Simon and Baz are the epitome of “I’d die for you” (Baz) and “I’d kill for you” (Simon)

Baz was already thinking of ways to “spell this imbecile away from him” to save him from the fire he’d created, and Simon was willing to throw himself in front of the Las Vegas vampires and fight them off to save Baz.

Six sentence sunday! Or sketch sunday idk

Thanks so much for the tags @thewholelemon and @orange-peony !!

Okokok so! I’m actually working on something I intend to finish! Which is very exciting for me, it’s been a bit too long.. but the thing is that sharing a WIP now would be less of a tease and more “its finished enough to be nice to look at” which is obviously boring, then theres nothing to be excited about when seeing the finished product. So instead i’ll give you my reference and some key words (basically like tags on ao3 to pitch this drawing lmao)

Heres the reference:

(Yes, it’s the babygirl pose meme. I felt like drawing some crack) (simon is serving submissive and breedable/j)

And heres the words:

Tube socks (tube socks should be considered lingerie, they felt way too pornographic to draw to be considered casual clothing💀)

TINY SHORTS!! Like proper tiny.. short shorts 80’s style 😈 (they’re red🫦)

A crop-top

Chunky shoes (bc i love them, and they would look great on Simon)

Thighs (this whole thing is so thirsty😭)

Forearms so distractive they should be considered illegal

That was all the teasing y’all are getting ;)

the relationship between vampirism & queerness

Vampires are inherently queer characters. Their queerness is represented in countless texts including Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula (1897), Sheridan Le Fanu’s novella, Carmilla (1872), the film Interview with the Vampire (1994), and Rainbow Rowell’s novel Carry On (2015). Vampires’ queerness is enforced by a multitude of factors; notably the sexual nature of a vampire itself, the relationship vampires have with ‘normal’ society, and the inherent evilness behind vampires. 

The queerness of vampires is enforced by the sexuality behind the concept of a vampire itself. Unlike other monsters, vampires are not apparently beastly or undead. Their evil nature is hidden beneath a suave, charismatic personality. The ‘charming vampire’ character was first popularised by John William Polidori in his 1819 short story, The Vampyre. This story was a source of inspiration for Carmilla and Dracula, who further cemented ‘charisma’ into the fundamentals of the vampire archetype. A part of vampires’ hunting method is seduction, which often leads to a blurry line between ‘prey’ and ‘romantic interest’. One of the most iconic traits of a vampire is the bite to the neck. Popularised by Bram Stoker, vampires typically drain their victims of blood from the neck. While it’s a convenient spot because of the carotid artery, a plentiful source of blood, it’s often argued that the sexual nature of biting one’s neck played a large part in the popularisation of it.

The sexulisation of vampires opens up an opportunity for authors to explore queerness in a non-explicit setting. The relationship between a vampire and their victim can mirror that of a romantic/sexual couple. Often vampire characters are more fluid with their sexuality and they influence their human prey with their vampiric, sexual, queer nature. In Interview with the Vampire, Louis de Pointe du Lac’s story starts with his partner, Lestat de Lioncourt turning him into a vampire. The scene in which Lestat bites him includes him pinning Louis to the ground and biting his neck before whispering in his ear. “You can be young always, my friend, as we are now.” Lestat’s use of ‘we’ as opposed to ‘you can stay young’ shows his interest in staying with Louis. Louis’ character development stems from a queer male vampire changing his life. Count Dracula’s prisoner was Jonathon Harker, with whom he was extremely infatuated. Upon finding other female vampires attempting to bite Jonathon’s neck, Dracula was outraged. "How dare you touch him, any of you? How dare you cast eyes on him when I had forbidden it? Back, I tell you all! This man belongs to me!” Dracula was possessive of Jonathon, which alludes to an attraction beyond chaste fascination. In Carmilla, the titular character came into human Laura’s life and engaged her in a romantic relationship. Carmilla says “‘I have been in love with no one, and never shall,’ she whispered, ‘unless it should be with you.’” to Laura, who consistently described Carmilla as attractive, “She was so beautiful and so indescribably engaging.” While it’s up to the reader if Carmilla’s feelings were simply an act used to lure Laura in or true love, their relationship was intimate and unmistakingly queer. In Carry On, Tyrannus Basilton ‘Baz’ Grimm Pitch never bites Simon Snow, but they are involved. Baz says “You were the centre of my universe. Everything else spun around you.” While Baz did not attempt to make Simon a vampire, he was knowingly queer before Simon; Simon was unaware of his own queerness before Baz. This is another example of a queer vampire influencing their human partners. The queer themes in these texts are fueled by the sensual nature of the vampire characters. 

