Oh yessss, Carry On! Baby 

Some snowbaz sketches I wanted to share even though I haven’t been able to finish them

#i must thank peony for making me interested in them #i love them soo so much #i can't get enough snowbaz #phewww #anyway #my favourite parts of the first book :3 #snowbaz fanart #snowbaz #carry on #simon snow #tyrannus basilton grimm pitch #baz pitch #uff baz's name is too long #pato's art

[aritrash]

the utter genius of simon’s surname being snow and baz’s surname being pitch!!! i will never stop speaking about this!!! snow, as in snow white, white as snow, as in connotations of purity and inherent goodness. the designated role of hero. pitch, as in pitch-black, as in connotations of evil and darkness, a black hole, a vortex. the designated role of villain. 

but they’re not what is forced onto them. simon is a flawed hero. he’s angry, and sometimes selfish. he’s not perfect by any means: not a perfect friend, not a perfect boyfriend, not a perfect saviour. he’s obsessed with his so-called nemesis. he’s in love with a boy, completely opposing everything we’ve ever known about heroes and their happily ever afters with their princesses by their side. baz is not a villain. he is good. he loves so deeply and viscerally he fears it will kill him sometimes. he’s loyal and brave and true. he defies the very basic principles of being a vampire so far that he compromises on his health, just to hold on to his humanity. 

nothing is black and white, good and evil, right and wrong. 

ugh i love love love it when literature!!! @rainbowrowell nobody’s doing it like you

Felt like sketching Simon today. 🫶🏻 I’m pretty sure I would give anything for @rainbowrowell to write another Simon story (although I’m really excited for Slow Dance!)

You know what, I'm making The Post.

Disability parallels in Carry On and why they matter

We know Simon's wings and tail are a metaphor for his queerness, but what about the disability parallels? The disability parallels in Simon's wings and tail, in Baz's vampirism, in Simon losing his magic.

Simon's wings and tail make life difficult for him. When he wears clothing at all, he has to either accommodate his wings and tail or deal with crushing them under clothing. Crushing them and that extra pressure can hurt like hell and really distract you, but having to constantly worry about accommodating yourself is also a huge pain. It takes a long time--learning to accommodate yourself and your disabilities in a world that just doesn't want to let you.

I'm pro-Simon keeping his wings and tail for this reason.

Baz's vampirism, while a metaphor for queerness, is also a metaphor for chronic illnesses. I don't have a chronic illness myself, so I can't really speak to this one, but it's still important to talk about the parallel. He has dietary accommodations he needs to survive, and not many people around him willing to accommodate that because of fear and prejudice.

As for Baz's leg... Oh, I'm so sick of the abled healing the disabled narrative. Let Baz be disabled. Let him have a fucked-up leg and use a posh cane. Let Simon and Baz be disabled boyfriends together.

Simon's magic is a whole other can of worms to open, but @messofthejess opened it this morning and I'm crawling through the unpleasant sliminess with them.

Simon losing his magic is an important disability parallel. He's had magic his entire life--had magic as a part of his body his entire life, even if he hated it the whole time--and now that part of himself, of his identity, is gone. Who is he without his magic? Who is he when the world he lives in revolves around and caters to people with magic? Who is he when people won't slow down to match the pace he's going at when he can no longer keep up?

Simon has to learn to live without his magic. Because as @ebbpettier said, tape exists. And sometimes wanting to go back to the way things were means you never move forward or grow. Because things will never go back to the way they were, too much has happened. You can never go back. Sometimes growing means letting go.

There are people who will accommodate Simon. He'll find his people. We all will. It'll be rough, it'll be hard, it'll take literal blood and sweat and an ocean of tears, but he'll get there.

These disability parallels are important and I think they should be talked about more.

#i'm disabled and have THOUGHTS #fuck it i am throwing them out there #the disability parallels are too important #the queer parallels are talked about a lot but the disability parallels are just... left behind #fandom is for disabled people too #carry on #baz pitch #simon snow #snowbaz #meta
