#Simon snow trilogy

[achillean-heartbeat]

Listening to the AWTWB Baz playlist Rainbow Rowell has posted on spotify is... devastating.

i am in love with all of Rainbow's playlists and her annotations on her site. i absolutely love how much thought she puts into them in relation to her characters, and how much you can find Simon and Baz in their respective playlists.

But the AWTWB: Baz playlist, specifically, holds a special place in my heart...

The absolute fucking SOFTNESS from the first song till the very last... while listening i can SEE Baz cradling his own vulnerable bleeding heart in his hands and holding it out to Simon no matter the consequences...

I will never shut up about Rainbow's playlists for her characters. They're so good they make me weep everytime i listen.

Edit: Fuck it.

Here's all the specific lyrics in the AWTWB: BAZ playlist by Rainbow Rowell on spotify that made me physically clutch my heart from pain (and love. For Baz.):

"We thought love was something, we weren't meant to find, but now you're a stranger"

"but you don't remember, August honey, you were mine."

"I can't forget those earlier days, when i was in your heart, Now you take my hand, and it's as cold, as when you speak."

"Cannot count the ways you used to love me, But I can count the ways you used to try"

"The cries are just the start, To a fallen angel, While one hand takes the cross, Another lights the candle"

"would you feel, together and inebriated, enabling of a fable, we were never meant to be but together."

"I want say what lovers say to you, I want to feel what lovers feel with you, I want to do it with you. Would you be my lover?"

"Remember the time you told me love was touching souls, Surely you touched mine 'cause part of you pours out of me."

"You're in my blood, you're my holy wine. You taste so bitter and so sweet. Oh I could drink a case of you darling"

"You felt shelter somewhere in me, I find great comfort in you, And I keep you safe from harm, You hold me in your arms"

"I've got your back, And though, it's stacked against us, I've got your hand, It's us against consensus, And I will burn, The people who hurt you"

"You know it's time that we, Grow old and do some shit, I like it all that way"

"Won't you please let me go?, These words lie inside they hurt me so, I've Lost you, I've Lost you, I've Lost you."

"Please don't let me hit the ground, Tonight I think I'll walk alone, I'll find my soul as I go home."

"Looking out at endless snow, Waiting in the silence, If you won't spill your heart, I'll chase you for the worst you owe."

"You are the answer to my question, You are my accomplice in a crime."

"In the twilight they danced and played, The fireflies they go light like cray, In the dreaming we struck each other, and prayed, for pain."

"Two melting candles against the sun, Modern angels they broke our wings in the wind, For what?"

"But when I'm asleep, I want somebody, Who will put their arms around me, And kiss me tenderly"

"Who knows how long I've loved you, You know I love you still, Will I wait a lonely lifetime, If you want me to, I will."

The more i listen to this playlist, the more i cry, the more i ache over baz and the unconditional love this boy, this man, holds in his heart.

Thank you @rainbowrowell.

You were the sun and I was crashing into you

@mecub read this and suffer The Emotions™ and send this to the one who just finished awtwb so they can also suffer The Emotions™ /nf

Even if the context of the scene was wholesome, it broke my heart to read simon say

Even with the sweetness of the scene, i can't help being heartbroken at the fact that simon here is slowly realising he's grieving what could have been. At the memories and moments that didn't happen, because he was too busy being shoved into the role of Chosen One... THE FRIENDSHIP with baz he missed out on... just because he thought he had to make him an ennemy...

I mean...

This KILLS me.

Because simon is coming to a realisation baz did ages ago. A realization baz forced himself to give up on hoping for.

I think here baz is simply telling simon what he's always told himself when he dared to hope more from simon all those years at watford: "it was probably meant to happen like it did." To either doe at simons hands. To have it all end up in flames. Ect.

GOD.

Im gonna be SICK i love them so fucking much...

deeply missing my favourite rat blood drinking vampire

That scene where Simon kisses Baz because he’s so happy he put butter on his sandwich – you gotta remember Simon is obsessed with Baz. It’s not something Simon ever lets you forget, but consider this: Simon is not used to be taken care of (he notes as much with “it makes me so happy [that Baz takes care me the way he does] that it make me wish I always had this”) but also, Simon following Baz around all along has been a result of his attraction and his romantic interest.

It’s a way for Simon to try and be part of Baz’s life: “what is he doing? What are the things he likes to do? What kind of expression does he make at X and Y situation?… Does he think of me as much as I think of him?”…. That last question is key here, because Baz putting butter on Simon’s sandwich is the answer. It tells Simon Baz has been paying as much attention to him, because he has noticed, without anybody telling him anything, that Simon likes butter on his sandwich. It’s Baz taking care of Simon in a way no one has before, and it’s also Baz showing Simon that he noticed him. He has been noticing him and paying attention, too. (Just like Baz doesn’t know Simon sees him as the love of all his lives, Simon doesn’t know Baz loves him just as much. He’s aware in hindsight that his feelings for Baz when he followed him everywhere was obviously attraction and romantic love, but he doesn’t know, he doesn’t internalize that Baz already felt the same back then – he’s just beginning to understand with “when he hated me but didn’t really hate me, didn’t only hate me” but at the same time he doesn’t know, but gestures such as this communicate a lot to him)