One way vampires are shown as an allegory for being queer, is the relationship vampires have with regular society. A vampire fitting in with human communities is difficult, due to the inability to be in sunlight or eat normal food. Queer folk historically struggle to fit into heteronormative spaces seeing as, like vampirism, it’s been widely viewed as a negative trait. That sense of displacement or otherness felt by queer people is mirrored by vampires. Count Dracula’s odd behaviour was quickly picked up on by Jonathon. Upon finding Jonathon using a shaving mirror, Dracula was enraged. “This is the wretched thing that has done the mischief. It is a foul bauble of man's vanity. Away with it!" And opening the window with one wrench of his terrible hand, he flung out the glass.” Similarly, Simon always suspected Baz was a vampire, and spent his highschool career trying to prove it. “Are you saying you don’t think Baz is a vampire?” “I know he’s a vampire. But it’s still unconfirmed.” Baz being odd because he was a vampire is not unlike his being different because he was queer. Baz was always self aware he was unlike everyone else. Baz and Simon in a crowded room: “They’ll know that we’re gay.” “There go my job prospects. What will my family say? Baz, you’re actually, literally the only thing I have to lose. So as long as doing gay stuff in public doesn’t make you hate me, I don’t really care.” Regular, heteronormative, human society makes both the vampire community and queer people feel like outsiders; creating a sense of guilt for being different. Baz and Louis have both chosen to drink rat blood to avoid drinking humans. Their inner turmoil over being a blood-sucking demon reflects the common queer mindset of feeling guilty over being different. The sense of ‘otherness’ unites queer folk and vampires. 

From their conception in common folklore, vampires have been written as evil, soulless beings. Vampires are undead demons that drink blood and transform innocent humans into more blood-drinking demons. The queerness behind vampire characters is linked to their being inherently evil. Vampires turning humans into vampires is a metaphor for gay people ‘corrupting’ others with their homosexuality. After the death of his wife and child, Louis was attacked by Lestat and turned into a vampire. Lestat gave him a whole new life and they adopted a daughter, Claudia. Louis went from a ‘straight’ human man who played his part in regular society, to a queer vampire. Vampires have a massive influence over their victims and partners. Their influence, in terms of both vampirism and homosexuality, leaves lasting effects on their prey. In the aftermath of Carmilla and Dracula, Laura and Jonathon are said to have struggled with recovery. From Carmilla, “The following Spring my father took me a tour through Italy. We remained away for more than a year. It was long before the terror of recent events subsided.” Vampires’ impact on their human partners is not necessarily for the better. For Laura, it was detrimental to herself, whereas in other stories, such as Carry On, Simon Snow was better off with his vampire boyfriend. Baz helped him find a version of himself he was unfamiliar with and they started their new life together. “He's not a villain. He's just a boy. I'm kissing a boy. I'm kissing Baz.” 

