This sat on my drafts for a few months cause I couldn’t get the coloring right fksjsjhdf

Loved this book btw, underrated

[henry-fox-biggest-stan]

Chappell Roan and Casey McQuiston let’s go

Good Luck, Babe - Shara Wheeler!!! Shara heard this for the first time when it came out and dropped to her knees.

Naked In Manhattan - One Last Stop!! The most One Last Stop song to ever One Last Stop. Seriously. It’s SO them.

Casual - Alex after the lakehouse. I know you’re thinking “but the song is so Henry!! Two weeks and your mom invites me to her house in Long Beach!” but you’re wrong. Henry meant for it to be casual the whole time, and when it was clear than for Alex it wasn’t casual, he ran. It was never casual for Henry, sure, but Alex thought it was after he left the lakehouse. Also Jane when August kept insisting the kisses were purely “for research”.

Picture You - Somehow both Henry and August.

Pink Pony Club - IKSW cast after leaving False Beach in the future (specially Shara), also August through the book, with all the people she met (oh Santa Monica, you’ve been too good to me)

My Kink Is Karma - Chloe Green!

HOT TO GO! - I feel like this will fit The Pairing (no I haven’t read it, but I do have read reviews)

Red Wine Supernova - August!! I mean, “she was a playboy, she showed me things I didn’t know, she did it right there, out on the deck, put her canine teeth on the side of my neck” and “fell in love with the thought of you” is SO august.

Femininomenon - Nora, Shara, and Myla would know the whole song from memory and scream it during car rides.

California - Teen Jane after running away from home to be herself, finding herself missing her sisters and her parents.

Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl - June Claremont-Diaz the super graphic ultra modern girl that you are.

Kaleidoscope - Henry before the lakehouse, thinking than Alex would eventually get tired of him and it was all just casual fun.

Die Young - Somehow, Bea (before rehab)

Coffee - Kit perhaps. Again, haven’t read the pairing, but based on reviews (containing spoilers) then…

After Midnight - Our bisexual icon, Alex (while drunk)

Guilty Pleasure - August! Also Shara (guilty cause you know)

Love Me Anyway - Both Alex and Henry!!! “When I met you at summer camp, I would never give you the chance,” Alex hating Henry after meeting him at Rio, and Henry wanting to keep distance from Alex. “Turned you down at your high school dance” Alex insisting to keep things casual and Henry leaving the lakehouse.

Good Hurt - Baby Henry with Philip’s uni friend, who he knows is not the best choice, but he’s just lonely and grieving and needs someone, anyone.

Meantime - Perhaps Liam’s pov of his situationship with Alex during high school.

Sugar High - Rory about Smith.

Bad For You - idk (and no, it is not rwrb)

The Subway - DUH august during the month she thought Jane went back to the 70s. Also Alex after the lakehouse, but mostly August.

rest in peace, chappell roan, you would LOVE one last stop

was at the bookstore today and found copies of i kissed shara wheeler that included bonus content! didn’t know this existed, and was interesting read.

rest of the pictures below the cut:

they who kissed shara wheeler (+ shara wheeler)

[salemontrial]

I like to think Brooklyn is a White House Intern during the last year of Ellen Claremont's 2nd term. I reckon Smith and Shara would be on the front lines of the "History, Huh?" movement. I think Chloe cheered so hard she spilled her soda on her roommate's carpet when she watched Alex's speech and heard him say "I'm the First Son of the United States and I'm bisexual. History will remember us". I think Ash and a few of their uni friends painted a mural of Prince Henry in an underpass after the story broke and it went viral (and I like to think Alex printed it out and has it stuck up on his desk through the better part of his time in law school). Idk I think it would be fun if they were in the same world

[pickafandomanyfandom]

Okay hear me out

I kissed Shara wheeler from smiths perspective called “I Dated Shara Wheeler” and it takes place after the events of IKSW. The books goes through his identity and gender struggles, his relationship, and his life in college playing football and just being himself. Ofc there would be inclusion of Chloe and Shara just like in IKSW but it wouldn’t be focused on them.

