Y’all ever think about the difference between Simon at the beginning of the series, caught in the comphet of it all, asking himself whether he’s supposed to kiss the person he’s dating (as if it’s some sort of chore or obligation, as if there’s a quota to meet) vs Simon kissing every part of Baz that’s within reach in awtwb and sfc (hands, nose, wrist, cheeks, lips) and doing it constantly because he wants to (kissing him during conversations, Baz not being able to say two sentences without Simon answering with a kiss) because he can’t help himself, because he wants to kiss him again and again and again (even running after him and shoving him against a wall to kiss him, when Baz pretends he’s going to leave their home without a kiss, and Simon can’t have that)

@carryon-countdown Day 30: The Beginning
Happy SnowBaz day my loves! Here’s to Simon and Baz having many more beginnings together 🥺🥰
Final sketch and flat color progress shots for fun.
For keen observers, yes I did already draw them in these same wedding suits, except I found a kick ass Dolce and Gabbana jacket with roses that inspired an addition to Baz’s and gave him a floral shirt to match. Thanks to the Emergency Dance Party crew for weighing in on what 11yo Baz would have worn to Watford on his first day.

Hi @rainbowrowell
I was doing my holiday reread of the Simon Snow trilogy like a devout little Snowvian and I was wondering about Simon's past (pre Watford and events of CO). He doesn't get into it in the series and in WS admits he's repressing it, but a lot of his actions and behavior sort of hint at it. I was wondering whether as his writer you have a full (detailed?) backstory that you refer to when writing him or if his past is a mythic space for you as well?

Wayward Son Poll
Carry On Poll
“He’s wearing jeans and a navy shirt. I think that’s his favourite colour — a blue that’s almost purple. It makes his skin glow like a pearl. His top two buttons are unbuttoned” (Any Way the Wind Blows 60)
“I startle, splashing blood on my white shirt.” (Any Way the Wind Blows 130)
“Baz is wearing another long-sleeved button-down. (I don’t think the heat ever bothers him, even when the sun does.) This one’s got brown and blue stripes, but when you get close, you see that the blue stripes are flowers. His trousers are nice, too— inky blue.” (Any Way the Wind Blows 323)
"He's standing there with his hair all matted down on one side, wearing a Watford hoodie I never gave back to Agatha and his "Clean as a whistle"-d pyjama trousers" (Any Way the Wind Blows 436)
“Apparently this is another occasion that calls for a suit. Three pieces. A shade of brown that gleams red in the light. Bad buttons his white shirt all the way to the top, and puts on a shiny purple tie. (Why did he bring neckties and three-piece suits to my flat? What was he anticipating?) (Any Way the Wind Blows 436)
“Baz is wearing flowers. His button-down shirt is grey with sprays of pink and blue lilacs. He makes it look manly somehow, with his indigo trousers and grey lace-up shoes.” (Any Way the Wind Blows 549)
"I put one on straightaway--a good print, aubergine with navy leaves--and tuck the rest into a plastic bag" (Wayward Son 202)
“Baz is wearing tartan, too. Purple and gold trousers, with a dark red, polo-neck jumper … He’s wearing a dark grey jacket over his red polo neck. He must have magicked it up, because I know he didn’t bring one” ("Snow for Christmas" 225; 229)

you know who i'm thinking about right now. baz pitch. tiny little eleven year old basilton, alone and injured and terrified in a barn having just killed his family pet in a fit of instinct that his family intentionally failed to prepare him for, all for the sake of appearences. i'm thinking about how he never thought for a second he'd get comfort from his parent, the one who is supposed to be there for him. thinking about how the only person who bothered to try and talk to him still reduced him in this moment to an extension of his family line, a line that he feels he has failed just by existing as himself. thinking about this baby and how much better he deserved.
#ill kill his whole family i swear#these adults#ill stab em#mordelia petra sophie swithin youre lovely and were so glad to have you#the rest of yall tho#catch these hands#baz#baz pitch#simon snow series#snow for christmas#mine

"She asked me to give you something…"
"What?"
Simon holds on to my shoulders and stands on his toes to kiss my forehead.
Then he settles back on his heels and smiles at me. "That."

