no one cares but i constantly think about henry coming to suprise alex after telling bea and being so happy only for zahra to barge in and make him feel like a threat to ellen's campaign and threaten to have him beheaded (even as a joke!) if he is seen leaving the hotel only for him to go home to texas with alex and alex wanting to walk around with him holding hands and that scaring him so badly that he runs away because he thinks that not only an impossibility but a liability to alex and his aspirations as well and THAT is why he says "i will not trade one prison for another." because he thinks that his own love for alex is such a liability to alex that he can't imagine a life lived out loud. henry never imagined he would like ever get to hold hands never the less MARRY alex some day and it not ruin alex's life and that's what makes that third act break up so good, it's just intricate writing from casey bc it garners so much sympathy to henry without letting alex feel powerless either. they that idk

honestly i’m still shocked that every single person we hired or interviewed suddenly quit. we have some real shit luck there i guess. oh god why does work have to be like this?? why can’t tumblr just be our job?? it’s so unfair. the fact that you’re gonna have free time is great but it also sucks because bills, gas, adulthood and stuff 😭😭 i just wanna be 13 again and forget these things even exist. adulthood is definitely nero-and-cece-phobic. i hate it so much 😭

OH MY GOD I LOVE HER!!!! that shadowhunter shelf is so beautiful!!! they all are actually. like all those editions of the classics and the amount of serotonin it gives me the fact that those book fit so perfectly, like the spines all perfectly aligned, it’s so calming

yes exactly. casey’s writing style is very recognisable and i love how i could see them all over the pages, in every little detail. i really wasn’t expecting to love all these characters so much but it’s definitely war if anyone ever hurts them

the rwrb edits are bad for me too. my camera roll is begging me to delete something because it is full of gifs and pics and edits and whatever. it’s impossible to stop. and it’s just so much easier than reading sometimes. like after you’ve had an eight hour shift and you’re tired as fuck it’s so much easier to just doomscroll on tiktok. i would love to read, i need to read, but my brain is just constantly disconnected

ohh that’s great then!!! also yes!!! london pride!!! i still want to go too!! i need them to announce a date so that i can start booking stuff :))

no way 😭😭😭 you just started getting tattoos and she is moving?? so unfair. and honestly this tattoo is going to make me so weak, the chain and the ring are just too much for me to handle 😭😭 OH MY GOD i am screaming so hard right now. we are really soulmates you know that? i’ve always wanted a tattoo of that story too, i can���t believe you could get a whole forearm with that story!!!! i will be so in love 🥹

honestly same 😂 i love that i can feel the ink create the picture on my skin but also just appear there in a second, thank you. so i was planning on getting those two i got, a rwrb quote, a vignette from heartstopper, a date and a quote from harry styles for the concert i went to. they will be done soon anyways lol also it was my birthday a few days ago and my friends got me a voucher for the tattoo studio so they will be done very soon :)))

also hi!! here are my radio silence and carnation tattoos!! the carnation was supposed to be entirely green, you know after oscar wilde and what it represents, but it kinda looked like a salad lol so we decided to still keep the green but put it like this, as if the color was being dripped on it, and i love it so much, it turned out perfectly in my opinion

if you don’t mind it, sure!! and thank you!!!! i will live this class vicariously through you lol i cannot wait!!!

yes exactly! at least i know the money’s coming for now and that’s good. and yes i’ll definitely take all the pics and send them to you!!! you might not hear from me again before i leave because i am still so busy and tired, but i’ll be coming back with a huge letter for you and tons of pictures from all the heartstopper moments <3 you’re gonna be so annoyed with me lol i’ll send you so many pictures from disneyland you’re probably gonna want to kill me 😂😂

that would be perfect 😂 so you have one you can just admire and leave it pristine, and one to actually use it as it was meant to be used lol i’m squeezing you back real tight and picking up my copy of rwrb for the millionth time. that motivation worked kind of <33333

hello nero my beloved soulmate!!!

i have pride stories!!! i went to pride this saturday and it was so much fun i need to tell you all about it!!!

