he's being taken somewhere.
He opens his eyes and comes face to face with a 15 year old Baz.
They've been granted a second chance.
