My last art contribution to @basic-banshee and @god-is-bready’s glorious fic, “Local Hero.” I’d been reading this fic aloud to our housemate in the early days of quarantine and when I got to this part, I could barely get words out through my happy tears. Thanks again for delivering this hopeful fic about community right when we most need it. I hope you like it. <3

He’s beaming, smiling even as he sings, his hands over his head as he claps along with the beat that the rest of the stadium has going. If this moment was the last second I ever got to live, I’d be okay with it. If my entire life and whole world narrowed to this, standing on the perfect green pitch, watching Simon Snow sing at me with an entire stadium of supporters as backup, I’d die happy.

If you’re not reading “Local Hero” by the incredibly talented duo @basic-banshee and @god-is-bready, you are missing out on some of the best quarantine entertainment in the Carry On/Wayward Son fandom. This picture is straight out of Baz Pitch’s Instagram (or rather, straight out of Chapter 14) and is a pretty good representation of how I think canon!Baz would look if he’d never been bitten. :)

It’s a picture of us at the pub, sitting in front of the microphones. Shep must have taken it sometime during the recording, but I don’t remember seeing him do it. Baz has his chin propped on his hand, his hair in his eyes a bit as he glares me with that look he gets sometimes—half annoyed, half smiling because he thinks I’m stupid. I’m grinning, my mouth open and clearly mid-shout, my beer waving in the air. I look like an absolute fucking idiot. — Simon

And some closeups for those who like them...

I was off Tumblr yesterday participating in the protest, which means I didn’t get to post my “Fandom Crossover” installment of the Carry On Countdown on time (it did get posted in a timely manner to Twitter, though, so I guess I was sort of on time). But even if it’s late, for my fellow Snowflakes who dig Voltron/Klance, I come bearing fanart!

I officially dedicate this picture to @carryonsnow-baz, who wanted to know if I’d ever do Klance fanart. I had said probably not, but of course, no one eats my own words better than I do. lol 

Sorry this is so enormous and likely clogging up your feed this morning. Before I forget, ”No one’s seducing a vampire” is still in production. It’s definitely a difficult adaptation (hello 12 panels of victorian bedroom), so it’ll be a while yet before I’m finished with that one. But anyhoo…

About the art: Chapter 62 was the second most requested portion of Carry On for adaptation into a graphic novel format. However, rather than pull swaths of text from the chapter, I decided to zero in on one little snippet:

(His cross is on the other side of the room now.; Snow took care of it himself this time.) 

- Baz, Chapter 62, Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

Given how Simon had used the cross earlier in the novel to drive separation between him and Baz, I like to think that taking it off himself was, in part, a romantic gesture - a symbolic dismantling of that last wall between them. 

That said, artistically, I tried to evoke the sensation of falling in love. For this reason, I largely left words out of it and tried to render the format in a way that makes it feel like you’re… descending. The colors deepen. The panels get smaller. And the last page shows Simon and Baz falling into each other’s arms out of frame, with flames dominating the end shot. (*wink* See what I did there?)

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I loved drawing it. <3
