Status Updates From My Rosebud Boy

And I want everyone to know that she's made me sad. I've looked up to her forever and she's upset me with how bad that was.

I've never been more disappointed with an author, with their work and with myself for finishing something, hoping it gets better. It doesn't. Every page is worse than the last.

This was the most insane piece of character assassination that I had the misfortune of reading. I had to force myself to get to the end, but I'm gonna accept that this was fanfic and move on as if I never saw it. The more of a fan you are, the less I recommend.

Stomach 🥰

Baz being exasperated and fond while Simon convinces him things can work out when he thinks things will not work between them.

Dysfunction

Baz being in love with him from the start but not knowing how to do anything about it and then feeling bad

Associating Baz with magic. Sunlight although interestingly no reference to fire as of yet

Fit goblins

Baz’s sneering was mentioned earlier and now his eyebrow thing

How aware are Pokémon of their evolutions? (This isn’t relevant to comparing elements of the og series)

Be overthinking everything

The sword (although fuck this elusive Jeremy for stealing it what a dick move… I mean I’d steal a sword from a guy too but..)

Shepard and his obsessions with mythical creatures and Penny and her rule on not having too many of something (now I’m equating tattoos to friends)

The miscommunication where they’re both too worried about the other’s feelings to be honest

Particularly Baz thinking his mother would be ashamed of him for who he is although I don’t think they said she was religious in the og trilogy

Baz’s matching mommy issues (Simon more focused on his chest hair)

Trust

The wings

Not thinking

The shrugging and note that although he’s unlabeled in the og trilogy (completely valid) here in this au in his thirties he says gay

Davy being an absent father and conspiracy theorist (bonus: for Simon killing rats as a job)

Collaborating on a sentimental project (yes I’m comparing getting tattoos to solving a murder)

That they both like each other but Baz takes what he can get and Simon makes the first moves

“Addictive”

His thing for pain… and Baz