The cover (like IKSW) would have smith but it would be him looking down at Rory’s leather notebook, blushing, with flowers in his hair. I feel like the background would be blue but idk. (I may draw it, idk)

I would KILL for more smith and it would add a book more gender oriented into the CMQ universe after “the pairing” comes out.

Best Quotes From 'I Kissed Shara Wheeler'

"Chloe Green is going to put her fist through a window. Usually when she has a thought like that, it means she's spiritually on the brink. But right now, squared up to the door of the Wheeler house, she's actually physically ready to do it."

"Chloe, we’re gay. We can’t do math."

"I can say her name. She's not Beetlejuice." "She's not." Chloe agrees. "She's worse."

"That's not a game. That's a concussion."

"Because I feel bad doing all that to a frog," Smith says. "Like, I don't know how he died! What if he had a family? What if he had like, dreams? What if he never got to finish Breaking Bad?"

"She does not say, "I kissed you daughter, twice," but she thinks it. She thinks it hard."

"She's gay, Your Honor!"

"Chloe has to stop herself from pumping her fist like the end of The Breakfast Club."

"A lot of high school is about figuring out what matters to you and what doesn't. For some of us, popularity matters. For others, it's grades or dating or extracurriculars or our parents' opinions or all of the above. Sometimes, it's a question of whether anything that happens in these four years matters at all. And it does, but not in the way that a lot of people think. High school matters because it shapes how we see the world when we enter it."

"Most of the things we're feeling right now are things we are feeling for the first time. We're learning what it means to feel them. What we can mean to one another. Of course that matters."

"Shara thinks she's The Girl? But Shara's The Girl. What do you say when The Girl tells you that you're The Girl to her?"

"The problem has always been this: When I look at you, I taste lime, and I see light on water."

Just because everyone here knows who you are, and everyone talks about everyone else’s business, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to be the person you know you are. There are things out there for you that you haven’t even thought of yet, that you don’t even know how to think of yet. Who you are here doesn’t have to be the same as who you are out there. And if the person you feel like you have to be in this town doesn’t feel right to you, you’re allowed to leave. You’re allowed to exist. Even if it means existing somewhere else.

i kissed shara wheeler is one of my favourite books of all time and these passages are making me go fucking feral

[uitzinnigmp3]

i find that everything i am is everything i should be (i don't need to run away)

[message from rory heron: 15mins away! meet u there??] Shara looks at Chloe, who looks seconds away from saying various, very non-Christian swear words. “We’re not making it to the place in time, are we?” Chloe pauses for a second to collect herself. Then she sighs. Her thumbs start flying over the keyboard of her phone. “I swear, when will they finally start acting like actual gays and start showing up late to everything,” she mutters, and presses send. [chloe green: running late sryyyy can yall come to mine first?] [chloe green shared their live location] Chloe puts her phone in the back pocket of her shorts. “So,” she says, opening the bathroom cabinet and grabbing her make-up pouch. “Black or pink eyeliner?” or, it's hard to shake habits when you've had them all your life. but it's possible, one step at a time.

I Kissed Shara Wheeler and Taylor (also did rwrb, one last stop is next)

Chloe Argumentative, antithetical dream girl / You’re a bandit like me / And it’s all good if you’re bad, and it’s okay if you’re mad / Takes one to know one / Thought I had reason to attack / Maybe I’m just a girl on a mission / Asked me what I learnt from all those years / I don’t like slow motion double vision in a rose blush / I'm ready for combat, I say I don't want that, what if I do? / No more keeping score, now I just keep you warm Green

Shara A pathological people pleaser / To make them love me and make it seem effortless / I’m still trying everything to keep you looking at me / Confess my truth in swooping, sloping, cursive letters / She's not a saint, and she's not what you think, she's an actress / My reputation’s never been worse so, you must like me for me / My town was a wasteland, full of cages, full of fences, pageant queens and big pretenders / I laid the groundwork, and then just like clockwork, the dominoes cascaded in a line / Don’t pretend it’s such a mystery / I had a marvelous time ruining everything Wheeler

