The Official Carry On HQ

Always seems a little unfair when Simon's birthday lands on Father's Day.

This is the first year that people have responded to this sentiment with "get Simon pregnant."

reminder to the masses that simon and baz are literally Married. they are married, they have a house and a mortgage. they r so so so happy and so in love

baz pitch really is such a funny character if you think about it. if you take away all of his and simon's musings about how he's an Evil Plotting Vampire and look at it from an outsider's perspective, he's really just some guy. like all he does is walk around campus, he has 1 friend (the other is his cousin so he doesn't count), and he LIKES to do homework ahead of material studied in class. he's literally just some random 18 year old nerd

Learning about how Niamh sees Baz from her point of view was the most hilarious thing that happened in the trilogy because she simply could not be more unbothered by Baz’s existence. Everyone else thinks he’s so cool and so smart and such a good mage. But Niamh is like. Basilton Pitch? Who is that? Who is he? It’s HILARIOUS. Simon is so fully obsessed with every little thing Baz does but nobody else cares about him the way he does.

yes! i love niamh as a character because she perfectly encapsulates what all other regular people would think of the main characters in a fantasy book, like "ugh you guys kept fighting monsters in the hallways while i tried to get to class it was soo annoying." and of course she doesn't know baz, he was some nerd who didn't speak to anyone lmaoooo

it saddens me to think i immediately clocked simon as unreliable narrator when i first read carry on as sixteen, so many plot twists were lost on me because i took one look at simon and baselessly decided to never trust anything coming out of that man’s mouth. i didn’t believe him to the point that i straight up did not think baz was actually a vampire until baz himself said it

I have three more of these coming. None of the quotes spoil any plot details, but they are lines from the book!
