“Public libraries are such important, lovely places!” Yes but do you GO there. Do you STUDY there. Do you meet friends and get coffee there. Do you borrow the FREE, ZERO SUBSCRIPTION, ZERO TRACKING books, audiobooks, ebooks, and films. Have you checked out their events and schemes. Do you sign up for the low cost courses in ASL or knitting or programming or writing your CV that they probably run. Do you know they probably have myriad of schemes to help low income families. Do you hire their low cost rooms if you need them. Have you joined their social groups. Do you use the FREE COMPUTERS. Do you even know what your library is trying to offer you. Listen, the library shouldn’t just exist for you as a nice idea. That’s why more libraries shut every year

They Get Married. [E, 5/12 ] by @colddeadqueer / colddeadqueer

Lesbian Agatha Wellbelove seems like such a cop out to me years later. And I say that as someone who wants more sapphic representation in books and who liked lesbian Agatha when the books came out.

Like in book one, she doesn’t not want a boyfriend, she wants a boyfriend who’s into her. And in book two she says she wishes she realized she wanted to kiss girls because that could explain why she’s so confused about everything and why she doesn’t fit in… (and because she perceives that that’s what happened for Simon with Baz) and then all that is just thrown out in Any Way the Wind Blows… just because?

I honestly think it was because larger fandom consensus was that Agatha was a lesbian.

But I don’t know. I just wish that in a book series that is so firmly saying “figuring out your sexuality does not fix your trauma or inner turmoil. your mental state cannot be fixed by a relationship, that’s your own work to do.” about Simon and Baz, that Rowell didn’t decide to undercut that by saying “except for Agatha it does. She’s felt out of place because she is a lesbian. And now she knows! So things will be better”

I hope every trans person is proud of themselves today. Even if you are not in a place where you can be visible to others, you are visible to yourself.

And being able to see yourself for who you are is no small accomplishment.

he’s just like me fr (responsible homosexual older sister who’s afraid of breaking the rules. Somehow still the problem child even though they try so hard not to be. High functioning depression & anxiety. Feels like everything is constantly their fault.)

IS BAZ A SMOKER?

I just got a private ask about this, and thought I may as well answer it here.

No, Baz is not a smoker. (In canon.) I thought I was making it clear in Carry On that he only smokes a cigarette at the vampire club to intimidate Nico. (Because vampires are so flammable, none of them smoke. It makes Baz seem fearless.) Elsewhere in Carry On, Baz says his dad drew a hard line against smoking. (The flammable thing again.) The most compelling evidence that Baz isn’t a regular smoker is that Simon is surprised by Baz’s cigarette at the vampire club. “I didn’t know he smoked.” Simon has been following Baz around for eight years, inhaling him as much as possible. If Baz was smoking regularly, Simon would have noticed. (Also, if Baz were a regular smoker, I feel like we would have seen him light up in that book on many stressful occasions.)

So glad I get to experience homosexual desire. One life and thank god I'm not straight

love when fictional men are so devoted to their partner it makes them dangerous and insane. very slutty behavior keep it up king

I was talking to my friend who isn’t familiar with CO about Baz and I said “on all levels except physical I am him,” and then showed her the cover art of WS. She, without hesitation, said “all levels including physical, you look like him” and it made me so stupidly happy my life feels complete.

What is it?? A plane?? A bird?? No, it's my homemade Simon Snow trilogy poster
