COC, day 27: Intertwined
I’d give him all that I am.
I’d give him all that I was.
I’d open up a vein.
I’d tie our hearts together, chamber by chamber.

so i have this au called "the mage's heir" where davy never gives simon up after lucy's death and, instead, makes the decision to raise him alone. and kinda does okay! davy is still all *snazzy piano riff* and shit, but in this verse, taking care of simon when he's small forces him to step away from his work and chill the fuck out a bit. at least for a little while. (simon winds up growing up into a signficiantly more arrogant and morally grey version of himself tho.)
#carry on#co/ws/awtwb#snowbaz#simon snow#davy cadwallader#a.k.a. my boyfriend#sketchbook apocalypse#au: the mage's heir#in my head simon is talking about warrior cats in this picture lmao#n e way here are a few things:#-> simon is 8 years old the first time he goes off (davy takes him to see lucy's grave)#-> simon and penny meet when they're 4/5 bc davy wanted to get his vamp attack on watford going but what was he gonna do? bring simon? no#so he showed up at mitali's door and she was gonna slam that shit right in his face but davy opened with: ''lucy needs a favour''#(cue simon poking his little head out from behind davy's legs)#-> simon still goes to agatha's place for winter break + he goes to penny's place for the autumn and spring half-term breaks too#-> simon realises he's into baz at the end of fifth year and freaks out about it all summer for all the obvious reasons#but then he gets over it and sixth year becomes a montage of simon trying (and failing) to ask him out in increasingly convoluted ways

bringing this post back because I think more of you in this fandom need the reminder
my main takeaway from the Simon Snow series
You Are Not Broken.
Simon grew up in care with no one that really cared about him. No one coddled him, no one fussed over him when he didn't feel well, and he felt like the most insignificant nobody in all of England.
And then this cool guy that has a sword and can do magic (whoa!) sweeps in and tells him that he's the most important and powerful somebody to ever exist and sweeps his entire world out from under him.
When we get his POVs, the mage spends the entire book telling us he has to fix Simon. That Simon is broken because he can't harness his power (which I did a tiny essay on here if you're interested). That Simon is so broken and shattered that he is unfixable.
From a boy with nothing to "Let the greatest power of powers reign, and may it save us all" and then back to a boy with nothing. His magic was what connected him to that beautiful world of worthiness and just as quickly as he was whisked into it, he was cast out. After being told by his mentor that he was unfixably broken.
That's... devastating.
and even more devastatingly, he believed it.
He believed it so much that started self-sabotaging every other good thing in his life because one horrible manipulative person told him he was broken.
and he believed it for over a year.
Which is why Simon and Baz meeting Lady Salisbury was so important.
She had a son who barely had any magic. And even though he didn't have magic, he didn't have that crucial connection to his mother's world that was coveted above everything else, she loved him anyway. She loves him so so much. and then, her son with some magic became her son with no magic at all. And she still cried with joy over his return when he came back to her.
Because love doesn't care about a silly thing like magic. Love is the greater magic, and it always is, and always will be.
He didn't have any magic to give, because he gave it all away. But he had love. He has more love in him than any other character in that series, except for maybe Ruth. He loves his school. He loves his friends. He loves his world of mages, even if it hurts too much to be a big part of it. He loves his mentor, and the silly goats that everyone overlooked, and even his evil, scorned roommate. Maybe the scorned roommate most of all. Simon never had a shortage of love to give.
And meeting Ruth and his real family was finally able to prove to him that the love he held close and carried around his whole life was finally enough. Better yet, it had always been enough, even though he was the last to see it.
Your love is enough. The love and goodness you put out into this world is enough. And you are worthy of love in return. Always. No exceptions. You are not broken. You are human, and humans are immovable and unshatterable. Your love is your magic, and you are worthy.
This post is for you. Never let them tell you you're not magic.