Okay, but, Snow for Christmas was a fucking TREAT!
Can we please discuss how precious it was? And how I need MORE after reading it.
I'm dropping spoilers below because I've reread this 5 times while at work today and need to let my emotions out.
Baz and Simon having regular lunches with Fiona? Please give me those dialougues. Gimme a fucking screen play of nothing but their lunches
Simon regularly practicing his sword skills AND distracting Baz? You cannot convince me this isn't a flirting tactic doe Simon. Let me read about Simon seducing Baz via a sword 😏
ALWAYS KISSING GOODBYE? MY HEART CANNOT.
Okay, but I also want more family drama from the Grimms and Pitches. Uncle Cyril? Tell me what this man has done to find himself on the wrong side of Malcom Grimm and Simon Snow. Spill that tea. (I will always map Baz's entire family tree if you let me.)
The sofa is PINK!! Need I say more?
Wing Flap Shirts!! I'm so glad our dragon baby finally has clothes he can wear without needing magic. NOW. Which one of you lovelies is drawing this?
"He reaches up and carefully starts to loosen my tie. He's become very skilled at this over the last few months." 😏😏😏
Baz internally swooning at EVERY thought of Simon being his boyfriend.
Simon being a GOOD boyfriend and immediately being up for another dinner with Baz's family. For Baz. Because he's so GOOD
Baz referring to Lady Salisbury as Simon's grandmother? ADORABLE. Lady Salisbury being cool with Simon and Baz bring "as gay we want. We can be extra gay, as a treat." YES. GIVE THESE BOYS A KIND FAMILY FIGURE WHO ACCEPTS THEM WITH NOTHING BUT LOVE. Please give me more visits with the Salisbury family. I need the wholesomeness.
WHERE CAN I READ ABOUT FIONA AND NICOS WEDDING!?!?!?
"We could be married with children --" "Could we?" PLEASE GIVE THEM A FAMILY
Can I get more fanart of Baz with his siblings. Because they are precious little things. And I need more of Petra and Sophie climbing Baz like he's their personal jungle gym. I need more pre-teen Mordelia spending wholesome time with her brother. I need to see Swithin climbing this fucking Tibetan mastiff. Thank you very much.
Can we please give Rainbow Rowell a massive thanks for giving us a more detailed description of Malcom Grimm finally??
I will foot the entire fucking production crew to have that dinner recreated for the screen. I would sell my soul to a Demon like Shepard if it means I can have a quality holiday special of that dinner. Fucking. Hell. Baz IMMEDIATELY grabbing Simon to ground him. Simon SUPPORTING HIS MAN and holding his hand. SIMON BELIEVING IN BAZ THAT HE'S GOT THIS DINNER IN THE BAG AND JUST SERVING BAZ FOOD. Malcom and Daphne crying and pouring drinks over Baz finally finally finally getting to eat dinner with him. Sophie getting gravy in her hair.
And can we also discuss the fact that this scene proves that these little girls know their big brother is a vampire? And they still adore him? They still climb all over him and practically beg for his attention? That these girls just want to spend time with their brother and aren't afraid in the slightest of him?
FANG BACKSTORY BREAKING MY FUCKING HEART. Baby Baz fucking hiding in the barn. Terrified. And Fiona just fucking supporting her nephew. I 100% cried during this scene.
Edit Add cause I somehow forgot to mention : Simon's fucking obsession with Baz's fangs. Like. Honey. No, his family does not want to watch him drain a deer. That's just you.
"I think I got drunk with Baz's dad at dinner." Had me rolling.
Backtracking. WE HAVE CAREER OPTIONS FOR SIMON. And so help me. I would refuse to talk to this man too if he tried to join the RAF or police force. Like. He really needs to address this hero-savior complex with his fucking therapist. For fucks sake. Stop trying to save people Simon. Just get your fucking fork lift license and RELAX.
Really. Die Hard? Are we shocked?
THE. FOREHEAD. KISS.
End of discussion. (But really. Discuss. Because I am feral right now. And I cannot focus on writing lesson plans in this state.)

“I can’t believe I had you in my room every night,” he says, “and I didn’t take advantage of it.”
There’s something… intimate and possessive about the way that’s worded. Much to be said about Simon wanting to re-do Watford so he can figure it all out sooner (so he can rewrite his Watford memories with Baz as his boyfriend) but this thing right here it’s so horny. There are clear horny implications there but there’s also the wording: it was his room, and Baz was in his most intimate place, and he can’t believe he wasn’t jumping him. It was a shared bedroom sir, calm down!!
(It tracks that it would come out like that, since that room is the only place Simon is comfortable being in pajamas or undressed, implying a place he saw as comfortable and home and his also included Baz – trying to smell Baz as soon as he arrives at the room after the summer break. And Simon has zero self-control once he begins to figure he wants to be with Baz. He dry humps him in a public place, Baz touching a single button is enough to get him going, not being able to touch him is treated like torture and touching him linked to sustenance etc. So of course Simon can’t believe his old self wasn’t jumping Baz constantly, especially in a place like “his” room. Except he was jumping him or trying to, he just couldn’t figure out that what he wanted was horny jumping.
And then there’s the bedroom. Of course he’s scandalized at the idea of sharing a room with Baz at his parents house... He can’t share a bed with him without getting overwhelmingly aroused. Sharing a room with Baz is inseparable from Simon’s Overwhelming Horny feelings, so the Simon who knows how he feels about Baz can’t understand the Simon who didn’t. But the Simon who didn’t did say sharing a room with Baz was painful. That Simon was already yearning.)