Vampirism is an allegory for being queer. The queerness with which vampire characters are written is shown through the sexulisation of vampires, the sense of ‘otherness’ felt by both parties, and the inherent evil nature behind vampires. The evidence and recurring themes across Dracula, Carmilla, Interview with the Vampire and Carry On show the ways in which queerness shows itself in vampire texts. Writers using vampires as an outlet for queer allegories implies an urge on the author’s part to explore a more fluid perspective on sexuality. I think a lot of the appeal of vampire texts and characters lies in the desire to fantasise about a different way of being — it’s a safe, abstract way of exploring one’s own sexuality through stories. Vampires represent homosexuality in a subtle, indirect way that connects with the queer community and create a way to show queer stories without being blatantly queer.

T and U! :)

T - Do you have any hard and fast headcanons that you will die defending? 

already answered here!

U - Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.

ohhhhh okay this is hard!!!

Baz Pitch - The Simon Snow series

idk I just love Baz so much!! Tbf snowbaz is what made me get back into wolfstar last year so that might play a role in it, but I just love everything about Baz and want him to be happy!!

Carmilla - the Carmilla webseries

I recently got reminded of the carmilla webseries and that made me so nostalgic for that fandom, I loved being part of the carmilla fandom and Carmilla (from the webseries) will always be my favorite fictional vampire!! <33 I think part of it is also that hollstein was my first queer femslash ship (probably at the same time as Clexa though lmao rip) and I was LIVING for all the angst and drama of the carmilla webseries as it was airing, and Carmilla was just always such an iconic character in that series.

Matteo - Druck

Listen, I've rewatched Druck season 3 more times than I can count and Matteo is such a loser and an idiot and I love him so so much!

alphabet ask game!

#i'm sorry these explanations are shit and not rly explanations more just me screaming i love them but i found it hard to put into words! #thank u for asking me these!! <3 #everythingbutcoldfire #ask game

Rereading AWTWB and having to stop after that early chapter where Baz is at his family’s house and Simons not responding to his texts. His family life feels like it’s imploding and Simon just ignores him… Like I needed a second to just breath and hold back the tears…

Only to have to stop again a few chapters later when Baz leaves Simons place after the iconic line about Simon giving up on him and their relationship. Like I literally balled my eyes out. And I knew what was coming!

I think the first time I read this book I was so excited about everything that I was reading so, so fast and didn’t let myself sit with each event as it happened and really feel everything. I had an even better experience with it the second time around… the reread-ability is astounding. 🥹🥰

Just thought I’d rant about one of my favorite books for a sec.

I’d love to talk to people about the series or other RR books if anyone wants to! ☺️

Thanks to @martsonmars, @cutestkilla, @bazzybelle, @ivelovedhimthroughworse, @confused-bi-queer, @you-remind-me-of-the-babe & @captain-aralias for the tags ❤️❤️

I recently posted 6,000 words for you 😉😘 so instead of sentences today I give you… rejected fic covers!

The cover that mimics the Jo’s Coffee “i love you so much” mural:

The cover that mimics Daniel Johnston’s iconic album cover:

More under the break!

And the cover I ultimately chose, which copies the infamously hilarious El Arroyo street sign:

@tea-brigade suggested this mural but how could I change it? It’s already perfectly SnowBaz; I HC Simon as the original artist and Baz as the defacer.

Thanks @wellbelesbian for the sort-of-extra tag.

The Top Blorbos are the characters I've written the most with a central role, with Blaine appearing in 8 fics, Kurt in 7, Simon, Baz and Tina in 4 (so they share a spot, actually) (and also, I counted the podfics I made as well). The Top Fics are the ones with the most hits. The Written Words is the word count from January - November. Top Fandom is fandom I've written the most for.

Poor Tina, her name is too long. Same goes for make a fire out of this flame.

Fun fact, I spent most time tracking down a picture of my icon, since it's been my icon since 2015, so I didn't have the file on my computer. I found it here. This is from May 2015.

You make your own with the template!

#tag game #fun fact: quinn bitty and jack appear in 2 fics as a central focus #keris trixie chidi wes mike shitty percy jackson and tempest the cloud horse appear in 1 #oh and also denise