Carry On Countdown
Day 28: Snowed In
How ever will they fill the time?
I was traveling yesterday and could only get so much drawing done on the plane. I really thought it was gonna be quick and easy, but in a move that should surprise no one, it got away from me. As I was working on the sweater, I thought it would be made to fit with magic but I wanted Simon to be independent. So then I started thinking of how that construction might work and suddenly steeking and fair isle got involved. And I’ve drawn so many wings during this event that as I looked at them more critically, I realized that I had gotten the growth plates for the bones wrong. Of course my high school anatomy class knowledge would pick now to show up.
Spadey even got his own little mitt. (I loved this idea, @facewithoutheart! And thank you for letting me run logistics by you and just generally egging me on, @thewholelemon)
This will be my last day for COC as I’m regrettably spending the holidays with the in laws. I’m honestly surprised that I was able to participate in as many days as I did! I’m so proud of what I’ve managed to create and thank you so much for everyone’s kind words! The holidays can be hard and this made them a little easier for me.
#ending COC with a little steaminess#so many hands and wings for this event!#endless gratitude for this fandom#coc 2024#carry on countdown 2024#snowbaz#baz pitch#simon snow#carry on countdown#rainbow rowell

Day 15: wlw
I got Carried away with some AU stuff (don't take this as a: I'm writing AU stuff. Its more like I've drawn concept art but the writing aspect? Yeah no no...)
Anyway the story I've sort-of-not-quite (it's in the works sort of ((I've been staring at my laptop for hours trying to sort it out)) ) itself isn't WLW!snowbaz but i like drawing pretty women in pretty dresses and armour so I don't give a fuck 😋😇🙏
ARGH and also I accidentally messed up Simone's hair (accidentally put a black line through it), so instead of doing the logical thing by whiteouting it I just did it black

Carry On Countdown Days 24, 25, and 26: Holiday Shopping, Truce, and Savour.
First up: Holiday Shopping. Baz and Simon bought their rings for each other separately, but the two have a common theme— between the fiery design on Baz’s ring, and the pine-wood inlay on Simon’s, both harken back to the night of their first kiss. Baz also had a little something made for Simon, as something of a formal welcome to the family. (Special thanks to @monbons for helping me refine details for this idea!)
Next: Truce! I imagined the two sharing a handfasting wedding ceremony and using the same incantation that first brought them closer together— sealing their vows to each other once more with with a handshake, a spell, and (shortly after this ‘picture’) a kiss. (Credit to @larkral for helping a ton with this idea, specifically the thought to use a Watford tie in place of the traditional cord).
Finally: Savour! Between Baz’s secret sweet tooth, Simon’s voraciousness, and Lady Ruth’s skills in the kitchen, I imagined their wedding cake would be something to behold. So, behold! A Weeping Tower inspired cake structure with layers of various flavors that call back to moments in their shared story.
Which layer would you go for?
Thanks as always to @larkral and @monbons for their advice and support in my art journey, and to @carryon-countdown for the spectacular prompt list and organization! Happy winter solstice!

Six Sentence Sunday
Thank you @theimpossibledemon for the tag like two weeks ago, I get so happy being tagged XD I’m sorry it’s taken this long to reciprocate!
I had planned on getting the second chapter of Snow On Ice out before this weekend, but my adhd and the general chaos of this time of year had other plans. Rest assured, a new chapter is coming and it is a chonk.
For now, here is Baz introducing himself to the rest of the contestants and skaters:
“Hello, my name is Baz. I’m a singles figure skater. My fact is that I have known Simon Snow since we were children, and his fun fact is that he can drink three cherry slushies then do a spin with 22 rotations without being sick.” The corner of my mouth twitches upwards as everyone around the table chuckles. Snow looks at me like I’ve just told everyone he’s not wearing any underwear. Personally, I thought I was being kind. I could’ve added it was the 23rd rotation that made him spew bright blue vomit all over the ice.
Want to read more? This is my original post summarising Snow On Ice, a fic I'm writing based on gorgeous artwork by @iamamythologicalcreature for this year's @carryon-reverse-bang✨ The first chapter is up on Ao3.
If you’d like to be tagged in future updates, let me know❤️

the wayward son driving scene
told y’all my blog was going to have a theme.
“who taught you to drive” “Daphne” “did she use magic?” “No” “can you use magic to drive?” “Yes, but then you wouldn’t learn.”
“yes but then you wouldn’t learn.” OH BASILTON THE MAN THAT YOU ARE he probably didn’t even realize it (because Simon hadn’t told him yet) but that was. the perfect thing to say to Simon in the moment. “No you don’t need to use magic, because then you wouldn’t have skill at all”
okay so maybe there’s not really a point to this post besides that was a GREAT line given their relationship altercations and I love it’s presence.

Day 27 of @carryon-countdown

Have a work in progress. Sorry fam, I might be done for the time being. I got my kid’s illness and it’s kicking my entire ass. Like can’t sit up levels of ass kicking.
Time will tell. Fingers crossed for a magical turn around.
