august landry doesn’t DO magic” babygirl that may be the case but magic definitely does you

[maud-blyth-wannabe]

No you guys don’t get it bc Alex and Henry go to Pancake Billy’s on rainy Sunday mornings and late late drunken Friday nights because it’s a really short walk from the brownstones and they’re August’s regulars- they know her by name. She asks Henry for David photos and in turn David asks how her girlfriend is. They’ve been invited to house parties with the apartment squad. They’ve been to Christmas in July. And the Cafe in Paris was actually a place Kit was working for a while, he made the best pain au chocolat Henry’s ever had, and Theo just so happens to be an extended cousin on the Claremont side bc the world is so small. When Alex and Henry were going through the wedding guest list Henry read the Flowerday names and said “like, those Flowerdays?” And Alex snorted and said “yeah those are the Cali Claremont Cousins. Theo’s cool they’re around our age. You’d probably like their boyfriend”. You guys don’t get the McQuistonverse the way I do it’s all connected bro

greetings from fairewoods, california! we hope you're having a wonderful time, will herondale ( the shadowhunter chronicles ) and henry fox ( red white and royal blue ), here in our little sanctuary! make sure you read the checklist, and we'll be sending you the discord link through ims! welcome to a land where everyone gets their happy ever after, kit!

{ the shadowhunter chronicles ( the infernal devices, canon, ca ). jordan gonzalez; he/him; trans man. } — do you hear that? it sounds like ( my love mine all mine ) by ( mitski ). i think i heard ( gwilym owain herondale - amoros | william owen herondale - amoros ) playing this before. have you met them yet? they’re a ( twenty-eight ) year old ( children's librarian + writer ), and they’re usually always hanging around ( cobalt library ). they’re known around town for ( always talking about jem carstairs ); fitting for them, since they’re so ( loyal ) yet ( self destructive ). they’re sort of associated with ( watercolour blue eyes, sharing half of a soul, memorized passages from well worn books, never knowing if you actually deserve to be happy, a desire to save the people you love the most ) which makes total sense when you get to know them. i wonder how they’ve been doing lately; last i heard from them, they were telling me about a dream they had? something about ( not being able to save jem and give them the life they deserved with tessa ), but i’m not sure what they were talking about. they always do tell the strangest stories… // [ kit, 29 / est, they/he. ]

{ casey mcquistonverse ( red white and royal blue, canon, ca ).  nicholas galitzine;  he/him;  cis man.  }  —  do you hear that?  it sounds like (so long london) by ( taylor swift ). i think i heard ( henry george edward james fox-mountchristen-windsor ) playing this before. have you met them yet?  they’re a ( thirty-one ) year old ( writer under a pen name ), and they’re usually always hanging around ( auralie well ). they’re known around town for ( being prom king as a joke );  fitting for them, since they’re so (generous) yet (guarded).  they’re sort of associated with ( a secret that makes you feel as if it's hard to breathe, a dog named after your favourite artist, a pen scribbling out your great novel) which makes total sense when you get to know them.  i wonder how they’ve been doing lately;  last i heard from them, they were telling me about a dream they had?  something about ( not abdicating the crown earlier in his life ), but i’m not sure what they were talking about.  they always do tell the strangest stories…  //  [ kit,  29 / est,  they/he.  ]

I Kissed Shara Wheeler out of context:

“We got sidetracked doing a mozzarella stick tasting”

“Chloe, we’re gay. We can’t do math.”

“Once in a generation, there is a bisexual who can do math. You’re the chosen one.”

“Absolute wrecking ball bitch”

“Not unless you’re into marriage dramas about straight white people who can’t stop having affairs.”

“You know I’m always on horny monster watch for you.”

“Oh, you’re a cilantro hater”

“You know what else smells amazing? Sharpies. Like, a fresh one, when it’s juicy.”

“She’s gay, Your Honor!”

“It kind of sounds like she’s the megabitch of your dreams.”

I have some thoughts about One last stop by Casey Mcquiston and reviews I've seen by Argentinian book influencers mainly on tiktok and instagram.

I don't know if they all came to an agreement to say shit about the book or the "ringleader" told them all what to say. Literally every person from my country who's read the book has talked absolute SHIT about it. One of them even claimed this is the WORST book recommended by tiktok, and because she has a lot of influence over the community, a lot of people started saying they will not be reading the book. About this, I have some shit to say.

1. If you liked Red, white and royal blue (by the same author) and you didn't like One last stop, you may be a bigot. Don't get me wrong, I love Alex and Henry, but August and Jane's story is truly beautiful and well constructed as well. Is it that you don't like that they fall in love quickly or is it that you can't sympathize with queer women?

2. American politics are impossible to understand if you're not American. That being said, Red, white and royal blue has a lot of talk about politics, and that's fine because it's essential, so we gotta put up with it. Now, what about queer history in One last stop? I've seen people say One last stop has a lot of filler that adds nothing. I think all the little stories are important to the development of the story. The pancake place, Auggies story, everything.

3. One last stop features a main character who is a 23 year old bisexual woman struggling to make ends meet. Been there, done that. That's all I gotta say here, this character is hella relatable if you struggle with work and money and love and housing.

4. August is such a sweetheart. She's so caring, and stubborn, and funny, and clumsy. She's a proud woman trying to make something of her life.

5. Regarding influencers, I gotta say they have more power than we realize. I know I have to be the person choosing what interests me and what I want to read. Some people, unfortunately, don't know better, so they'll consume what's fed to them. There's this girl who is a writer and of course she wants ppl to read her book, but this very same person said One last stop is the worst book that "came out of" tiktok, meaning it became popular in the app. So her fans or followers now will not read the book because she said it's bad. A lot of people, not only her, recommend books with horrible plots or characters, with content that may be harmful for some people. And they glorify the books!! What's to glorify about an asshole of a male character who treats women like shit? because inside he cares about her!! Please. Have some common sense.

6. I know. I know I'm making it too big of a deal. But the thing is, when I read One last stop I recommended it to everyone because I loved the characters, loved the story and the way it made me reflect upon our history. I remind you I live in Argentina, but unfortunately hate crimes do exist here. I could go out tomorrow holding a girl's hand and be beaten to death. My brother can be assaulted in the streets for being gay. No queer person is safe and it's really important for us to think about this. Shit like this happened in the 70s and they still happen today in 2022. This is our history. We should never forget the names of people who died trying to live their lives freely and unafraid.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

the chloe green aesthetic 

i imagine chloe’s aesthetic to be a cross between chaotic bisexual and preppy/academia-core. She’s got the man-killer shoes in all forms and is ready to crush her enemies with her words. Chloe had her emo phase and I feel like that followed her in the form of dark colours and plaid skirts. I see her wearing a lot of cropped and/or form fitting shirts and either plaid/tennis skirts or cool jeans. 

(Peep the quirky jewelry a la Ash)

“Wait,” Alex says, clenching his fist in the bedspread, and Henry immediately stills.

Red, White & Royal Blue, Casey McQuiston.

“I wanna go down on you,” Jane murmurs. “Is that cool?”

“Wha-what the fuck kind of question is that?”

“I need a yes or no.”

One Last Stop, Casey McQuiston.

Consent is sexy.

the rory heron aesthetic 

i also feel like rory’s aesthetic doesn’t need much explanation. he’s the grungey teen boy of everyone’s dreams. to me, he gives off major ATYD Marauders. what can i say, he’s a hipster gay!
