carry on

When people say Simon Snow is bisexual and Rainbow Rowell didn’t acknowledge it in Carry On, I want to lean really close to them and whisper “bisexuality isn’t the only sensuality other than gay and straight”

Say it louder for the people in the back.

The roommate is gay and in love with him.

Now, what I like about what Rainbow’s done with Carry On is that she gave you a gay character who pretty much self loathing towards himself BUT NOT BECAUSE HE’S GAY, he’s confident with himself and he’s proud of his sexuality, and I’m so just so happy Rainbow created Baz.

sharing a room with the person you want most is like sharing a room with an open fire.  he’s constantly drawing you in. and you’re constantly stepping too close. and you know it’s not good—that there is no good—that there’s absolutely nothing that can ever come of it.  but you do it anyway.  and then …  well. then you burn.

baz is, well, dead, so he’s physically cool to the touch. he’s also a very cold person in nature, in that he isolates himself and has a sharp tongue. but also, he contains this passion in him, a love for simon that burns deeply. that, and he can summon fire.

simon is a literal human firecracker. baz says he warms up rooms with his magic. he’s the sun. when he goes off, he singes the ground around him. he’s hotheaded. he’s also cold in the sense that he was isolated by the mage for so long, hidden from the magickal world, neglected and abused, given the cold shoulder. he didn’t choose to isolate himself like baz did, though. that, and his name is literally simon snow.