Rory Can’t you see than I’m the one who understands you? Been here all along / I’ve been the archer, I’ve been the prey / “Oh my god, she’s insane, she wrote a song about me” / I’ll stare directly at the sun but never into the mirror / He's the song in the car I keep singin', don't know why I do / This place’s too crowded, too many cool kids / All those other girls, well they’re beautiful, but would they write a song for you? / When the truth is like a stranger hits you right between the eyes / Don’t need another metaphor, it’s simple enough / Put the money in the bag and I stole the keys Heron

Smith Hey Stephen / They all wanna be ya, but are you still the same soul I met under the bleachers? / And my so-called friends, they don’t know / Through it all nobody gets me like you do / And at every table, I’ll save you a seat / Is it cool than I said all that? / You can feel it on the way home / I still got love for you / And it always leads to you, in my hometown / I’d tell you I miss you but I don’t know how Parker

Georgia I want auroras and sad prose / I’m so in love than I might stop breathing / And I’m wearing my heart on my sleeve / My hands shake, I’m not usually this way / Every dead-end street brought you straight to me / Now I read all of the books beside your bed / I wrote a poem, you say “What a mind” / I can’t stop you putting roots in my dream land / On the outside looking in / I believe in what I feel, I've always been the same girl Neale

I KISSED SHARA WHEELER:

moments from the summer that are canon cuz i say so :P

1. whenever rory and chloe hang out, she sits passenger and they jam out to my chemical romance and old panic! at the disco. even when they pick up smith and shara, chloe does not give up shotgun and they continue to scream welcome to the black parade. smith and shara sit in the back seat and look at their ~alt~ significant others with huge heart eyes.

2. chloe and shara have picnic reading dates! they especially love to read sapphic books and they always swap after they are done so that they can read each others and talk about them.

3. they have group sleepovers at chloe’s house, because her parents are cool about those kind of things. smith tries to subtly ask ash, shara, chloe, or summer to do his makeup, trying to not let on how giddy and excited it makes him. they notice, quietly. rory strums his guitar in the corner and watches with soft eyes. they watch all sorts of movies from ghibli films (georgia and ash’s fave) to marvel (much to ace’s joy and benjy’s anger), various animes (due to smith and rory staging a coup on movie night) and they frequently rewatch but i’m a cheerleader (shara’s fave).

4. smith enjoys picking rory up and throwing him in the pool. rory pretends to hate it. one time he does it to chloe. she actually hates it.

5. (tw underage substance use) occasionally they drink, but more often they smoke thanks to rory and his friends (why was i that person in high school lol). chloe and summer decide not to and smith can’t because of football drug testing, but rory smokes out shara, ash, benji, and georgia for the first time. they watch barbie movies and shara laughs so hard at benjis’s impromptu improv performance she cries. rory lays his head in smith’s lap in front of everybody. smith blushes. summer is dying at how cute high georgia is and chloe just braids sharas hair over and over again while she sits on the couch and shara sits between her legs on the floor.

6. rory plays at a few open mics and the entire squad always goes to support him. smith gets incredibly flushed and embarrassed when they know the songs he is singing are about them. sometimes they give him new stickers for his guitar or bouquets of wildflowers they picked as gifts after.

7. BENJY AND ACE BECOME BEST FRIENDS SORRY I DON’T MAKE THE RULES. They have sung Santa Fe in the car together more than once. benjy shows ace starkid musicals and dr. horrible’s sing-a-long blog for the first time and an alliance is formed. maybe they even smooch who knows.

8. ash starts slowly gifting smith some things to quietly affirm their gender, like a glittery gold eyeshadow, a a bottle of lavender nail polish, and some butterfly hair clips.

9. so many gay people are making each other playlists. so many. here is shara’s playlist for chloe: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/to-chloe-from-shara/pl.u-AkAmYKeIjl466g if i make more i will add them (:

10. chloe and shara get matching necklaces before chloe leaves for school and they wear them every day.

[salemontrial]

I'm sending up a prayer to every God and beautiful creature on the planet that when the rwrb movie goes well and Casey's other books get explored, I Kissed Shara Wheeler gets an adaptation. However. Chloe and Shara are way too powerful of characters for 99% of people to understand and they will get ripped apart and I will chew through drywall if people misinterpret them because people flip absolute shit if a queer woman (or just a Woman) acts anything below perfect and I could never stand to see my fucked up girls done dirty like that.
