my other piece for the @carry-on-big-bang :D

Extraordinary, Ordinary Life by @seducing-a-vampire and @snowybank

At the age of 21, Baz learns from Natasha that the oldest Pitch children have the secret ability to travel back in time, to moments they have lived before. Natasha discourages her son from using his gift to acquire money or fame, and Baz decides he will use it to improve his love life. He meets Simon Snow, falls in love, and wins his heart. However, Baz realizes that the problems of ordinary life persist despite his control of time. An About Time AU.

Summary:

There’s trouble at Watford. Headmistress Mitali is at a loss for what to do in the face of an intruding vampire and his accomplice. The gang agrees that Penny, Agatha, and Shepard ought to stay out of it—the last thing they should do right now is bring a Normal to Watford. They would be better off searching out help with Shep’s curse. And Agatha happens to know just the Lady... When Simon and Baz arrive on campus to save the day, they aren’t given the warm welcome they hoped for. They’re locked up, together, and forced to deal with all the many things haunting them... and make some new discoveries, as well.

Summary: When Simon opens a CD in Miss Possibelf’s garage, the last thing he expects to find is three ghosts. But there they are, Baz, Dev, and Niall of the eighties band Weeping Tower. Simon’s wanted to give up on uni and start a band for ages, and his new ghost friends might just be the chance he’s been waiting for. The only obstacle is that they’re, you know, ghosts.

Summary:

The final battle has come to Watford, and it’s down to Simon and Baz. Simon thinks this war is his destiny—his only choice.

But when a heart-breaking decision throws his entire world off-kilter, Simon has to rethink everything.

And he has to do whatever it takes to fix his mistake.

Summary: After winning a cup in 2011 and eventually regressing back into a rebuild, the Vancouver Canucks select Simon Snow first overall in the 2020 NHL draft. Second overall pick Tyrannus ‘Baz’ Basilton Grimm-Pitch is made out to be Simon’s biggest rival, especially when he’s picked by the Boston Bruins. But things aren’t going smoothly for either of them- Baz is on personal leave from his team and staying in his hometown of Vancouver for now, while Simon is crumbling under the pressure to lead the team right back into cup contention. A chance meeting at a bar one day results in an unlikely friendship and plants the seeds for something more.

happy to share my piece for the @carry-on-big-bang <3

Words left unsaid by @mae-berry

It's been over two weeks since anyone has heard from Simon, nearly a month since Baz has. Penelope warns him away and Baz isn't taking it well, alone, broken, and working through his trauma. Will Baz be able to reconnect with Simon, can he learn this new Simon? Can he even learn to live with himself?

How do we join the discord? 🐟

The link should be included in the confirmation email we sent out to you!

I know that we're in the middle of the mini bang and you probably already have plans for the next big bang but have you all ever considered a reverse big bang where the artist create their art first and then there's claims for the writers to choose one and they write something based off the art and the idea/prompt/whatever that the artist gives them? I think it would be pretty cool and might shake things up a bit if people were interested in doing that

Hi, thank you for the idea!

We have talked about it (now) and we might do that in the future! The COBB20 will be a completely normal big bang, but we will definitely try and shake things up a little for the COBB21, and other big bangs in the future!

[carry-on-big-bang]

Maybe it's bc I'm on mobile which is wonky, but I can't find the schedule for 2021. Clicking the link on other posts doesn't work, searching for it only gives me the 2020 schedule, and scrolling through your blog I don't see it either.

Ah, I was hoping that we wouldn’t run into this problem. Tumblr mobile is so wonky I think you have to use a browser to access our pages. I’ll go ahead and put those in their own posts (the schedule, faq, and rules) with read more links. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!