well first of all i really hate that i had to work in the morning because it made me so tired and it was the first weekend of sales so yea, not fun. but anyway, my friend picked me up at 3pm and we got to florence. we had to park pretty far from the meeting point and then take a bus, and it was amazing because we were totally lost looking for that bus and at some point we see a bus full of people with rainbow flags, glitter, signs, flower crowns, rainbow stickers and temporary tattoos and all of that. and we just went in, no questions asked. we just figured we’d follow them out of the bus too 😂 i love our people honestly. we were so colorful

anyway we got to the meeting point and it was deadly hot. i swear there were like 45 degrees. but it was so amazing to be around all of those people dressed in all colors and wearing all sorts of things we’d usually be judged for, it felt so safe. except that there was a religious protestor so we got to give him the finger like the heartstopper cast did :)

also my sister came with me. she’s always so supportive and it meant the world that she came with me. anyway the parade started and there were some amazing floats. there were rainbow families, drag queens, all the lgbtqia+ associations from our territory and we started walking behind this float that had amazing music, so we started dancing and singing and it was so much fun!!! we got to talking with some people, there were some amazing signs that were just perfect and i had to go there and tell them how much i loved them :) it was just so fun, i loved meeting random people and it was just the perfect environment. at night there was also a dj set and a band singing to keep the show going!!

then when we were walking back to the bus stop at night we got the whiplash of not being surrounded by queer people anymore. we got catcalled like fifteen times in the span of three minutes. i kinda wanted to punch everyone because we had such a perfect day and i hated that we had to go back to the real world where people are shit 🥲

but still i got so many amazing memories and now all i want to do is book a flight to london for next year and have you come with me so we can celebrate together and see the heartstopper cast!!!!

also, i got a new tattoo yesterday!! and i actually had red white and royal blue with me to distract me so i almost finished the book again and cried in from of my tattoo artist lol it took me the whole day again and it was so painful but so worth it!!! i got medusa on my leg 😻

also, as to our previous letter i just wanted to say that of course i believed in you!!!! i knew you could do it!! but i can definitely believe you had to close your eyes to open that message 😂 getting grades back is always so stressful!! now manifesting a spot for the exchange 🕯️🕯️🕯️ i really hope you get it!!! it’s an amazing experience, you’d definitely love it!!!

and i’m really glad you found someone who specialises in what you need. it can take a while to find the right therapist but i hope this one works out!!

(i’m also writing down sydney and melbourne for when i’m rich enough to visit 😂 i literally booked a flight for august and my bank account kinda yelled at me to stop spending money i don’t have lol)

anyways i’m really sorry i’ve been away for so long, i had a crazy week between the beginning of seasonal sales, pride and the tattoo appointment. i kinda didn’t have time to do anything 🥲

i’m giving you a hug and some homemade chocolate chip cookies with biscoff cream on top <33

hello cece my beloved soulmate!!!!

oh my god i've been so excited to hear about this!!!

that sucks you had to go to work, boo!!! but at least you were off early enough to still go to pride!!!! and how cool that you got to share the experience of going on the bus with all the queer people!! i bet there was no straight and/or cis people on that bus 😂😂😂 just follow the rainbow!!

hot days are the worst, but pride would have made it so much better. i would not be focused on how sweaty i was or the temperature with the amount of queer joy happening around me! it's so wonderful that in a parade full of people and colour that you were able to feel so incredibly safe, and it would have been such an intimate moment for you! and fuck that religious protestor, i'm so glad you gave him the finger. the heartstopper cast would be so proud of you :')

oh that warms my heart that your sister came!!! that was so nice of her to come with you!! the floats sound amazing, and the singing and dancing!!! i am feeling some of the joy through my screen!! seriously, cece, this sounds like the most incredible time. i want to cry just thinking about you having so much fun with your friend and your sister, celebrating your queerness and talking to new people and singing and dancing like there's no one else around 🥲🥲🥲

the trip home must have been so dull in comparison! and how dare those people catcall you, i hope you gave them the same treatment as that religious protestor because seriously what the fuck.

the only thing that matters now is that you had a safe and wonderful time at pride and you can cherish those memories for the rest of your life! and yes, we must do it!! i will literally stay for an extra month just to go to pride in london with you <3

oh my god yay!!! i bet the medusa tattoo looks so cool! and yes reading rwrb while getting tattooed is properly not your best idea, but i'm already rereading rwrb any chance i get to annotate it fully before the movie so i can't say much 😂

okay, cece, i must let you know, because i said to myself i would let you know as soon as i could. but this morning, i woke up (quite late actually). i checked my watch for my notifications. i see an email waiting for me. i die a little inside realising it is from the exchange team at my university. i run out to grab my phone from where i charge it. i speed past my mum. i unlock my phone. i open my email and click on the newest one. and.... I GOT A SPOT EARLY!!! AT MY FIRST UNIVERSITY TOO!!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??? i'm still in so much shock and i thank you for your manifesting and belief in me!!! oh my god i have so much to do before then (mostly saving money ngl 😂) but oh my god cece, i'm going to england for exchange!!!!!!

me too!! i just need to find the time to get a referral, so i can go and see them!!