Hush little baby, don’t you cry…
“She was even more traditional than my father,” I say. “When she was headmistress, you could get expelled from Watford for—”
“Hey,” he says, touching my cheek. “You don’t know how she would have reacted.”
“I can imagine.”
“Well, imagine that she would have kept growing, you know? If she’d lived. Her mind would have changed about all sorts of things.”
I look in his blue eyes. “Perhaps,” I whisper.

ooooooh ok juicy sfc posts happening !! i rly honestly truly love to see it. here's my unasked for two cents, as someone who did find the story really hopeful. im posting this not to like, discourse or disagree or discount what im seeing, but to just maybe offer a different pov for ppl who might be trying to file this story away in a less devastating way.
i, of course, think baz deserves better than what he gets from his family. we all deserve to have families that love us unconditionally, and so many of us DONT have that -- including baz. that hurts !! i also think simon didn't deserve to lose his magic, and penny didn't deserve to take on the sole responsibility for keeping simon safe, and agatha didnt deserve to be shoved into every princess/damsel role ppl cast on her, etc etc.
what i like so much abt this series is that ppl dont get what they deserve, but theyre still okay. its why i also love the end of awtwb -- simons LICH ER ALL Y crying lol. he got a whole mega-bucket of extra trauma dumped on his plate that he hasnt even started to process. but its still so clear that he's got the support he needs to live a good life alongside this terrible knowledge. the mage fucked him over even more than he knew, but he doesnt have to define himself by these terms anymore -- we've seen his growth in this regard.
bazs main arc in the series is about how he sees himself -- in crudely simple terms, he rly wants to be a Good Guy (you know, not a vampire, straight, a good pitch etc etc) but sees himself as cursed with that impossibility. this continues as his idealized Good Guy self develops over the course of the books into something that actually feels more achievable to him and is less reliant on the shit his family put on him growing up.
the cool thing about snow for christmas is that -- just like when simon finds out abt the mage at the end of awtwb -- we get to see baz's new sense of self tested. we get to see what he's using to draw the lines of morality. and we get to see that while of course he still cares about what his family thinks, and it still causes him anxiety and trauma and all the shitty things that he doesnt deserve -- he has grown from that place where their value system can make him hate himself.
and moreso on the hope part -- the grimms value, above all, the ability to fit into the roles they think theyre supposed to hold. its bullshit, and they've both caused themselves problems and absolutely are fucking up their children. daphne fully had to be saved by a cult bc of it and shes still not over that mindset -- these ppl need therapy lol. so it's def sick n twisted that they're celebrating baz being able to hide better rather than celebrating who baz is, but is this not the utmost sign of love that they're capable of? baz gets to fit in better -- that's all they've ever wanted for him, whether we agree with that or not. baz seems to recognize the balance of this in the story. he narrates the rest of the dinner with a sort of dry, relieved, disbelieving tone. it’s like hes huffing a laugh, shaking his head, thinking, “did i really used to pin so much of myself on this stuff? how silly.” he is not distressed bc he understands his parents, and he has, again, divorced his sense of self from their expectations. so much so tht he says fuck it and gives simon the lil kissy at the end, because THIS is his new value system: he ALWAYS kisses simon goodbye!
so, is this a step forward for the grimms being more supportive parents? yeah, maybe not. maybe it never gets better than baz hiding his fangs at dinner and everyone doing the bare minimum to accept simon's role in baz’s life. that's not what baz and simon deserve. but it could be enough, because simon and baz have different ways that they measure their happiness by. they have each other and penny and shep and ruth and agatha and niamh and every other person they'll meet in the many, many years ahead of them whose opinions they can choose to make important to them, or reject. i love this for them! the true queer hope story imo. thats what i want for myself and for the people i love.
to be clear: this story made me sob so hard i scared my cats. (im not rly a crier, they did not know what to do). i had to put it down in the middle because i couldnt see the page. any queer person who has Family Shit is bound to get whammied lol. but! i personally find comfort in the idea that we can coexist with people who are important to us but also very difficult to be around, even if its not totally what we deserve. its a very quiet, somber hope -- but that only makes it feel more real to me.