(literally sydney and melbourne are lowkey expensive, but it is totally worth it!! and i would be more than happy to tell you where to go and where to stay! <3)

do not apologise!!! we are all busy! i am literally working the equivalent of a full time job over the next two weeks and i'm also dogsitting over the weekend :') pray for my poor soul.

i'm giving you the biggest hug i hope contains the same warmth as pride and i'm fighting off your customers so you can have a few moments to breathe <3333

acuity, blossom, cutsie, dreams, kitty, love, snuggle, & wobbly for the ask game? -megs 💙

acuity: what’s your dream job? I haven't had a real dream job since I was like 13 probably, and I've never stuck to one dream job for more than a few years. I wanted to be a teacher, then a veterinarian, then an au pair, then librarian, then back to a teacher but specifically preschool, then in college I started thinking about working at museums, then most recently I've been like maybe my dream is to have a part time job for supplemental income and make my business my full time thing but even that's like... is that a dream job? or is that me being just on the wishful side of realistic? idk

blossom: favorite book/movie/song? book - either rwrb by casey mcquiston or there's this one that was like my masochistic comfort read all through high school that I got an advance copy of from volunteering at the library called blue plate special, I can't even remember the author but I reread it so many times I feel like I can call it a favorite? movie - the emperor's new groove song - you want me to pick? one favorite song?? am I pretty? by the maine

cutesy (you didn't misspell it, the game did): what makes you happy? when I plan just enough time to water all my plants before work. when I have a free afternoon so I can take a book to the duck pond and read in my car for an hour. going on hikes that are really just meandering walks with my camera. yelling songs at concerts with friends. having the kitchen to myself and taking a whole afternoon to cook a dinner that no one else has the patience to make. finding the perfect words to put to feelings.

dreams: do you want or have any tattoos? I kinda want a tattoo? but I'm also indecisive about what I want it to be. I fully support people who don't overthink their tattoos and can get one on an impulse but I am not like that because I know I go through phases of loving people and things. and while I can appreciate the nostalgia of looking at a picture and remembering when I loved that enough to put it on my body, I am also scared of commitment to that level. also my mom would not support me getting a tattoo so I would like to move out before I get one so I don't have to deal with immediate repercussions

kitty: what’s your favorite time of the day? my immediate thought was sunset, golden hour, but I also love right after that when the world is blue, and I love a clear night when you can count the stars, but I also love a bright cloudy midday when it looks like the sky is a lightbox bc it's great for taking pictures

love: what is your favorite season and why? fall, bc it's the return of sweater season and nature changes color. I like cold better than hot.

snuggle: what is your favourite candy? chocolate with crunchy stuff and no nuts/peanut butter so like twix, kitkat, 100 grand, coffee crisp, 5 star, etc.

wobbly: have you ever wished upon a star? yes absolutely I have, I can't remember what I wished for on most of them but one time I was on a flight at night and I pulled my cardigan over my head against the window to block out all the plane light reflections and counted 6 shooting stars, and I probably wished on all of them

I hope I can talk to you about this because I have often read you address the racism about rwrb... but there is something twisted and cruel to still read after 9 months that Taylor did a bad job and so they hope and ask that the sequel is focused on Henry and less on Alex because Henry is the only good character. I can't help but see racism in all this because... Rwrb was born as the story of a Latin American boy, he has always been the protagonist and it's important that he still is, rwrb is important for that and it hurts me how they continue to relentlessly belittle all of this and also Taylor's work and his role in this film.

i thankfully have not seen anyone say this, but i'm sure they do which sucks. i do think tzp mostly interacts with the fandom on insta where he receives a lot of positivity and i'm gonna guess people saying this are mostly on twitter.

ngl... i personally do hope the movie focuses more on henry because i think the first movie (crazy to say) overlooked his mental illness and i want him to abdicate. the bonus chapter is his pov so the mind kinda just goes there, but it is a romantic comedy and they're both gonna be central in it and henry abdicating is directly tied to alex and their future.

i trust whatever script will do the characters justice and that the actors will do a brilliant job. at the end of the day alex is such deep and meaningful representation and casey themselves has said taylor is the perfect alex, they just can't cope seeing someone not perfectly fit the fanon version of him they created in their heads.
